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

Chapter 336 Explanation and Analysis

Upon hearing Fang'er's words, the people of the Star Luo Empire who were watching the Soul Guidance Screen fell silent for a moment, and then erupted in uproar once again.

The people of the Star Luo Continent, who highly value individual heroism, are naturally familiar with powerful enhancement tools like battle armor. Furthermore, the status of blacksmiths here is far higher than on the Douluo Continent.

The blacksmith association here is no less impressive in scale than that of Douluo Continent. However, because there are no Divine Craftsmen, the Saint Craftsmen are already the highest-ranking blacksmiths here.

Perhaps due to the influence of bloodline power, low-level blacksmiths are a dime a dozen on the Star Luo Continent. Basically, all those who possess beast martial souls have some blacksmithing skills.

Of course, bloodline can be both a blessing and a curse.

In the Star Luo Continent, once the number of blacksmiths reaches level five, they become extremely rare, not to mention level six blacksmiths.

In the process of awakening the spirit in metal and forging it, the blacksmiths on the Star Luo Continent are far inferior to those on the Douluo Continent. This difference lies not only in technique but also in the profound and mysterious understanding required.

Because of this, the price of spirit-forged and spirit-fused alloys in the Star Luo Continent is much higher than in the Douluo Continent.

As for the Saintly Craftsmen, needless to say, if you could gather a double-digit number of Saintly Craftsmen across the entire Star Luo Continent, you would be burning incense in gratitude.

At the same time, in terms of forging technology, Star Luo Continent is far inferior to Douluo Continent.

Just like in the Douluo Continent, in the past, when the old master craftsmen passed away and the new master craftsmen had not yet appeared, as long as several master craftsmen were willing to join forces, they could still barely work together to forge Heavenly Forged Metal.

Even though they cannot compare with metals forged by true master craftsmen in terms of spirituality and ultimate power, they can still work together to forge Heavenly Forged Metal.

(As mentioned in the original work, in an era when master craftsmen were not prominent, it would take the combined efforts of several master craftsmen to forge metals. Even if the results were less than ideal, it was still possible to succeed.)

This is something that the people of the Star Luo Continent can never do, even now, there is not a single true four-word battle armor master on the Star Luo Continent.

Oh, no, that's not right either. Saint Dragon Douluo Enci is a four-word battle armor master. However, his battle armor was something he had put a lot of effort into, and it took him thirty years, even with his Limit Douluo cultivation level, to barely reach the level of a four-word battle armor.

It's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.

On the Star Luo Continent, the status and strategic significance of a Saint Craftsman are absolutely comparable to, or even far surpass, that of a Title Douluo.

As long as you are a master craftsman, even the Star Luo Emperor will definitely treat you with great hospitality.

Now Fang'er actually said that a fourteen-year-old boy not only defeated seven one-word battle armor masters, but was also a holy craftsman.

Even those who trusted Fang'er's reputation began to have doubts. Especially those who were very familiar with Soul Masters understood what this meant.

Is this really something a human could do? A fourteen-year-old Saint Craftsman—they wouldn't even dare to dream of it! Is his cultivation level really sufficient for Soul Forging?

"I know that you viewers might find it hard to believe. In fact, even I was a little incredulous when I received this information. However, this information is absolutely true."

We also contacted members of the delegations who had visited Douluo Continent to confirm the veracity of this matter; there is no doubt about its authenticity.

When Lu Fa challenged the entire Shrek Academy, it was broadcast live across the entire continent. Such a thing couldn't be hidden even if one wanted to. It wouldn't be difficult for the Star Luo delegations that went to Douluo Continent to obtain this information.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. The information I just shared was to give the viewers a better understanding of the Lu Fa player. I've also done a detailed analysis of both players' situations."

Fang'er's next words were even more shocking: "Therefore, my conclusion is that Hua Lantang is inferior to this contestant from the distant Douluo Continent in terms of talent and strength."

It took Fang'er a lot of courage to say those words, because she was likely to face widespread condemnation. People who side with sentiment rather than reason are never a minority anywhere. But she said it anyway, and she said it with great conviction.

