Douluo: Reincarnation of Leosli, punishing the evildoers

Leosley's boxing gloves have been in use for quite some time now.

Back in Fontainebleau, there were places where you could upgrade your gauntlets, but in Douluo Continent, well...

The blacksmith's skill level was too poor to forge the weapon of the required grade.

Gengxin City, the metal capital, is the largest metal city in the Douluo Continent and the core of the metal manufacturing industry.

The Geng Essence he obtained from the Heavenly Dou Auction House in Chapter 48 still lacks suitable tools for shaping.

It can only be said that the forging industry in Douluo Continent, not only in terms of blacksmiths, but also in terms of forging techniques, cannot keep up with Leosley's requirements.

Therefore, he decided to go to the metal capital to check out the situation.

I also told Ning Fengzhi that Xigewen had some materials she needed, and asked him to go to the auction house.

"Gengxin City."

"Yes."

Ning Fengzhi smiled upon hearing this.

Isn't this perfect?

They were heading to Gengxin City.

Besides buying metal, we also need to visit that master craftsman.

"Oh? Sect Leader Ning, you're planning to go to Gengxin City?"

Leiosley was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

He didn't specify when he was going to Gengxin City.
“That’s right, I was just planning to visit that master craftsman, and if possible, I’d like to travel with the Duke.”

A smile appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.

"Wouldn't that be a little inconvenient?" Leosley asked, somewhat surprised, but then smiled as if he had thought of something.

Good heavens, Ning Fengzhi, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are you planning to torture Tang San to death?

The blacksmiths' status was the same as that of ordinary people. The Blacksmiths' Guild's influence was limited to Gengxin City, and rare metals could only be used to their fullest potential in Gengxin City.

It's true that they look down on blacksmiths, but it's also true that they need blacksmiths.

In the original text, Tang San deliberately showed Lou Gao the blueprints for three hidden weapons—Buddha's Wrath Lotus, Peacock Feather, and Rain of Pear Blossom Needles—in order to impress Lou Gao and thus gain his respect, which led him to join the Tang Clan.

Although it's unclear why Lou Gao, who could create the Eight Treasures Ruyi Armor, would be interested in hidden weapons, that's the reality.

Ning Fengzhi clearly intends to learn from Tang San's approach.

So, I wonder how Ning Fengzhi plans to lure Lou Gao this time?
"No, I was just planning to buy some metal myself. If it's convenient for you, Duke, we can go together."

Ning Fengzhi smiled upon hearing this.

If he could travel with Leosley, he wouldn't have to take such a roundabout route when visiting the master craftsman. After all, given the master craftsman's arrogant and slow-paced nature, he probably wouldn't easily agree to his opinion, but if Leosley spoke up, it would be a different story.

"That's fine."

Leiosley nodded slightly upon hearing this.

That saved me some travel expenses.

Ning Fengzhi naturally had his own thoughts as well.

I heard that the person in charge of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City is quite a character.
Moreover, according to his understanding, Leosley's stance should be one of lawful justice. Since he knows the stance, Ning Fengzhi can "prescribe the right medicine for the illness".

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi also wanted to take advantage of Leosley's influence to give the Spirit Hall a hard time.

Even if Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong find out he did it afterward, it was Leiosli who carried out the deed!

Ning Fengzhi knew Qian Daoliu's personality somewhat. Although he knew it was him who did it, he didn't take action, did he? So he wouldn't do anything to him.

Moreover, now that he has taken the top position among the three upper sects, the Spirit Hall will not do anything to him out of consideration for his reputation. Instead, they will praise him for doing a good job and eliminating a cancer for the Spirit Hall.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi won't suffer any losses in this matter.

As for Bibi Dong, Ning Fengzhi knew her even better. Although she was ruthless, she also valued the big picture and wouldn't hold a grudge against him over such a small matter.

As for why Leosley agreed so readily, Ning Fengzhi was well aware that with Leosley's abilities, he naturally understood his thoughts.

But it doesn't matter, he has his purpose, and Leosley has his own ideas.

Although both sides have their own ulterior motives, it does not affect their relationship.

As for Chen Xin's matter, it has been resolved, and now it's time to go to Gengxin City.

······
Although Gengxin City is a main city in the Star Luo Empire, to be honest, it is not famous at all. In fact, it can only be considered a minor player in the middle and lower ranks among the main cities.

This is closely related to the low social status of blacksmiths.

After all, in this world of Soul Masters, other professions are largely neglected, and blacksmiths have an even harder time.

As you approach Gengxin City, the first thing that catches your eye is the entire stretch of iron-gray city wall, which looks as if it were made of metal, hard and cold.

Before even stepping into the city, one could already feel a strong metallic aura emanating from it.

"It does feel somewhat similar to Mero Petersburg."

Hitchwen wagged her tail, looked at the city wall in front of her, and sighed.

Indeed, if you don't look at the sky, Gengxin City does resemble the style of Mero Petersburg.

The city of Fontainebleau, built on water, is powered by machinery and water. Although it also relies on metal, it is fundamentally different from other cities.

On the contrary, the heat and water vapor generated by these forging processes are somewhat similar to those of the underwater Petersburg.

If you add a gear-driven pipe, it would truly be an underground assembly line.

"It's been quite a hardship for the Duke."

Looking at Leosley, who was stretching his muscles, Ning Fengzhi said with a hint of apology.

Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's carriage is very comfortable, after a month, one gets a little tired of it.

"It's nothing, it's just..."

Leiosley was also moved upon hearing this.

"Old Master Chenxin, is your left hand alright?"

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback upon hearing this: "Huh? What's wrong?"

"It's okay."

"Duke?"

Hearing this, Xigewen was also a little confused. Why did she suddenly ask about Chenxin again?

"It's nothing, I was just a little worried because I felt that Elder Chenxin's hands were moving too frequently. It's good that he's alright now."

Higewen was also slightly taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, she didn't say anything and just nodded gently.

She knew Leosley must have his own plans, and since nothing serious had happened, there was no need to rush; she could just wait.

In the world of Douluo Continent, where strength reigns supreme, Gengxin City is like a forgotten little star, attracting little attention. As a city of metal, it has very few powerful individuals, so it's perfectly normal that it hasn't garnered enough attention.

After all, in this day and age, blacksmiths have a status similar to that of ordinary people, and sometimes even worse!
It wasn't until the third era of the Warring States period that blacksmithing became a respected profession, but now blacksmiths are in a rather tragic situation, their status is precarious!
However, fortunately, the existence of the Blacksmiths' Guild allowed Gengxin City to maintain a certain standing in this land. After all, within the city, only the blacksmiths would proudly call it the "Metal Capital." (End of Chapter)
