The Ceiling of the Genius World! Gu Yue's Heart

"System, I will use my sub-profession level as the aspect in which I surpass Gu Yue."

Lu Li chuckled softly, speaking in a calm tone.

[Congratulations, Host. You have achieved a landslide victory in the sub-profession level competition against Gu Yue, with an advantage of level eight to level one.]

[Congratulations on completing the long-term mission: Dragon King Conflict.]

[You will randomly receive an affinity for any attribute.]

[Ultimate Life Attribute Affinity]

The system's voice echoed.

The moment the mechanical sound faded, perhaps because the surrounding life attribute was not particularly strong, he did not feel where this affinity originated from at this instant.

Perhaps it will be of great use later.

Lu Li shook his head, thinking to himself as he turned and left the Blacksmith's Association at high speed, clearly having no intention of lingering there.

Continue forging? That was obviously out of the question. He didn't pay much attention to forging, and besides, now that he possessed extraordinary comprehension, he would have plenty of time to max out his forging skills later; there was no need to rush now.

As for the four-word Battle Armor...

With his status as a Spirit Envoy of the Spirit Pagoda, plus his standing in the Blacksmith's Association, he only needed to wait.

"It's this room."

"I want to know, who was the blacksmith that was in this room earlier?"

Not long after he left, a blonde girl led the receptionist to this spot, asking with an excited tone.

Beside her, a man in his forties with a heroic, upright appearance was also following.

"This..."

"President Mu Chen, Miss Mu Xi, the other party did not leave a name. We only know his surname is Lu, a level three blacksmith..."

The staff member who had brought Lu Li earlier looked flustered, shaking his head as he spoke.

"A level three blacksmith...?"

"That commotion, are you sure it was a level three blacksmith?"

Mu Xi's small face was filled with bewilderment, and she spoke subconsciously. Such a beautiful and elegant melody could not possibly come from just a level three blacksmith.

"Surname Lu?"

Hearing this and recalling the voice he felt familiar with earlier, Mu Chen instantly had a target in mind.

"Xiao Xi, that high-level blacksmith is not someone you can meet, so you should give up on that idea."

He looked toward Mu Xi with a smile and said calmly.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Good lad, I didn't expect you to slip past me this time. If Senior Brother knew you had time to come to Eastsea City, he would probably be furious..."

Mu Chen's mood was far from calm. The reason was simple: the other party was the only genius in the blacksmithing world with the potential to become a Divine Craftsman in his twenties!

The ceiling of the genius world, the Holy Dragon Douluo, Lu Li!

"..."

Meanwhile.

In a forest far on the outskirts of Eastsea City, Gu Yue was staying alone by a lake.

Behind her, a black shadow suddenly appeared, then knelt respectfully by her side.

"My Lord!"

The man in the black robe spoke with immense respect. His physique was robust, and his upright face bore an unmistakable loyalty.

He was none other than the strongest being in the Star Dou Great Forest, the former head of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the number one powerhouse of the beast race who had been famous for ten thousand years, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!

He had countless titles crowned upon him, but in front of the person before him, he held only one identity: a guard.

"Di Tian, the Golden Dragon King bloodline within that Tang Wulin has not yet been awakened. I will keep a close eye on him these next two days, and as for you..."

"When a suitable opportunity arises, go and probe his background. Remember, do not expose my existence."

"That way, I can see for myself whether he is, as I suspect, the descendant of that person."

Gu Yue spoke indifferently, a flash of gloom crossing her eyes. The Golden Dragon King was dead; how could his bloodline fall into the mortal realm and appear within the body of a mortal?

Heh, Tang Wulin, surname Tang, martial soul Blue Silver Grass, and a sealed Golden Dragon King bloodline—the identity of this Tang Wulin is truly not hard to guess!

"The God Realm has vanished, and now the Golden Dragon King has fallen, with his seal appearing on a Tang-surnamed boy with a Blue Silver Grass martial soul..."

"Tang San, it's you, isn't it?"

Gu Yue sneered. Not to mention her own world-shaking wisdom, even an ordinary person could see the trickery behind this.

All of this was likely the handiwork of that person.

The Supreme God who achieved the dual godhood twenty thousand years ago, the Sea God and Asura God who forcibly altered the path of the Child of Fortune and the Emperor Beast ten thousand years ago, the God King Tang San!

And Tang Wulin's identity was likely that of his own biological son, whose talent had been specially altered for the sake of a trial.

After all, hadn't the other party done the exact same thing ten thousand years ago to steal the fortune of the beast race and the Golden Dragon bloodline?

"Thirty thousand years have passed. Every time the fortune of the Douluo plane emerges, the Tang family insists on sticking their hands in, but this time..."

"I will not let your plan succeed, Tang San."

