Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

However, since it was given away for free, he did not refuse.

Zhenhua didn't see Lu Fa out the door, but instead told him to leave through the back door. Too many people had witnessed his half-step Soul Forging performance, and Zhenhua's status in the forging world was too high.

If they both appear in the lobby, it will be really difficult for them to get away.

Chapter 270 Poseidon Pavilion Meeting

"Zhenhua, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me from taking on a disciple?" After Zhenhua saw Lu Fa off, he was met with the menacing Mu Ye.

Zhenhua said irritably, "Is this how you take on disciples? Lu Fa is still young and shouldn't be bound by these sect rules. If you want to take on disciples, wait until he graduates from the Soul Master Academy."

"But you know the situation of our sect. It's not easy to find such a good prospect. How can I not be anxious?"

“That won’t do either, old friend. You’ve seen Lu Fa’s talent, haven’t you? A half-step Soul Forging expert at fourteen. As long as he continues to cultivate, I’m certain he’ll be the next Divine Craftsman. What he needs most now is time, time to focus without distractions,” Zhenhua said in a deep voice.

"Alright." Seeing Zhenhua's serious expression, Muye had no choice.

"President, this is the information you just asked me to collect." Just then, a staff member came up and handed over a document.

"Alright, old friend. Aren't you curious about what this is?" Zhenhua smiled as he picked up the documents in his hand, looking at the sulking Mu Ye.

"not interested."

"What if this is related to Lufa?"

Upon hearing this, Makino turned his gaze to the documents in Zhenhua's hand.

Seeing Mu Ye's expression, Zhenhua smiled and handed over the documents, then began to look through them himself. This was information he had just requested the association's staff to investigate.

Then, Zhenhua learned about Lu Fa's background: "Is he a descendant of soldiers? But he was fostered in an orphanage and doesn't receive any pension? It seems there are quite a few parasites in the Federation."

Zhenhua shook his head, feeling sorry for Lu Fa's parents. "He awakened his martial soul at the age of six, and was born with full soul power, but he didn't officially become a soul master until he was eight?"

Upon seeing this page of information, even Zhenhua was furious. A person with innate full soul power had actually caused him to waste two years of his cultivation time, just to earn money to buy soul spirits.

"What are the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda doing?" Shouldn't such a genius be reported immediately upon discovery and then given special attention for development?

"For unknown reasons, he became a disciple of the master craftsman Kong Xuan. He then studied at Tianhai Academy, where he and two other geniuses were known as the strongest generation. He is currently studying at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

After that, it was just some details about daily cultivation. After reading all of this, Zhenhua closed the document.

"Tch, the federal government is getting more and more corrupt. They can even overlook such a promising talent." Just then, Makino said disdainfully, his words full of dissatisfaction with the Federation.

"Sigh, that child has had a tough life, but perhaps it's precisely because of the hardships he's faced that he's grown up to be so outstanding," Zhenhua sighed. However, this only strengthened his resolve to poach the boy.

……

"Although we successfully made a name for ourselves in front of the master craftsman, we haven't done the metal testing yet," Nan Fusheng said to Lu Fa after returning to the Tiandou Grand Hotel.

"There's nothing I can do. If I go to the Blacksmith Association now, Zhenhua will probably stop me. Let's wait until we get back to Tianhai City to test the activated metal thing," Lu Fa said helplessly.

"Well, let's not delay, let's go to Tianhai City now. Perfect timing, I also need to call Shenwei and the others back." Nan Fusheng waved his hand, and a spatial passage formed behind him.

"Okay." Lu Fa nodded. Anyway, he had already done what he needed to do. As for going back to the academy? Sorry, it's holiday time now.

……

Tianhai City.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Nan Fusheng distributed the energy within the white orb to Lu Fa, Shen Wei, Fors, and Cai Xukun.

Now that he no longer needs to provide energy to the fifth soul spirit, he can finally allow these clones to cultivate in full.

Among them, Lufa, despite having only recently advanced, leveled up three more times, reaching level forty-seven. It can only be said that the Platinum Behemoth's capacity to absorb energy is truly terrifying.

Meanwhile, Shenwei also leveled up three times, reaching level forty-seven. In terms of absorbing energy, the Thunderclaw Dragon was clearly no match for the Behemoth bloodline.

As for Fors, this lazy bum always looked miserable and resentful. Because Nan Fusheng kept a close eye on her every day, not letting her slack off, her soul power level rose four levels in a row, reaching level forty-seven.

Cai Xukun has reached level 65. In terms of absorbing energy, the Kun martial soul is clearly no less powerful than Behemoth.

The main reason for such a significant improvement is that the life energy is too pure. This energy has been purified by the Time Worm, so it is extremely easy for Lu Fa and the others to absorb.

This was done with restraint, and only then were these levels increased.

Since Lu Fa and the others are still students, their cultivation level needs to be improved step by step.

"Phew, it worked." As the last piece of spirit-forged alloy merged into Cai Xukun's body, Lu Fa breathed a sigh of relief.

Cai Xukun already possessed a complete set of battle armor. So why did Lu Fa still do this?

This is all thanks to "Fusheng" brand metal. After returning to Tianhai City for testing, Lu Fa discovered that if Fusheng brand metal is used as the material during forging, the fusion degree of the forged product will reach 100%!

It's important to know that once the fusion rate reaches 60% or higher, new metals can be added. For every 5% increase, one more metal can be added, and at 90% or higher, up to eight metals can be added.

