Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 683 Divine Craftsman's Eternal Phoenix Feather
Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Wu Lin, now that you have mastered the Thousand Forging Technique, you no longer need to attend the school's courses on forging and second professions."

"Once the teacher I found for you arrives, just have him issue you a certificate."

Previously, in order to cultivate well-rounded talents and also to allow students to stay in the college for a few more years, thus improving the employment rate.

The Ancient Phoenix Feather Academy specifically stipulates that courses on second professions will be taught by the academy starting from the intermediate level.

Why did the entrance exams for prestigious academies like Shrek Academy require students to take a second job?

However, apart from a very few intermediate colleges, other intermediate colleges did not teach any knowledge related to a second career, and children and parents had to prepare everything themselves.

Therefore, Qian Gu Huang Yu waved his hand and ordered that in the first year of the three-year intermediate academy, teachers should introduce different second professions.

Starting from the second year, I chose a second profession to study, aiming to obtain the first-level badge for that profession upon graduation.

Therefore, secondary colleges and various second-career associations now cooperate to ensure that students receive a good education.

However, given Tang Wulin's level, attending the blacksmith courses at the intermediate academy would be a complete waste of time, which is why Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't allow Tang Wulin to attend the classes.

“Besides that, you don’t need to rush to the Blacksmith Association to accept tasks and take the rating test. Wait until that teacher has watched your forging and given you some advice before you go,” Qian Gu Huang Yu said.

Perhaps due to the world's corrective nature, Mu Chen, the junior apprentice of the master craftsman Zhen Hua, still serves as the president of the East Sea City Blacksmith Association.

Like the other timeline, Mu Chen is an eighth-level Saint Craftsman, only one level away from becoming a Divine Craftsman.

Therefore, Mu Chen must be able to see Tang Wulin's potential, and Qian Gu Huang Yu is worried that Mu Chen will beat him to it.

It's worth noting that in another timeline, the reason Mu Chen didn't immediately accept Tang Wulin as his disciple was because Tang Wulin's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass at that time.

It's a universally acknowledged useless martial soul, while Tang Wulin's martial soul is now the Blue Silver Emperor. Even if Mu Chen doesn't understand martial souls, he should still be able to tell the difference between Blue Silver Grass and Blue Silver Emperor.

Tang Wulin was naturally unaware of Qian Gu Huang Yu's considerations, but he instinctively felt that his master would never harm him, and he was not short of money like he was in the other timeline, so he naturally agreed.

You should know that the monthly Soul Master allowance that the Spirit Pagoda gives him is enough for him to draw two random Soul Spirits.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Wu Lin, just adapt to the new environment for now. After the promotion competition, I will arrange the next stage of your training according to your situation."

...

In the evening, after Jia Lin entered a meditative state to cultivate instead of sleep, Qian Gu Huang Yu made a soul-guided communication call.

"Xiaoyu, do you need me to take care of the child again?" Qian Gu Qingfeng's serious voice came through the soul communication device.

Qian Gu Huang Yu's lips twitched slightly, and the words she had prepared instantly stuck in her throat. After a while, Qian Gu Huang Yu finally spoke:
"Is this all the reason you contact me?"

The ancient breeze did not answer, and silence often signifies tacit agreement.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Qian Gu Huang Yu helplessly changed the subject and said, "Big brother, I found a very talented seedling. He is only nine years old and he can already complete the Thousand Refinements."

"Would you be interested in teaching him forging?"

"Xiaoyu, can't you teach her yourself?" Qian Gu Qingfeng said.

In reality, the two great master craftsmen do not coexist in the Douluo Continent as others believe.

There are currently three Divine Craftsmen in the Douluo Continent.

After ascending the throne, apart from being quite busy at the beginning, once the empire stabilized, Qian Gu Huang Yu became a hands-off manager and continued to research how to make progress.

The first thing she did was study battle armor.

To be honest, as the number one person in the world, Qian Gu Huang Yu's level 2 professions are, if not outstanding, utterly terrible.

Therefore, Qian Gu Huang Yu, after much painful reflection, decided to start from scratch and rebuild his four major professions, and then tailor a set of four-word battle armor for himself.

The person who understands a Soul Master best is, of course, the Soul Master himself. This is why Grace's three-word battle armor, after being nurtured, can possess power comparable to a four-word battle armor.

His three-word battle armor, from design to forging with rare metals, was entirely made by himself, which is inseparable from his work.

Therefore, Qian Gu Huang Yu decided to learn from his predecessors and create a set of battle armor that best suited him.

