Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 219 Leng Yulai: Brother-in-law~ You haven't forgotten me! (Seeking monthly votes, double votes on the last day!)

"Boom!"

Outside the forging room rooftop, the accumulated thunderclouds were incredibly thick, and the flashing lightning was extremely violent, but it seemed to be brewing something and never struck.

Upon closer inspection, one will notice that the color of the lightning is quite strange.

There are four colors: red, blue, yellow, and cyan.

Any knowledgeable blacksmith could recognize at a glance that these four colors, infused with lightning, were none other than the four laws of heaven and earth: fire, water, earth, and wind.

In addition, an even more astonishing scene unfolded inside the forging room.

Before the forging table, which was entirely made of Soul Forged Metal, a young man had his eyes closed. Above his head was a funnel of four-colored elements. The four elements were spinning rapidly and merging into one, attracting more elements to be injected, causing their concentration to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It seems my words of comfort were truly unnecessary."

Zhenhua stood aside, looking at the scene before him with a surprised expression.

As a beginner in Heaven Forging, Nan Liujing only watched him try Heaven Forging once before picking up the metal and starting to operate, and the key point is that he actually succeeded.

The same principle applies to forging a thousand grades with a single hammer blow, forging with a single hammer blow, and forging with a single hammer blow.

When he reached the crucial Heavenly Forging stage, he communicated with the laws of heaven and earth without any obstruction. Clearly, his spiritual power had already reached the pinnacle of the current Soul Master world, the Spirit Domain Realm, or even awakened an extremely powerful spiritual domain. Otherwise, the speed at which he attracted various elements would not have been faster than his.

Suddenly, Nan Liujing, with his eyes closed, lightly tapped the deep-sea silver on the forging table with his left index finger. At the same time, the four-colored funnel above his head rapidly released a powerful amount of elemental energy, which was injected into the metal.

The originally grayish-blue metal now shimmers with four colors on its surface, filled with powerful energy fluctuations.

And the metal quietly transformed into a miniature version of Nan Ryu-kyung.

"Heart training."

Zhenhua watched intently, anticipating the birth of a brand-new master craftsman.

The so-called "heart forging" is treating the metal as one's own child, nurturing it with care, and endowing it with wisdom and soul, so that the metal will take on the shape of the forger. Such metal, once it successfully survives the tribulation lightning, will be at least one-fifth stronger than Heaven-forged metal that has not undergone heart forging.

Envy welled up in Zhenhua's eyes.

Compared to his apprentice, the elemental impact he experienced when facing the infusion of four elements into the metal would place a much greater burden on his body.

But what about Nan Liujing?
He stood steadily, his face calm, like a pillar of strength, unmoved by wind and rain.

When the four elements faced him, they were as docile as little white rabbits.

"It's true what they say, comparisons are odious." Although Zhenhua said this, he couldn't hide the pride on his face.

Nan Liujing calmly watched the deep-sea silver being infused with elements. He knew that it wasn't that his skills were better than Zhenhua's; he was simply cheating.

Because of his status as a child of nature, the impact of the elements on him is almost negligible.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the thunderclouds, which had been brewing for a long time, waited for the metal to have its fill of elements before unleashing their violent power. A bolt of four-colored tribulation lightning pierced through the four-colored funnel and then struck the deep-sea silver with tremendous force.

The deep-sea silver trembled violently. In the next instant, as if it knew that the tribulation lightning was what would transform it, its originally deep surface shone with an extremely dazzling light. Four strange streams of light flowed in a cycle, which looked quite magnificent.

It is forcibly absorbing the power of the tribulation lightning.

Nan Liujing heard the cries of pain from the metal soul, as well as its unwavering determination not to give up.

"Come again!"

Nan Liujing whispered, as if he were speaking in a low voice.

Thunderclouds immediately unleashed another bolt of tribulation lightning. This time, the four-colored lightning was even thicker, contained an incredibly chilling aura, and consisted of two bolts.

