Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 141 Tall Building: Give Me a Chance

Just as Titan was hiding away from the world among the Power Clan, an old friend of his came to visit.

Lou Gao was a person who held the title of "Divine Craftsman" during the same period as the Titans.

In these extraordinary times, adhering to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," Titan publicly declared that he would be studying the Ten Thousand Forging technique and would not see anyone during this period.

It wasn't until Lou Gao sent him a message from one of his disciples that directly broke through his defenses.

"As the most publicly known master craftsman on the mainland who is closest to Lin Yu, Lin Yu's success has absolutely nothing to do with you. Not only that, you haven't actively cultivated a relationship with him. Because of this, many people on the mainland suspect that you might have a grudge against Lin Yu. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is investigating what kind of conflict you had with Lin Yu in the past. In order to obtain detailed information about your Power Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already approached Yuexuan and begun to put pressure on Yuexuan's leader, Tang Yuehua!"

Upon hearing this news, Titan couldn't hold back any longer.

That Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is simply going too far!

As a former subordinate force of the Haotian Sect, one of the three upper sects, Titan's loyalty to the Haotian Sect is beyond question. Now, Tang Yuehua, a direct disciple of the Haotian Sect, is struggling alone outside, yet she is being harassed like this by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really disregarding the past relationship between the three upper sects for the sake of a "divine craftsman"?

The key reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made things difficult for the Haotian School was because of Titan!

Resentment, frustration, and helplessness surged within Titan, like three ropes twisted together, almost suffocating him.

In the end, Titan left the place of "seclusion" and saw Lou Gao.

Before meeting Titan, Lou Gao was actually somewhat hesitant about today's visit.

Both being master craftsmen, Lou Gao understood Titan. The only problem with this gorilla was his excessive loyalty to the Haotian Sect and his fierce protectiveness of his own. Aside from that, he didn't think Titan had any other issues.

But now there are rumors circulating that Titan Kai coveted Lin Yu's forging skills and made a move against him years ago. The details of the process are unknown, but in the end, the members of the Power Clan learned the dual-hammer forging method that only Lin Yu uses on the continent.

Various rumors portrayed Titan as incredibly ferocious and terrifying, while depicting Lin Yu as extremely wronged and pitiful.

Lou Gao initially didn't believe these claims until he saw Titan's current appearance.

When Titan walked out the door, Lou Gao almost didn't recognize him.

This once spirited master blacksmith now has gray hair, sunken eyes, and prominent bones. He looks as if something has hollowed him out from the inside, leaving only a dilapidated skeleton.

His eyes were no longer sharp; instead, they held a weary, resigned indifference.

Seeing Titan's expression, Lou Gao's heart clenched, and the rumors he had previously disbelieved began to waver in his mind.

Titan, who had just appeared, watched Lou Gao's constantly changing expression, but his face remained unchanged, or rather, he no longer had the energy or the ability to change his expression.

"Tell me, which faction do you represent on this trip? And what is your purpose?"

Lou Gao understands Titan, and Titan understands Lou Gao just as well. Lou Gao can be summed up in one sentence: a madman obsessed with forging.

However, he was good at forging large objects, while Lou Gao was good at forging delicate objects.

Currently, Lin Yu's spirit-forged weapons have already been leaked in the Soul Master world: because the shaping of spirit-forged weapons is mostly done by the spirit within the weapon itself, it can be said that each spirit-forged weapon is exquisitely perfect to the extreme!

Most importantly, Lou Gao was not like his current impoverished self; he was once the wealthiest blacksmith on the mainland.

This guy definitely has something that will catch Lin Yu's eye.

But after arriving in Tiandou City, instead of looking for Lin Yu, he came to find me. This probably wasn't from a personal standpoint; it was likely that other forces sent him to sound out their intentions.

Facing Titan's all-seeing gaze, Lou Gao chose to confess honestly.

"My trip here is not on behalf of any specific force. It's mainly because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School contacted me to gather information about you. After learning about your situation, I came here specifically to check on you."

Lou Gao paused at this point, seemingly considering his words.

"As for the purpose of my trip, I'm not afraid to admit it, but I'm really curious about what happened between you and Lin Yu. If possible, I hope you can grant me a chance to see that kid's forging skills."

Lou Gao lowered his voice, his tone sincere and earnest: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of your people after you leave and bring them to Gengxin City. Most of them are blacksmiths, and with my guarantee, no one will make things difficult for them."

Hearing Lou Gao's words, Titan wasn't surprised, but his heart still felt like it had been squeezed tightly. He remained silent for a moment, his Adam's apple bobbing, before slowly speaking.

What if I say no?

His voice was hoarse, yet carried an undeniable air of authority: "I am now in Heaven Dou City. As long as I don't commit any fundamental errors, who can touch me? Who dares to touch me?"

These words practically made their stance clear: You think you can use my Titan's life to curry favor with Lin Yu? No way!

After all, Titan is a Soul Master. If anyone in Heaven Dou City really wants to fight him head-on, it won't be so easy.

His fists are still there, his people are still there, and his martial spirit is still there!

Anyone who dares to make a rash move will be dealt with severely by Titan.

Lou Gao was not intimidated by his imposing manner; he simply sighed.

"You have the confidence to challenge other forces, so the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can't really confront you directly." He paused, then changed his tone, "But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can only do so much more than you. Currently, the Clear Sky Sect is under lockdown, and Moon Pavilion is essentially its lifeline outside the sect. If something happens to it—"

Lou Gao didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear. He wasn't threatening; he was simply stating a fact, a fact that Titan couldn't ignore.

Lou Gao planned to approach the issue from the side, using the perilous situation of the Haotian Sect to persuade Titan. He didn't want to pressure Titan, but he also knew that the Haotian Sect was Titan's greatest concern. As long as Yuexuan was in danger, it would affect the Haotian Sect, and Titan wouldn't be able to remain indifferent.

However, how could Titan possibly compromise completely based solely on his word?

At the very least, before compromising, he needed to check on Yuexuan's situation and see for himself if Yuexuan's predicament was really that critical.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. He wouldn't make any decisions until he confirmed that Tang Yuehua was indeed being pressured by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Titan stood up, his tall figure casting a long shadow in the candlelight.

He didn't say anything more, but Lou Gao had already read the answer in his eyes.

"Thank you for reminding me. If the opportunity arises, I would certainly be happy to grant your request. However, before that, please rest for a few days with my Power Clan. I will inform you after I have investigated the situation at Mingyue Pavilion."

Tang Hao, who had been secretly eavesdropping, shared the same idea as Titan.
