Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 89 Ye Ling's Promise, Golden Crocodile Douluo Makes His Appearance!

Ye Ling was fully aware of the ulterior motives of the Blacksmiths' Association, or rather, the ulterior motives of Lou Gao.

The reason why the Blacksmiths Association has been blocking the Patching Pavilion from taking away the purchased metal is simply to delay the process.

The Spirit Hall cannot pretend that the bishop of the Spirit Hall was seriously injured in the street.

If Ye Ling and the others escape before the Spirit Hall can hold them accountable, then the Spirit Hall's wrath will inevitably fall on the Blacksmith Association.

Moreover, Lou Gao probably wants to delay for a while longer so that he can take the opportunity to learn more about soul tools from Kong Deming.

Although the blacksmiths' association had ulterior motives, Ye Ling still chose to cooperate.

After all, in order to reclaim Lou Gao and the Blacksmith Association, in addition to demonstrating soul guidance technology, it is also necessary to flex our muscles at the right time.

No matter who the Spirit Hall sends to Gengjin City, as long as Kong Deming, a level 10 Soul Master, is there, Ye Ling is not afraid at all.

…………

"Professor Kong, how have you felt about spending time with Senior Lou Gao these past few days?"

Sitting in the VIP room on the first floor of the Blacksmiths Association, Ye Ling looked at Kong Deming, whom he hadn't seen for several days, and couldn't help but smile.

"He's a tech fanatic, and a genius at forging!"

Kong Deming thought about his interactions with Lou Gao over the past few days and gave him a very high evaluation.

"If we could bring Lou Gao into our Patching Heaven Pavilion, we might actually be able to use forged alloys to replace the rare metals in the soul tool."

Kong Deming's expression was very serious.

The biggest constraint on the development of soul tools in Douluo Continent is the production of rare metals.

If forged alloys can truly replace rare metals, then there will be no more obstacles to the future of the Butian Pavilion.

Forging techniques actually go far beyond simply forging alloys.

The creation of the battle armor in the Legend of the Dragon King also required the participation of a master craftsman.

Therefore, Ye Ling was determined to get Lou Gao!

"These past few days, Master Kong must have held back some of the soul tool techniques he taught him, right?"

Ye Ling glanced meaningfully at Kong Deming.

"Young Master, rest assured, Lou Gao will probably be looking for us soon."

Kong Deming and Ye Ling exchanged a smile.

These two are cunning foxes, how could they possibly let others take advantage of them?

Having Kong Deming explain soul tools to Lou Gao was also a way to completely bring Lou Gao into the Patching Heaven Pavilion.

"Old Kong, Old Kong, you're actually keeping secrets from me!"

No sooner had the two finished speaking than Lou Gao rushed into the VIP room.

After the two became more familiar with each other over the past few days, even their way of addressing each other became more intimate.

“These formations are indeed not difficult to carve, but why can’t I give the rare metals special abilities when I carve them according to the formations you left behind?”

Lou Gao's expression was very unpleasant, even showing the glare of someone who had been tricked.

"Senior Lou Gao, the Soul Tool is our Heaven-Mending Pavilion's greatest secret. How can I let you know all its secrets?"

Ye Ling held his head high, looking completely confident that Lou Gao was the best he could do.

Kong Deming simply smiled and said nothing.

"I knew you had ulterior motives all along!"

Lou Gao stood with his arms crossed, his expression like that of a long-satisfied woman confined to her boudoir.

"Senior Lou Gao probably didn't have any good intentions either, did he?"

Ye Ling tapped her long, slender fingers rhythmically on the table, looking at the tall building in front of her with a half-smile.

"They're holding back the inspection of our goods because they want to learn more about soul tools from our Grand Elder of the Soul Guidance Hall."

"They might be waiting for the Spirit Hall to hold them accountable, thinking of pushing us out to take the fall."

Upon hearing this, Lou Gao's old face immediately turned red.

Even his previously aggressive demeanor inexplicably softened.

"Senior Lou Gao, there's no need for that."

Seeing that Lou Gao did not refute, Ye Ling continued.

