Douluo Dalu: The Unrivaled Panlong Zhentian

Chapter 117: A cross-era transformation, the advent of battle armor?
The four colors of bright green light, brilliant golden light, golden yellow and silver moonlight flickered alternately, reflecting the face of Qiangu Tianzong.

Time passes slowly.

In the outside world, the shadow of Alex looked at Qiangu Tianzong with a satisfied expression.

Until Qiangu Tianzong opened his eyes.

"Master Yi, this... this gold of living beings has been integrated into my Eye of Destiny. How should I add the gold of living beings to this forged metal to attach spirits to it?"

"Little guy, there are spiritual metals that can be integrated into the body, I still have to remind you of this."

"Are you trying to improve your defense by fusing spiritual metals?"

"Mr. Yi, what you said is pretty much correct."

"However, please leave some tricks for me, so that I can give Mr. Yi a surprise later, right?" Qiangu Tianzong said with a smile.

"Hahahaha!" Electrolux laughed.

"Little guy, just do what you want! I'll just watch and help you when needed."

“But I think you can forge metal better with your current ability.” Alex said in an affirmative tone.

"I see!"

Alex floated away from Qiangu Tianzong for a distance.

Qiangu Tianzong turned his head and looked at the piece of Sun and Moon Gold that had been forged ten thousand times. Then he walked towards it without hesitation.

As Qiangu Tianzong walked, the Panlong Stick appeared in his hand.

When Qiangu Tianzong got close to the Sun and Moon Gold, he swung his stick, hit the Sun and Moon Gold, and then it fell on the heating soul guide device beside him.

Qiangu Tianzong resisted it, injected soul power into it, and began to burn the iron.

As soul power was injected, the flames in the soul guide suddenly rose, turning into a sea of ​​​​burning fire, tightly wrapping the gold of the sun and the moon. Under the licking of the flames, the metal gradually turned red, and it seemed to be alive and emitting light.

Qiangu Tianzong stared at the piece of metal, silently reciting the essentials of forging in his heart. Every breath he took was in tune with the rhythm of the flame. It seemed that some subtle connection was established between his mind and the metal.

"let's start!"

As Alex's voice rang out, Qiangu Tianzong swung the Panlong Stick in his hand.

To some extent, the Panlong stick in Qiangu Tianzong's hand is more effective than the hammer.

Ping Pong Pong!

One stick after another.

"Good! That's it!" Electrolux's voice sounded beside Qiangu Tianzong's ears, with some praise, "You really have extraordinary comprehension, and you can control your power so accurately."

"You continue, let me take the next step!"

As Alex waved the scepter in his hand, Qiangu Tianzong felt a strange power descending upon him.

Then he felt a commotion on his forehead, an itchy feeling.

That is the eye of destiny opening.

“~~~~~~~” A complicated spell came from Alex’s mouth.

Under the guidance of this magical force, the Eye of Destiny of Qiangu Tianzong separated a drop of emerald green liquid with gold, and then this drop of liquid quickly dripped onto the piece of hammered sun and moon gold.

"Gold of living things, integrate it! Make my power more perfect, and let the glory of battle armor come to the world earlier." Qiangu Tianzong whispered.

At the same time, Qiangu Tianzong also mobilized the golden power of living things in his body that originated from the green light liquid that had just merged.

He tried to guide this power to the palm of his hand, and then slowly injected it into the heating Sun and Moon Gold through the Panlong Stick.

After Alex and Qiangu Tianzong used their respective methods, the Sun and Moon Gold did not seem to have any obvious changes at first.

But as time went by, fine lines began to appear on the surface of the Sun and Moon Gold. These lines flashed a faint green under the reflection of the flames, as if the tree of life had taken root and sprouted in the metal.

Qiangu Tianzong could feel that the life force from the gold of living things was merging with the properties of the gold of the sun and the moon itself, giving it unprecedented vitality and vigor.

And Qiangu Tianzong seemed to feel that he was being called by some kind of destiny.

"It works!" Qiangu Tianzong was delighted.

He constantly adjusted the power and soul power output of the Panlong Stick, sometimes as gentle as a spring breeze, sometimes as fierce as a rainstorm. Every strike was just right, allowing the gold of the sun and the moon to gradually transform under the dual effects of fire and power.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment, and the air around became heavy because of this forging.

I don’t know how long it had passed, but finally, when the Eternal Heaven’s Will was forged in blood and fire, the Gold of the Sun and the Moon glowed with unprecedented brilliance.

It not only retains its original hardness and sharpness, but also adds a touch of vibrant green, as if it contains endless vitality and potential.

The gold of the sun and the moon began to radiate unprecedented light, and that spirituality became more and more active, as if it really had life.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp～～～～" Such tiny sounds rang in Qiangu Tianzong's mind.

