Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 401 Dark Blood Demon Gu Chenyu Becomes a Divine Craftsman
The ice element, in particular, emitted a joyful aura, flowing towards Gu Yuena.

Originally, Gu Yuena was the queen of all elements, but with Lu Jun's appearance, Gu Yuena seemed to have been reduced to a mere subject of the ice element, as if Lu Jun was the true queen of the ice element.

All the ice elements only recognize Lu Jun, not her.

Even Gu Yuena had never experienced this feeling before.

Having this is equivalent to possessing Lu Jun's aura, and thus enjoying a portion of Lu Jun's power as an ice elemental monarch.

An indescribable feeling welled up in her heart, and her purple eyes quickly filled with moisture.

She suddenly raised her head, unable to suppress her emotions any longer. She hugged Lu Jun tightly, stood on tiptoe, and offered her soft, fragrant lips to him, kissing him passionately once again, as if she wanted to pour all her reluctance and affection into it.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Gu Yuena's pretty face flushed, and her breathing became a little rapid. She gently pushed Lu Jun away, suppressing her reluctance, and urged him:

"Alright, go quickly, prepare early, and set off as soon as possible... Be careful in everything."

Looking at her reddened eyes, Lu Jun felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He nodded, gave her one last deep look, and then turned and left the cafeteria.

Gu Yuena stood alone, watching his tall figure disappear into the halo of light at the cafeteria entrance, her fingers still tightly gripping the cold snowflake pendant on her chest.

……

Meanwhile, in Tiandou City, at the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association.

The association, which was already somewhat uneasy due to the departure of the master craftsman Zhenhua, was unusually somber today.

In a top-tier forging room that only Zhenhua was qualified to use on ordinary days, a figure stood quietly in the center.

He was dressed in a crisp, state-of-the-art Speaker's uniform, a symbol of the highest power in the Union, and held a cane in his hand. Just standing there, he seemed to be the center of the entire space, radiating an invisible, suffocating pressure.

It was none other than the Federal Speaker, Emperor Xu Tian.

He seemed to have been waiting there for quite some time.

The door to the forging room was pushed open, and Gu Chenyu, having received an emergency transfer order from the Federation, came to replace Zhenhua as the president of the Tiandou City Forging Masters Association.

But when Gu Chenyu saw the people waiting in the forging room, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was instantly filled with shock and awe. He quickly bowed in respect.

"Speaker, why...why did you come in person?"

Inside the forging room, the air seemed to freeze.

Xu Tiandi's gaze calmly fell on Gu Chenyu. His eyes were not sharp, but they carried a profound pressure that seemed to be able to see through the soul and control everything.

Gu Chenyu felt his heart pounding uncontrollably. He forced himself to remain calm, standing there respectfully, awaiting instructions from the highest authority in the Federation.

Emperor Xu spoke slowly, his voice steady yet carrying an undeniable authority:
"It seems the information on the transfer order isn't detailed enough. Haven't you heard? I'll personally grant you the ability to qualify as a master craftsman."

He paused slightly, looking at the shock and confusion flashing in Gu Chenyu's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"A true master craftsman is not merely someone whose skills have reached their peak."

"It is even more necessary to obtain the sole recognition of the origin of the Douluo Star plane."

Xu Tiandi's voice was not loud, but it seemed to contain a peculiar rhythm, resonating with the surrounding space.

"And the speakers of the Sun Moon Federation throughout the ages have all inherited a special ability that allows them to influence or even convey the will of the Douluo Star Plane to a certain extent, helping the plane make its choices."

As he said this, he tightened his grip on the cane slightly, and a faint, almost imperceptible purplish-black light seemed to flash across the tip of the cane.

"Our Xu family is the true chosen one!" Xu Tiandi's tone was filled with an almost fanatical pride and certainty.

"Ten thousand years ago, my ancestor, His Majesty Xu Tianran, was a man of great talent and ambition who single-handedly promoted the unification of the continent. He was the only chosen one by destiny in the Douluo plane."

His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a hint of hatred that had been simmering for millennia:

"If it weren't for... if it weren't for that damned Huo Yuhao, who killed Xu Tianran's ancestor, ruined the great process of unifying the continent, and stole the glory that should have belonged to my Xu family."

Xu Tiandi took a deep breath, his hatred replaced by an extreme ambition, and he smiled meaningfully:

"However, all of that is in the past. Ten thousand years from now, I, Emperor Xu, will complete the great task that my ancestor Xu Tianran was unable to accomplish."

"I was born on the Douluo Continent with the sole purpose of defeating Yun Ming, destroying Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, and letting the light of the Sun Moon Federation truly shine on every corner of the entire Douluo Star!"

Faced with Xu Tiandi's undisguised boastful words and boundless ambition, Gu Chenyu fell into a deathly silence. Cold sweat poured down his back, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

This guy... I've long heard that the current speaker is ambitious and ruthless.

Now it seems that it's even more true than the rumors suggested!

This is practically a carbon copy of Emperor Xu Tianran from 10,000 years ago.

No, it's even more terrifying!
Historical records indicate that Xu Tianran was a cripple with physical disabilities, but the man before them not only possessed unfathomable strength, but his ambition and desire for control seemed even more terrifying.

Gu Chenyu lowered his head, not daring to let the fear in his eyes show. He silently followed Xu Tiandi's signal and sat down in the seat in the center of the room that originally belonged to Zhenhua.

He felt as if the chair weighed a ton and was terribly hot.

"Okay, I accidentally said too much. I apologize, Gu Chenyu. It seems I've been holding it in for too long."

Emperor Xu smiled slightly and said no more.

"Enough of the small talk. Let's begin the ceremony."

He stepped forward and gently tapped Gu Chenyu's brow with the seemingly ordinary cane in his hand.

The moment the cane touched his skin, Gu Chenyu shuddered violently.

It was as if an indescribable, vast, star-like will descended instantly, violently intruding into his mental world.

At that moment, he felt as if his soul had been detached from his body and was suspended in the boundless universe, with a pair of indifferent, ancient, all-encompassing eyes watching him.

That was the gaze of the entire Douluo Star Plane.

Intense pain and a massive influx of information washed over his soul, but at the same time, a sudden realization arose.

Understanding metals, resonating with energy, and the ultimate secrets of forging...

Countless pieces of knowledge that were once obscure and difficult to understand suddenly became crystal clear.

He could even vaguely feel the heartbeat of the earth beneath his feet and sense the flow of various elemental energies in the air.

It seemed as if he had truly been chosen by the entire Douluo Continent!
This process, though seemingly lengthy, actually lasted only a few breaths.

Emperor Xu slowly withdrew his cane, a gentle smile on his face:

"Alright, the ceremony is complete. From this moment on, you, Gu Chenyu, are the only Divine Craftsman of Douluo Star in this era."
