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

The actions of the doves have already entered a gray area; the Tang Clan sells weapons, and some high-quality goods produced only at headquarters are shipped through the port of Beihai.

The Federation is now inevitably closely linked to the Star Luo Empire, and under such circumstances, it is only a matter of time before these things are discovered.

The Tang Clan has already begun to sever ties. Fortunately, Xingluo has never had a large-scale war with the Federation, so the Tang Clan's weapons are useless and still within the Federation's tolerance range. They can still manage to cut their losses and survive by preparing a pledge of allegiance.

The Shen family's outburst put the Tang Clan in a difficult position.

Both families knew each other's secrets. What Zang Xin was really afraid of was that if the Tang Clan betrayed them now, the Shen family might use the "Heaven and Earth Together" technique to drag the Tang Clan down with them in a fit of rage.

But if they don't choose sides now, things will only get worse for the Tang Clan once the hawks have completely taken control.

"The Lord of the Ruthless Palace will continue to cooperate with the Blood God Legion to prevent the Abyss's counterattack, while I will shift all my focus to the manufacture of soul-guided weapons during this period. I am truly overwhelmed with work, but of course, the Tang Sect will go through fire and water to implement the decision."

There are more than just two factions: hawks and doves. Give a reasonable reason to stay in the neutral camp first, and then proceed step by step.

As long as the Tang Clan doesn't betray the Shen family, they won't be able to solidify their resolve.

Tang Sect's attempt to switch sides and remain neutral, along with their plan to pull Blood God and kick Spirit Transmission, not only failed but also provoked the anger of both factions.

The Shen family is in danger!

Shen Ming only regretted not having three heads and six arms. The four families of Yu, Chen, Guo, and Qian Gu were eyeing him with greedy intent, while the neutral faction was a fence-sitter supported by powerful forces, and watching from the sidelines was the best outcome.

"The oracle's message mentions uniting against the enemy, which implies that unification is not desired. Otherwise, why not just issue an order for annexation!" Shen Ming, quick-witted, forcefully deconstructed the oracle's message.

An old fox is an old fox; his potential explodes when faced with dire circumstances.

Shrek Academy, Tang Clan, Spirit Pagoda, and the Chen Family all had strange looks in their eyes. At the time, they said that it was to pursue a rapid alliance to deal with the Abyss, but there weren't so many twists and turns involved.

Chen Xinjie coughed lightly, signaling everyone to turn their attention to him.

"There may be some misunderstanding about the divine oracle. The disappearance of the divine realm means that the divine oracle was not delivered by the gods themselves. It was just a wisp of our ancestors' will that sensed that Douluo Star was in a critical moment of survival and gave us a warning. As for the content of the joint resistance against the enemy, it was a statement we came up with together in order to get the Star Luo Empire to cooperate as soon as possible and jointly deal with the crisis of the abyss."

Without Shrek,

No, without Long Yeyue's dove faction, Chen Xinjie's last remaining ties were severed.

He admitted that they had lied.

Since it was a lie, the Shen family's reasoning fell apart on its own.

Did the others feel they were being played?

They won't.

Shen Ming's pupils dilated as he slumped into a chair. Looking around, he saw that his only ally was a lone commander, Ya Li, who was not going to speak. The doves were now surrounded by enemies and were in dire straits.

Chapter 218 Shen Ming's Unyielding Spirit...

With one of the three key figures of the doves dead, one gone, and one in a state of despair, and the hawks united as one, the doves' demise is not far off under the current circumstances.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; history is written by the victors, a fact that is vividly demonstrated.

From time to time, sharp, provocative remarks could be heard coming from the corners, such as the millennia-long internal strife that allowed the dirty hands of the Star Luo faction to touch the precious resources of the Star Luo continent...

Zang Xin raised his arm and shouted, "The evil doves have been annihilated! The unification of the mainland is an unstoppable trend!"

Subduing the enemy is also protecting the future people, which is in line with the title of guardian of the Tang Sect Douluo!

Dong Zi'an's proposal was unanimously approved, defining the relationship between the Star Luo Empire, the Dou Ling Empire, and the Federation as a wartime alliance. In this process, they would flex their muscles, weaken the Federation's confidence, and find an opportunity to reclaim the territory in one fell swoop.

