Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 264 Seeking Heavenly Forging, Assassination is Coming, Conspiracy!

Shrek Academy.

Inside the Blacksmith's Hall.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang out continuously, crisp and muffled, as if playing a smooth melody.

When the hammering stopped abruptly, a piece of scorching, iridescent metal appeared on the forging table, also outlined with wondrous soul-guiding core arrays, exuding a profound aura.

Judging from its shape, it is indeed the left armor plate of a battle suit.

"Yuan En, give it a try." Jiang Xiu put down the hammer, looking at his masterpiece with a hint of satisfaction.

Now, all that's missing for Yuanen Yehui's full battle armor is the chest armor.

"Okay." Yuan Enhui nodded slightly, a hint of excitement appearing in her dark red eyes. She stretched out her hand and slowly channeled her soul power into her battle armor.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, the soul guidance core array on the battle armor lit up, black light spread out, and a rich evil aura emanated, nimbly adorning Yuanen Yehui's arm.

When Yuanen Yehui switched to the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, a thick yellow light emanated from the metal, and a powerful earth-attribute aura spread outwards.

"How is it?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.

“Very good.” Yuan Enhui pursed her red lips and nodded emphatically.

“Once the last part is forged, Yuanen, your battle armor will be complete,” Jiang Xiu said with a slight smile.

"Hmm." Yuan Enhui stroked the battle armor with her delicate hand, then looked up at Jiang Xiu with determination: "Jiang classmate, I will continue to help you forge metals until you pay off your debts."

Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked with a smile, "After paying off the debt, will you continue to follow me in forging, Yuan En?"

"Ah? I...I don't know either..." Upon hearing this, Yuan Enhui's pretty face paused slightly, and she said hesitantly.

She still needs to save her father and defeat her evil grandfather; she can't waste any time.

However, forging metal with Jiang Xiu seemed to earn more than doing missions at Shrek Academy. Besides, she owed Jiang Xiu so many favors that she didn't know how to repay them, so continuing to follow Jiang Xiu was a good idea...

In fact, Jiang Xiu helped her forge battle armor and obtained a precious second soul spirit for her. Ever since returning from the Spirit Pagoda, she has had a long-lost feeling of being surrounded by warmth.

That was the first time she had felt this way about a stranger since her mother's death...

But she dared not touch this warmth rashly. She had been walking alone in this world for too long, and suddenly being illuminated by the sun made her feel somewhat lost. She wanted to touch it, but she was also afraid that it would disappear suddenly like her mother.

"Alright, there's plenty of time in the future, enough for you to make a decision, Yuanen. I was just asking casually, don't take it to heart," Jiang Xiu said, seeing Yuanen Yehui's conflicted expression.

He knew that Yuan En Ye Hui was unaware that her father had been released, but he couldn't let Yuan En Ye Hui find out suddenly; he had to find a suitable opportunity.

His plan to connect with the demon plane must proceed slowly before Yuanen Yehui breaks through to the Soul King realm.

"Mmm." Yuan Enhui breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the situation.

If Jiang Xiu insists on his way, then she will have no choice but to...stubbornly agree...

However, she was still very happy with the time Jiang Xiu gave her to choose.

"Jiang, I might have to excuse myself for the next few days and won't be able to come to the forging room. The academy is selecting students to go to the Star Luo Empire for a competition, and I'd like to give it a try too," Yuan Enhui said apologetically.

"Then go for it." Jiang Xiu had no objection to this, but still couldn't help but tease, "Yuan En, do you also want to broaden your horizons? Go and see some geniuses?"

“No, there are rewards if you win the championship,” Yuan Enhui shook his head slightly and counted, “One, ten, hundred... a lot of Federal Coins.”

Seeing Yuan Enhui's unusually serious expression, Jiang Xiu smiled. As expected of someone who is thrifty and good at managing a household.

"When we get back from winning the championship, I'll treat you to dinner, Jiang. We'll go to the most expensive restaurant in Shrek City, it's on me!" After calculating the reward, Yuanen Yehui waved her hand generously and said, "We'll eat at the most expensive one!"

"Yuan En, you are so kind and righteous!" Jiang Xiu chuckled.

"Huh? By the way, Jiang, aren't you participating in the selection?" Suddenly, Yuan Enhui seemed to have thought of something and looked slightly puzzled.

"You'll find out then," Jiang Xiu said meaningfully, then asked, "Are there any competitors in this selection?"

Now, some minor things have deviated from the overall development, such as the selection of people to go to the Star Luo Empire.

“Yes, for example, the Netherworld White Tiger Wu Siduo, the Holy Angel Yue Zhengyu, the Blue Silver Tang Wulin, the Elemental Envoy Gu Yue, and the Star God Sword Ye Xinglan…” Yuan En Ye Hui said softly.

“Wu Siduo…” Upon hearing one of the names, Jiang Xiu’s eyes suddenly flashed.

In his memory, this Wu Siduo was extremely special because she possessed twin martial souls, and these two martial souls were the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Spirit Cat, respectively.

