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

Chapter 435 The Divine Craftsman's Path

There were clearly more than a dozen beams of light rising from the edge of the hall, each bearing a three-word battle armor. However, that milky-white light managed to suppress them all.

"Four-Word Battle Armor!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone present couldn't help but turn their gaze over.

"Guan Yue, it's actually you from the War God Temple!" The tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower in Tian Dou City exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the milky-white figure.

Those unfamiliar with Guan Yue would only be surprised by his status as a four-word battle armor master.

But the people next to him were either important members of various forces or patriarchs of various families in Tiandou City, so they naturally knew everything about Guan Yue.

Guan Yue is the current Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall. A level 99 Limit Douluo, his martial soul is the Heaven-Transcending Divine Spear, and his title is Heaven-Transcending. Furthermore, he and the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming are fellow disciples. Of course, very few people know this.

Although the attack on the Divine Craftsman had prompted all the major powers to send their key members to investigate, no one expected that the Temple of War would send such a powerful figure of the era.

However, Guan Yue ignored the gazes of those around her, instead gazing thoughtfully at the large white goose in the sky. With a thought, she forcibly retracted the four-word battle armor.

The milky-white battle armor disappeared, and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man appeared in the spot. Although Guan Yue had an ordinary appearance, he had a special otherworldly temperament.

Especially after he displayed his four-word battle armor, no one dared to ignore him.

"The Blacksmiths' Association is indeed full of talented people. I wonder which master craftsman created this masterpiece. I heard that the current temporary headquarters of the association is managed by the eight-star Saint Craftsman Mu Chen. Could it be that Saint Craftsman Mu Chen has already broken through?"

Guan Yue's tone was slightly gentle, but what he said left those around him puzzled.

"What? What does this senior mean? Works? What works?"

"Isn't the Divine Craftsman President Zhenhua? Why is this senior mentioning Master Craftsman Muchen?"

The three-word battle armor masters near Guan Yue also frowned. Yue Tian Douluo would never say something meaningless. Combining the strangeness of the big white goose just now, the three-word battle armor masters immediately reacted and all sent their spiritual power to probe the big white goose.

"My son, my son!"

The white goose immediately cried out, and eight-colored light emanated from its body, instantly blocking all mental probes.

"Heavenly Forged! This goose is made of Heavenly Forged metal!"

A three-word battle armor master couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In the instant his mental power was blocked, he could clearly feel that his battle armor was emanating a trace of unease. There was even a hint of worship.

Considering that the large white goose had only made one call, yet everyone present was forcibly forced to unleash their battle armor.

Rank suppression! This is the thought of all three-word battle armor masters.

Yes, just as high-level soul beasts intimidate low-level soul beasts, this situation sometimes occurs between battle armors, although it is rare, it does happen.

The beast tides that historically attacked cities were caused by high-level soul beasts using their power to forcibly drive away low-level soul beasts.

But what level is their battle armor? It's a three-word battle armor! A soul-forged metal that has already developed a certain level of intelligence is actually afraid of this white goose, so how high must its level be!

"Although Heavenly Forged Metal can mimic forms, this is the first time in my life I've seen one that can mimic such a living creature." Yue Tian Douluo's tone remained gentle.

But his words undoubtedly revealed the true identity of the large white goose to everyone.

"What! This giant white goose is a metal creation, and a creation forged from heaven!"

"How is that possible? While spirit alloys do possess intelligence, they are not at the level of living beings."

"Are you questioning what you said, senior? Senior Yue Tian is a four-word battle armor master, how could he be wrong?"

Those who question it are mostly low-level blacksmiths or people who don't understand blacksmithing.

But those blacksmiths of level five and above looked at the giant white goose with burning eyes. They were all capable of spirit forging, so they naturally understood the preciousness of this giant white goose.

When the blacksmiths successfully completed the spirit forging, imbuing the metal with a trace of life, they were already quite certain that the metal was alive. So even though they were somewhat surprised, they would never doubt Guan Yue's words.

A piece of Heavenly Forged Metal that can run and jump—if one could grasp even a sliver of its secrets, they might have a chance to become a Saint-level Craftsman. Even if they couldn't grasp it completely, it would at least elevate their forging skills to a higher level.

