Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 329 Xiong Jun: If I had this to help me, wouldn't I be able to challenge Di Tian again?

Time flies, and March has passed quickly.

Xu Tianxi and Kong Deming, who had spent three months in the Hall of Offerings, emerged from seclusion together to organize the opening ceremony of the Heavenly Court, the organization of soul spirits.

Xu Tianxi immediately summoned Gu Zhaoqiu and Xiong Jun to inquire about the research progress of a certain unofficial researcher from the Heavenly Court who was on vacation at home.

"My lord, how is the research on artificial souls progressing? Have there been any breakthroughs? So many of us are relying on your wisdom."

Xu Tianxi was good at recognizing and assigning tasks to people. Knowing that his time was limited, he entrusted Gu Yuena with some of the progress of Electrolux early on, giving Gu Yuena a great sense of being respected.

"Almost there, almost there. I've already completed the research on the ten-year soul spirit and am currently working on the soul spirit technology for the hundred-year soul spirit. The current problem lies in the energy source..."

"I'm telling you guys, you all need to work harder and stop being lazy, you know?"

In the Starry Sky Forest, on the other end of the ultra-long-distance communication, Gu Yuena's bright purple eyes shone with a sharp light, her eyes curved upwards into crescent moons, and the corners of her lips curved into an extremely beautiful arc.

She, the Silver Dragon Queen, possesses astonishing wisdom!

Even the little mountain dragon king has to obediently act as her subordinate in front of her.

"Alright, alright. My necromancer teacher is currently researching how to turn the divine consciousness of that god-king into an energy source. If you have time, come and take a look."

Xu Tianxi pictured a giant silver dragon looking smug, and chuckled to himself as he encouraged the tool dragon to keep up the good work and maintain that momentum.

Don't you want to do something to demonstrate your majesty as the leader of the dragon clan? The opportunity and the stage are right here; it all depends on your abilities.

In the original story, you pioneered the research and development of a ten-thousand-year-old black soul spirit. This time, let's see how far your abilities can go. It would be even better if you could research a one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul spirit.

Human researchers don't understand soul beasts as well as the Lord of Soul Beasts. Let the soul beasts become soul spirits, and let the soul masters become the recipients of soul spirits. It's the best of both worlds.

"Furthermore, my lord, your ability to control elements and alter the composition of gold is very beneficial for creating new types of metals."

I've recently come up with an idea: to forge armor from top-grade metals that perfectly suits the humanoid form of our soul beast race, significantly enhancing our strength. I'll need your help with that too…”

"Oh, it's not that complicated. We'll send you a batch of rare metals regularly. You just need to help change the form of those metals and send them back to us. The rest is up to me and my sister. We'll send the results to you, our lord, first..."

Xu Tianxi took the opportunity to bring up more ideas, telling Gu Yuena, who was soaking in the hot spring at home, that even if she was enjoying the hot spring at home, she still had to do her work.

Thinking you can stay home and avoid work, thus limiting your opportunities to showcase your talents... that's absolutely impossible.

With my Heavenly Lord leading the charge, everyone in the organization must work hard and strive for success!

"I know, I know. I'll take care of that little thing for you in my spare time. By the way, you don't mind if I use elemental lightning tribulation to refine it, do you?"

Gu Yuena emerged barefoot from the Lake of Life with a languid air, her silver hair, soaked in water, cascading down her back. As she twirled the strands of hair, colorful lightning flashed, a manifestation of her control over the laws of thunder.

Xu Tianxi seemed to hear the thunderous roar from thousands of miles away. His gaze sharpened, and he replied:
"My lord's cultivation is extraordinary. Apart from my sister, there are probably not many blacksmiths here who can handle the lightning refining of metal. Please, my lord, pause and wait for the humans who are lagging behind you."

"Then work hard and don't fall behind." Gu Yuena spoke in the tone of a strict teacher, as if she were instructing her wayward student. She must have been overjoyed.

Xu Tianxi wasn't going to spoil the fun. He continued to coax the smug Silver Dragon King until he was laughing and joking, and then disconnected the communication to immerse himself in his most fervent research on soul spirits.

After hanging up the call, Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief, but his face showed signs of fatigue. It was really exhausting to deal with a silver dragon that had been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

But for the sake of building a career, all of this is worthwhile.

Beside her, Gu Zhaoqiu took out a piece of hundred-refined metal and said with a smile, "This is my latest achievement, hundred-refined magic silver. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique you gave me is not bad. It is indeed suitable for forging."

"As long as it suits you, blacksmithing is one of the Haotian Sect's signature skills."

Xu Tianxi casually took the Hundred Refined Demon Silver, sensed it for a moment, and nodded slightly.

Soul tools made from this metal will greatly enhance the elemental power of the soul tool, and can be made into soldiers comparable to level six soul tools using level five soul tool technology.