The lightning struck the sunken silver in the deep sea once again.

This time, Nan Liujing's expression changed slightly.

It wasn't that I felt solemn, but rather that I had gained some insights that Zhenhua University hadn't taught me.

Compared to the first wave of tribulation lightning, the two bolts of this second wave, upon striking the metal, directly caused a relationship of mutual generation and restraint among the four elements. An astonishing elemental explosion was directly fed back to the blacksmith in the form of lightning.

Nan Liujing's internal energy and blood also surged slightly.

Having already raised his Qi and Blood power to the peak of the Soul Master world, he hadn't felt the sensation of his Qi and Blood being stirred for a long time. Although the impact of the four-colored tribulation lightning was very weak for him, it was still there, and it could barely serve to temper his physique.

At the same time, it's no wonder that the failure rate of Heavenly Forging is so high.

Metal has a limited load-bearing capacity, so the blacksmith is also responsible for a portion of the pressure resistance.

As a master of ultimate lightning attribute, no human on the entire Douluo Star understands lightning better than him.

Even without the Thunderous Hell Vine appearing, Nan Liujing could actively extract the energy from the tribulation lightning while leaving just the right amount of tribulation lightning energy to allow the metal to complete its sublimation.

Then, three bolts of tribulation lightning descended, followed by four.

Without exception, no matter how many lightning bolts struck, Nan Liujing withstood most of the pressure. Metal, sensing this change, cooperated fully, actively absorbing the remaining lightning power and gradually perfecting its law imprint, undergoing a complete transformation.

Under Zhenhua's silent gaze, the last bolt of tribulation lightning struck.

The deep-sea silver suddenly burst forth with dazzling four-colored light, its halo swirling, looking radiant and full of hazy beauty.

"Finalized".

Zhenhua quickly replied.

Nan Liujing naturally understood.

The characteristics of this piece of deep-sea silver were originally suited to strength-type Soul Masters, so he chose to shape it to suit strength-type Soul Masters.

After all this was done, the original deep-sea silver had transformed into a human-shaped arm, containing an astonishing amount of life force, no less than that of a near-demigod level Limit Douluo.

"Teacher, you can retire now."

Looking at the work before him, Nan Liujing joked without even taking a breath.

Zhenhua rushed forward, ignoring the scorching heat of the metal, grabbed it, and felt the special properties of the Heavenly Forged Metal. His eyes shone brightly.

"You actually succeeded! You actually did it!"

Zhenhua laughed heartily, "When I tried to forge the Heavenly Forging Technique, I failed nearly a thousand times, but you succeeded on your first try. It seems I really have to retire."

Nan Liujing waved his hand, and the four-colored funnel and thunderclouds overhead quickly dissipated, allowing sunlight to shine down again.

Zhenhua was still admiring his apprentice's work. Nan Liujing, on the other hand, seemed lost in thought.

Unlike Tang Wulin in the original timeline who directly underwent the Seven Elements Heavenly Forging, he chose the Four Elements Heavenly Forging for the first time. The pressure was not nonexistent, but it was better than nothing.

He certainly wouldn't use this piece of four-element forged metal himself, nor would he give it to his woman. Giving it to a close friend would be a bit too low a price.

After all, Heavenly Forging can also be fused with Heavenly Forging, and this piece of Deep Sea Silver is a single metal Heavenly Forging.

"Teacher," Nan Liujing said immediately, "please help me deal with this piece of Heavenly Forged Stone. You can sell it to those Soul Masters who are on good terms with you."

Zhenhua nodded and said, "I knew you wouldn't use this. Okay, once I find a suitable person, I'll sell it and mention your name on the deal, is that alright?"

Nan Liujing grinned: "Whatever you say."

"correct."

After saying that, Nan Liujing took out a jade box from his robes. Zhenhua thought to himself, "Is this the immortal herb for me?"

