Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 142 Preparations for Alchemy
Seeing the silence that had fallen over the scene, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but look around.

His gaze swept across the audience, and wherever he looked, not a single person dared to meet his eyes.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Cai Yue'er, who was standing not far away.

"Dean Cai, it's time to announce the results of the competition."

Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Cai Yue'er finally came to her senses, and her gaze towards Lin Xingyu was quite complicated.

He glanced around at the surrounding arena environment again.

Deep pits appeared one after another on the arena where Lin Xingyu had passed before.

Each pit is at least two meters in diameter, with varying depths. Keep in mind that the arena here is made of special materials and has been repeatedly reinforced with soul-guiding arrays.

The soul-guided shield surrounding the arena experienced violent fluctuations, and even cracks appeared one after another.

Previously, when Lin Xingyu attacked a third-grade student.

Cai Yue'er took the third-year students away before Lin Xingyu's attack arrived.

However, Lin Xingyu, in his explosive state, had no way to hold back, and his final few sword strikes were entirely launched using sword energy.

After the sword energy missed its target, it struck the soul-guiding shield directly, creating cracks in the shield.

Keep in mind that the soul-guided shield surrounding the arena is level eight!

It can withstand a full-force attack from a Contra!
But now a large number of cracks have appeared.

The seven sword strikes that Lin Xingyu just unleashed were each equivalent to a full-force attack from a top-tier Soul Saint.

If one's cultivation level is below Soul Saint, even if one is a Soul Emperor wearing a two-word battle armor, the outcome of a head-on confrontation would likely not be good.

They will likely end up either dead or seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Cai Yue'er couldn't help but be moved.

"The first and second grades won the exchange match!"

As Cai Yue'er announced the results of the competition, the first and second graders erupted in enthusiastic cheers after a brief silence.

"hiss!!"

Zhuoshi looked at the two whiskers on his hand with a pained expression.

I accidentally plucked out two of my hairs.

"Mu Ye has indeed taken on a good disciple. The Body Sect will likely undergo significant changes in the future, and he will no longer cling to outdated traditions."

Zhuoshi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

There are only a handful of top-level officials on the mainland. Even if their social lives are limited, there will still be some interaction among them.

It's perfectly normal for Makino to have some interaction with them, but their relationship isn't very deep.

"I'm more interested in his martial spirit. I wonder if it's because of his martial spirit, but his battle armor is completely integrated with his martial spirit."

"Although metals can be incorporated into martial souls starting with spirit alloys, this kind of battle armor is still quite peculiar. I wonder how he did it."

Feng Wuyu stared at Lin Xingyu with a gleam in his eyes, his gaze intensely fervent.

"Don't think about it anymore. Although this little guy is young, he has already developed his own aura and his path is largely set. As long as he cultivates step by step, he may be much stronger than you in the future."

Zhuoshi couldn't help but mock.

Ya Li quietly watched Lin Xingyu on the stage, her gaze somewhat absent, as if she was recalling something.

Suddenly another figure appeared before them, equally spirited and unparalleled.

'Ah, my childhood...' Yali sighed silently.

……

After this exchange match, Lin Xingyu became a celebrity in the School of Foreign Languages.

Wherever he goes, people greet him.

It can be said that in a single day, everyone in the world knew him.

Meanwhile, the first and second-year students who participated in the competition also became extremely popular throughout the entire School of Foreign Languages.

Regardless of their achievements in the competition, the spirit-infused battle armor components are undeniably genuine.

Keep in mind that even third-grade students are still making battle armor with ordinary metals, while only fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students can afford to make battle armor with spirit metals.

Both their metal sources and manufacturing techniques have attracted considerable attention.

Even Lin Xingyu received many invitations from senior students, but most of these invitations were not intended for Lin Xingyu to join them.

I just wanted to get closer to a future powerhouse and build a good relationship.

They all declined the invitations.

"Squad leader! Please wait a moment!"

Lin Xingyu had just finished class and was planning to find out what to do for lunch.

