Given Tang Wulin's current situation, it's simply impossible for him to afford the cost of entering the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Moreover, given Tang Wulin's personality, he wouldn't accept funding from others indiscriminately.
Although Tang Wulin came from a poor background, he had a strong determination to improve himself and refused Mu Chen's offer of help several times.
Otherwise, with just a word from Mu Chen, Tang Wulin could freely enter and leave the Spirit Ascension Platform in Donghai City.
Seemingly sensing Mu Chen's confusion, Tang Wulin quickly recounted the whole story.
After hearing that it was Donghai Academy that funded Tang Wulin and the others to train at the Spirit Ascension Platform, Mu Chen suddenly understood.
"Cultivate diligently and do not let your academy down."
Mu Chen patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder encouragingly.
What Mu Chen was most worried about regarding his disciple Tang Wulin was his cultivation level.
Even though Tang Wulin was born with superhuman strength and was a good candidate to become a blacksmith.
However, because his martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, if Tang Wulin cannot improve his cultivation level, the achievements he can make on the path of a blacksmith will be extremely limited.
The fact that Donghai Academy is willing to spend a lot of money to let Tang Wulin enter the Spirit Ascension Platform for training shows that Tang Wulin does have talent.
"Teacher, what happened? Why are your wife and senior sister here too?"
After greeting Mu Chen, Tang Wulin noticed Yuan Bao'er and Mu Xi, a mother and daughter, standing behind Mu Chen.
In the crowd, Yuan Bao'er held Mu Xi tightly, her eyes red and her beautiful makeup still showing two lines of tears that had not yet dried.
"Hey……"
Mu Chen sighed, still shaken, and said, "Your senior sister was injured by a dark gold dinosaur while training in the Spirit Ascension Platform."
"As soon as I received the news, I rushed over here with your master's wife without stopping."
"Sigh~"
Upon hearing this news, Tang Wulin felt a chill run down his spine.
Tang Wulin already knew how terrifying bear-type soul beasts were from Wu Changkong.
When they first entered the Spirit Ascension Platform, Wu Changkong repeatedly warned them that if they were seriously injured by a bear-type spirit beast while acting alone, they must leave the Spirit Ascension Platform without hesitation or end their own lives.
Otherwise, they would have the privilege of witnessing firsthand how their bones were chewed up and eaten while they were fully conscious.
Mu Chen was clearly aware of this as well.
So upon learning that Mu Xi had been severely injured by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he immediately put down his work and rushed over with the top medical team in Donghai City.
When Mu Xi's mother, Yuan Bao'er, learned of this news, she almost fainted from crying.
Fortunately, as soon as they arrived at the Spirit Pagoda, they heard that Mu Xi was safe and sound, and Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to comfort Yuan Bao'er.
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was about to inquire about Mu Xi's situation when he saw Mu Xi break free from Yuan Bao'er and run towards Su Mo under everyone's gaze.
"Um... junior, you just saved me and I still don't know your name?"
Mu Xi appeared unusually reserved when she came to Su Mo. After hesitating for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage to ask Su Mo's name.
"???"
"Wu Lin, am I dreaming? Is this still the female tyrant we know?"
Looking at Mu Xi, who was speaking softly and acting affectedly in front of Su Mo, Xie Xie's eyes widened in disbelief.
If Xie Xie hadn't witnessed Mu Xi's domineering and unreasonable behavior firsthand, he would have truly been fooled by her.
"I do not know!"
Tang Wulin shook his head with a wry smile; this was the first time he had ever seen Mu Xi like this.
For some reason, Tang Wulin felt a pang of disappointment upon seeing Mu Xi in this state.
Seeing Mu Xi constantly fiddling with the ends of her hair with her fingers, trying to ease her nervousness, Mu Chen's smile instantly froze.
As someone who's been through it all, Mu Chen knew all too well that the cabbage his family had painstakingly raised was about to be eaten by a pig.
Yuan Bao'er, Mu Xi's mother, watched with great interest.
As the saying goes, "No one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a daughter better than her mother." When Yuan Bao'er saw her daughter urging Mu Chen to find Su Mo with an anxious expression, she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Chapter 23 Xie Xie: The Clown Was Actually Me
If it were just about repaying a debt of gratitude, Mu Xi would never have been so eager to urge Mu Chen to find Su Mo's whereabouts.
Not to mention that after seeing Mu Xi, Yuan Bao'er didn't see even the slightest bit of panic on Mu Xi's face.
Yuanbao knew her daughter's character all too well.
Because she was well protected by herself and Mu Chen from a young age, and was also pampered by her master craftsman Zhen Hua, Mu Xi could be said to have never experienced any setbacks from childhood to adulthood.
It was precisely because she had never experienced any setbacks that Mu Xi's mental fortitude was quite average, far inferior to that of her junior brother Tang Wulin.
But Mu Xi, who had just experienced a life-or-death crisis, did not cry out of fear when she saw him. Instead, she started to act coquettishly towards Mu Chen and asked him to help her find her savior.
It's obvious something's wrong.
