Heavenly Forging

Ya Li felt that she must truly be getting old, as her eyes were playing tricks on her early in the morning.

At this moment, Qiangu Zhangting stood at the main gate of Shrek Academy, chest puffed out, looking like a peacock strutting in the wind.

Beyond the flowers in his hands, he was dressed in an incredibly garish outfit, with dolls hanging from his waist that Ya Li couldn't even name.

Where on earth did he learn this style of dressing?

Did he think the little girl would like this look when he came to find Yun Qianyue?

Based on Ya Li's understanding of Yun Qianyue, she would likely beat Qiangu Zhangting out of the academy gates the moment she saw this.

Just as Ya Li stood in silence, Qiangu Zhangting spotted her and hurried over to offer his greetings.

"Greetings, Holy Spirit Douluo!"

Ya Li took a step back, her refined upbringing allowing her to maintain a calm expression as she said, "Qianyue is not here; you should head back."

Qiangu Zhangting was not at all surprised that Ya Li knew who he was looking for without asking. He tucked the flowers away and asked, "Your Excellency, where has Qianyue gone?"

Ya Li shook her head, choosing not to tell him. She advised, "I know you have feelings for Qianyue, but I urge you to give up! You are well aware of the relationship between the Spirit Pagoda and the academy."

Qiangu Zhangting replied without hesitation, "Then what if I join Shrek Academy?"

In any case, Qiangu Dongfeng had told him that as long as he brought Yun Qianyue back to the Spirit Pagoda, any means were acceptable! Becoming a student at Shrek Academy was not something he couldn't accept!

The moment his words fell, Ya Li felt as if she were hallucinating.

Watching Ya Li stand there, staring at Qiangu Zhangting with a look of utter astonishment, the old gatekeeper took a sip of his tea, feeling his peace of mind restored. He had said the sun must have risen in the west today; even the Holy Spirit Douluo had never seen a scene like this!

Meanwhile, far away at the Blacksmith Association, Yun Qianzhao and his group were still unaware of what had transpired at Shrek Academy.

In the president's office, Zhen Hua looked on in shock at Yun Ming and the siblings behind him, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue, who looked as if they had been carved from the same mold: "Heavenly Pillar Crown, you have taken on disciples? When did this happen?"

"Not long ago."

Yun Ming raised his hand, a soul tool storage ring resting in his palm: "I have come today to entrust you with forging suitable weapons for them! These are the materials."

Looking at the ring Yun Ming handed over, Zhen Hua waved a large hand: "Your Excellency, you are being too formal! In my Blacksmith Association, if nothing else, we have materials in abundance!"

Not only did he refuse the materials Yun Ming offered, but he also prepared several gifts for Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue: "Come, my grand-disciples! It is rare for you to visit the Blacksmith Association, take these! Consider them a welcoming gift."

As the only Divine Craftsman on the Douluo Plane, Zhen Hua's gifts were not something just anyone could receive; the items he possessed were enough to move even many Limit Douluo!

After some pleasantries, Zhen Hua led the master and his two disciples to the High-Level Forging Zone and placed two pieces of Heavenly Forging metal onto the forging table.

Yun Qianzhao could tell at a glance that this forging table was extraordinary.

Heavenly Forging was a power that truly touched the realm of the divine, and the most basic requirement for the Four-Character Battle Armor—known as the second life of a Limit Douluo—was that it be crafted entirely through Heavenly Forging.

A forging table capable of withstanding Heavenly Forging was a treasure in itself; in Zhen Hua's view, even a full-force strike from a Limit Douluo might not necessarily destroy it.

Yun Ming took out the blueprints and handed them to Zhen Hua.

Beyond the necessary material requirements for the weapon blanks, the list included items that existed mostly in legends, such as the scales and bones of an Ultimate Fire-attribute soul beast, the essence of a beast core, and the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice produced in the Far North!

Even Zhen Hua couldn't help but gasp when he saw the list: "Is Your Excellency planning to forge divine artifacts?"

Seeing the stunned expression on Zhen Hua's face, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue curiously leaned in.

Thanks to their powerful soul strength and the convenience of being twin souls, the two had spent the last few months reading through and memorizing the vast majority of books on soul master cultivation within Shrek Academy.

They were no longer the ordinary people from their previous lives who knew nothing of soul master knowledge.

Therefore, when they saw the materials Yun Ming had listed, they couldn't help but be astonished. Even the Federation likely couldn't produce these materials just by wanting them.

"The Association does have the scales and bones of an Ultimate Fire-attribute soul beast, but the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice... that is not easy to find!" Zhen Hua said, looking troubled.

"The academy has already prepared these materials, so President Zhen Hua need not worry."

Yun Ming said, soothing Zhen Hua as he observed his troubled expression.

Hearing this, Zhen Hua exclaimed: "Shrek Academy possesses treasures like Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice?"

Yun Ming smiled slightly, his tone proud: "The academy's ancestors once had ties with the Earth Dragon Gate. When the Earth Dragon Gate still existed, the academy collaborated with them and obtained quite a bit of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice!"

"Sigh... I had hoped to show the Heavenly Pillar Crown the strength of our Blacksmith Association, but alas! Shrek Academy is truly worthy of being Shrek Academy!" Zhen Hua sighed helplessly.

"I have always had great faith in the strength of the Blacksmith Association!"

Yun Ming looked at Zhen Hua with a serious expression.

Once the materials were prepared, Zhen Hua began the forging! His entire demeanor changed in an instant, and the crowd of onlookers began to grow.

In reality, due to his own physical condition, Zhen Hua rarely performed Heavenly Forging anymore. Only someone like Yun Ming could have persuaded him.

As Zhen Hua forged, the Heavenly Forging alloy began to change, the metal constantly tempered and elongated.

The silver-white barrel of a spear was already clearly visible.

After the final two ultimate attributes were fused into the spear body, dark clouds gradually gathered in the sky, the light dimmed, and thunder rolled within the clouds as a terrifying heavenly might brewed above.

This was the lightning tribulation that Heavenly Forging must endure!

Zhen Hua looked up at the thunderclouds in the sky, never having been so calm. With Yun Ming present, there was no need to worry about any lightning tribulation!

The lightning flashing within the tribulation clouds gradually took on more colors, and then, a fierce, multicolored bolt of lightning struck down instantly!

Protected by Yun Ming's immense power, no one was harmed by the lightning.

After enduring a full eighty-one bolts of heavenly lightning, these two weapons of Heavenly Forging grade finally took their complete form, hovering above the forging table while shimmering in hues of orange-red and silver-white.

Zhen Hua retrieved the two long spears and presented them to Yun Ming: "Your Excellency, I have fulfilled my mission!"

The surrounding blacksmiths erupted into thunderous cheers! As blacksmiths, their life goal was to become a Divine Craftsman, and Zhen Hua's Heavenly Forging filled them with immense longing.

"Qianzhao, Qianyue! Come here."

Yun Ming beckoned Yun Qianzhao and his sister over, handing the two long spears with diametrically opposed attributes to them, and instructed the two to drip their blood to claim ownership.
