Assassination

Long Yuan was already sitting on the ground, recovering his Soul Power and physical strength.

Lin Yuhan looked at him with a complicated expression; she had lost completely.

She was Fifth-Level Forging Master, and she had always known that she was a blacksmithing genius. She never believed that anyone of her age could surpass her.

Long Yuan defeated her twice, both times by Genesis Spiritual Forging.

It is clear that Long Yuan's blacksmithing level has reached the Saint Craftsman level.

However, she found it hard to believe that Long Yuan, who was younger than her, could possibly have reached the level of Saint Craftsman.

No one had ever defeated her, but today, Long Yuan defeated her.

Lin Yuhan felt a strong sense of defeat, and her beautiful eyes welled up with tears.

She lost, utterly and completely.

We know there are always people more capable than us, and there's always something beyond our understanding.

But this feeling is very unpleasant.

Upon witnessing this outcome, Chang Gongyan stood frozen in place, speechless for a moment.

At this point in the game, the outcome is already decided.

We lost!

Chang Gongyan sighed, bowed to Zhen Hua, clasped his hands in greeting, and gave a bitter smile.

"Your disciple is outstanding. In fact, if I hadn't called Long Yuan here, I really couldn't find another young talent here who could compare with your disciple."

Welcome to the Forging Masters Association! You'll have plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas and skills with them in the future!

However, you won't be forced to join if you don't want to.

Zhen Hua said with a smile.

Suddenly, without any warning, a crimson light shot out from Chang Gongyan's neck and landed in front of Zhen Hua in an instant.

Zhen Hua's eyes widened, and he inwardly cried out in alarm.

Just then, a silver light flashed almost simultaneously, Zhen Hua disappeared from his spot.

That flash of scarlet light shot into the crowd.

Even Four-Word Battle Armor Master, a legendary Divine Craftsman, felt his Life Goddess was threatened. If he fell into a crowd, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But just then, a large hand appeared and grabbed that little bit of scarlet.

The person who made the move was Mu Ye, Zhen Hua's chef.

A rapier appeared in his hand, its color crimson.

After seizing the rapier, he snorted coldly and disappeared again to pursue the enemy.

A blinding red light burst forth from Zhen Hua's body, his Four-Word Battle Armor covering his entire body, and a powerful aura of pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall.

"Don't move!"

Zhen Hua roared, his powerful aura enveloping Chang Gongyan.

This was definitely a premeditated assassination attempt. If he hadn't reacted quickly, the scarlet rapier would have pierced his neck.

Moreover, the reason he was able to avoid it just now was also related to Gu Yue.

In a flash, Gu Yue used his spatial teleportation skill to make Zhen Hua disappear from the spot.

The person who made the move is very good at hiding, and is at least a Super Douluo of level 95 or above.

All the blacksmiths crouched down under immense pressure, refusing to make any rash moves.

Chang Gongyan shielded Lin Yuhan behind him, and eight Soul Ring rose up, swirling around his body: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black.

The Eight-Ring Soul Douluo nearly lost his footing under Zhen Hua's overwhelming pressure.

"President Zhen Hua!"

Chang Gongyan shouted loudly and released his Two-Word Battle Armor.

Zhen Hua slightly reduced his aura and descended from the sky.

"Kill them!"

The surrounding blacksmiths showed angry expressions. Zhen Hua was the only Divine Craftsman in the Douluo Continent. Without him, there would be no Four-Word Battle Armor Master.

Once Zhen Hua dies, it will be difficult for another Four-Word Battle Armor Master to appear in the future, unless another Divine Craftsman emerges.

Zhen Hua is a key figure in the forging industry; his status, position, and role are extremely important.

It can be said that all blacksmiths have benefited from him.

If anyone on the scene had that kind of strength, they would have rushed out immediately and slapped Chang Gongyan to death.

"You must be a blacksmith from another continent!"

Zhen Hua's cold voice rang out.

As we all know, the Douluo World today consists of three continents: Star Luo Continent, Tian Dou Continent, and Douluo Continent.

The two continents in front have always been hostile to the Douluo Continent, and they are always fighting each other openly and secretly.

If it weren't for the vast ocean separating them, wars would definitely be a frequent occurrence.

The people who most want Zhen Hua dead are definitely the rulers of the other two continents.

"It wasn't us!"

Lin Yuhan's face was deathly pale as she peeked out from behind Chang Gongyan.

"Who else could it be but you?"

A blacksmith roared, "The facts are right in front of you, are you still going to argue?" "Follow me!"

Zhen Hua waved his right hand at Long Yuan and Gu Yue, and a red light swept them up.

Chang Gongyan and Lin Yuhan followed closely behind, heading towards Zhen Hua's office.

"You trust us?"

Inside the office, Chang Gongyan's face showed a hint of doubt. Shouldn't he have just killed them outright? "Tell me, how did you get here, and why are you challenging me?"

Zhen Hua did not answer Chang Gongyan's question directly, but asked in a deep voice.

Long Yuan and Gu Yue stood behind Zhen Hua, still feeling lingering fear.

That sword strike was truly terrifying, containing the power of a primordial beast.

If this happened to Zhen Hua, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Long Yuan recalled the scene of the chef catching the thin sword with his bare hands. He vaguely saw that the chef's palm had turned golden.

Chang Gongyan smiled wryly; at this point, he dared not hide anything.

"You guessed right, we are from the Star Luo Continent. I am the vice President of the Star Luo Continent Forging Masters Association! President Zhen Hua should know that with the development of Soul Guidance Technology, the hatred we once had is not as intense as it used to be."

This time, we came to the Douluo Continent as part of a delegation for research, and we were invited by the official Douluo Continent.

As a blacksmith, I have long admired your name, so I brought Lin Yuhan to challenge the younger generation of the Forging Masters Association.

We truly don't know who assassinated you; believe it or not!

Chang Gongyan sighed, saying that he had been used by the representatives of his colleagues.

"I bear some responsibility for being used by them, but Yuhan is innocent. She is a rare genius in the forging world. I am willing to accept any punishment. Can you please let her go?"

Zhen Hua smiled calmly, "After this incident, you can't leave just because you want to. Can you tell me who instigated you to come here?"

Chang Gongyan smiled bitterly, "When I came here, I met a Saint Craftsman- level blacksmith named Ning Fengzhi, or perhaps that's not his real name. I narrowly defeated him in our sparring match, and he said that although you are such an excellent Divine Craftsman, the blacksmithing world has no successors..."

After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhen Hua looked puzzled. Who was Ning Fengzhi? He didn't know; it might really be an alias.

However, he could not completely trust Chang Gongyan.

"Brother Chang Gong, please stay as guests for now. I will investigate the matter thoroughly!"

Chang Gongyan was taken aback. "You believe me?"

Zhen Hua smiled slightly, "I only trust my intuition!"

His intuition told him that these two really were just here to challenge the Forging Masters Association and see the strength of the younger generation.

It's obvious that they were being used.

Just then, the chef, Uncle Mu Ye, walked in.

"How?"

Zhen Hua looked at Mu Ye and asked.

"His speed is too fast! He's a rare Agility Attack System Super Douluo. I couldn't catch up!"
