"I get it! I get it! So this is what forging truly is!"
Lou Gao wanted to start forging with rare metals right then and there.
Unfortunately, most of the rare metals on the Douluo Continent were in the hands of Spirit Hall.
"If only I hadn't joined that lousy Tang Sect! Joining Spirit Hall would've been so much better."
Lou Gao began regretting having listened to Tang San's poisonous lies and made those shitty Hidden Weapons!
It was simply a waste of metal! The Tang Sect understood Hidden Weapons, but knew nothing about forging!
Meanwhile, inside Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu watched Luo Chen explain the forging process.
Although he could not understand it, he quickly realized that the ones who would influence the war against the two empires might very well be those Blacksmiths!
He immediately gave an order. "Send people to Gengxin City and bring all those Blacksmiths here."
Golden Crocodile Douluo was just about to carry out the order when he suddenly remembered something and spoke up.
"Big Brother, some people from the Tang Sect appeared in Gengxin City a while ago. They seem to have taken Divine Craftsman Lou Gao away."
"What?" Qian Daoliu spun around.
The Spirit Hall Empire's strength had now increased greatly. Conquering the two empires was only a matter of time.
But if Divine Craftsman Lou Gao truly grasped the secrets of forging, it would deliver a crushing hammer blow to the Spirit Hall Empire!
"Send people into Heaven Dou City immediately and bring Divine Craftsman Lou Gao back."
At this point, Qian Daoliu paused, then changed his mind.
"No, I'll go myself! I will not allow anything unexpected to happen to the Spirit Hall Empire!"
At the same time, in the era of Peerless Tang Sect.
Inside Mingde Hall, Jing Hongchen paced back and forth. "Forging metals?"
"Could this be what our Mecha are missing?"
The hall master of Mingde Hall hesitated no longer. "Go, post notices all over Mingdu. Say that Mingde Hall needs a batch of Blacksmiths."
"I refuse to believe it! With all the rare metals we have in Mingde Hall, how could we fail to learn forging?"
"My Mecha army! It's finally going to become a reality!"
On the Sky Screen, after briefly introducing forging, Luo Chen began preparing to forge.
Hundred Refinement purified, Thousand Refinement elevated, Spirit Forging nurtured life, and Soul Forging cast a soul. All four processes had already been completed.
(The author did his best. I really don't know how to write the forging process, so let's simplify it a little.)(•̀ᴗ-)✧
Next came the final hurdle a Blacksmith had to overcome to enter the realm of Divine Craftsmen: Heavenly Forging!
Outside the Sky Screen, Lou Gao had watched everything and committed the entire process to memory.
He had devoted his entire life to forging. Now that he had an opportunity to advance further, how could he possibly let it slip by?
He wished he could rush into the forging room and shut himself away for seven days and seven nights!
The problem was that all the rare metals the Tang Sect currently had in reserve had been hauled off to make Hidden Weapons!
"That son of a ***** Tang San tricked me into coming here, and he doesn't even have any rare metals!"
"I'd be better off joining Spirit Hall. I just don't know how many rare metals they'd give me!"
Just as Lou Gao finished cursing, a sacred voice filled with majesty rang out beside his ear.
"Divine Craftsman Lou Gao, as long as you are willing to join Spirit Hall, you will have all the rare metals you could want. Furthermore, Spirit Hall will raise your cultivation to that of a Titled Douluo."
Luo Chen had made it very clear when introducing forging earlier: the more powerful the forging, the higher the cultivation and spiritual power required.
With Spirit Hall's ten thousand years of accumulated resources, using medicine to build someone up into a Titled Douluo would be no difficult task, especially since they had already occupied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Who are you? Can you keep your word? Isn't Bibi Dong the pope of Spirit Hall? Will she listen to you?"
Lou Gao had no idea who was speaking, so he could only address the empty air.
"I am Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall!"
As Qian Daoliu's words fell, a figure appeared silently inside the Tang Sect.
"Qian Daoliu? That Peerless Douluo?" Lou Gao had spent some time in the Tang Sect and knew a little about Spirit Hall's situation.
"Indeed. I keep my word. Spirit Hall's resources will be yours to use!" Qian Daoliu said.
"All right! I'll leave the Tang Sect and join Spirit Hall!" Lou Gao said without hesitation.
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to take Lou Gao away from Heaven Dou City, the words "Tang Sect" on the plaque before him stood out with particular brilliance.
"The Tang Sect. What a fine Tang Sect!"
"Since Tang San is dead, there is no need for your Tang Sect to exist either."
The Angel Holy Sword appeared in Qian Daoliu's hand, and a blast of Angel Judgment descended upon the Tang Sect.
If Tang San ever traveled back from the Dragon King era, he would discover that the Tang Sect he had worked so hard to establish had vanished.
And, thinking that he might as well since he was already there, Qian Daoliu
sent another blast of Angel Judgment toward Shrek Academy.
Meanwhile, on the Sky Screen, Luo Chen infused one element after another into the metal.
The powers of seven elements-earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, and space-intertwined within the metal.
Luo Chen fully unleashed the spiritual domain at his brow, used his spiritual power to communicate with the plane laws, and burned a trace of his own origin blood essence as a catalyst to draw upon plane power.
In an instant, the winds and clouds around Luo Chen and the others changed dramatically.
Masses of seven-colored tribulation clouds gathered endlessly above Luo Chen's head.
Heavenly might originating from the plane poured down, making the entire mountain peak shake violently beneath its pressure.
Had Gu Yuena not joined forces with all the Ferocious Beasts to conceal the entire space, that disturbance alone would likely have drawn powerful figures from the Star Luo Empire.
Within the clouds, the first thick bolt of seven-colored lightning tore through the cloud layer with a thunderous crash. Carrying the power of laws capable of shattering all things, it struck straight at the metal on the Forging Table.
Luo Chen released his Devouring Ancestral Talisman martial soul, drawing most of the lightning tribulation's power into his own body and directing only a small portion onto the metal.
Moreover, when the Devouring Ancestral Talisman devoured the seven-colored tribulation lightning, it could replenish Luo Chen's expended spiritual power and soul power!
The metal trembled violently beneath the lightning strikes. The metal's soul spirit within let out a long, joyful cry as the laws of the seven elements followed the lightning's patterns and branded themselves deep into the metal.
Nourished by the laws, the original metal soul gave birth to a faint trace of divinity.
The second bolt of lightning, the third bolt... descended one after another.
An eternal, unchanging, soft seven-colored glow flowed across the metal. Without any soul power to activate it, it naturally released a faint aura of plane laws.
"Did it work?" Although Gu Yue did not understand forging, she had some understanding of laws.
The metal on the Forging Table now united spirituality, soul power, and laws as one. It could be considered true heavenly forging divine gold!
Over the next few days, Luo Chen devoted almost all his time to forging.
Even so, he only managed to forge half a set of Four-Word Battle Armor.
The following day, Luo Chen headed out early with Gu Yue.
But he did not forge that day. Instead, he planned to visit someone.
Tomorrow was the day the Five Gods' Duel would begin.
The first battle would naturally be a Mecha battle.
Luo Chen did not know how to pilot a Mecha, so he planned to seek outside help.
After all, the rules only said that he had to use a Mecha. They never said he had to pilot it himself.
Don't forget, the Douluo Continent's number-one Mecha pilot was part of Shrek's Diplomatic Mission this time.
You're saying Divine Mecha aren't allowed in a Mecha battle?
Sorry, the rules are in the hands of the strong.
If you disagree, I'll sink Star Luo City! I live in Mingdu anyway.
