  Is it really the Forging Hammer Method? Tang San's eyes floated with the image of his father's lazy figure, could it be that his father was originally a master blacksmith?

  "Third Uncle, I don't know if this is the Whirlwind Hammer Method or not, but it's what Father taught me."

  Shi Sanlang let out a long sigh and burst into hearty laughter, saying: "Looks like I've picked up a treasure this time. The employment conditions earlier are cancelled, for now you'll get the same wages as everyone else, one silver soul coin per month. If business is good, we'll add a commission."

  Thus, Tang San officially became a member of Shi San's blacksmith shop and started living a fulfilling life.

  The courses in college didn't have much importance to him; the master's teachings were far more useful than the basic theories taught by college teachers.

  The master had also carefully read the book he gave him, just as he expected. The method of soul power cultivation proposed by the master was similar to the running route of internal force cultivation. Of course, this is still a theoretical design by the master, and there is still some distance from the real internal skill cultivation method, not to mention Tangmen's Xuantian Gong.

  Xiao Wu successfully obtained the title of Soul Master and became the publicly recognized Xiao Wu Jie in the academy, making her life as a working student more relaxed and carefree.

  Every morning, Tang San would go to cultivate his Purple Extreme Magic Eye as the sun rises. In the afternoon, he would attend classes normally and work at the blacksmith's shop in the evening, listening to Master's teachings. At night, he would cultivate his Xuan Tian Technique. It can be said that every day is absolutely fulfilling for him.

  At Shi San's blacksmith shop, Tang San quickly gained everyone's recognition in a short period of time. Shi San assigned him the task of refining metals, and during his free time, Tang San used some discarded scraps to refine on his own, starting his hidden weapon manufacturing career. Of course, he was only making parts at the blacksmith shop, the actual assembly would have to wait until he returned to the academy.

  Xiao Wu, relying on her own formidable strength and Xiao Lingyu's help, quickly became the acknowledged leader of all students in the Nodding First Grade Soul Master Academy. She was even more carefree than Tang San, sometimes not even attending classes. Tang San couldn't even see how she cultivated. Yet Xiao Wu's strength continued to steadily rise.

  Nodding Primary Soul Master Academy, one semester is a year's time. Throughout the process, students are not allowed to return home, but relatives can come to visit. Tang San had expected his father's arrival more than once, but until the end of the entire semester, he didn't see any sign of Tang Hao. Fortunately, his life was fulfilling enough, and he didn't have too much time to miss him.

  As for the Martial Soul Temple, not long after Tang San underwent the soul master assessment, people from the Martial Soul Temple came to the Noding Academy to find Master. Master didn't tell Tang San what they talked about, and Tang San didn't ask either. But from the extra smile on Master's face compared to usual, Tang San guessed that the relationship between the Martial Soul Temple and Master should have improved a lot.

  "Xiao Wu, tomorrow is a holiday, are you going home?" Tang San said to Xiao Wu while packing his own luggage.

  A year of study has passed and he can finally go home to see his father. This afternoon at the blacksmith's shop, he has already asked Shi San for leave. He even bought a brand new casting hammer, preparing to take it back to give to his father.

  Since Tang San joined the Iron Forge, the quality of various weapons and equipment produced by the Iron Forge has improved a notch, and business has also picked up. Now Tang San's salary is already five silver soul coins per month, equivalent to half of the Soul Master subsidy.

  Xiao Wu leaned against the bed, a hint of desolation in her eyes, which was vastly different from her usual lively and cheerful demeanor. "I won't go home, maybe I'll just stay at the academy."

  Tang San was taken aback, "It's been a year already, don't you want to go back home and take a look?"

  Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said: "Xiao San, isn't your home close to the academy? Why don't I go back with you to play? How about it? Anyway, Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu have all gone to take the intermediate soul master academy exam, no one is accompanying me to play."

  Tang San smiled slightly, after a year of getting along with her, he had a pretty good understanding of Xiao Wu. This little girl was lively and energetic, always looking like she feared the sky wouldn't fall down if she didn't hold it up herself. When she pretended to be gentle, no matter how you looked at her, she seemed like a lovely doll. But once she got angry, her title as "Little Dance Sister" wasn't just for show. In the entire academy, who knows how many students had already suffered at her hands?

  "My family is very poor, there's nothing good to treat you with."

  Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, her big eyes staring at Tang San: "You save every month's allowance very much, don't want to spend it, and are afraid of treating me?"

  Tang San smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Speaking of compensation, I suddenly remembered that someone still owes me six silver coins."

  Xiao Wu was taken aback, a hint of embarrassment flashing across her delicate face. The monthly allowance of one gold coin was not small by any means, but she had a habit of spending lavishly, buying whatever caught her eye without considering whether it was useful or not. Now that she had her own bedding, she no longer needed to share with Tang San. Having never been good at managing her finances, whenever she ran out of money, she would borrow from Tang San, and this had become a habit.

  "Isn't it just six silver coins? I'll pay you back once I get my subsidy. You still haven't said, are you willing to let me go with you or not?"

  Tang San smiled and said: "You can go if you want to. However, my dad's temper is not very good."

  Xiao Wu said with a carefree tone: "I'm so cute, your dad will definitely like me." As she spoke, she struck a gentle pose and batted her eyelashes at Tang San.

  Others might be deceived by her appearance, but Tang San had seen her volcanic eruptions too many times. He shook his head helplessly, not buying into her act at all. "No need to use your feminine charms on me, okay? It's a good thing you're only seven now; if you were any older, you might actually have some fox-like cunning."
