Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 424: The Divine Test from the God of Forging

Chen Ming always felt that this name sounded like someone would die from a soul guide cannon, but considering various reasons, Chen Ming decided not to complain about it for now and to deal with more important things first.

"Senior Aotian, you just said that the God of Forging agreed to give us a divine test?"

"That's right. The Lord God asked for you. The God of Forging agreed to conduct a divine test, but it is limited to a divine test. Whether the person being tested can be recognized by the God of Forging and how far he can go depends on his talent and the God of Forging's recognition."

"If you really don't meet the selection criteria of the God of Forge, then the God of Forge will at most give you three tests as a token of his respect. Don't think too much about anything else. However, if you can really impress the God of Forge, even if your talent in cultivation is slightly inferior, it is still possible for you to become a god."

"In terms of wealth, the only ones who are richer than the God of Forge in the God Realm are probably the five great God Kings. All the gods in the God Realm, including our Seven Deadly Sins, are not as wealthy as the God of Forge. The God of Forge has many ways to improve talents."

“Boy, you have to think carefully about who you want to give this divine test to. Although the God of Forging is only a second-level god, his status in the God Realm is no less than any first-level god, and even slightly higher.”

The God of Pride reminded Chen Ming seriously, but Chen Ming's expression remained unchanged.

"Thank you, senior. Please follow me. The subordinate with forging talent that I found earlier is on this continent."

Chen Ming bowed to the God of Pride, then spread his wings and flew away.

The God of Pride ate up the fruit in his hand in two or three bites. He originally wanted to throw the core on the ground casually, but considering that the Douluo World was the lower realm after all, the God of Pride put the core in his own space after a pause. Then, without circulating his energy in any way, he stepped into the air and flew quickly to Chen Ming's side.

It didn't take long for the God of Pride to arrive at Gengxin City under Chen Ming's guidance. Chen Ming called Lou Gao out alone through the old code, and then asked Lou Gao to take the two of them to a secret room underground.

Along the way, the God of Pride looked Lou Gao up and down. Although his divine power was sealed, his strong mental power still allowed him to easily see through Lou Gao's details. However, the sharp eyes that made Lou Gao feel that even his underwear was seen through made him feel numb all the way. He didn't feel relieved until he entered the secret room underground.

Inside the secret room, the God of Pride nodded to Chen Ming, and then the power in his body surged, and one arm reached into the void. Under the nervous and expectant eyes of Chen Ming and Lou Gao, he took out a small hammer that looked extremely delicate from the unknown plane.

The mental power of the God of Pride was slightly stimulated, and the divine consciousness of the God of Forging immersed in the forging hammer was aroused. The extremely delicate little hammer slipped out of the hand of the God of Pride, floating in the air, emitting golden light.

Looking at the small hammer floating in the air, Lou Gao inexplicably felt as if his inspiration was bursting out continuously. Many things that he did not understand or overlooked when forging metal and making soul guides quickly surged into his mind, and were then disassembled one by one, forming many technologies and solutions in his mind.

The forging technology that he thought had reached a bottleneck seemed to have gained some inspiration under the stimulation of this light, so much so that Lou Gao's hands subconsciously began to itch.

Chen Ming, who was standing by, looked at the golden light and felt that his spirit was slightly lifted and his mind seemed to be clearer. Apart from that, there were no other changes. The golden light surged out and turned into an illusory human figure. However, unlike the arrogant God who looked like a handsome blond young man, the image of the God of Forging was more rugged.

Compared to normal people, his stature is shorter, only about 1.4 meters tall, but his overall skeleton is extremely strong, with rock-like muscles all over his body. His palms are extremely large and his skin is bronze.

The most noteworthy thing is that the God of Forging has a huge bald head, a thick brown beard on his chin that looks like it has been carefully groomed, a pair of eyes as big as copper bells, and a wine-red nose.

His upper body was naked, with a lot of scars on his muscular body. His lower body was wearing a set of brown shorts that seemed to be made of some kind of plant fiber, his rock-like calves were exposed, and he wore a metal shoe on his foot.

The man had an illusory wine jug slung around his waist and a delicate hammer in his hand.

At first glance, the God of Forging is the most classic dwarf image in Western fantasy novels. Even if he just stands there and says nothing or does nothing, at first glance, he gives people the stereotype that he is quite good at forging.

"Arrogant, have you found an heir chosen for me?"

The God of Forging glanced at the God of Pride and asked casually. Without waiting for the God of Pride to reply, he quickly came to Lou Gao. Looking at the tall Lou Gao, a hint of excitement appeared in the eyes of the God of Forging.

The illusory figure circled around Lou Gao carefully, observing his every condition, and even raised his hand to touch his calloused palm, trying to test the development of his arms and legs bit by bit.

"Not bad, the basic qualities are good. This level of development shows that he has been learning forging since he was young and has been working on iron for decades. Judging from the development trend of muscles and the way they form blocks, his forging skills should be quite good."

After touching it for a long time, the God of Forging nodded with satisfaction. Then his expression suddenly changed and his voice became unpleasant.

"But, if you want to pass the test of the God of Forging, you must at least take it in the forging room, right? You have to let me see what level of forging skills you have!"

"Don't underestimate your talent and be qualified to inherit the Divine Test. But what I, the God of Forging, value most is the art of forging, and cultivation is even secondary. If your talent in forging is not to my liking, then I will definitely not choose an outsider to tarnish my throne."

"Compared to my cultivation, the art of forging is what I am most proud of in my life. In Douluo Continent, I, Lou Gao, am confident that I am the best in the world and the creator of forging technology in the future. Senior, please feel free to test me on anything you want to test me on. If my ability is not up to your standards, I will kill myself!"

Lou Gao patted his chest and answered angrily. Seeing Lou Gao's confident look, the dwarf god of forging became happy instead.
