Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu

Although Xu Yue's one-hammer Spirit Forging had left Mu Chen stunned and in awe, it did not mean that Xu Yue no longer needed to learn anything in the field of blacksmithing.

For instance, there were the complexities of forging various Mecha and Battle Armor parts, the techniques of Fusion Forging at the Spirit Forging level, and the properties and forging challenges of various rare metals.

While the Authority of Rock had reduced the difficulty of the blacksmithing profession to the absolute minimum for Xu Yue, there was still a need for study in the grand scheme of things.

At the same time, the development of gravity manipulation and the physical training for Mu Xi had also begun in parallel over these past few days.

Regarding the use of gravity for physical conditioning, even Mu Chen, an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman, was full of praise and personally admitted as much.

When training in front of Xu Yue, who could freely control gravity, and with the assistance of proper dietary therapy, the results could reach a level not inferior to Shrek secret methods or certain heaven-sent treasures.

This was something that even a gravity chamber created using a Soul Tool could not fully replicate.

After all, even the most advanced gravity chamber could not match Xu Yue, who could rely on his own Intent to keep the intensity of gravity at the most extreme state.

More than ten days later.

After urging Xu Xiaoyan to practice diligently, Xu Yue returned home right on time before dinner.

However, when he stepped out of the elevator, he did not smell the usual aroma of the delicious food prepared by Yuan Bao'er.

Instead, there was a faint, oppressive atmosphere.

Taking out his keys to unlock the door and stepping into the foyer, Xu Yue asked aloud, "Aunt Bao, are we having take... out... today...?"

However, when Xu Yue's gaze fell upon the spacious living room, he was frozen in place by the sight before him.

On the sofa, Mu Chen sat with a stern expression, and Yuan Bao'er sat beside him, her face equally grave.

Opposite them sat a stunning woman with long, fiery red hair cascading to her waist and a curvaceous figure.

The moment he laid eyes on her, he felt the temperature around him rise slightly.

Instantly, a guess formed in Xu Yue's mind, but he still looked at Mu Chen and asked, "Uncle Mu, who is this...?"

On the other side, the three saw Xu Yue return, and the frozen atmosphere in the air gradually began to flow and soften slightly.

"She's here to poach a student!" Mu Chen glanced at the woman in front of him and said bluntly.

Being addressed this way by Mu Chen, the woman opposite did not get angry; instead, she looked at Xu Yue with a beaming smile.

"Xu Yue, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce myself; my name is Leng Yaozhu, and I am from the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda."

Hearing this name, Xu Yue thought to himself that it was as expected.

Red hair, stunning beauty, female, combined with the fire element that made the air grow hot, and that aura which suppressed Mu Chen—there could be no one else.

Aside from Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu, there was no one else.

Walking over to the sofa, Xu Yue looked at the Leng Yaozhu before him, and a flash of admiration could not help but cross his eyes.

Although he didn't think the beauty of Xu Xiaoyan and Mu Xi would be inferior to Leng Yaozhu when they grew up, both girls were currently just children or teenagers, slightly green and at most considered cute.

And cuteness was not worth mentioning in the face of sexiness.

However, he would keep March 7th's warning in mind and would not be deceived by a mature big sister.

"Greetings, Heavenly Phoenix Crown!"

Leng Yaozhu did not find it strange that Xu Yue addressed her by her title.

Not to mention Xu Yue's parents, just the fact that he grew up in a household like Mu Chen's meant it was absolutely impossible for him to be ignorant of the continent's powerhouses.

"Would you mind letting me see your Martial Soul?"

Hearing this request, Xu Yue instantly understood the other party's intention and thought to himself.

"It seems Leng Yaozhu received the message from the Eastsea Spirit Pagoda and came to inspect my talent."

He was not surprised by this.

In the future, when Gu Yue revealed her talent, she also attracted the attention of Leng Yaozhu.

When a genius with Innate Full Soul Power and Intermediate Spirit Connection Realm mental power appeared, there was no reason for her not to come and take a look.

After all, the current Phoenix Family was truly lacking in successors, with only Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu as their top combat power.

Coupled with the fact that she had no offspring due to emotional reasons, the family had no successors, making them completely incomparable to the Qiangu Family.

This was why she had to cast her gaze toward more talented commoner geniuses.

However, Xu Yue did not agree immediately; instead, he glanced at Mu Chen.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Chen finally sighed and nodded gently at Xu Yue.

Seeing his elder agree, Xu Yue stirred his soul power.

A Thousand-Year Soul Ring rose, and the Star of Eden manifested.

Seeing this scene, a glimmer of joy rose in the eyes of Leng Yaozhu, and she thought to herself.

To be able to absorb a Thousand-Year Soul Spirit directly, the Spirit Connection Realm mental power is indeed correct.

"Very good!" She exclaimed in praise, then looked at Mu Chen, "President Mu..."

But before she could finish, Xu Yue spoke up, looking somewhat dazed, "Heavenly Phoenix Crown, is it over already?"

Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu's tone faltered, and she immediately smiled, "I wonder what else you have to show us, little Xu Yue?"

Xu Yue did not speak, releasing his Gravity Domain.

The black-red field swept across the entire floor in an instant like an all-pervading tide.

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu stood up abruptly, staring at Xu Yue with a face full of shock.

"An Innate Domain?!"

At this moment, she was completely unable to remain calm.

Although in this current era, things like domains had become commonplace.

Spirit Domains, Battle Armor Domains, and the like were already standard equipment for the strong.

But if it were a Martial Soul Innate Domain, among the powerhouses she knew.

Only the Underworld Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult and the Underworld King Douluo Harosa possessed Innate Domains.

Thus, Xu Yue possessing the same talent meant that in the future, he was highly likely to grow to a level comparable to them.

While having an Innate Domain did not necessarily mean one could reach the pinnacle of the continent, the probability was undoubtedly far higher than that of others.

If a genius with Innate Full Soul Power was worth recruiting, adding the Spirit Connection Realm mental power made him worthy of being taken as a disciple.

And on top of that, possessing an Innate Domain.

Then it was absolutely worth any price to secure him.

Moreover, the most important thing was...

He looked like him, too much like him.

The same black hair, a Gravity Domain that resembled the Forbidden Air Domain.

For a fleeting moment, she felt as if she were seeing a young Yun Ming.

Thinking of this, her eyes, as she looked at Xu Yue, were so intense they could almost set him ablaze.

In her heart, she wished she could snatch him away right now and take him back to Shrek City.

But soon, the self-restraint of a top-tier powerhouse allowed her to suppress the excitement in her heart.

"Xu Yue, you have truly opened my eyes today. Based on this talent alone, there will certainly be a place for you among the future peak powerhouses of the continent."

"Thank you for the praise, Heavenly Phoenix Crown!"

Under the gestures of Mu Chen and Leng Yaozhu, Xu Yue sat on the sofa to the side, his gaze wandering back and forth between the two who were at loggerheads.

At this moment, Leng Yaozhu looked at Mu Chen with a firm gaze: "President Mu, have you considered my proposal?"

"Impossible!" Mu Chen rejected it immediately, his tone firm, "Little Yue has already taken me as his master."

"If it is just joining the Spirit Pagoda, I have no objections, but regarding taking him as a disciple, I do not agree."
