Douluo Continent: Simulating Douluo Dalu III, Trapping Tang San at Every Turn
He glanced up at the referee not far away, then at Gong Xi'er, and said, "We concede. Please give us the antidote."
Upon hearing the words "antidote," the entire audience was stunned, thinking that Gong Xi'er had used poison to defeat her opponent amidst the seven-colored light!
Many of the teams that came to observe and gather information started speculating. It turned out that the girl was skilled in using poison. This was very important information. They had to tell their teams to be careful when encountering her in the future.
In a corner of the audience, Tang San, who had secretly come to watch the battle, silently curled a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and sneered in his heart, "Can you use poison? Poison is your strength, but it is also your weakness. However, in front of me, you are not worthy to play with poison at all."
I really hope to fight you guys soon. I've been preparing aphrodisiacs for you for a long time, and I'm looking forward to seeing you play a multiplayer game in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
After letting out a few sinister laughs, Tang San stood up and silently left the audience seats, heading towards the exit of the Great Soul Arena.
On the arena, when she heard the captain of the Canghui Academy ask for an antidote, Gong Xi'er calmly said, "There is no antidote. You have been poisoned with a mental toxin, which will dissipate naturally in an hour and will not leave any harm in your bodies."
The mental toxin of the Demonic Eye Illusion Marten is colorless and invisible. Moreover, the toxin is not fatal and will dissipate on its own afterward. Therefore, Gong Xi'er never even considered developing an antidote. Besides, she doesn't understand pharmacology at all, so even if she wanted to develop an antidote, she would be powerless to do so.
After Gong Xi'er's voice faded, the referee's voice slowly rang out. "In this match, the Academy of the Gods Team versus the Canghui Academy Team, the winner is... the Academy of the Gods Team."
A cheer erupted from the arena, and on the stage, Gong Xi'er smiled slightly, lifted her foot, and slowly walked off the stage.
Gong Xi'er didn't go all out in this battle. Before she went on stage, Gong Yu had already instructed her to leave Canghui Academy to deal with the Shitrek Academy, so she only needed to teach them a lesson.
After stepping off the stage, surrounded by the other team members, Gong Yu and his group returned to the Academy of the Gods.
As afternoon approached, Gong Yu was preparing the materials needed to forge Soul-Forged Metal when Gong Lan came to report that Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had come to visit.
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu swallowed hard.
Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue —this is practically delivered to our doorstep; how can we refuse?
After putting down the materials in her hand, Gong Yu went directly to see Xue Qinghe.
Inside the reception room, Xue Qinghe dismissed everyone around him, and seeing this, Gong Yu also dismissed Gong Lan.
After that, only Xue Qinghe and Gong Yu remained in the reception room.
At this moment, Gong Yu finally spoke, "What, you still don't plan to show your true face?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe frowned, then with a thought, his body flashed with light, revealing the image of Qian Renxue.
Upon seeing Qian Renxue's image appear, Gong Yu asked, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly come to see me? Is there something you need?"
"I need your help?" Qian Renxue didn't hide anything and directly stated the purpose of her visit to Gong Yu.
"What favor?" Gong Yu said indifferently, "Besides, how can you be sure I'll help you? You know you're the daughter of my enemy."
Hearing Gong Yu's words, Qian Renxue immediately became indignant and said, "I don't care about the affairs of the previous generation, but since you've touched me, just tell me straight: do you want to take responsibility for me or not?"
"Are you planning to cling to me?" Gong Yu's lips twitched, feeling that he had been a bit hasty in dealing with Qian Renxue last time.
"Shouldn't we?" Qian Renxue retorted coldly.
"Uh..." Taken aback by the question, Gong Yu realized that Qian Renxue's words made sense and seemed to make sense. So he said, "Then tell me, what can I do to help you with?"
Seeing that Gong Yu's attitude had improved, Qian Renxue felt relieved and said, "Xue Ye wants to choose a consort for me, but he has taken a liking to the girls in your team, so you have to help me. I know that your Team of the Gods is led by you, and the girls all listen to you."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "As expected of the Spirit Hall's little angel, you got my information so quickly, and you even investigated everyone around me thoroughly."
He paused for a moment, then directly refused, "However, I refuse to help. My woman cannot go to the Eastern Palace with you to become the Crown Prince's consort, not even a fake one."
