Within the sky screen, Sea God Tang San was already seething with anger in the Divine Realm.
"Create your own Divine Realm? Who do you think you are?"
"This is my Douluo Continent! I will never allow this to happen!"
"I'll go down to the lower realm myself and eradicate the Silver Dragon King!"
Tang San swept his Divine Sense across the Douluo Continent. He had left several strands of his Divine Sense there.
Whenever he needed to, he could interfere with events there even without using the Divine Realm Hub!
At that moment, Tang San tried to forcibly activate the Divine Sense he had left on Huo Yuhao and seize control of this child of destiny.
Just then, an ancient surge of Necromancy imbued with an aura of light appeared, blocking Tang San's attempt to control him through his Divine Sense.
"A mere strand of Divine Sense that hasn't even attained godhood dares to resist me? Do you really think I'm helpless without the Divine Realm Hub?"
Meanwhile, within the Body Sect.
Huo Yuhao, who had already advanced to Soul King, sat cross-legged.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, Electrolux held the Necromantic Staff as he faced off against a golden trident mark.
"Big bug, give this old man a hand," Electrolux said.
"Hmph, let's get one thing straight first. I'm doing this for Yuhao!" Although being called "big bug" by Electrolux every time infuriated the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Electrolux was stronger than him, so there was nothing he could do.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm transformed into a staff, which Electrolux gripped in his hand. Electrolux's spiritual power surged, actually suppressing the Golden Trident!
"Damn it! If not for that blasted God of Destruction, if I had the Divine Realm Hub, why would I need to go to all this trouble?"
Tang San was deeply displeased. For now, his only option was to rely on Tang Wutong.
"Although I don't know why I can't contact the Divine Sense on Dong'er, she should still be at Shrek Academy. Perhaps I can reconnect through the Golden Tree."
And so, Tang San once again connected to his Divine Sense on the Golden Tree.
He began scanning Shrek Academy and found that familiar figure within a few breaths.
But just as Tang San was about to possess Wang Dong'er, she vanished right before his eyes!
"Who?! Who is ruining my plans?!"
The last remnants of Tang San's patience were worn away.
"Who on earth keeps opposing me, again and again?!"
Just then, a voice Tang San thoroughly despised rang out.
"Sea God Tang San, do you still dare claim you haven't interfered with the lower realm?" At some point, the God of Destruction had appeared with the Seven Original Sin Gods.
"Now that the evidence is irrefutable, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Tang San dropped all pretense. The Asura Demon Sword appeared in his hand, and boundless, bloodthirsty killing intent surged outward.
"Destruction! When the great God Kings left, they entrusted the Divine Realm to me. What right do you have to condemn me?"
The God of Destruction sneered. The Destruction Scepter appeared in his hand, radiating an intense purple light. Its terrifying will of destruction made even the sky tremble.
"Then I'll be blunt as well. You, Tang San, are unworthy of ruling the Divine Realm!"
Meanwhile, Wang Dong'er, who had suddenly vanished from Shrek, had also arrived in the era of Legend of the Dragon King.
Unlike the others, however, she appeared in a plaza.
The plaza was a sea of people, seemingly listening to something.
Wang Dong'er followed the crowd's gaze. Sure enough, a tall, exceedingly handsome man in his thirties was explaining something on a platform.
Had Luo Chen been present, he would certainly have recognized the speaker on the platform as Zhen Hua, the only Divine Craftsman in the present-day Douluo Continent!
At that moment, Zhen Hua was merely explaining some basic knowledge.
As a result, those attending the lecture today were generally quite young, mostly around fourteen or fifteen.
Even so, people continued streaming in to listen.
After all, who wouldn't want guidance from a Divine Craftsman?
After explaining the basic theory, Zhen Hua began demonstrating what hundred refinement was.
Even during the demonstration, he continued offering guidance.
"Hundred refinement doesn't simply mean hammering something a hundred times. It's the first level of purification in introductory forging: through repeated high-temperature hammering and soul power vibrations, you remove impurities within the metal, compress its molecules, and improve its density and basic toughness..."
Wang Dong'er listened with rapt attention. The forging process that others could neither understand nor follow seemed to unfold in slow motion before her eyes.
Once Zhen Hua finished his demonstration, he asked, "Which of you would like to come up and give it a try?"
For a moment, the entire plaza fell silent.
After all, showing off one's forging before a Divine Craftsman was like brandishing a broadsword at Guan Yu's doorstep, wasn't it?
"I'd like to try."
Just then, a young girl's voice rang out.
Everyone turned to see an exceptionally beautiful girl walking toward the platform.
Zhen Hua noticed her as well and asked, "How long have you been studying forging?"
Wang Dong'er shook her head. "I've never studied it, but I'd like to try."
Zhen Hua had no objections. Normally, he wouldn't give this sort of introductory lecture, but the Blacksmith scheduled to teach today had been unexpectedly called away.
So, as president of the Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association, he had merely stepped in to fill the gap.
Following Zhen Hua's example, Wang Dong'er activated the Forging Table and selected her metal.
Just as Zhen Hua was wondering what sort of forging hammer Wang Dong'er would use.
A pink hammer suddenly appeared in Wang Dong'er's hand. Zhen Hua studied it thoughtfully.
At the same time, Wang Dong'er's hands had turned a translucent jade color. This was none other than the Tang Sect Secret Arts' Mysterious Jade Hand.
Gripping the Clear Sky Hammer, Wang Dong'er unleashed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Heavy, muffled blows rang out without pause. Wang Dong'er's hammering had a precise rhythm. Under the continuous blows, the entire piece of pig iron slowly expanded and contracted, its rough, uneven surface gradually becoming smooth.
To the onlookers, Wang Dong'er must have seemed to have practiced hundred refinement countless times.
But as a Divine Craftsman, Zhen Hua was certain that this girl was learning hundred refinement for the very first time!
Before long, a piece of superior hundred refinement metal was complete.
"Heaven truly favors our Blacksmith Association. To think that, at my age, I could still gain such a disciple."
Every time Mu Chen bragged about Tang Wulin in front of him, Zhen Hua was green with envy!
And that brat Luo Chen not only came to freeload food and drink every day, but kept refusing to become his disciple. He had milked Zhen Hua's instruction all the way to becoming an Eight-Star Saint Craftsman!
Now, this girl before him had talent on par with Tang Wulin's, perhaps even greater. Zhen Hua couldn't let this opportunity slip away!
"What's your name? Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Perhaps because Luo Chen had rejected him too many times, Zhen Hua actually sounded a little nervous.
The moment he said this, everyone was stunned! The Divine Craftsman was actually accepting a disciple!
But a moment later, Wang Dong'er's answer shocked them once again.
"My name is Wang Dong'er. I can become your disciple, but you have to help me find someone," Wang Dong'er said.
"Who are you looking for?" Zhen Hua said confidently. "I'm not bragging-no one on the entire continent would refuse me, Zhen Hua, a favor."
Except Luo Chen!
The next second, Wang Dong'er's words made Zhen Hua wisely shut his mouth.
"The person I'm looking for is called Luo Chen."
For a moment, Zhen Hua had no idea how to respond.
Luo Chen had gone to the Star Luo Empire. He wouldn't be back for at least six months, perhaps a year!
Surely he couldn't take this girl to the Star Luo Empire to find him?
That damned ***** Luo Chen! Why does he always have to work against me?!
