Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 243 The Tower is High Entry into the Spirit Hall, the Propaganda Hall
After dismissing his newly recruited students, Lou Gao hurriedly went to his armor.

He saw that his armor, which could defend against a Soul King's full-force attack, now had a round hole in it, and the surrounding armor plates were scattered. Although he was not damaged, it no longer mattered.

The armor already had a hole punched through it, its power was self-evident.

"This, this simple switch has such terrifying power! This armor can even withstand a Soul King's full-force attack!!"

Lou Gao stroked the bullet holes in the armor, his eyes filled with shock, disbelief, and even more so, excitement.

"Your Highness, what about the other one?"

Gu Han waved his hand and laughed, "The other one is a cannon, which is much more powerful than a gun. This is not a place for experiments."

"Oh, right, Your Highness, there's no time to lose. Let's go outside the city and find a secluded spot to test the power of that cannon!"

After witnessing the power of the gun, Lou Gao became even more eager to see the power of the cannon.

I can't wait to witness it.

"Alright, Senior Lou Gao, come with me. I happen to know a place."

In previous years, Gu Han traveled across the continent with Bibi Dong, visiting almost every mountain and river, and had a deep understanding of the terrain of the Douluo Continent.

In addition, a few days ago, Gu Han had nothing to do, so he went for a stroll outside the city and happened to find a secluded and deserted open space, which was only twenty miles away from Gengxin City.

This place is a gravelly area, and further ahead is a small hill, which is an extension of the Forging Mountain Range.

Gu Han set up the cannon, while Lou Gao watched intently from the side.

Gu Han loaded the shell, ignited it, and they combined.

Due to technological limitations, they can only make cannons with fuses like this for now. Gu Han has ideas for future upgrades, but he doesn't have the time. He'll just need to get the basic blueprint out first, and then let Lou Gao do the research.

"Boom!!!"

The cannon fired with earth-shattering force, and the shell exploded about 300 meters away, kicking up countless clouds of dust and sending debris flying.

"Wow, what immense power!"

Lou Gao stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the distant explosion. The power of that explosion was enough to seriously injure even a Soul Emperor.

Lou Gao looked at the dark, gaping cannon with curiosity in his eyes, and while stroking it, he exclaimed, "What a treasure!"

“Senior Lou Gao, the materials for these things are not rare, and they can be mass-produced.”

Gu Han's gaze was fixed on Lou Gao, who was looking around at the cannon. He said slowly, "Senior Lou Gao, do you think these two items can elevate the blacksmith's status?"

"If this can really be mass-produced, then of course it is possible."

Lou Gao also became serious at this moment. If such power could be mass-produced, even ordinary people could play the role of a Soul Master.

As a result, the forging industry will also benefit.

However, forging something so intricate requires a great deal of skill from the blacksmith.

"In that case, Senior Lou Gao should fulfill his promise."

"This"

Lou Gao showed a hint of hesitation.

Gu Han narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous smile playing on his lips: "What, Senior Lou Gao, do you still have some concerns?"

"Ugh."

Lou Gao sighed and said, "Of course not. Although I am the president of the Blacksmith Association, the Blacksmith Association does not belong to me alone. If we join the Spirit Hall, I can only guarantee that people from my faction can go there, but I cannot control others."

Upon hearing this, Gu Han's expression softened, and he smiled, "Senior Lou Gao, having people from your lineage is enough."

"By the way, how many people can you bring?" Lou Gao thought for a moment and held up two fingers: "About two thousand people."

"That's enough. There's plenty of time to develop."

Gu Han nodded. Two thousand blacksmiths, and from the Blacksmiths' Association at that, their forging skills must be quite strong. It's even possible that there are many forging masters among them.

This is sufficient for the initial forging team; we can gradually select more people later.

"Senior Lou Gao, approximately when will you be able to travel to the Spirit Hall?"

With so many people going, it naturally takes time, and quite a lot of time at that, including all sorts of trivial matters.

Lou Gao thought for a moment and said, "Six months. If Your Highness gives me six months, I can bring people to Wuhun City. But before that, Your Highness must find us a place to stay."

"Senior Lou Gao, please rest assured about this matter. I have already found a place for you to stay in Wuhun City and transformed it into a forging hall."

Gu Han had made a promise with Lou Gao back then, and had already begun preparations after returning to Wuhun City.

Using his authority as a Holy Son, he prepared a hall for the other party. It was a side hall in the Spirit Hall complex. Although the location was a bit remote, it was naturally concealed for military purposes.

He had an underground forge built beneath the palace, and now all that's missing are the people and forging tools.

"Alright, then Your Highness, please wait for me in Wuhun City."

Lou Gao seemed to be a man of few words, speaking without any embellishment or fancy phrases, but Gu Han didn't care about that, as long as he had the ability.

There's a saying that goes, "Be slow to speak but quick to act."

I'm not afraid of you not knowing how to speak, I'm afraid of you talking nonsense but doing nothing.

"In that case, I will wait for Senior Lou Gao in Wuhun City."

Gu Han bowed slightly to Lou Gao and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Lou Gao was startled and quickly stepped forward to support Gu Han.

Gu Han straightened up and smiled, "Senior Lou Gao, I'll take you back to Gengxin City first. After that, you can focus on arranging things. Whether it takes half a year or a year, as long as you can come to Wuhun City, that's fine."

"This"

Lou Gao was somewhat flattered. For the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall to value him so highly made him feel like he'd met a mentor. He looked at Gu Han solemnly and said:
"Your Highness, rest assured, no matter what, even if my people are unwilling to leave, I will go to Wuhun City myself. At worst, I will just recruit more apprentices!"

"Senior Lou Gao, there's no need to be so formal. Your words are enough."

Gu Han smiled; Lou Gao seemed to be a kind person.

After sending Lou Gao back to Gengxin City, Gu Han stayed for a few more days before returning to Wuhun City.

Gu Han had originally planned to go to Tian Dou, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, he had other things to do.

Since the goal is to unify the continent, there is one thing that must be done.

That is public opinion.

The nobles don't care about the merits the Spirit Hall has done for the continent over the past ten thousand years, and ordinary people are unaware of them.

That won't do. To unify the continent, winning hearts and minds is essential.

With popular support, future wars will encounter far less resistance.