It's important to know that the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Spirit Cat are the inherited martial souls of the White Tiger Dai family and the Spirit Cat Zhu family, respectively, and there is even a martial soul fusion skill between these two martial souls.

He remembered that Wu Siduo could also fuse her own martial soul through these two martial souls, transforming into the Netherworld White Tiger.

It should be noted that it is very difficult for ordinary twin martial soul masters to use two martial souls at the same time.

"Well then, Yuan En, good luck." After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiu encouraged him softly.

“Jiang, you can also participate. After all, you can meet many geniuses,” Yuan Enhui suggested.

"No need for that. I've met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius," Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

"Hmm." Yuanen Yehui snorted softly, not refuting, because she was well aware of Jiang Xiu's strength. "If Jiang Xiu becomes a strong person in the future, he should be able to beat that person up..." Yuanen Yehui couldn't help but think, comparing Jiang Xiu to her grandfather.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Enhui prepared to leave.

"Such a peaceful life is truly wonderful. I hope it can continue like this in the future." Gently closing the door, Yuan Enhui's cool and beautiful face revealed a genuine smile.

Simple and ordinary, that's really good.

As the door closed, the Ant King's voice rang in Jiang Xiu's ears.

"My lord, what's the secret to Heavenly Forging? I desperately want to break through..."

"Don't worry, I'll go find my master tomorrow," Jiang Xiu said, rubbing his temples to comfort him.

Sometimes, it's not good when your subordinate legion commanders are too ambitious.

"My lord, I feel I could also learn the profession of mecha repair. Just being a designer seems too easy to me." At this moment, the voice of the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor also rang out.

"Six Claws, that's going too far! You're engaging in cutthroat competition!" the Ant King said, somewhat exasperated.

"If you're bad at cooking, practice more." The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor retorted directly.

"Six Claws, you just wait. I'll show you in person later."

Listening to the two sparring, Jiang Xiu looked at the sunset outside the window, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

But the next moment, Jiang Xiu seemed to remember something and instructed Ba Huang in the shadows, "Ba Huang, there may be an attack tomorrow, so be careful."

Tomorrow is the day for the Star Luo Empire Blacksmith Association and the Federal Blacksmith Association to exchange ideas, and a Super Douluo-level evil soul master has already set his sights on his teacher, Zhen Hua.

"Rest assured, my lord, if anyone dares to invade, I will surely make them suffer a crushing defeat," Emperor Ba replied solemnly, a hint of excitement in his voice.

Now, besides protecting Jiang Xiu's safety, his only hope is that devouring the martial soul essence of that inferior creature will pique his interest.

"Let's go, let's get ready to welcome tomorrow's guests."

Jiang Xiu's gaze deepened slightly as he slowly stood up.

……

Spirit Transferring Tower.

Inside the tower owner's office.

“Zhang Geyang, if Jiang Xiu goes to the Star Luo Continent, I believe you should know what to do.”

Qian Gu Dongfeng held the communication soul guide device and spoke in a deep voice, enunciating each word clearly.

Meanwhile, at a branch of the Spirit Pagoda thousands of miles away, a man dressed in a magnificent robe was looking out the window at the Star Luo Imperial Palace not far away.

"Don't worry, he's just a Soul King brat. This Tower Master can destroy him as easily as destroying an ant. There are nine ways to make him disappear without a trace." A hint of contempt flashed in Zhang Geyang's deep blue eyes as he slowly replied.

"This is my territory."

"Very good, I, the Tower Master, believe in your strength." Qian Gu Dongfeng nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Geyang's ability to stop Leng Yaozhu from planting people in the Star Luo Continent is enough to prove his strength.

Moreover, if Jiang Xiu were to go to the Star Luo Empire, he would definitely be with Shrek Academy, and he had already found out that the teacher leading the Shrek Academy team this time was none other than Cai Yue'er.

In his view, this was a good thing, because looking at several things, with Cai Yue'er around, something unexpected was bound to happen, which could be considered a blow to his teammates.

"If there are no other instructions, I'll go and attend to other matters," Zhang Geyang said, tapping the table.

"Hmm." Qian Gu Dong Feng was the first to hang up the communication device.

"Jiang Xiu, let's see where you run this time!"

Qian Gu Dong Feng snorted coldly. Faced with the impregnable Xingluo Empire, he did not believe that Jiang Xiu could return.

Unless he can deal with Zhang Geyang.

But how is this possible?

Inside Zhang Geyang's office, after hanging up the communication device, Zhang Geyang didn't pay much attention to Jiang Xiu, who was mentioned by Qian Gu Dongfeng.

Instead, he stretched out his palm and summoned a divine plant that crackled with lightning and faintly glowed with a purple-gold light.

"Thunder, quickly help this tower master to temper his body and cultivate." Zhang Geyang said to the plant, which was a rare Thunder Hell Vine.

"Crackling."

With a flash of lightning, Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng glanced at him, then returned to his spirit ring without any interest.

I'm not feeling well today, let's do it another day.

"Damn it!" Zhang Geyang cursed angrily, feeling like an incompetent husband in the face of Lei Mingyan Yuteng.

He even sensed that Lei Mingyan Yuteng was considering changing his mind!
