Chapter 42 The Power of the Alchemist

Chen Zhou stood at the end of the assembly line, his gaze deep and calm. His figure seemed particularly aloof under the gray sky, like a god controlling fate, overlooking this desolate world. His fingers gently stroked the amethyst, the primordial energy, sensing the immense power contained within. The smile on his lips grew even wider.

"Very good, warriors of the Armored Beast Tribe, your loyalty will bring me endless glory."

His voice was deep and powerful, carrying a certain irresistible majesty. At his words, the black iron-armored beasts bowed their heads in submission. Though their bodies were composed of cold metal, bathed in the purple light, they seemed to be imbued with true life, possessing souls and will.

"Blue Armored Beast, continue to speed up the operation of the assembly line. I need more warriors."

Chenzhou turned his gaze to the Blue Armored Beast, his voice carrying an unquestionable command. The Blue Armored Beast immediately lowered its head and responded respectfully, "Yes, Master! I will do my utmost to increase efficiency and ensure the maximum number of Black Iron Armored Beasts born each day."

Chen Zhou nodded, and his gaze swept over the awakened black iron armored beasts again, with a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.

"only"

The blue-armored beast hesitated to speak, causing Chen Zhou to wave his hand and say, "Go ahead."

The Blue Armored Beast nodded, then spoke freely, "If we send the entire Armored Beast tribe to the outside world, we can indeed escape the Seven Treasures Glazed Chamber of Commerce's control over our channels in a short period of time. However, we will also lose the protection of official market operations."

"The lack of high-end combat power is still a hidden danger, making it difficult for us to gain a firm foothold in the Sun-Moon Federation."

Chen Zhou nodded. He was not surprised by the Blue Armored Beast's worry. He could also think of this.

If the battle is reckless, the most powerful Purple Armored Beast can even fight against an ordinary Titled Douluo.

But that's all.

Titled Douluo are rare, not to mention the existence of soul power amplifiers such as battle armor, which can elevate the combat effectiveness of Titled Douluo to an even stronger level.

"Blue Armored Beast."

Chen Zhou said in a deep voice.

"My subordinate is here."

The blue-armored beast lowered its head and obeyed the order.

"I want you to train the Armored Beast Tribe here and teach them the basics of the Douluo Plane for ten days."

"After ten days of training, the Black Iron Armored Beast transformed into a humanoid form. This will be used to further expand our influence, gradually erode the market share of portable soul guides, establish an intelligence agency, and purchase land on the outskirts of Donghai City to build a soul guide factory."

Chen Zhou already had a plan in mind and immediately handed over the general direction to the Blue Armored Beast.

"Yes, my lord! I will live up to your trust and complete the mission with all my strength!"

Blue Armormon's voice was filled with determination and loyalty, and his mechanical eyes flashed red, as if swearing his determination.

Chen Zhou nodded slightly, his gaze once again fixed on the awakened Black Iron Armored Beasts. He already had a long-term plan in mind; the birth of the Armored Beast Tribe was only the first step. He needed more power and resources to gain a firm foothold in this Douluo plane, perhaps even to overturn the existing order.

He wants to create a kingdom of mechanical beasts, let countless planes and planets become his nourishment, to help him get closer and closer to the door of "truth", closer to the symbol of the ultimate "extreme" and "truth"!
Donghai College, unlike the maneuvering attitude when he was in the world of mechas, Chen Zhou now looks like a scholar. Although he looks young, his wise aura and calm demeanor always make people subconsciously find it difficult to judge him by his appearance and age.

In a corner of Donghai College, there is a pavilion named "Qingfeng", which is hidden in the shade of green trees.

The pavilion is not big, but extremely elegant, with flying eaves and pointed corners, carved beams and painted buildings, like the finishing touch in an ink painting.

It was mid-afternoon, and sunlight filtered through layers of green leaves, dappling the pavilion's bluestone floor. A gentle breeze, carrying a touch of the sun's warmth and the delicate fragrance of bamboo leaves, caressed my face, leaving me feeling elated. Inside the pavilion stood a stone table and several stone benches. On the table lay an open copy of "On the Development of Future Soul Technology," its pages rustling softly as the breeze turned.

