The ancient breeze remained silent, and a halberd with a profound and imposing aura appeared in its hand.
The Hellfire Halberd Martial Soul appeared, and his silence was deafening.
Leng Yaozhu smiled awkwardly, forgetting that this person's martial soul was not the Panlong Staff.
Leng Yaozhu looked at Qian Gu Qingfeng and suddenly asked, "Was your statement 'as long as Shrek Academy exists' really just a whim?"
Qian Gu Qingfeng explained calmly, "You should have noticed the actions of those people in the Federation. They've been targeting Shrek Academy, and who knows what crazy things they might do."
"You really expect those politicians who only know how to talk big to bring down Shrek?" Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow.
"That's not important." Qian Gu Qing Feng shook his head.
Leng Yaozhu noticed the blind spot, "Are you implying that the Qian Gu family was also involved?"
"Dongfeng did fan the flames, but it wouldn't be accurate to say they participated. Dongfeng probably didn't expect that their makeshift team could accomplish anything; they just wanted to cause some trouble for Shrek Academy," Qian Gu Qingfeng bluntly stated.
"Given the enmity between the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy, once Xingci grows up, Shrek Academy will inevitably face a purge. Although it may not be completely expelled, it won't be good either. At the very least, people like Long Yeyue will not survive."
Besides, Shrek Academy has too many weaknesses; there's no need to cling to just one secret technique. It's good that Makino can let it go.
"Do you think I still can't forget him?" Leng Yaozhu asked back.
Qian Gu Qing Feng shrugged, saying nothing, but the meaning was self-evident.
Qian Gu Qingfeng said solemnly, "I only hope that you remain neutral and do not act recklessly. You are now a supporter of Xing Ci and stand on the same side as the Qian Gu Clan."
Leng Yaozhu sighed, her eyes deep and unfathomable: "Because of him, I fell out with the Yu Lai sisters and we went our separate ways."
To be honest, before today, I did harbor a sliver of hope, but that sliver of hope was absolutely not enough to make me go against my principles to help him.
"But after today, that thought is completely gone. To cover up the mistakes of predecessors and distort the truth for the sake of so-called glory is not the behavior of a gentleman."
"Is it worth spending nearly a century to see a person for who they truly are?"
It's not worth it. But it's still better than wasting your whole life.
She looked at Qian Gu Qingfeng and suddenly asked, "Tell me, is this kind of person someone who has been invincible his whole life, which has shaped his personality, or is he just naturally like this?"
Qian Gu Qingfeng didn't answer, but instead smiled and asked, "With Xing Ci's talent, even if he doesn't follow Yun Ming's path, he's destined to be invincible in the future. Do you think Xing Ci will become like him?"
Leng Yaozhu chuckled and shook her head: "Alright, I know you love your wife and have a good son."
"Speaking of which, Zheng Leng's judgment is far better than mine and Yu Lai's."
Qian Gu Qingfeng smiled smugly: "That's for sure."
Leng Yaozhu smiled as well, her tone softening slightly: "Alright, that's all. When you have time, please have Xingci and Na'er come and visit this lonely old woman."
The two remained silent and returned directly to the Spirit Pagoda.
It wasn't until they reached the fork in the road that Qian Gu Qingfeng realized Leng Yaozhu had been following him the whole time. He stopped and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, what are you doing following me?"
Leng Yaozhu's eyes were calm, and her tone was confident: "Believe it or not, Gu Yue is most likely in your mansion."
Qian Gu Qing Feng opened his mouth, but couldn't find a single word to refute it.
Upon closer examination, every sentence makes perfect sense, and there's not a single fault to be found.
When the two returned to the Qian Gu family mansion and pushed open the door, the living room was empty.
Leng Yaozhu's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly.
Could it be that her sixth sense was wrong, and her judgment just now was off?
Just then, a telepathic message accurately reached their ears; it was Xia Zheng Leng's voice.
Following the signs, the two went straight up to the second floor and entered the battle armor room next to the forging room!
As soon as they stepped into the battle armor room, the two looked up and saw Xia Zheng Leng and Qian Gu Xing Ci sitting in the rest area outside.
Qian Gu Qing Feng slowed his pace and asked in a low voice, "Zheng Leng, what's going on?"