Some level six blacksmiths couldn't help but gleam with envy. Soul forging was simply too difficult; they had stagnated for a long time after reaching the level of level six blacksmiths.

Now that a living, breathing creation of the heavens is right in front of them, how could they not be tempted?

They really wanted to improve.

Of course, they could only dream about it. This big white goose was clearly the work of a master craftsman, and they wouldn't dare to steal it even if they had the guts.

……

Meanwhile, Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen arrived late, having already been there while Yue Tian Douluo was speaking.

They simply didn't choose to appear immediately. Now that they see the atmosphere has reached this point, they naturally show up.

Mu Xi's expression was somewhat blank as she mechanically turned her head to look at Lu Fa ahead. After all, this large white goose had initially appeared alongside Lu Fa; could it be…?

Zui Hongchen's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lu Fa with some anticipation in her beautiful eyes.

"Ah! It's Master Lu Fa, Master Mu Chen, and Master Hong Chen."

As soon as Lufa and his group appeared, they were immediately spotted by those present.

"Don't be surprised, everyone. This white goose is indeed the work of a master craftsman, and it is also related to what we are about to talk about."

With the spread of his soul power, Mu Chen's voice easily resounded throughout the entire hall, instantly silencing everyone.

Then, Mu Chen and his group walked towards the center of the hall, and the people around them tactfully made way for them.

For the first time, a hint of surprise appeared on the usually calm expression of Yue Tian Douluo Guan Yue, because he noticed that both Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen seemed to be intentionally lagging behind Lu Fa by half a step.

Could it be!

Guan Yue's four-word battle armor was crafted by Zhen Hua, so he was naturally familiar with Zhen Hua's aura. Therefore, he was quite certain that the white goose in the sky had absolutely no connection with Zhen Hua.

Combining the aura she sensed from the goose earlier with a glance at Mu Chen, Guan Yue was quite certain that the other party's aura did not match that of the white goose.

As for Ao Hongchen? The headquarters of the War God Temple is not far from Mingdu. He has had many dealings with Ao Hongchen, so he is naturally very familiar with his aura.

If we eliminate all the impossibilities, then the remaining guess, no matter how outrageous, can only be reality.

"Now, things are going to get lively on the mainland again." A glint of light flashed in Guan Yue's eyes, but his expression remained calm, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"Ahem! Everyone, look at me!" Mu Chen stood on the platform in the center of the hall, gesturing for everyone to look at him.

"I know that everyone has been a little uneasy since the disappearance of Master Craftsman Zhenhua, but please rest assured that the Master Craftsman will not be so easily killed. We have been sending people to search for him with all our might. I believe that finding the Master Craftsman's whereabouts is only a matter of time."

"At the same time, I also swear that I will never let those evil spirit masters who dare to attack the divine craftsmen get away with it. The Blacksmith Association will fully cooperate with the Federation to wipe out those madmen who disregard the law."

"Our Blacksmiths' Association has a history of thousands of years. What storms haven't we weathered? These are just minor setbacks, nothing can defeat us..."

Mu Chen did not reveal that Zhen Hua was still alive. Instead, he gave a passionate speech to stir up the emotions of the crowd.

Then, changing his tone, he said, "What I just said was simply to prevent everyone from panicking and giving the enemy hiding in the shadows a reason to laugh at us. This incident is a very heavy blow to the association. But!"

Ao Hongchen picked up where he left off and continued, "Whenever a great building is about to collapse, there are always heroes who emerge and turn the tide. And in this incident, our Blacksmiths Association has just produced such a young hero."

"I, Aochen..."

"I, Mu Chen..."

The two said in unison.

"I vouch for this in my own name as a Saint Craftsman, Master Craftsman Lufa has successfully ascended to the rank of Divine Craftsman! This white goose is none other than Master Craftsman Lufa's masterpiece of Heavenly Forging!"

Upon hearing the announcement from the two, the big white goose wisely flew to the podium.

"Son~"

The large white goose raised its long neck high, spread its wings, and cried out loudly to the crowd. The next moment, a dense eight-colored light burst forth from its body.

This time, the light was far more intense than before. The One-Word Battle Armor Master reacted well.