……

In the final summary of the meeting, all parties agreed on a combat strategy centered on the Blood God Legion, with real-time intelligence sharing.

Cooperate with the Angel Family to search for traces of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Send people to conduct final negotiations. If that fails, deal with the Haotian Sect and, if necessary, use coercive measures.

We are determined to subdue the two continents of Xingluo and Douling, but we will try to do so through a policy of appeasement.

The conference concluded, and various factions gradually withdrew.

Immediately after the meeting, Zhenhua approached Qian Gu Xingci and inquired about his progress in Soul Forging during this period. Qian Gu Xingci had already become an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman.

Upon hearing this good news, Captain Zhenhua, filled with dread, said, "Xingci, I want to retire..."

After agreeing to wait until the title of "Eternal Star Resignation" is conferred, they will begin their attempt to reach the realm of "Divine Craftsman".

Mu Ye pulled Qian Gu Xing Ci aside, pinching and touching him here and there, using a secret technique to scan the growing innate energy within Qian Gu Xing Ci's body, and asked, "It seems that the innate secret technique has been cultivated to the reshaping realm."

The Innate Secret Techniques and the Marrow Cleansing Realm can only maintain the body's innate energy in the state it was in before practicing the secret techniques. Only in later realms can one truly strengthen the so-called innate energy.

Reshaping, as the name suggests, is to elevate the innate energy to its strongest state within the mother body, laying the foundation for the final golden body and even the flawless golden body.

"The energy in the abyss has been of great help to me. The path to the Golden Body is clear; all that's missing is the accumulation of time," Qian Gu Xing Ci corrected his master's mistake.

Makino's eyes were filled with fervor. What grade would a second awakening of a congenital gold-level being be after a third awakening?

Is there a path forward beyond gold?

As the excitement subsided, sorrow welled up in Makino's heart once more.

Can a Gold-level Body Martial Soul undergo three awakenings?

Makino did not complete the three awakenings, while Aruheng could be said to have followed the predetermined path and completed the three awakenings in a single ordinary extreme training session.

He wanted to share his experience, but unfortunately, he lacked the knowledge to back it up. Speaking carelessly is a major taboo for teachers; it misleads students.

"Then, let's wait for good news."

Makino could only solemnly pat his prized student on the shoulder, and then follow closely behind as Zhenhua's bodyguard.

Only Qian Gu Xing Ci remained in place. He looked around and quickly walked towards the elegantly designed phoenix mech not far away.

"Aunt Leng! Wait for me, I'll come with you!" He waved and shouted to the cold and beautiful woman in a black dress next to the mecha.

"I chatted with a few old friends for a while, and it seems like it went perfectly." Leng Yaozhu saw Zhenhua and Muye leaving as she went out.

The Spirit Pagoda's Heavenly Phoenix Douluo is quite eye-catching, and Qian Gu Xing Ci ended up in the rich woman's car.

"I almost didn't make it home," Qian Gu Xing Ci said, slumped in his chair.

"They've even gotten hooked on acting. Those people are too busy taking care of themselves to worry about this," Leng Yaozhu laughed.

"Looks like I'll still need to get a mecha suit in the future."

After Leng Yaozhu activated the mecha, she turned around and said, "You are the next generation of master craftsmen. You have even solved the long-standing problem of materials for mechas."

"We're short of designers and manufacturers. Gu Yue is doing research, and Na'er is in the army and doesn't have time."

Two long, slender, fair fingers gently pinched Qian Gu Xing Ci's cheek.

"Okay, after all this trouble, you just wanted me to be your free labor." Leng Yaozhu deliberately rubbed my hand harder before letting go. "If you really have any ideas, send me the materials later."

"If we're going to build a mecha, we'll build the best mecha in the world!" Qian Gu Xing Ci declared with boundless ambition.

Leng Yaozhu considered for a moment, "The scope of god-level mecha is very broad. The bottom line is a spirit-forged metal shell mixed with a soul-forged metal soul guide core. Since mechas are not the mainstream in the eyes of the strong on the continent, the amount of metal used is comparable to several sets of battle armor. Mechas made of pure soul-forged metal are very rare."

