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

Chapter 545 Senior Brother Aruheng

"No, you should say you made history long ago. That miraculous Heavenly Forged White Goose is a work that has never appeared in the forging world before."

"It's clearly forged from just two alloys, yet its spirituality is terrifying, and it can even devour metal to grow. Just possessing this ability alone makes it surpass the works forged by past master craftsmen."

When Lu Fa heard Zhenhua mention the white goose, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Others might not know the details, but he knew the composition of that white goose.

"My ambition is great, or more precisely, my ambition is great in you. Although I can no longer achieve those things, if my successor can, my life will have been worthwhile. Lufa, do you know that since I became a master craftsman, this is the only thing that has ever excited me so much!"

"So, you should never think that you can't finish it, or that you have to rebuild the entire battle armor. What's the point of forcibly making a four-word battle armor? You will be hindered by other things, and you will never be able to reach the unprecedented peak in your life."

"Therefore, you will definitely succeed. If not now, you will definitely succeed in the future. You are only a Soul Douluo now. When you reach the Super Douluo level, what level of endurance will you be able to withstand? What kind of powerful elemental tribulations will you be able to endure?"

When your cultivation reaches the level of Super Douluo or Limit Douluo, how much more can you withstand? Therefore, how can you say you can't complete the Heavenly Forging of Seven Metals? I believe you can. You definitely can."

Zhenhua became increasingly excited as he spoke, and his emotions began to show signs of hysteria.

This was the first time Lu Fa had seen Zhenhua like this. However, he was indeed somewhat influenced by him.

As one of the special avatars created by Nan Fusheng, he never doubted his potential and believed that he would surely move towards the path of godhood in the future.

To achieve his ultimate goal, he must also arm himself with greater power, while providing his other clones with the convenience of battle armor.

Forging seven kinds of spirit alloys? If his cultivation reaches the level of a Title Douluo, and he uses "Fusheng" brand metal, it wouldn't be difficult for him to achieve this. But if possible, he wants to pursue even more!

Seeing Lu Fa deep in thought, Zhenhua nodded in satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder.

That's enough said. The rest is up to Lu Fa to walk.

"Let's go, that's about it for today's forging. Makino just contacted me saying he wants to introduce you to someone."

"Okay." Lu Fa nodded. In the current situation, he really couldn't continue forging.

Although he could absorb the power of the elemental lightning tribulation, his body's capacity to withstand it was ultimately limited. At this moment, Lu Fa's body had already reached its saturation point; absorbing even a trace more of the lightning tribulation's power would likely cause serious damage to his meridians.

On the Douluo Continent, master craftsmen all feared the Elemental Calamity like the plague, regarding it as a nightmare in the forging process.

However, in Lu Fa's eyes, this seemingly terrifying elemental calamity was a true treasure.

It can not only help metals advance to god-level quality, but more importantly, it can also refine and forge Lufa himself, allowing his body and strength to continuously improve through repeated tempering.

After completing his cultivation of the Body Sect's innate secret techniques, Lu Fa thought his physical abilities had reached their limit. However, after the Elemental Tribulation, his body was being constantly forged, as if it were being tempered by the heavens.

This is undoubtedly a new way to improve one's physical fitness.

As the elevator descended, Lu Fa and Zhen Hua returned to their office together.

Besides Makino, a tall, burly man was sitting on the sofa in the office.

"You've finally come down." Upon seeing Zhenhua and Lufa, Mu Ye's eyes lit up, and he quickly said to the burly man beside him, "Have you not greeted your Uncle Zhenhua yet?"

Upon hearing Mu Ye's words, the burly man immediately stood up, scratched his head, and respectfully said, "Hello, Uncle Zhenhua."

"You are... Aruheng?" Zhenhua examined him carefully for a moment, his face showing surprise. "Goodness, you've grown so strong in the years I haven't seen you. I almost didn't recognize you."

Mu Ye then said to Lu Fa, who was standing to the side, "This is my personal disciple, Aruheng. He has been cultivating in seclusion at the Body Sect for the past few years. He has only recently emerged from seclusion and will be staying here for a while to participate in the Star Dou Battle Network All-Federation Challenge, so as to broaden his horizons."

