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

Chapter 302 The Three-Legged Golden Toad

Zhenhua smiled calmly, "It seems some people don't want me to live!"

Makino said thoughtfully, "That person's ability is very peculiar. His soul power is amplified by his own blood energy. I can't tell what his martial soul is. It's a bit strange."

At this moment, Lu Fa suddenly spoke up, saying, "Could it be an evil spirit master?"

"An evil spirit master?" Mu Ye frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "Possibly. If it's an evil spirit master, it makes sense. The minds of those madmen are always different from ordinary people."

Dang Hongchen also spoke up, saying, "In recent years, evil soul masters have become increasingly active, causing destruction and terrorist attacks everywhere. The entire alliance is now cracking down on them. However, we didn't expect them to dare to attack the Divine Craftsman. The fact that evil soul masters dare to come out of seclusion clearly means they have something to rely on; there must be a powerful figure among them."

As a member of the Hongchen family, Dang Hongchen clearly possessed a great deal of intelligence. He even vaguely knew that there seemed to be quite a few people in the Federation who were secretly connected with evil soul masters. However, he did not reveal this information.

"An evil spirit master? Very well! I've never fought an evil spirit master before." Zhenhua smiled, then looked at Lu Fa and said solemnly, "I really have to thank you for this. If it weren't for that punch you gave my teacher, he would probably be seriously injured, if not dead."

Lufa scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Of course, I subconsciously felt threatened, so I acted instinctively."

"You don't need to be modest towards this guy." At this moment, Mu Ye said, "Being able to completely trust your instincts and act subconsciously. Not many soul masters can do that. Even I was a beat slow to react back then."

For that old guy Zhenhua, this is practically a life-saving favor. What, aren't you going to do something in return?" The last sentence was spoken by Mu Ye to Zhenhua.

To everyone's surprise, Zhenhua spread his hands and said to Muye, "Do you even need to tell me that? But my apprentice has almost nothing he needs! Whatever he wants, I just let him take it himself. Now I don't know what to give him."

Then Zhenhua looked at Lufa and said generously, "Is there anything you want lately? As long as it's something your teacher can get, I'll definitely get it for you."

"No need, teacher. I only came to Tiandou City to relax. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Zhenhua nodded. "That's true. Young people can't always be working in isolation. They need to relax a bit. Otherwise, always being on edge isn't a good thing."

Then, Zhenhua, rubbing his aching lower abdomen, complained to Lu Fa, "Disciple, next time you strike, remember to hold back a little. Your teacher's future was almost ruined by you just now."

Zhenhua wasn't lying. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, while Lufa was only a little over 1.6 meters. His instinctive punch landed almost directly on Zhenhua's lower abdomen, very close to his vital point.

Life is precious, but the rest of your life is just as important!

Looking at Lu Fa's height of only a little over 1.6 meters, Zhen Hua tentatively asked, "Disciple, your teacher has quite a few rare and precious herbs that can increase height. I wonder if you are interested? Don't worry, there are absolutely no side effects."

In the Douluo Continent, due to the existence of soul power, even soul masters who are only in their teens develop very quickly. Male soul masters are generally tall, while female soul masters are slender.

Just like Lin Yuhan, who is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is already over 1.7 meters tall.

Long Chen of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a prime example. At only fifteen years old, he is already nearly 1.9 meters tall, and after being equipped with the Bright Holy Dragon Martial Soul, he has reached over two meters.

Lufa is fourteen years old this year, but he is only a little over 1.6 meters tall. Perhaps it is due to the influence of the Behemoth bloodline that Lufa's development is a bit slow.

That's why when he threw the punch, it landed squarely on Zhenhua's lower abdomen.

Mu Ye glanced at Lu Fa's height, coughed, and said, "Our sect's secret technique lies in stimulating the body's own potential, which can also help with increasing height. As long as you cultivate diligently, you might be able to grow another twenty centimeters."

Because Lu Fa frequently visited Zhenhua, Mu Ye had many opportunities to meet him. After becoming familiar with Lu Fa, one afternoon, Mu Ye confronted him, asking if he had any ambitions to join the Body Sect.

