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

Gu You didn't want so much work, and besides, he had already taken advantage of the title of "Divine Master." Surely a Blood God Divine Master had to save face? He had to give him that face.

"That's easy, I'll find you a place. There's a place like that behind our legion's mech warehouse. A few days ago, when we were dealing with the beast tide, one of my battle armors was badly damaged and might need to be reforged. Could you take a look?"

Xu Weitao's right shoulder flashed, and with a grab of his left hand, a dark silver shoulder armor appeared in his hand.

Gu You had noticed before that his right shoulder was somewhat inflexible. It seems he was injured while fighting the abyssal creatures.

Upon taking the shoulder armor, Gu You couldn't help but gasp. Generally speaking, three-word battle armor was forged from soul-forged metal. The leap from two-word to three-word battle armor was a qualitative one. And with even Saint-level craftsmen at least achieving this, the number of three-word battle armor masters was more than ten times less than that of two-word battle armor masters.

Soul-forged metal has developed its own intelligence and life, and can self-repair to a great extent. Therefore, ordinary injuries are nothing to soul-forged metal. However, the damage to this shoulder armor is quite unusual.

The shoulder armor itself only had one wound, but it had been completely ripped open. What was even more terrifying was that at the break, many thin strands of energy were constantly eroding the shoulder armor, preventing the metal from repairing itself.

These wispy energies looked like countless tiny gray-white insects, densely packed and startling to the eye.

Good heavens, what kind of power caused this destruction?

While shocked, Gu You was also pondering how to repair the shoulder armor. The battle armor itself couldn't be repaired, nor could it self-repair even with soul power. This meant that the battle armor might be ruined.

As a blacksmith, not a battle armor maker, if he wanted to repair rather than remake this battle armor, there was only one way: to make the battle armor's own repair capabilities exceed the destructive capabilities of those alien energies. Only in this way could the battle armor be repaired.

After thinking for a moment, Gu You's eyes suddenly lit up and an idea came to him.

He took the battle armor to his forging table, placed it on it, and instead of taking out the forging hammer, he wiped his forehead and released his Golden Dragon Spear.

Upon seeing the Golden Dragon Spear, Xu Weitao's eyes lit up. "What a fine weapon!" He had seen Gu You use the Golden Dragon Spear in a video, but compared to that time, this spear seemed different. The sharpness within it, even just by looking at it, seemed to evoke a sense of dread.

Gu You lowered the tip of his spear and pointed it at the shoulder armor.

A strange scene suddenly appeared: a golden halo flashed on the Golden Dragon Spear, and the wispy alien energy on the shoulder armor trembled for a moment, then, like a river flowing into the sea, it surged into the Golden Dragon Spear and disappeared.

Gu You's body trembled as a powerful surge of energy suddenly flowed into his body from within the Golden Dragon Spear, invigorating his spirit and causing his dragon core to glow brightly.

It looks like it only has a small amount of energy, yet it's so incredibly potent. It's almost as much as what you'd get from killing a Baan.

With the loss of the continuous damage from that alien energy, a faint white halo immediately appeared on the shoulder armor, and the original damaged gaps began to slowly but steadily heal.

Gu You picked up the shoulder armor again and came to Xu Weitao. "Uncle Xu, it should be ready now."

Xu Weitao witnessed the entire process, and his face was filled with shock. "How did you do that? This isn't forging. That's the power of the Hundred-Legged Demon Puppet King from the 101st level of the Abyss Plane! And you neutralized it so easily? Before, when his power invaded my body, it took a lot of effort for me to recover from my injuries. If I had known, I would have asked you to do it for me; it would have been over immediately!"

Gu You smiled bitterly, "I can't heal injuries. There's no way to heal living beings. Only metal can." If the Golden Dragon Spear were to be thrust into this person's body, it would immediately begin to drain their life force, and the harm would probably be even more terrifying than the power of the Centipede Demon Puppet King.

Xu Weitao nodded, a strange look in his eyes. The more he learned about this young man, the more outstanding he seemed.

No wonder the Blood God Camp acted so quickly. If I had known, I should have acted sooner and not given the Blood God Camp a chance.

"I was originally planning to remake this shoulder armor. It would cost at least 20,000 merit points to forge a shoulder armor from a single piece of soul-forged metal. I'll just give you that number," Xu Weitao said readily.

Gu You shook his head, "Uncle Xu, no need. You see, I didn't put in much effort. Let's leave it at that. No need for any merit points."

Xu Weitao said in a deep voice, "How can that be? One thing at a time, what's owed must be given. You can do it without effort, that's your skill. But I can't refuse to give you what I'm supposed to contribute. Otherwise, wouldn't I be taking advantage of you? Alright, don't be so polite with me. If there's any forging work in the future, you have to give me priority. Besides, I have some ambitions. I want to try to become a four-word battle armor master in the future. By then, you might already be a master craftsman."

Xu Weitao insisted on giving Gu You 20,000 merit points before leaving.

Long Yuxue didn't leave; she looked at Gu You with a strange expression.

Gu You handed the Blood God Ring to her, saying, "Here, I'll share half with you. It won't raise your rank, but it can get you some good stuff in return."

"Don't give it to me. This is all your skill. I..." Long Yuxue hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Gu You laughed, "What did Uncle Xu just say? One thing at a time, what's due should still be given. Without your help, how could I have set up this forging workshop? So, don't be so polite with me. Come on, boss lady. Time to split the money, time to split the money."

Hearing him call her "boss lady," Long Yuxue blushed slightly, but she didn't stop him from transferring money to her. She simply said, "Just tell me when you need merit points in the future."

"Hmm. We need to move to a bigger place. By the way, did you participate in the Star Battle Network All-Federation Challenge?"

Long Yuxue nodded. "I've signed up. Most people in the legion who have a cultivation level of five rings or higher and meet the requirements have probably signed up. I estimate that the most important factor in the Western Division is the combat strength of our legion's members. There aren't many cities in the entire Western Division."

"You participated too?" Long Yuxue asked.

"Yes. I've signed up too."

"and you……