"Master, didn't you tell me to defeat everyone in the competition so that the world could see how powerful our Body Sect is, so we could promote it in the future?" Aruheng's honest voice suddenly rang out.

"Cough cough."

When Mu Ye was exposed by Aruheng, he couldn't stand Zhenhua's teasing gaze. His face turned red, and he glared at Aruheng, leaving him somewhat confused.

"Greetings, Senior Brother." Lu Fa greeted Aruheng politely, and then began to sized him up.

Lu Fa wasn't entirely unfamiliar with this senior brother he'd never met before, as Mu Ye had once told him some things about Aruheng; this was simply their first formal meeting.

Strong, very strong! That was Lu Fa's first impression. His junior brother Aruheng was indeed very strong and tall, much like Long Yue, whom he had met in the Star Luo Continent.

It really does look alike, because Aruheng also has the hairstyle of a strongman and a shiny head.

Aruheng was over 2.5 meters tall, with shoulders as broad as those of at least two ordinary people. His bare arms revealed muscles that could only be described as terrifying, with veins resembling small snakes, an indescribably frightening sight.

At the same time, Aruheng is also the true successor of the Body Sect's innate secret techniques, while Lu Fa is at most a halfway practitioner.

The true innate secret techniques are extremely difficult and painful to cultivate, requiring the body to be soaked in countless rare and precious medicinal herbs. This process begins at birth and continues for ten years.

Don't mistake being soaked in rare and precious herbs for a pleasant experience. On the contrary, being soaked in elixirs made from these rare and precious herbs requires enduring unimaginable pain.

Moreover, this was endured during infancy. The excruciating pain of the process is unimaginable.

The innate secret techniques are not only painful but also extremely costly, even for a powerful sect like the Body Sect. It takes almost a hundred years to accumulate enough rare and precious materials to perform the innate secret techniques.

If Ying'er's body cannot withstand the pressure of the secret technique, or if her willpower is insufficient, the technique will fail. The child practicing the technique will die, and all the elixirs will be wasted.

This innate secret method is precisely the reason for the continuous decline of the Body Sect over the years.

For the past four hundred years, not a single person had mastered the innate secret technique. Until this generation, the one before Lu Fa had finally succeeded.

Aruheng had cultivated the Body Sect's innate secret techniques since childhood and was highly regarded by the sect. Almost the entire sect hoped that he could make a breakthrough and lead the Body Sect back to its former glory.

Unfortunately, with the application of modern weapons such as battle armor and mechs, the strength of a Soul Master's physical body is no longer as important as before. It is obviously not so easy for the Body Sect to rise again with just one person. But at least there is hope.

Mu Ye once told Lu Fa that when he first took Lu Fa in, he was actually training him as a substitute for his senior brother. In case Lu Fa died young, at least the Body Sect would still have a pure lineage.

The innate secret technique requires ten years of immersion, followed by at least another ten years of practice to truly gain control of one's body. Once successful, one will automatically become the successor to the sect leader of the Body Sect.

Although Aruheng succeeded, Lufa had heard from Muye that he had also encountered some problems. His willpower was strong enough to succeed, and his talent was also exceptional.

The only problem is that this person seems to be a little slow-witted, which makes him seem simple-minded and somewhat flawed in his personality.

Mu Ye had told Lu Fa that if his senior brother went out to make his way in the world in the future, he hoped that Lu Fa would take good care of him.

The fact that Aruheng is here today is partly due to Mu Ye's own ulterior motives. After all, Aruheng is rather simple-minded; if they really relied on him to promote the Body Sect, it would be a long time coming.

Moreover, staying cooped up in the Body Sect for cultivation isn't a good thing; connections are also extremely crucial. The reason I brought Aruheng to the Blacksmith Association this time was to introduce him to Lu Fa, the future master craftsman.

Both of them were his disciples and could be considered to be from the same lineage. In the future, Aruheng's four-word battle armor would probably have to be obtained from Lu Fa, so of course he had to take this opportunity to let Aruheng show his face in front of Lu Fa and get to know him.

