Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 175 Titanium Crystal

The 20% increase represents an overall level increase of 68, which is close to reaching the strength of a Title Douluo, and that's perfectly feasible.

His aura was released so quickly that the fusion technique composed of golden leaves and peach blossoms was instantly dispersed.

Ye Shihong and Bai Hanying were knocked unconscious by the powerful shockwave.

The magnificent golden leaf martial spirit vanished under the sky, and the fragrance of peach blossoms could no longer be smelled.

"Should we continue fighting?" Gu You glanced at the remaining people, his eyes swirling with purple energy.

We admit defeat!

Yes, we admit defeat!

Zhou Tian was relieved that he hadn't made a move, and also relieved that Gu You hadn't recognized him. However, his eyes were still filled with complex emotions. In just a few years, the former two-ring Soul Master had grown to such an extent.

Qian Xingmo was still fighting with Ye Xinglan and the others. His expression was very bad. These Soul Masters and Soul Venerables in front of him were more troublesome than he had imagined.

When he decided to use his strongest soul skill, he overheard his teammates all admitting defeat.

Qian Xingmo gritted her teeth. How could those teammates be so useless? How could Gu You possibly beat six of them? This... this is easy.

His attention shifted between Ye Xinglan and the others, and as he looked at Gu You, Gu You also looked at him.

I admit defeat.

When Qian Xingmo looked into Shang Guyou's purple pupils, he felt a nameless fear that made him want to admit defeat.

"Class 1, Grade 1 wins!" The referee's calm voice echoed throughout the stadium.

The quiet stadium suddenly erupted into a lively atmosphere.

Ancient Travels!

Ancient travels...

Standing in the middle of the arena, Gu You felt the endless applause and praise. His first reaction was not happiness, but a sense of loss.

If he didn't have this power, where would he be now?

After the sparring matches, there will be professional competitions, with representatives from each class participating. The sixth-year students on the opposing side are also selected from various classes, representing the best second-career students.

Because of his position as a class leader, Gu You also had to participate in a forging competition.

Before long, two huge forging platforms had been set up in the sparring arena.

"The blacksmith friendly sparring match will begin in three minutes."

The remaining students who were watching were basically there to see Gu You. With such formidable strength, what about his second profession talent?

Driven by curiosity, everyone focused intently on the situation.

Gu You walked towards the forging platform of the competition, for he had no choice but to participate in the forging competition.

From the teachers' seats, Feng Wuyu said smugly to Zhuo Shi beside him, "I'll show you what crushing is all about in a moment."

In this corrupt world, he said, "That's my grand-disciple's own skill; what does it have to do with you?"

"I was his mentor, how come I have nothing to do with him?" Feng Wuyu said angrily.

"Very well, I'll ask you then. What level of forging did my grand-disciple possess when he arrived?"

Feng Wuyu thought for a moment. At that time, Gu You was already a spirit forging stone, and he could already cut high-quality stones. He should be considered a level six blacksmith.

"Level 6!" he answered without hesitation.

"What level are you at now?" Zhuoshi pressed.

"Level 6..." By the time Feng Wuyu realized what was happening, it was too late.

Zhuo Shi scoffed, "When you came here, my grand-disciple was already at level six, which proved that he was a forging genius. Now that you're still at level six, it proves that you, your teacher, are a waste, not improving at all."

"You're talking nonsense! That's not how it's calculated! Do you think it's so easy to produce a Saintly Craftsman!" Feng Wuyu became furious at the mention of Gu You. He grabbed Zhuo Shi by the collar.

Zhuoshi didn't resist, only letting out a cold snort, "Do you want to commit insubordination?"

Feng Wuyu roared, "How dare you go in?"

Zhuo Shi chuckled, "You're my grand-disciple's master, and I'm his grandmaster. We're from different generations. Even if you don't call me 'teacher,' you should at least call me 'uncle-master.' For you to lay a hand on me, isn't that insubordination?"

"You two get out!" Yali turned around again, her gaze now hostile.

Feng Wuyu quickly released his hand, lowered his head, and acted as if it had nothing to do with him. Zhuoshi spread his hands, as if he had nothing to say. Then, his right hand swept from the left corner of his mouth to the right corner, like zipping up a zipper, to indicate that he would no longer speak.

The two Shrek dragons finally quieted down. Cai Yue'er whispered with a smile in Ya Li's ear, "Only you could tame them both. I don't think even the Pavilion Master is as good as you in this regard!"

Ya-li smiled and shook her head helplessly, "Those two are just a pair of lovable fools who never grow up."

At this moment, Gu You's team had also arrived on the competition stage.

The boy opposite him looked to be seventeen or sixteen years old, with an ordinary appearance and average build, nothing particularly remarkable about him. However, his hands were exceptionally large, and his arms were especially thick. He had a very calm demeanor, and after stepping onto the stage, his gaze remained fixed on the forging platform in front of him, without glancing at Gu You.

Something's up. Gu You raised an eyebrow upon seeing his opponent's condition.

The referee announced loudly, "The first match is a forging exchange and competition. The topic is metal purification. You two will each receive a piece of rare titanium crystal and have 15 minutes. Whoever achieves the best purification effect within the time limit will win this match. The winner will receive a reward of 1,000 contribution points and academic credits. First-year students who win will receive an additional 30% reward."

Titanium crystal?

Upon hearing about this rare metal, Gu You felt as if it were directed at him, since he had never forged such a metal before.

Among rare metals, some are particularly difficult to forge. These metals that are particularly difficult to forge generally have one thing in common: they are of very high quality, too hard or too pliable, and require much more effort to work during the forging process.

Titanium quartz is undoubtedly one of the best examples. Calling it a rare metal is an understatement; it's more accurate to describe it as an unrefined ore. It's extremely hard, yet also very brittle. During forging, excessive force can cause it to break, while insufficient force will render it unusable. Therefore, few blacksmiths choose to forge this metal.

However, if titanium crystal is purified, it becomes an extremely rare metal. It has a strong affinity for almost all other rare metals, and many high-level blacksmiths use it to add extra alloys to increase their strength.

Moreover, this ore is a strategic-grade mineral that is strictly controlled by the federal military.

The price of titanium quartz is also astonishing; each piece of titanium quartz is almost always priced at 20 million federal dollars.

So the referee continued, "The winners will receive your forged products, and the academy will also give you two extra titanium crystals."

Two extra coins, and this is the special reward? Gu You was speechless for a moment. Team competition...
