Douluo Dragon King: Doumu's Blessing, I Am the Star Lord

The poor little metal had never enjoyed such an emperor-like life where everything was done for him. The sound of smacking his lips became the echo of soul forging, and the action of swallowing became the solidification process.

"Is it because the metal doesn't suit the taste that it's difficult to generate an echo? Yes, when blacksmiths forge metals that are compatible with their martial soul, their success rate and quality are almost always higher than average."

Forging is about giving them a soul, making them come alive; vitality truly is a panacea.

Zhenhua stroked his chin, analyzing the situation, and said, "I'll take the time to publish an exclusive paper first!"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, everything is developing in a positive direction, but the brilliance it displays is becoming increasingly faint.

"Huh? How could this fail? That pure life force is a great tonic."

Zhenhua was completely baffled. Based on his experience, Qian Gu Xing Ci had made no mistakes and was developing smoothly. If he gave it to Mu Chen, he could forge a top-grade soul forging that was no weaker than one made by a master craftsman!

“It is indeed very nourishing,” Makino said.

"You understand now?" Zhenhua asked.

"Have you studied medicine? This is called 'the body cannot tolerate tonics.' The Star Luo Continent does have some unique metals, but some of them are actually of lower quality than those from your place. The life force is too pure; the metals don't have that much intelligence. They only know that these are good things and that you should eat more of them."

The Body Sect is unparalleled in its research on the human body. Extreme training involving disembowelment is commonplace. As a sect with extremely strong cohesion, wounded soldiers will voluntarily become "silent teachers" during the healing process for their records to be kept.

Zhenhua suddenly realized that he knew the principle of "the body cannot tolerate strong tonics," but he really didn't expect it to happen to metal: "So this is indigestion."

Makino glared and puffed out his beard: "You city bumpkin, the scientific name for this should be acute vitality poisoning!"

Putting "vitality" and "poisoning" together—such niche terms...

Qian Gu Xing Ci picked up the piece of metal, "These can all be considered half-step Soul Forging."

This isn't my dark history; it's the path I came from!

When he became the master of the Spirit Pagoda and knew his destiny, when he also served as the divine craftsman and was at peace with the world, when he became the number one on the continent and could do as he pleased without overstepping the bounds!

"Xingci, that's enough for today. Soul Forging will come naturally with regular practice. I'm going to bring those master craftsmen back for a meeting." Zhenhua hung up the phone after saying that.

Zhang Geyang, with a smug look on his face, envisioned a happy future. He had great potential, and the four-word battle armor would definitely be among the highest priority. The family would be on a fast track of progress for the next two hundred years!

Seeing Qian Gu Xing Ci emerge, Leng Yao Zhu took out a towel to wipe his sweat and said, "Gu Yue sent a message saying they will arrive on the Star Luo Continent in about half a month."

"I'll pick them up then."

"And then there's Dai Yun'er, who's dragged people from Monster Academy along again, and this time they even put up a banner," Leng Yaozhu said with a strange expression.

"Has Long Yue arrived, Aunt Leng?" Qian Gu Xing Ci showed a slight interest.

Leng Yaozhu shook her head. "According to the information released by Holy Dragon Douluo, Long Yue has been staying at home since the last banquet, preparing for his battle with you."

Qian Gu Xing Ci sighed; "What a mess! If word gets out that the royal princess came to the Spirit Pagoda and caused a scene, people will think we've done something that will incur divine wrath. I'll go and handle it."

Leng Yaozhu moved lightly behind him and helped Qian Guxingci comb his hair again. At the same time, she put a crimson woven bracelet on his hand, with a bright feather hanging from it, which was the Heavenly Phoenix Feather.

"One should still be mindful of one's image when doing these things, which likely involves Dai Tianling's tacit approval."

Feeling the soft touch on his back, Qian Gu Xing Ci couldn't help but feel a little distracted, and the awkward atmosphere made him quickly decline and leave.

After watching the figure flee in a panic, Leng Yaozhu pinched her flushed cheeks with both hands. She had previously said she wanted to give a gift, but this was just an excuse to get the feather back. In the end, she placed her hands on her lower abdomen, bowed, and regretfully admitted that her craftsmanship was not good enough and she had failed.

How did it actually happen? How did it go so smoothly and unexpectedly? How did it even get sent out so unexpectedly...?