Hearing someone call his name, he instinctively turned around and saw a tall girl with long blue hair walking over quickly.

Who is this in my class again?

After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't remember who the other person was. Well, I guess I'm not a qualified class monitor.

He hasn't even memorized all the names in his class yet, making him arguably one of the most irresponsible class monitors at Shrek Academy.

"Excuse me, what's up?"

"No, no, it's something the class monitor asked me to give you." She handed a paper letter to Lin Xingyu.

After Lin Xingyu took the envelope, he ran away as fast as he could.

Seeing this, Lin Xingyu's lips twitched slightly.

A quick glance at the envelope gave me a pretty good idea of ​​what was inside.

Since the competition ended, people have been handing me all sorts of things every day.

However, most of them were found in one's own desk or among one's belongings.

This is the first time I've ever had something handed directly to me.

"Captain Xingyu, why don't you open it and see what's inside? Maybe it really is some important information!"

Xu Xiaoyan wrinkled her nose and quietly leaned closer to say something.

"No need, you can see her if you want. I don't even remember who she is very clearly."

Lin Xingyu handed the letter in his hand to Xu Xiaoyan.

"I'm not going to watch it!"

Xu Xiaoyan said with a hint of pride, but her shifty eyes betrayed her.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but chuckle, and a flame ignited in his hand, turning it into ashes.

A girl not far away watched Lin Xingyu's actions and was immediately disappointed, so she couldn't help but stomp her foot.

Although I know the chances are slim, there are things that might be useless to do, but if I don't do them, I'll definitely regret it.

After all, the class monitor is currently single; what if something happens?

Xie Xie, who witnessed the scene, couldn't help but say to Tang Wulin.

"Damn it! Xingyu is such a winner in life, his success is enviable."

"We both participated in the exchange competition, so why did you only send the love letter to him?"

Tang Wulin was speechless for a moment, and looked at Xie Xie beside him.

"How much of a role did you play in the ring, and how old are you? Why are you always thinking about such nonsense?"

Xie Xie immediately retorted, "What's wrong with just thinking about it? Is it illegal to fantasize a little? And what right do you have to criticize me? Back then, you were quite hung up on that Senior Ouyang."

“How old were you back then? Were you even ten? I still have photos of you running together.”

Tang Wulin's face immediately turned red, just like when he unleashed the Golden Dragon's Roar. He ignored Xie Xie completely, saying things like "You don't understand" and "We're just friends."

They strode quickly towards the distance, and Xie Xie chuckled and followed. Gu Yue rolled her eyes at their expressions and silently walked alongside Xu Xiaoyan.

……

Time flew by in a tense yet relaxed atmosphere.

That day, Lin Xingyu received a message, took a close look at it, and thought about his upcoming schedule.

They went straight to the office in the foreign language department's classroom and found Wu Changkong sitting there working overtime.

"Teacher Wu, I need to ask for a leave of absence for a while."

After arriving here, Lin Xingyu stated his purpose directly.

Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow, looked into Lin Xingyu's eyes and asked, "What is it? Under normal circumstances, students are not allowed to leave the school without permission."

Wu Changkong believed he had a fairly good understanding of his student.

Despite his exceptional talent, he was very disciplined and never arrogant. He always knew exactly what he should and shouldn't do.

He appeared very mature, but lacked a bit of youthful spirit. However, he impressed everyone on the ring this time.

He was just a young man, only he was hiding it well.

He wouldn't ask for leave unless something really happened.

"As you should know, I have joined the Body Sect, and there are some matters within the sect that require my presence."

Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Wu Changkong's expression turned somewhat grave.

"You are still young. The most important thing is to focus on your cultivation. You shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the sect."

"Teacher Wu, you've misunderstood. My teacher has something to teach me, and this is the best time for my cultivation level," Lin Xingyu explained.

Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Wu Changkong nodded and said calmly.

"How long of leave do you need this time?"

