Douluo Continent: Reborn Yuhao, their eyes are strange

Chapter 252 Why Has Sister Tianmeng Become So Clumsy?

Chapter 252 Why Has Sister Tianmeng Become So Clumsy?

Huo Yuhao thought for a moment and did not refuse.

He accepted the two forging hammers and bowed respectfully to Chang Gongyan: "Since it is your kind intention, senior, then I will respectfully accept your offer."

The special properties of the gold crystal forging hammer made it extremely easy for him to use.

If it weren't for the need to avoid being too horrifying, he would have been confident that he could have simultaneously drawn upon the power of nine different elements during the forging process, given the golden crystal forging hammer's excellent affinity with the elements.

Seeing Huo Yuhao readily accept the gift, Chang Gongyan's smile grew even more genuine. He stroked his beard with satisfaction, turned to the audience, and announced loudly:

"This forging exchange has now come to a successful conclusion. I hope that all of you have learned something from it."

After saying that, he gestured to the staff behind the stage before turning around and extending an invitation to Huo Yuhao with a warm expression.

"Young man, if you don't have anything urgent to attend to, why don't you come to my office and we can have a proper chat?"

The meaning behind this invitation is self-evident.

Huo Yuhao understood; this was one of the purposes of his trip. So he calmly nodded and replied simply, "Alright, thank you for leading the way, senior."

Seeing this, Chang Gongyan was overjoyed and personally led Huo Yuhao toward the door on the side of the stage, completely shutting out the increasingly heated discussions behind them.

……

By the time Huo Yuhao left the Forging Masters Association, it was nearly dusk.

The sunset painted the sky a magnificent orange-red, gilding the entire skyline of Xingluo City with a warm golden edge.

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, Tianmeng, who had regained her human form, was idly poking Axie's soft cat face with her finger, while a clear voice rang in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"Yuhao, why didn't you agree to that old man's offer? When you rejected him, his old face was practically contorted in a grimace, and he was practically drooling!"

Tianmeng saw everything clearly. Just now in the office, Chang Gongyan first tried to subtly probe Huo Yuhao, but when he saw that Huo Yuhao was unmoved, he practically had the words "Come and be my apprentice" written all over his face.

The implication was that he was practically guaranteeing Huo Yuhao that if he became Huo Yuhao's apprentice, with his talent, he would become an eighth-level Saint Craftsman in less than ten years.

At that time, the master and apprentice joined forces to pull his senior brother, who was in seclusion seeking to break through to the Divine Craftsman realm, down from the position of president, and immediately draped Huo Yuhao in the yellow robe of the president of the Star Luo City Blacksmith Association.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply shook his head and silently responded in his mind:

"I naturally understood what Vice President Chang Gong meant, but if I'm not mistaken, what we're about to do will soon lead to us being wanted by the entire Star Luo Empire."

At this point, he paused suddenly, as if organizing his thoughts, before adding, "Given that this situation was bound to happen, I naturally couldn't become his disciple; otherwise, I would only implicate him in the future."

Fortunately, Vice President Chang Gong has agreed to register us for the upcoming Soul Master Competition under the name of the Star Luo Empire Forging Academy, which is enough.

As for his kindness, I'll find a way to repay him if there's an opportunity in the future.

"Wanted? That's implicated!"

Tianmeng's voice instantly rose several pitches, filled with surprise, followed by a deep sense of doubt:

"Wait a minute, what exactly is hidden in that so-called Divine Examination Ground? Why is it wanted by the authorities?"

Huo Yuhao's lips twitched involuntarily, feeling a mixture of amusement and helplessness.

I don't understand why Sister Tianmeng, who is usually quite clever, has become a bit silly at times like this.

"Sister Tianmeng, sometimes the answer lies in the question itself. The name of the Divine Trial Ground is 'Temple of the God of War,' isn't that simple and easy to understand?"

This is an obvious hint.

Speaking of which, during the final battle in the God Realm, I personally broke Dai Mubai's limbs.