"Why?" Qian Renxue thought Gong Yu would agree, but she didn't expect him to refuse so decisively.
"There's no reason, I just disagree," Gong Yu said with a cold laugh. "If I had to give a reason, it would be that I'm not happy about it."
Qian Renxue still wanted to try to persuade Gong Yu, so she said, "I only need you to help me through this difficult time. Only your person is suitable to be my Crown Princess. Moreover, Xue Ye wants to restore relations with your Academy of the Gods. Having your person as my Crown Princess would be beneficial to your academy."
"It's to your advantage, isn't it?" Gong Yu said indifferently. "My Academy of the Gods doesn't care about those so-called benefits, and it doesn't bring me any personal advantage, so why should I help you?"
Chapter 177 Why Let a Lamb Delivered to Our Doorstep Go?
"What will it take for you to agree to help me?"
Qian Renxue was unsure about Gong Yu's personality, and even felt a little flustered when facing Gong Yu. This was partly because her father had indirectly caused the disaster in Blue Silver Village, which made her feel guilty, but more so because she didn't know why she was inexplicably afraid of Gong Yu.
That fear didn't originate from the heart; it seemed to seep from the blood.
Seeing that Gong Yu remained silent, she added, "I'll do anything for you, as long as you're willing to help me."
"You really would do anything I ask?" Gong Yu pinched his chin, staring intently at Qian Renxue, but in his heart he was thinking whether he should first trick Qian Renxue into giving him the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and as for who should be the Crown Princess, he could just let the Cat Girl do it.
Given Cat Girl's hatred for those human traffickers, once she gains power, she will use all her strength to eliminate those who have hurt her in the past. As for whether Xue Ye will agree to a Cat Girl marrying into the Eastern Palace, that's simple. Just have Bi Ji take Cat Girl as her goddaughter, and I don't believe Xue Ye would look down on this daughter-in-law.
When Gong Yu asked her this, Qian Renxue immediately changed her answer guiltily, saying, "As long as it doesn't violate my bottom line, doesn't violate my moral principles..."
However, before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, Gong Yu interrupted her, "Since I'm letting you do whatever you want, why are there so many preconditions? Now I have something for you to do."
A wicked smile curved Gong Yu's lips as he stood up, walked directly to Qian Renxue, and pressed himself against her.
"What do you want?" Startled by Gong Yu's close proximity, Qian Renxue instinctively leaned back, creating some distance between them. A mix of embarrassment, anger, and fear welled in her heart. She then said, "Just say it from a distance, I... I can hear you!"
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Didn't you say you'd agree to anything? I have something to tell you now, and to avoid being overheard, I can only speak to you up close."
He's quite adept at spouting nonsense with a straight face, but anyone who knows Gong Yu would be able to see through his ulterior motives.
"How could walls have ears? You have a soundproof Soul Tool..." Qian Renxue still didn't want Gong Yu to be so close, and tried her best to find an excuse to refuse his approach, but she was interrupted halfway through her sentence.
"You're being a bit long-winded." Gong Yu looked a little annoyed, then steeled himself and suddenly pressed Qian Renxue's hands onto the armrests of the seat.
"What... what are you going to do?" Qian Renxue's face became even more terrified.
"Didn't you already guess what I'm going to do?" Gong Yu smiled wickedly, thinking to himself, "This little lamb that's delivered itself to my doorstep, how can I let it go so easily?"
"No, I can do anything except that kind of thing... mmm!" Qian Renxue was only halfway through her sentence when she realized that Gong Yu had firmly stamped her mouth with his seal.
Qian Renxue struggled desperately, shaking her head, and finally broke free. Gong Yu then stamped her seal on her, leaving her breathless.
Breathing heavily, she looked at Gong Yu with a pleading expression, but Gong Yu clearly had no intention of stopping and pressed himself against her again.
After being stamped with a long seal again, she started breathing rapidly once more. Sensing that Gong Yu wanted to take the next step, she said weakly, "No... not here."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yu was taken aback. While it was exciting to be here, it wasn't really suitable for conducting business. So he smiled wickedly again and said, "Not here, right? Alright, come back with me."
