Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 129 The Ultimate Fire

Before long, Tang Hao arrived in a carriage with Titan.

Li Fei, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin also boarded the carriage and headed to Gengjin City. On the carriage, Tang Hao looked at Sword Douluo with some surprise, not expecting that his soul power had increased by one level again after only a short time apart.

However, thinking of the soul power fluctuation that had made him tremble just now, he kept quiet. He roughly guessed who the soul power came from, glanced at Li Fei, and then closed his eyes to begin cultivating.

After feeling the speed of the carriage, Li Fei frowned. At this speed, it would take several days to reach Gengjin City, and he had no mood to enjoy the scenery along the way.

With a slight lift of his hand, the two carriages flew into the air, causing the members of the Power Clan who were acting as drivers to tremble with fear and cry out in alarm.

"Don't be afraid, just sit tight!" Li Fei's voice rang out, followed by a gentle force that pressed the two people into their seats. The next second, the two carriages transformed into two streaks of golden-red light and flew towards Gengjin City.

"This speed is no weaker than when I have Wind's assistance!"

Feeling the speed of the carriage through the air, Chen Xin was astonished. He knew in his heart that this was definitely not Li Fei's full strength. Judging from his relaxed expression, it was very likely just a negligible amount of power.

"It seems I underestimated Li Fei's strength. Just this speed alone is beyond my reach!" Tang Hao's pupils shrank slightly, also greatly surprised.

Thus, without tacit agreement, the group quickly landed near Gengjin City, and the two men drove to Gengjin City.

From a distance, Gengjin City appears to be a city entirely made of metal, hence its nickname "Metal Capital." However, its main structure is actually made of bricks and tiles. It's just that the city is almost entirely populated by blacksmiths who build facilities in various parts of the city, which eventually led to its current appearance.

Upon entering Gengjin City, the group discovered that the atmosphere was not as pleasant as they had imagined. Although there were still many blacksmith shops and blacksmiths constantly forging, it was clear that their mood was not very good.

"Something's not right. Let's head straight to the Blacksmiths' Guild!" Titan suggested, frowning slightly as he looked around.

"Um!"

Li Fei nodded, and the group headed towards the blacksmiths' association in the city center.

"Make way!"

At this moment, a group of people walked over from a distance and started picking up items from the surrounding stalls. From the leader's clothing and the people following behind, everyone recognized that the people were from the Spirit Hall.

"Since the Spirit Hall split up, this new Spirit Hall has become increasingly outrageous. Even trash like this can become a bishop of a branch hall!" Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, his face full of disgust.

"Rubbish!"

Li Fei's face instantly turned cold. It was this kind of trash who was ruining the reputation of the Spirit Hall. With a thought, he slightly raised his hand, and all the spiritual energy in the world was transformed into fire attribute. Streams of crimson-gold flames ignited on Miles and the other Spirit Hall members. In the face of those crimson-gold flames that had reached the extreme of fire, even if Miles and the others unleashed their soul power to resist, it would be of no use.

Instead, their soul power was rendered useless by the crimson-gold flames, and in the blink of an eye, they were reduced to ashes.

After the battle with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Li Fei's cultivation improved, making it easier for him to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. During this time, he was also able to transform the soul power of various attributes into ultimate power. In terms of soul power alone, it was already almost on par with divine power, and his combat power had increased many times over.

"They're dead! That's great! Those damned Spirit Hall bastards are finally dead!"

"Now I don't have to live in fear anymore!"

"..."

The blacksmiths around cheered when they saw that Miles and the other Spirit Hall members had all been burned to ashes.

Li Fei raised his hand again, and a huge flaming fist appeared in the sky above the Gengjin City Martial Soul Branch Hall. The fist was entirely composed of extreme fire, and its crimson-gold light shimmered, but it did not emit any heat, which showed Li Fei's control over his soul power.

boom!

The Martial Soul Branch Hall, the largest building in Gengjin City, vanished instantly. Not only that, the precious metals that decorated the Martial Soul Points were completely melted into molten iron and fused together, flowing into the previous attack and leaving only a huge hole like a massive abyss. The inside and all sides of the hole were filled with lava, and the temperature of the entire Gengjin City rose several times over at that moment.