However, the two-word battle armor masters were surprised to find that their two-word battle armor, forged from spirit alloy and already possessing a preliminary spirituality, had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

The three-word battle armor masters reacted even more strongly because their battle armor possessed a higher spirituality, and now they were conveying their fear, dread, and even submission to their masters.

"It really is Heavenly Forging, and it's the best of the best!"

Yue Tian Douluo Guan Yue forcibly suppressed the trembling of his battle armor, his gaze fixed intently on the large white goose. He had already guessed what was going on when the battle armor appeared just now.

Now, what was just speculation has become reality. A master craftsman who has just learned the art of Heavenly Forging has forged metal that has actually forced his entire set of four-word battle armor to manifest.

It's important to understand that this wasn't a one-on-one fight. His four-word battle armor is composed of thirteen parts and has been nurtured and refined by him over many years. Its quality is absolutely guaranteed.

It's not that the large white goose suppressed his battle armor. Rather, it's that the large white goose actually made his battle armor feel threatened, which is why it manifested automatically.

Guan Yue could not judge whether Lu Fa's forging skills surpassed Zhen Hua's.

However, the metal that Lu Fa forged was at least of higher quality than the Tian Duan metal that Zhen Hua had forged for him.

"A master craftsman! A new master craftsman has appeared, and he's so young!"

"Master Craftsman Lufa is not even twenty years old yet! After becoming the youngest Saint Craftsman, he has actually broken through again!"

"My God! He's made history again! Although I knew before that Master Craftsman Lufa was the most promising candidate to become a Divine Craftsman, I never expected him to break through so quickly. Wow, probably no one will ever surpass this record again!"

No one would question it, because Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen had already vouched for Lu Fa. Not to mention, the large white goose on the podium was currently radiating a dazzling eight-colored light.

The aura emanating from that large white goose, belonging to Lu Fa, was undeniable. The light that made their battle armor tremble and submit further convinced them that this was Heaven-Forged Metal!

"Master Craftsman!"

"Master Craftsman!"

"The Divine Craftsman Lufa!"

The surrounding blacksmiths began to shout wildly. That was a master craftsman! They were so fortunate to witness the birth of a master craftsman and to see the legendary Heavenly Forged Metal.

This is a moment that every blacksmith who loves forging will remember for a lifetime.

The surrounding three-word battle armor masters looked at Lu Fa with burning eyes.

It's important to understand that, unlike Zhenhua, who was already on the decline, Lu Fa was in the prime of his life, and his cultivation was far from reaching its peak.

This young master craftsman's output rate is definitely higher than Zhenhua's. Moreover, Lu Fa's talent and combat strength have been demonstrated before, making him the undisputed number one among the younger generation.

Now, with the added status of a divine craftsman, many patriarchs of major families in Tiandou City have begun to consider whether their families have any beautiful women of marriageable age or female descendants.

In fact, many people wanted to do this as early as when Lu Fa became a Saint Craftsman, but Zhen Hua held them back in Tian Dou City.

In Mingdu, Ao Hongchen had also made a strong statement, and Lu Fa himself kept a low profile, so these matters did not reach him.

But now that Zhenhua's whereabouts are unknown and Lufa has become a master craftsman, the hearts of these clan leaders immediately became restless.

Handsome, talented, and with the added advantage of being a master craftsman, if you could snag such a perfect husband, you'd probably be laughing in your sleep.

At this moment, nine spirit rings appeared on Ao Hongchen's body, six black and three red. The terrifying fluctuations of spirit power instantly silenced everyone present.

"Lu Fa Divine Craftsman is indeed capable of Heaven Forging, but considering his insufficient cultivation level, I will never allow him to perform Heaven Forging again until he officially reaches the cultivation level of a Title Douluo."

"I also hope everyone can understand, after all, Lu Fa is also my student. So I hope that you will not disturb him before he reaches the Title Douluo level, so that he can concentrate on his cultivation."

As soon as Ao Hongchen finished speaking, people in the hall immediately began to respond.

"Of course. I hereby guarantee that anyone who dares to make Lu Fa Divine Craftsman undergo Heaven Forging before he reaches the Title Douluo level is going against me."

The heads of various large families and members of major forces immediately expressed their opinions.
