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

"If you're not interested in this challenge, then forget it."

Xue Qinghe looked up with a regretful expression and sighed softly.

Looking at Lin Yu again, Xue Qinghe's eyes held a hint of amusement: "After all, this challenge was initiated by Xue Beng. If he wins, he can gain partial control of the Royal Academy. But have you considered what he can offer if he loses?"

Hearing what the other person meant... Lin Yu sat up straight.

"If we win, will I get any benefits?"

Xue Qinghe nodded, then put on a matter-of-fact expression.

"If you win, you can exchange the things from Avalanche for a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone."

A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone? That's probably not something an avalanche could produce, right?

"Could the ten-thousand-year-old soul bone have been taken out by Emperor Xueye?"

Hearing Lin Yu's question, Xue Qinghe looked at Lin Yu with an expression as if he were looking at a monster.

"You didn't get wind of this already, did you?"

Lin Yu ignored Xue Qinghe's surprise and went straight to the point: "Tell me about the challenge process, such as how many times I can attempt it, whether I can use external aids during the battle, and to what extent the battle needs to proceed?"

Tsk, this guy, he's more proactive than anyone else when there's a reward in it.

"You can challenge the Avalanche team once a month. After accepting the challenge, they will send one person each day, for a total of three people. You just need to win three battles. They have a total of..."

…………

After discussing the details of the challenge, Xue Qinghe led Lin Yu to his courtyard.

Unlike the small courtyard at Blue Tyrant Academy, the small courtyard that Xue Qinghe built for Lin Yu had a separate entrance in the wall between him and the courtyard.

Xue Qinghe explained the reason for the small door as "to make it convenient for future visits."

However, the focus of Lin Yu's courtyard is not the small gate in the wall, but the mimicry cultivation room.

"Your martial soul is Dragon Blood, which focuses on soul abilities in addition to blood. The Royal Academy has designed a special simulation training room for you to target your martial soul."

Leading Lin Yu to pay the bill, Xue Qinghe proudly introduced the extraordinary nature of this simulated cultivation room in a secret room in the south corner of the courtyard.

The pride on the other person's face piqued Lin Yu's interest, and silently, Lin Yu's consciousness spread into the secret room.

But the moment his consciousness touched the door of the secret room, it was blocked by something like mental energy.

"Curious? If you are, open the door and take a look."

Xue Qinghe stood silently to the side with his hands behind his back, leaving the opportunity to open the door to Lin Yu.

Almost instinctively, Lin Yu felt that Xue Qinghe's action was definitely a trap!

But since I've come to the academy and am living next to Xueqing River, what kind of pitfalls could there be?

While remaining vigilant, Lin Yu stepped forward and carefully opened the door to the secret room.

The moment the door to the secret room was opened a crack, Lin Yu felt a sharp pain in her palm.

The stinging sensation from the partridge wasn't a real feeling, but rather Lin Yu's mental energy, covering his palm, was the first to sense the abnormality.

An extremely strong sense of mental pressure formed within the training ground!

As long as it's not physical damage, then it's not a big problem!

With this thought in mind, Lin Yu decisively opened the door to the cultivation room.

As Lin Yu opened the door, she met the gaze of a pair of menacing, golden, vertical pupils.

In an instant, a thought filled with killing, brutality, resentment, madness... rushed into Lin Yu's mind.

Accompanying this thought were one inhuman roar and howl after another.

The voice was not human, but its meaning was clearly transmitted into Lin Yu's mind.

"A bunch of selfish cowards, you think you can kill me and absorb my spirit rings?"

"So what if this era no longer belongs to the dragons? Do you really think you're the masters of this era?"

"A bunch of pathetic bloodsuckers! Let me show you the pride of our Golden Dragon clan!"

Lin Yu seemed to have experienced a counterattack of consciousness from a dying soul beast!

Its violent consciousness even shattered part of Lin Yu's consciousness in an instant.

However, Lin Yu's deep consciousness is hidden within his bones, and even if the consciousness outside the bones is shattered, it can be quickly repaired.

After regaining his senses, Lin Yu finally understood why the eldest prince had asked him to open the door. It turned out he had been planning a trap for him!

If it were when he had just obtained his third soul ring, before he had experienced possession or mastered the technique of storing souls within bones, this soul attack formed by obsession could have truly given him a rude awakening.

But he is not the same person he used to be!

Consciousness rushes into the sea of ​​consciousness, shatters the sea of ​​consciousness, and then reassembles in the sea of ​​consciousness, as if consciousness has been scattered.

The whole process did not take too long.

When Lin Yu turned to look at Xue Qinghe, she could still see the corners of his mouth that had just turned up and hadn't been suppressed yet.

Xue Qinghe was absolutely certain that Lin Yu had lost consciousness for a moment, which meant that the arrangement inside the room had not failed, and that the pair of eyes that could release the suspense of dragon-type soul beasts had indeed played a role.

In other words, Lin Yu was able to recover so quickly simply because his mental strength was high enough.

It seems that this guy, who is obsessed with forging all day long, has not neglected his cultivation.

Xue Qinghe did not reveal the storm raging within him; he merely showed a hint of surprise at just the right moment.

"The pair of golden vertical pupils inside the room were drawn by a Soul Douluo powerhouse using the blood and bones of a ten-thousand-year-old golden dragon after grinding and mixing."

"The first time I met its gaze, I could clearly feel the golden dragon's ferocity and resentment as it died. The fact that you recovered so quickly shows your strong mental fortitude!"

Faced with Xue Qinghe's praise, Lin Yu smiled shyly.

Lin Yu really wanted to say something in defense, but seeing everything in her simulated training ground, she forgot how to start.

He had learned about the simulated training ground of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy a long time ago, and at that time he had wondered what his own simulated training ground would be like.

After all, his expertise lies in qi and blood, and soul; you can't exactly dig a blood pool for him.

Lin Yu realized he was wrong after seeing the simulated training ground that Xue Qinghe had arranged for him.

His simulated training ground was not a bloody pool; on the contrary, it was quite clean.

It's so clean it's almost creepy!

(I revised the earlier part in the early morning, deleting the section where the protagonist and Liu Erlong talked about their feelings. I also deleted the part where Ghost Douluo assigned the protagonist the task of drugging him, and changed it to Bibi Dong directly knocking out the protagonist and the fire dragon.)

There are also some details: Later in the story, the fire dragon needs to appear, so the medicine at Chrysanthemum Pass was changed to one that would induce a physiological attraction between the two. However, to ensure the fire dragon's successful corruption, Bibi Dong gave it both doses of the medicine to the dragon. The ancient herb that was originally supposed to be given to the protagonist by Ghost Douluo was instead given to the protagonist by Bibi Dong.

Because there's still a lot of content to be done, some readers might find the text a bit disorganized during the revision process. Here's a summary.
