Breaking Shrek's Undefeated Myth, Old Duan Invites Again (Third Update)
"Stop!"
The referee promptly declared a stoppage in the match, and Long Yuan emerged victorious.
After a brief silence in the stands, thunderous applause erupted.
"Shrek Academy, so it turns out they're not invincible after all!"
"That is!"
"Even if I can't get into the Shrek Academy, I can still defeat the people from the Shrek Academy if I work hard!"
"So, even if we don't get into the Shrek Academy, we shouldn't give up on cultivation!" On the viewing platform, many people were discussing excitedly.
Shrek Academy is not invincible.
The battle at Long Yuan shattered Shrek Academy's undefeated myth.
Many people gave him a thumbs up.
After the referee handed Long Yuan his number plate, he stepped off the competition stage.
He did not use the Golden Dragon Claw just now.
If he had used the Golden Dragon Claw, he would have defeated Ye Xinglan long ago.
"Long Yuan, you're awesome! You actually beat Sister Xing Lan!"
Upon reaching the viewing platform, Xu Lizhi approached Long Yuan, gave him a thumbs-up, and showed a look of surprise on his face.
His fear of Ye Xinglan means that Long Yuan is also capable of defeating him.
"How dare you speak like that, Xu Lizhi? Whose side are you on anyway?"
Ye Xinglan, who was following behind, looked rather displeased and glared at Xu Lizhi.
"Um, Sister Xing Lan, that's not what I meant!"
"So what do you mean?"
Xu Lizhi grabbed Xu Ye Xinglan's ear, and the two left.
Long Yuan glanced at the two of them and shook his head. These two were truly sworn enemies.
In the original story, it seems the two ended up together.
"Long Yuan, you're too amazing!"
"That's a top student from the Shrek Academy!"
Xie Xie, Tang Wulin, Xu Xiaoyan, and Gu Yue surrounded Long Yuan, all showing expressions of surprise.
"Therefore, even if we encounter Shrek Academy again, we shouldn't be afraid. They're not invincible; they just have more combat experience than us!"
Long Yuan quickly took this opportunity to speak with the others.
As the team leader, his words at this moment greatly encouraged the team members.
This strengthened their resolve for the battles to come.
In the second round of the Team Competition in the afternoon, Long Yuan and his team faced weak opponents and won easily.
Back at the hotel, Long Yuan enjoyed a hearty meal before entering a meditative state once more.
The further he progresses, the stronger his opponents become, and the more difficult it is to win. He needs to seize every opportunity to maximize his Soul Power.
The next morning arrived quickly; Long Yuan had spent the entire night cultivating.
For Soul Master, cultivation means they can maintain their energy and spirit without needing to sleep.
After a night of cultivation, through extracting and absorbing the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, his Soul Power improved a little more.
Spiritual Power, Soul Power, physical strength, blood and qi power, etc., have all been improved.
The next morning, everyone was notified.
Long Yuan and his group entered the Round Robin Tournament.
Next, they need to participate in a single round-robin group stage.
In the morning, Long Yuan went to participate in the final blacksmith competition. He went all out in this final.
He created Spiritual Forging masterpiece, reaching the level of Fifth-Level Forging Master, and won the final championship in the Youth Group blacksmith competition.
The second place goes to Tang Wulin.
The third place goes to Mu Xi.
The champion, runner-up, and third-place winner are all members of the Eastsea Forging Masters Association.
It caused a sensation.
The champion and runner-up are Mu Chen's Personal Disciple, and the third-place winner, Mu Xi, is Mu Chen's daughter.
People couldn't help but marvel at how Mu Chen, an Eighth-Level Saint Craftsman, was able to train three genius blacksmiths.
In the entire Skysea Alliance forging world, there is only one Eighth-Level Saint Craftsman, Mu Chen.
From today onwards, both Mu Chen and the Eastsea Forging Association will become even more famous.
Mu Chen's status in the forging world is becoming increasingly extraordinary.
However, the Forging Tournament receives relatively less attention compared to competitions in Mecha Manufacturing, Mecha design, and Mecha repair.
The sensation quickly subsided.
Most people went to watch the Mecha competition.
Of course, the Soul Master Competition is the most popular event among the people of Skysea City.
