"Good, good, good! With so many rare metals, my expenses for the next few years are covered! Hahaha!" Lou Gao was as delighted as a child. To him, nothing was more enjoyable than forging.
"Alright, uh..." Lou Gao looked somewhat embarrassed.
"Just call me Little Han." Bibi Han had clearly seen what Lou Gao was embarrassed about.
"Ahem, I only know a few hammer strikes."
"It's fine. Let me see them." Bibi Han said indifferently.
Although the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer had been created by Tang Chen, and Tang Chen had indeed been an unparalleled genius, Bibi Han did not believe Tang Chen had developed it entirely on his own without drawing inspiration from anything else.
Lou Gao took a deep breath and moved. His motions seemed no different from before: his legs drove his waist, his waist drove his back, and his back drove his arms. With a clang, the iron hammer smashed into the iron block.
As the hammer bounced up from the recoil, Lou Gao suddenly turned. Once again, power came from his calves as he swung the rebounding hammer up, whirling it once through the air with a fierce howl of wind. Another loud bang rang out as it struck the iron block again. This strike was not only incredibly fast, but also seemed even stronger than the first.
Again and again.
After the tenth strike, Lou Gao stopped, because he did not know how to continue.
Every one of Lou Gao's movements was laid bare before Bibi Han's Eye of Truth. Bibi Han's eyes shone. Though the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer had major drawbacks, such as taking too long to build up force and lacking mobility, it truly was a powerful hammer technique. He could not help admiring that Great-Grandfather for creating such a technique, as well as the divine skill, the Great Sumeru Hammer.
As expected of a man who had cultivated to Rank 99 and nearly become the Asura God.
Compared with Tang San, who could not innovate at all, Tang Chen was the true genius.
"Senior Lou Gao, your Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer has too many unnecessary movements the further it goes. That's why you can't unleash the eleventh strike."
"You think I don't know that? If someone from the Clear Sky Sect had taught me, I wouldn't have stopped at ten strikes. Then the forging ability of us blacksmiths... sigh." Lou Gao's tone grew somewhat dejected toward the end.
Bibi Han comforted him. "You should stop thinking about such impractical things. This is one of the Clear Sky Sect's sect-defending hammer techniques. If you all learned it, the whole world would probably analyze it inside and out. How could it still be called a sect-defending hammer technique?"
"Let me try."
He copied Lou Gao's movements, but stopped at the fourth strike.
"What's wrong? Weren't you doing fine?"
"The movements are wrong. Just now, my right calf should have stepped back another three centimeters. Part of my strength leaked away, and my calf was too tense, causing the force to be transmitted unevenly. It also made my leg harder to move. Although that strike was considerably stronger, it wasn't an equal increase. The later strikes would become harder and harder to control."
Lou Gao stared at him, dumbfounded. "You can even feel that?"
"Mm." Aside from feeling it himself, his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul also seemed to be reminding him.
"Then what will you do next?"
"What else can I do? Of course, keep trying."
Before he could bring the hammer down, Bibi Han scratched his head and said, "Wait a moment. Senior Lou Gao, teach me all your hammering techniques first. That would help me more in continuing my exploration."
At dusk, Bibi Han walked back toward the Martial Soul Main Hall, flexing his aching arm. He had to admit, this feeling was not bad. It was only a little soreness; with the Blue Silver God Martial Soul continuously healing him, it would probably be gone after one night.
Just then, Bibi Han seemed to sense something and walked toward an alley. At its end stood a little girl with short silver hair. Dust speckled her fair face, and her clothes were somewhat worn, yet she radiated a unique aura that drew his gaze to her without him realizing it. The little girl also stared blankly at him, with a trace of familiarity in her eyes. Amethyst-like pupils, silver eyelashes.
"Your Highness." Several Soul Masters immediately appeared beside Bibi Han. A strange little girl appearing here was hardly a good sign in their eyes.
Bibi Han spoke sternly. "Stand down!"
"Your Highness, this little girl is rather strange."
"There's nothing strange about her."
The little girl was frightened by the suddenly appearing Soul Masters and hurriedly crouched down, clutching her head.
With a glance from Bibi Han, they concealed themselves nearby.
"Don't be afraid, little sister. Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" Bibi Han asked with concern.
The little girl looked at him again and shook her head.
"Then what are your parents' names? Big Brother will help you find them."
The little girl shook her head again.
Bibi Han frowned slightly. "Then what's your name? You know that much, right?"
This time, the little girl nodded and said, "My name is Na'er."
"Na'er? That's a lovely name."
"What? You said your name is Na'er?" Bibi Han came to his senses and stared at her in shock.
Na'er was startled by Bibi Han's reaction and shrank back.
Silver hair, this scene... this little girl was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
Bibi Han now faced a difficult choice. It was true that Na'er was the number one beauty in Douluo, surpassing even Little Xue, but she was also a bottomless pit, burdened with an unimaginably difficult mission.
After he became a god, the Sea God had to die. No matter whether the Sea God would do anything to Little Xue in the future, he had to die. If he killed the Sea God, he would surely be stopped by the God Realm Committee. Then he would inevitably fight the God Realm Committee. It was only a matter of time, so he might as well take Na'er with him now. Besides, Na'er had already awakened, which meant Gu Yuena would soon emerge as well. If he did not treat her properly, humanity would absolutely be destroyed by Na'er.
Originally, he had only wanted to liberate the miserable people of this world. It seemed he might now have one more task: saving the Soul Beast Clan.
Bibi Han said in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Na'er, Big Brother didn't mean to scare you. Turn around, alright?"
Only after hearing the remorse in Bibi Han's voice did Na'er turn her head, looking at him timidly.
Grrr~ Grrr~
The sound rang out, and Na'er's face immediately turned red.
"Hungry? Big Brother has some Cream Bread here. Do you want some?" Bibi Han smiled and took out some bread from his storage ring.
Na'er smelled the milky aroma of the bread and swallowed, but still shook her head.
"Afraid I poisoned it? Look."
Bibi Han casually broke off several pieces and ate them.
"There's no poison. Go on, eat."
Grrr~ Grrr~
"Can I?" Na'er asked cautiously.
"Of course. Come, wipe your hands and face first."
Watching Na'er eat, Bibi Han smiled. After she finished, the look in her eyes became warm toward him once more.
That affectionate gaze... Mother Dragon. Bibi Han finally understood.
So the Dragon Soul Pill strengthening my body wasn't the main point. The most important thing was Na'er. In other words, I have to save the fate of the Soul Beast Clan.
Damn Golden Finger.
After calming himself, he said, "Na'er, come with me."
"Go with you?" Confusion filled Na'er's eyes.
"Yes, come with me. I'll take care of you," Bibi Han said gently, his expression full of sincerity.
Feeling that sense of closeness, Na'er said, "Okay."
Bibi Han took Na'er's hand and headed toward the Martial Soul Main Hall.
"Your Highness, could there be something wrong with this little girl?"
"No. She was probably abandoned by her parents."
Something wrong? There was something very wrong with this little girl. She was the strongest being on Douluo Star. I wonder if Gu Yue will appear.
PS: Gu Yue will not appear in this work. There will only be Na'er. Once she fully recovers, she will become Gu Yuena. Na'er will return to Spirit Hall with the protagonist and will not be sensed by the Angel Statue. Also, everything she originally possessed has been sealed, so if anything later differs from the original work, there is no need to worry about it.
