Douluo Dragon King: Martial Soul Spring and Autumn Cicada, Lord of Time

Chapter 171 The Emergency Rescue Trip: First Encounter with Zhenhua and Muye

"Your Majesty Silver Moon, Master Mu Chen, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Elder Cai and Mu Chen approaching hand in hand, Wu Changkong and Shen Yi immediately stopped their lesson, bowed respectfully, and inquired.

"Yes, I'm here to announce the Sea God Pavilion's decision."

"A delegation from the Star Luo Empire has arrived in our Sun Moon Federation for a visit."

"At the same time, they also decided to invite a team of young Federation Soul Masters under the age of twenty to join the delegation and visit the Star Luo Continent."

"In response to this matter, the Federation has decided to send students from our Shrek Academy as young students on the visit."

"Among the students, the first-year, second-year, and third-year students all meet the standards. The academy has decided that the first-year and second-year students will form a team to have a friendly match with the third-year students. The winner will have the opportunity to visit the Star Luo Empire."

"At the same time, the academy will also give a large reward to the students who go on the trip, including but not limited to contribution points, bonus points for promotion to the inner academy, and the opportunity to forge subsequent battle armor."

Looking at the students, Mr. Cai slowly announced the news.

Upon hearing Elder Cai's words, the students instantly erupted in chaos, except for Zhao Tao, who, as a transmigrator and a reincarnated individual, remained remarkably calm, having already known the news for some time.

"By the way, Changkong, I've asked for two days off for Zhao Tao. Zhao Tao, come with me."

Just then, Mr. Cai continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty Silver Moon."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tao stood up and followed Mr. Cai and Mu Chen out of the classroom.

"Zhao Tao, from the Blacksmiths Association of the Star Luo Empire, has come to Tian Dou City to challenge them."

"The Association has decided to send you into battle to severely dampen the Star Luo Empire's spirit!"

"Also, my senior brother Zhenhua, the master craftsman Zhenhua, wants to meet you. Alright, come with me."

Looking at Zhao Tao in front of him, Mu Chen explained his purpose.

"Understood, I will definitely do my best!"

Zhao Tao nodded upon hearing Mu Chen's words.

Before his rebirth, this task was completed by Tang Wulin, but now, it's his turn.

All I can say is that the flapping of a butterfly's wings has already begun to stir up huge waves, and will surely unleash an even bigger tsunami!

"Alright, time is of the essence, let's go!"

With a slight smile, Mu Chen led Zhao Tao to the Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Train Station and headed towards Heaven Dou City.

Time flies, and several hours have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Soul Guidance Train slowly came to a stop at the Soul Guidance Train Station in Heaven Dou City.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Chen led Zhao Tao to the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City, and then to the top floor, which was the office of the master craftsman Zhenhua.

Upon entering the office, two middle-aged men came into view.

One of them was a middle-aged man with dark eyes, his eyes filled with vicissitudes, and his temples were slightly gray, making him look much older than his age.

As for his hands, they were much larger than those of ordinary people, and were like jade, which was very special. He was Zhenhua, the only divine craftsman in the Douluo Continent at present.

Beside him was an elderly man dressed in a retro black robe, who looked very energetic and had muscles all over his body.

Without a doubt, it was Mu Ye, the current sect leader of the Body Sect and a god-level mecha pilot.

"Senior brother, I've brought Zhao Tao with me. Zhao Tao, this is Zhen Hua, the president of the Blacksmith Association, and also your senior uncle."

"As for this one, it is Senior Makino, a close friend of the president who has shared life and death with him, and also a titled Douluo powerhouse."

As Mu Chen led Zhao Tao into the office, he took the initiative to introduce them.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle! Greetings, Senior Makino!"

Upon seeing the two people in front of him, Zhao Tao quickly took the initiative to greet them.

"Hmm, as expected of the youngest Grandmaster in the entire Blacksmiths' Association, he is indeed a young talent and a man of exceptional appearance!"

Looking at Zhao Tao before him, Mu Ye smiled and nodded with admiration, then said, "Mu Chen and I are fellow disciples, we're family. If you encounter any problems when you try Soul Forging or even learn Heaven Forging in the future, you can come to me for guidance!"

"Thank you, Martial Uncle! When will we begin competing against the blacksmiths of the Star Luo Empire?"

Looking at Zhenhua in front of him, Zhao Tao bowed and then said.

"You must be exhausted from your long journey. Have lunch first, get some rest, and replenish your energy before continuing the battle this afternoon!"

Hearing Zhao Tao's words, Mu Chen smiled slightly. Then, Mu Ye also came to the small kitchen and prepared a series of precious ingredients, including eight kinds of precious ingredients such as fairy mushrooms, red jade shrimp, and Tianyuan scallops.

After finishing Mu Ye's meal, Zhao Tao felt all the turbid energy in his body being expelled and the pure energy rising. Even the soul power in his body became more concentrated, and his cultivation became more stable, bringing him one step closer to condensation and mixing.

"Good, very good! This young man can eat so much; he's definitely got potential!"

Watching Zhao Tao finish eating so many precious ingredients without changing his expression, a hint of appreciation flashed in Mu Ye's eyes.

However, Zhao Tao was neither a true martial spirit nor did he possess any bloodline, so he didn't have any intention of taking him as a disciple; he simply admired him.

After lunch, it was time for the official forging duel.

At this moment, Zhao Tao met the visitors from the Star Luo Empire, one old and one young.

The elderly man among them was about seventy years old, tall with broad arms and deep eyes. He was none other than Chang Gongyan, the vice president of the Star Luo Empire Blacksmith Association.

Beside him was a beautiful blonde girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. She was lovely, tall and slender, with long and delicate hands. She was Lin Yuhan, a fifth-level blacksmith from the Star Luo Empire and a disciple of Chang Gongyan.

As for the rules of the competition, they are very simple: Lin Yuhan will choose a metal and the two of them will forge it separately; then Zhao Tao will choose a metal and the two of them will forge it again.

And it will be judged based on the overall level of the two forging processes.

"Junior Nephew Zhao Tao, this battle concerns the reputation of our Sun Moon Federation Forging Masters Association. Are you confident?"

""

Looking at Zhao Tao in front of him, Mu Chen spoke slowly.

"Uncle-Master, don't worry, I'm here!"

Hearing Mu Chen's words, Zhao Tao smiled slightly.

After breaking through to the Soul King level, with his true forging skills as a Heavenly Forging Master, he was fully capable of performing Soul Forging, but he simply hadn't yet demonstrated the corresponding level, nor did he have the need to.

Although Lin Yuhan is also an excellent blacksmith, in the Sun Moon Federation, apart from himself, even Tang Wulin, due to his intentional suppression, is far inferior to her.

However, compared to Zhao Tao, her skill level was still not up to par!

Just then, Lin Yuhan took the lead in choosing a metal forged by both sides—blue-impregnated copper!
