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

Chapter 188 Blood Trench

"With this alloy quality, upgrading it to the third rank should be quite easy," Gu You said calmly.

His Dragon God Grip was shattered by a powerful force, and an aura many times stronger than his own rushed towards him.

"But don't forget, I also have battle armor." Purple light flashed in Gu You's eyes, and his aura of a sovereign emanated from him.

Purple and Gold!

With their battle armor fully enhanced, both of them reached the peak of their power.

As Zhenhua watched the battle, his heart swelled with even greater relief.

The world truly belongs to the young. If he had possessed this ability at his age, he wouldn't have needed to become a master craftsman in his thirties.

Gu You's eyes were filled with the might of a dragon, and Xie Yinling had an indescribable feeling; his martial spirit trembled.

not good!

Gu You had already leaped into the air, his left hand covered in purple scales. This color, combined with this imposing aura, made it seem as if a single punch would obliterate everything.

Finished!

In an instant, Xie Yinling's mind went blank, and his martial spirit was completely out of control.

However, the dragon claw did not pierce through his chest; it merely touched his chest lightly, severing the connection between the soul power circulating within his body and his battle armor.

"Excuse me." Gu You landed back on the ground and took two steps back.

Xie Yinling was completely speechless.

"I haven't even shown my full potential yet!" he wanted to shout. Everything ended too quickly; he hadn't even used a single soul skill. He was truly unconvinced, but the outcome was right before his eyes. He had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, let's go." Zhenhua patted Gu You on the shoulder.

Watching the two leave, Xie Yinling was still unconvinced. As a member of the association's guardian family, he didn't dare to offend the association president and ask for another fight.

"Your combat skills are quite good. It seems you've done more than just improve your soul power these past few years." Before leaving, Zhenhua praised Gu You.

He also gave Gu You a card with a small amount of money—one million Federal Credits, enough for Gu You's round trip. There was also a storage ring with a huge interior, divided into several smaller compartments.

Gu You glanced discreetly at the space inside the ring. There was no money, only eighteen kinds of rare metals. Yes, all of them were extremely rare. He had only heard of twelve of them but never seen them. Another space contained over a dozen large bottles of forging medium personally refined by Zhen Hua, suitable for forging most metals.

Gu You stepped outside and was about to head to the Soul Guidance Station when he suddenly stopped.

"Teacher Wu." He spotted Wu Changkong standing not far in front of him at a glance.

Wu Changkong remained cold and aloof, seemingly unsurprised to see him. "I knew you'd be here."

"What happened?" Gu You asked.

Wu Changkong frowned slightly. "There were evil spirit masters appearing before, and the high-speed train you saved was also a terrorist attack arranged by an evil spirit master. The academy has issued a notice to send more teachers to protect you during your final exams. As for you, I will personally accompany you during the exams. However, the number of teachers is limited, so you will have to act together."

As he spoke, he pointed to a spot not far away.

Familiar faces appeared in Gu You's field of vision, led by Gu Yue, and all the members of their own team were present.

"What level is that evil spirit master?" Gu You asked curiously.

"Soul Saint," Wu Changkong answered truthfully.

"Sigh, that evil spirit master should be glad he was lucky and didn't run into me."

Wu Changkong's lips curled up. Gu You was telling the truth. Apart from Title Douluo-level evil soul masters, any evil soul master who offended him would only face a tragic end.

"Hello everyone." Gu You waved to his companions with a smile.

He's in a pretty good mood right now.

Xu Lizhi was the first to come up, looked Gu You up and down, his nose twitched slightly, and he asked in surprise, "What good food did you eat?"

"You have a really good nose; you must have eaten something delicious."

Xu Lizhi chuckled, "We food-type Soul Masters have very keen noses. Tell me, tell me, what are we eating?"

Gu Youdao said, "It's no use telling you, so I won't tempt you."

Wu Changkong asked, "Have you finished the match here?"

Gu You nodded.

Wu Changkong said, "They haven't done it yet. You can decide what to do next. I'll just follow along."

"Where to next?" Xie Xie asked, glancing at the crowd.

"Let's use the Spirit Pagoda," Gu Yue suggested.

"Walk."

The city of Tiandou is bustling. Find a Soul Guided Car by the roadside and head straight for the Spirit Transmission Tower of Tiandou City.

The Spirit Pagoda of Heaven Dou City is second in size only to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters of Shrek City. The massive building is magnificent.

Xu Lizhi and Gu You leaned close together and asked in a low voice, "I can feel that your blood and energy have become stronger. You must have eaten something good. Brother, just tell me."

Seeing the little fat boy's pleading face, Gu You coughed and said, "Red Jade Shrimp."

Upon hearing those three words, Xu Lizhi shuddered and exclaimed, "Red Jade Shrimp? Where did you come from?"

"Given to me by someone else."

"Who on earth is so generous as to give away red jade shrimp from Blood Sea Trench?!"

The Blood Sea Trench is a very strange place with a peculiar magnetic field; any soul-guided device entering its range will malfunction. Thousands of meters deep, the Blood Sea Trench teems with countless sea soul beasts. It's considered one of the most dangerous places, and all ships avoid it. The Red Jade Shrimp is a famous product of that place. There's only one way to obtain it: dive deep into its depths and retrieve it by hand. But even a four-word Battle Armor Master can't guarantee success there, and must also be wary of the powerful soul beasts beneath the surface.

Xu Lizhi was frustrated; he had never eaten red jade shrimp before.

Upon entering the Spirit Pagoda, everyone naturally fell silent. Wu Changkong remained behind them, saying nothing and maintaining a cold, aloof demeanor.

Gu You glanced at Teacher Wu. He remembered that Wu Changkong's lover was buried in some cemetery in Tiandou City.

Wu Changkong felt his gaze, glanced at him, and then looked away.

Gu Yueliang recognized his identity and was quickly received by the staff of the Spirit Pagoda, who led them to a conference room on the third floor to wait.

Not long after, a middle-aged man walked in from outside.

"Hello, Gu Yue Spirit Master." The middle-aged man walked over.

"Hello." Gu Yue stood up and nodded to the other person.

The middle-aged man looked somewhat troubled. "I've heard your request from the staff. But it doesn't quite conform to the rules of our Spirit Pagoda. After all, we are an organization that serves Soul Masters, and we can't ask them to compete. This might be a bit troublesome. Our own staff don't have such an obligation either."

Gu Yue frowned slightly. "Can't we think of a solution?"

The middle-aged man shook his head. "I've already consulted with my superiors. I'm afraid that won't work. Lord Tianfeng Douluo just called and said that you should handle your own affairs; the Spirit Pagoda won't help..."
