Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 129 Winning streak
With a deep dragon roar, golden light flowed through Tang Wulin's forging hammer and into the titanium crystal, gradually turning the crystal a pure gold color.

Finally, a dazzling golden light rose from the metal.

The light emanating from the titanium crystal was nearly seven feet high, and at the very top, a dragon shape was faintly visible.

After He Xiaopeng forged the titanium crystal, its volume shrank by 20%, and all the messy metal lines inside were condensed together, making the whole piece look like a unified whole.

The titanium crystal in front of Tang Wulin had transformed into a sphere, shrinking in size by a full third. All the internal metallic lines had disappeared, making it resemble a perfect crystal.

He Xiaopeng clenched his fists with a solemn expression, his nails digging deep into his flesh. After waiting for the referee to announce the result, he turned and walked away.

"In the first match, Tang Wulin from Class 1, Grade 1 wins." Shen Yi announced the result quite calmly, a result that was entirely within Shen Yi's expectations.

On the other side, Tang Wulin was still immersed in that wonderful feeling. He had performed beyond his usual level today, and if he continued forging, he was quite confident that he could create a piece of spirit-forged metal. However, the competition was still in progress, which made him hesitate for a moment.

"You brat! Don't hesitate, keep forging. You've only just succeeded in spirit forging a few days ago, so try to stay at this level." Feng Wuyu's voice rang silently in Tang Wulin's ear.

Tang Wulin also came to his senses. This was a rare opportunity, and improving himself was indeed the most important thing.

Without further hesitation, he channeled his inner energy and brought the forging hammer in his hand down fiercely.

After being refined and enhanced, the essence of the metal has undergone a significant transformation. He no longer needs to be as careful as before, fearing that he might accidentally destroy the titanium crystal.

Therefore, his movements became wild, and with each hammer blow, he began his spirit forging under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Everyone else, please leave first and let Tang Wulin finish forging completely." Shen Yi also stepped forward to maintain order.

With each hammer blow, the spiritual energy within the titanium crystal grew increasingly concentrated. When the final hammer fell, the surface of the titanium crystal suddenly cracked open, and a life force burst forth, illuminating all directions.

Spirit Forging Complete!

The students in the arena were filled with shock. To be able to complete Spirit Forging in the first year was to be considered a once-in-a-century genius.

There are only a handful of students in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard who are capable of Spirit Forging.

"It doesn't seem that powerful!"

Yuan Enhui murmured softly.

She had watched Lin Xingyu forge before, and he completed the spirit forging with ease, even perfectly fusing two pieces of spirit forging metal into one. At the time, she thought he must be unprecedented.

Although it was shocking, the shock wasn't intense. But now it seemed like just a "mere spirit forging," and everyone in the arena was utterly astonished.

She felt it was just a little lacking, nothing special.

Why didn't he play? It's unclear whether it was to give his teammates a better chance to perform or to deliberately hide his own shortcomings. After all, she understood the saying, "The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind."

Being one step ahead is genius; being ten steps ahead is madness.

While pondering Lin Xingyu's secret, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

……

As Tang Wulin slowly walked down, Lin Xingyu turned to look at Gu Yue.

"Next up is the mecha manufacturing exchange competition. Gu Yue, you're up there. Remember to win spectacularly."

Gu Yue nodded slightly. Apart from encountering this particular argument, she was quite confident.

Watching Gu Yue slowly walk onto the arena, Wu Changkong nodded almost imperceptibly. Lin Xingyu was too strong, and his development was also quite comprehensive.

This made Wu Changkong a little worried that Lin Xingyu might become too selfish in the future. But now that he has shared many honors with his classmates, he still has a lot of leadership qualities.

In the future, he should be able to gather a group of people around him, so that he won't be easily tricked by others.

Unless you can single-handedly dominate the world, there are many things you cannot do even if you are a level 99 Limit Douluo.

As Shen Yi's commentary began, Gu Yue and Bai Hanying, a second-year student, simultaneously entered creative mode. A quarter of an hour later, the judges on the competition stage reviewed each entry.

Finally, Cai Yue'er gave her evaluation: "Bai Hanying's design drawings are quite comprehensive. Not only are they highly designed, but they are also designed for twin martial souls. Among the level four design drawings, their practicality and theoretical application are quite good."

"Gu Yue's design is quite good in terms of theory and practicality. The only difference from the previous one is that it is not a design blueprint for twin martial souls."

Bai Hanying had just smiled slightly, and before she could even feel happy, Cai Yue'er continued.

"But Gu Yue's design drawings are a level 5 design drawings, and the evaluation I'm referring to is also level 5."

Bai Hanying's smile froze instantly, and she looked at the referee's table with a hint of resentment. This is too much!

The surrounding students watching immediately erupted in an uproar, "Level 5? Another Level 5! Are all the freshmen this talented these days? Or are we just getting old?"

The second-year students are almost completely demoralized. You should know that many of them haven't even reached the fourth level of secondary profession. Now, there are already two fifth-level professionals among the first-year students who are on average three years younger than them.

How are they supposed to compete? They might as well just surrender and admit defeat.

Gu Yue became a level 5 professional quite early. At least Lin Xingyu didn't know when she broke through. Anyway, whenever the group needed her, she would bring out the corresponding secondary professional level.

It's appalling that she still often refers to herself as a Level 4 professional.

"Pretty!"

Lin Xingyu praised her while giving Gu Yue a thumbs up.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Gu Yue's lips. Whether it was praise or not depended on who was praising him. At the very least, this person, who was rarely able to surpass him, left a deep impression on Gu Yue.

In any case, there aren't many people who can surpass you.

The drawings she just designed were for Xu Xiaoyan; Tang Wulin had already given them to him long ago, so there was no need to mention hers.

In the third match, Ye Xinglan ate two of Xu Lizhi's recovery meat buns in advance, and then walked aggressively towards the ring.

Ye Xinglan's talent is not bad, or rather, her talent is top-notch.

Having come to Shrek Academy from a young age, they enjoy the dual support of their family and the academy. For these disciples who have entered the inner academy from childhood, Shrek Academy truly treats them as its own, providing them with excellent benefits and treatment.

Students in Shrek Academy's outer court are called students, while those in the inner court are called disciples.

This shows the difference in treatment between the two; only after entering the inner courtyard are you truly considered one of us.

Ye Xinglan is thirteen and a half years old now, and her soul power is still a bit short of level forty. With her talent and resources, this is already quite slow.

After all, this era is not like the ancient times, where Soul Masters only needed to cultivate Soul Power. Soul Masters also need to learn various kinds of knowledge to hone their physical and mental strength.

In this respect, the spirit is both a disadvantage and an advantage. It grants the spirit master better spirit skills and stronger spiritual power, but it also requires the spirit master to spend a lot of time honing the basics.

She spent a lot of time practicing swordsmanship and learning secondary professions. Swordsmanship goes without saying, but if it weren't for the burden of her soul power, she would have been a respectable level 5 mecha engineer.

After eating two large recovery meat buns to make up for her lack of soul power, she will set out as a level 5 mecha maker!
The outcome was predictable, given that they were facing a Level 4 mecha engineer sent by the second-year students.

They were simply utterly humiliated.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the entire second grade became quite oppressive, and even the noise and chatter disappeared completely.

Being thrashed three times in a row is really embarrassing.

As seniors with an average age three years older, they had planned to give these younger generations some guidance from their own experience.

Nowadays, most people have become like ostriches, hoping not to attract attention.

They've all become the old generation, washed ashore and left to die.
