Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 14 Huge Changes

The value of this ice crystal would increase several times over simply because of the near-perfect purification process before Gu You's eyes.

Another hour passed. Gu You didn't know how many times he had pounded it. Gradually, the booming sound of pounding disappeared. In front of him, the golden light shining inside the ice crystal was already dazzling. With each pounding collision, it seemed to breathe once, in sync with Gu You's breathing.

Gu You felt as if he were in a world of ice and snow. The soreness all over his body disappeared. However, the sun in the sky above this world was purple, and it was not so cold. Instead, his body felt warm.

Feng Wuyu's attention was entirely focused on the ice crystal, and he did not notice the changes in Gu You.

A purple light flashed deep in Gu You's eyes, and the speed at which he forged with the Life Essence Hammer in his hand began to increase. With each strike, the ice crystals seemed to let out a comfortable groan.

The ice crystals shrank again, by five percent... fifteen percent, until they reached the limit of density and stopped shrinking inward. With each of Gu You's subsequent hammer blows, the texture of the ice crystals became more reasonable.

That's the feeling of being refined a thousand times.

Feng Wuyu sniffed the scent, a look of enjoyment on his face.

As a master craftsman, Feng Wuyu naturally captured the perfect harmony between Gu You and Bingjing.

It's an indescribable feeling; only those who have personally forged it a thousand times can truly understand it.

This child is destined to be a master craftsman!

Feng Wuyu's biggest regret in life was not becoming a master craftsman, but he saw immense hope in this child. Perhaps witnessing this child's growth would also bring him great rewards.

Four hours...

Yun Ming was already standing outside the forge at some point. Ya Li missed Gu You, who had been studying for two days. She wanted to see if Gu You had made any progress. If he had, she would let him continue studying. If not, she would take him back to the Sea God Pavilion to cultivate there and keep Ya Li company. As for the second profession, she would put it on hold for now and choose it later.

Just then, he witnessed Gu You forging something. The wondrous rhythm and the symphonic sound of the hammering made Yun Ming pause for a moment.

This was the first time he had seen Gu You forging. Although he didn't know much about it, judging from Feng Wuyu's mesmerized gaze, it must be something extraordinary.

Without disturbing them, Yun Ming understood the importance of a blacksmith's focus when forging with complete concentration. The presence of Feng Wuyu was enough to demonstrate that Gu You had made a breakthrough in forging.

Five hours!

A feeling of utter exhaustion washed over Gu You once again, but he did not stop. In fact, the force of each hammer blow remained even, and his willpower sustained him as he continued his forging.

Success is just around the corner! Just a little longer, or all your previous efforts will have been in vain.

As Gu You silently chanted in his heart, at that very moment, the light of the ice crystals suddenly appeared, turning the entire forging room yellow.

Gu You struck again with his hammer, and instantly, the yellow light became even more intense.

Seeing the opportunity, Feng Wuyu lightly slashed Gu Youshou's hand with his condensed soul blade, and a spurt of blood sprayed out, landing right on the ice crystal.

The wild yellow light gradually faded, and Feng Wuyu turned off the furnace fire. Gu You collapsed to the ground, powerless, and Yun Ming quickly helped him up.

Hissing sounds emanated from the ice crystals from time to time, and after the high temperature subsided, the metal itself was revealed.

Before forging, its original azure color disappeared, and it looked very ordinary and unremarkable, except that the color was a bit gorgeous. But now, the azure color has turned into a light blue translucent color, with gold threads surrounding the inside and the surface is extremely smooth.

While both are forging, different ores present different levels of difficulty, divided into nine grades. For example, sunken silver, a deep-sea ore, has extremely high density and is very difficult to forge, yet its difficulty is only grade five. However, ice crystal is different; it is a solid grade seven difficulty, and even a grade four blacksmith would avoid it.

Actually, from the very beginning, Feng Wuyu didn't believe that Gu You could successfully refine ore a thousand times, because Gu You's first thousand-refined ore was only achieved by a series of coincidences. But now, only two words were in his mind: awesome!

"A thousand layers of satin? This is a thousand layers of brocade!" Feng Wuyu shouted frantically.

Yun Ming was continuously supplying soul power to Gu You when he heard the term "Thousand Satins." Even though he, the Sky-Supporting Douluo, couldn't forge, "Thousand Satins" represented a level three forging master. Level four was just a matter of grades, and he could definitely reach that level given time. A six-year-old quasi-level four forging master was a rare find in the entire history of humankind. He glanced at Feng Wuyu, then at the harmless Gu You.

"Old madman, what's going on?" Yun Ming lowered his eyebrows.

"Yun Ming! You've really taken in a good son. This boy's talent will surely make him a master craftsman in the future!!" Feng Wuyu continued to laugh loudly.

But in the short time it took to say those two sentences, the ice crystal ore emitted a faint white light that rushed into Gu You's mind and disappeared before Yun Ming's already stunned gaze.

"What just happened?" Yun Ming rubbed his eyes.

Feng Wuyu naturally noticed the situation just now as well. "It has temporarily gained intelligence under the blessing of life force, but it won't last long. Because it was mixed into his blood and entered Gu You's body, it can be summoned at any time."

Gu You and Yun Ming nodded in agreement, as if they were listening to some great tutorial.

"Sect Master, I want to talk to you about something." Feng Wuyu grabbed Yun Ming and disappeared without waiting for the Sea God Pavilion Master Yun to speak.

Gu You was naturally curious about what they had gone, but when he remembered that he still had a mineral inside him, he immediately calmed down.

Inside the Sea of ​​Spirit, Chicken King was still sound asleep when suddenly a crack was torn open, and a finger-sized rock instantly smashed into Chicken King's head, causing a bright red bump to rise instantly.

Chicken King woke up in a fit of rage, roaring, but when he saw that it was a mineral, he was at a loss. Where was the person who had hit him?

Just then, the phantom of Gu You appeared, and Ji Ji Ba had a target, rushing towards Gu You.

Gu You's mood improved considerably upon seeing the ice crystal, but upon turning around, his face instantly darkened. Chicken King was no longer as insignificant as before; after becoming a thousand-year-old spirit, its size and appearance had undergone a dramatic change, gradually acquiring the imposing stature of a sub-dragon. Standing four or five meters tall, it displayed the beauty of the dragon race. If it were a female dragon, its transformation should...

Before Gu You could think any further, Ji Ji Ba swallowed it whole.

In reality, when Gu You woke up, he was also speechless. This Tyrannosaurus Rex was too brutal. At least he knew where the ice crystal was and could just pick it up when he came back.