Not to mention the way Mu Xi's eyes lit up when she saw Su Mo. If I hadn't pulled Mu Xi back in time, she probably would have run up to him without any restraint.
But you know what, this kid named Su Mo is actually quite good-looking.
She truly is worthy of being my Yuanbao'er's daughter!
As long as Su Mo is alright, Yuan Bao'er is happy to see things go smoothly between Mu Xi and Su Mo.
"Su Mo!"
Looking at the shy, blonde beauty in front of him, Su Mo gave his name without any hesitation.
"Su Mo, Su Mo..."
After repeating Su Mo's name to herself several times, Mu Xi suddenly slapped her head, looking as if she had just realized something. She clasped her hands together and exclaimed with delight, "Junior, I've heard of you before!"
Mu Xi had actually heard of the name Su Mo before.
Su Mo, as the student with the highest cultivation talent in the history of Donghai Academy, had already spread his name throughout the entire academy when he first entered the school. It wouldn't be difficult for Mu Xi to find out.
Mu Xi never expected that the person who saved her from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was actually Su Mo.
"that……"
Just as Mu Xi was about to invite Su Mo to her home to repay Su Mo for saving her life, a large figure blocked her way.
Looking at Mu Chen blocking her way, Mu Xi said irritably, "Dad, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm chatting with my junior?"
"Get out of the way right now!"
Faced with Mu Xi's orders, Mu Chen did not answer but stared at Su Mo and said with a smile, "So it was you who killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and saved Xiao Xi, right? As expected, heroes emerge from among the young."
"I am Mu Chen, the president of the Donghai City Forging Masters Association. This is my business card. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to contact me."
After saying that, Mu Chen handed his business card, made of an unknown silver-white metal, to Su Mo.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Seeing that her father was so eager to distance himself from Su Mo, Mu Xi panicked and immediately tried to pull Mu Chen away.
Before Mu Xi could make a move, Yuan Bao'er, who had been watching the drama unfold, walked gracefully to Mu Xi's side and whispered a few words in Mu Xi's ear.
Upon hearing her mother's words, Mu Xi's fair face flushed bright red, and she quickly waved her hands, denying it outright, "No, no... that's not true!"
Seeing her daughter's shy expression after her little secret was exposed, unable to even speak properly, Yuanbao smiled like an aunt.
To reiterate, she doesn't object to Mu Xi and Su Mo being together, but only if Su Mo is completely free of problems.
Yuan Bao'er and Mu Chen had encountered people like Su Mo who had done them great favors before.
As a renowned trio in the forging world, Yuan Bao'er and Mu Chen encountered people who tried to get close to them in various ways when they were still working at the Mingdu Forging Masters Association.
Most of these people who tried to get close to him and establish a relationship with him came from powerful and well-known forces in the Douluo Continent. Their purpose in getting close to him and Mu Chen was very simple: they hoped to establish a relationship with Zhen Hua, the contemporary master craftsman, through him and his wife.
As the only entity in the world capable of creating four-word battle armor, Zhenhua is a highly sought-after asset in the eyes of various major powers.
However, due to the existence of the Federation and the Blacksmith Association, no one dared to openly attack Zhenhua, but some people were still unwilling to give up and tried to get in touch with Zhenhua through themselves and their husbands.
When the couple brought Xiao Muxi to Donghai City, a small place far from the center of the mainland, wasn't it to tell those people that they didn't want to interfere in the affairs of the mainland?
Seeing the business card Mu Chen handed over, Su Mo accepted it without any hesitation.
Seeing that Su Mo accepted his business card without hesitation, Mu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
If Su Mo hadn't accepted his business card, this situation would have been much more complicated.
If Su Mo were determined to pursue a relationship with him in public, given that his precious daughter was clearly interested, Mu Chen would have no way to refuse.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Su Mo, Mu Chen left the Spirit Pagoda with Mu Xi and Yuan Bao'er.
"You really saved Mu Xi from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?"
As soon as Mu Chen and his group left, Gu Yue, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but ask a question.
Although Mu Chen's attitude suggests that this is mostly true, Gu Yue still finds it hard to believe.
As Leng Yaozhu's disciple, Gu Yue's understanding of the Spirit Ascension Platform far surpasses that of Tang Wulin and the others.
Once a dominant-level spirit beast like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear appears on the primary Spirit Ascension Platform, it essentially becomes the guardian of that platform.
Moreover, as the ruler of all soul beasts, Gu Yue knew the formidable strength of the Hundred-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear better than anyone else present.
Even if the five of them joined forces, they would have no chance of escaping the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
It's truly unbelievable that Su Mo was able to escape the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's hunt with the heavily injured Mu Xi.
Before Su Mo could respond, Wang Ling, who had been watching the drama unfold, interjected, "Young lady, you seem to have underestimated your classmate's abilities."
"Your classmate not only saved Miss Mu Xi, but also killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a hundred years of cultivation before leaving the Spirit Ascension Platform."
Hearing Wang Ling speak up for him, Su Mo glanced at Wang Ling in surprise.
