"Eh? Thinking about it this way, Old Man Kong isn't so miserable. After all, he didn't even accept Lu Fa as his disciple." After figuring out the key, Zhenhua became more confident.
……
When he arrived at his own small cafeteria, Zhenhua's face had returned to normal. Since he had already decided to poach someone, he would never hesitate.
Then, he saw Lufa, who seemed to be communicating with Smith. As a master craftsman, his cultivation had reached the Titled Douluo level.
Moreover, Lufa and the others were talking quite loudly. With just a slight movement of his ears, he could hear clearly what they were saying.
Lufa: "Smith, is the relationship between President Zhenhua and my teacher very bad?"
Smith looked a little embarrassed, but still whispered: "There is indeed some unpleasantness between President Kong Xuan and the God Craftsman."
Lufa asked, "What's the unpleasantness? Is there a grudge between them?"
Smith looked around and finally whispered, "I don't know the details, but I heard that the incident made President Kong Xuan lose face. For so many years, he has been trying to get back at that."
"Cough cough cough!" At this moment, Zhenhua coughed. If he let Smith continue talking, the difficulty of his plan to recruit disciples would increase dramatically, so he immediately reminded him.
Hearing Zhenhua's voice, Smith was like a mouse seeing a cat, and immediately shut up and sat in his seat, motionless.
"President."
Zhenhua waved his hand, motioning Lufa to sit down.
"Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
"Yes." Zhenhua said: "I just communicated with your master via soul communication and told him that you are here with me. He asked me to take good care of you and give you some guidance."
“President, is your relationship with my master very bad?” Lufa suddenly asked.
"Ahem." Zhenhua glared at Smith. If the other party didn't say too much, his plan to poach people would probably go more smoothly.
But he still said softly: "There is a little unpleasantness between your master and I. But that is the matter of the older generation. You don't have to worry that I will embarrass you because of it."
Zhenhua chose to take the initiative. Lu Fa was clearly asking about his relationship with Kong Xuan, but Zhenhua told Lu Fa not to worry, as he would not make things difficult for Lu Fa because of Kong Xuan's matter.
“Really?” But this seemed to let Lufa understand that their relationship was really not good.
Then, Lu Fa immediately stood up and said to Zhen Hua: "I am Lu Fa, a junior, on behalf of my master Kong Xuan. I have come to seek advice from all the blacksmiths in the Tiandou City Blacksmith Association, except for the president Zhen Hua. Please approve my challenge."
"Go away, stop making trouble." Zhenhua said unhappily. The little guy in front of him changed his expression too quickly. He had just eaten a meal here, and he called him "President" so respectfully.
Now, when he heard that his relationship with his teacher Kong Xuan was not good, he immediately declared war on his teacher's behalf. In the Tiandou City Blacksmith Association, except for him, the master craftsman, the rest of the blacksmiths were at most level six.
After all, there are only about 20 to 30 Saint-level blacksmiths in the entire continent, and they all need to serve as presidents of the association in their respective cities.
Basically, the Blacksmith Association in each large city only has one Saint Craftsman at most. The presidents of some medium-sized cities are only at the fifth or sixth level.
If this little guy were to challenge him now, then apart from him as the president, no other blacksmith in the Tiandou City Blacksmith Association could defeat him.
Moreover, the news that this little fellow was able to reach half a step in soul forging has probably spread in the association. Which blacksmith dares to compete with him!
However, Lufa's actions also made Zhenhua appreciate him even more. Not bad, not bad, not afraid of power, loyal and righteous, even facing a master craftsman like him, he was willing to seek justice for his teacher.
Chapter 269 King Crab and Blood Clam
"President, I am making this request to you very seriously." Lufa said sincerely.
"You little guy, please don't make things difficult for my old bones." Zhenhua said with a wry smile.
Then he said: "Not to mention, to some extent, I can be considered half your senior brother."
That's right, Mu Chen is his junior fellow apprentice, and Mu Chen is Kong Xuan's disciple. If you round it off, he can barely be considered Kong Xuan's disciple. With this calculation, Lu Fa, a nominal disciple, has to call him senior brother.
"Ah?" Lufa looked at him in surprise.
"Compared to the challenge, do you have any plans for your future training direction and what you want to do in the future? Tell me so that I can give you some reference." Zhenhua did not intend to say more about Kong Xuan's affairs, and instead asked Xiang Lufa what his plans for the future were.
Lu Fa pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to consolidate my soul forging foundation first, and then practice with all my strength to become a Titled Douluo as soon as possible."
Zhenhua smiled and said, "You have ambitions. Your current cultivation is still too weak. The most basic cultivation of soul forging requires the Soul Saint level.
But you can rely on the power of Qi and blood to force forge. Although this method can also forge, it can also easily make you lose Qi and blood. Now you should really focus on improving your cultivation. "
"Oh, right." Zhenhua seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to Lufa, "You look young, so you should be a student. Which soul master academy do you study in?"
"Junior, I am studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy." Lu Fa replied.
"Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy? Our association has a lot of cooperation with them. Ao Hongchen invited me to give a class to several of his students. You are one of them, right?"
