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

Chapter 43 Zhenhua

"Have you finished reading?" Yun Ming snatched Gu You's soul-guided communication device.

"You, what brings you here!" Gu You was surprised. Normally, Shrek Academy has many affairs, and Yun Ming, as the head of the Sea God Pavilion, should be very busy. After taking the photo with Qiong Shiyu, Gu You did not see Yun Ming again and thought he had returned to Shrek.

"I'll take you to Tiandou City. This incident has been delayed for too long," Yun Ming said softly.

"But isn't this my training?" Gu You wondered.

"You're right, but you've already experienced better challenges. To protect your safety and prevent a second incident from happening, it's better if I take you there."

This was the first time Gu You had heard a hint of gentleness from Yun Ming.

"Um!"

Yun Ming nodded, and the four-character Dou Kai began to combine and attach to his entire body, releasing a terrifying aura, but there were obvious signs of restraint.

Gu You seemed to know what he was about to experience, and suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous.

Great! Another exciting high-speed trip.

……

Tiandou City

Once the capital of the Heavenly Dou Empire, it was incredibly prosperous and still stands as a first-tier city in the Sun Moon Federation. Although it lacks skyscrapers, its moderately prosperous economy, historical economy, and tourist economy are exceptionally developed. The Spirit Pagoda, known as the "Heavenly Pagoda" and the top-ranked Spirit Pagoda among the eighteen Spirit Pagodas, is located here. At the same time, countless sects, large and small, are scattered throughout the area, including the Tang Sect.

Blacksmiths Association Headquarters

The only city tower in Tiandou City that can rival the height of the Sky Tower.

Gu You didn't vomit this time; he felt a sense of familiarity with it, and he could now secretly vow that he would never get airsick again.

Stepping onto this ancient land, Gu You had a strange feeling, but none of that mattered most. Under this sky and on the ground, there was a massive arsenal...

Yun Ming did not go through the main gate of the Blacksmith Association, but instantly teleported Gu You to a magnificent hall.

"You've arrived." The voice was calm and steady, indicating that the person had been waiting for a long time.

"Hmm." Yun Ming led Gu You inside.

The original brilliant color scheme has faded, and the surrounding walls are now filled with a metallic texture. A very luxurious forging machine comes into view, and in the storage cabinet next to it, there are all kinds of rare ores, too many to count.

Gu You was also drooling over this luxurious lineup. He saw the life ore, and it was so big. If he had it, he would be so happy.

"Is this the child you were talking about?" A figure staggered up to the two of them. His face was dignified and imposing, but his clothes were sloppy and he didn't seem to be in good spirits. He looked as if he had just experienced something bad. However, Gu You dared not make any rash judgments. The person in front of him was a true master craftsman, one of the people he would inevitably pass through on his path to the peak.

"Yes, he came to become a disciple." Yun Ming nodded. With his divine spiritual power, he had already sent a message to Zhen Hua from a great distance.

Zhen Bi glanced at Gu You, "He is indeed a genius. He has fought against evil soul masters at such a young age, and his soul power is still so strong. But forging is a very demanding skill..."

Before Zhenhua could finish speaking, Gu You immediately picked up a piece of unforged and unrefined heavy silver from the forging table next to him. His face was calm, as if he was telling Zhenhua, "With my tenacious strength, is it enough?"

"Put it down! Put it down! Don't let it fall! I forged this floor with my own soul-level skills every day!" Zhenhua hurriedly stopped Gu You's actions. It wasn't that he thought the floor was that important, but as a blacksmith, he couldn't tolerate any damage to his own creations.

But he also praised Gu You's strength, his immense power, and the genius of his craft!

"Oh." Gu You carefully put down the silver.

"Yun Ming, it's been decades since we last met. You haven't changed at all, haha! Time really flies. Since you recommended him, I will naturally give him a chance." Zhen Hua casually waved his hand, and a Soul Forging Hammer appeared in front of Gu You.

"Child, what is your current blacksmithing level?"

"Level four! He can try spirit forging." Yun Ming said before Gu You could speak.

What? Level 4?! How old is he? Zhenhua instantly appeared in front of Gu You, stroking his hands. In that instant, Gu You even misunderstood Zhenhua.

"Genius! Genius!! When I was twelve, I had only just begun to learn spirit forging, and he... he can do it at nine?" Zhenhua couldn't believe it. In terms of forging talent, Zhenhua was the undisputed leader in the entire history of Douluo Continent, and his record had never been surpassed. He never expected that a nine-year-old boy would reach the level of a fourth-level forging master.

"You can trust him. He is indeed incredibly talented, even more so than I was when I was a child." Yun Ming looked at Gu You.

"Alright, let's begin the test, child. If you can forge any metal into a first-grade, thousand-fold refined form, I will take you as my apprentice. Here, take this Soul Hammer; consider it a gift from me." Zhenhua looked at Gu You with shining eyes. If it were someone else who gave it to him, he might not believe it, but if it was Yun Ming who gave it to him, he would definitely believe it.

Gu You did not take the hammer.

"What? Is it not good?" Zhenhua frowned, but considering that Gu You was already a fourth-level blacksmith at such a young age, his arrogance was to be expected.

Gu You shook his head. "Senior, although Soul Forging items are important, they are not of much practical help to me. Besides, they are not my Blood Sacrifice Spirit Hammer. At most, they can only be used to forge some ordinary items."

"Oh! So what do you want?"

"it!"

Gu You pointed to the life ore in the storage cabinet, and Yun Ming Zhenhua followed suit, both of them startled.

Life Ore, also known as Life Crystal, is a rare mineral possessed by innate life force. It can generally only be found in ancient forests, and only natural life force can form this mineral. Shrek Academy also has some that are sunk to the bottom of the deep lake...

Although life minerals are important, Zhenhua knows that nothing is more valuable than a future Heavenly Forging Master. The continuous supply of four-word battle armor is proof that an ordinary Title Douluo can unleash the strength of a Super Douluo when wearing four-word battle armor, let alone a Super Douluo. Moreover, there are countless Title Douluo-level Soul Masters in the Federation who do not yet possess four-word battle armor. Once all of them are equipped with four-word battle armor, the entire Sun Moon Federation will be able to confidently unify the entire Douluo Planet.

But this is just wishful thinking. Four-word battle armor is extremely difficult to make. The process of making a piece of four-word battle armor may take up to a year, or at least six or seven months. Now that Zhenhua is old, he is gradually losing his strength in forging the Heavenly Forging Metal for four-word battle armor.

The Douluo Sun Moon Federation desperately needs a new Heavenly Forging Master, and if we're certain, Zhenhua is right—it's Gu You in the future!
