Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

The transparent dragon's body was not completely used up, but there was very little left. It was still spherical, with white light flowing inside, but the color had faded considerably.

Chen Luo glanced at his Dragon Hand, then grasped the remaining body of the transparent dragon from a distance and headed straight for Flander and the others.

He was incredibly fast, almost teleporting, and arrived in front of Flanders and the others in the blink of an eye.

"Xiuyuan, try to devour it!" Chen Luo said.

Yu Xiuyuan immediately nodded: "Okay, teacher!"

Chapter 294 Gengxin City

Under the scorching sun, all sorts of strange spirit beasts lay prostrate at the edge of the oasis, not daring to move an inch.

In the center of the oasis, there were several figures, none other than Chen Luo and his group.

Yu Xiuyuan sat cross-legged on the ground, in a state of cultivation. His face was rather pale, as if he were enduring intense pain. The white snake beside him opened its mouth wide, continuously absorbing the remaining energy of the transparent giant dragon.

Chen Luo, Flander, and Ma Hongjun stood guard nearby. Ma Hongjun's gaze was fixed on Yu Xiuyuan, his face full of worry.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Hongjun finally couldn't help but look at Chen Luo and ask, "Master, Yuan Di should be safe absorbing this energy, right? He looks like he's in a lot of pain."

Chen Luo said, "This process is destined to be painful, but there will be no danger, so there's no need to worry too much."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun nodded slightly, finally feeling relieved. He knew that Chen Luo would definitely not harm Yu Xiuyuan; he just wanted a definite answer to put his mind at ease.

Chen Luo's gaze fell on Yu Xiuyuan. Yu Xiuyuan's condition was very stable, and his strength was steadily improving.

Most of the transparent dragon's energy was used to break the seal on the Dragon Hand, and there is very little left, but it is still an enormous amount for Yu Xiuyuan.

Absorbing this energy is obviously not an easy task; experiencing pain is inevitable if you want to grow quickly.

The reason he wouldn't encounter any danger was because Yu Xiuyuan only needed to absorb energy; his body's ability to withstand it was more than sufficient.

The consciousness of the transparent dragon has been completely erased by Chen Luo, and it will not pose any threat to Yu Xiuyuan.

As for why Chen Luo didn't let Ma Hongjun absorb the transparent dragon's energy as well, it's because energy isn't something you can just absorb whenever you want. Only those with the ability to devour or similar things can do it; otherwise, it will most likely do more harm than good.

"Old buddy, what was that all about? There's such a peculiar dragon, and it doesn't seem to be a soul beast, does it?" Flander asked.

Chen Luo said, "That's the soul of a dragon, so it's also an opportunity for me."

"The soul of a dragon?"

Flander was somewhat surprised, but he didn't ask any further questions. His gaze fell on Yu Xiuyuan: "It's also an opportunity for Xiuyuan."

Chen Luo nodded gently, and then they silently stayed by Yu Xiuyuan's side.

While waiting for Yu Xiuyuan to absorb the energy, Chen Luo also briefly sensed the changes in his own strength.

After the Dragon Hand was unsealed, it granted him some powerful strength. Although it did not help him directly break through his soul power level, it greatly increased his combat power.

He has now fully mastered the power of the Dragon Hand, and can easily defeat his opponents in close combat even without using his soul skills.

"This fallen dragon soul is indeed an extremely special existence, and I don't know how it was formed."

Chen Luo briefly reviewed the process of unsealing his Divine Dragon Hand, and was slightly curious about the transparent giant dragon, which was also a fallen dragon soul.

It took Yu Xiuyuan a full day and night to absorb the energy of the fallen dragon soul. He gained many benefits, the most significant of which was that his soul power level increased by three levels, and he is now at level fifty-five.

Besides the increase in soul power level, Yu Xiuyuan's white snake also seems to have become stronger.

The situation of the white snake transforming into a dragon did not occur. Evolving a martial soul is not so easy, unless one has a cheat code like Chen Luo.

Yu Xiuyuan's promotion made everyone happy.

After Yu Xiuyuan finished absorbing the energy, Chen Luo and his group no longer needed to stay in the oasis.

"What are your plans after this? Are you going straight back?" Flander asked.

Chen Luo said, "This place is quite close to Gengxin City, the metal capital. Why don't we go and take a look around?"

Flanders nodded: "Sure, it's rare to come all this way, so let's go for a look around."

"If your eldest disciple Tang San were here, he would definitely be very pleased. I estimate he would gain quite a bit in Gengxin City."

Chen Luo said, "Yes, Gengxin City must have a lot of special casting materials. When we get there, we can buy some suitable materials for Tang San."

Ma Hongjun asked curiously, "Teacher, Master, what kind of place is Gengxin City?"

Chen Luo said, "Gengxin City is also known as the Metal Capital. It can be said to be a city belonging to blacksmiths. It is full of steel and machinery, and has gathered many high-level blacksmiths and possesses many rare metal materials."

Ma Hongjun nodded slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation: "I wonder if there's anything good to eat there."

Flander laughed and said, "I probably won't have any good food, but we'll definitely have all sorts of metals. We'll have to try them sometime."

Ma Hongjun gave an awkward smile: "Let's forget about it."

Yu Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Brother Pang, there might be some local delicacies there. Shall we go look for them?"

Ma Hongjun smiled and nodded: "Okay, Brother Yuan!"

Having decided to go to Gengxin City, Chen Luo and his group did not linger in the oasis any longer, but set off immediately.

The desolate desert is not too far from Gengxin City, only half a day's journey, but if you set off from the center of the desert, it will take much longer than half a day.

