Douluo: Wuhun Eats Iron Beast, Never Become a Slave

Chapter 179 Gap
Under Zhao Mu's control, the pitch-black liquid transformed from the Dark Dragon Corpse was poured onto the longsword formed from metal.

While completely fusing the cracks that existed in the assembly of the various metal parts on the long sword, the original luster of the metal was also cast into a solid black color.

Although the style remained unchanged, the change in the color of the longsword altered Zhao Mu's perception of it.

Especially with the integration of the dark dragon corpse, this unfinished Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade seemed to have gained a little bit of sentience.

At this moment, the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade no longer seemed to be just an inanimate object.

Could it be that, besides fusing with weapons, spirit bones can also imbue weapons with spirituality?
It seems that the Nine Li Yaotian Banner also gave Zhao Mu this feeling.

However, Zhao Mu did not dwell on this matter. Instead, just as he had done with the Nine Li Yaotian Banner, he used his own blood to begin the next stage of refining the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade.

As Zhao Mu's blood merged with it, an invisible fire suddenly appeared, completely enveloping the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade.

Under the forging of the invisible fire, the embryo of the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade is gradually being perfected, and the roughness and flaws on the blade are being constantly removed.

The whole process proceeded in an orderly manner. However, during the forging of the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade, Zhao Mu did not feel as if he was forging a divine weapon. On the contrary, it felt like he was forging a demonic weapon.

It might be due to the required metal materials, since the metal materials needed for the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade are all of the yin nature.

It may also be related to the Dark Dragon Corpse, which is inherently associated with darkness.

With many questions in mind, Zhao Mu became even more eager to acquire the second weapon among the seven weapons.

But sometimes, just when you're about to succeed, a few annoying flies will appear.

During the refining process, Zhao Mu slightly turned his head to look to the side, his expression showing some impatience.

Right now, he only wants to focus on forging the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade, but he can't stop people from disturbing him.

Accompanied by scattered and noisy footsteps, a group of seven people appeared in Zhao Mu's sight.

Of the seven, the most distinctive, or rather, the most prominent, are the three leading the group: two men and one woman. As for the other four, they look like bystanders at first glance.

Sometimes you can really tell just by looking at it.

When judging a person, the first things people notice are their hairstyle and hair color.

Two men with short black and red hair, plus a woman with pink hair who was good-looking and had a seductive air about her.

Based on the original work, Zhao Mu could easily deduce that the seven people in front of him were the seven members of the Spirit Hall team.

Unlike Zhao Mu, who guessed the identities of the seven members of the Spirit Hall, the latter clearly knew Zhao Mu, or had seen Zhao Mu's profile picture.

With the start of the Soul Master Competition and the later appearance of the Prodigy Ranking, the information and photos of the top-ranked individuals on the Prodigy Ranking were all seen by the members of the Spirit Hall team.

"It was him? Could he be the one who caused the changes in the Mysterious Grand Canyon?" Xie Yue murmured.

Hu Liena also stared at Zhao Mu, who was focused on forging the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade. His serious expression was quite captivating.

A man's serious and focused demeanor is indeed very attractive to the opposite sex, but of course, there is a prerequisite: he must not be ugly.

"What is he doing? Is he forging weapons?"

"Isn't a forging hammer needed to forge weapons?"

"Why would he forge a weapon at this time? Isn't it during the Soul Master Competition finals?"

Listening to Hu Liena and her teammates' discussion, Yan stepped forward confidently.

"Just ask this kid and you'll find out."

As he spoke, Yan turned to Zhao Mu and shouted, "Hey, are you refining a weapon? Did you cause the changes in the Mysterious Grand Canyon?"

One second, two seconds...

When Yan asked a question, Zhao Mu completely ignored him.

Seeing that he was being ignored, and influenced by a part of his martial soul, Yan, who was already somewhat hot-tempered, couldn't help but spit out a curse. "Damn it, you've got some nerve, daring to ignore me!"

Yan didn't think Zhao Mu was mute or deaf. The information didn't say that the other party was perfectly healthy and simply ignored her.

Then Yan shook his head and flexed his wrists as he quickly walked toward Zhao Mu.

“Yan…”

Seeing Yan's actions, Xie Yue, who was also a teammate and the captain of the Spirit Hall team, naturally knew what Yan was going to do next.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter; they could let Yan do whatever he wanted. But Zhao Mu was no ordinary person.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Since the Spirit Hall's Prodigy Ranking ranks Zhao Mu first, he must have some strength. Yan is recklessly causing trouble for him and is likely to suffer losses.

Yan didn't think as much as Xie Yue. In Yan's opinion, the ranking of the Prodigy Ranking was just nonsense.

Among his peers, only three people were truly recognized by him: besides Xie Yue and Hu Liena from his team, there was only that one...

But before Xie Yue could even utter a sound, and just as Yan approached Zhao Mu within a few meters, Zhao Mu finally made a move, merely turning his head back.

As he cast a glance at the Spirit Hall members, an overwhelming pressure also directly affected them.

Because Zhao Mu did not conceal his aura when dealing with the Dark Dragon, including when refining the Nine Li Soul-Severing Blade, the pressure brought by his strength descended upon the members of the Spirit Hall as soon as he mobilized it.

When the strong confront an enemy, they often begin with intimidation and suppression.

However, the members of the Spirit Hall did not expect Zhao Mu to do this. With just one glance, they felt an immense pressure as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them.

Yan, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue all stumbled and nearly fell, while the other members of the Spirit Hall were directly overwhelmed by this aura.

Can a single glance achieve this?
The Spirit Hall team was terrified. As the pride of the Spirit Hall, they would never easily be inferior to others. They always believed that Zhao Mu's position as the number one on the Prodigy Ranking was just an empty title, and this tournament was their chance to expose him for what he truly was.

However, they never expected that when they actually met the person in person, they would find that they couldn't even withstand a single glance from him.

Yan, Hu Liena, and Xie Yue, who were leading the group, were equally shocked. They even felt a pressure from Zhao Mu that was no less than that of His Holiness the Pope Bibi Dong.

How can the other party be compared to His Holiness the Pope?

Yan, in particular, has the weakest ability to withstand pressure among the three. He finds it hard to believe that anyone his age could be so much stronger than him.

fake!

Correct!
Must be fake!

I must be under a spell!

The opponent's martial soul is an eye!

Otherwise, how could he have subdued me with just a glance?

"Break it for me!"

Yan simply couldn't break through Zhao Mu's suppression on his own.

Ultimately, unable to accept it and driven by the impulse to disbelieve, Yan forcibly summoned his martial soul, the Flame Lord.

With the martial soul possessing him, five spirit rings appeared in succession under Yan's feet: yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black. With the support of the martial soul, Yan finally regained control of his body.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Magma Overturning..."

However, just as Yan's fourth spirit ring lit up with a purple light, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped.

Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and the others were instantly dumbfounded, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

A strange, enormous black and white creature appeared beside them, and even Yan, who was possessed, was lifted up by the creature like a chick...
