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

Chapter 433 The Playful Metal Clone

"Is this what Heavenly Forging is?"

Looking at the metal C before him, Lu Fa began to recall his previous insights. Even if he had taken a shortcut, he had indeed completed the Heavenly Forging!

To succeed on the first attempt at forging is something that probably very few people in the history of blacksmiths have been able to do.

"However, it was ultimately a trick. If I relied solely on my own strength, I would never have been able to forge it successfully."

The tribulation lightning grew stronger as it progressed. Although the elemental tribulation wasn't particularly powerful for someone with the power of divine retribution, without his cultivation level, he couldn't have withstood the tribulation lightning while simultaneously helping the metal transform.

"The power of lightning tribulation can even be devoured by the Behemoth bloodline."

A burst of platinum light suddenly erupted from Lu Fa's body, a symbol of the manifestation of his blood and qi power! In fact, eight-colored lightning flashed faintly, and then was quickly devoured by the platinum light.

The surrounding space seemed to be subtly distorted by this powerful blood energy. Since cultivating the Body Sect's innate secret technique, Lu Fa's blood energy had experienced a rapid surge.

He has mastered the secret technique of his main body for a long time, but he has always been stuck at a certain point. However, just now, under the stimulation of the elemental lightning, his blood and qi have become stronger again!

"Body tempering by lightning tribulation?" A thoughtful look flashed in Lu Fa's eyes. Unfortunately, only with the blessing of divine punishment could he so calmly leave the lightning tribulation to devour.

"We still need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible so that we can absorb the lightning tribulation on our own."

Discovering that the Behemoth bloodline could devour lightning tribulations was an unexpected bonus! However, more importantly, he had completed the Heavenly Forging!

Even if he relied on external forces, the insights he gained upon completion were firmly etched in his mind, something that would not disappear as his cultivation level faded.

"I'm so strong!"

Eight-colored halos flashed alternately, and a somewhat lewd voice rang out. Then the light subsided, and a piece of eight-colored metal appeared in mid-air, its body like liquid metal, constantly expanding and contracting.

"The Servant Saber has arrived, so you're my Master now?"

Soon, as the metal contracted and compressed, the outline of a female human quickly appeared.

She had long, flowing blonde hair, emerald green eyes, and a beautiful face that was striking even without makeup. Despite her petite stature, her tone was incredibly arrogant.

"Master, I'm low on mana and need to replenish it. Please help me replenish it quickly. Otherwise, I'll have to force myself to replenish it."

It was clearly his first successful Heavenly Forging! And he had also successfully discovered another use for the Lightning Tribulation. This should have brought him double the joy, but looking at this tasteless guy, Lu Fa couldn't feel happy at all.

Lufa looked at it and said, "Are you sure you want to stay in this form? You still have a chance to change it now, but if you wait a while, it will be too late."

After the Heavenly Forged Metal is successfully forged, it still needs to be shaped by a blacksmith. Only at the moment the Heavenly Forged Metal is formed can the divine metal be endowed with true power.

Normally, forged metal would solidify instantly the moment it is successfully forged; even a moment's delay wouldn't work.

But as something he forged himself, he still had some understanding of its abilities. Perhaps because of its high intelligence, this thing could actually shape itself.

The shaping process is very important. The blacksmith will shape the metal according to the future user's abilities and requirements for the battle armor. Shaping is not just about the shape, but more importantly, its energy properties.

For example, for a power-type Soul Master, then the God-level metal would be shaped in that direction. Shaping requires a lot of experience and prior preparation.

However, Metal C's unique properties extended this period. If it were to actually take this form, it wouldn't be suitable as a material for battle armor; at best, it would just be a nice-looking Heavenly Forged Metal figurine!

Yes, the kind that can talk.

Since this was Lu Fa's first attempt, he hadn't decided on the design for it yet. In any case, Lu Fa himself wouldn't use it; he would wait until his cultivation truly reached the level of a Title Douluo before creating a four-word battle armor for himself.

Metal C is a Heavenly Forged Metal created by Lu Fa by combining eight elements. It is undoubtedly best suited for Soul Masters who can control multiple elements.

"Let me think about it!"

Metal C's body kept mimicking other forms, sometimes becoming a man, sometimes a woman, and then it began to change in a non-human direction.

Dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, Qiongqi, Taotie—all sorts of wild beast images kept changing, but then quickly returned to their original forms.

