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

Chapter 456 Mu Chen: I'm actually not as good as a goose

If the War God Temple or the Spirit Pagoda were to obtain it, they would certainly spare no expense in nurturing this giant white goose.

Having reached this point, advancing any further is incredibly difficult. Therefore, even if there's only a sliver of a chance that the Great White Goose could become a super artifact, they will still nurture it.

The goal was simple: to see if the super artifact could help them break through that barrier and reach the realm of gods.

They really want to improve!

Of course, only Mu Chen, Ao Hongchen, and Lu Fa knew about the Great White Goose's abilities.

Mu Xi and Zui Hongchen were unaware of the situation; at most, they simply found the large white goose quite extraordinary, as it could eat like a living creature.

The great white goose, possessing the potential to create top-tier artifacts, is crafted by a master craftsman capable of forging such artifacts.

These two points are really not suitable to be revealed now. After some discussion, they decided to wait until Lu Fa had enough strength before deciding whether to reveal them.

Ao Hongchen suddenly asked Lu Fa, "You don't seem to have obtained your eighth spirit ring yet, do you? Didn't the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda in Heaven Dou City say last time that you could choose any one of the 100,000-year-old spirits already in the tower?"

"It's not good to keep delaying your cultivation. Let's go to the Spirit Transfer Tower together sometime and choose one. If you don't find a soul that suits your taste, I can take you to the sea to search for one."

"Okay." Lufa nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you, teacher."

"My son~ my son~"

At this moment, the big white goose that had been rubbing against Zui Hongchen's chest shifted its target and ran to Mu Xi, rubbing against her as well.

"What a perverted goose." Mu Xi scoffed lightly, but still picked up the big white goose. Ever since the incident where it pulled her skirt, this big white goose had been rubbing against her from time to time, clearly showing its affection for her.

As a blacksmith, Mu Xi was naturally curious about the piece of Heavenly Forged Metal that could run and jump, so she didn't object to the big white goose getting close to it.

As a metal creation, this large white goose has no unpleasant odor and doesn't shed feathers. Aside from being a bit mischievous and holding grudges, it's quite alright.

Yes, it was mischievous. After spending some time with it, Mu Xi discovered that apart from causing chaos at the association headquarters when it first appeared, this big white goose was generally well-behaved.

It was also very well-behaved when dealing with association members who came to report. It didn't even resist being touched by some female staff members, appearing incredibly docile.

Well, except when she's facing her father, Mu Chen! Whenever Mu Chen is with this big white goose, her father gets chased and pecked by it.

The big white goose hadn't put up any resistance when Uncle Hongchen secretly touched it before.

It's probably because Dad's previous attempt to check the other person's gender angered this big white goose, which led to him tearing her skirt as revenge.

Mu Xi didn't think the white goose could have any bad intentions, after all, it was a piece of Heavenly Forged Metal.

Perhaps because they are so young, they are curious about everything around them. Just like a toddler, they are curious about everything they see and want to touch it.

While stroking the head of the large white goose, Mu Xi secretly glanced at Lu Fa. Despite being younger than herself, Lu Fa was already able to chat and laugh with her father. In terms of forging, he far surpassed her father.

"He doesn't look that big, so how come he's so strong?"

Mu Xi's beautiful eyes scrutinized Lu Fa. Not only was he capable of Heavenly Forging, but his cultivation had also reached the level of a quasi-Soul Douluo. Even through the recordings of Lu Fa's previous battles against Shrek Academy, one couldn't discern the terrifying talent this man possessed in combat.

"Ring ring~"

Just then, the office phone rang, and Mu Chen picked it up.

"Master Craftsman Mu Chen, a lady claiming to be from the Spirit Pagoda and a former classmate of Master Craftsman Lu Fa wishes to speak with him. She is accompanied by three other people. Would you like to receive them?"

"What's that lady's name?"

"The woman identified herself as Fors Wall, and she was accompanied by the Governor of Tianhai City, Nan Fusheng. In addition, there was a silver-haired girl with purple eyes and a tall, blond man."

"Nephew, they're looking for you. Would you like to meet them?"

