Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 228 Golden Water Embraces Each Other, Na'er

Gu Yue tilted her head slightly, her silver hair fluttering in the wind: "What are your plans next?"

Gula withdrew the surging martial spirit power around him and casually shrugged: "What other plans could we have? Now is the time to bide our time. The environment at Shrek Academy is perfect for our growth."

A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "Especially the battle armor and mecha technology. If we can create god-level battle armor, it will be a qualitative leap for both of us."

"The battle armor actually has such potential?" Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, her tone carrying a hint of doubt.

"It's just a concept," Gula said casually, but the image of Tang Wulin's battle armor, which eventually evolved to god-level, appeared in his mind.

In the future, as Tang Wulin unlocks the seventeen layers of seals, it may even evolve into a six-word battle armor, comparable to a super artifact.

He clenched his fist secretly. If he wanted to surpass the protagonist, he naturally had to do his best in every aspect.

His goals were certainly not low; he wanted to surpass Tang Wulin, otherwise all his cheat codes would have been for nothing.

Gu Yue gazed thoughtfully at Gula. Knowing this fellow being as she did, she knew he never did anything pointless. It seemed the path of battle armor truly deserved more effort. A divine artifact combining defense and amplification was equally significant to her.

"By the way, does the Star Dou Great Forest have a rare metal called 'Gold and Water Intermingling'?"

Gula suddenly thought: "The metal alloy I forged for you and me has a fusion rate of at least 95%, and can combine the properties of nine rare metals."

"With so many rare metals, conflicts are inevitable, preventing them from exerting their full potential. We need the balance of metal and water as a central element to harmonize and contain the other eight metals."

The metal that combines gold and water is a very special rare metal. It does not have an amplifying effect, but it has the property of containing and balancing other metals.

It can help the battle armor unleash 100% of its power, and its quantity is extremely rare. Even the master craftsman Zhenhua only has one in his collection.

Gu Yue turned her gaze to Di Tian, ​​who was standing quietly to the side. The Black Dragon King pondered for a moment: "My lord, there are indeed five copies. To prevent them from falling into human hands, I have been keeping them personally."

"Fetch it for him," Gu Yue ordered crisply.

"Yes." Di Tian naturally dared not have any questions and turned to leave.

Gula was secretly delighted. As expected of the ruler of all soul beasts, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. With the Star Dou Great Forest at his disposal, he could easily find treasures that were rarely seen in the outside world.

A short while later, when Di Tian presented the piece of metal that gleamed with a watery golden light, Gula couldn't help but hold his breath.

The metal surface shimmered with a liquid-like luster, as if it contained the eternal principles of life. He carefully took it, his fingertips able to feel the wondrous energy fluctuations it contained.

"Thank you." Gula solemnly put away the treasure, his mind already beginning to sketch out the blueprint for his future battle armor. With the support of the Star Dou Great Forest, his plan would surely be twice as effective.

Having benefited from the situation, Gula was not stingy with his own contribution: "Design your battle armor as soon as possible, and leave the rest to me."

Gu Yue nodded slightly. Now that she was paying more attention to the battle armor, she would definitely spend more time designing it.

The two then discussed their experiences designing battle armor before Di Tian led them back to Shrek City.

……

The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the Shrek Academy's playground in a golden halo, illuminating the running track. Tang Wulin was leading the students of Class Zero in their daily running lap training. His steps were steady and powerful, each one firm and solid. Sweat streamed down his face, glistening in the sunset.

"Keep your breathing rhythm!" Tang Wulin shouted back to Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan, "Five more laps!"

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying a faint, sweet fragrance. A commotion suddenly arose at the edge of the training ground, and many trainees stopped training, their eyes all turning to the same direction.

"elder brother!"

The voice was as melodious as a clear spring, yet it carried an undisguised joy. Tang Wulin's steps suddenly halted. That voice... that address... he hadn't heard it for five years.

His heart pounded in his chest as he slowly turned around, his gaze passing over the crowd of onlookers.

A silver-haired, purple-eyed girl stood at the edge of the track, her pure white dress swaying gently in the breeze, like a blooming lily.

The sunlight cast a soft glow on her, making her skin appear as white as snow. Five years had passed, and Na'er had blossomed into a graceful young woman, but Tang Wulin recognized her at a glance by her amethyst-like eyes and the playful smile on her lips.

The silver-haired girl paid no attention to the amazement of passersby. When she saw Tang Wulin and the others on the playground in the distance, her purple eyes instantly sparkled with a captivating light.

"Na'er?!" His voice trembled slightly, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Na'er had already run up to him, her big purple eyes filled with tears: "Brother, I'm back."

Tang Wulin stood frozen in place, his hands unconsciously rising and falling, as if afraid that the person in front of him would vanish like a dream.

It wasn't until Na'er threw herself into his arms that the real touch convinced him it wasn't an illusion.

"You silly girl...where have you been for the past five years? How have you been? Has anyone bullied you?"

Tang Wulin hugged his sister tightly, his voice choked with emotion. He could feel that the girl in his arms was much taller than he remembered, but her dependence and intimacy remained unchanged.

At the edge of the playground, Wu Changkong frowned, about to step forward to stop this interruption of training. Shen Yi quickly pulled him back:

"Senior brother, that is Na'er, the personal disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master. Her martial soul is the Silver Dragon Spear. The Pavilion Master specially arranged for her to come to the outer academy for exchange and learning."

A hint of surprise flashed in Wu Changkong's icy blue eyes: "The disciple of the Cloud Nether Pavilion Master?" He looked at the embracing brother and sister, his cold expression softening slightly, "But the cultivation environment in the outer courtyard is far inferior to that in the inner courtyard."

"The sect leader has already made arrangements; she can return to Seagod Island to cultivate every day," Shen Yi explained, his gaze unconsciously drawn to the brother and sister who had been reunited after so long.

"As for the reason for coming to the outer courtyard... I heard it's because the Spirit Pagoda has been too ostentatious in the outer courtyard lately." Shen Yi lowered his voice, "The seniors of the Sea God Pavilion couldn't stand it anymore."

At the same time, while talking to Tang Wulin, Na'er subtly glanced around.

She was searching for the figure she both revered and felt an irresistible urge to draw near to—her main personality, Gu Yue. After confirming Gu Yue's absence, she let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

For the past seven years, although she had been accepted as a disciple by Yun Ming and enjoyed the best resources and guidance on Seagod Island, she never dared to contact Gu Yue.

On one hand, it was because of Yunming's strict requirements; on the other hand... her deep-seated fear of reintegration never dissipated. She craved the beauty of the human world, was afraid of losing herself, and was afraid of hurting her brother and teacher.
