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

Chapter 172 Lin Yuhan's Admiration, Fatal Attack

Lin Yuhan's choice of Blue Pregnancy Copper naturally has its reasons.

After all, Lin Yuhan's natal forging hammer was a forging hammer made of Spirit Forged Blue Copper.

With the selection of the first metal, Zhao Tao and Lin Yuhan each began forging their own materials.

Jingle bells! Jingle bells!

With a series of crisp sounds, the two began the process of refining spirits through hundreds, thousands, and finally tens of thousands of refinements.

Lin Yuhan's forging technique is quite unique, as solid and powerful as a mountain. With each swing of the hammer, she also activates her martial spirit, releasing bolts of lightning that enter the metal for purification.

In contrast, Zhao Tao's forging technique appears very simple and unadorned. He simply swings the hammer silently, without any special effects, but each hammer blow hits the metal in the position that needs the most forging.

The contestants, Zhenhua and Chang Gongyan, stared at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

With the help of the Blue Copper Forging Hammer, Lin Yuhan completed the Spirit Forging in less than an hour.

However, when she withdrew from the forging process, she was surprised to find that Zhao Tao had already completed the spirit forging before her!

Furthermore, the forging Zhao Tao completed was not ordinary spirit forging, but the ultimate spirit forging technique – the Creation Spirit Forging!

This level of skill is so high that it can even be considered a level six blacksmith!

If Zhao Tao hadn't been unwilling to be too sensational and hadn't taken the exam, he would have already earned the medal of a Level 6 Blacksmith.

At this moment, Lin Yuhan's eyes were filled with disappointment. After all, blue-coated copper was the metal she was best at forging, and even her blue-coated copper forging hammer had an element of trickery.

However, despite all the favorable factors, she still lost, lost so thoroughly, and lost so convincingly.

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Zhao Tao carried a hint of respect, even admiration.

In the Star Luo Empire, strength is paramount. Given Zhao Tao's age and strength, coupled with his handsome appearance and charisma, he naturally won Lin Yuhan's favor.

Faced with such an obvious result, Chang Gongyan had no choice but to admit defeat, and a hint of dejection flashed in his eyes.

Soon after a ten-minute break, the second match began.

This time, it was Zhao Tao's turn to choose the metal, and he chose the metal he was most skilled at forging.

This time, Zhao Tao did not perform the Creation Spirit Forging again, but instead performed the Evil Spirit Forging, another top-tier spirit forging technique.

In contrast, Lin Yuhan, facing an unfamiliar metal, only barely managed to complete the spirit forging, and her speed was much slower than Zhao Tao's.

"We lost, and we accept our defeat. We are willing to join the Blacksmith Association of the Sun and Moon Federation."

At this moment, the difference in strength was immediately apparent. Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan had no choice but to obediently admit defeat, bow their heads, and submit.

At this moment, Lin Yuhan's eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Zhao Tao, completely captivated by his strength and charm.

"Welcome. Your disciple is quite skilled. If it weren't for my nephew's help, we would never have found another blacksmith of the same age who could surpass her."

"If there is an opportunity in the future, you are welcome to send people here to exchange forging-related technologies."

With a slight smile, Zhenhua shook hands with Chang Gongyan, his tone calm and without the arrogance of a victor, which made Chang Gongyan feel uneasy.

However, at that moment, a scarlet light suddenly pierced through the air, carrying an extremely cold aura and an incomparably terrifying momentum, heading straight for Zhenhua's heart.

This attack was extremely fast and sudden. Even Zhenhua, a titled Douluo, did not sense or notice it, and had no time to summon his four-word battle armor.

"My life is over!"

However, just when Zhenhua thought he was doomed, Muye, who was standing about five meters away from him, made his move. Relying on his powerful golden body, he easily blocked the attack and then turned around to summon a god-level mecha to begin apprehending the murderer who had turned into a streak of blood and fled.

As for the blacksmiths from the other blacksmith associations, they surrounded Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan, their emotions running high, claiming they were assassins and demanding they be brought to justice.

Faced with this, Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan turned pale and couldn't explain. On the other hand, Zhenhua, who had recovered his senses, said that as a fellow blacksmith, he believed that Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan were not assassins and that this was probably a misunderstanding.

However, out of caution, he still had to temporarily restrict their freedom. Once the truth was clear, he asked them to stay at the Blacksmith Association and not to go out. Both Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan breathed a sigh of relief at this result.

Thus, the assassination attempt came to an end. However, Makino, who had gone to track down the attacker, returned with a grim face and told Zhenhua that he had failed to find the murderer.

Upon hearing this news, both Zhenhua and Muchen's expressions darkened!

That attacker was at least a Title Douluo, or even a Super Douluo. If he was eyeing things covetously, Zhenhua would probably have to be extremely careful when traveling in the future!

"Uncle-Master, Senior Muye, do you think it's possible that the attacker was an evil spirit master?"

Just then, Zhao Tao, who knew the truth, smiled slightly and offered his opinion.

"Nephew, you're right, it's quite possible! Recently, evil soul masters have become increasingly rampant, causing a lot of chaos. I am a divine craftsman; if I die, the forging world and even the soul master world will be thrown into chaos, which suits their wishes perfectly!"

Upon hearing Zhao Tao's words, Zhenhua nodded as if he understood, and then spoke.

"Yes, when I was chasing that Soul Master, I also felt that his aura was very cold and sinister, not that of a normal Soul Master."

"It seems that the two blacksmiths from the Star Luo Empire are also innocent. Let's symbolically detain them for two days to curb their arrogance, and then release them."

Upon hearing this, Zhenhua added.

"Yes, that's right."

"By the way, Zhao Tao, you defeated the blacksmiths of the Star Luo Empire for our Blacksmiths Association this time, greatly saving face for us. I want to reward you handsomely!"

"I wonder if you need any resources?"

Just then, Zhenhua looked at Zhao Tao, his eyes full of admiration, and spoke.

"Uncle-Master, my Martial Soul, the Spring and Autumn Cicada, can evolve, but it requires a large amount of Time Sand. Could you perhaps reward me with some Time Sand?"

Upon hearing Zhenhua's words, Zhao Tao spoke up.

"No problem, the Blacksmith Association has plenty of these in their warehouse. I'll take you there now; I also want to see an evolving Martial Soul!"

Since they were all family, Zhenhua readily agreed to Zhao Tao's request and led him to the blacksmiths' association's warehouse.