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "You have been undergoing Heavenly Forging over the years, which has damaged your Qi and blood. When I stayed in the Three Realms Battlefield, I found a Grade 9 Blood Dragon Ginseng. After you take it, it will be enough to make up for the loss of Qi and blood over the years, and may even improve the aftereffects of your cultivation improvement by using medicine."

Zhenhua's eyes widened: "So, I also have a chance to break through to Super Douluo?"

"Yes," Nan Liujing affirmed.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a white light flashed before his eyes, and Zhenhua snatched it away with incredible speed.

Zhenhua gently stroked the jade box as if it were a rare treasure, and exclaimed, "This disciple was truly a success. I just saw you sending immortal herbs to Muye, but not to your teacher. I was even planning to hide some when I taught you Heavenly Forging."

"Teacher, is it okay to say that?" Nan Liujing's lips twitched.

Zhenhua said seriously, "Alright, completing one Heavenly Forging is nothing. You need to get involved in more Metal Heavenly Forging and Fusion-level Heavenly Forging. Don't stop before eating."

And so, Nan Liujing stayed in the forging room until mealtime.

"So, Liu Jing is already a master craftsman?"

At the dinner table, Mu Ye poured fine wine with great enthusiasm. When he learned that Nan Liujing had forged three pieces of Heavenly Forging Metal in succession, he did not show much emotional fluctuation, obviously having anticipated this day.

As Zhenhua sipped the soup made from the finest seafood that Mu Ye had brought from the Blood Sea Gully, he said indifferently, "Don't you even realize how powerful his master is?"

Mu Ye coldly exposed Zhen Hua: "You're kidding me. You only account for 25% of Liu Jing's achievements at most."

"You bastard." Zhenhua glared at him.

Mu Ye ignored him and used serving chopsticks to put food on Nan Liujing's plate with a smile: "Liujing, can I ask you for a favor?"

Nan Liujing said: "You say."

Mu Ye rubbed his hands together and tentatively said, "As you know, your teacher is too weak. These days, he can't even finish a few pieces of Heavenly Forging Metal all year round..."

Zhenhua cursed, "You're the one who's weak!"

Ignoring his good brother's breach of defense, Mu Ye continued to say to Nan Liujing, "I have a disciple named Aruheng. He has already reached the eighth ring of cultivation. Thanks to your master's support, he has also acquired his own three-word battle armor. I'd like to get him a set of Heaven-Forged Metal from you. What do you think?"

"Of course, you can rest assured that I will definitely double the reward you are entitled to."

As he spoke, Mu Ye took out a rare metal that Nan Liujing was extremely familiar with from his storage soul tool.

Gold and water complement each other.

"Where did you get this Jinshui Xianghan?" Zhenhua asked in surprise.

Makino said calmly, "I obtained this from the sea."

Looking at the piece of gold and water that was significantly larger than the one he had before, Zhenhua said in surprise, "This piece of yours is enough to complete two pieces of battle armor."

"This is the deposit." Mu Ye pushed Jin Shui Xiang Han in front of Nan Liu Jing. "If you want to create the most powerful four-word battle armor in the history of Douluo Continent, you definitely need this, right?"

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow, grabbed the item, and put it into his storage ring. He said solemnly, "To evolve a three-word battle armor into a four-word battle armor, you need ten pieces of four-element Heavenly Forging. For each additional element, the requirement decreases by two pieces. I will provide you with four seven-element Fusion-grade Heavenly Forging pieces. As for the reward, this piece of Golden Water Convergence will suffice."

Mu Ye was taken aback. Four pieces of seventh-element fusion-grade Heavenly Forged Stones were something even he, who was closest to the Divine Craftsman, did not possess. Their value was immeasurable, and this one piece of Gold and Water Containment was simply not enough.

“If you don’t agree, then I won’t agree to the deal either,” Nan Liujing said definitively.