Because Qian Gu Huang Yu's spiritual power had reached the Divine Origin Realm early on, with the cultivation of the Divine Origin Realm as a foundation, she learned both mecha design and mecha manufacturing very easily.

He didn't even need a teacher to instruct him; he just found a few books and taught himself, easily reaching level nine.

But a problem arose only during the forging process.

There's a reason why forging is considered the most difficult profession; even a god-level expert like Qian Gu Huang Yu found it somewhat challenging.

Of course, the problems encountered by Qian Gu Huang Yu are the same as those encountered by other blacksmiths who are graduates, such as not having enough strength or physical fitness.

Rather, it is perception, or in the blacksmith's professional terminology: listening to the voice of metal.

Ultimately, following the principle of "why not take the shortcut if there is one," Qian Gu Huang Yu went directly to find the only master craftsman in the world, Qian Gu Qing Feng, to teach her.

Although Qian Gu Qingfeng didn't understand why his younger sister suddenly wanted to learn forging, he still agreed to help.

As it turns out, once the theoretical knowledge was understood, forging the Ancient Phoenix Feather was a piece of cake, given the basic conditions.

He became a master craftsman in just two years.

Although she may not be the youngest divine craftsman in all dimensions, she is definitely the fastest person in history to become a god.

This is also the first time that the ironclad rule that only one Divine Craftsman can exist in the Douluo Continent has been broken.

Initially, Qian Gu Huang Yu thought it was because she was the chosen one of destiny by the old plane's lord, and since she was already a god, she was naturally unaffected by Tang Hao.

Perhaps for this reason, Tang Hao simply made Zhen Hua a divine craftsman as well, hoping to break the Spirit Pagoda's monopoly on four-word battle armor.

After becoming a master craftsman, Qian Gu Huang Yu did not immediately begin to forge a set of four-word battle armor for herself.

Instead, he began to consolidate his strength, and only after he felt that he had enough power did he begin to tailor a set of four-word battle armor for himself.

This four-word battle armor is the culmination of Qian Gu Huang Yu's efforts. Not only did he use various rare metals as if they were free, but he also utilized valuable resources from the Gate of Babylon.

After being nurtured by the ancient phoenix feathers, this four-character battle armor is now no different from a divine artifact.

Although she redesigned a four-character battle armor for herself, Qian Gu Huang Yu did not rename it.

The new four-character battle armor is still called Soul Flash Moon Chant, which can be regarded as a commemoration of the past.

However, the fact that Qian Gu Huang Yu became a divine craftsman was not made public; only Gu Yue Na and a few others knew about it.

Therefore, the current situation is actually one where the three great craftsmen coexist.

However, to Qian Gu Qingfeng's surprise, Qian Gu Huang Yu's forging skills surpassed his own, a veteran master craftsman, not long after he became a master craftsman.

This surprised Qian Gu Qingfeng, but also made him feel gratified. Despite his surprise, Qian Gu Qingfeng accepted it quickly, considering Qian Gu Huang Yu's miraculous cultivation level.

After all, in a world where Soul Masters reign supreme, powerful Soul Masters are the ultimate answer in this plane.

"So, Xiaoyu, why don't you teach him yourself? In terms of forging ability alone, I'm actually not as good as you," Qian Gu Qingfeng said truthfully.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Brother, I started learning forging halfway through my career. I only began learning it after my cultivation reached the level of a quasi-god."

“My model is basically not replicable; in fact, you could say that no one but me can use it.”

In fact, what Qian Gu Qingfeng didn't know was that Qian Gu Huang Yu had even used the Omniscient and Omnipotent Star in order to 'listen to the sound of metal'.

Tang Wulin, however, did not have this buff at all.

However, Qian Gu Qingfeng started learning forging from a young age. His path is the normal way for Soul Masters to learn, and it is more suitable for Tang Wulin now.

Qian Gu Huang Yu continued, "Besides, I'm already his teacher in terms of Soul Mastery, so you should handle the forging."

"Xiaoyu, you've taken on a disciple?" Qian Gu Qingfeng's voice suddenly rose, filled with surprise.

Although Qian Gu Huang Yu had previously taken Jia Lin as his disciple, they actually knew Jia Lin's true situation, and the master-disciple relationship was basically just a facade.

Qian Gu Huang Yu truly raised Jia Lin as a daughter, and they wouldn't be surprised if Jia Lin inherited the throne later.

In other words, this newly accepted disciple is, in a sense, the eldest disciple of Qian Gu Huang Yu.