"Your Excellency Li Fei, what exactly was that flame just now?! It could even burn soul power, and there are many metals in that Martial Soul Branch Hall that are difficult to melt. How did your attack turn them into molten iron?!" Titan stepped forward and asked with excitement and disbelief. For a blacksmith, extremely high-temperature flames are very important. With this method of using flames, he dared not imagine what kind of things he could forge in the future.

"This is the ultimate fire, the most extreme fire-attribute soul power. Just like your Power Clan, it's a flame soul power that only appears when a single attribute is cultivated to its true limit. Its power is boundless; not only can it burn soul power, but its temperature is also incomparable to ordinary flames, naturally capable of melting all kinds of metals!"

A wisp of crimson-gold flame appeared at Li Fei's fingertip. He handed it to Titan and explained. Tang Hao, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin also came over. Having witnessed Li Fei's previous attack, they dared not touch it, but their strength was not weak, and they could clearly feel the temperature and energy contained in the flame.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that when I cultivate to the level of a Title Douluo, my soul power will also undergo a transformation?" Titan asked, a look of delight flashing in his eyes.

"With your family's Mighty Ape Martial Soul, coupled with the cultivation of full-power attribute soul skills, you definitely have a chance to transform into Ultimate Power upon reaching the Title Douluo level. However, it will be very difficult. Transforming into Ultimate Power is much more difficult than transforming into other attributes. Based on my estimation, you would need to reach at least level 97 to have a chance!"

Li Fei explained that the Mighty Ape can only be considered a high-level martial soul, not a limit martial soul. Only after reaching level 95 and evolving the martial soul twice can it possibly reach that level.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Titan bowed to Li Fei in gratitude, feeling extremely thankful. It was Li Fei's explanation that strengthened his resolve to reach the end through strength.

"Vice President Titan, it really is you!" At this moment, the burly Si Long ran over from a distance and shouted loudly when he saw Titan.

"Hey kid, it really is you! You've gotten stronger and stronger!" Titan saw Si Long and excitedly went up to pat Si Long's burly figure. The thumping sound indicated that Titan's strength was definitely not small.

As a blacksmith and a member of the Power Clan, Titan believed that the stronger the better. He pulled Si Long to Li Fei and the others and introduced them: "This is His Majesty Li Fei, His Majesty Haotian, His Majesty Jian, and Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Si Long was startled and immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "Junior Si Long greets Your Majesties!"

"You've come at the right time. Take us to find the master craftsman Lou Gao. I need to talk to him!" Li Fei stretched out his hand and used his soul power to help Si Long up. He pointed to the large hole in the distance and said with a smile, "I left a few ultimate flames in the large hole I just created. The flames in this hole will not go out for a while. If you need, you can use those flames to forge iron."

"Is this what caused by that huge fiery fist?! The temperature is much higher than the teacher's blast furnace!" Si Long immediately ran to the big hole created by Li Fei's attack, lay down and felt the temperature inside, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Alright kid, take us to find Lou Gao! This flame isn't going away anytime soon, we can come back later. Can you take responsibility for neglecting these seniors?!" Titan stepped forward, picked up Si Long, and said irritably.

"Please, seniors!" Si Long immediately realized what was going on, gave Li Fei a sheepish smile, and then led the way toward the Blacksmith Association.

Upon entering the Blacksmiths' Association, Si Long began to introduce each floor, giving Li Fei and the others a better understanding of the association. Soon they arrived at the top floor, the highest point of the building.

At this moment, Lou Gao, with his chubby belly, was wielding a forging hammer, constantly striking the metal on the table.

"Teacher, Vice President Titan has arrived, accompanied by His Majesty Li Fei, His Majesty Haotian, His Majesty Jian, and Sect Master Ning!" Si Long hurriedly came to Lou Gao's side to remind him, fearing that his teacher might neglect these big shots because of his training.

"Your Majesty!" Lou Gao, who was wielding a forging hammer, stopped in mid-air. A look of confusion appeared on his face. He turned to look at the doorway and saw a young man and three middle-aged men standing there.

Lou Gao and Tang Hao were both people he had met before. To have them accompany him, their status and strength were certainly extraordinary. He understood that Si Long was right. He placed the forging hammer on the table and immediately said respectfully, "Lou Gao greets all Your Excellencies!"

"Senior Lou Gao, no need for formalities. I've come to see you about something!" Li Fei said with a smile as he stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Even if Lou Gao himself was unreliable, he dared not be negligent in the slightest when facing a Title Douluo like Li Fei, and said seriously.