"Damn it! These images feel a bit too common. Although it looks imposing, there's something inexplicably unsatisfying about it. I want to be cooler!" Metal C kept complaining, while its body stretched and contracted at different times.

"Then you might as well become the word 'awesome'." Lu Fa looked at it with a strange expression and said kindly, "Just a friendly reminder, your time is running out. If you don't solidify your form soon, your transformation will fail. If all else fails, you can just transform into any piece of battle armor."

No matter what, it's made of Tianduan metal. Even if it wasn't custom-made, it would still be highly sought after if it were out in the open.

Of course, it can also be used by Xia Zheng Leng, or Qian Gu Bu Bai, etc.

"Damn it, I got it!" Metal C roared, and a blinding eight-colored light shone, enveloping its metal body.

"What is this?!" As the light faded, Lufa looked at the creature before him with some surprise.

Its pure white and fluffy feathers shimmered softly in the sunlight, and its curved neck, like a graceful arc, displayed a unique elegance.

With its long neck held high and graceful yet firm steps, it walked towards Lufa, spreading its wings like a roc spreading its wings, and said to Lufa, "Goose, my son!"

"How did you turn into a duck?"

"Go to hell, I'm an elegant white goose!" the white goose retorted without hesitation. Then, with an arrogant gait, it pecked at Lu Fa fiercely.

"Bang—" His mouth collided with Lu Fa's palm, producing a metallic clanging sound, and then Lu Fa felt a sharp pain in his palm.

"Hiss—, you bastard!" Lu Fa swung the goose away with force, sending it flying. He knew very well how strong the goose was.

Its physical body alone is enough to rival the hardness of a three-word battle armor, yet it was easily breached by this big white goose. This thing truly lives up to its reputation as metal forged from eight-colored lightning tribulation; its ability to penetrate defenses is simply terrifying.

"Goose, don't underestimate me!" After being flung away, the big white goose spread its wings and landed steadily, then looked at Lu Fa with a defiant look in its eyes.

As an avatar, it wasn't afraid of being harmed by Lu Fa, especially with its seemingly soft but actually entirely metal-constructed body. It believed that Lu Fa couldn't do anything to it without using the Behemoth Claw, which was why it was so smug.

"Can't you speak normally?"

Lu Fa stared at it speechlessly. If normal Heavenly Forged Metal turned like this, he believed it would have a bit of a verbal tic. But he knew very well what this thing was made of; it was definitely making that sound on purpose.

"No, since things have already turned out this way, then one day, I will make everyone in the world my son, goose goose goose goose~" the big white goose said arrogantly.

"But that's not how geese sound, is it?"

"I don't care. As a piece of Heavenly Forged Metal that has undergone the Eight-Colored Lightning Tribulation, this is how I sound. Besides, what bad thoughts could a piece of metal like me have? As long as I create a good first impression, who would believe that I'm making this sound on purpose?"

Looking at the big white goose with its wings on its hips, making a strange "goose-goose" laugh, Lu Fa couldn't help but admire how playful this guy was. "Let's go then. The area below the association is probably already crowded with spies from various forces. It's time to show our faces."

"Goose~, let's go."

The person and the goose walked towards the elevator.

……

"Ding—" The elevator descended from the rooftop to the floor where Zhenhua's office was located. This elevator could only descend to this floor at most, because it was a direct elevator connecting the rooftop and the upper floors.

"They're here."

At the elevator entrance, Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen watched the elevator stop, their eyes revealing a hint of worry. The consumption of Heavenly Forging was considerable; they had witnessed the weakened state of those who had undergone Zhenhua Heavenly Forging. Not to mention the Heavenly Forging they had just witnessed, which was clearly of an extremely high level.

"Ding—" Another ding sounded, and the elevator doors opened.

"Zhenhua, you bastard..."

"Goose, son!"

Before Mu Chen could finish speaking, the big white goose pounced on his face and started scratching him wildly.

"What the hell is that?!"

A powerful burst of soul power suddenly erupted from Mu Chen's body, and nine soul rings appeared: two yellow, two purple, and five black. He was originally a Soul Douluo.

However, in recent years, he has forcibly advanced to the Title Douluo realm through some rare and precious materials, but unfortunately he is still a Saint Craftsman.