Although he had already let go of the sect's rules in his heart, Mu Ye still wanted to try to see if he could bring Lu Fa under his own sect.

As expected, Lufa rejected him outright and expressed his ambition to join the military's high command in the future.

Upon receiving this news, Makino was overjoyed and immediately told Lu Fa that joining the military and joining a sect were not mutually exclusive.

Currently, many high-ranking officials in the Federation are from the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect, or even Shrek Academy. Therefore, joining the Body Sect does not conflict with his goals.

Seeing the expectant look in Mu Ye's eyes, Lu Fa ultimately did not refuse him and joined the Body Sect.

After that, Mu Ye began to vigorously cultivate Lu Fa, and even passed on the Body Sect's secret techniques, the innate secret method, to Lu Fa.

"Thanks for the explanation. I'll be going now." Lu Fa ended the topic expressionlessly. Who knows what they might bring up if they kept talking!

He's only fourteen years old, right in the middle of his physical growth, so how come these two people make it sound like his height will never increase?

"Go ahead, but don't stray too far from the association. Although the attacker may have escaped, it's possible he might still be in Tian Dou City." Zhenhua gave him this special instruction before he left.

……

At the entrance of the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City, Lu Fa and Dang Hongchen reappeared.

"The evil spirit masters these days are too rampant. They actually dared to attack the divine craftsman Zhenhua in full view of everyone, and they still haven't been apprehended. Perhaps we should return to the academy first."

As soon as they stepped out of the association's gate, Dang Hongchen couldn't help but speak to Lu Fa, as the attack had truly frightened him. He wasn't confident he could protect Lu Fa if he were attacked by a Super Douluo.

Not to mention, the attacker is still at large. In Dang Hongchen's view, Tiandou City is no longer very safe.

"Teacher Dang, do you think there's a high chance we'll encounter the attacker if we leave the city now?" Lu Fa asked directly.

"This..." Upon hearing Lu Fa's words, Dang Hongchen rested his chin on one hand and actually began to think about it. Then he said seriously, "It is indeed possible. I will contact my father now and ask him to come and pick us up."

As he spoke, Dang Hongchen pulled out his communicator, ready to dial Ao Hongchen's number. Lu Fa had only mentioned it casually, but he had actually begun to consider the possibilities.

Because Lu Fa had just saved Zhen Hua's life, thwarting the attackers' plans, he might have become a target.

They might not be able to assassinate the master craftsman, but they could certainly do something like bullying the weak, given the opponent's suspected identity as an evil soul master.

The entire Heaven Dou City is now in a state of panic. If we leave the city now, the chances of encountering that evil soul master are indeed quite high.

That's why he wanted to call Ao Hongchen over. With Ao Hongchen's strength, if that evil soul master really dared to make a move, they would definitely make sure he never returned.

"The other side is here." Suddenly, a voice echoed in Lu Fa's mind, sharpening his gaze.

Looking at Dang Hongchen's serious expression, Lu Fa sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "Teacher Dang, it's a bit late for you to call now. The other side has already gotten to our side."

Then, Lu Fa's gaze sharpened, and five black spirit rings appeared beneath his feet. Having cultivated at the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Master Academy for more than half a year, he was already a Spirit King.

A platinum-gold light appeared on his right claw, and Lu Fa swung it backward while shouting, "Teacher Dang, be careful!"

"Huh?" A cold voice suddenly rang out behind them, followed by a scarlet light that directly negated the platinum light.

"Such sharp claws, such abundant qi and blood power. It was definitely the right choice to ambush them here."

The owner of the voice appeared, completely covered up in a gray outfit and a hood, revealing only his eyes. His eyes were also gray, but his pupils were red, making him look extremely eerie.

"This is the headquarters of the Blacksmiths' Guild. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now."

The moment Lu Fa spoke, Dang Hongchen instinctively activated his Martial Soul, manifesting eight Soul Rings: four purple and four black. He then donned his Three-Word Battle Armor, shielding Lu Fa behind him and watching him warily.

Dang Hongchen had no intention of fighting the other party, who was a Super Douluo-level powerhouse, and he didn't think he could defeat him.

