Douluo: Reincarnated in Danheng, a Unique Journey of Pioneering

Chapter 173 High Building
There were no guards between the fourth and fifth floors; only an alloy iron door blocked the way.

Silong walked to the alloy door and rhythmically tapped on it.

With his exceptional hearing, Dan Heng could tell that each of the places Si Long's fingers tapped was different, and the force applied to each tap was also different.

As Silong knocked, a slight clicking sound came from inside the metal door.

After Silong knocked thirty-six times, the metal door immediately creaked and groaned, like a mechanism in operation.

Then, the door slowly opened, revealing the passageway to the upper floor.

"Sir, please."

Si Long turned around and gestured to Dan Heng, but his gaze, like Si Cheng's, kept drifting towards Ji Yun.

Dan Heng never imagined that one day he would benefit from Ji Yun's influence and be able to act more conveniently!

Upon reaching the fifth floor, Danheng immediately heard the clanging and banging of metal being struck.

Si Long explained to Dan Heng in a low voice, "Si Cheng should have already explained the situation on the fifth floor to you, so I won't go into details. Just follow me."

There are many forging rooms on the fifth floor, but only a few have the sound of hammering. It seems that being a blacksmith is not an easy job.

Silong led Danheng to the innermost forging room, stood respectfully by the door, and knocked.

"Who?"

A somewhat listless voice came from the forging room. Si Long glanced at the time and felt a little embarrassed. It was just past his teacher's usual afternoon nap time, and the old man should have just gotten up.

"Teacher, it's me, Silong. A gentleman wishes to see you..."

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me?!"

Before Silong could finish speaking, the person inside became impatient.

He was a little tired today and slept a little longer. That guy Silong just disturbed his sweet dreams and stirred up his morning grumpiness.

"Teacher, let me finish. This gentleman is also carrying an unparalleled divine weapon. I think..."

"Snapped"

As soon as the words "peerless divine weapon" were uttered, the door to the forging room opened instantly, interrupting Si Long once again before he could finish speaking.

"A peerless divine weapon! Where is there a peerless divine weapon! Quick, show it to me!"

A round thing darted out of the room and grabbed Silong by the collar, shaking him violently.

Dan Heng looked closely and saw that it was not a round thing, but a short and stout old man.

The old man was only about 1.6 meters tall, but his body seemed to be of average height in both directions. His robe was also very loose, but his small eyes were quite spirited.

“Master, the peerless weapon is not with me; it belongs to this gentleman.”

Si Long pointed to Dan Heng beside him, and Lou Gao then turned around, his gaze towards Dan Heng burning with fervor.

"Hehehe, sir, may I have some treasures of yours that you might be willing to show to me?"

Lou Gao rubbed his hands together, raised his eyebrows which were whitened by some unknown metallic powder, and revealed a... slightly lewd smile?

"President Lou Gao, hello. My name is Dan Heng. I have heard that you are known as a master craftsman, so I have come to pay you a visit."

Dan Heng briefly introduced himself, and Lou Gao nodded earnestly, continuing cheerfully:
"So, where is this peerless divine weapon?"

Dan Heng hesitated for a moment, but still summoned Ji Yun.

Sure enough, when Lou Gao saw Ji Yun, his eyes lit up and he almost drooled to the ground.

That look in his eyes, like someone looking at their beloved wife, left Dan Heng speechless. These blacksmiths, really...
"Ahem, uh, may I ask what business this gentleman has with me?"

After looking at it for a long time, Lou Gao reluctantly withdrew his gaze and asked about the important matter.

Dan Heng couldn't have come to him just to show him this peerless divine weapon; there must be something else going on.

“I have an old acquaintance who is also an excellent craftsman. This spear was forged by his own hands.”

"I've heard that Chairman Lou Gao is renowned for his master craftsmanship, so I've come to pay my respects. I wonder if I could have a look at Chairman Lou Gao's works?"

Dan Heng was indeed a little curious about what level of items the artisans in the Douluo Continent world could create.

Although no matter what level they are at, they are unlikely to be able to compare with the Immortal Ship Manufacturing Company, well, they're already here.

Lou Gao's small eyes narrowed to slits. He could tell that when Dan Heng said the words "old acquaintance," there was a noticeable pause in his tone, and his expression was not very natural.

Could it be that this spear was a peerless divine weapon forged for him by his old acquaintance with his own body as collateral?

Never mind, that's their privacy, it might even be a scar on their skin, I shouldn't ask.

"I see. I suppose your old acquaintance must also be a very skilled craftsman. Even I am amazed by the forging craftsmanship of this spear!"

Lou Gao nodded. He didn't need to study Ji Yun's forging technique in detail. He could tell at a glance that the forger's level was definitely no less than his own, and in fact, it was even higher!
"I just don't know."

Lou Gao suddenly changed the subject, revealing a sly smile just like Si Cheng's.

"I wonder if you could allow me to examine this spear? Rest assured, I will absolutely not allow it to be damaged in the slightest. If it is damaged, then I will be the one to be refined!"

"this."

Dan Heng looked somewhat troubled.

“Mr. Danheng, if you are willing to let me study this gun for even a day, you can take any one of my works. Consider it a good deed for me and you to make a connection.”

"Or, you can give all those things to the gentleman, if you wish!"

"No, what I mean is, this gun is quite heavy, it might be difficult for you to handle."

Dan Heng shook his head. He was just worried that the old man in front of him could really lift the weight of his Cloud-Striking Technique.

Don't end up losing your grip on the gun and getting hurt instead.

"Hahaha! Mr. Danheng, you underestimate us! Which blacksmith isn't stronger than the average person?"

"Don't let my short stature fool you, I'm really strong!"

Lou Gao laughed a few times, thinking that Dan Heng was worried about something.

Worried about his strength? That's a bit of an underestimation of his height.

Aside from being a blacksmith, he is also a Soul Master!
Soul power can greatly enhance physical fitness, so how could someone as tall as him not be able to lift a mere spear?
"Teacher, this gentleman's strength is unfathomable. He himself said that if this gun is heavy, perhaps..."

Just then, Silong leaned close to Lou Gao's ear and whispered something.

As a seven-ring Soul Saint, he couldn't detect any fluctuations in soul power from Dan Heng, which means that Dan Heng's strength is definitely close to that of a Title Douluo, or even a true Title Douluo!
"That's no big deal~"

Unexpectedly, Lou Gao was so overwhelmed with joy that he waved his hand casually, looking extremely confident.

"Then, Chairman Lou Gao, please take this."

　Thank you, Mr. Lan Yuguang, for the generous donation!
　　Thank you for your support, boss!
