Chapter 224 Assassination (Please subscribe!!!)

Chang Gongyan looked on incredulously.

He watched as Xu Yuan began to fuse the blue copper and spirit crystal.

The fusion forging after spirit forging is more difficult than starting fusion forging at the first grade of thousand forging. It requires a higher level of control over power, but it is also simpler because the spirit forged metal has a richer spirituality.

Instead of forging the jade and silver that he was most skilled at, Xu Yuan forged blue crystal. The blue copper was chosen by Lin Yuhan, while the spirit crystal was chosen by Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan had previously worked on the fusion and forging of two rare metals and had even practiced it for a period of time. Although he had never forged a divine alloy, he had achieved a fusion rate of 94%.

With each strike of Xu Yuan's hammer, the spirituality of the two pieces of spirit-forged metal merged more and more.

Using his spirit as a guide, the two pieces of metal were influenced by Xu Yuan's spirit during the spirit forging process. Now, using him as a catalyst, the fusion process is progressing very smoothly.

In addition, Xu Yuan was familiar with both metals, and was able to gradually expand the fused part after finding the point of compatibility.

With each hammer blow, the two pieces of metal finally fused together.

boom!

A resonant sound echoed throughout the hall as Xu Yuan's final hammer blow landed.

On the forging table, a perfectly fused blue crystal rests quietly.

"Ninety percent integration rate!"

Zhenhua stepped forward, tested the instruments, and gave his conclusion.

This was Xu Yuan's first attempt at fusion forging after spirit forging. Achieving a fusion rate of 90% was already an extraordinary performance, considering that his previous fusion rates of 94% were at the first grade of thousand-forging, and he had even used the Heaven and Earth Furnace Technique.

This time, relying entirely on forging skills, he successfully fused blue-coated copper and spirit crystals of the spirit forging level on his first attempt, with a fusion rate as high as 90%, which was truly an extraordinary performance.

Zhenhua looked at Chang Gongyan.

"Is this blacksmith from the Star Luo Continent convinced?"

Just a few hours ago, this Chang Gongyan was spouting nonsense at the Forging Masters Association. Even Zhen Hua, who was skilled in self-cultivation, was somewhat annoyed. Now that Xu Yuan had come to the rescue and shocked the other party with his fusion forging technique, he naturally had to make sarcastic remarks.

"We lost." Chang Gongyan's eyes also dimmed.

He never imagined that there was such a monstrous genius on the mainland.

Lin Yuhan stared at the boy with a strange light in her eyes.

In the field of forging, are there really geniuses even more outstanding than me?

Lin Yuhan thought she was the strongest genius in forging on the Star Luo Continent, but she never expected that when she arrived on the Douluo Continent, a single challenge would reveal a genius who was far stronger than her.

This is not bragging.

At her current age, she is already a level 5 blacksmith, capable of spirit forging. With the experience gained from training step by step, she is expected to attempt soul forging before the age of 25.

Lin Yuhan is not only a forging genius, but she has also never neglected soul power cultivation. It is highly likely that she will achieve soul forging before the age of thirty. After that, she can fully expect to become an eighth-level saint craftsman by accumulating experience over a period of time.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, her future is destined to be dazzling.

Even a master craftsman might be someone she could challenge.

Of course, this is all under the premise that everything goes smoothly and her forging will not be stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through.

But it also speaks to her talent.

Not only compared to the entire Star Luo Continent, but also within the Douluo Continent, he is one of the top forging geniuses.

The blacksmiths in the Blacksmiths' Association breathed a sigh of relief.

Both Chang Gongyan and his younger brother looked dazed.

At that moment, without any warning, a crimson light flew out from the side of Chang Gongyan's neck and instantly reached Zhenhua.

This crimson light came too suddenly, without any warning. Even someone with Zhenhua's cultivation level wouldn't have predicted it.

In an instant, the scarlet light brought them right in front of their faces.

However, Xu Yuan was already on guard.

In that instant, a ball of silver light appeared in his hand.

A flash of silver light, and Zhenhua vanished.

The crimson light shot rapidly into the crowd. At that moment, a large hand reached out and grabbed the crimson light, which was clearly a rapier. The rapier disappeared the instant it was caught by the large hand.

It was Makino who grabbed the rapier.

Makino's face was grim. He snorted coldly and then chased after the enemy.

Zhenhua was furious and unleashed his four-word battle armor.

An imposing aura rose from his body, a dazzling red light burst forth, and a powerful pressure instantly covered the entire hall.

Zhenhua seemed to collapse inwards for a moment, and then his whole body was covered by magnificent battle armor. The terrifying aura made the entire Blacksmith Association building tremble.

"Don't even move!"

Zhenhua shouted sharply, and his soul power surged out, most of which was concentrated on Chang Gongyan.