The best mecha of our time should be the one that originally belonged to Zhongxing Douluo, which is said to have incorporated a small amount of Heavenly Forged Metal.

Having a good relationship with the master craftsman means you can do whatever you want—use the best mecha, and be the lowest-ranking and worst-background among the four-word battle armor users...

"A mecha forged by pure heaven!" Qian Gu Xing Ci spoke Leng Yao Zhu's inner thoughts.

Leng Yaozhu's gaze swept back and forth. Heavenly Forging was extremely taxing on one's blood and energy. Zhen Hua was quite young for a Title Douluo, but his temples were already gray. Coincidentally, the next generation of Divine Craftsmen was a Soul Master with a top-tier Body Martial Soul.

Not only that, Qian Gu Xing Ci is also a lightning-attribute soul master, possessing the ultimate lightning and the Thunderous Hell Vine. His resistance to the Heavenly Forging Lightning Tribulation is so high that it is truly a rare talent.

"Whatever makes you happy," Leng Yaozhu said helplessly.

The communicator beeped, and Shen Ming's name appeared on the central control screen.

Leng Yaozhu put her finger to her red lips in a shushing gesture, then answered the phone.

The screen showed Shen Ming's dejected face. "Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, may I have a word with you in private?"

"Mr. Shen, how did the Soul Guidance Communication connect with 'Let's Talk in a Step'?" Leng Yaozhu had a guess in her mind; it was no secret that Qian Gu Xingci had boarded her mecha.

"I have a matter to discuss with the Spirit Pagoda, but with the Leng family behind you."

Strictly speaking, Shen Ming is of the same generation as Qian Gu Die Ting and others, but he is much younger. As an elder, he speaks with humility, which means he needs her help.

Leng Yaozhu then followed his instructions and sealed off the space, ignoring Qian Guxingci lying next to him.

"The Shen family, intending to protect themselves, needs the help of some allies." These words drained Shen Ming of his spirits.

Leng Yaozhu said seriously, "This incident is not enough to push the Shen family out of the ruling family of the Northern Navy. With the complicated marriage ties between the five major families, it wouldn't be difficult for the Shen family to protect themselves if they only wanted to do so, would it?"

"To be honest, the price my Shen family cannot afford." The Shen family cannot bear the cost of falling from grace.

“The hawks are powerful. Speaking up for you at this time would be suicide. Besides, there’s nothing I, the Leng family, can do on my own.” Leng Yaozhu crossed her arms.

Shen Ming shook his head, "It's not about helping my Shen family, but about helping Xingluo."

Leng Yaozhu's expression turned slightly cold. "Preventing Xingluo from being taken back? Let's forget about that."

Shen Ming smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The hawks have already won, how could Xingluo not take back its power? One ally like you isn't enough, so what about Xingluo, whose influence has increased with our help?"

This guidance helped Leng Yaozhu understand the Shen family's intentions, enabling the Star Luo Empire to gain more influence. Later, she persuaded Dai Tianling to attribute the credit to the Shen family, and the Star Luo Empire, now part of the Federation, sided with the Shen family.

An old fox is indeed an old fox!

"not enough."

"And what about adding the Tang Clan?"

“I’m sorry, but I’m still quite satisfied with the current state of my family,” Leng Yaozhu said.

Shen Ming narrowed his eyes. "Guess why I went to the Leng family?"

“I am the deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Qian Gu family is at odds with you,” Leng Yaozhu said.

“That’s one aspect, but I only know a little about your sister’s behavior. What would happen if others knew?” Shen Ming revealed his trump card.

Leng Yaozhu's long hair fluttered, her elegant and noble demeanor crumbling. "Threatening me?"

"Since I have the leverage, why shouldn't I use it?" Shen Ming said confidently.

"Give me time to think it over," Leng Yaozhu said coldly.

"I look forward to your decision," Shen Ming said before hanging up the phone.

As Qian Gu Xing Ci racked his brains trying to figure out how to comfort Leng Yao Zhu, his phone rang.

He looked at the screen, where the contact name was Xue Yi Cao Dezhi.