Makino was filled with emotion, "Now I owe you a huge favor."

Drop drop drop.

Just as Nan Liujing was about to say something to lighten the mood, his cell phone rang urgently.

He took it out, looked at it, and immediately answered the call.

"Flowing Scenery".

A voice came from the other end, and it was none other than Zhang Huanyun, the Mirror Douluo. He said in a deep voice, "There is some good news amidst the misfortune. Today, Wuqing and I discovered two extremely well-hidden evil soul masters, each of whom is a low-level titled Douluo."

"We've been tricked by the Holy Spirit Cult again..." Nan Liujing's eyes narrowed slightly: "To activate the Blood God Array, at least nine evil soul masters need to act simultaneously to interfere and sabotage it. In other words, there's a high probability that seven more evil soul masters are hiding in the shadows. Senior, have you alerted them?"

Zhang Huanyun said in a deep voice, "You can rest assured about that."

Nan Liujing said, "Stop the inspection for now, lest we be discovered. Continue with our previous plan."

"Fine." Zhang Huanyun's tone was cold, clearly enraged by the few rats that had crawled into his own army's sewers.

If it weren't for Nan Liujing's reminder, these evil soul masters would have secretly caused trouble, leading to the breaking of the Blood God's seal and the long-planned attack of the Abyss army. The Blood God Legion would not have been able to withstand it, and it would most likely have led to the annihilation of the entire legion.

Communication ends.

Mu Ye couldn't help but ask, "Blood God Formation, could the person you were talking to be from the Blood God Legion?"

Nan Liujing said, "It is Zhang Huanyun, the Mirror Douluo."

Nan Liujing immediately recounted everything he and Zhang Huanyun had discussed.

Upon learning that evil spirit masters had infiltrated humanity's first line of defense, Mu Ye and Zhen Hua couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

The massacre caused by the Abyss back then wiped out the top-tier Soul Masters of the entire Douluo Continent.

Mu Ye also wanted to contribute, saying, "I have a way that might help us find the other seven undiscovered evil spirit masters."

Nan Liujing became interested and said, "Please explain in detail, senior."

Mu Ye said, "Aruheng has cultivated his body to the level of the Son of the Sun by relying on the secret techniques of my Body Sect. He has an unparalleled ability to perceive yin and evil auras. You can contact Mingjing Douluo. As long as he agrees, I will send Aruheng there immediately."

Zhenhua frowned and said, "Aruheng is not satisfied with being a Title Douluo. No matter how much he senses, he can't possibly detect evil soul masters above the Super Douluo level. What if we send him there and he gets exposed?"

Makino was speechless for a moment.

Nan Liujing asked, "What level is Aruheng at now?"

Makino said, "Level 88."

Nan Liujing chuckled and said, "Then I can recommend a good place for him, where he might be able to break through to the ninth ring of cultivation sooner."

"Where?" Mu Ye asked hurriedly. A Soul Master needs constant training, but with Aruheng's physique and strength, conventional training has long been ineffective.

"Temple of the God of War." A famous scenic spot in Nanliu.

Makino and Zhenhua looked at each other in bewilderment.

After finishing his meal in one go, Nan Liujing stood up and said, "Senior, if you agree, I can contact the Divine Brush Douluo. As for finding the evil soul master, I have another method I can use. Let's start from there. If that doesn't work, we can have Aruheng try."

After saying goodbye to the two, Nan Liujing hurriedly left the Forging Masters Association.

at the same time.

In a dark underground world, a woman with an eerily beautiful face slowly picked up a specially made communication phone.

The white light accentuated her stunningly beautiful and exquisite face, and upon closer inspection, she bore a striking resemblance to Leng Yaozhu.

Upon seeing the words appear on the screen, the woman's face flushed instantly, her breathing quickened, and her body trembled.

"Brother-in-law, you haven't forgotten me!"

Her blood-red lips slowly curved into a smile.