After saying that, he didn't give Qian Renxue a chance to refuse. He immediately gave her a princess carry, then lightly tapped his foot, and a spatial wormhole appeared next to him. He carried Qian Renxue directly into it.
This was the second time Qian Renxue had witnessed Gong Yu's methods, yet it still shocked her. However, the thought of being attacked by Gong Yu again soon filled her with panic.
She gave Gong Yu a complicated look, then sighed heavily in her heart, thinking: Well, since there's been a first time, there will probably be many more in the future. Since I can't avoid it, I might as well not try to avoid it at all.
Angels, indulge yourselves!
As an angel of light, there was a moment when she felt a desire to fall.
In the small manor, a wormhole appeared out of thin air in Gong Yu's room, and then Gong Yu, carrying Qian Renxue, stepped out of the wormhole.
They put Qian Renxue on the bed.
Before long, the room was enveloped in intense heat.
Rapid breathing soon filled the room...
About three hours later, Qian Renxue leaned against Gong Yu's chest, feigning sleep, but slowly said, "What do you plan to do with me?"
The word "arrange" indicates that Qian Renxue has already submitted to Gong Yu, and therefore Gong Yu will take the lead and make all the arrangements. However, saying these two words also implies that Gong Yu will be responsible.
"What do you mean, how will you be arranged?" Gong Yu understood Qian Renxue's meaning, but pretended not to know.
"You've already done it, twice, aren't you going to admit it?" Hearing Gong Yu's words, Qian Renxue suddenly opened her eyes, which had been feigning sleep, and looked at Gong Yu with complicated emotions, saying with some indignation, "As a man, is this all the responsibility you have?"
"What responsibility do you want? You're the daughter of my enemy, what responsibility do I have to bear?" Gong Yu deliberately acted shamelessly, pretending to be righteous and self-righteous.
Upon hearing Gong Yu's words, Qian Renxue suddenly burst into tears, which startled Gong Yu.
"My father has been dead for over a decade. Do you still insist on pinning your hatred on me?" Qian Renxue said, wiping away her Blue Silver Village. "I do feel guilty about what my father did back then, but what does that have to do with me? I've already given you my whole self. What more do you want?"
"Stop, stop, stop. Stop with your fake tears. Angels aren't fragile, and angels don't die from losing someone," Gong Yu said irritably. "Just tell me straight, what do you want me to do?"
Gong Yu saw through her faking tears, so Qian Renxue simply stopped crying. But she said seriously, "I want you to let go of your hatred for my sake, is that alright?"
"Impossible. A true man should avenge his wrongs and vent his grievances. So the hatred in my heart can never be let go." Gong Yu gazed at Qian Renxue, then sighed, "However, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. Since your father is dead, I can spare your hatred for the Qian Family for your sake. But those culprits from back then must die."
"Can you please let Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo go?" Qian Renxue had already investigated and found out that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were involved in that incident back then. Although they were just accomplices, she knew that with Gong Yu's personality, he would definitely not let them go.
"Let them go? Do you think that's possible? If I let them go, how will I explain to the villagers of Blue Silver Village who died unjustly? Or will I have to use the lives of your Qian Family family to pay for it?" Gong Yu's face stiffened, and he pushed Qian Renxue away from him, then got up to dress.
Chapter 178 Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder
After getting dressed, Gong Yu left immediately.
But before leaving, he coldly tossed out a sentence: "You can leave on your own!"
After speaking, without looking at Qian Renxue's expression again, Gong Yu stepped into the wormhole that appeared.
Seeing Gong Yu's sudden change in attitude, Qian Renxue felt a pang of pain in her heart. She knew she shouldn't have said those words earlier; she had only saved Ju and Gui, the two Douluo, after all, those two were invaluable assets to the Spirit Hall. But she hadn't expected her words to have such a strong impact on Gong Yu.
She sighed heavily, got up to dress, and then left on her own.
Unfortunately, the important business we were supposed to get done today will probably just fall through.
Meanwhile, Gong Yu returned to the Academy of the Gods feeling refreshed and then plunged headfirst into becoming a blacksmith.
He had already prepared all the metal materials recently, and it was time to begin Soul Forging.
Gong Yu sat down cross-legged, first adjusting her own state.
About half an hour later, he recovered to his best condition. Just as he stood up, he noticed that Gong Xiao was coming in from outside.