On the Spirit Pagoda Square,

Wind King Lin San and Shadow King Tengteng held up a banner on either side of each other. One of them secretly controlled a whirlwind to stir up dust and sand to cover his face, while the other used his shadow to cover his face.

The banner read: "Martial arts contest to find a husband! Winners will have no worries about high-level salaries, and becoming a prince consort will even get you a princess!"

There was also a person wearing a wig and with their face painted like a cat reciting slogans in a high-pitched voice.

Dai Yun'er, dressed in a long gown, sat on the bridal sedan chair, her face mischievous. She didn't want to marry Long Yue. It wasn't that Long Yue was bad; on the contrary, a future Limit Douluo, tough and unreasonable in front of outsiders, but smiling at one person only.

The treatment she received was the envy of many, and some on the Star Luo Empire's dark web even criticized the princess for being blind to talent.

Some people say that she was born as the emperor's only daughter, so it's actually quite fitting that she met such a good match.

In a world like Douluo Continent where extraordinary powers exist, talent and strength are the most important factors in choosing a spouse. However, this princess's way of thinking is quite different.

Dai Yun'er was very interested in this young but incredibly powerful man, which could be interpreted as: Man, I've got my eye on you!

Princess Yun'er is satisfied with both marrying a handsome man and becoming a single noblewoman. What should she do when she suffers from decision paralysis?

A: Out of great compassion, give the choice to the other party!

The kitten felt good about itself, then turned around and saw its beloved Fourth Prince cultivating, so it dragged him over to act as its slave!

Chapter 134 A Tribute to the Nonsense of Copying a Tiger and Drawing a Cat: Mirror Image

The sun was shining brightly today. The staff of the Spirit Pagoda received instructions from their superiors not to stop these people, as a specialist would come to handle the situation.

It's human nature to watch a spectacle. Scenes like today's have happened before. The banner Dai Yun'er brought was practically naming names, and all the staff members brought out their stools to watch the show.

One of the main characters makes his appearance. Qian Gu Xing Ci looks down at the scene with his hands in his pockets, exuding a sense of powerlessness, as if he is trapped by the heavy pressure of life.

Under the scan of his mental power, he discovered an even more unfortunate child, wearing a wig, sporting a fashionable cat-like makeup, his throat hoarse from shouting, and then gulping down water.

Qian Gu Xing Ci came to his side, handed him a bottle of water, and then pretended to start reasoning: "The two who held up the banner for Princess Dai Yun'er are both among the Eight Kings of Monster Academy, so you are very likely one too. This makeup is very interesting; it's obviously copied."

First, we can rule out Dai Yueyan; you must be Tower King Ye Zhi!

Dai Yueyan kept apologizing to Ye Zhi in his heart, and then nodded vigorously.

Do you want to know how I guessed it?

Ye Zhi shook her head, and then a pair of hands landed on her shoulders. The person smiled broadly, revealing eight teeth, and said, "No, you want to."

Qian Gu Xing Ci shook his head and tried to find a reason for "Ye Zhi".

"Look, brother...sister, although your surname is Ye, you are actually a legitimate member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. In this era, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda faces too many restrictions."

For this reason, he... you had no choice but to abandon the rule that you had to marry into the family and that children would take the mother's surname, and later split into two branches, each settling in their own corner.

Who are the most famous people in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School? It must be the Nine Treasure Douluo Ning Rongrong and her husband, the God of Food Douluo Oscar.

Historical records indicate that Oscar's fifth soul skill was "Mirror Image of a Tiger and a Cat." So... are you imitating your predecessor?

He bowed slightly to Dai Yueyan and said, "Fourth Prince, is there any truth to what I said?"

Dai Yueyan stopped pretending and said, "It's me, I'm coming clean!"

"You already found out?"

"You just wore a wig and drew some lines on your face. You didn't use any disguise device or any aura-blocking device. You can think your makeup is unparalleled, but don't think I'm blind. But speaking of which, your face is indeed unparalleled. May I ask who the master is?" Qian Gu Xing Ci said speechlessly.

"Uh, you like it too?" Dai Yueyan suspected that the other person was out of their mind.

Qian Gu Xing Ci said loudly, "Spirit Pagoda, listen to my command! You must remember the name the next person will say. Never ask him to do your makeup. Just look at this brother's miserable state and you'll know why."

"What exactly do you want?"

"A martial arts contest to find a husband!" came a voice from inside the sedan chair.

