Douluo Continent: Outwitting the Ceiling of Wisdom - Yuhao Faks His Death for Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 70 A Nine-Year-Old Five-Star Master

After enjoying a delicious dinner at a barbecue restaurant in a shopping mall in Donghai City, Huo Yuhao and his three companions were planning to take a taxi home.

At that moment, Huo Yuhao, who was walking on the first floor of the shopping mall while looking at his phone, suddenly saw that Gu Yuena had sent him a message.

"Um?"

Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly and clicked on it curiously.

After reading the details of her message, a smile appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Beside him, Meng Hongchen, who was happily playing with her plush toy, turned her head curiously after hearing his soft exclamation and asked, "What's wrong, Yuhao?"

"It's Gu Yuena," Huo Yuhao said with a smile, turning his phone screen towards her, "asking what we've been up to lately."

Meng Hongchen leaned closer and saw that Gu Yuena's message, though seemingly calm in tone, contained the unspoken message, "I miss you guys a little."

So she couldn't help but chuckle: "Oh my, Na'er is so cute! — Really, if you wanted to play with us so much, why didn't you ask us sooner?"

"After all, that's the kind of person she seems to be—cold on the outside but warm on the inside." Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen shrugged and teased.

Listening to the conversation of the three family members, Ye Guyi pondered for a moment, then suggested, "In that case—we happen to be at home tonight dealing with some matters related to the manufacture of battle armor, so why don't we invite Na'er to come over and be our guest?"

After hearing Ye Guyi's suggestion, Huo Yuhao and the other two exchanged glances and all felt that there was no problem with it.

"Great! Our house is so big, it seems a bit lonely with just the four of us." Meng Hongchen readily agreed.

After the two ladies of the house said there was no problem, Huo Yuhao and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a meaningful glance and then nodded to each other.

"Then I'll ask her if she's coming or not—"

While Huo Yuhao was typing a message to Gu Yuena, the four of them left the mall and quickly got into a taxi hailed by Xiao Hongchen to go home.

In the basement of Huo Yuhao's seaside villa in Donghai City.

When Huo Yuhao and his family first moved in here, he, Xiao Hongchen, and Jing Hongchen transformed the underground space of the house into a large professional research and production area.

At this very moment, Huo Yuhao and his family of four, along with Gu Yuena who had just arrived, were preparing to plan how to create their five-person one-word battle armor.

"You can discuss the specifics of how to make it. Anyway, I have plenty of high-quality spirit alloy for a thousand refinements," Xiao Hongchen said confidently to the other four, leaning back on the chair in front of the forging table with his hands supporting his head.

"A spirit alloy refined to the highest grade—" Gu Yuena looked at Xiao Hongchen with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "Xiao Hongchen, you're already a level five blacksmith?"

"Hmph, of course—a mere five-star master craftsman is a piece of cake." Xiao Hongchen raised his eyebrows smugly.

It has to be said that Xiao Hongchen is still too authoritative in the field of metal forging.

-

After reaching the third ring level of cultivation, Xiao Hongchen soon completed a thousand-fold forging of an alloy with spiritual power, witnessed by Mu Chen, the president of the East Sea City Forging Masters Association.

Xiao Hongchen thus easily achieved an unprecedented feat—becoming a five-star master craftsman at the age of nine!

After witnessing Xiao Hongchen achieve such success, Mu Chen was overjoyed.

He immediately made a soul-guided call to his blacksmith friend, Zhenhua, the only nine-star divine craftsman in the entire Douluo world, and informed him about his disciple whose blacksmithing talent was exaggerated to the extreme.

When Zhenhua heard his master craftsman friend tell him on the phone that a genius who became a five-star master craftsman at the age of nine had emerged in Donghai City, his first reaction was: "Mu Chen, it's been so long since we last contacted each other. Are you getting senile, or are you pretending to be confused to fool me?"

How did you manage to connect the terms "nine years old" and "master craftsman"?

However, after Mu Chen's earnest assurances, Zhen Hua, who had never believed in such things, began to waver.

Nine years old, a five-star master craftsman—is this even human?

You're telling me this is a person??

Therefore, Zhenhua, whose worldview was severely shaken, immediately demanded that Mu Chen personally bring this prodigy to Tiandou City to find him after some time: "I want to see for myself if this nine-year-old Grandmaster you're talking about is real! If it's true—"

When Zhenhua said this on the phone, his voice trembled slightly.

The nine-year-old master craftsman —

Such a gifted talent will surely grow into a master craftsman just like him in the future!

He finally has a successor.

Just thinking about this made Zhenhua incredibly excited.

Because, as long as the Douluo Continent can produce a second Divine Craftsman, he can finally retire and enjoy his life!

Right now, forging at the Heavenly Forging level is just too tiring and painful for him.

What's even more crucial is that in this era of friendship between humans and spirit beasts, he, a mere master craftsman, has to satisfy the Heavenly Forging Metal requirements of all human and spirit beast powerhouses.

"Mu Chen, if you dare to lie to me—I'll put on my four-word battle armor and beat you to death, you little Soul Douluo!"

Before hanging up the phone, Zhenhua threatened him fiercely, thinking that he might be disappointed.

The perspective shifts back to Huo Yuhao's family's underground research and production room.

"That's amazing!" Gu Yuena exclaimed in a low voice, her eyes filled with awe, after receiving Xiao Hongchen's affirmation.

"You don't need to worry about the quality of the spirit alloy either." Xiao Hongchen stood up, his smugness even more pronounced. "Right now, I can forge spirit alloys of four different metals, with a minimum fusion rate of 93% to 94%, and a maximum of 96% or even 97%!"

He had been working himself to the bone learning forging during this time. So, Xiao Hongchen wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show off the results of his hard work over the past year.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao, who had some knowledge of forging, couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Oh~ I don't understand." Meng Hongchen, who knew nothing about forging, felt only disdain upon seeing her older brother's extremely smug expression. "Is this so impressive?"

Xiao Hongchen glared at Meng Hongchen, who was looking at him with disdain, and then said, "Nonsense, little sister! You have no idea how shocked my master, Mu Chen, was when he saw my 97% fusion-grade four-metal spirit alloy—"

"In the history of the Blacksmiths' Association, the lowest-ranking blacksmith capable of forging a spirit alloy with a fusion rate of over 95% is level six!"

"Hmph, little sister, you should really thank your genius older brother for his greatness! You're truly blessed to have the spiritual alloy I need to forge your One-Word Battle Armor."