"Your junior brother is greeting you!" Mu Ye suddenly slapped Aruheng on the back, making a dull "clang" sound. Aruheng swayed and gave Mu Ye a resentful look, not understanding why his master hit him so hard.

Mu Ye looked at him calmly, thinking to himself, "I can't do it without putting in some effort. Aruheng has already successfully cultivated the innate secret technique. If I lose strength, he probably won't even feel it."

"Hello, junior brother, my name is Aruheng. I've often heard our teacher mention you. It's our first time meeting. I don't have anything particularly impressive to offer, but if you have anyone you want to beat up, just tell me and I'll help you." Aruheng said to Lu Fa in a simple and honest manner.

These words made Mu Ye stagger, and Zhen Hua couldn't help but chuckle.

This senior disciple of the Body Sect is truly endearingly simple-minded.

Makino slapped Aruheng's bald head and said irritably, "How can you talk like that? You just met me and you're already offering to help beat someone up."

Aruheng looked at Muye with an innocent expression, "But Master, I have nothing to offer but my strength."

Mu Ye paused, because what Aruheng said seemed to make sense. He had been cultivating in seclusion at the Body Sect, and his food was specially prepared for him. Every day he was either cultivating innate secret techniques or cultivating soul power.

Money was really useless to him, and Makino had never given Aruheng any pocket money. It was no exaggeration to say that he was penniless.

"You can't talk like that," Mu Ye said irritably. "You're even helping your junior brother fight. It's questionable whether you can even beat your junior brother."

"Master, I disagree with you. Although my junior brother may be strong, I, having mastered the innate secret technique, can defeat even a titled Douluo." Aruheng retorted somewhat unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye rolled up his sleeves and feigned anger, saying, "Oh, you've only been out of the mountains for a few months, and you've already learned to talk back to your master. It seems necessary to teach you what it means to respect your teacher today."

Upon hearing Mu Ye's words, the tall and imposing Aruheng immediately shrank back, saying somewhat fearfully, "Master, there's no need for that. I've already mastered the Innate Secret Technique, so my body is very strong. But you're different; you're so old. It wouldn't be good if you got hurt in the process."

Upon hearing the first half of Aruheng's sentence, Mu Ye nodded with some relief, but upon hearing the latter part of Aruheng's sentence, he was immediately furious.

"You've really grown up, daring to look down on your teacher. If I don't give you a beating today, you'll be so arrogant from now on."

"Teacher, I don't have a tail," Aruheng continued in his simple-minded reply.

Mu Ye was speechless for a moment. He couldn't tell whether his eldest disciple was really stupid or pretending to be stupid. Why did he say such infuriating things?

"Alright, teacher, don't be angry. Senior brother is just innocent and speaks very directly." At this moment, Lu Fa spoke up to comfort Aruheng.

"Is this what you call childlike innocence? He's clearly just naive and silly. If I didn't know he spoke without thinking, I would have taught him a lesson today, showing him what it means to be a teacher for a day and a father for life." Looking at Lu Fa, Mu Ye's expression softened considerably, but he still spoke with a hint of annoyance.

If it weren't for the fact that the innate secret techniques were too difficult to cultivate, and if Aruheng hadn't already been designated as the next sect leader of the Body Sect, he would have had to delete his account and start over to raise a normal successor.

Lu Fa didn't dare to hope for it, because Mu Ye knew very well that Lu Fa could not be bound by the Body Sect and had no intention of taking over the position of Body Sect Master.

At this moment, Lu Fa looked at Aruheng and suddenly said, "I heard that Senior Brother has successfully cultivated the Innate Secret Technique. I also have some insights into the Innate Secret Technique, so how about we have a friendly spar?"

Upon hearing this, Aruheng immediately turned his gaze to Muye. He had heard Muye talk about the Road Technique quite a bit before. He was also very curious about this junior brother, and now that he had the opportunity to spar, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

However, it also depends on whether Makino can agree. Aruheng looked at Makino expectantly.

"Well..." Makino's heart stirred. Men, after all, might be able to strengthen their bond through a fight. Besides, Lufa and Aruheng were both his disciples. If the two could get along well, he would naturally be happy to see it happen.