Qian Gu Xing Ci really didn't know what to say. In the past, when he transformed into the number one fan of Yan Ling in the Tang Clan, he could still push this matter onto Yan Ling.

Based on the incredibly sacred statement from the Tang Clan brought back by Leng Yaozhu, Qian Gu Xing Ci felt that Qian Gu Dong Feng was slightly lacking in literary talent, and Xing Luo Di Huang was somewhat inferior in style.

Hu Jie explained why Yan Ling was late in arriving by saying that Yan Ling had delayed the ocean voyage, and the Tang Sect's losses were enormous. They lost a full twenty fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, and the mechas were all destroyed by the Holy Spirit Cult. Yan Ling could only desperately flap her wings until she was bare and fly away.

The foolish emperor failed to notice that the smiling tiger hadn't specified the grade of the cannonballs...

Soul Masters who haven't broken through to Soul Saint level find it difficult to fly for extended periods, and Yan Ling happens to be in this awkward phase. Within the maximum distance he can fly, there are no islands in the Federation's waters where he can land.

The phoenix, representing light, belongs to the fire element; a drowned rat is no match for it.

So he could only travel 500 nautical miles and then turn back, demonstrating his inability to go...

From then on, Qian Gu Xing Ci lost Yan Ling as his shield!

"Your Highness, what can we do to make you leave?" He was truly at his wit's end.

"You can choose to drive me away."

"Actually, I don't want to drive you away."

Dai Yun'er's eyelashes fluttered; was her love about to arrive?

The prerequisite for driving someone away is winning the fight, and winning means agreeing. It's less about leaving and more about meeting the parents!

One question is which foot should step off the sedan chair first? Another is whether to agree directly or half-heartedly. I've heard that men don't cherish things that are too easily obtained.

Neurons in the brain are rapidly working together to determine the next course of action.

"Actually, the only method I can think of is... to just kill him." The boy spoke these words with a chilling murderous intent, his face beaming with a smile.

Seeing the utter silence, he added, "Are you doubting my abilities?"

Black, black, black, blue-gold, blood red!

Six terrifying spirit rings fluttered in the air, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Soul... Soul... Soul Emperor! A 100,000-year-old red soul ring!"

Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes widened, her cherry lips slightly open. Last time when she was at the Soul King level, she could slap them one by one. Now that she has completed the Soul Emperor super evolution and has a 100,000-year soul ring plug-in, she can slap them all at once.

Being forced to exit the Ascension Platform after being attacked is equivalent to death in reality. The tiger-like kneeling and begging for mercy is a skill that comes naturally without any instruction!

Lin San touched his forehead; it was just sweat. How could he let this kind of opponent bleed!

Upon receiving the telepathic message, Dai Yueyan hurriedly scrambled away. This operation was indeed tacitly approved by Dai Tianling, who secretly arranged for Enci to accompany and protect him.

With all four major powers of the Douluo Federation except the War God Temple stationed here, the situation has become even more unpredictable.

The Dai family led the way in fleeing to the Star Luo Continent and was able to suppress other families, which is why they were able to secure their throne.

Forceful suppression does not equate to genuine submission; these families undoubtedly harbor resentment towards the royal family. They conceal their true intentions to avoid giving Dai Tianling any ammunition to have their entire families executed.

Dai Yueyan was also quite politically astute. At first glance, he was worried about a terrible future: what if Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda formed a small group to support a family to replace the royal family and seize more benefits?

The Shi Tang Alliance is far superior to their previous makeshift team. Needless to say, the leader of the Spirit Pagoda is absolutely capable of temporarily setting aside grudges when interests are at stake.

Dai Tianling now needs to establish contact with at least one of the forces, and since Dai Yun'er has this idea, he naturally gives it a push.

"So the upcoming Shrek Academy has inadvertently forced Xingluo to cultivate good relations with them. But if we really agree, our already precarious relationship with Tangmen will probably be severed. The weapons Tangmen sells are a core part of their national defense."

The series of butterfly effects caused by Qian Gu Dong Feng's decision to abandon cooperation with the Holy Spirit Cult made Qian Gu Xing Ci wonder how this could have developed into a top-level intellectual battle.

Zhang Geyang said, "That would simply be to pin the problem on Dai Yun'er personally, and then impose a symbolic punishment by expelling her from the royal family."

"Shrek's situation is going to get quite lively here," Leng Yaozhu commented fairly.