Xia Zheng raised her hand and pointed to the area covered by the soundproofing array, replying, "Gu Yue is forging her two-word battle armor inside."
Leng Yaozhu's gaze pierced through the transparent magic array barrier, revealing the scene inside. A look of understanding flashed across her eyes: "So that's how it is."
No wonder Black Dragon Douluo mentioned that Gu Yue and Na'er had an unparalleled compatibility, which allowed Gu Yue to use the Silver Dragon Spear to carve the core array of the battle armor.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhengleng looked puzzled and turned to Leng Yaozhu, asking softly, "Xing Ci was able to wield a two-word battle armor at the Soul Sect realm before because of the strong physical endurance brought by his original martial soul."
But Gu Yue's martial soul is that of an elementalist, which has always had limited enhancement to the physical body. How could she possibly attempt to forge a two-word battle armor at this stage?
Leng Yaozhu withdrew her gaze and explained calmly, "Gu Yue's father had sent me a message earlier that her martial soul was never fully awakened from the beginning. The so-called elementalist is just the tip of the iceberg of her abilities."
This time, upon returning to her family, with the help of Na'er, her martial soul has been fully awakened, named Seven-Colored Dragon, which is a lower-level bloodline of the Silver Dragon.
Moreover, it possesses an extremely pure silver dragon bloodline, and there is even a possibility of it reverting to its ancestral form, making it theoretically the strongest beast spirit that humans can bear: the silver dragon.
It is widely known that the Silver Dragon excels in extreme elemental control and mental power, but its physical strength is relatively weak.
However, this 'weakness' is only relative to its own unparalleled spiritual power and the golden dragon's unmatched physical strength.
In terms of the physical enhancement brought by the Seven-Colored Dragon bloodline alone, it is already comparable to any top-tier beast spirit on the continent.
With her current physical foundation, she is naturally qualified to attempt the forging of a two-word battle armor.
On the sofa in the outer room, Qian Gu Xing Ci, who had been lost in thought, was jolted awake the moment he heard the words "Ancestral Silver Dragon," snapping him back from his reverie.
Gu Yue had told him about the awakening of the Seven-Colored Dragon Martial Soul after she came out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
This is not some Silver Dragon Martial Soul, this is clearly the Silver Dragon King himself!
So this is paving the way for them in advance, waiting for the next wave to bring a massive increase in strength, right?
Chapter 35: Time to See the World (Please Read On)
As Gu Yue moved his fingertips, the static battle armor parts suddenly burst forth with a continuous stream of seven-colored light.
The surrounding elements of heaven and earth were instantly stirred, boiling and surging at a visible speed, and finally all converged on the right-hand armor in her hand.
The difficulty of making different parts of the battle armor varies greatly. The right hand armor has a relatively simple structure, making it the most suitable for refining the craftsmanship and accumulating experience.
If we're just talking about compatibility, for Gu Yue, the most important part should be the headband that can amplify mental power.
Leng Yaozhu gazed at the figure within the magic array, "Gu Yue is already at level 48 in soul power. As long as the benefits of comprehending the Dao under the Golden Tree are not as bad as they say, breaking through to Soul King will be a natural outcome."
By then, she will be strong enough to carry a full set of two-word battle armor.
Xia Zheng turned her head to look at Qian Gu Xingci beside her and asked softly, "Xingci, after you advanced to the sixth level of blacksmith, was there a lot of pressure in forging the rare alloys needed for their battle armor?"
Qian Gu Xing Ci shook his head, his tone calm: "I have twin martial souls, and my ability system is complex, so the fusion of the required alloys will be a bit more difficult."
Gu Yue and Na'er's needs are simpler, with a single metal attribute, making their compatibility easier to control.
"Give me a few days, and I can forge all the metal needed for their two sets of two-word battle armor."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but chuckle: "To be able to forge divine base alloys so easily, even the current master craftsman Zhen Hua would find it difficult to have such confidence and ability at your age."
It seems that by the time the All-Federation Grand Competition comes around, you and Gu Yue will be able to become Soul Kings wielding two-word battle armor.
"When they challenge those so-called geniuses to compete in the youth group, it'll be a good opportunity for them to see what real competition is like."
Qian Gu Xing Ci was about to say, "You should be more humble and go see the world," when he realized the meaning behind Leng Yao Zhu's words.
