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

Deep within Blue Tyrant Academy.

Because of adequate nutrition in his early years and his continuous high-intensity training, Lin Yu is now 1.7 meters tall.

Unlike the thick arms and legs of traditional blacksmiths, Lin Yu, who is 1.7 meters tall, has an extremely well-proportioned figure. However, beneath that well-proportioned figure are muscles as hard as gold and iron.

Lin Yu, who was immersed in the forging process, suddenly felt his tense spirit relax and his consciousness could extend outward to ten meters!

Lin Yu has broken through; his soul power has now reached level 30. He only needs one soul ring to become the youngest Soul Master on the continent.

Unlike the joy that most people feel when they break through, Lin Yu felt extremely helpless about this untimely breakthrough.

He's already grasped the essence of spirit forging, so why does he insist on breaking through at this crucial juncture?

Forget it, with my current soul power reserves, it's still a long shot to complete the Ten Thousand Refinements Spirit Awakening.

It's not too late to try spirit forging after absorbing the third spirit ring.

Five years ago, not long after realizing that the key to thousand-fold forging was iron smelting, Lin Yu touched the threshold of thousand-fold forging.

Lin Yu mastered the Thousand Refinements technique specifically after absorbing his second soul ring.

After reaching the second ring, Lin Yu successfully completed the Thousand Refinements thanks to his extremely fast soul power recovery speed and strong physique.

Before reaching the second ring, Lin Yu's consciousness would extend outward by ten centimeters with each level increase. After reaching the second ring, Lin Yu's consciousness could extend outward by one meter with each level increase in soul power.

As for the ability to penetrate consciousness, after reaching the second ring, Lin Yu was able to penetrate his own body, directly penetrating ten centimeters into his body.

However, this kind of consciousness infiltration only has a greater impact on low-level Soul Masters. If the opponent's level is higher, Lin Yu's consciousness cannot penetrate.

If you were to ask how Lin Yu knew this, it would be because he had tried to infiltrate the "First Prince's" body with his consciousness over the years.

However, the sheer abundance of soul power within it prevented his consciousness from penetrating it.

Outsiders only know that the current eldest prince is "neglecting his duties," but Lin Yu judged from the increasingly dense soul power of the other party that he has also begun to cultivate in silence over the years!

The "eldest prince" was already three years older than him and had innate level 20 soul power. What did he have to offer to catch up with him?

…………

As soon as Lin Yu left the forging room, he saw Liu Erlong sitting in his courtyard waiting for him.

Seeing Lin Yu walk out of the forging room, Liu Erlong stood up and looked him up and down with considerable pride.

"Xiaoyu, I really didn't expect that you could break through level 30 before you were twelve years old."

Lin Yu smiled modestly: "It's all thanks to the Dean's excellent teaching. If the Dean hadn't taken me in back then and introduced me to other forces in Tiandou City, how could I have grown so quickly?"

Liu Erlong shook his head helplessly at Lin Yu's politeness: "You kid, you're still so formal with me. You're the one who's working so hard, but you always like to say that I'm the one who helped you."

Seeing that Lin Yu remained unmoved, Liu Erlong waved his hand reluctantly.

"Never mind, you've helped me a lot over the years. If Blue Tyrant Academy didn't have you, it would probably still be a small, unknown academy."

Lin Yu understood what Liu Erlong meant; she was trying to gradually distance herself from him.

But... are the boundaries so easy to draw?

Lin Yu couldn't help but think of the mission from the Pope that Ghost Douluo had relayed to him a few days ago.

The mission rewards are generous: a ten-thousand-year-old herb from the Spirit Hall's warehouse that can enhance health and vitality.

I'm already level 30, and my martial soul hasn't even completed its second awakening yet. I'm determined to get that ten-thousand-year-old herb that enhances my blood and qi.

…………

Pope's Palace.

After hearing Ghost Douluo's report, Bibi Dong paused in her tapping of the armrest and subconsciously narrowed her eyes.

"That kid, facing the teacher who raised him for five years, actually managed to say he would accept this task."

The ghostly figure standing to the side couldn't offer any comment. "You've already rewarded me with herbs that are ten thousand years old. Given that kid's eagerness to improve his strength, how could he possibly refuse?"

Bibi Dong didn't care what the ghost, who was bowing his head in silence, was thinking.

Compared to how others perceive her, she is more concerned about another issue at this moment.

"Elder Yue Guan, it's not that I don't trust your skills, but this matter is of utmost importance. Lin Yu is an important pawn that my Spirit Hall has planted in Heaven Dou City. If he were to lose his foundation because of this mission, the consequences would be dire."

Faced with His Holiness the Pope's repeated questioning, Yue Guan was practically kneeling down.

"Your Holiness, the Pope, rest assured. That boy has been eating the medicinal meals I have carefully prepared for him for five years. Now, while he may not be able to hold his liquor, with his energy and blood, he can definitely fight for several hours without any problem."

"As for the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, after years of nourishment with medicinal cuisine, he is only missing an opportunity... so please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Once she was certain that everything was in order, Bibi Dong waved her hand and dismissed the two retainers.

The Papal Palace was deserted, and Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cruel smile.

"Liu Erlong...a self-righteous woman."

"You must still be proud of having such a disciple, right? I'd like to see how you'd handle it if you were to have a relationship with your disciple."

"Let's see if you're still embarrassed to get close to Yu Xiaogang..."

When Lin Yu became Liu Erlong's disciple, Bibi Dong had already thought about how to destroy this woman she both envied and was jealous of.

That silent contest between Lin Yu and Hu Liena was orchestrated by her, with others making the noise.

This was all so that Liu Erlong would have a chance to compete against her on the same stage.

However, this competition was not about the difference in the disciples' abilities, but rather the difference in their character.

Back then, because of that incident between her and her master, she dared not face Yu Xiaogang again.

Today, she wanted to see if Liu Erlong would still have the courage to face Yu Xiaogang if he had a similar experience to hers.

The only variable in this contest is Lin Yu's cultivation speed.

That kid's cultivation speed is too fast. Even though he wasted a lot of cultivation time in Tiandou City making money and finding resources, he still obtained his second soul ring before Hu Liena.

As for the third spirit ring, according to Ghost Douluo's information, Lin Yu will break through in the next few days.

But looking at Hu Liena, who is in the Spirit Hall, she clearly has better cultivation resources and doesn't have to worry about money or nutrition. She even found an external soul bone for herself that is extremely compatible with the Heavenly Fox.

Why is Hu Liena's cultivation speed slower than Lin Yu's?

However, she was not jealous of Lin Yu's cultivation speed, because Lin Yu was also her disciple, and that kid's first soul bone and first soul skill were both obtained from the Spirit Hall.

If this kid really survives until the end of his undercover mission, he'll have to call me "teacher" when he returns to the Spirit Hall.

I was just worried that Hu Liena would be influenced by Lin Yu… Oh well, she's already completed her mission. As long as she doesn't embarrass me afterwards, that's fine…
