The other worker-students around him couldn't help but reveal a glimmer of envy in their eyes, of course, it was just envy. The scene of Tang San defeating Xie Xie today had left a deep impression on their minds, even Wang Sang felt admiration for him. He asked himself that even if he got a soul ring, he might not be able to win against him.

  Xiao Wu curiously asked: "What are the benefits of becoming a Soul Master? It can't just be an empty title, right?"

  Tang San chuckled and said, "There are some benefits after all. At least from now on, we can eat a bit better. Soul Masters receive a gold soul coin subsidy every month."

  "A golden soul coin? So many." Xiaowu now also understood the importance of money, although Xiao Chenyu had already said that from now on, all living expenses for working students would be counted as his, but having money in one's own hands was always better than others'.

  While speaking, Xiaowu jumped down from the bed and rushed out excitedly.

  "Xiao Wu, where are you going?"

  "I'm also going to register as a Soul Master, one gold soul coin can buy so many delicious things."

  "There's no need to rush like that."

  "How can you not be in a hurry? Have you forgotten that today is the end of the month? If we go now, we might even get two gold coins for next month."

  "But can you put on your shoes and go?"

  "Uh..."

  Xiao Wu ultimately went to the Soul Master Temple with her usual fiery personality, and Tang San couldn't help but secretly smile. He thought that old man Masuno was probably going to be shocked once again. After all, Xiao Wu was a true Beast Soul Warrior, far surpassing his own pseudo-full soul power in terms of innate abilities.

  No need to do the work of a craftsman, Tang San immediately thought of that crisp knocking sound in his mind. Village Chief Jack had said before that there would be a considerable expense for the middle-level Soul Master Academy later on, and many things at home should be replaced too, so it was naturally good to earn some more money. Moreover, this was also his father's requirement. More importantly, only in the blacksmith shop did he have the opportunity to arm himself. After personally forging the sleeve arrow, Tang San discovered that when a hidden weapon was completely made by oneself, one's familiarity with the hidden weapon would become stronger.

  "Tang San, I apologize for what happened that day. You're not still angry, are you?" Wang Saint said with a sincere expression as he walked up to Tang San's side while the latter was deep in thought.

  Looking at Wang San's silly smile, Tang San shook his head and smiled: "How could I, I've long forgotten. Brother Wang San, I'm going out for a trip, might be back tonight."

  Wang Sheng nodded and said: "You can go now. By the way, congratulations on becoming a Soul Master."

  Tang San smiled and said, "It won't take long before you break through as well."

  Walking out of Noding Academy once again, Tang San slightly felt a bit tired. After returning with Master today, he hadn't had a good rest yet and had already fought several matches against Xiao Chenyu and the others. Even though his Xuan Tian cultivation had entered the second stage, the feeling of fatigue still appeared.

  However, going to the blacksmith's shop is still something that needs to be done. At worst, he can just start working again from tomorrow. What Tang San fears most right now is that they won't accept him as a little blacksmith.

  Arriving at the blacksmith's shop, Tang San directly walked in. As soon as he entered, a wave of heat hit him in the face, which was the same for any blacksmith's shop. Of course, the temperature in his family's old and broken-down blacksmith's shop was much lower than here.

  As soon as you enter, it's a spacious hall. On the right side of the hall, all sorts of well-made ironware are hung up. It's not just farm tools here, but more armor and weapons. After all, in this world, soul masters are only a minority, so weapons are still needed. And the price of weapons is naturally much higher than that of farm tools.

  Seeing these weapons, Tang San couldn't help but think of the work he did in his previous life. At that time, the mechanical type hidden weapons manufactured by the Tang Sect could be said to be the mainstay of the entire Tang Sect's income. The Tang Sect had many rules, although they sold mechanical type hidden weapons externally, they only sold non-toxic and ordinary goods, the true secrets were impossible to sell outside. Nevertheless, the hidden weapons produced by the Tang Sect were still in short supply on the Jianghu.

  If I were to open a factory in this world to manufacture hidden weapons, what kind of income would I have?

  "Hey kid, what are you doing here? Tell your parents to come and buy things. Get out quickly, it's dangerous here." Just as Tang San was thinking, a loud voice interrupted his thoughts.

  As he looked up, a burly man with a thick beard was staring at him, his dark skin bulging with muscles, looking extremely sturdy, holding a large forged hammer in his hand, and sweat dripping from his forehead.

  "Uncle, hello. I'm here to ask if you need an apprentice." Tang's voice was clear and crisp, despite the clanging of steel in the blacksmith shop, it was heard clearly by everyone.

  Most of the blacksmiths' work came to a halt as they looked at Tang San with kind smiles. Blacksmiths were considered one of the lowest professions, and they were mostly people from poor backgrounds who relied on their strength and craftsmanship to make a living. Although they appeared rough, they were generally very kind-hearted.

  The big man who spoke earlier looked Tang San up and down a few times, saying: "Young friend, don't make trouble. Hurry up and leave. This place isn't safe. Your attire looks like that of an ironworker, but we also don't accept apprentices as small as you here. You probably can't even lift a casting hammer, haha."

  Tang San only then discovered that he was still wearing his neat school uniform. Ah, how could he work as a blacksmith dressed like this? "Sorry, uncle, I'll come back later." After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

  The blacksmith's shop was close to Noding Academy, and when Tang San returned again, he had already changed into his original clothes, with large patches on top of small ones all over his body. This getup would be perfectly fine even if he were going to a hundred-family banquet without needing any makeup.

  As soon as he entered, Tang San didn't look for anyone else and instead found that big man again. "Uncle, do you think I can be an apprentice like this?"

  Dahai saw Tang San's hundred-needle attire and was momentarily stunned. "Little friend, you're not trying to make fun of me, are you?"

  "Of course not. Uncle, it's like this. I'm a work-study student at Nuoding Academy, and I have time every afternoon. My dad is the blacksmith in our village. Since I was young, I've been learning casting with my dad. I came here to make a living."