Fang'er even slightly favored Hua Lantang. After all, she was from the Star Luo Continent, and she couldn't just say that Hua Lantang was no match for Lu Fa.

"Now, let's briefly analyze today's match. Although the match was short, we can still see the performance of both players."

The video started playing, and Fang'er began to explain each of Hua Lantang's soul skills, as well as the effects and functions of releasing them. Finally, the screen stopped at the moment when Hua Lantang summoned his battle armor.

"This is the turning point of the match, the crucial turning point. Without a doubt, Hua Lantang has been suppressed by Lu Fa from beginning to end. But why did he inexplicably vomit blood and collapse after releasing his battle armor?"

Here, I can give a definitive answer: Hua Lantang's defeat to Lu Fa was absolutely not due to a relapse of some old illness.

The scene shifted to slow motion, replaying the moment Hua Lantang summoned his battle armor and Lu Fa walking towards him. After eight steps, Hua Lantang coughed up blood and collapsed. Even after watching it again, many people were still bewildered and impressed.

"To be honest, just looking at the footage, it's probably hard for everyone to tell what Lu Fa did. So, let's turn our attention to Hua Lantang."

In the slow-motion footage, the camera suddenly shifts to Hua Lantang, and his face is zoomed in.

When Lu Fa took his first step, Hua Lantang didn't show any change. But when he took his fourth step, it was clear from the scene that Hua Lantang's expression changed for a split second.

When Lu Fa took the seventh step, everyone could pass. From the slow-motion footage, it could be seen that Hua Lantang's face had turned red, as if he was under tremendous pressure.

As he took the eighth step, a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Hua Lantang's mouth. Just as he was about to take the ninth step, Hua Lantang finally coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

"Yes, Hua Lantang didn't have any old injuries. He was defeated by Lu Fa using combat techniques. On the surface, Hua Lantang did summon his battle armor. However, during the process of putting on the battle armor, Lu Fa seized the opportunity and launched an attack on him."

He appeared to be walking normally, but it was actually a combat technique, likely a self-created soul skill. However, considering he attacked while Hua Lantang was wearing his battle armor, it's clear this self-created soul skill is still incomplete. At the very least, it can be interrupted.

Otherwise, if Hua Lantang had donned his battle armor, even Lu Fa wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily.

"Therefore, in conclusion, Hua Lantang's loss was not unjust; in a sense, he lost to himself. As for whether he could have defeated Lu Fa if he had released his battle armor from the beginning or been more cautious during the battle..."

I won't analyze such unknown matters, but one thing is certain: Lu Fa definitely held back most of his strength. His martial soul is still a mystery. His soul power level is also unknown; hopefully, the upcoming matches will provide the answers.

I have decided that, starting with this match, I will conduct post-match analysis for every match involving this player from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

"Finally, I hope everyone understands that his ability to defeat Hua Lantang is not a simple coincidence; it is genuine strength. Perhaps in our Star Luo Continent, in terms of talent, only the top king of Monster Academy can rival him."

At the end, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Fang'er actually compared Lu Fa and Long Yue.

This broadcast has ended.

There were shouts and curses, of course, but there were even more people who calmed down.

Fang'er's analysis was indeed reasonable and well-founded. If Lu Fa's achievements were true, then in the Star Luo Continent, the only one who could rival him was probably Long Yue.

No, even if Long Yue were fourteen years old, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat seven One-Word Battle Armor Masters at the same time, right?

Of course, Fang'er didn't specifically point this out. It's acceptable to appropriately provoke the people of the Star Luo Continent, but not too much; this was also what the Star Luo Empire officials told her.

A formidable opponent has arrived. If you continue to fail to give your opponent sufficient respect during the competition, then defeat is likely to be yours.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy members all saw this explanation when they returned to the hotel; they couldn't help but see it, since a Soul Guidance Screen was hanging in the hotel lobby.