Gong Yu had notified her to come half an hour ago, wanting her to observe the Soul Forging process. She had recently advanced to Spirit Forging, and even the Fusion Forging Metal needed for the Two-Word Battle Armor was forged by herself; Gong Yu had only designed and manufactured it for her.
Approaching, Gong Xiao playfully sniffed the air before finally smelling Gong Yu and saying, "You smell like a woman, but isn't it our sisterly scent? Young master, tell me honestly, what were you doing earlier?"
Gong Yu grinned and said, "If you misbehave again, I'll come to your room tonight."
"Really?" Gong Xiao's eyes gleamed with anticipation. She wondered if the young master meant that tonight was finally her turn.
Gong Yu lightly kissed Gong Yu Gong Xiao's forehead and said, "Leave the door open for me tonight. Now, just watch from the sidelines in peace. This is a rare opportunity; I'm about to undergo Soul Forging."
Gong Yu had already grasped the threshold of Soul Forging. Back then, he used Half-Step Soul Forging Fusion Forging Metal to make his Two-Word Battle Armor. After obtaining his Sixth Soul Ring, the Golden Dragon King opened another Blood Essence Soul Ring, and his strength was sufficient. Therefore, advancing to Soul Forging was no problem for him now.
Gong Xiao nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I will observe carefully."
Seeing this, Gong Yu smiled slightly and then picked up a piece of rare metal from the side.
Since it was his first time undergoing Soul Forging, Gong Yu didn't want to be too accommodating. So, although the metal he took was rare, it was a metal that naturally contained both lightning and fire attributes.
Metals that inherently possess two properties are naturally refined by the energy of heaven and earth, and their greatest use is as a medium.
Metals like this allow any metal to achieve the highest possible affinity with each other.
In other words, even with the same Spirit Alloy, the addition of this rare metal will ensure that the alloy, regardless of the number of metals forged together, achieves 100% fusion, which will significantly reduce the difficulty of Fusion Forging.
Gong Yu's goal in Soul Forging is no longer just about Soul Forging a single metal, but about Soul Forging Fusion Forging. Therefore, the metal that inherently possesses two attributes is invaluable.
The metal in front of me appeared fiery red, but inside there were strands of purple like silk threads.
Red represents fire, and purple represents thunder. The fusion of red and purple evokes the Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder. This is the name of this metal, which possesses both fire and thunder elements and perfectly blends the two together.
It is compatible with all other metals and can fuse with any metal to become part of it.
This metal, because of its rarity, was incredibly precious even in an era when the forging industry was still in its infancy.
He straightened "Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder" and placed it in the center of the forging table. Gong Yu did not rush to start forging or burn it first. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes and used his Spiritual Power to sense it.
Spiritual Power, almost tangible, surrounded and covered "Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder," silently sensing its metallic properties and its own vitality.
Perceiving it through Spiritual Power is completely different from seeing it with the naked eye. In the world of Spiritual Power, this "Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder" is actually full of vitality.
It's like naturally forged Spirit-Forged Metal, exuding an aura of life, which means that this metal originally had a state similar to that after Spirit Forging.
Upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that the internal structure of "Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder" is both very stable and highly active.
The perfect fusion of lightning and fire elements, without the slightest flaw, made Gong Yu marvel once again at the wonders of nature.
The fire and lightning elements within metals are intertwined and mutually reinforcing, yet they maintain their own inherent laws of operation, constantly altering their fluctuating structure.
His years of forging experience told him that if he understood the dynamics of the elements within a metal like this, forging would be very smooth.
However, without understanding the laws governing the elements, even Hundred Refinement or Thousand Refinement will be incredibly difficult, let alone Soul Forging.
However, grasping the operating rules of the elements within is not a simple matter, and Gong Yu knew he couldn't do it.
However, not being able to do that doesn't mean he can't forge. Since he can't grasp the rules, he won't try to. As long as he helps them generate fixed operating rules, that will be enough to support his forging.
So Gong Yu unleashed his Spiritual Power, swirling and revolving around the Metal and Water Encompassing Each Other, enveloping them, constantly pulsating and penetrating them, attempting to exert some influence on them.
Before long, a layer of red and purple halo began to appear on the surface of the dazzling "Blazing Fire Roaring Thunder". The halo was like mist and then began to fluctuate.
