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

The meteorite steel itself began to flash rhythmically. The restrained light gradually dissipated, as if it had completely merged with him.

Curing successful!

Gu You dared not be negligent. With a soft shout, his aura intensified. His eyes gleamed, and his hands trembled slightly as his two life-sustaining hammers struck each other in front of him. Immediately afterward, a resounding dragon's roar suddenly echoed from his body.

The so-called "soul summoning" involves using the energy infused during forging to call upon the soul-forged metal, creating a mutual resonance. Only in this way can the soul within the metal be truly activated.

This is true soul forging!

The resounding roar of a dragon echoed in the forging chamber, and the metal hummed continuously.

"Buzz—"

The meteorite trembled violently, then suddenly fell silent.

A look of surprise flashed across Gu You's face. He succeeded! He succeeded!

From this day forward, he will be the most powerful forging genius in the entire Douluo Federation. History will not change him, and his legacy will be passed down forever!

The meteorite steel came to life, to have a soul. It obediently flew into Gu You's hand.

Gu You's expression hardened. He decided to finish Ma Shan's task in the next few days!

……

"Is...is this really metal?" Ma Shan stared at the Soul Forging Ore in his hand, completely mesmerized.

Just like a colorful gem, it is a rare treasure of the world!

Gu You used this metal to teach himself how to modify Ma Shan's three-character battle armor. Ma Shan was full of praise for the final product.

His three-word battle armor not only resolved some of the hidden dangers left by the previous two-word battle armor, but its quality was also among the best in the Blood God Legion.

"Okay, okay, I, Ma Shan, acknowledge you. From now on, I'll be there whenever you need me for any favors." After transferring the merit points to Gu You, Ma Shan left with a big smile on his face.

"Only after getting to know someone for a while can you truly see them for who they are!" Gu You said, watching Ma Shan's departing figure.

His initial impression of Ma Shan was that he was a very bad person with a bad temper.

But after getting to know him, you'll find that he's the one truly worth befriending. He treats his brothers and subordinates like family and friends, and the public with fairness!

……

The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda.

Gu Yuena combed her hair and strode out of the room.

"Are you ready?" A melodious voice rang in Gu Yuena's ears. Leng Yaozhu was already waiting outside the door.

"Yes, I'm ready, teacher." Gu Yuena nodded to her.

A faint smile appeared on Leng Yaozhu's face. This disciple had never disappointed her. She raised her hand and gave Gu Yuena a high five. "Go for it! Let them see just how powerful my disciple, Leng Yaozhu's disciple, really is. Also, you've been asking me about Gu You. Although I can't tell you everything, I can give you a brief overview. He's been taken care of by someone now. I've heard he's doing quite well lately. I don't know the specifics, but he's currently in the army."

In the military?

Gu Yuena's eyes flickered with doubt, but her wary expression turned cold. "Teacher, let's not worry about that now. I will definitely pass." Her gaze became incredibly determined. Passing this test would make her a prospective Spirit Summoner of the Spirit Pagoda, truly entering its upper echelons.

The metal door opened, and Gu Yuena strode in. What awaited her was the most rigorous test of the Spirit Pagoda.

……

"The match begins!"

Accompanied by an electronic voice prompt, Gu You stared at his opponent.

Number 24 was the number of his opponent in the first match of the finals in his region.

The Star Dou Battle Network Federation Challenge differs from Soul Master competitions in one key aspect: the opponents' situations are unknown, and there's no way to investigate them. The Federation maintains excellent secrecy regarding all players' information, relying solely on videos of previous matches to gather intelligence. However, the crucial issue is that even the group assignments are hidden. Therefore, no one knows who their next opponent will be, resulting in a vast amount of information to research.

But in Gu You's eyes, whether he studied it or not made no difference; no one could defeat him at this level. Even if they surpassed a higher level, the result would still be the same.

Twenty-four figures flashed, shooting towards Gu You like lightning. They were agility-based Soul Masters with seven Soul Rings, making them Seven-Ring Soul Saints.

The opponent was incredibly fast. Even the weakest agility-type battle spirit master at the seventh ring level could break the sound barrier. Therefore, the distance between the two sides was almost instantaneous.

Wow, that was fast!

But so what?

Gu You's eyes suddenly lit up. If you looked closely, you would see that his originally round pupils instantly turned vertical, and a fierce aura burst out from his body.

With just a slight movement of his toes, a deep rumble erupted from beneath his feet, and the ground within a 30-meter radius centered on his body collapsed almost simultaneously.

The opponent's martial soul does not have the ability to fly. Even if a Soul Saint has the ability to fly, they would not be able to react in this situation.

Instantly, the opponent's speed decreased, and he fell into the large pit.

Taking this opportunity, Gu You unleashed a powerful dragon roar and threw out a dragon fist!

The opponent reacted quickly, and the surrounding space trembled.

She disappeared.

Escape through a spatial rift?

Gu You was slightly taken aback, but he didn't pause for a second and his right fist slammed into the air.

Another dragon's roar resounded, space collapsed, and a black hole appeared directly in mid-air.

Number Twenty-Four screamed as her leg, which had just stepped into the rift, was instantly torn apart by the violent space. But her reaction was extremely fast. She immediately abandoned her plan to escape through the space, her seventh soul ring shone brightly, and her body suddenly shrank, transforming into a streak of emerald light that instantly rushed in front of Gu You.

The Martial Soul is the Emerald Demon Dagger, and its true form is the Emerald Demon Bird.

Without a doubt, the Emerald Bird is an extremely terrifying and ferocious soul beast, but in the face of a true dragon, it has no choice but to submit!

This attack was a desperate gamble for Number Twenty-Four. He released his Martial Soul True Body and Two-Word Battle Armor almost simultaneously. That beam of emerald light seemed capable of piercing even the heavens and earth.

Gu You didn't move; he simply unleashed his Qi and Blood Soul Rings and released the Purple-Gold Dragon Armor.

He wanted to see how much damage the Purple Gold Dragon Armor could reflect, remembering that it had some anti-armor capabilities.

Will it kill the opponent?

A beam of azure light flashed on Gu You's body, and the surrounding space was instantly torn apart.

Her opponent was taken aback. She slowly turned her head to look at Gu You, and then slowly turned into light and shadow and disappeared.

Terrifying! Terrifying indeed!

Gu You knew that the anti-armor ability of his Purple-Gold Dragon Armor was...