"This commentator named Fang'er is definitely a mouthpiece of the Star Luo Empire. He actually pointed out Brother Lu Fa's past achievements and the shortcomings of his soul skills." Zui Hongchen wrinkled his small, delicate nose and said with a dissatisfied expression.

If Fang'er had only analyzed Lu Fa's abilities and recounted his achievements on Douluo Continent, that would have been fine, since such things are difficult to hide.

However, she actually analyzed the shortcomings of Lu Fa's self-created soul skill. If this wasn't authorized by the Star Luo government, she wouldn't believe it.

Even though the Nine Steps to Heaven is a relatively new skill, it's impossible for a mere commentator with only a basic understanding of Soul Masters to pinpoint its flaws after just a few viewings. There's definitely someone from the Star Luo Empire providing guidance behind this.

Xue Liushuang nodded. "This commentator is quite skilled. It seems we need to be more careful in the upcoming matches and keep our skills hidden."

Otherwise, if the opponent discovers more of her secrets, the later matches will be even more difficult. However, given her explanation, the captain's upcoming battles might not be so simple.

"It's alright." Lu Fa nodded slightly. "Even if she points out our flaws, as long as we have absolute strength, no matter what tricks they try, they'll be useless."

The Nine Steps to Heaven was just a newly created soul skill of his, and there was still a lot of room for improvement. Moreover, after a year, his strength had not stagnated.

Both the further development of his Behemoth bloodline and the innate secret techniques of the Body Sect are guarantees of his strength. He also looks forward to encountering an opponent who can make him take things seriously.

The pressure from public opinion, the pressure from the Star Luo Empire's home turf—none of that mattered to him; he could simply crush them with overwhelming force.

The unexpected upsets from the two colleges did not diminish the influence of this year's competition; on the contrary, they intensified it.

Aside from maintaining order, the Star Luo Empire's official stance remained unchanged. Everything proceeded as it was, and they welcomed the outcome.

……

In a room at the Xingluo Hotel.

Lu Fa sat cross-legged on the bed, white-gold and gold light flashing all over his body. Terrifying blood energy swirled around him, and the surrounding air hummed continuously because of this powerful blood energy.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a peculiar force restricting the energy of blood and qi, locking it within Lu Fa's surroundings, thus preventing it from disturbing the other people in the hotel.

The platinum-gold light symbolizes the Behemoth bloodline, while the golden light represents the innate secret technique that Lu Fa cultivates.

"Not bad, you've completely mastered the innate secret technique. Now, even without your martial soul, you can probably hold your own against a one-word battle armor master." On the table in Lu Fa's room, Mu Ye held a large white plate in one hand and looked at Lu Fa with satisfaction.

"Teacher." Lu Fa opened his eyes after cultivating for a while, and when he saw Mu Ye, he immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Hmm, this is a special supplement for you today, a little blue dragon from the deep sea. This thing is extremely rare. It was only during this voyage that Teacher was lucky enough to encounter it deep in the ocean."

Makino nodded, then placed the plate on the table and opened it. Immediately, a fragrant aroma wafted out. Lu Fa only had to smell it to feel his blood and energy stirring.

On the plate was a huge blue lobster, about two meters long. This blue lobster was clearly the deep-sea blue dragon that Muye had mentioned.

"Eat it while it's hot, or it won't taste as good when it gets cold," Makino urged.

"Okay." Lu Fa nodded. Recently, because he had been cultivating the innate secret technique, Mu Ye would bring him a lot of tonics from time to time, so he didn't stand on ceremony and immediately started eating.

He casually broke open the lobster's shell, revealing the incredibly tender pink meat inside. Lu Fa picked up a piece of lobster meat, took a bite, and his mouth was filled with fragrance. It melted in his mouth, so delicious that it made his mouth water.

However, most importantly, when Lu Fa ate it, he immediately felt his blood and qi surge throughout his body. After circulating it slightly, he was able to suppress that feeling.

Lufa looked at the shrimp meat with some surprise. This blue lobster was indeed extraordinary. Even with his current level, he could feel his blood surging after just one bite. The name "Little Blue Dragon" was truly well-deserved.