"I hope that Senior Lou Gao can lead the entire Blacksmith Association to join the Heaven Dou Empire!" Li Fei's expression also became serious.

"Your Majesty, may I...?"

"Don't think about refusing yet, could you please listen to my reasons first!"

Seeing that Lou Gao was about to refuse, Li Fei quickly interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Lou Gao said with some difficulty, not daring to refuse.

"I know that Gengjin City maintains a neutral stance on the continent, and the Blacksmiths' Association is even more so. However, the upcoming war could very well engulf the entire continent. Do you think Gengjin City and the Blacksmiths' Association can still maintain their neutrality?!"

"Even so, do Gengjin City and the Blacksmiths' Association really have to choose the Heavenly Dou Empire?!"

Lou Gao frowned slightly and said with a hint of displeasure.

"The man beside me is the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. You must know about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's ability to appraise treasures. After joining the Heaven Dou Empire, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will give priority to providing the Blacksmith Association with various precious materials!" Li Fei walked to Ning Fengzhi's side and said with a smile.

Ning Fengzhi forced a smile at Lou Gao, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Lou Gao unconsciously swallowed, then stubbornly replied, "Our Blacksmith Association has quite a few martial spirits with strong appraisal abilities; we don't lack precious materials!"

"There's a volcano in the Sunset Forest of the Heavenly Dou Empire. I've set up an array inside, and it contains flames of this intensity!" Li Fei produced a wisp of extreme fire at his fingertips and held it up to Lou Gao's face, continuing to tempt him.

Feeling the temperature of the flames, Lou Gao's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. His eyes were fixed on the extreme fire. He took a piece of cold-hearted iron essence from the forging table next to him and placed it on the flames on Li Fei's fingertips. It quickly turned into molten iron!

"This is the hardest metal on the entire continent, and it turned into molten iron in just a few seconds!" Lou Gao stared in shock at the molten iron dripping onto the ground, then looked up at Li Fei: "Your Majesty, are you sure there's a flame of this level there?!"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie, but the flames are deep in the magma, so it will take some effort if you want to use them!" Li Fei said with a smile.

Lou Gao was immediately disappointed: "It's deep inside the lava!"

"I have some blueprints here that I think you'll find very interesting!" Seeing that Lou Gao was already interested, Li Fei smiled slightly, took out the blueprints of the soul tool he designed from his storage bracelet, and handed them to Lou Gao.

"This is... the blueprint for a soul tool..." Lou Gao looked at the blueprint in his hand, his body began to tremble, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Of course, I am not only a Soul Master, but also a Level 7 Soul Master. As long as the Blacksmith Association joins the Heaven Dou Empire, I am willing to hand over all the Soul Tool knowledge I have studied over the years to you, senior!" Li Fei nodded with a smile and took out a few Soul Tools he had made and handed them over.

Lou Gaoyi stared intently at the blueprints and soul tool in her hands, then said to Si Long beside her, "Si Long, hurry up and pack your things, we're moving!"

"Where are we moving to?!" Si Long asked, completely bewildered.

"Idiot, of course we're moving to Tiandou City! What would we do if we didn't take advantage of such good conditions there?!" Lou Gao slapped Si Long on the forehead and said irritably.

"Ah!" Si Long exclaimed in shock, "What about the blacksmiths' association?!"

"Let Sizhe serve as the association president here, and you come with me to Tiandou City!" Lou Gao said after thinking for a moment.

Silong: "..."

Li Fei: "..."

Titan: "..."

……

The people present were immediately helpless. Li Fei's lips twitched. He didn't expect that just a few soul tools and blueprints would turn Lou Gao into what he is now. He should have taken them out earlier.

Seeing Lou Gao still obsessed with the soul tool and blueprints, Li Fei sighed and said helplessly, "Sect Master Ning, this is Gengjin City, and there are all sorts of dusty metals here. I'd appreciate it if you could go and purchase some."

"Okay! I'll go right away!" Ning Fengzhi saw that Lou Gao would need a little more time, so he agreed and took Chen Xin out of the blacksmith's association to start purchasing.

Li Fei waited next to Lou Gao for answers to his questions. Sure enough, after Lou Gao fired a shot, he disassembled the soul-guided cannon and began to study it.

"Your Majesty, the structure of this soul-guided cannon is clearly very simple. How did it manage to make my soul power condense into a soul power projectile?!"