"It won't take long. If it goes quickly, it will take about a month and a half, and if it goes slowly, it may take two months."

Upon hearing Lin Xingyu's words, Wu Changkong couldn't help but twitch his lips. What did he mean by "one and a half months if it's fast, two months if it's slow"?

Are you asking for leave or planning to run away?

"Final exams are in two months, that's a bit too long."

"I'll definitely be back before my final exams. I won't make things difficult for you. I've already covered most of the course material at school," Lin Xingyu explained.

After much haggling in Wu Changkong's office, Wu Changkong finally had no choice but to approve the leave for Lin Xingyu.

"You must be back within two months. That's when your final exams come around, so don't fail me."

"no problem!"

Lin Xingyu agreed without hesitation.

I'll agree to whatever your conditions are, and whether I come back or not depends on whether I have time!

"Be careful on the road."

Lin Xingyu, who had just stepped out of Wu Changkong's office, couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he realized that he was now a celebrity in Shrek City to some extent.

Especially after he achieved that incredible feat in the ring.

……

The next day, Lin Xingyu left the gates of Shrek Academy.

Instead of going to the Soul Guidance Train Station, he went directly to the branch of the Blacksmith Association.

As soon as Lin Xingyu arrived at the entrance of the Forging Masters Association branch by taxi, he saw a chubby figure waiting there.

"teacher!"

Lin Xingyu stepped forward and greeted him.

Standing there was Makino.

"Let's go, I'll fly you there. Everything you asked for is ready and is in Tiandou City."

"it is good."

After the two left Shrek City.

Mu Ye took Lin Xingyu into the air, even though Lin Xingyu could fly on his own thanks to his soul tool.

But it was nowhere near as effortless and carefree as Makino's, nor as fast.

"Teacher, why did you come to pick me up in person?"

Lin Xingyu asked with some curiosity.

"Nonsense, you should know when to stop. You had your fun, but you're now infamous. You're probably known to all sorts of powerful groups now."

Makino said irritably.

"With your abilities, you'd be finished if you encountered even one evil spirit master."

"With what I have, it would take a Title Douluo-level evil soul master to do this, and there aren't many Title Douluo-level evil soul masters."

"in case."

Neither of them spoke again, and half an hour later they arrived at Tiandou City.

Instead of going to the Blacksmiths' Association, the two went directly to Zhenhua's home.

We arrived at Zhenhua's home.

"Xingyu, we've collected almost everything you wanted."

Upon seeing the two arrive, Zhenhua took out a storage soul tool and handed it directly to Lin Xingyu.

As Lin Xingyu's strength continued to grow, ordinary pills could no longer provide much assistance in improving his own life level.

So he revealed his idea of ​​refining more powerful pills to his two teachers.

The three parties were perfectly in sync.

Since obtaining some of the pill inheritance written by Lin Xingyu, Zhenhua and Muye have been studying it for a period of time.

After all, one of them is quite experienced in the art of Qi and blood, while the other has sufficient resources.

The two of them studied for a long time and produced some low-grade pills.

Now that Lin Xingyu wants some higher-grade pills, both of them have expressed their support, as neither of them is short of money.

One will naturally try one's best to meet the cultivation needs of one's own disciples.

"Let's start now."

Lin Xingyu took out the soul tool, glanced at the contents, and said somewhat impatiently.

"No rush, the stuff will be yours sooner or later. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to Tiandou City, let me see how much you've improved over this period."

Zhenhua said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lin Xingyu was no longer in a hurry.

I spent the whole morning at Zhenhua's home listening to him share his forging insights.

At noon, I enjoyed another delicious meal prepared by Muye.

In the afternoon, I listened to two teachers explain the cultivation methods.

My mindset gradually calmed down.

The next day, upon arriving at the alchemy room specially built by Zhenhua, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but reach out and touch a pill furnace placed in front of him.

He couldn't help but be secretly amazed; this alchemy furnace must be a level eight peak soul tool.

This rare and unusual soul tool was clearly made to order.
