Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 78 Old Tang Sleeps, Forging Begins

"Terrorist attack?" Xu Yuan's expression was strange.

He asked for more details, but Director Long only said that he knew of five dark golden rays attacking.

"When Teacher Wu told us, that was all the description we got. Oh, right, there were powerful experts from the Haotian Sect on that Soul Guidance Train at the time. They stepped in in time to stop the attack of the five dark golden lights, but the aftershocks of the collision still damaged the Soul Guidance Train."

Director Long doesn't know much either.

However, Xu Yuan was able to guess a lot from just these two characteristics he mentioned.

"How are the people in Class Zero doing?" he asked casually.

"Wu Lin is in better health, having withstood the energy fluctuations at the time. Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyan will probably need ten to fifteen days to recover. Fortunately, Gu Yue didn't accompany us this time, so she wasn't affected and has now returned to Donghai City." Director Long wiped his forehead, sighing deeply.

Fortunately, all the promising young talents that these academies have invested so much effort in are fine.

Xu Yuan's lips twitched.

fortunately?

Goodness, I guess Xiong Jun only dared to make a move because Gu Yue wasn't up there.

The dark golden light immediately brought to mind Xu Yuan's immediate thought after his battle with the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear. With the Haotian Sect members protecting him and Gu Yue not on the train, Xu Yuan was 98% certain that it was Xiong Jun who had made the move.

Others might not know why the powerful figures from the Haotian Sect happened to be present, but Xu Yuan was certain that these Haotian Sect members were there to protect Tang Wulin.

"Could it be that the Clear Sky Sect sent people to protect Tang Wulin from beginning to end in the original story? Or did they send people in the early stages, only to withdraw after Tang Wulin entered Shrek Academy?" Although Xu Yuan had guessed it, he still had many doubts in his heart.

Since the main group of Class Zero had not yet returned, Xu Yuan decided to stay at Donghai Academy for the time being.

In the past two days, he has been familiarizing himself with the Dark Gold Terror Claw in reality and tempering it with his blood and qi. After entering the dream space, he has been theoretically deduce the specific plan on how to integrate the Dark Gold Terror Claw into the Heavenly Origin Five Elements Spear.

On the third day after arriving at Donghai Academy, Xu Yuan finally saw the return of Class Zero.

"Brother Xu Yuan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This time—"

"I know, Director Long told me everything." Xu Yuan waved his hand. "It's already very good that you were able to return safely."

Looking at Tang Wulin, Xu Yuan inexplicably recalled a joke from his past life: the train assassin.

I just didn't expect that this title would be released ahead of schedule.

"You guys should rest for a few days first. I also have some things I haven't figured out yet." Xu Yuan wasn't in a hurry to have Tang Wulin 'forge' him.

His initial idea was to use the crushing effect of the Golden Dragon Claw to help him completely integrate the Dark Gold Terror Claw into his blood and qi, thereby fusing it into the Five Elements Spear Spirit.

However, he still needs to make some detailed plans, so it's impossible for him to start right away.

We've already done some calculations in the past two days, and now there are still a few days left.

"Of course, if you have any questions about the Fusion Technique these past few days, you can ask me. It's actually not that difficult to practice."

"Thank you so much, Brother Xu," Tang Wulin said with delight.

Old Tang hadn't appeared for a long time before Tang Wulin left Tianhai City, and no matter how much he called out, he got no response. He hadn't even given any advance notice beforehand, which left Tang Wulin feeling helpless.

Now that Xu Yuan, the creator of the Fusion Secret Technique, is personally guiding him, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

There was no way around it; the fusion technique was a huge, densely packed mass, and it looked incredibly complicated.

"You're welcome."

The greatest reward for me would be if you could learn and master the Fusion Technique as soon as possible.

Xu Yuan conservatively estimated that after Tang Wulin successfully performed the fusion technique, Old Tang would definitely be in a deep sleep in about ten days.

brainwashing?

That won't work.

That was just Xu Yuan's ideal scenario at the time, nothing more than empty talk. In fact, he knew in his heart that the success rate was not high. At most, he would just casually instill some normal values ​​and ideas in Tang Wulin.

Putting Old Tang into a deep sleep was mainly to prevent Tang Wulin from doing anything to him during their future interactions.

With the guidance of Xu Yuan, the pioneer, Tang Wulin will soon master the key to the Fusion Secret Technique.

On the night he attempted to perform the secret technique, Old Tang briefly woke up to protect him.

"Alas, the extent of the seal's fluctuations is greater than I expected. Xu Yuan is truly terrifying. Although the fusion technique he developed is still very crude, it gets straight to the essence. His Devouring Heaven and Earth Technique must also be extraordinary. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must obtain this ultimate skill. Its effect on you may be beyond your imagination."

After giving his final instructions, Old Tang fell into a deep sleep, and the blue-gold light merged into the seventeen chains below.

A message appeared deep within Tang Wulin's consciousness; it contained information about the spiritual objects he would need for the next few seals.

In the future, if Tang Wulin wants to see Old Tang, he can only do so after breaking through the seal and at the moment the seal breaks, by unlocking the weak power of Old Tang within the seal. Old Tang can then briefly protect him as he merges with the seal.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

By observing Tang Wulin's emotions, Xu Yuan deduced the state of Old Tang's slumber.

"Wu Lin, we might have to rely on you from now on," Xu Yuan said to Tang Wu Lin.

Although Xu Yuan had many schemes, they were all for his own benefit. There was no way around it; the old Tang Wulin was just too unsettling.

If we really want to talk about how Xu Yuan treated Tang Wulin, we can only say that he was the best among strangers.

Ultimately, the Fusion Technique can indeed minimize the danger of Tang Wulin undergoing the seal in the early stages.

As for how their relationship will develop in the future, Xu Yuan has a clear conscience right now.

"Brother Xu, are you sure this will really work?" Tang Wulin asked with a doubtful expression.

"Why not? You need to understand that forging is a concept, not the concrete act of hammering iron. If you want to truly become a master craftsman in forging, you can't limit your forging goals to metal."

Xu Yuan is right, but it's too difficult to truly achieve that in the world of Douluo.

"Come on, try out your Golden Dragon Claw's crushing effect first."

Sharp, dark golden light emanated from the five fingers of Xu Yuan's right hand, and the phantom of a dark golden dinosaur claw appeared on his entire right hand.

"Brother Xu, be careful." Tang Wulin's right hand transformed into a golden dragon claw and slammed down.

At the same time, Xu Yuan activated his Substitute Technique and met the attack with his Dark Gold Terror Claw.

boom!

Xu Yuan did not use his full strength; the strength of both sides was roughly the same.

After this attack, both of them took a step back and stopped.

"Again!" Xu Yuan shouted.

He felt the change in his right metacarpal bone; the crushing effect wasn't very strong, but it was just right.

This change is similar to the extent to which each hammer blow alters the interior of the metal during forging.

Xu Yuan's consciousness was partially immersed in the dream space, frantically deducing the direction in which he would be hit by the golden dragon claw each time.

He mobilized his own vital energy, and the Five Elements Spear Spirit merged into his vital energy, dividing into five forces, each representing one of the five elements, which were then integrated into his five fingertips.

Happy May Day!
