Douluo Dragon King: I'm creating a golden age behind the scenes!

The next day.

Li Ziming got up early in the morning and was woken up by Mu Ye. He went downstairs to gather. After the guards that Zhen Hua had prepared for him gathered, he followed Mu Ye to the competition venue after Mu Ye appeared.

Although Li Ziming knew that after he revealed his forging skills had reached the eighth level in the Tianhai Grand Competition yesterday, the major forces would definitely send high-ranking officials to test and win him over, he still underestimated the cunning of those old foxes. He didn't expect them to be so troublesome, leaving him no time to recover from the damage caused by forging.

Therefore, on the way to the Tianhai Grand Competition, Li Ziming couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing this, Mu Ye couldn't help but tease, "What's wrong? Didn't our eight-star master craftsman get enough rest?"

"Uncle Mu, please stop teasing me. Who knew those old foxes would be so difficult to deal with? They kept repeating the same old things and even offered to introduce me to someone. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to leave right now."

"Haha, young man, you've brought this trouble upon yourself, so you have to bear it, even if you cry. But those girls they introduced you to seem pretty good, don't you want to consider them?"

"Forget it, everyone knows what they're up to. They're practically throwing those abacus beads at my face. I'm not that stupid," Li Ziming said, pursing his lips.

Makino nodded and said approvingly, "Yeah, you're not bad, you haven't gotten cocky."

"Let's not talk about that. Uncle Mu, aren't you going to take on a disciple? Why don't you go find that Zuo Qiulun? Don't let someone else snatch him away in the end."

"Don't worry, I've arranged for a disciple to keep an eye on things there. No matter how anxious I am, I still need to check the child's strength and background."

Besides, how could I, the dignified Sect Master of the Body Sect, a peerless expert who can sit at the same table as the Hall Master of the War God Hall, go out of my way to take on disciples? How undignified would that be!

"After this kid finishes his match, I'll show him my skills. Then he'll bow down in reverence, and that'll become a legendary tale. Hahahaha!" Makino said, bursting into laughter.

"Fine, whatever makes you happy."

Soon, the group arrived at the competition venue.

Today is the semi-final of the individual competition of the Tianhai University. Thanks to Li Ziming's star effect, the popularity of the Tianhai University has been boosted once again. Faculty, students and spectators from various colleges in the stadium are waiting with great enthusiasm for the appearance of the first finalist.

"Dear viewers, this is the venue for the Tianhai Grand Competition. After several days of fierce competition, the individual competition is nearing its end. The four finalists are here..."

They are Zhou Mingyu, a peerless genius from the Tianhai Spirit Pagoda.

Zuo Qiulun, a fighter with a mysterious background and extraordinary combat power,

Also present were Lie Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and Qian Gu Fengjin from the Qian Gu Family, both young Soul Kings.

The competition is about to begin, and Zuo Qiulun is scheduled to play in the first round, making him the first of the four participants in the individual competition to start.

His opponent was Lie Hongchen, a five-ring Soul King with the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, who was also said to be a level five Soul Master.

"Kid, do you think he can win this match?" Mu Ye asked Li Ziming beside him, looking at the two on the stage.

"Don't worry, he'll definitely win."

Looking at Zuo Qiulun standing silently on the stage, he couldn't help but think of how much effort they had put into creating this clone of Zuo Qiulun.

When Liu Tianran was constructing his fourth clone, Zuo Qiulun, there was a question that he pondered for a long time: what kind of martial soul should he give him?

He had considered giving him a top-tier weapon spirit, like the previous ones, but he felt it would be a waste of this opportunity.

After all, he already possessed two top-tier elemental weapon spirits with combat attributes, Li Ziming and Zhou Mingyu, and Xie Jiayun, a healing spirit master with the top-tier life attribute spirit "Tree of Life."

He didn't plan to arrange a support-type Soul Master clone at this time. After all, as a support-type Soul Master himself, he knew that even if a support-type Soul Master was very talented, it would be difficult for them to receive attention and dedicated training from higher-ups during the early development stage in those major forces.

After all, the requirements for successors of most powerful forces are that they be heirs with combat power capable of supporting the future of the force. Even if a support-type Soul Master is outstanding and receives training and attention, at most they will be placed next to the heir of the force, "accompanying the prince in his studies," and will be trained as a second-in-command.

A Soul Master faction like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is dominated by support-type Soul Masters, is an absolute anomaly.

It's less of a sect and more of an alliance of multiple families centered around the Ning family.

The reason it has been able to continue to this day is due to the powerful amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, the strong support of the sect's offerings recruited by the sect leader over the past ten thousand years, and the lingering aura of Ning Rongrong and her husband becoming gods twenty thousand years ago.

However, with the disappearance of the divine realm and the emergence of battle armor in recent years,

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master's status and prestige have severely declined due to the limitation of only being able to cultivate to the seventh ring, compared to the superior amplification effects of other support martial soul soul masters wearing four-word battle armor.

Moreover, it's very difficult for outsiders to rise to the core leadership of a powerful family. Therefore, Liu Tianran abandoned this idea, at least for now.

However, if Liu Tianran were to assign clones with the same roles as them, it would be a loss for him, as his resource reserves were just beginning to be developed.

Finally, in order to solve this problem, Liu Tianran had no choice but to start searching through the biographies and records of the strong in Douluo Continent to see if he could find a suitable martial soul for his fourth clone.

However, while browsing through the materials, Liu Tianran discovered a phenomenon: during the first and second periods of the Dou Di Zhuan, most of the powerful figures on the continent were Beast Martial Soul Masters. But since the emergence of Soul Spirits ten thousand years ago, Soul Masters have had a higher demand for spiritual power. As Soul Masters' research has deepened, the proportion of powerful figures with Weapon Martial Souls has begun to rise rapidly.

Taking advantage of the development of spiritual power cultivation methods, powerful spiritual realm cultivators began to emerge, and powerful artifact soul masters also developed their own artifact soul realms and domains, increasing their combat power. As a result, the proportion of artifact soul masters among the powerful also increased.

In the last few thousand years, the emergence of battle armor has provided a boost to Soul Masters, compensating for the weakness of their physical bodies, resulting in an explosive increase in their proportion among the strong.

However, in this evolutionary process, there is a very special type of spirit master: the Body Spirit Spirit Master. Before the emergence of spirit spirits, the Body Sect had already begun to study the use of physical body and spiritual power. Even Huo Yuhao's research on spiritual power was based on at least half of the achievements of the Body Sect.

This allows the original martial soul to adapt very well to the benefits brought about by the changes of the times. Moreover, their use of qi and blood, spiritual power, and physical body is the most professional. This is exactly what Liu Tianran needs. His clones do not lack qi and blood, but they lack a way to fully utilize this advantage.

However, due to the damage and seclusion of the Body Sect in the previous version, coupled with the difficulty in inheriting the Body Martial Soul, it has shown a slight decline, but it is still terrifyingly strong.

In this version, they are not suppressed by the Dragon King bloodline. Although they are not considered T0 in this version, they have never fallen out of T1.

Flowing water does not compete for the first place, the contention is endless.

The only limitation for a Soul Master is whether their own blood and spiritual power can meet the standard. Mu Ye is an example. Because he was obsessed with mecha and spiritual power, he was unable to break through to the Super Douluo level for a long time, but his combat power could still reach the level of Limit Douluo.

But for Liu Tianran, this was the simplest thing.

Therefore, Liu Tianran directly boosted Zuo Qiulun's blood and spirit to an extraordinary level, and fused a piece of Heaven-Forged Metal into his body, striving to create a Soul Master with no weaknesses, so that the world could see if his power had ever weakened.
