Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 151 Preparing for Soul Forging!

Su Qiu couldn't reveal the details about Yuan En Hui and the Demon Dimension.

He stammered, unsure how to explain.

Facing increasingly dangerous gazes from those around him, he took a deep breath and forced himself to ramble on: "Regarding this matter, all I can say is that those who know, know. Knowing won't do you any good; the interests involved are too great. I can only say the waters run deep."

The culprit, Yuan En Ye Hui, who had been watching from the sidelines, was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

Yes, she did it on purpose.

She still remembered how Su Qiu had acted as a riddle teller in front of her before.

Su Qiu's explanation clearly wouldn't fool many people. His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Just when Su Qiu couldn't continue making up the story and was preparing to run away,

The communicator rang.

The ringing of the bell broke the tense atmosphere among them.

Su Qiu felt as if she had been granted a pardon and immediately answered, "Hello?"

It was Mu Chen calling: "Xiao Qiu, where are you now? Can you come to the association?"

At this moment, Mu Chen's voice sounded like heavenly music to Su Qiu's ears.

He pretended to wipe away his tears of emotion, his voice trembling with sobs: "Teacher, you are my best teacher."

Mu Chen was startled by his sudden "heartfelt confession" and was stunned for two seconds before she reacted: "What are you doing now?"

"Teacher, tell me what happened." Su Qiu waved the communicator at the girls around her, making a helpless expression. "I'm coming right away."

"Well, how should I put it?" Mu Chen's tone was somewhat subtle: "Someone came to cause trouble, saying they wanted to challenge the geniuses in our association."

"Good for you! Cough cough. I mean, who's so arrogant! Don't they know the Shrek City Association is under my protection, Little Master Craftsman!" Su Qiu said excitedly, "Coming right away!"

He then said sadly to the girls, "I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore, you know that."

He pointed to the communicator, and after a moment's thought, he said with great regret, "I am also very sorry, but the Forging Masters Association cannot do without me."

All the women:
Na'er was furious. She started to wonder if she should ask Di Tian to sneak into Mu Chen's bed in the middle of the night.

Gu Yue remained calm: "I happen to have nothing to do either, so I'll go with you to take a look."

Xu Xiaoyan immediately raised her hand: "I want to go too! I've never been to the Blacksmith Association in Shrek City before."

Ye Xinglan nodded: "We agreed to rest with you guys today, so I'll go too."

Su Qiu didn't care about this.

Once he's in the association, he won't step out for a single moment during this month-long vacation!

Upon arriving at the blacksmith's hall, one finds it already packed with people, their voices rising and falling in a cacophony of conversation.

But as soon as Su Qiu entered, she became the center of attention. All the whispers and murmurs ceased.

Su Qiu never hides his forging talent, so he now enjoys a very high reputation in the forging world, almost second only to Zhen Hua.

There's no other reason than she's simply awesome.

Every blacksmith who witnessed Su Qiu's forging process believed that he was destined to become a master craftsman.

Su Qiu glanced around. There were quite a few familiar faces, even Zhen Hua was there.

Almost every prominent figure in the forging world within the Federation was present.

The reason it's "almost" is because Feng Wuyu isn't there.

"What does this mean?"

Mu Chen secretly explained to Su Qiu via telepathy.

Because of Su Qiu's terrifying feat of single-handedly defeating two Evil Douluos not long ago, Zhenhua and he were worried that someone might become wary of him and make a move against Su Qiu. So they gathered the blacksmiths here for a party to discuss supporting Su Qiu.

Then someone came to cause trouble.

Su Qiu then realized why the Blacksmith Association was so lively today, like it was Chinese New Year. It turned out that Zhen Hua and Mu Chen were "backing him up".

He felt a warmth in his heart, but he couldn't help but complain, "They didn't even invite me to the party."

Mu Chen glared at him irritably: "Stop talking nonsense."

Zhenhua laughed heartily, stepped forward, and patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Qiu, you've finally arrived."

"Let's get straight to the point," Su Qiu shouted. "Who's trying to cause trouble?"

This shout immediately drew everyone's attention to the center of the hall.

There stood an old man and a young boy. The old man's hair was already gray, but he looked very energetic.

The other person was a girl who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was extremely beautiful and had a slender figure.

Seeing everyone looking over, the old man got down to business, saying calmly, "I am Chang Gongyan. I heard there is a grand gathering of blacksmiths here, so I brought my apprentice to challenge the younger generation of the Blacksmith Association."

Upon hearing this, everyone tacitly suppressed their laughter.

The old man pointed to the girl beside him: "This is my apprentice, Lin Yuhan. If any blacksmith under the age of twenty in your Blacksmith Association can beat her, then we will consider ourselves to have lost. If we lose, we will join the Blacksmith Association."

After speaking, he looked intently at Su Qiu. Judging from the atmosphere around him, Su Qiu must be the top genius here.

"Hmm," Su Qiu, who respected the elderly and cared for the young, stepped forward arrogantly: "Grandpa, do you know who I am?"

Chang Gongyan snorted coldly: "I only care about strength, not names."

"Oh." Su Qiu nodded: "From the Star Luo Continent?"

The old man and the young girl's expressions changed drastically.

Oh shit, box!

They couldn't help but observe their surroundings, only to find that everyone's expressions were as if they had expected it.

"Don't be surprised. I'm actually quite famous in Douluo Continent. If you don't recognize me, you're probably from Star Luo Continent."

Chang Gongyan was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking: "Our purpose in coming here today is very simple: to exchange skills."

Su Qiu nodded: "Of course. How do you suggest we compete?"

Chang Gongyan was clearly very confident in his apprentice: "It's very simple. We'll have two rounds. In the first round, we'll choose a metal, and you'll forge it together. In the second round, you'll choose another metal and forge it together."

"With this comparison, it's simple and clear who is better and who is worse."

Once everything was ready, the competition began.

Lin Yuhan chose the Blue Pregnant Bronze Soul Ring. She made the first move, her soul power suddenly erupting, and four purple soul rings appeared. Her hammer technique was sharp and precise, each strike carrying a strong sense of power, sparks flying, and her movements flowing smoothly.

In contrast, Su Qiu seemed rather casual. Not only did she not begin forging, but she even watched from the sidelines, remarking, "It's quite interesting."

Why haven't they made a move yet? Chang Gongyan frowned, sensing something was amiss.

Looking around, he found that the blacksmiths around him also showed no signs of worry.

They looked at Lin Yuhan with great interest, "Is this the forging style of the Star Luo Continent?"

Until Lin Yuhan completed the spirit forging and ended the forging process, Chang Gongyan's unease grew stronger, and he couldn't help but ask, "Have you admitted defeat?"

Su Qiu did not answer, and slowly walked to his forging table.

"I know you've all gathered in Shrek City today for me, Su Qiu," Su Qiu said. "Since you've all given me so much face..."

"Then I'll put on a show for everyone!"

Soul Forging begins today!
Intuition, luck! Show me your limits!