However, this is the Blacksmiths' Association. He only needs to hold off the opponent for a moment until Makino above reacts. Right now, the priority is to keep the opponent calm.

"You're right, this isn't a good place to talk. Let's find another place." A crimson light shone brightly, a thick smell of blood appeared, and then a powerful pressure emerged, pressing heavily on Dang Hongchen.

The evil spirit master had no intention of wasting time with Dang Hongchen; his only target was Lu Fa.

"Domain!" Dang Hongchen was stunned by the powerful pressure, and a chill ran through his heart. This pressure that held him back was not only the suppression of the opponent's soul power, but also a domain.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!"

Dang Hongchen roared angrily. He would never let the other party take Lu Fa away. Lu Fa was the future star of their Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

If they really let the other party take Lu Fa away, not to mention whether his father would let him off, he himself would not forgive himself. That was his student!

The seventh soul ring on Dang Hongchen's body lit up, followed by a golden light that also emerged from his body, forcing the scarlet light back a bit. Three-word battle armor domain aura: Floating Life Ten Thousand Blades.

This is an ability unique to three-word battle armor: Domain Aura.

Dang Hongchen's martial soul is one of the two top-tier beast martial souls inherited by the Hongchen family: the Three-Legged Golden Toad. With the amplification of his martial soul true form and the Three-Word Battle Armor, Dang Hongchen was even able to briefly fight against a Super Douluo.

The evil spirit master snorted coldly, his scarlet eyes suddenly blazing with light, and a burst of intense blood-red light erupted from his body. With a wave of his right hand, a blood sword appeared out of thin air in his grasp.

"It really was him!"

Dang Hongchen's pupils contracted; it was the very sword that had just ambushed Zhenhua. If that's the case, then the opponent must be a Super Douluo.

Second Soul Skill: Boiling Gold.

Fourth Soul Ring: Sacrifice of Gold.

Without the slightest hesitation, Dang Hongchen immediately activated his first two soul skills. Although these two soul skills were both thousand-year-old soul skills, they were the core soul skills of the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul.

Boiling Metal: Allows the user's soul power to boil, increasing the power of the soul power used in this state, accelerating the use of other soul skills, greatly increasing the ability to control metal in a short period of time, and absorbing, controlling, and utilizing the metal element in the air.

Sacrifice of Gold: Burns one's own soul power to greatly increase the power of soul tools/soul skills. The degree of increase is related to the amount of soul power sacrificed; burns controlled metal/metal elements to cause a lot of damage/restore one's own soul power.

This is the power of the top-tier martial soul: the Three-Legged Golden Toad. In the blink of an eye, Dang Hongchen transformed into a soul-guided turret, his body surging with golden light, and beams of soul-guided rays continuously erupted from his body, shooting towards the evil soul master.

"Tsk, what a troublesome guy."

The evil spirit master never expected that Dang Hongchen would be so crazy. They were on the street, and the other party still dared to attack like this! Weren't they afraid of accidentally hurting other people?

"However, the more you do this, the more it shows how much you value that kid. If you arrest him, you won't have to worry about Zhenhua not listening to us."

Centered on the evil spirit master's body, countless red dots appeared in the sky. At first, they were just dots, but soon they enlarged, looking like cold and merciless blood-red eyes.

A surge of intense and dense blood energy erupted wildly. Immediately afterwards, thousands of beams of blood-red light shot out from those blood-red eyes, directly suppressing the soul-guiding rays of the Red Dust Sect.

"Come here, kid!"

One of the blood-red rays transformed into the figure of an evil soul master as it approached the Red Dust Realm, and then its left hand reached out directly to grab Lu Fa.

He didn't want to waste time here with Dang Hongchen, otherwise it would be troublesome once the higher-ups realized what was happening.

"Buzz—"

"What?!"

As the evil spirit master's left hand approached Lu Fa, a golden light rose from his body, directly repelling his hand.

"A level nine defensive soul tool!"

The evil spirit master gritted his teeth and spat out those words. Yes, what was glowing on Lu Fa's body was a defensive soul tool, and a level nine one at that.

Although the emergence of battle armor has greatly diminished the status of soul tools, no one can deny their power.
