Full of Confidence

The soil, formed from volcanic ash, may be rich in nutrients, or the area may be a gathering place for high-level Soul Beast, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant.

Although it was said to be half an hour, only about ten minutes had passed. In Ling Yi and Ah Yin's perception, the aura of "Blue Silver Grass" appeared in all directions within a radius of several thousand meters.

Due to the heavy rain and howling winds, many light "Blue Silver Grass" seeds even flew onto the body of the Roaring Volcano.

At a distance of over 7,000 meters from the foot of the mountain, Ling Yi and Ah Yin, holding hands, stopped.

The Roaring Volcano is over 3,000 meters high, and the crater at its summit is about 500 meters in diameter, making it an absolutely colossal structure.

Relying on the newly sprouted "Blue Silver Grass" to gain true vision, Ling Yi and his companions avoided three groups of Soul Beast and fourteen high-age solitary Soul Beast along the way, which is how they arrived at their current location.

But this is basically the end. Without Titled Douluo- level expert accompanying him, Ling Yi will not venture any further into the area.

Ling Yi, who had quietly taken over the leadership of the team after entering the Roaring Volcano area, quickly reviewed the information of the Soul Beast they had encountered along the way. He immediately pulled Ah Yin around and led the bewildered group back the way they came.

Completely bewildered, but due to the extremely dangerous environment, Yao Qi looked at Lou Gao and Tie Futu, who were all trusting, and ultimately did not voice any doubts.

But from that moment on, Yao Qi was absolutely certain of one thing.

This young man named Ling Yi's status within the Blacksmith Association is subtly above that of the two Divine Craftsman, Chairman Lou Gao and former Chairman Tie Futu!

Noticing the change in Yao Qi's gaze, Ling Yi remained calm, still focusing his attention on sensing his surroundings.

As for what Yao Qi was thinking, it was within Ling Yi's expectations.

Or rather, this was exactly what Ling Yi had hoped for.

The description of Ling Yi by a Soul Saint who has a 90% chance of becoming Soul Douluo in the future, possesses the qualifications to be granted a title, and is about to report to the headquarters of the Spirit Hall represents Ling Yi's initial image in the eyes of the top forces in the Douluo Continent.

Credibility is extremely high!

This character cannot be an ordinary person who is not taken seriously, nor can he be a super genius with extremely high potential who needs special attention.

So, the image Ling Yi hoped for was that of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill who possessed a support-oriented Martial Soul Fusion Skill combination, but not a combat-oriented one; a Healing System Soul Master with mediocre talent and a low-quality Martial Soul; a future Divine Craftsman with extremely high talent in forging; and an intelligent person with extraordinary insight and vision... This was the image Ling Yi desired in front of top forces such as the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, it's more likely that these top powers simply don't have a place for Ling Yi in their eyes; they consider him someone they'll forget as soon as they see him.

Just like Ling Yi, who had made a great name for himself in the Heaven Dou Border Army, now, more than a year later, apart from a few close friends, the name Ling Yi is rarely mentioned in the Heaven Dou Border Army anymore.

With Ling Yi's careful management, a group of about a hundred people, led by Xiao Yan, Li Lili, Ai'er Timosi, Lian Lai'en, have maintained a friendly relationship that will last for a very long time, with both friendship and interests working in tandem.

With these people around, even if Ling Yi returns to the Heaven Dou Border Army ten or eight years later, he won't be a clueless newcomer. In fact, some of them will rise to high positions within the Heaven Dou Border Army as their strength increases, making the support Ling Yi can leverage even greater.

Sowing seeds is similar to fishing. In addition to casting a wide net to catch more fish, you also need to pinpoint the location to finally catch the real big fish.

Similarly, Ling Yi doesn't expect to gain anything from Yao Qi right now. Yao Qi alone is enough for Ling Yi to subtly insert some information into the other party's cognition by taking advantage of the opportunity to hunt for Soul Ring with the Tie Futu.

in addition.

I wonder how far things have progressed in the scene of the father bidding farewell to his son in Gengxin City...