Chen Zhou sat upright on a stone bench, his expression focused, his features radiating a calm and composed presence. He wore a plain long gown, the sleeves fluttering in the breeze, blending seamlessly with the surrounding scenery. His fingers gently pressed against the pages of his book, his gaze sharp as he read each word, as if intent on imprinting every single word on his mind.

But as if all good things were destined to be broken, Gu Yue, dressed in white, walked to a nearby pavilion and quietly watched Chen Zhou, who was reading intently. "Teacher Wu asked me to challenge you."

Gu Yue had no intention of launching a sneak attack, but instead informed everyone in advance.

Chen Zhou withdrew his attention and glanced at Gu Yue.

Oh~ that little girl who uses elemental power.

"Ah."

Chen Zhou continued to calm down. He had found this book with great difficulty from a library of varying quality. Although many of the viewpoints in it were somewhat abrupt due to the limitations of the times, the imaginative way of thinking had allowed Chen Zhou to gain a lot.

Imagination is something a researcher must have.

For someone who can't even imagine, his so-called research is nothing but a copycat.

Gu Yue pursed her lips and looked at Chen Zhou with a bad look, who was not taking her seriously at all. Three sharp ice cones appeared out of thin air beside her and rushed towards Chen Zhou.

Chen Zhou continued to read, seemingly oblivious to the oncoming icicle. However, just as it was about to pierce him, he flicked his finger, and an invisible wave of energy spread out. The icicle instantly shattered in mid-air, transforming into countless tiny ice crystals that drifted away in the wind.

Gu Yue's pupils narrowed slightly, and she was secretly surprised. Although she knew Chen Zhou was quite powerful, she had never expected him to be able to neutralize her attack so easily. She didn't back down, but instead became even more determined to challenge him.

"It seems you don't intend to take this battle seriously."

There was a hint of coldness in Gu Yue's voice. She slowly raised her hands, and the air around her began to become restless.

Chen Zhou finally closed the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at Gu Yue with a faint smile in his eyes: "Elemental controllers are indeed rare. However, your power is not enough for me to take you seriously."

"That's not how you use the so-called elemental power."

As expected, Chen Zhou's words angered Gu Yue. The wind whistled in the forest, and wind blades mixed with ice cones that reflected the sunlight attacked Chen Zhou again.

The wind blade blocks the vision and the ice cone refracts the light, making it dizzying and difficult to resist?
"Good idea, but too crude."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Chen Zhou's eyes, and his eyes, which had originally brightened up with interest, returned to their normal indifference at this moment.

"Refine."

With a gentle utterance of those two words, Chen Zhou's alchemical energy slowly surged, every bit of strength channeled precisely into building his defenses. The moment the wind blades and ice cones approached Chen Zhou, they seemed to collide with an invisible barrier. The rippling water instantly disintegrated the wind blades and ice cones, transforming them into countless tiny energy fragments that dissipated into the air.

Gu Yue's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected her attack to be so easily neutralized. She took a deep breath, quickly forming seals with her hands, and the elemental energy around her began to gather frantically.

Chen Zhou said nothing, and gently pressed down with his outstretched hand.

In an instant, the soil beneath Gu Yue turned into a rolling quagmire, as if countless pairs of huge hands were trying to pull her down.

"When?"

Gu Yue's eyes narrowed sharply after her soul power was interrupted, and she stared at the mire beneath her in disbelief. This method of instantly transforming elemental forms was even more exquisite than her own control of the elements, even to the point of being worlds apart. She had never seen anyone manipulate the elements so easily, as if the elements themselves were part of their body, freely and effortlessly at their fingertips.

An unprecedented sense of crisis rose within Gu Yue, and she knew she could no longer hold back. She gritted her teeth, her soul power surging wildly, trying to break free from the quagmire.
