Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 197 Parting Ways

Although it might be a bit unfair to Gu Yue, in Leng Yaozhu's eyes, Fors is simply a supercharged, high-end version of Gu Yue.

"No. After all, joining an organization is a lifelong matter." Fors shook her head.

"Okay! Then go back and think it over carefully. This is my contact number. Call this number whenever you want to join the Spirit Tower."

If Tang Wulin said he needed to think about it, Leng Yaozhu would only smile and tell them to think it over carefully, but she would never give them her contact number.

But Fors is different; her talent is worth Leng Yaozhu's investment. When she joins the Spirit Pagoda through her channels, she will naturally be labeled as belonging to her faction.

Then, if you express a little bit of your willingness to take on apprentices, why would the other party not take the bait?

With Gu Yue in my left hand and Fors in my right, dominating the Spirit Pagoda will be just around the corner. Ahem, I'm getting ahead of myself. Dominating the Spirit Pagoda is impossible, after all, it's an organization jointly built and managed by various families, sects, and even members of the Federation.

If someone truly wants to dominate the Spirit Pagoda, the Spirit Pagoda will likely be disbanded the very next day. Major sects, organizations, and even the Federation would never agree to the Spirit Pagoda becoming the property of one person.

However, although they cannot dominate the Spirit Pagoda, it is still easy for them to strengthen their faction's voice.

"Yes, thank you, senior." Fors reached out and took the business card from Leng Yaozhu's hand, which contained Leng Yaozhu's soul communication number.

"Hmm, it's alright. Let's settle the bill then." Leng Yaozhu smiled and then said to Xu Xiaoyan and Yuanen Yehui.

Checkout? Yes! You have to pay to obtain souls in the Soul Tower, but it's only half price.

Xu Xiaoyan asked, "Senior, how much does my Ice Bear Soul Spirit cost?"

Leng Yaozhu said, "Yours will cost ten million Federal Credits. The King Kong Baboon will cost thirty million Federal Credits. Hmm, this is already discounted."

Hearing this number, Nan Fusheng was not surprised. After all, the lowest price for a thousand-year-old soul spirit is ten million federal coins, and that's for those soul spirits that have just reached the thousand-year mark.

Whether it's the Ice Bear or the Golden Baboon, their cultivation levels are at least three thousand years or more, and they also possess top-tier bloodline bonuses. Ten million and thirty million are indeed reasonable prices.

However, Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui were taken aback. The former was simply surprised because of his greed, while the latter was surprised by the price of the King Kong Baboon's soul spirit, since she was now completely self-reliant.

Leng Yaozhu smiled and said, "You think it's expensive? The ones you've chosen are all top-tier among thousand-year-old souls. Or rather, every soul in the Soul Tower has been carefully selected and cultivated by our Spirit Transmission Tower over thousands of years."

Losing one means replacing another, which requires manpower, resources, and money—your current funds aren't even enough to cover the costs. The main purpose of establishing the Soul Tower is to build positive relationships with promising Soul Masters.

If you're simply buying soul spirits, the price will be different. But don't worry, you can pay the difference within a month.

"Thank you, senior." Everyone bowed in greeting.

Leng Yaozhu nodded. "Yue'er, take them away." After saying that, the important figure from the Spirit Pagoda turned and left.

……

Back at the academy, Nan Fusheng's daily life took on another task: supervising Fors's cultivation.

To be honest, he usually let Fors do whatever he wanted, but after discovering that Fors was wandering around every day and not showing any signs of cultivating, Nan Fusheng decided to urge him to cultivate properly.

Look at Shenwei and Lufa. Shenwei has now successfully broken through level 40 and become a Soul Master.

Lu Fa has also reached level 39 and is now charging towards level 40. With the terrifying energy-devouring power of the Behemoth Martial Soul, he will probably break through again soon.

Only Fors is still stuck at level 42 and doesn't actively cultivate. Look at all the other Scroll Kings around you; it's amazing you can stay idle in this kind of atmosphere.

Back then, she was able to break through to level 40 so quickly thanks to Nan Fusheng's financial support. And now, with such excellent resources right in front of you, you want to slack off? No way! Go and cultivate obediently!

So, over the next month, Nan Fusheng kept urging Fors to cultivate, and she finally succeeded in breaking through to the next level. Although during this process, Fors often scolded him for being "a devil with no humanity".

This made Nan Fusheng sigh, raising a child is really difficult!

Meanwhile, a minor incident occurred in Class 1 of the freshmen: Tang Wulin and Gu Yue had a falling out with Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing.

The reason for this was that Tang Wulin learned fusion forging. Fusion forging is a technique that only level six blacksmiths learn; it involves melting different metals together. In simpler terms, it's alloy making.

However, unlike ordinary alloys, alloys forged by blacksmiths differ from those machine-processed alloys. Blacksmith-forged alloys far surpass the latter in quality, perfectly showcasing the inherent properties of the metal.

Because Tang Wulin currently lacks sufficient soul power, it's virtually impossible for him to undergo spirit forging. Therefore, his other teacher at Shrek Academy, the Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wuyu, taught him the technique of fusion forging in advance.

After successfully forging the alloy, Tang Wulin immediately took the spirit alloy to Le Zhengyu, who was also a work-study student, hoping to exchange it for the spiritual items needed to break the seal by selling the spirit alloy to him.

Meanwhile, Le Zhengyu, the young master of a wealthy family, also wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Tang Wulin, the promising blacksmith. Thus, it was a case of one willing to give and the other willing to receive.

During this time, Tang Wulin discovered that Yue Zhengyu wanted to create a one-word battle armor using spirit alloy, which greatly inspired him.

The battle armor made from ordinary first-grade metal will have to be completely replaced when they need to upgrade to second-grade battle armor.

However, if a one-word battle armor is forged based on a spirit alloy, then the battle armor can be directly integrated into the body, and can be summoned directly from within the body when needed.

In the future, this battle armor can be used as a base to upgrade and forge other metals, allowing for further advancement without needing to be replaced.

Tang Wulin even planned to forge it with a spirit alloy with a fusion rate of over 90%, so that in the future they could even use it as a basis to directly advance to a three-word battle armor.

It's important to know that once the fusion rate reaches 60% or higher, new metals can be added. For every 5% increase, one more metal can be added, and at 90% or higher, up to eight metals can be added.

Such a far-fetched idea could hardly possibly gain the approval of Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing. Although they didn't intend to design mechs, but rather to design battle armor for the competition, that was based on the possibility of success.

According to Tang Wulin's plan, once they start forging and designing, there will be no turning back. The potential gains are great, but the risks are even greater.

Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing clearly had no intention of taking any risks, since with their talent, it was still very likely that they would become Battle Armor Masters before the age of twenty-five.

Therefore, both of them directly opposed it, but Gu Yue strongly supported Tang Wulin. At this point, the already strained team completely disbanded.