As Ling Yi stopped in front of the lair of a solitary Soul Beast, a thought flashed through his mind.

Let's go back two days, to the location: ' Gengxin City '.

At night, the moon and stars are sparse.

Although not as bright as daytime, visibility is still clear, especially in the eyes of Soul Emperor level experts, it is actually no different from daytime.

The imposing Arthur Candir displayed a strikingly different agility and lightness as he silently infiltrated the Blacksmith Association.

Unlike the bustling crowds during the day, the Blacksmith Association headquarters was quiet and deserted after 2:30 a. m.

Starting from the first floor, Arthur Candir explored every corner with swift and stealthy movements.

However, Arthur Candir found nothing all the way to the heavy metal door leading from the fourth floor to the fifth.

It's not that nothing of value was found. Although the real treasures had been collected, many more mineral materials and metal products were still displayed prominently on the shelves of shops.

But none of these were Arthur Candir's goals in setting aside his status as a city lord and Earl to become a thief.

"That's strange," Arthur Candir muttered under his breath, his face grim as he stood before the metal door. "Could it be that the good-for-nothing and those two bastards lied to me?"

He was searching for the entrance to the Blacksmith Association's secret vault.

Well, although Kuku Candil was his eldest son, Edgar was his close attendant, and Mosang was a spy he personally sent to the Blacksmith Association to gather information, in Arthur Candil's eyes, these three were no different from pawns. Not only were they devoid of any emotion, but they were also constantly beaten and scolded to display his majesty as the Earl.

This isn't mindlessness, but rather a deeply ingrained aristocratic mindset in the Douluo Continent.

Generally speaking, nobles are equivalent to Soul Master, and clan leaders are equivalent to the strongest individuals. In the Douluo Continent, the strongest rule everything.

Therefore, in Arthur Candir's eyes, both his eldest son Kuku Candir and his two servants Edgar and Mosang had to obey him, body and soul.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Just as there are families like Arthur Candir who treat bloodlines and subordinates as vassals and servants, there are also genuinely loving and respectful families of Soul Master who are kind to their children and fair to their parents, and who are clear about rewards and punishments.

Although Arthur Candir learned from Kuku Candir and the other two that Tie Futu's Soul Power was able to break through level 80, it was purely because he had gained a deeper understanding of forging. This flash of inspiration led to the improvement of his Soul Power.

However, Arthur Candill still harbored different speculations about this.

This conjecture was not without basis; as the city lord of Gengxin City, he could be said to have all the information about the entire city on the surface.

Although he hadn't been paying attention to the Blacksmith Association all the time over the past year, Arthur Candir still knew a thing or two about the Divine Craftsman, Tie Futu and Lou Gao.

Even when the Lou Gao housed one or two thousand newcomers a few years ago, Arthur Candil watched them operate with a detached eye.

It's a trivial matter, and they're mostly lowly commoners with no Soul Power aptitude; there's no need to bother with them.

What truly caught Arthur Candir's attention was that, a few years after Tie Futu passed the leadership of the Blacksmiths Guild to Lou Gao, he suddenly began spending almost every moment on the fifth floor of the Blacksmith Association headquarters, seemingly researching something.

During this time, some precious materials and a number of Soul Tool were purchased by Lou Gao and delivered to the fifth floor behind the heavy metal door in front of him.

Lou Gao and the Tie Futu are definitely researching something.

And this thing is very likely related to the key to the Tie Futu's Soul Power breaking through to level 80!

Otherwise, how could an old man in his eighties, who had been stuck at level 79 for more than ten years, suddenly break through a barrier that should never have been broken before his death?

Compared to the reports from Kuku Candir, Edgar, and Mosang, Arthur Candir had more faith in his own reasoning and judgment!

There must be a hidden treasure inside the Blacksmith Association!

Thinking of the scattered pieces of information that had reached his ears over the past year, a fiery light flashed in Arthur Candir's eyes, and he was absolutely certain of what he was thinking.

What goes unnoticed is often the most authentic!