Even if he was a bit overrated, he was still a genuine Title Douluo. However, he was surprised to find that the shadowy figure who ambushed him was extremely troublesome.

The thing instantly pierced through his soul power shield. Mu Chen tried to slap it away, but to his despair, he discovered that the thing was incredibly tough. His hands were red from slapping it, but the thing remained completely unharmed.

"Old man Ao, what are you doing? Come over here and help me knock this thing away!" Mu Chen said to Ao Hongchen while resisting.

However, after waiting for a long time, Ao Hongchen did not make any move, but just stared blankly at the elevator door.

"Damn it, are you doing this on purpose?!"

Mu Chen couldn't help but curse angrily. The creature that pounced on his face was too cunning, constantly flapping its wings at his face to block his vision. At the same time, it was also occasionally tearing at his hair, as if it was going to shave his head.

"Alright, Big White. Stop it now, or you'll pluck all of Mu Chen Sheng Jiang's hair out." Just then, a somewhat weak young voice rang out.

Upon hearing his words, the figure that had pounced on Mu Chen's face wisely flapped its wings and moved away from Mu Chen.

"Finally gone." Mu Chen couldn't help but touch his hairline, and then sadly discovered that he had a small bald patch on his head.

Yes, although it was small, he did feel a cool sensation there, and it was right in the center of his head.

Then, Mu Chen saw the culprit behind all this, a large white goose hiding behind someone else. At that moment, it seemed to notice Mu Chen's gaze, shrank its neck, and then called out, "Child~".

Upon seeing that the culprit was actually a large white goose, Mu Chen swallowed his words. Was he, a master craftsman, supposed to argue with a large white goose? How embarrassing!

At most, I'll find an opportunity to stew it later and see if it can help repair my hair.

Unable to find anyone to vent his anger on, Mu Chen immediately turned his gaze to Ao Hongchen. Could this disloyal old man be deliberately trying to make a fool of him?

"Old man Ao, you..."

Before Mu Chen could finish speaking, Ao Hongchen interrupted him.

Ao Hongchen's expression held a hint of shock, but even more so, disbelief. His gaze was fixed on Lu Fa as he said with some difficulty, "You succeeded?!"

"Hmm." Lufa's face was a little pale, which was a deliberate disguise. He then said, "Although I needed to recuperate for a while, I still managed to do it."

"Old man Ao, what kind of riddle are you playing? And Lu Fa, what's wrong with your complexion? Weren't you supposed to be going for forging? Why are you so weak?"

Mu Chen looked at the two who were playing a guessing game and asked directly. He hated riddle-solving people the most; why couldn't they just say what they wanted to say?

"Can't you see for yourself?" Ao Hongchen rolled her eyes at Mu Chen, then stared intently at the large white goose, saying each word clearly, "Heaven! Forging!"

Heavenly Forging!

When Ao Hongchen uttered those two words, his voice trembled slightly, a testament to his extreme excitement! That was a level he himself had never reached.

But now it's happening to his student. How could this not excite him!

"What did you say? Heavenly Forging!"

Mu Chen turned his gaze to the large white goose. He had been attacked by the goose earlier, which led him to initially regard it as a living creature. Then, he was distracted by Lu Fa's weak appearance, so he did not immediately notice the goose's special features.

However, Mu Chen was, after all, a master craftsman and Zhen Hua's junior brother, so he was naturally familiar with Heavenly Forging Metal.

Looking intently at the large white goose, one immediately notices its unusual nature. The goose's aura is extremely strange, unlike that of a living being, but rather more like a collection of the power of heaven and earth.

At the same time, Mu Chen felt a familiar sensation. What was that? The feeling of metal?!

"This thing! It's actually made of metal!"

You can tell from the look in this big white goose's eyes that it definitely has self-awareness. It possesses self-awareness, can even express its own emotions, and has its own form and movement, especially considering it's a metal creation.

Heavenly Forging!

This was the only explanation Mu Chen could think of!

Basically, every blacksmith who reaches the level of a master craftsman will have their work imbued with their aura to some extent.

Judging from the aura emanating from this large white goose, it clearly doesn't belong to Zhenhua; rather, it seems to be...

Mu Chen looked at Lu Fa, his voice trembling slightly, and asked, "You...you've become a master craftsman?!"

Someone in my family was recently hospitalized, so I need to take care of him, which might mean fewer updates.