Mu Chen looked at Lu Fa. He had just put the phone on speakerphone, so the other people in the office could hear the conversation.

Lufa nodded. "Fors is indeed my classmate. She had already spoken to me before. Let them come up."

"Okay." Mu Chen nodded, then said into the phone, "Have that lady and her companions come up together."

At this moment, Zui Hongchen, who had been sitting on the sofa, suddenly asked, "Fors? Is she the sister who single-handedly took down seven members of the Monster Academy on the Star Luo Continent?"

Lufa nodded. "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Zui Hongchen didn't say much, but her small hand on the sofa tightened involuntarily.

She was no stranger to Fors, after all, back in the Star Luo Continent competition, Fors had easily defeated seven members of Monster Academy by fighting against one.

She was in the audience at that match, and both her stunning beauty and formidable strength left a deep impression on her.

The news of Lu Fa becoming a master craftsman had only been circulating for a few days when Miss Fors took the initiative to come to his door, and even claimed to be from the Spirit Pagoda. This inevitably made Zui Hongchen's imagination run wild.

Could it be that the Spirit Pagoda is trying to use a honey trap? After all, Brother Lu Fa and she came from the same orphanage, and they even formed a Soul Master team at the Soul Master Academy. Their relationship is definitely not ordinary.

She's good-looking, talented, and they used to be classmates. If they become rivals, she'll have to compete with them!

No, that's not right. Don't give up! Keep going, you're the best!

Zui Hongchen started to have wild thoughts, while also cheering himself up.

So what if you're childhood sweethearts? The "sudden arrival" type is the real deal!

……

"bite--"

The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and Fors and Nan Fusheng stepped out. Gu Yuena followed timidly behind them, with a man dressed in a black robe at the very back.

"Hmm!"

Upon seeing Lu Fa for the first time, Gu Yuena frowned slightly, then instinctively hid behind Nan Fusheng.

The feeling this person gave her made her uncomfortable; it was a kind of aversion that came from blood ties.

"Son~"

The moment the two sides met, before they could exchange a few words, the large white goose suddenly broke free from Mu Xi's arms and pounced towards Nan Fusheng.

More accurately, he lunged at Gu Yuena behind him.

"Son~ Son~" The big white goose made strange noises as it ran.

Damn it, this guy did it on purpose!

Nan Fusheng immediately saw through the wicked intentions of the big white goose; it was deliberately making that noise because it knew he wouldn't reveal his strength.

Although the exact strength of the giant white goose is unknown, judging from its formidable metallic body, it possesses strength approaching that of a Title Douluo. Getting close to it would be...unpleasant.

"Big White!" Mu Xi exclaimed.

Mu Chen and Ao Hongchen did not make a move, but observed the reactions of Fors and the others. The sudden burst of the white goose was exactly what they wanted, and they could use it to test the strength of the other side.

Since Fors and his group claim to be members of the Spirit Tower, this cannot be considered a simple reunion of old classmates.

They were well aware of the giant white goose's strength; without the power of a Title Douluo, there was no way to defeat it. This was a good opportunity to test the strength of Fors and his companions.

"Er~ga!"

Before the white goose could even reach Gu Yuena, it was seized by the neck by a jade-like hand and let out a duck-like quack.

"Is this duck your creation? It looks so unprofessional!"

not good!

Upon hearing Fors's words, Mu Chen thought to himself, as someone who was chased by this big white goose every day, he knew all too well the ruthless guy's violent temper.

She wants to cuddle with pretty girls, ignores men, but pecks at him relentlessly. Mu Chen figured all of this out bit by bit.

Aside from not speaking very well, this big white goose is definitely no less intelligent than a human; at the very least, it can understand human speech.

How could such a hot-tempered and petty fellow tolerate being called a duck?

"My son! My son!"

Sure enough, upon hearing itself called a duck, the big white goose immediately protested. Its two little wings flapped incessantly, and eight-colored light burst forth from its body.

Even if it's a beautiful girl, it will never forgive anyone who dares to call it a duck.

Eight-colored lights flashed continuously, and the luster of the elements caused the space to distort to some extent.

"My son! My son!"