"Chijijiji~~~~~" The tiny sound rang in his mind again, this time clearer and more urgent. Qiangu Tianzong realized that the Sun and Moon Gold seemed to be conveying some information to him, but now this consciousness was very weak and he could not fully understand it.

Qiangu Tianzong was certain that the mysterious call came from this piece of gold of the sun and the moon.

In other words, the real soul-making metal, the gold of the sun and the moon that he forged by relying on the power of the gold of living things was sublimated.

"Success!" A hint of joy appeared in Qiangu Tianzong's eyes.

"Not bad, not bad." The shadow of Alex slowly floated over and circled around the Sun and Moon Gold several times, with a satisfied light in his eyes. "This is no longer just a spiritual metal, but also an extension of your power and a manifestation of your will. Next, it depends on how you use it."

“Is this the real soul-making metal?”

In fact, Qiangu Tianzong didn't know that with the help of Alex and his own constant tempering, this piece of sun and moon gold not only gave birth to spiritual intelligence, but also completed the stage called soul forging ten thousand years later.

Alex naturally discovered it as well, but he didn't say anything.

……

A month later, Qiangu Tianzong was called out of the laboratory by Jing Hongchen.

During this month, Jing Hongchen didn't know what Qiangu Tianzong was doing in there, but he guessed that Qiangu Tianzong should be researching some new type of soul guide device!

In Jing Hongchen's opinion, after all, there will be a challenge from the Beast King-level Soul Instructor Group soon, so he needs to be well prepared.

"Tianzong! Looking at you, how long has it been since you had a rest?" Jing Hongchen said with a strange expression after seeing Qiangu Tianzong's disheveled appearance.

"Teacher! How long has it been?"

"It seems that you really have been working so hard that you have forgotten to eat and sleep!" "Hurry up and pack up. His Majesty will hold a celebration banquet for you and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy tonight."

"Your Majesty is right to be happy. The feat of unifying the continent thousands of years ago was destroyed by Shrek, and the elite competitions of advanced soul masters in the continent have been suppressed by Shrek since then."

"A tree needs a bark, and a person needs a face."

"Now that you have helped the Sun-Moon Empire gain this honor, His Majesty can't wait for the whole country to celebrate."

"This is a grand achievement that has not been seen in a thousand years. It shows that the national policy of the Sun-Moon Empire is correct."

"Okay, even though it's night, you should clean up early!"

"And I guess His Majesty will formally reward you tonight."

"Then those guys won't just stand by and watch."

"..."

Jing Hongchen said a lot, but in short, no teacher wants his students to have a bad life.

"Okay, I understand, teacher!"

"Ok!"

The life of a soul engineer is basically a bit boring, but the lifestyle of the powerful is colorful and extremely luxurious.

Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen and Huo Yuhao followed Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen into the palace of the Sun Moon Empire.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the celebration party officially began, and the Emperor Xu Wanke of the Sun-Moon Empire gave a crackling speech.

Sitting below Xu Wanke were several princes of the Sun-Moon Empire, including Xu Tianran.

After a speech, Xu Wanke began to formally confer titles and rewards on the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy who had shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the Sun Moon Empire.

All the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy who received honors and rewards had smiles on their faces.

Finally, there is the reward for Qiangu Tianzong.

The eunuch was dressed in intricate and gorgeous court robes, walking lightly and solemnly, holding high in both hands the imperial edict inlaid with sparkling gems, as if holding up the glory and grace of the entire empire.

His shrill voice echoed in the empty hall, every word was clear and powerful, with unquestionable majesty: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims - You who are gifted by heaven and unrivaled in talent, with your astonishing wisdom and courage, lead the elite of our Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy to overcome numerous difficulties, defeat our old enemy Shrek Academy, and create another glorious chapter at the pinnacle of the soul master world."

"This move not only demonstrates the extraordinary strength of our Sun Moon Empire's soul masters, but also solidifies the empire's eternal foundation like a rock, and defends the empire's supreme dignity and reputation. Such an unparalleled feat should be announced to the world, so that people all over the world can admire it, and it should be recorded in the history of our empire forever to inspire future generations!"

At this point, the eunuch paused slightly, his eyes gleaming with an even brighter light, and continued to read: "Today, I am very pleased, and I specially grant Qiangu Tianzong the title of third-class earl, and the title of 'Champion' to honor his outstanding achievements. I also grant him a territory of 30,000 kilometers, which is vast and boundless, enough to show his noble status; I also grant him one million gold soul coins, a number of jewelry, jade, rare medicinal materials, etc., to support him and comfort him for his hard work."

"In addition, I know that Qiangu Tianzong has profound attainments in the field of soul mentoring, so I specially conferred the title of 'Guanjun Bo' as the leader of the Beast King Soul Mentor Group and the title of 'Wan Yao', which means that he has many soul beasts under his command and is as powerful as the king of all monsters. I hope that he can continue to carry forward the skills of soul mentors, cultivate more pillars for the empire, and protect the eternal peace of our Sun Moon Empire!"