If Zhu Zhuqing hadn't arrived in time, I probably would have kicked Dai Mubai's head like a ball.

However, Huo Yuhao was more curious about something else.

Aside from the God of Love, whose exact identity he still cannot guess, located in the Valley of Love and Destiny, there are other places of divine trials that are currently circulating in the Douluo Continent.

For example, the sacred forbidden land of the Holy Angel Family, the unnamed divine examination ground of Shrek Academy, and so on, plus the War God Temple of the Star Luo Empire...

He was genuinely curious about how those gods in the God Realm survived the spacetime turbulence that swept through the entire God Realm and managed to return to the Douluo Plane.

However, there's no need to dwell on these questions too much.

Once we officially enter the Temple of War, all the mysteries will surely be revealed.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of the Forging Masters Association, in the vice president's office.

Chang Gongyan stood with his hands behind his back in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, watching the white-haired boy's receding figure below, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

He turned around and looked at his disciple, who was calmly sipping tea, his expression full of confusion.

"Yuhan, tell me the truth, isn't my status as an eighth-level Saint Craftsman, plus my position as vice president, enough to be his teacher?"

Lin Yuhan took a sip of her tea and calmly said:

"Teacher, that's why I said before that Lingbing himself is like a piece of high-quality blue copper."

What you need to do is not to forcibly change its form, but to solidify its characteristics first, so that the active elements inside can exhibit a regular and stable divergent state...

Seeing her beloved disciple start talking eloquently again, she was completely different from the girl who had been engrossed in drinking tea when Huo Yuhao was present.

Chang Gongyan was also a little confused for a moment. Was his disciple in love with the boy named Ling Bing at first sight, or did he simply see him as a potential partner and want to "forge" him into the shape he wanted?

He could only shake his head again, sighing inwardly that perhaps he really was getting old.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the library of the Star Luo Empire Forging Academy.

Students passing by the reading area on the right would subconsciously slow their pace and hold their breath.

As if unwilling to disturb the tranquil scene by the window, composed of sunlight, books, and a white-haired boy.

Huo Yuhao rubbed his slightly swollen temples and let out a long breath to relieve the mental fatigue caused by his brain working so hard.

In the past two weeks, I have relied on my tangible yet intangible spiritual power.

He memorized almost every book in the library of the forging academy that was open to the public and available for borrowing.

Although the academy is named after forging, its knowledge system actually covers all aspects of soul tool forging, design, production, and repair.

From Huo Yuhao's perspective, this was a true Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao had already benefited greatly from spending just half a month in the library.

Through the continuous development and efforts of dozens of generations, the design concept of soul tools has been innovated and countless ingenious ideas have been born.

Even Huo Yuhao had to admit the uniqueness of many of its designs.

Admittedly, given his level of cultivation at the time, the soul tools he casually crafted in the God Realm, if classified according to the grades of those in the lower realms, would undoubtedly have reached level thirteen or even higher in terms of damage output.

But that was just a trick. It relied on the inexhaustible divine metals contained in the divine realm, and used immortal spiritual energy as the driving force. It was a brute force that disregarded costs.

Lin Yuhan, who was walking slowly from the other side, paused for a moment when her gaze fell on the table next to the boy.

On the large table, besides the open books, there were also many exquisitely packaged snacks and drinks, clearly a "feeding" from the admirers.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuhan's lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

She subtly straightened her school uniform before walking over to the empty chair next to Huo Yuhao and sitting down, her voice carrying a hint of teasing that she herself was unaware of.

"Lingbing, it seems you're quite popular in our academy."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao closed the book titled "Battle Armor Should Be Like This" in his hand, put it aside, and showed a gentle yet slightly helpless smile on his face.

"Senior Yuhan, please stop joking with me."

He glanced at the pile of "love-filled feedings" again and sighed.

"If it weren't for your help last time, I'm afraid I would be stuck at the door right now and wouldn't even be able to get into the library."