Did you find yourself to be worldly-wise after venturing out and exploring the world?
He smiled helplessly: "Aunt Leng, isn't what we're doing a bit too ostentatious?"
Leng Yaozhu smiled and raised her hand to rub his hair, which was as soft as stars. The texture was smoother than she could have imagined: "The strongest in the youth group is only a Soul Emperor wearing a two-word battle armor."
But the quality of their battle armor is so poor that it's not even worthy of carrying your shoes.
At this moment, Qian Gu Qingfeng took out his soul-guided communicator and opened the latest updated list of young geniuses. The screen prominently displayed the second-ranked Star Emperor Qian Gu Xing Ci and the third-ranked Elemental Gu Yue.
"The news that you two teamed up to dethrone the second, third, and fourth place on the original list had just spread when Dongfeng updated the list."
The top spot on the list of young geniuses will soon be too old to continue, but he will also participate in this Federation-wide competition. He is the defending champion in the youth group and hails from the Tang Clan.
A sharp glint flashed in Qian Gu Xing Ci's eyes, and his tone was full of youthful confidence and arrogance: "Perfect, I'll use him as a cornerstone for my ascent to the top."
Qian Gu Qingfeng smiled and nodded, "That's ambitious."
Just then, a burst of seven-colored light suddenly broke through the barrier and blazed forth from the inner room, which was shrouded in a soundproof array!
A gentle breeze blows, water flows swiftly, flames rage across the plains, the earth trembles, and as light and darkness alternate, subtle ripples appear in the surrounding space, cracking into fine lines.
When the light faded, a slender, flowing silver-white armor was already covering Gu Yue's right hand.
The nail plate has a silver-white base with colorful patterns that meander along the knuckles, as if it has come alive, alternating and flowing with a dazzling halo under the light.
A moment later, the armor transformed into a stream of light and slowly merged into her body, completing the fusion.
The door to the inner room was pushed open, and Gu Yue and Na'er walked out side by side.
Na'er's eyes lit up, like a little animal returning to its nest. She immediately pounced into Qian Gu Xing Ci's arms, nuzzling her head against his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet: "Xing Ci, it's been so long!"
Qian Gu Xing Ci reached out and caught her, asking with a smile, "Did you enjoy the food with my master?"
These words instantly struck a chord with Na'er. Her eyes lit up like they were filled with starlight, and she nodded eagerly, counting on her delicate white fingers in a serious tone: "Just one day... eight Manchu Han Imperial Feasts!"
Following her words, Qian Gu Xing Ci asked, "Then Na'er, do you prefer Shrek City or Heaven Dou City?"
Na'er's eyes darted around, and she immediately adopted a "I want them all" attitude, waving her little hand: "Why don't we all move to Tiandou City with you!"
Gu Yue stood to the side, her brow twitching, and all she could think was: Who on earth is in Tian Dou City?!
Na'er's gaze swept over the soul guide screen in Qian Gu Qingfeng's hand, and she immediately saw Qian Gu Xing Ci and Gu Yue, who were firmly ranked second and third on the list. After scrolling down for a long time, she finally found her own name in the fifteenth position.
Her eyebrows shot up instantly, and she grabbed Qian Gu Xing Ci's collar and shook him: "What have you two been doing behind my back?!"
Why did you secretly change the rankings? Tell me! Did you get a little too cocky with your power?
She shook Qian Gu Xing Ci's arm, urging him angrily, "Xing Ci, hurry up and admit it!"
Qian Gu Xing Ci looked helpless: "Na'er, do you know what this is called? This is called forced confession."
Gu Yue smiled and slapped away Na'er's hand that was clutching her clothes. She slowly said, "The two of us teamed up to defeat the second, third, and fourth ranked people on the original list, and we also took care of a Soul Emperor from Shrek Academy. It's that simple."
She loved seeing Na'er jumping up and down in such a panic, because it meant that she had won another round in this silent contest.
Na'er became even more agitated, like a cat with its fur standing on end, and angrily asked, "You're attacking people from Shrek Academy, right? Fine, I'll go and block the gates of Shrek City tomorrow!"
Qian Gu Xing Ci quickly advised, "We are about to go to the Golden Tree to comprehend the Dao. It's not appropriate to cause trouble now."
