Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 31 Tang San's Sorrow

"Good boy." Gu Chenyu smiled and patted Lu Jun on the shoulder.

Leng Yulai covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"Your Majesty the Blood Demon, you're practically stealing our Spirit Pagoda's treasures."

“Each of us has our own perspective.” Gu Chenyu laughed heartily. “Besides, we’re all working for the Spirit Pagoda. He also needs someone to guide him in his second career, doesn’t he?”

“That’s true.” Leng Yulai did not refute.

"Go on, it's time to test your skills."

As Gu Chenyu spoke, he pointed towards the studio inside.

Lu Jun nodded, walked into the workshop, and took out his own forging hammer from his storage soul tool.

In terms of strength, his stats are quite good.

Although he is a mage who wields a sword, he still needs to undergo strength training in wielding the sword.

Therefore, his physical condition is quite good among his peers.

Enter the studio,
Lu Jun stood in front of the forging table, the assessment content announced by Gu Chenyu ringing in his ears:

"The Level 3 Blacksmith assessment has only one requirement: Thousand Refinements."

He stood to the side, his hands behind his back, staring intently at Lu Jun.

"You can choose any metal to complete the thousand forging. The degree of completion of the thousand forging, as well as the difficulty of the metal you choose, will determine your final score."

Ok?
Can I choose the metal myself?

Thinking back to the content of the previous assessments, Lu Jun almost shed tears of emotion.

Lu Jun couldn't help but look at Gu Chenyu.

This is like throwing the ocean into your own hands.

“What, I’m different from the other examiners. I think that a blacksmith doesn’t necessarily need to be good at forging all kinds of metals.”

Gu Chenyu said.

"Do what you do best. Mastering a field to the extreme means you are also a master craftsman."

awesome.

Since he could make his own choice, Lu Jun was no longer afraid.

Without hesitation, I chose a metal related to the ice attribute.

……

While Lu Jun was still forging his mecha, Gu Yuena's mecha design was progressing very smoothly.

She is already a Level 3 mecha designer.

Having completed her tasks for the day, Gu Yuena prepared to return home and got into her luxury car.

The driver of the luxury car was still Murasaki.

"The Lord seems to be in a good mood today?"

Zi Ji keenly noticed the slight upturn of Gu Yue Na's lips and couldn't help but ask softly.

Gu Yuena, who had been staring blankly out the car window, paused slightly upon hearing this, then said nonchalantly:
"...It's nothing. Also, don't call me 'Lord' outside."

However, she hesitated for a moment after she had spoken.

Zi Ji blinked, didn't press further, and simply said:
"Miss...you understand, it's hard to change how I address you all at once, it's all just a habit."

"I will change gradually."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuena finally spoke.

"That human named Lu Jun seems to be getting along quite well with me lately."

"Oh?" Zi Ji immediately understood. "It seems that the lord gets along very well with him."

Gu Yuena gently fiddled with the ends of her hair, seemingly considering her words.

"He said... he wanted to treat me to a meal to thank me properly." She paused, as if confirming something, and added, "This must be what humans call the relationship between 'good friends,' right?"

Zi Ji paused slightly, then raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying to suppress her laughter.

“Yes, miss,” she replied gently.

My lord... is surprisingly naive. No wonder Di Tian suggested that she transform into a child to better adapt to human society.

Zi Ji recalled Di Tian's suggestion.

It seems that the decision to have Gu Yuena integrate into human society as a child, rather than appearing directly in adult form, was indeed reasonable.

“Zi Ji.” Gu Yuena suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts.

"Yes, ma'am."

"How exactly should 'friends' between humans get along?" Her tone remained calm, but Murasaki detected a subtle hint of unease in it.

Zi Ji smiled slightly and said softly:
"My lord, you just need to... let nature take its course."

"Being too intimate can backfire."

"I see, I understand now." Gu Yuena nodded, her thoughts drifting away.

……

Compared to Lu Jun's development in Mingdu, things have gradually stabilized.

At this moment, in the distant city of Donghai.

Tang San quietly watched his son, Tang Wulin, as he arrived in Donghai City to attend school.

"Strange... Why didn't we follow the original plan to bring the amnesiac Silver Dragon King and Wu Lin together?"

Tang San, inside Tang Wulin's body, pondered the matter deeply but couldn't understand it.

"Father, what's going on? Could it be that his attempt to become the ruler of this plane has failed?"

"Moreover, Wu Lin's luck hasn't reached the level we imagined."

"Ugh."

Tang San began to worry as he thought about all the problems that had not been solved.

"Back in the God Realm, I had countless ways to obtain the divine artifacts that had fallen into the far north and use them for my own purposes, but that damned God of Destruction has always been hindering me."

"Because that artifact blocked my connection with Douluo Continent, I was unable to further control Douluo Continent, and even my plan to make Huo Yuhao my son-in-law failed."

"This time, we must ensure that Wu Lin masters the power of that divine artifact. Such a powerful weapon must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will surely pose a fatal danger to us."

Tang San sighed.

He stayed here, watching his son Tang Wulin grow up little by little, and seeing that he was now studying at Donghai Academy, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The next moment, another divine sense approached Tang Wulin, making Tang San more alert.

"Who? This is... wait, is it Father?"

"...Mistress, you really are here."

Tang Hao's voice rang out, establishing communication with Tang San inside Tang Wulin's body.

Tang Wulin, who was meditating and cultivating at that moment, was completely unaware of this.

Tang San's consciousness trembled slightly: "Father? How could you..."

"According to your previous arrangements, the Tang Clan has made all the necessary preparations. Furthermore, the Tang Clan has discovered the existence of that divine artifact in Mingdu."

"What? So fast?"

Tang San was overjoyed.

It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears!

Tang Hao said in a deep voice:
"only……"

"But what's wrong?" Tang San asked instinctively.

"According to the Tang Sect's report, that artifact seems to have transformed into a human." Tang Hao's voice carried a hint of strangeness. "And it's a child, possessing an artifact martial soul with the ultimate ice attribute."

"The Tang Sect hacked into the Spirit Pagoda's system and found clues in the files. Legend has it that three years ago, strange celestial phenomena occurred at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters..."

"The child's name is registered as Lu Jun in the Spirit Pagoda's records. His martial soul is a sword with the ultimate ice attribute, which is suspected to be related to an ice attribute artifact from the far north."

"Transformed into a human?! Mr. Lu?"

Tang San repeated the name, his expression shifting between light and dark.