Even now, when Huo Yuhao thinks back on it, he still feels a chill run down his spine.

He simply couldn't understand how the social atmosphere ten thousand years later could have become so straightforward and bold.

On his first visit to the college, while he was walking on the main road, he was surrounded by several enthusiastic female students who confessed their love to him on the street.

The way they acted was no different from them wanting to devour him alive.

If Lin Yuhan hadn't happened to be beside him and stepped in to help him out of the predicament...

Huo Yuhao had no doubt that he would receive more confessions of love in the next two weeks than he had in both of his lifetimes combined.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuhan's smile deepened, and she shook her head.

"If anyone should say thank you, it should be me thanking you. Your casual words of advice have helped me solve many problems in my spiritual practice."

At this moment, a soft light shone in Lin Yuhan's light blue eyes, revealing her undisguised appreciation and admiration.

The young man before us not only displayed a talent that could be described as a miracle in forging, but his talent as a Soul Master was also astonishing.

What she found most incredible was that he had extremely profound insights into many areas such as the design, manufacture, and repair of mechs.

According to the teacher, Ling Bing's few design ideas for new mechs, which she casually mentioned, even sparked a heated discussion among the top-level level nine mech designers in the academy.

Such a genius, who excels in every field, is, in today's popular parlance, a true "master of brilliance," leaving no room for anyone else to survive.

After all, over the course of ten thousand years of development, in pursuit of greater efficiency and professionalism, the originally complex Soul Master teaching system has long been refined and broken down.

Human energy is ultimately limited. Those who can simultaneously excel in both Soul Master cultivation and Soul Master research, and achieve outstanding results in both, are already extremely rare.

Furthermore, the learning and production of both battle armor and mecha inevitably require the personal participation of the Soul Master.

Therefore, teamwork, with each person responsible for a specific module, has become the mainstream approach today.

Although the Soul Master system has been broken down, in reality, the knowledge in each branch is interconnected and indispensable.

Mech repairmen need to master the relevant knowledge of design and manufacturing. Mech designers must consider the actual manufacturing process and material issues when they are having a wild imagination. Similarly, mech manufacturers must have a deep understanding of the essence of design.

As for the blacksmith, he is the foundation of all of this. He must have a thorough understanding of the properties of various metals and how to combine them to achieve the best results.

Huo Yuhao looked at Lin Yuhan's smile and steered the conversation back on track: "However, Senior Yuhan came to see me specifically today, so it can't just be to talk about these things, right?"

Seeing that he brought up serious matters, Lin Yuhan's expression also became serious. Her originally relaxed brows furrowed slightly, and her voice lowered a few decibels.

"After my teacher, through the Imperial Forging Academy, registered you for the Soul Master Competition, someone from the royal family contacted him, specifically requesting to meet you."

She hesitated for a moment, a hint of worry in her voice:

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be at the Blacksmith's Guild by now. Lingbing, I hope this won't have any negative consequences for you?"

Although she was familiar with some people and things about the Star Luo Royal Family because of her teacher's connections, Lin Yuhan was not unfamiliar with them.

But she also understood that getting involved with these powerful figures was never a simple matter.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao simply shook his head calmly. Just as he was about to say something, his communication soul tool vibrated slightly.

Upon taking it out and looking at it, a message from Chang Gongyan popped up on the Soul Guidance Screen.

[Chang Gongyan: Lingbing, come to my office. Remember, don't let that girl Yuhan come along.]

Upon seeing this message, Huo Yuhao felt a slight twitch at the corner of his eye and a minor headache.

Especially now, having to face Lin Yuhan's eyes filled with curiosity.

After a moment's thought, he decided to turn the screen of his communication soul tool directly towards Lin Yuhan.

Lin Yuhan's gaze fell on the screen, and the moment she saw the words, her brows furrowed even more.

The next second, she let out a very soft moan and turned her head to the side.

"Hmph, if they won't let me go, I won't go. It's not like I'd really want to travel that far!"