The elemental light on the white goose grew increasingly intense, and seven elemental orbs condensed around it.

First, the wind collided with the water, causing it to swirl. Then, the earth struck, deepening its color. Next, the fire struck, causing the sphere of light to explode. Spatial energy rushed in, separating the incompatible water and fire. Light and darkness enveloped each other.

Seven Elements, Great Fission!

It wasn't over yet. The big white goose let out a cry, and terrifying lightning instantly entered it: Eight Elements: Destructive Lightning.

This is a direct attack that is almost a law of elements. This is the power that the white goose deliberately preserved when it was enduring the elemental lightning tribulation after the Heavenly Forging was successfully completed.

Only after a period of reflection and experience can one unleash this power.

The elemental lightning tribulation was brought about by the Heavenly Forging and does not possess intelligence itself. However, the elemental lightning condensed by the Great White Goose is now filled with terrifying compression and explosive power, and within the laws, it also has the effect of penetrating.

This is its strongest attack! And it's also its innate talent!

Don't assume it has no combat ability just because it's a piece of metal! It has taken quite a lot of soul-forged metal from Lu Fa during this period, almost emptying Lu Fa's inventory.

The soul-forged metals it devoured and absorbed also strengthened its essence, allowing it to transform.

It cannot control this move well yet. Using this move when it is restrained by Fors will only drag it into the mess as well.

But it's alright, one of the characteristics of its metallic body is that it's tough and can withstand a beating!

After using this move, its power will be exhausted, but it feels it was worth it.

Because of this one move, even Super Douluo without wearing battle armor would have to call it "Dad".

"Holy crap! Is this thing really that vicious?!"

Mu Chen was utterly dumbfounded. He had always thought that this big white goose was just physically stronger and had a higher resistance to elements. If it really came down to it, he could still handle it.

However, looking at the elemental lightning tribulation before him, Mu Chen felt his scalp tingle. He wasn't really going all out, but neither was this big white goose.

Even if he used his battle armor, he might not be able to withstand this elemental lightning tribulation.

"I can't even beat a goose." This was Mu Chen's most honest thought at that moment.

Ao Hongchen, however, stared at the scene in astonishment. Even he hadn't expected that this big white goose would have such an ability. "As expected of a unique metallic life form, it actually possesses such a miraculous ability."

"Gagaga!"

The white goose laughed like a duck, unafraid of hurting Fors. After all, Fors could also manipulate elemental power, but facing this move, he was sure to get a good beating.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily? Is something making you happy?"

Her jade-like hand, gripping the large white goose, did not loosen its grip for a moment. The terrifying elemental lightning instantly solidified, surging towards Fors's other hand, and finally transforming into a small elemental ball that she caught in her hand.

With a gentle squeeze, the small ball formed from the elemental lightning tribulation was crushed by her, turning into tiny, eight-colored shards of light.

Hilarious! She can also manipulate elemental power, coupled with the mental strength of a Divine Origin Realm cultivator. This white goose, whose mental strength is at most at the Spirit Abyss Realm, actually dares to try and provoke her with elemental power.

"Gah!"

The white goose's laughter stopped abruptly, and it began to struggle fiercely. Unable to win, it was going to run away!

"If you move again, I'll turn you into rat-flavored duck neck."

A slight burst of spiritual power instantly stunned the large white goose. It was merely a metal clone, which was refined in a flash.

Not far away, Ao Hongchen's eyes narrowed. Such terrifying mental strength, at least stronger than his own. He recognized Fors; after all, Fors had once challenged the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and he also had a close relationship with Lu Fa.

At that time, Fors's level of mental strength had already surprised him.

Unexpectedly, in just a few years, this little girl, who was only a few years older than his granddaughter, was stronger than him, a Limit Douluo, in terms of spiritual power.

Ao Hongchen's spiritual power level is at the initial stage of the Spirit Realm. There's no way around it; spiritual power isn't the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul's forte. And for someone stronger than him, Fors's spiritual power must at least be at the intermediate stage of the Spirit Realm.

Moreover, judging from how easily Fors subdued the white goose just now, her strength is not weak at all; at least she could easily defeat Mu Chen.