Of course, the production difficulty will also increase, but it is far less than directly making a level 6 soul tool, which has huge positive significance in terms of materials, time, and technology.

Xiong Jun crossed his arms and said loudly, "Boy, do you really think these clanging metal things of yours are useful? I think you're just trying to fool our auspicious beast."

Xu Tianxi glanced at the large bear and calmly replied, "If Senior Bear has any doubts, you can personally sense it. I believe that the metal processed by Senior Bear will definitely carry Senior Bear's astonishing domineering aura and be extraordinary." Bear crossed his arms and snorted, unconcerned.

Xu Tianxi knew that the prerequisite for gaining the bear's approval was to show him the facts, so he didn't press the matter further and asked Gu Zhaoqiu seriously, "Sister, do you still have this kind of hundred-refined metal? I want to make a set of soul-guided armor."

"Yes, yes, we have them all here. Look, this is mithril, this is cloud-patterned silver, this is crimson dragon gold... these are all metals I've refined over this period of time."

Gu Zhaoqiu magically produced a pile of metal, which filled nearly ten cubic meters.

Xu Tianxi knew without a doubt that Gu Zhaoqiu had worked very hard during this period, no wonder Xiong Jun had some objections.

"Then I'll make one for you first, sister. How's your figure? What style of armor do you like?"

Xu Tianxi took out his soul-guided tool table, picked up his notebook, and was about to start drawing.

Gu Zhaoqiu's eyes darted around, and he blurted out, "Why don't you just scan it with your spiritual power?"

Xu Tianxi looked up in surprise and said, "It's not difficult to scan you with mental power, but wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

“We’re all family, why be so reserved? Hurry up.” Gu Zhaoqiu nudged Xu Tianxi’s long arm.

"Row."

Xu Tianxi didn't waste any time. He used his mental energy to scan the scene, and a three-dimensional image of Gu Zhaoqiu instantly formed in his mind. He then made up his mind.

The design drawings were bold and vigorous, and Gu Zhaoqiu quickly selected a set of armor in the style of a dragon head, thus completing the design.

Once the design was finalized, Xu Tianxi quickly began work, using the Mountain Dragon Claw to carve pieces of metal into the shape of armor and engrave the Soul Guiding Core Formation on them.

Kong Deming watched with great anticipation as Xu Tianxi incorporated the concept of humanoid soul tools into his melee soul tool armor.

During the three months of instruction, Kong Deming had already imparted all of the Sun Moon Empire's recent soul guidance concepts to Xu Tianxi. Xu Tianxi often applied what he learned to other situations. He was most interested in two types of soul guidance devices, one of which was this humanoid soul guidance device.

Another type is the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell. Xu Tianxi has already personally produced several level-eight fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shells under Kong Deming's guidance. It's just unknown which unlucky souls will be fortunate enough to experience its power in the future.

Half a day later, a set of level eight melee soul-guided armor appeared before the three of them. The gold body was engraved with blood-red patterns, and it reflected a piercing cold light under the sunlight. It seemed to have a spirit and exuded a majestic aura, like a sleeping dragon.

Gu Zhaoqiu tried on the garment and circulated his soul power. Dense soul light mixed with powerful blood and qi surged out along the soul guide patterns, as if amplified time and time again. The soul power fluctuations exceeded those of some eight-ring Soul Douluos.

"Why don't you give it a try, Mr. Xiong?" Xu Tianxi suggested with a smile.

"Let's give it a try. I want to see what use this thing of yours is." Xiong Jun patted his belly, jumped in front of the auspicious beast, crossed his arms, and chuckled.
"Come on, Xiao Qiu'er, your Uncle Xiong is tough as nails, hit me hard!"

"Great! Drink!"

Gu Zhaoqiu unleashed a powerful punch, the Golden Dragon Fist striking like a real dragon charging straight at Xiong Jun's chest.

Xiong Jun's fur scattered, neutralizing the force of the punch, as if nothing had happened.

However, the leisurely expression on his face disappeared, his wide mouth opened slightly, and he looked somewhat dazed.

He could imagine how big the gap was, from the seventh ring road to the eighth ring road; it was a qualitative leap.

If a suit of armor could be made for him, wouldn't he be able to challenge Di Tian again?

"How are you feeling, Mr. Xiong?" Xu Tianxi asked with a smile.

"It's alright, I don't feel anything." Xiong Jun waved his hand, then put on a stern face and said seriously:
"I think there are still many areas where your technique needs improvement. Tell me quickly, I want to try your forging process with Xiao Qiu'er."

Xu Tianxi looked slightly surprised, then smiled and agreed.

"I've already taught my sister the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, so Xiong Jun can just learn it directly. It won't take much trouble..."

A big bear forging iron; the scene is rather beautiful.
