Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 32 First Meeting with Tang Wulin

"Ah."

Gu Yue nodded.

She naturally assumed that she was the one instructing Su Ming.

Watching the two grow closer, Zhang Tianyang smiled and said, "Young people should interact more with other people their own age."

Zhang Tianyang said to Gu Yue, "I've already opened up the Soul Spirit Research Institute permissions for you. I'll personally take you there to familiarize yourself with the environment later. There are only seven Soul Spirit Research Institutes in the Spirit Pagoda. The Tianhai Alliance only has one research institute in Tianhai City. If you are really interested in Soul Spirit research, you can come here to study."

Gu Yue shook her head.

"Donghai Academy is quite good."

"Alright, I won't force you. In that case, you can only come during holidays. Fortunately, transportation is very convenient in this era. Donghai City is quite close to Tianhai City. It takes less than two hours to go back and forth by the Soul Guidance Train."

"Thank you very much, Tower Master Zhang," Gu Yue said.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you there,” Zhang Tianyang said.

Su Ming was not interested in the study of souls.

He just didn't expect that Gu Yue would activate this kind of permission as soon as he joined the Spirit Pagoda.

It can only be said that her purpose in joining the Spirit Pagoda was very clear.

"Teacher, you said Gu Yue is from Donghai City?"

Zhang Tianyang hadn't even left the house when he heard Su Ming's words. He turned around, glanced at Su Ming, and said, "Yes."

"When Gu Yue leaves, please let me know. I'll go with her. Teacher Zhenhua asked me to deliver some things to the Donghai City Forging Association."

“I will personally escort you two,” Zhang Tianyang said.

Su Ming didn't just wait idly. He returned to his cultivation room and, taking advantage of the time, performed a thousand-fold forging.

He was very lucky and completed the first grade of the thousand-fold forging.

Forging depends on luck, but it also requires skill.

If the forging technique meets the standards, even the probability of soul forging can be increased.

Of course, the chance of Su Ming breaking through to the first grade of the thousand-refinement is also only 40%. He had only been at the first grade of the thousand-refinement for three months and had learned many techniques from Zhen Hua. He swallowed them all at once and had not yet fully digested them.

The spiritual light before him was restrained. Su Ming tested the metal, then disappointedly tossed it into his storage bracelet, intending to sell it later.

"It's not a characteristic related to time."

Su Ming fell into deep thought.

"Time-related characteristics are too rare. Apart from the first piece of silver that I successfully forged with delayed effects after a thousand refinements, I haven't succeeded a second time in the past few years."

Su Ming in Douluo Continent I also completed the first Thousand Refinements of that era through blood sacrifice, but he did not develop any time-related characteristics.

"It has little to do with blood sacrifice; it's mainly related to other aspects."

"Luck plays a part, and skill plays a part too. I must have just not adjusted my mindset properly somewhere."

Su Ming reflected for a while.

After reflecting on his actions, Zhang Tianyang showed Gu Yue around the Soul Spirit Research Institute and then led Su Ming to the rooftop.

after an hour.

Donghai City Forging Masters Association.

Su Ming and Zhang Tianyang jumped out of the mecha. Zhang Tianyang waved his hand and put the mecha back into his storage soul tool.

Gu Yue had already been sent back to Donghai Academy by him halfway.

"Let's go."

Su Ming entered the Forging Masters Association in front of him.

Hello, how can I help you?

“I’m looking for President Mu Chen,” Su Ming said.

The receptionist was slightly startled.

She didn't doubt Su Ming, after all, Su Ming and his senior had just jumped out of a red-level mecha.

Soon, the receptionist dialed the president's office.

"Hey?"

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

"President, someone is looking for you."

"I understand. Bring them up." "This way, gentlemen."

The receptionist led the two to the elevator, which took them to the top floor, and then to the president's office.

She knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Mu Chen's voice came from inside the door.

Su Ming looked into the doorway and saw his martial uncle, Mu Chen, with a man and a woman beside him. The man was about the same age as him and was very beautiful, while the woman was much older.

"What brings you to my Donghai City Forging Association, Master Zhang?"

Mu Chen recognized Zhang Tianyang; he had just seen the red mecha through the window.

When Tang Wulin saw the red-level mecha, he was so envious that he almost leaned against the window and drooled. He was disappointed in Zhang Tianyang and told him that Zhang Tianyang was arrogant and flew around in a red-level mecha, and that he would be shot down sooner or later.

“It’s not me looking for you, it’s my apprentice,” Zhang Tianyang said.

Mu Chen then turned his gaze to Su Ming and examined him carefully, slightly surprised: "Is this your disciple? This soul power fluctuation, could he already be a Great Soul Master?"

Tang Wulin and Mu Xi, who were standing to the side, were both shocked.

Great Soul Master?
"He's the same age as me, yet he's already over level 20!" Tang Wulin felt immense pressure for no apparent reason.

Mu Chen scanned Su Ming's body and noticed the marks of frequent forging. He had a guess in his mind and immediately became as steady as an old dog, asking, "What brings you here?"

"My forging teacher asked me to come here to deliver something to my master."

A teacher who forges character?

There's already a teacher?
Then why are you even looking for me?

These thoughts flashed through Mu Chen's mind.

No, he called me "Uncle-Master"?

Who is my senior brother?
Zhenhua?

"Are you Zhenhua's disciple?"

"Yes."

"What did he ask you to bring me?" Mu Chen subconsciously sensed something was wrong.

Given Zhenhua's personality, it's unlikely he would have his apprentice bring him something specifically.
Because he himself had the same thoughts, he had a vague premonition.

"I didn't know that; it's all in this storage bracelet."

Su Ming took off a large bracelet from his right hand and handed it to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen took the bracelet in his hand, poured his soul power into it, and sensed what was inside. His lips twitched.

Inside was a batch of thousand-times-forged metal, not a large quantity, which didn't seem like support from headquarters to a branch.

This batch of thousand-refined metals all have similar auras, seemingly made by the same person. There are fifty pieces in total, all of which are of the first grade of thousand-refined metal!

"Very good, Uncle is very satisfied with this gift." Mu Chen smiled and said to Su Ming, "You can come to Donghai City more often when you have time."

"Yes, I will," Su Ming said.

"What's your name?"

"Su Ming."

"Hmm, how old are you?"

"Nine years old."

Mu Chen remained silent for a moment.

"Wu Lin, you are the same age."

Tang Wulin didn't know what was inside the bracelet, but he replied, "Yes, teacher, I'm nine years old too."

"You can communicate more in the future; competition will motivate you," Mu Chen said.

Tang Wulin was puzzled.

"Since you are my senior brother's disciple, then as your senior uncle, it shouldn't be a problem for me to see your forging skills, right?"

"No problem at all."
