Lou Gao couldn't understand how Qi Ling could turn a pile of materials into so many complex and exquisite parts overnight. Even the most skilled blacksmith would have taken at least three months to do it!
"You..." Lou Gao said, frowning, " Qi Ling, you wouldn't happen to know magic, would you?"
"That's about it, Senior Lou Gao, don't worry about it so much," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Now let's assemble this thing."
There's another reason why Qi Ling isn't afraid of secretly learning from Lou Gao: when assembling Gundam, there's one more essential element—fire!
This kind of fire is no ordinary fire; it must be the Dragon Flame spewed by the Dragon Clan that has lived for a long enough period of time! And you can imagine how difficult it is to get a Dragon Clan that is over 100,000 years old to willingly become your furnace.
For Qi Ling, this was not a difficult task, because he could breathe fire himself, and it was Dragon Flame of extremely high purity.
Lou Gao could only stare in disbelief as Qi Ling spewed fire while joining two or more parts together, creating a final product that was even stronger than the original!
Lou Gao, standing nearby, was also a skeptical person. He simply couldn't believe that so many materials couldn't be melted by ordinary flames.
In the end, Lou Gao had to admit defeat. He had tried all kinds of flames, and no matter how high the temperature of these flames was, they could not melt these materials, or even deform them.
This also shows just how strong and unshakeable these materials are. According to Lou Gao's estimate, materials of this strength are enough to withstand attacks from Titled Douluo level.
" Qi Ling, your research on something like this could really turn the world upside down!" Lou Gao exclaimed in awe as he looked at the Gundam gradually taking shape.
"If I'm not mistaken, this thing of yours can absorb spiritual energy from the space to replenish its own power, and it also has backup energy, enough to support a major battle!"
"More importantly, almost anyone with Soul Power can operate this machine! This is simply unimaginable. With this, even a One-Ring Soul Master could fight against Titled Douluo!"
Qi Ling smiled slowly and said, "Yes, Senior Lou Gao, you're right. However, the quantity of these things is destined to be limited. The materials I have are only enough to make three at most!"
"Furthermore, the production of this thing takes too much time and has too high requirements, making it simply not worthwhile! Otherwise, if we only used this thing, the Divine Court would be in deep trouble."
Lou Gao nodded in agreement. Half a month had passed, and the Gundam was only one-third assembled. This speed was indeed too slow.
Furthermore, this is something only Qi Ling can do, or rather, he is indispensable. Given so much time, how strong can Qi Ling become on his own?
It took nearly another month for Qi Ling to finally assemble the Gundam. Although it took him a month and a half and countless materials and efforts, looking at the tall and majestic Gundam in front of him, Qi Ling felt a great sense of pride.
After all, what boy hasn't dreamed of owning his own robot when he was a child?
"Oh dear, this is truly a perfect life! It's just a pity there's nowhere for me to test drive it," Qi Ling said with a hint of regret. "After all, this kind of thing is best kept as a secret weapon; we can't let others know about it beforehand."
Looking at the nearly thirty-meter-tall behemoth in front of him, Lou Gao nearby, couldn't help but exclaim, "Kid, just for this thing alone, calling you a master craftsman wouldn't be an exaggeration!"
"Haha, Senior Lou Gao, you're really joking. I can't do that, I'm far from it," Qi Ling laughed. "Alright, so much time has passed already, I think we should go out and get some exercise."
After storing the Gundam in a specially made storage ring, Qi Ling went outside and, after some inquiries, finally found everyone at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
At this moment, everyone was listening to the Grandmaster and Sword Douluo explain about Sea God Island to them. Qi Ling immediately became interested after hearing the name!
Is it finally here? Sea God Island... I'm finally about to come into contact with the most powerful forces in this world!
Previously, when he was in Dragon Valley undergoing the test for the Dragon God Inheritance, the little Xiaolong had given him a dragon-shaped key. However, after returning to this world, Qi Ling has been unable to find a way to use the key.
Now that I think about it, since there's Godhood Inheritance on Sea God Island, could it be that someone else also knows how to use my key?
As the Grandmaster explained the Sea Soul Master of Sea God Island and the various dangers there, everyone felt a surge of longing. They were even more astonished when they heard that there was a Limit Douluo on Sea God Island.
"So there are other Limit Douluo in this world? I thought there was only Qian Daoliu from the Divine Court," Tang San said in surprise.
Ma Hongjun then asked Qi Ling, " Boss Qi, if you were to face Limit Douluo now, could you defeat him?"
Qi Ling pondered, "It's hard to say. If it's just a simple contest, I might not be a match for him, but if it's a fight to the death, I'm sure I won't be the one who dies."
A Soul Saint actually said that if he fought desperately, he could definitely defeat Limit Douluo. If it were someone else, no one would believe it, but since these words came from Qi Ling, not only the Shrek Academy members, but even the Sword Douluo thought it was very likely.
The Grandmaster then said, " Qi Ling, don't be careless. You must know that at the Limit Douluo level, one can completely turn the surrounding power into one's own. The Limit Douluo on Sea God Island cannot be judged by ordinary standards."
Qi Ling laughed and said, "Don't worry, Grandmaster, we're not going to fight them. We're going to cultivate! Why would we want to fight them for no reason?"
" Qi Ling, you must not be careless on this trip," the Grandmaster said. " Sea God Island is not a place that can be judged by common sense. Even the Sea God Island Divine Court suffered losses there and gained nothing."
Qi Ling nodded in agreement. Indeed, the power of that place was not something she could fully comprehend; it belonged to the gods. If she didn't take it seriously enough, she might suffer a great loss.
Before heading to Sea God Island, everyone naturally needed to make some preparations. This trip wasn't just for Tang San and Qi Ling; after all, it was a rare opportunity, and naturally, the more people who went, the better.
"In that case, I'll accompany Xiao San back to the Clear Sky Sect first, and then I'll go see Uncle Hao," Qi Ling said. "We don't know how long the journey to Sea God Island will take, so it's best to finish what needs to be done first."
Back at the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao and the elders looked at Tang San's two bright red Soul Ring and didn't know what to say.
"Also, elders, we've delivered on our promise of ten Titled Douluo heads from the Divine Court," Qi Ling said with a smile. "However, there's no actual stock, so please consider it as if you've already received them."
The elders of the Clear Sky Sect naturally believed Qi Ling's statement, because even they, who were as closed off as they were, had heard about what Dragon's Glory had done over the years; taking the heads of ten Titled Douluo was indeed no big deal for him.
"As for the last condition, becoming Titled Douluo," Qi Ling said, "I reckon it'll be soon! Please, elders, wait a little longer."
