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

According to Lin Yu's future plans, he will need a lot of money.

Since Xue Qinghe can provide a way to make money, he naturally won't give it up.

Upon learning that among that group of geniuses who defied everyone else were Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and Dugu Yan, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, Lin Yu began to ponder seriously.

How to tame those geniuses? Lin Yu initially had a somewhat naive idea: to simply adopt the Spirit Hall's approach and let those so-called geniuses at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy experience the harsh realities of society.

However, if he were to copy the Spirit Hall's training methods, it would definitely attract the attention of the Heaven Dou Empire, and the Spirit Hall's training logic might not be applicable to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The Spirit Hall's strategy for cultivating Soul Masters focuses more on training ordinary Soul Masters, aiming to instill a sense of "reverence" in both geniuses and ordinary Soul Masters.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is a renowned aristocratic academy, where every student is born with a silver spoon in their mouth. While they may possess qualities like "reverence," they are not many.

But this doesn't mean Lin Yu is helpless; however, he needs to conduct some experiments first to verify certain things.

Lin Yu rescheduled the trip to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy for next Monday.

Xue Qinghe said he would come to pick him up on Monday. Even if it fails, it's okay; it's just an attempt anyway.

…………

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was Monday.

During this time, the Ghost Douluo that Lin Yu had been longing for did not appear, so he could only continue to eat the soul beast meat in his hands with rough methods.

In terms of cultivation, the capillaries on his chest are still slowly wriggling towards that insurmountable scale, and it is estimated that it will take another ten days or so for the capillaries to reach it.

Lin Yu had more experience in forging; he could complete a hundred-fold forging of metal in about thirty hammer blows, but he still had no clue how to forge a thousand-fold forging.

When Xue Qinghe came to pick up Lin Yu, Lin Yu simply changed her clothes and got into his carriage.

Lin Yu originally wanted to discuss with Xue Qinghe how this "education" would unfold.

But after getting into the carriage, Lin Yu discovered that there was another person in the carriage: a little girl who looked about eight or nine years old.

"This is Xiaoxue, my little maid who has been with me for a year. She happens to be free today, so I'm showing her around."

While claiming to be showing this young maid around, Xue Qinghe actually orchestrated this encounter to see if the two knew each other.

According to her father, her little maidservant seemed to have a connection with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Lin Yu's appearance was very timely, and it's hard to say whether he was yet another person arranged by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

It's not uncommon for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to send people into various major forces, but the timing is too sensitive!

With the Clear Sky Sect just dealt with by the Spirit Hall, the three upper sects that were "of the same ilk" were instantly reduced to only the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan is a neutral force, in recent years many of its young members have been tempted by money, sex, and power, and have entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Given its size, if something happens to the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect certainly won't be able to escape unscathed.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—they're a bunch of merchants!

The Emperor had speculated that if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wanted to maximize its profits, the best course of action during this period would be to support a puppet emperor.

To take it even further, one could simply kill the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and take his place.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School intends to take on the former, then it's fine. As the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, as long as he becomes Ning Fengzhi's disciple, he will undoubtedly become the future new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School harbors murderous intent and tries to find someone to replace the eldest prince and seize the country, then it will be dangerous!

Xue Qinghe was almost certain to die, which also meant that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a deep penetration into the Heaven Dou Empire at that time.

But if it is indeed the latter, then Xiaoxue and Lin Yu, who appeared in the Emperor's eyes at the same time, were both people arranged by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

How do you determine if two people are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? All you need to do is stage a chance encounter.

If the two are from the same faction, they will definitely know more or less about each other's identities.

Of course, it's also possible that the two people don't know each other, but that's a story for another time.

If all else fails, it's not too late to play dumb. Before he can find out the truth about the two, Xue Qinghe will not stop being suspicious.

Only Xue Qinghe understood the tension and excitement of that moment.

However, the two, whom Xue Qinghe regarded as a monstrous threat, simply greeted each other upon meeting, without any awkwardness whatsoever.

He seemed to understand a little; his father's words about the most important thing for an emperor being to "play dumb" were indeed true.

Amidst all sorts of suspicions and schemes, he suddenly realized he was wrong, and the disappointment and frustration he felt were undeniable.

Faced with the maid's doubts and Lin Yu's concern, Xue Qinghe waved his hand indifferently.

"It's nothing, I'm just having a headache over those few troublemakers who just joined the Royal Academy. By the way, Brother Lin Yu, how do you plan to get those geniuses at the Royal Academy to back down?"

Lin Yu selectively ignored Xue Qinghe's previous disappointment and frustration, and began to briefly introduce her arrangements.

"Those geniuses are unruly because they don't accept the experience summarized by their teachers."

"That Yu Tianheng, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, possesses the number one beast martial soul in the world. Naturally, he wouldn't think that what the academy teachers teach is more practical than what the family elders teach."

"That Dugu Yan has a grandfather who is a Title Douluo-level expert, and he uses poison. Presumably, in daily battles, the academy's teachers are begging Dugu Yan to go easy on them because they don't have the antidote for the Jade Serpent's venom. This way, Dugu Yan won't feel that the teachers are superior to her and that she needs to respect them."

"As long as there is a way to prove that the experience summarized by other Soul Masters can be learned from, that's enough."

Xue Qinghe grasped the key point: to make students recognize the teacher's experience.

but……

"Brother Lin Yu, could it be that you can use your experience to convince Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan?"

Lin Yu simply smiled mysteriously at Xue Qinghe's words.

However, he quickly changed the subject.

"To be honest, ordinary teachers can't teach those true geniuses anything anymore."

"If you want them to improve, the Royal Academy can cooperate with the Soul Arena, allowing its young students to enter the Soul Arena and learn combat experience from opponents of the same level."

"I've been in the Soul Arena. Those who spend years honing their skills there have a depth of understanding of Martial Souls and Soul Skills that is no less than that of some teachers."

Xue Qinghe was somewhat disappointed that he couldn't find out from Lin Yu how to subdue Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

But when Xue Qinghe heard the conditions Lin Yu proposed, his eyes lit up.

That's right. What those so-called genius soul masters lack is experience, and the experience they need doesn't necessarily have to be taught by academy teachers!

Although we didn't find out Lin Yu's true identity, it's not bad to get a different method from Lin Yu that can help those prodigies improve!

Furthermore, this cooperation with the Soul Arena can alleviate the academy's financial pressure to some extent.