"I don't know about this either." Lufa shook his head. Ao Hongchen did not mention this matter in the academy.
"It's okay. I happen to be planning to give a class there to inspire the new generation of blacksmiths. Leave me your contact number and I'll let you know when I go there to give a class."
Lufa didn't suspect anything and left his contact number.
Who is Zhenhua? How persistent must a master craftsman be to cultivate to this level?
The call I just made to Kong Xuan, on the premise of a little probing, was also to tell Kong Xuan in advance that I already knew about the existence of a child named Lu Fa.
As for the future, Lu Fa is now able to achieve half-step soul forging, and Kong Xuan can only teach him a little bit, the alloy formula for melt forging. Besides that, what else can he teach?
Could Kong Xuan still teach Tianduan? When Lu Fa reaches the Divine Craftsman level in the future, he will still have to learn from himself. With a Divine Craftsman's guidance, it will naturally be much easier to reach Tianduan.
As for whether Kong Xuan would release the people, Zhenhua had no doubt about that. Although old man Kong was indeed very stubborn, as long as it was beneficial to his disciples, he would never object.
Just like when Mu Chen left Kong Xuan's school, that was also Kong Xuan's special permission.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to get along well with this little guy Lufa. He also likes this little guy with such outstanding talent from the bottom of his heart.
Although Lufa was planning to destroy his own place, as a master craftsman, young people should have this kind of vigor and drive.
At this moment, the kitchen door opened and the chef walked in with a large plate in his hand.
Before anyone arrived, a rich and fragrant aroma had already hit him in the face. Upon smelling this scent, Lu Fa felt the qi and blood in his body fluctuate slightly.
After Nan Fusheng smelled it, his face turned red. Actually, there would be no problem. However, if he, an ordinary soul master, smelled this kind of tonic and didn't feel anything strange, then there would be a real problem. The most important thing in acting is this kind of details.
what is this?
On a huge tray with a diameter of three meters, there were two large crabs, and around the crabs were six bright red clams.
"What day is it today? You actually took out such a treasure. I can only eat such a big meal once or twice a year!" Zhenhua looked at Muye in surprise.
Makino snorted, "You're distracted all day long, how can you appreciate delicious food? This little guy has a good appetite, and his blood and qi are incredibly strong. And he likes to eat what I cook from the bottom of his heart. I cook for him, and you are taking advantage of him."
Zhenhua laughed and said, "Then I really benefited from this little guy. But you are not at a disadvantage either, in a sense, he is also yours."
Makino chuckled, "Do you think I can't see it? Eat it, kid. Eat more. This deep-sea king crab is very good for the internal organs of human soul masters.
Blood clams contain the essence of Qi and blood, which is very similar to us humans. You have a good digestive ability, I think you can eat three."
Undoubtedly, the other crab and three blood clams were prepared for Zhenhua.
As for Nan Fusheng, Muye didn't pay attention to him. He was just an ordinary soul master after all, and judging from his appearance, he obviously couldn't eat anymore.
"Thank you." Lufa stood up quickly and saluted the chef first. Although he had never heard of these things, there was no doubt that they must be good things!
Then he picked up a crab without hesitation, peeled off the shell, picked up the crab legs, and started eating it directly.
The meat is sweet and soft. After just a few chews, it turns into a sweet and warm liquid that slides into the throat.
"Huh?" Muye exclaimed, looking at Lu Fa, whose face was only slightly red, and was very surprised. This crab was not an ordinary crab, but a kind of ten thousand year old soul beast living in the deep sea: the deep sea king crab.
It is not easy to capture this kind of soul beast. First, you have to fight it in the deep sea, and then capture it, which is not an easy task. Moreover, while fighting it, you have to guard against attacks from other sea soul beasts.
Even Muye spent a lot of effort to catch these two. He originally prepared these for himself and Zhenhua, but after seeing Lufa's blood and energy, he was really excited to see the prey, so he took them out.
And the blood clam is not an ordinary thing, it is a species that lives in the Blood Sea Trench. There is a strange magnetic field in the Blood Sea Trench, and any soul guide that enters that range will malfunction.
The Blood Sea Trench, which is thousands of meters deep, is home to countless sea beasts and is known as one of the deadliest places. Blood clams are a famous product of the area.
There was only one way to get it, diving deep into the water and fishing with bare hands. But even a four-character battle armor master couldn't guarantee that he would be able to get it there, so he was very skilled and brave enough to go there to catch blood clams.
After eating a whole king crab, Lufa's face only turned rosy. His digestive ability is really too strong.
After Lufa finished eating the crab, he stretched out his hand to break open the shell of the blood clam and ate it in one bite. Soon, he had eaten all three blood clams.
At this moment, Lufa's soul power surged. Originally, his soul power level was close to the bottleneck. Now, after taking these tonic things, his soul power was directly filled up, and he was about to break through to level 44.
Lufa quickly sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. A platinum-colored light rose from his body.
"He is about to make a breakthrough." Zhenhua and Muye are both powerful soul masters. They can naturally see Lu Fa's condition and know that he is about to make a breakthrough.