"In fact, our Patching Heaven Pavilion understands your concerns very well."

"What the senior wanted was simply to prevent the Blacksmith Association from getting involved in the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and to remain neutral and on the sidelines."

At this point, Ye Ling's expression instantly turned sharp. "But all these years, the Blacksmiths' Association has been accommodating, yet the Spirit Hall has still been pressing us relentlessly, hasn't it?"

"After I crippled Miles, did you notice any change in the atmosphere of the entire Gengjin City?"

Lou Gao opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

"A great man whom I greatly admire once said: Peace will survive if we seek it through struggle, but it will perish if we seek it through compromise."

Seeing Lou Gao's pensive expression, Ye Ling's tone softened.

"Why don't the Blacksmiths Association try a different approach? If they are willing to cooperate with our Heaven-Mending Pavilion, I will send a Title Douluo to be stationed in Gengjin City for a long time to ensure the safety of the Blacksmiths Association."

Upon hearing this, Lou Gao suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on Ye Ling.

“A Title Douluo is no ordinary being. Can you really allow a Title Douluo to reside permanently in Gengjin City and guarantee the interests of our Blacksmiths Association?”

"I am the young master of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. I can make decisions on all matters of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion and command all members of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Ye Ling also stood up, not avoiding Lou Gao's gaze at her.

"Anyone belonging to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, even a Super Douluo of level 95 or above, must obey my orders."

This was not a whim of Ye Ling's.

Gengjin City is extremely important to Ye Ling, or rather to the Butian Pavilion.

Only by sending a titled Douluo to be stationed here long-term can we ensure that the various metal energy sources of Gengjin City continuously flow into the Butian Pavilion.

Moreover, a titled Douluo powerhouse would be enough to keep an eye on the entire Blacksmith Association for him.

Lou Gao's expression was uncertain, and he ultimately failed to give an immediate answer.

"is it here?"

While Lou Gao hesitated, Miles, who was still recovering from serious injuries, was dragged off the bed.

"Yes, Second Elder, this is the Blacksmiths' Association of Gengjin City."

Miles was pale and looked like a child in the hands of the tall golden crocodile.

"Okay, you just wait here and watch me get revenge for you."

Golden Crocodile put Miles down and his soul power suddenly erupted.

Almost instantly, Kong Deming and Ye Ling's expressions changed drastically within the Blacksmiths' Association.

Even the entire city of Gengjin seemed to fall silent in an instant.

"I am Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Elder of the Spirit Hall."

"Ye Ling of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, Silver Moon Douluo, come out and answer!"

His voice was deep and powerful, and all the soul masters and ordinary people whose soul power had not reached the level of a titled Douluo felt their blood and qi churning.

"The Second Elder of the Spirit Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo?"

"This old codger must be over two hundred years old, right? What kind of wind could blow this old thing out like that?"

At this moment, at the entrance of Gengjin City, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes had a slight change in expression.

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

"Could this be the legendary Patching Heaven Pavilion that's been circulating in the Soul Master world lately?"

"Damn it, what Silver Moon Douluo? Could it be that the two titled Douluos from the Spirit Hall and the Heaven-Mending Pavilion are planning a big battle in Gengjin City?"

The middle-aged man paced back and forth at the city gate, his expression unusually conflicted.

"Why did the Second Miss have to be brought to a place like this?"

"What if I can't bring the second young lady back? How am I supposed to explain this to the Duke and the royal family?!"

　I always felt that the idea of ​​Lou Gao, or the Blacksmith Association, joining the Tang Sect in the original Douluo Continent was a ridiculous thing.

　　Just for hidden weapons?
　　It feels like the entire blacksmiths' association has no presence.

　　Lou Gao was more like a fool, completely fooled by Tang San.

　　Actually, there was too much writing about Geng Jincheng's storyline in this part.

　　There's no other way; it's all for the sake of logical consistency.

　　Speaking of which, we're about to go hunt for the third spirit ring.

　　After this part of the story, we'll be heading to the far north.

　　I've roughly decided what kind of spirit ring I want.