Her face was filled with killing intent; if there were an opportunity in the future, she would personally tear him limb from limb!

"My Lord, what about the Golden Holy Dragon King, Lu Li? He suddenly came to Donghai Academy, and even your subordinate finds it difficult to fathom."

At this moment, Di Tian could not help but ask.

As the number one genius in the world, Lu Li of the Spirit Pagoda had been under his special observation ever since the current Lord, disguised as Na'er, was brought home by him.

He was the number one genius of the human world, having broken through to the Title Douluo realm at only eighteen. His martial soul bloodline was even superior to that of a Golden Dragon, and his innate bloodline talent was surpassed only by the Lord herself, far exceeding his own.

Such a person did not seem like a human at all, but rather the reincarnation of some great Dragon King, born to contribute to the dragon race in this era when the Lord had emerged from seclusion.

If only he weren't human; otherwise, the Lord, having recovered her memories, would have long since been eager to recruit him, treating him as an honored guest of the dragon race and even a member of their grand plan for revival!

But even so, in the Lord's future plans for the human world, Lu Li occupied a position of great importance.

"Big Brother Lu Li?"

Gu Yue glanced at him, not quite understanding the gravity of his concern.

Wasn't that just his personality? It was the same when he went to Aolai City back then, and it was likely the same reason he had come to Eastsea City this time.

"My Lord, I am not sure if I should speak my mind."

"Back then, when Lu Li left Shrek City for training, how did he just happen to run into you?"

Di Tian shook his head, his eyes flashing with wisdom; he felt that this matter could not be so simple.

"Hmm...?"

Gu Yue frowned. Why was there any need to make such a fuss? Wasn't it just because they were fated to meet?

He, whose martial soul was the Golden Holy Dragon King, just happened to encounter her when she was suffering from amnesia in Aolai City. That was all.

But seeing that he truly seemed to have his own theories, Gu Yue nodded, signaling for him to continue.

"My Lord, how could there be such a coincidence?"

"His martial soul just happens to be the top-tier Dragon King bloodline of the dragon race, he just happens to meet you, and now he just happens to appear in Eastsea City."

"We came to Eastsea City for the Golden Dragon King bloodline inside Tang Wulin, so what about him? He couldn't possibly have known we were coming and followed us here."

"He..."

"I fear he is also here for the Golden Dragon King bloodline."

"Just as he was guided by some mysterious force three years ago to find you, it would be no surprise if he came to Eastsea City seeking a greater breakthrough."

Di Tian's face wore a firm expression as he said earnestly.

"..."

Gu Yue's expression froze. Although she felt that Di Tian's reasoning was a bit far-fetched, upon closer reflection, it actually held some weight.

Why did Big Brother Lu Li always show up at these times? Not to mention that his martial soul was the Golden Holy Dragon King!

What was that?

That was a top-tier Dragon King of the dragon race that had yet to fully emerge!

As a true superior of the Golden Dragon race, his bloodline power was no weaker than that of the Golden Dragon King; the only difference was that the latter possessed the God King origin power of the Dragon God.

And what he needed most...

Was precisely the bloodline origin within the Golden Dragon King!

"Di Tian, if what you say is true, then Big Brother Lu Li came this time to obtain the Golden Dragon King bloodline inside Tang Wulin."

"Then it seems..."

"I will have to compete with him for it!"

Gu Yue's eyes held a firm look, and her tone carried a hint of disdain as she spoke slowly.

Perhaps she did value him highly and even regarded him as the only person among humans she could trust, but when it came to bloodlines...

She would hold onto it tightly; that was her bottom line.

As for him, the Golden Holy Dragon King was already a top-tier existence among the dragon race; it would be enough to make him her best, and only, companion by her side in the future.

Gu Yue's eyes drifted into a reverie. When she eventually restored the majesty of the Dragon God and made all of humanity bow, she would surely, as a queen, make him submit to her!

Of course, it was still too early to speak of such things. She would wait until she could re-establish contact with him through Leng Yaozhu...

"Big Brother Lu Li."

"You wouldn't want to make things difficult for me, would you?"

Gu Yue thought to herself with a smile.

"..."

"Why do I suddenly feel a chill down my spine?"

On the other side, Lu Li frowned involuntarily while on his way home, a trace of doubt rising in his heart before he shook his head.

It made no sense; he hadn't even made a name for himself in Eastsea City yet, and even if it were that certain bell with the fastest movements, it shouldn't be this quick.

As for the others, could it be Gu Yue?

But she was still just a child!

"..."

Gu Yue: Whoever said I have world-shaking wisdom, come out! A genius like the Golden Holy Dragon King becoming the one above ten thousand under me in the Dragon Clan, is there a problem with that? Speak!

Lu Li: "..." (smiles without a word)
