People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

After the power division, the five major families that once disliked each other changed their previous attitudes, turned hostility into friendship, and not only supported each other, but even intermarried for generations. Although one family had a lack of successors, the remaining families still did not kick it out of the circle.

After all... they don't want to set a bad example. The five major families have been intermarrying for generations, and the heads of each family are more or less related to each other. Family members know their own business. No matter how strong or weak they are, at least everyone is of one mind and belongs to the same interest group. You don't know what attitude the next family to take power will have. It's better to keep the meat rotten in the pot than to be eaten by the Sea God Pavilion, right?
Going back to reality.

Xu Fangling, the head of the White Tiger Family, was the first to speak, "The Vesbania ore, the sudden disappearance of the eight Shrek Academy members, and the scandal of the Yuanen Family... If nothing unexpected happens, they are all the work of the same force. Now... the Sea God Pavilion doesn't want Yuanen Yehui to die, so it staged such a clumsy drama with Yuanen Zhentian. Hmm... what attitude should we take towards this matter?"

"What kind of attitude can we have?" Bing Muxue said sarcastically, "We can't really dispatch troops to encircle and suppress the Yuanen family like a fool. There is no need to do such a thankless task. At most, we can respond to the voices of the grassroots and symbolically condemn the Yuanen family and the Sea God Pavilion on the moral level. Is Qiangu Dongfeng also taking the same attitude?"

As she spoke, Bing Muxue turned her gaze to Xu Huaiyun.

Xu Huaiyun shook his head and said solemnly, "Qian Gu Dong Feng is not someone who would just sit back and watch. He wants to... take this opportunity to make some big moves."

"Big move?"

Bing Muxue, Xu Fangling, Ying Hongchen, and Kong Yuxing subconsciously frowned, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. In the current situation...what big move can they make?

……

"Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred!"

"Brother Hao, you are amazing! In less than three days, you can independently perform 100-forging purification and touch the threshold of a first-level blacksmith. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, you are a scale-haired phoenix-horned existence!"

Tang Wulin excitedly gave Huo Yuhao a bear hug, his eyes full of little stars.

Huo Yuhao: "..."

The threshold to becoming a first-level blacksmith... is it difficult to reach?
To put it nicely, it is forging, and to put it bluntly, it is blacksmithing. To forge iron, you just pick up a forging hammer and hammer it on the metal "bang bang bang". There is no technical content at all. You can figure out the force-generating techniques on your own. Is such a thing that is not difficult at all worth bragging about?
Those who have read "Legend of the God of Destruction" know that it only took the Star Luo Empire's national defender Douluo Enci three years to upgrade the levels of forgers, mecha manufacturers, mecha designers, and mecha repairers to level eight, and created a set of top-level three-word battle armor for himself.

Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao hastily pushed open the door and quickly turned his gaze to the little princess Mu Xi of the East Sea City Blacksmith Association. He asked with a strange expression: "Miss Mu, I have a question. Why don't you focus on cultivation? When your soul power breaks through to Soul Saint or Soul Douluo, the strength of your arms will be equivalent to that of a seventh or eighth level blacksmith. Wouldn't it be more advantageous to learn blacksmithing at that time?"

Hearing this, Mu Xi tilted her head and said with a puzzled look, "Aren't all blacksmiths trained from childhood? Um... Huo Yuhao, you said that learning blacksmithing will be more advantageous in the future, so what about you? Why do you want to get in touch with blacksmithing now?"

“We are from humble backgrounds, and we need to rely on forging to earn money to supplement our family income, and make some friends to help us make battle armor in the future.” Huo Yuhao said solemnly: “Ms. Mu Xi, your father is the president of the East Sea City Forgers Association, a highly respected eighth-level Saint Craftsman. Your one-word, two-word, or even three-word battle armor… Senior Mu Chen may have prepared it for you. With your status, you have no shortage of friends around you. Why do you have to learn forging now?” “The prerequisite for becoming a Godly Craftsman is to have the cultivation of a Titled Douluo. In this case, the development of the soul master himself is the top priority. Even if there is no hope of breaking through to the Titled Douluo in the future, it is not too late to learn forging.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xi's face instantly turned ugly. Since the year she started school, her classmates, regardless of whether their families had backgrounds or not, would spend a lot of time and energy learning a second career.

Even her father, Mu Chen, only said that girls were weaker and advised her not to enter the blacksmith industry. Instead of... asking her to focus on training and learn blacksmithing later.

Did her father not love her, allowing her to waste her energy on blacksmithing, thus limiting her future achievements?
How is this possible? So many young masters and young ladies from large soul master families have devoted a lot of energy to their second careers, and she is not the only one who has had the same experience.

All of this... seemed to be set in stone. If Huo Yuhao hadn't exposed the problem, she would probably still be kept in the dark.

Just like that, Mu Xi walked out of the studio door in a daze.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin whispered, "Brother Hao, is it really not necessary for us to put too much energy into forging?"

Huo Yuhao said calmly: “Wulin, you have to remember that forging is just a tool we use to win people’s hearts. A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Any powerful ability must be protected by matching strength. Otherwise, someone will capture you and force you to mass-produce four-character battle armor for them.”

"How about this, from now on... we only forge for one or two hours a day to earn some extra money. When you break through to the next level, or when you unlock the seal of the Golden Dragon King and your power increases greatly, then you can try to improve your forger level."

"In this way, we can forge every day, ensuring that our forging skills are not rusty while also not slacking off in our practice. This is a relatively compromise solution."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao put away the forging hammer in his hand, grabbed Tang Wulin's wrist, and walked out of the studio with a gloomy face.

He suspected... that the entire Douluo plane had been cursed by some unknown existence, and all the soul masters had been reduced in intelligence!

It's not just this time and space, even the first life of the great God King Huo... there are huge problems.

Take Jing Hongchen for example. Why didn’t he focus on cultivation when he was young, but would rather take drugs and focus on learning soul guide technology?
Does the Hongchen family lack high-level soul mentors?

Why not improve your own cultivation first, and then learn soul guidance technology? (End of this chapter)