This was definitely a premeditated assassination.

If Xu Yuan hadn't made preparations in advance, Zhenhua would definitely not have been able to dodge that attack.

Without the protection of the four-word battle armor, Zhenhua's raw strength is still quite weak; at the very least, he can't guarantee that he can withstand that attack.

At his level, one would have a sudden impulse before encountering danger, but just now he felt nothing at all. It wasn't just because it was too fast, but also because the opponent was so powerful that any trace of their attack was concealed, and even their mind could be blocked.

Such a killer's unleashed attack would surely be fatal.

Four-character battle armor.

This is a four-word battle armor that Zhenhua crafted for himself. It is made of Heavenly Forged Metal, but the internal magic array has not fully activated the power of this Heavenly Forged Metal, yet it is still quite remarkable.

It wasn't that the craftsmanship was insufficient; rather, in order to allow Zhenhua to integrate this four-word battle armor, the craftsmanship was lowered, thus making this battle armor surpass three-word battle armor but inferior to ordinary four-word battle armor.

Even so, Zhenhua could still barely unleash the power of a Limit Douluo by relying on the close connection between himself and this set of Heavenly Forged Metal.

However, unlike Makino, he does not possess the ability to fight for extended periods.

Chang Gongyan was intimidated by Zhenhua's soul power and involuntarily released his martial soul. A total of eight soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and four black, rose up, making him an eight-ring Soul Douluo!

Even an eight-ring Soul Douluo, under the oppressive aura of Zhenhua, who was now clad in four-word battle armor, broke out in a cold sweat.

He couldn't possibly be without his battle armor, but he didn't summon it at the moment. Instead, he released his martial soul to resist Zhenhua's pressure, allowing him to speak.

"President Zhenhua!"

His voice also carried a hint of shock and anger.

He had no intention of assassinating Zhenhua, and naturally knew that he had just been framed. Now his life was entirely in Zhenhua's hands, so how could he not be shocked and angry?

The blacksmiths around him were all glaring angrily at him, threatening to kill him.

At this moment, Chang Gongyan was not only facing the pressure of Zhenhua's soul power, but also immense pressure in his heart.

He knew that if he couldn't explain himself properly now, he would really die here.

Chapter 225 Another Evil Soul Master? (Please Subscribe!!!)

Chang Gongyan dared not move at this moment. He released his martial soul in order to be able to speak under the pressure of Zhen Hua, a four-word battle armor master.

"Uncle-Master, it shouldn't be him who wanted to make the move. If he had cooperated just now, the rapier would have been even more terrifying."

Hearing Xu Yuan's persuasion, Zhen Hua eased his soul power pressure, but still kept his eyes firmly locked on Chang Gongyan.

As a master craftsman on the continent, Zhenhua held an extremely high position, not only because he was capable of Heaven Forging, forging the Heaven Forging Metal needed to forge four-word battle armor for those Limit Douluo, but also because the blacksmiths in the entire continent's Blacksmith Association had received too many favors from him.

Since he took office as president of the Blacksmiths Association, he has held public exchange activities on blacksmithing techniques every now and then. In the lobby on the first floor of the Blacksmiths Association headquarters, there are more than a hundred blacksmiths who can come to visit and receive guidance.

This is only a small part.

It can be said that nowadays, any blacksmith of level six or above has had exchanges with Zhenhua on blacksmithing techniques, and nearly half of the level five blacksmiths have also benefited from his kindness!

For this reason alone, Zhenhua is a competent president of the Forging Masters Association.

He not only holds the lifeline of all Battle Armor Masters who aspire to become Four-Word Battle Armor Masters, but also enjoys the support of countless blacksmiths.

The blacksmiths present, upon witnessing the attack on Zhenhua, were filled with rage and wished they could tear Chang Gongyan apart.

However, Xu Yuan's words still had some effect.

Firstly, Xu Yuan is the apprentice of the master craftsman, and secondly, the forging skills Xu Yuan just demonstrated are convincing.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Yuan's words make sense.

In the midst of chaos, there must always be some rational people to sort out the causes and consequences.

Xu Yuan looked at Chang Gongyan.

"Seniors, I wonder who you have had contact with?"

Who wants the master craftsman dead?

It's impossible for any of the various forces within the Federation to do something like this, since the Federation still needs the Divine Craftsmen to forge Heavenly Forged Metal for them.

Then it is highly likely to be a hostile force, such as the other two continents.

Chang Gongyan is a blacksmith from the Star Luo Continent, which is why Zhenhua was so furious just now. He really believed that Chang Gongyan was one of the planners. Even now, despite Xu Yuan's pleas, Zhenhua still uses his soul power to lock onto Chang Gongyan.