"It seems that the matter of this little guy will not be resolved in a short time." Zhenhua shifted his gaze from Lufa and looked at Smith.
"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask about Lufa. You are the person in charge of his daily life, so you should know a lot about him." Seeing Smith's nervous look, Zhenhua comforted him.
"Here it comes." Nan Fusheng thought to himself, then he would just make up stories next, bah, it was time to tell the truth, anyway, he handled Lu Fa's past perfectly.
Smith said hesitantly, "Actually, I don't know much about Lufa. I just took care of him a little when I was in Tianhai City."
"Oh! Tell me in detail." Zhenhua said with interest. To poach someone, of course you need to know more about the target before you can make a move. Makino on the side also listened carefully.
Smith recalled for a moment, and then said: "When I first met Lufa, he was only six years old. He seemed to be in urgent need of money because of his soul.
So he went to the Blacksmith Association to look for a job, but because he was too young, the association did not accept him. "
When hearing the opening words, Zhenhua couldn't help but frown.
"I saw that he had a determined look in his eyes, and I happened to be short of an apprentice, so I asked him to come and help me. Although Lufa was young, he was born with supernatural power, so he could quickly take charge.
I saw that he really needed money, so I started to give him some work. When he was eight years old, he saved up 30,000 federal coins, and then obtained a spirit ring and officially became a spirit master.
After that, he went to the Soul Master Academy and came to help me from time to time. When he was nine years old, I recommended him to President Kong Xuan after I saw that he surpassed me in terms of skills.
In the end, for unknown reasons, he was only accepted as an apprentice by President Kong Xuan, who allowed him to work there as a helper."
After hearing what Smith said, Makino also frowned and asked, "What about his family? They actually let a six-year-old kid do such hard labor."
Smith replied awkwardly: "Well, Lufa seems to have grown up in an orphanage. But I don't know the details."
Everything cannot be explained too clearly, not to mention that he is just a person who takes good care of Lu Fa, so let Zhenhua and the others find the details themselves. After all, people always believe more in the answers they find themselves.
"Yeah!" Zhenhua responded, but he didn't embarrass Smith anymore. After all, the other party was just a young soul master.
At this time, Lufa's aura was still rising. He was just a four-ringed Soul Master, while Zhenhua and Muye were genuine Titled Douluo.
But they could all feel the pressure coming from Lufa. That certainly couldn't be the pressure of soul power, but the pressure from the blood.
"This kid's blood aura is even stronger than yours! I'm not referring to the energy in the blood, but the original aura of the blood." Zhenhua's eyes lit up and he said to Muye beside him.
Muye's eyes lit up as well. "Indeed, this bloodline's aura is so strong that it is unheard of. Even your nephew (Tang Wulin) cannot compare to him. This kid deserves to join our sect."
An orphan, whose qi and blood power is so strong, and who has not joined any force, isn't this the successor given to him by God?
Lufa quickly completed the breakthrough, the aura in his body converged, and everything returned to normal. But the moment he opened his eyes, both Zhenhua and Muye felt a sensation as if their skin was being cut.
"It feels so sharp." Makino became more and more satisfied.
"Thank you for your help, senior." Lufa bowed respectfully to the chef.
Muye shook his head, and then said with a smile: "This is your chance. If you are willing to take me as your master, then I promise that you will always have delicious food in the future."
Lu Fa was stunned for a moment, and then said again: "I'm sorry, senior, I don't have any intention of joining any forces for the time being."
Seeing this, Makino wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhenhua, "Okay, you are already an old man, don't make things difficult for a child. He should really focus on his studies now."
“President Zhenhua, what about my forger’s badge?” Lufa asked hesitantly at this time.
"Haha, look at my old bones. I almost forgot about this matter." Zhenhua took out a badge with six stars on it from his arms and handed it to Lufa.
This is a badge forged by him personally, engraved with a special soul guide formation that has the effect of refreshing the mind.
“You cannot be called a holy craftsman right now, otherwise it would be too conspicuous. This badge was made by me personally.
The six purple stars above were refined by me using the soul forging method. You can often comprehend and feel the mystery of soul forging. It will help you understand the path of soul forging more quickly."
"Thank you, President." Lufa took the badge and thanked him.
"Then President, I will take my leave now."
"Well, let me take you there." Zhenhua did not try to keep Lufa. Anyway, he already knew which college Lufa was studying in and also got his contact number. Next, he just needed to slowly build a good relationship with him.
When poaching people, the most important thing is this long-term process.
Before leaving, Zhenhua handed Lufa a storage ring. "This is a small gift from me to you. Don't be quick to refuse. This is just a little help from me to the younger generation. The most important thing for a blacksmith is to be familiar with all kinds of metals. So accept it."
“Okay.” Zhenhua said it so forcefully, Lufa couldn’t refuse, so he took the storage ring.
Lufa sensed the space inside the ring and found that Zhenhua had placed a total of twenty-five rare metals in it.
He had forged all these metals before. After all, he had the support of the Spiritual Tower and the Blacksmiths Association of Tianhai City, so he would never be short of most of the rare metals.