As the eunuch finished reading, thunderous applause and cheers suddenly broke out in the hall. Of course, it was hard to say how much of this applause was genuine.

Qiangu Tianzong slowly stepped forward and took the imperial edict with both hands.

Under the gaze of the people around him, Qiangu Tianzong bowed deeply, "Your Majesty, I bow to you and thank you!"

Xu Wanke looked at Qiangu Tianzong with satisfaction, but his eyes were actually giving him a hint.

Under Xu Wanke, the princes looked at Qiangu Tianzong with a mixture of passion, disdain, and calmness.

The calmest one among them was Xu Tianran! It must be said that his skill of hiding Qi was really profound.

After receiving Xu Wanke's instructions, these Beast King-level Soul Masters can naturally come out and cause trouble openly!

"The Beast King-level Soul Instructor Group, which is titled Ten Thousand Demons, is not so easy to obtain, kid!" Dark Gold Liao Mengkai, the leader of the four Beast King-level Soul Instructor Groups, stepped forward first.

“Boy, the Beast King Level Soul Instructor Corps all emerged from the smoke of blood and fire. Even if His Majesty has issued an order, if you want to get the title of Beast King Level Soul Instructor Corps now, you have to ask us first.” Lamasu, the leader of the Evil Eye Soul Emperor Corps, looked at Qiangu Tianzong grimly.

Anyway, Qiangu Tianzong thought he looked like Orochimaru.

Ye Liqing, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, broke the silence with her unique simplicity and domineering attitude: "Either you go to the battlefield and prove your strength with your achievements and be promoted; or, fight us right now! Let us see if you are qualified to wear the title of 'Ten Thousand Demons'!"

"Everyone, please listen to me. I believe that everyone here is aware that there is an unshakable tradition in the empire and even in the entire army."

Xu Wanjun's voice was steady and powerful, and his words were like a stream of clear water, slowly pouring into the tense and almost frozen atmosphere. He looked around with a deep gaze, as if emphasizing an ancient and solemn tradition to everyone.

Of course, he could say this in front of the emperor because, firstly, he had obtained the emperor's permission, and secondly, he was also a member of the royal family and there were some things that only he could say.

Xu Wanjun continued to speak slowly, "That is, to obtain the title of Beast King Soul Instructor Group, it is not easy to achieve with just an imperial decree. It requires strength, recognition, and the support and endorsement of more than three quarters of our people."

His words were powerful, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. Everyone nodded, expressing their respect and recognition for this tradition.

"This is the tradition of the military. It transcends any individual's will and any constraints of power." Xu Wanjun continued, "No matter how high your position or how brilliant your achievements are, if you don't get the recognition and support of the majority of people, then this title is just an empty name for you."

At this point, Xu Wanjun turned his gaze to Qiangu Tianzong, his eyes showing both expectation and test. He knew that although this young man was talented, he still needed to go through more trials and tests to truly obtain the title of Beast King Soul Instructor Group.

"Young man, you have extraordinary talent and potential, but at this moment, you are still just a rookie." Xu Wanjun squinted and looked at Qiangu Tianzong.

“True glory cannot be easily obtained with a piece of imperial edict. It requires you to fight for it with your strength, water it with sweat, and prove it with time.”

Qiangu Tianzong smiled slightly when he heard this.

"General Xu, I understand."

"I will use my own strength to win everyone's recognition and support. I will let everyone see that I, the Eternal Talent, deserve the title of 'Ten Thousand Demons'!"

"How would you like to test me?"

"Send someone? Or do you guys do it yourselves?" Qiangu Tianzong did not hide his edge at all.

He wanted to see where his current limits were.

"Humph, you are indeed an arrogant brat!" After hearing Qiangu Tianzong's declaration, a senior soul master snorted with disdain, his tone full of ridicule for his arrogance, "A mere soul emperor, a seventh-level soul master, dares to challenge a ninth-level soul master. This is not the wrong medicine, it's simply wishful thinking!"

The soul masters around him also echoed the discussion, all of which were filled with contempt and doubt towards Qiangu Tianzong. In their opinion, there was a big difference between soul masters and soul masters.

The level division of soul engineers is strict and clear, and the gap between each level is a world of difference, not to mention the huge gap from level seven to level nine.

In the face of these doubts and ridicules, Qiangu Tianzong did not show the slightest sign of wavering.

For Qiangu Tianzong, how could he experience the scene at that level without challenging the ninth-level soul engineer!
And the other side may not necessarily be the ones who play themselves!

Whether they will play or not depends entirely on how many cards Qiangu Tianzong reveals.

"You're dreaming. You want us to perform? Can you afford the appearance fee?" Liao Mengkai gave Qiangu Tianzong a displeased look.

"Your cultivation is only at Soul Emperor level, and your Soul Instructor level is only level seven. There is absolutely no need for us to go on the field!" Ye Liqing's cold voice sounded.