A fusion rate of 95% is sufficient to classify it as a divine-based metal. Currently, the highest fusion rate in the forging industry is only 99%.

As for 100% accuracy, even a master craftsman probably wouldn't dare say he could forge it.

However, "Fusheng" brand metal breaks this concept because during the forging process, it actively devours and fuses with other metals, thereby acquiring their abilities.

This alone makes its value immeasurable. If the forging industry knew about it, they would probably fight over this piece of metal like crazy.

Moreover, the battle armor made of "Fusheng" brand metal has a significantly higher amplification and compatibility.

After discovering the special properties of "Fusheng" brand metal, Nan Fusheng decided to equip all four of his clones with this metal.

Now, Lu Fa is forging new battle armor for the group, a set of battle armor with its own consciousness.

It took Lu Fa more than twenty days to complete the forging, most of which he spent cultivating.

After all, the "Fusheng" brand metal is highly reactive, and during the forging process, it was in sync with his mind. Even when forging the two-word battle armor for Cai Xukun, the battle armor came to life on its own without him having to actively remind it.

After completing the half-step soul forging, Lu Fa finally understood the difference between "Fusheng" brand metal and ordinary metal.

To give an analogy, when a blacksmith forges parts of battle armor, the metal refined through thousands of forgings is like a corpse.

Spirit-forged metals and spirit-infused alloys are like giving a corpse a breath. But it's still a corpse.

The Heavenly Forged Metal endowed this reborn corpse with a special ability. However, before that, it had to endure a lightning tribulation. Only after surviving it could it gain the ability.

Aside from lacking any special abilities, "Fusheng" metal is in no way inferior to Tianduan metal in terms of intelligence and activity. If one had to compare them, they would probably be like the weapon spirits in cultivation novels.

It can be used to forge battle armor. Even if the battle armor is damaged in the future, or if the owner of the battle armor falls into a coma, it can repair itself or come out to protect its owner.

"Judging by the time, it's almost time for school to start. You should all go." Nan Fusheng said to the three clones. Cai Xukun didn't need to go, since he wasn't a student.

"Yay!" Hearing this, no one was happier than Fors. Heaven knows how she'd spent the last twenty-odd days; every day was just cultivation, nothing but cultivation. For someone as lazy as her, this was practically torture.

"Hmm." Kamui and Lufa didn't seem to care.

“Then, it’s time to prepare for the promotion ceremony.” Nan Fusheng glanced at Lu Fa.

"Of course, I will send a challenge to Shrek Academy after I get back," Kamui said with a smile. He was already eager to test the power of his battle armor.

……

Shrek City.

One semester at Shrek Academy is equivalent to one year. After three semesters, students can advance to their second year.

With a few days left before the start of school, Nan Fusheng also shifted his focus to this area, taking the opportunity to catch up on recent developments.

Hmm, Tang Wulin has already broken through the fourth seal? And he even ran into Na'er? Ugh, that unlucky Xie Xie actually saw Yuanen Yehui taking a bath for the second time, and ended up getting beaten up.

Nan Fusheng's clone did not encounter Na'er. The reason he knew that Tang Wulin and Na'er recognized each other was simple: the two of them went to a barbecue restaurant owned by a certain Xiao Xing (clone), which is how he found out.

During their barbecue meal, the owner, surnamed Xiao, adhering to the philosophy that "lovers will eventually become siblings," went to great lengths to provide them with the best food and services. He even generously gave them a 10% discount.

However, Tang Wulin and Na'er, both big eaters, obviously didn't notice the difference. Instead, they praised his cooking as delicious and cheap, saying they would definitely come back to patronize his business next time.

"Tsk tsk tsk, deep affection is always hard to retain, but tricks always win people's hearts." Nan Fusheng clicked his tongue in amazement. That guy Xiao Huohuo has now taken over the barbecue restaurants around him with his cheap and delicious barbecue.

And this guy even has the idea of ​​opening a branch store. He has already raised the funds and is asking him for a few clones to help out.

"Let's help him. It'll also be a good opportunity to see what he's capable of." Nan Fusheng readily agreed to Xiao Huohuo's idea.

Considering the risk that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect might be destroyed in the future, Xiao Huohuo chose to open all the branches in the direction of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

As for Shrek Academy, only his barbecue restaurant remained.

……

Shrek Academy, inner courtyard.

At the heart of Poseidon Island stands a massive wooden house, built against a large tree. This is the core of Poseidon Island, the core of Shrek Academy, and even the core of the entire Shrek City.

Because this golden treehouse, built against a large tree, is the seat of the highest authority on Poseidon Island, the Poseidon Pavilion!

The true supreme controller of Shrek Academy is none other than the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. He is one of the few people in the world with the greatest power and influence. Even major decisions made by the Federation require the consultation of the Sea God Pavilion.

The reason is simple: strength!

The interior of the wooden house is simply furnished. Outsiders would never imagine that the Sea God Pavilion, known as the location of the most powerful force on the continent, would be so simple.

Eight people were already seated on either side of the long wooden table, plus one person in the main seat, making a total of nine people.

If Tang Wulin were here, he would be surprised to find that even his grandmaster, the Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi, could only sit in the fourth seat on the left.

Seated in the main seat was a young man who looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was handsome and had a gentle smile on his face.

However, everyone present, each a prominent figure at Shrek Academy, looked at him with utmost respect.

The Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li sat in the first seat on his right, while on the other side was an old man with a face like a silver basin and a tall stature.

Feng Wuyu was also there, sitting opposite the Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi. Elder Cai sat to the left of Feng Wuyu.