In order to reach their destination faster, Chen Luo summoned his five-clawed golden dragon, and the group flew directly out of the desert, eventually arriving in Gengxin City in just one morning.

The walls of Gengxin City are entirely iron-gray, giving the impression that they were cast from metal. The buildings inside Gengxin City are also like this, and the entire city is filled with a metallic aura.

After entering Gengxin City, Ma Hongjun and Yu Xiuyuan went to find delicious food, while Chen Luo and Flander searched for rare metals that Tang San might need.

This city truly lives up to its reputation as a city for blacksmiths; the streets are lined with blacksmith shops.

The sound of hammering metal was incessant, accompanied by fluctuations of soul power.

After touring Gengxin City, Chen Luo and Flander bought a lot of metal. Although they were novices in the field of metalworking, they had relevant metal encyclopedias with them, so they didn't buy things haphazardly.

Chen Luo even remembered the names of some metal materials that Tang San had mentioned, and he basically bought them based on those names.

As for money, it's just numbers to both of them.

In the evening, Chen Luo, Flander, Ma Hongjun, and Yu Xiuyuan met at a restaurant, planning to have dinner, rest for the night, and then embark on their journey home.

Gengxin City does have some local delicacies, as can be seen from Ma Hongjun's satisfied face.

Dinner was also arranged by Ma Hongjun, who ordered quite a few dishes.

Compared to the delicious food, Chen Luo focused more on the people.

A short, stout old man walked into the restaurant, instantly catching Chen Luo's attention.

The old man was only about 1.6 meters tall, but his waist was probably also about 1.6 meters. He had protruding ears, small eyes, and a messy head of short hair that looked like it hadn't been washed in days. He was wearing a loose robe, and his chubby face was covered with some metallic powder-like stuff.

After the old man entered the restaurant, many people's eyes fell on him.

Chen Luo noticed that the people's gazes all carried respect...

Chapter 295 Liu Erlong is back

"Have you found out? What's their identity?"

Chen Luo looked at Flander, who had just returned, and asked him a question, though he already had the answer in his heart.

Flander said, "President of the Blacksmiths' Guild, Lou Gao."

Chen Luo nodded slightly upon hearing this. Just as he had expected, the short, stout old man was indeed Lou Gao.

They had seen it when they were eating at the restaurant, but it seemed like the building was high up and they were looking at someone, but they didn't actually see it and left the restaurant in less than five minutes.

To confirm that the other party was Lou Gao, Chen Luo asked Flander to inquire, and immediately received a positive answer, which confirmed his suspicions.

"Should we make contact?" Flander asked.

Chen Luo shook his head: "Let's forget it. After all, we know nothing about casting, and we won't be able to talk much even if we do meet."

Chen Luo originally intended to make contact with Lou Gao to pave the way for Tang San to do the same in the future, but after arriving in Gengxin City, he found that he could only buy some rare metal materials at most, and even if he found Lou Gao, he would hardly have anything to talk about.

Flander laughed and said, "Don't forget who you are now. You are a Title Douluo. Although Lou Gao is the president of the Blacksmith Association and is one of the best in forging, he is willing to befriend Title Douluo. You don't need any forging knowledge, just a simple greeting will suffice."

Chen Luo nodded slightly upon hearing this: "Okay, let's give it a try."

Chen Luo and Lou Gao's meeting went smoothly. They didn't talk much about casting knowledge, just chatted briefly.

Chen Luo told Lou Gao about Tang San's talent in forging and said that Tang San would visit him in the future, which deepened Lou Gao's impression of Tang San.

Chen Luo originally planned to show Tang San's hidden weapons to Lou Gao so that Lou Gao could study them, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. It would be better for Tang San to give these things to Lou Gao.

After a brief introduction to Lou Gao, Chen Luo had achieved his goal for this trip.

As it turns out, this world is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme, and being a Title Douluo is the best way to make friends.

Chen Luo didn't force Lou Gao to do anything; it was just a simple acquaintance, which Lou Gao was naturally happy to accept.

Titled Douluo are already very rare in this world, so I believe Lou Gao will have a deep impression of them.

Chen Luo had already spoken to Lou Gao, so Tang San could contact Lou Gao earlier in the future to manufacture Tang Sect hidden weapons more quickly. This would allow Tang San to have super-powerful hidden weapon equipment sooner, making his future path easier.

There's a saying that goes something like this: there are some things you may not need, but you can't be without them; having them gives you more confidence.

With Chen Luo's current strength, there is no need for him to have any further contact with someone like Lou Gao.

If Chen Luo hadn't come to the Wild Desert to unseal the Dragon Hand, and if the Wild Desert hadn't been so close to Gengxin City, he wouldn't have specifically come to find Lou Gao. He simply wanted to do something for his eldest disciple.

After making contact with Lou Gao, Chen Luo and his group embarked on their journey home.

The trip went very smoothly; the Dragon Hand was successfully unsealed, and Yu Xiuyuan gained tremendous benefits.

Flander and Ma Hongjun may have been just there for show, but they took the opportunity to experience more new things, and Ma Hongjun also got some practical training. Both of them gained something from it.

After the Dragon Hand was unsealed, Chen Luo's next target was the Dragon's Secret Realm.

Chen Luo wasn't particularly anxious about Bibi Dong's mention of searching for miracles, because there was no point in being anxious.

Both the City of Slaughter and Poseidon Island are places of divine miracles, but he was not destined to be associated with either.

Instead of blindly searching for other miracles, it's better to focus on maximizing your own strength first.

The stronger one is, the more opportunities one will have. If no god truly values ​​him, then he will try to become a god through his own strength.

a few days later.

Chen Luo and his friends returned to Shrek Academy.