In fact, Qian Gu Huang Yu had never had any disciples before, because as the emperor of the Douluo Empire, she herself had no children. If she were to rashly accept disciples, it would easily lead to speculation among others.

"I'd really like to see who it is that makes you want to take them on as disciples," said Qian Gu Qingfeng.

"Big brother, does this mean you agree?" Qian Gu Huang Yu asked.

"I just plan to meet him first. Whether or not I should teach him is something we'll discuss later," said Qian Gu Qingfeng.

After arranging a time with Qian Gu Qing Feng, Qian Gu Huang Yu hung up the soul guide communication.

"Huang'er, you really care about this Tang Wulin!" A rather jealous voice rang out from behind Qian Gu Huang Yu.

Without even guessing, Qian Gu Huang Yu already knew who it was just from the voice.

Gu Yuena hugged Qian Gu Huang Yu's slender waist from behind and then pinched it hard.

"Mmm..." Qian Gu Huang Yu let out a soft moan and fell into Gu Yue Na's arms.

"Honestly, you don't even have time to spend with me anymore." Gu Yuena couldn't help but murmur, her amethyst-like eyes filled with a sense of remoteness.

Qian Gu Huang Yu lay in Gu Yue Na's arms, his wine-red pupils staring straight at Gu Yue Na, and laughed, "Gu Yue, who told you not to come with me?"

Gu Yuena pursed her lips and turned her gaze to the window.

Out of respect for the Navy Marshal's secret lover, Donghai Academy arranged a separate room for Su Youli and Jialin so that they could stay together.

Moreover, the location was excellent; looking down from the window, you can overlook almost the entire Donghai College.

Furthermore, considering Jialin's need to make friends with other students, her student dormitory was also preserved.

Jialin herself can decide whether to follow Qian Gu Huang Yu or go back to the dormitory to be with her classmates.

Gu Yuena took in the entire East Sea Academy and said, "It's only because you like playing these games that I have no interest in playing house with these kids."

In fact, Gu Yuena couldn't understand why Qian Gu Huang Yu insisted on using a fake identity to communicate with Yu Zheng and the others.

If they came with their real identities, let alone communicating, even kneeling too slowly could be considered a serious offense of disrespect.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Jialin is too young. She should be looking for friends. If I personally intervene, she won't be able to find any friends."

"They're probably all just opportunists trying to climb the social ladder."

"Never mind, as long as you're happy," Gu Yuena said indulgently.

Qian Gu Huang Yu said, "Besides, if you want Tang Wulin to stand on our side in the future and launch a magnificent rebellion against Tang San, then..."

“Naturally, we need to build more bonds with him. I will teach him about Soul Masters, and my older brother will teach him forging. Isn’t that a good idea?”

"Gu Yue, why don't you teach him too?"

"No," Gu Yuena refused without even thinking.

Qian Gu Huang Yu only recently discovered that Gu Yue Na is actually a very lazy dragon, otherwise she wouldn't have slept for tens of thousands of years since arriving in the Douluo Continent.

Gu Yuena's lips curled slightly as she said, "Huang'er, as compensation for your neglect of me these past few days, tonight..."

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

...

The next day.

After a chance encounter with his teacher and senior at Donghai Academy, Tang Wulin felt full of energy and confidence for the future.

He did not thank Qian Gu Huang Yu; instead, he planned to prove his determination with his actions and show Qian Gu Huang Yu that she had not misjudged him.

Today is the first day of the new semester, and also the opening ceremony.

The ceremony was held in the huge square of Donghai Academy, where the senior and intermediate academies only gather together once a year at this time.

As the best academy in Donghai City, Donghai Academy can provide education for both intermediate and advanced age groups.

Similar to the high school and junior high school sections of the previous life of the Phoenix Feather.

Tang Wulin was in the freshman formation. He was quite tall for a freshman and was positioned towards the back, giving him a good view of all the students in the academy.

"Hello everyone, today is the annual opening ceremony. Now, please welcome Dean Yu to give a speech."

Yu Zheng, the dean of Donghai Academy, is an elderly man who looks to be in his sixties. He is of medium build, unremarkable, with gray hair, glasses, and a scholarly appearance.

"Hello, students. Every year at this time, I feel a mix of emotions. A group of students from the intermediate and advanced levels graduate and leave the college. At the same time, some students move up from the intermediate level to the advanced level, and new students join us."

"In my view, the academy is like the Federation's lifeblood, constantly supplying it with qualified talent. In the future, I hope you will also be able to..."

The dean was very eloquent and spoke without a script, delivering his speech with great emotion and enthusiasm for a full fifteen minutes before gradually coming to an end.
