Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 171 Is a Lone Dragon Considered a Dragon?
After traveling for some time, Gengxin City was already in sight. Dan Heng looked around and saw that the city walls of Gengxin City were all iron gray, as if they were cast from metal.

This time when he entered the city, Dan Heng did not encounter the same anthropomorphic creature as before.

"The Metal Capital truly lives up to its name."

Upon entering Gengxin City, Dan Heng immediately understood why it was called the Metal Capital.

Basically, you can find a blacksmith shop every few steps in Gengxin City, and the sounds of forging are everywhere, with a strong metallic smell, giving Dan Heng a unique feeling.

He had also been inside the Immortal Boat Manufacturing Bureau, but the people there weren't just blacksmiths; they were tinkering with all sorts of ingenious and strange machines.

As he was walking, Danheng suddenly saw a large crowd gathered ahead, but due to the noise around him, he couldn't hear the specifics of what was happening.

Arriving in the crowd, Danheng found a good spot and saw what everyone was gathered around.

"A long spear?"

Dan Heng examined it carefully. The spear was indeed well-designed, but it looked more like an ornament than something used to kill.

"My goodness, this Dragon Soul Spear was personally crafted by a disciple of Lou Gao, the current president of the Blacksmiths Association and the King of Divine Craftsmen. It incorporates materials from the corpses of dragon-type soul beasts and is imbued with dragon energy!"

"Dragon energy! Does everyone know what this means?"

"This means that even just having this gun is enough to intimidate ordinary soul beasts!"

Upon hearing the seller's words, Dan Heng, who was originally planning to leave, stopped and turned back to take a closer look at the Dragon Soul Spear.

"Can a jiao (蛟) be considered a dragon?"

After seeing clearly the so-called "dragon energy" within the Dragon Soul Spear, Dan Heng found it all quite amusing.

When did the slight resentment generated by the death of a mere, un-transformed dragon goat become known as dragon energy?
Dan Heng roughly estimated that what was fused into this Dragon Soul Spear was probably a solitary dragon that was over ten thousand years old.

The resentment of the lone dragon after its death can indeed deter some weaker soul beasts, but the person wielding the gun will also be affected.

This effect is negligible for powerful people, but the problem is, do powerful people need a spear made of ordinary iron like yours?

Could this person really be a disciple of the legendary craftsman Lou Gao? Perhaps he's just using Lou Gao's name to swindle and deceive people?
"Brother, you're making it sound so impressive, but who knows if your Dragon Soul Spear is really as powerful as you say?"

From the crowd, a burly man spoke up, raising a question.

"Don't believe me? No problem, you can come up here and play with it yourself, but let me make it clear beforehand that if you break it, you'll have to buy it."

The salesman glanced at the composed middle-aged man sitting next to him, and after receiving a signal from the man, immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Okay! I'll give it a try!"

The burly man immediately stepped forward, grabbed the shaft of the Dragon Soul Spear, and was about to lift it up and swing it when he was suddenly struck as if by a heavy blow. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the Dragon Soul Spear in his hand fell to the ground.

The onlookers were startled by what they saw and were about to question him when the middle-aged man sitting in the rocking chair, with a mysterious air, spoke in a low voice:

"Heh, everyone, there's no need to panic. It's normal for those who aren't strong enough to withstand this domineering dragon aura. After all, not everyone can subdue a creature like a dragon."

"Don't you even think before you lie?"

Dan Heng, standing in the crowd, couldn't stand it anymore. This old guy, he just spouts lies as soon as he opens his mouth!

Dragon energy is indeed domineering and beyond the control of ordinary people, but dragon energy will never actively entangle and harm others like the resentment of this lone dragon!

Who are you?

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Dan Heng walked over to the burly man who was being haunted by the resentment of the lone dragon and patted him on the shoulder.

The burly man returned to normal in the next moment. "Thank you for saving me!"

After the burly man stood up, he expressed his gratitude to Dan Heng, but when he sensed Dan Heng's aura, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Why did he feel that this person was the real dragon?

This domineering, noble, and all-conquering power, compared to the pure resentment emanating from the Dragon Soul Spear, is more like a dragon, isn't it?

"What you've fused into your gun is nothing more than the corpse of a lone dragon, yet you're falsely calling it a dragon."

Upon hearing Dan Heng directly reveal the true nature of his "Dragon" Soul Spear, the middle-aged man immediately became agitated.

"Your spear doesn't have any dragon energy at all; it's just tainted with the resentment of the Lone Dragon. Although it can intimidate weaker soul beasts, it will also affect the user."

"Using Lou Gao's name, yet producing such harmful things, are you truly Lou Gao's disciple?"

Upon hearing Dan Heng's words, the onlookers all took a step back, afraid of being affected by the resentment of the lone dragon on the Dragon Soul Spear.

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Seeing that the truth had been exposed, the middle-aged man lost all his previous composure and roared angrily:
"What makes you think this is the resentment of a lone dragon! Have you ever seen a dragon? Do you even know what dragon energy is?"

"Unfortunately, I have indeed seen him before."

Dan Heng closed his eyes slightly, and his clothes changed instantly. A pair of dragon horns appeared on his forehead, and a dragon tail trailed behind him.

Behind Danheng, a phantom image of a Vidyadhara quietly appeared.

For some reason, although this phantom did not display any power, everyone subconsciously believed that this was the real dragon after just one glance.

"A Soul Master with a Dragon-type Martial Soul?!"

Seeing Dan Heng's state, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned pale and then red. Was he having a run of bad luck today?

As a metal capital, Gengxin City usually sees outsiders coming to the Blacksmith Association to register or take the blacksmith level test.

Why would a Soul Master with a dragon-type martial soul suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Just as the middle-aged man was struggling with how to break the deadlock, Dan Heng directly revealed his Cloud-Striking Spear and forcefully shoved it into the ground.

"This spear truly embodies the dragon's aura!"

When the burly man saw Ji Yun, he couldn't help but step forward to examine it closely. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but then felt it was inappropriate, since it was someone else's weapon.

Moreover, even the disciple of the true master craftsman Lou Gao, whom he knew, might not be able to create such a forging technique!

"Hmph! Fine, you don't know what's good for you!"

After thinking for a long time, the man still couldn't think of any words to refute the statement, so he could only leave behind this sentence and then slunk away.

After all, Dan Heng himself is a Soul Master with a dragon-type martial soul. When cultivating soul power and hunting soul rings, he must have killed real dragons.

If I keep getting entangled with him, I'm afraid I'll end up having my underwear stripped off!

Dan Heng also pulled Ji Yun from the ground, and just as he was about to retract it, he heard the voice of the burly man from before:
"Sir, please wait a moment."

　Thank you, Mr. Lan Yuguang, for the generous donation of reading coins.
　　Thank you, Boss Lan Yuguang, for the monthly pass.
　　Thank you for your support, boss!
