Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 33 The Current State of the Demons

"The situation on the mainland has really changed."

Xu Jiawei held the intelligence that had just been sent to him in his hand. He subconsciously turned his face to the side, only to find that there was no one beside him.

"I almost forgot, Jiu Jiu is still at Shrek Academy."

Xu Jiawei chuckled. He usually discussed important matters with his intelligent younger sister first, but this time he would have to consult with the ministers below first.

"I just wonder how many people will have ulterior motives then."

Xu Jiawei's voice revealed a hint of helplessness. The other party was a god, and even if he was a mortal emperor, he still could not affect the other party in the slightest.

"Someone, convene a court assembly."

Xu Jiawei regained his composure and transformed back into the majestic and supreme Emperor of Xingluo.

He casually placed a piece of paper on the table. It contained information written by Xu Jiujiu: "Big brother, the sea god is suspected to have descended to earth. Survival is the most important thing."

……

"Little Bear, you can't do anything by brute force alone. When it comes to forging weapons, the key is forging. What can you forge if you just forge iron?"

Lu Wu felt somewhat helpless looking at Xiong Jun, who was grinning foolishly in front of him. Xiong Jun listened to him, but sometimes he would go off-topic.

"Master Lu, I was just thinking that if the materials are better, it will be easier to inscribe the runes and the effect will be better."

Xiong Jun scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

Lu Wu didn't know what to say. Regardless of whether one was a great supernatural being or not, obtaining materials for refining weapons was always an insurmountable hurdle.

Don't say that a master craftsman is one who forges the best artifacts with the worst materials. That's only done when there's no other way to improve or no materials available.

Good materials can make the forging process twice as efficient and make it easier for the forged magic weapon to break through its original level. Otherwise, why would everyone be chasing after rare materials? If you had to choose between Breath Soil and roadside weeds as materials, a normal person would choose the former.

So, in a sense, Xiong Jun wasn't wrong. Once you've mastered the basics of weapon crafting, what's wrong with pursuing good materials?

"The key point is that this thing isn't a customized magic weapon. Why make it so complicated when you're making a standard magic weapon?"

Xiong Jun and the others are refining array pillars. The reason they are not array flags is that they do not yet have such a high level of weapon refining skills. Compared to the cloth of flags, big and hard sticks are more useful.

"I don't quite understand these things yet, so could you teach me again, Master Lu?"

Xiong Jun grinned, finally revealing his purpose.

"Let's forget about it. I have other things to do. I'll discuss it with Gu Yuena and the others myself."

On the other side, Gu Yuena and the other demons were already discussing how to refine the array pillars. Lu Wu had already told them that the quantity of these pillars was related to how much of the Star Dou Great Forest would remain when humans cleansed the land. If they wanted to keep the Star Dou Great Forest in its original state, they should refine more.

This little bit of work can be considered as homework for tutoring them. If they do well, they will be rewarded; if they don't do well, let the humans punish them. After all, this is their home where they have lived for countless years.

Demon script and runes are considered basic subjects. As for laws and such, Lu Wu doesn't talk about them too much. He only occasionally talks about laws as a reward for the demons.

For them, weapon crafting is now a compulsory course, which is a good opportunity to hone their ability to use runes, and practice makes perfect.

Alchemy, formations, talisman making, and so on are considered elective courses, which different demons choose according to their own preferences.

Gu Yuena studied formations, and as the leader of her clan, she was very interested in this method that could help unify the clan's power.

The Demon King and Bi Ji are both studying alchemy. One has already begun to try to generate fire from wood, while the other is focusing on the path of life. The two are quite well-suited for each other.

Di Tian also learned the art of talisman making from demon spirits. Di Tian was very interested in this method of storing large quantities and then unleashing them all at once. He set a small goal: to make 100 million talismans. With his incredibly long lifespan, he didn't care about time; he only thought about the day he could blow up the God Realm all at once.

As for the demon spirit, all its fear stemmed from insufficient firepower. Its physical body was weak, not even comparable to an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast. It planned to prepare 100,000 predictive defensive talismans, 100,000 acceleration talismans, and 100,000 attack talismans at any time, so that one day no one would dare to attack it.

Xiong Jun and Chi Wang focused on refining weapons. Xiong Jun had tried the "magic weapon" that Lu Wu gave him and found it particularly convenient to use for hitting people. Moreover, after hearing Lu Wu say that various magic weapons have various functions, he was very interested. Chi Wang's idea was that since they were all playing with fire anyway, they might as well find something familiar to play with and keep doing it. He was too lazy to change.

As for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she learned divination from Lu Wu. It was a lucky beast with good fortune, so the backlash it would suffer in Douluo Continent would be less. Moreover, it had a pure heart, so learning this skill was like divine assistance.

Furthermore, since Lu Wu was constantly lying on top of her, and influenced by the Daoist aura emanating from him, her learning progress was faster than Lu Wu had imagined.

Then there's Murasaki, who isn't interested in these methods. In her words, learning these miscellaneous skills is less interesting than fighting.

Lu Wu's little class also teaches some minor spells. After learning them, Zi Ji would squat aside and figure them out on her own. If she didn't understand something, she would ask Lu Wu. After learning, she would go to the core area to find beasts to fight. There are still quite a few 100,000-year-old beast kings in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Zi Ji would pick five or six at a time, and recently she had upgraded to ten at a time. The beast kings in the Star Dou Great Forest had suffered greatly and had come to Gu Yue Na to complain, but they were not as familiar with the beasts as Zi Ji. Gu Yue Na gave a symbolic warning and then ignored it.

Fortunately, there was the gentle and kind Brigitte. Every time after a battle, Violet would bring a group of exhausted beast kings to Brigitte for treatment, and after they were healed, they would be dragged back to battle the next day.

So now the Beast Kings both love and hate Biji. The key is that they can't refuse her treatment. In the dog-eat-dog world of Soul Beasts, refusing a healer's kindness is basically a death sentence, especially for Soul Beasts like Emerald Swans, not to mention Biji now.

Lu Wu looked around and saw that the demons were preparing to start their work in a great mood. Some demons were collecting materials, and some were inscribing runes.

Of course, the most miserable one is the Red King. All the demons have the spell to start a fire, but their proficiency is not high. The flames they use now are not as good as the Red King's own flame.

Apart from Gu Yuena, all the other demons surrounded the Crimson King, who obediently lay there breathing fire, constantly dividing the flames to control them, adjusting the flames according to the instructions of each demon.

After all, this concerned the survival of the Star Dou Great Forest, and they had no time to slowly figure out how to forge weapons as a mere demon. Seeing that Lu Wu did not intend to stop them, they continued.

Lu Wu looked up at the sky, but what he saw was a female imp from another dimension spying on them.

The dimensional consciousness noticed that Lu Wu was looking up at the sky and realized that Lu Wu seemed to have discovered it. It quickly withdrew its gaze, reinforced the dimensional space, and then began to rotate on its own in the space, as if nothing had happened.

Lu Wu chuckled lightly, not bothered by the guy's little tricks.

Next, he had something important to do for the soul beast race.