Whether it's Individual Competition or Team Competition, it's a visual feast that they enjoy every few years.
Soon, Long Yuan and his team faced their first match in the Round Robin Tournament.
Inside the stadium, Long Yuan, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan walked towards the entrance.
Their opponents were a second-tier team from the Tianhai Intermediate Academy in Skysea City.
Tianhai Intermediate Academy is the strongest Intermediate Academy in the entire Skysea Alliance.
The opponents of Long Yuan and his group were among the strongest in the entire group.
"Long Yuan!"
Suddenly, just as the group was about to enter, a voice came from beside them.
"Senior!"
Long Yuan turned around and saw that it was the senior addressed as Old Duan.
"I am Duan Xuan, the President the Tianhai Forging Association. You can call me Old Duan. You have a great talent for forging."
I had something to do this morning, and by the time I got there, you had already left.
"We have a series of talent recruitment programs in Skysea City right now. I've seen your forging work and I think you have a lot of talent. I wonder if you'd like to develop your career in Skysea City? If you're willing, come find me, and I'll personally take you to pass the Fifth-Level Forging Master assessment!"
Duan Xuan stared intently at Long Yuan, extending an olive branch.
He didn't care whether Long Yuan was Mu Chen's Personal Disciple or a member of the Eastsea Forging Masters Association.
As long as the conditions are right, Long Yuan is willing and he is not afraid of offending Mu Chen.
"Old Duan, I am already Personal Disciple of Master Mu Chen and have also joined the Eastsea Forging Masters Association. I have no plans to develop in Skysea City for the time being. I apologize, Old Duan."
Long Yuan quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said.
"Little guy, don't think about how to refuse me yet. You should know that Skysea City is the largest city in the eastern part of the Douluo Continent, and it is better than Eastsea City in every aspect."
The Eastsea Forging Masters Association can give you anything. In addition, I guarantee that all your forging training expenses before you reach the level of Sixth-Level Forging Master, will be paid by the association.
You should know how much it takes to break through to the Spiritual Forging stage, and it will only take more afterward.
With your talent, our Tianhai Forging Masters Association is willing to pay this fee for you until you reach the Spirit Fusion Forging level, which is level six.
Furthermore, the Tianhai Forging Masters Association can guarantee that we'll help you at least reach the Soul Saint level in the future. We have the resources to do that, what do you say?
It has to be said that the conditions offered by this Old Duan were extremely tempting.
The association will cover the costs for levels 5 and 6 and below.
He believed that Long Yuan was definitely capable of reaching the sixth-level Grandmaster realm.
The conditions offered would be hard for any blacksmith to refuse.
Long Yuan was even a little tempted.
Agreeing meant that the Tianhai Forging Masters Association would recommend him to become a Level 6 Grandmaster-Level Forging Master.
This has already achieved a pivotal position in the forging industry.
"Old Duan, you can't do this. Long Yuan is already a member of the Eastsea Forging Masters Association, and he is also Chairman Mu's Personal Disciple."
"If your Tianhai Forging Masters Association can satisfy his needs, our Eastsea Forging Masters Association can too."
"Why are you everywhere, Xiao Cen? Are you stalking me?"
Upon seeing Cen Yue appear here, Old Duan's face showed displeasure.
"Long Yuan, think it over. Once you've made up your mind, come find me at the Tianhai Forging Masters Association!"
"You may wish to stay with the Eastsea Forging Masters Association, but remember, the doors of our Tianhai Forging Masters Association will always be open for you!"
Old Duan finished speaking with Long Yuan, he glared at Cen Yue, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
"Long Yuan, the cost of breaking through to the fifth or sixth level of blacksmithing is astronomical. Why not agree?"
After Old Duan left, Xie Xie looked at Long Yuan and asked.
"Hmm? Little guy, get ready for the next match!"
Cen Yue looked at Xie Xie. This kid was stirring up trouble here. Didn't he see that Xie Xie was still here?
The others wanted to persuade Long Yuan, but seeing Cen Yue's displeased expression, they swallowed their words.
"Participating team members, please enter the arena!"
Just then, the host's voice rang out, and Long Yuan and the others had no choice but to head towards the competition venue.
