Douluo Continent: The Legend of the Dragon King? No, the Legend of the Six Kings!

Lin Nuo nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood. He had originally intended to pay, but seeing that the restaurant owner insisted on not accepting the money, he had no choice but to give up.

As for the captain of the military mecha squadron, Guang Biao, a six-ring Soul Emperor, Lin Nuo really didn't take him seriously. He had Wu Changkong, Teacher Mu Chen, and the Demon King protecting him from the shadows.

If that Guangbiao really dares to bully the weak, he will likely never return.

"Are you coming too?" Lin Nuo turned around and asked Gu Yue and the other person curiously.

Gu Yue simply nodded, her eyes conveying a clear meaning. Zheng Yiran then said, "Yes, I really want to see just how amazing you are, having been accepted as disciples by Master Mu Chen."

Zheng Yiran was really curious about Lin Nuo and Tang Wuling. She wondered if their forging talents were as extraordinary as their martial souls and cultivation talents. However, once she saw it, her Dao heart might collapse again.

"Alright." Lin Nuo nodded and led Tang Wuling and the two behind him toward the East Sea City Forging Association.

They were completely unaware that trouble was about to come knocking.

In a luxurious ward on the top floor of Donghai City Hospital, Guanglong lay quietly on the hospital bed.

A man in military uniform stood beside the hospital bed. Seeing his brother in this state, his eyes were filled with anger and ferocity.

This man is Guanglong's older brother, Guangbiao, the captain of the mecha brigade of the Donghai City military, and a sixth-ring Soul Emperor!

He knew that his younger brother was arrogant and domineering, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and relying on his own power to run rampant in the city, despite his own ordinary strength and arrogance.

So what? He was powerful enough to pave the way for his younger brother. He angrily declared, "Investigate! Let's see which fool dares to mess with me, Guangbiao Tai Sui!"

At the Donghai City Forging Association, Mu Chen was already waiting at the entrance for his two beloved apprentices. When he saw Lin Nuo and Tang Wuling appear, along with the two women behind them, especially Zheng Yiran, he was dumbfounded.

Shouldn't Yi Ran be staying in Shrek City? Why did she come to East Sea City?

Could it be that the old snake knows about this too?

Leng Yulai said she wanted to keep it a secret, so how come so many people know?

"Long time no see, Uncle Mu Chen." Zheng Yiran greeted him immediately when she saw that Mu Chen recognized her.

"Hmm, long time no see." Mu Chen calmed his inner turmoil and nodded, looking at Lin Nuo and Tang Wuling: "Let's go, Nuo, Wuling, let's begin today's forging!"

"Okay, teacher."

The two nodded; they couldn't wait.

They followed Mu Chen to the association's exclusive forging room, which had been specially arranged for them. They were allowed to take the rare metal blanks themselves, and then they began forging. Mu Chen would point out any problems that arose during the forging process.

Lin Nuo picked out a piece of rare metal. Instead of forging it immediately, he began to think about it. He imagined creating a piece of life metal, just like he created the Ice Emperor's body in the small world.

He swiftly drew his forging hammer, instantly channeling the power of time into it. Gu Yue witnessed this, her lazy gaze finally turning serious as she inquired, "Arno, what material do you intend to forge using your power of time?"

clang!

With a single hammer blow, Lin Nuo began the thousand-fold forging process.

The process of refining a thousand times is a qualitative change. Qi and blood, and soul power are continuously poured in, and the laws of time are firmly locked inside the metal.

Mu Chen sensed something and stared intently at the hammer in Lin Nuo's hand. He felt unfamiliar with the aura just now, but he was all too familiar with the feeling that gave the hammer its properties.

With each strike of Lin Nuo's hammer, the metal changed, as if time were flowing backward, or as if it were returning to its original state.

The entire piece of metal is covered with neat rings of annual growth patterns. Each ring is a time imprint left by your every infusion of the laws of time. That's right, this piece of metal is becoming the shape of your time.

Watching Lin Nuo's forging speed and the changes in the metal, Zheng Yiran couldn't help but gape and exclaim, "This guy is a monster!"

How could someone have such terrifying forging talent in addition to their own martial soul talent? Although I don't understand it, it looks really awesome!

Lin Nuo soon discovered that the time metal he was forging was beginning to respond to him; the power of the time law was accelerating his soul power cultivation. Although not by much, it made him realize how terrifying his time attribute was when used for forging.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang...

With each hammer blow, the terrifying time-related properties frantically enchanted the metal. After an unknown amount of time, when Lin Nuo delivered the final hammer blow, the metal underwent a complete transformation.

A piece of metal of the same volume but far heavier than the smelting silver appeared before him and the others observing from a distance. The metal had ring-like patterns on it, and it looked incredibly soft. Lin Nuo reached out and used his soul power to activate it, and faint golden patterns appeared on the metal, which were the marks left by the power of time.

It might not be that mature yet, but after sensing it, he found it interesting that if this piece of metal were forged into armor or similar items, it would bring great benefits to the beneficiary, such as reversing the aging of one's own vital energy and repairing hidden injuries.

This is the effect of metal that has been forged through countless processes.

It has a fatal flaw: apart from being able to reverse the aging of one's own blood and qi, repair hidden injuries, and restore soul power, it has no other effects.

If used by oneself, the time attribute of one's own martial soul will be greatly enhanced.

However, the effects of the thousand-times-forging technique were too ordinary and not suitable for him.

"Xiao Nuo, how are you?"

At this moment, Mu Chen came to Lin Nuo and asked curiously, while his gaze quietly looked at the piece of metal in Lin Nuo's hand. He vaguely felt that this piece of thousand-refined metal was very unusual.

Lin Nuo briefly explained the effects of his metal: "Teacher, the armor I forged from this metal can only help the wearer reverse the aging of their own blood and qi, repair hidden injuries, and replenish consumed soul power. It has no other effects."

When Mu Chen heard this, he was completely dumbfounded. "Xiao Nuo, do you want to hear what you just said?"

It's ridiculous that you can reverse the aging of your own blood and qi, repair hidden injuries, and consume your soul power. You have no other effects. If you say that out loud, how many people will criticize you?

Upon hearing this, Lin Nuo knew what his teacher was shocked about, and said helplessly, "This is only a thousand-refinement material, which may only have some effect on those below the Soul King level. The effect will gradually decrease for those above that level."

"That's already quite remarkable."

Mu Chen looked at Lin Nuo in front of him with a complicated expression, and said helplessly, "Little Nuo, you may not know how terrifying the effect will be with your genius mind. In the eyes of ordinary people, no! I should say in the eyes of those rich people, your material is enough to sell for an astronomical price."

Zheng Yiran, who was in the distance, was completely dumbfounded. She glanced at Gu Yue, who was unusually calm, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you shocked, Gu Yue?"

"Actually, I know him quite well. I've even collected his previous forging data, so I'm not too surprised."

"Collecting his past forging data?!" Zheng Yiran stared wide-eyed at Gu Yue, unable to help but take a step back. Perhaps Tang Wuling was right, this guy might really be a pervert!

Tang Wuling, who was forging nearby, was working diligently and had no idea what had happened to Lin Nuoge.
