Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Of course, this idea of ​​doing everything in my power was not to make the Third Elder regret it, or to fight for any opportunity to continue studying in the Long Family Soul Guidance Laboratory.

Long You's purpose was to slap someone in the face, to let the Third Elder, who was narrow-minded, prejudiced, and unwilling to lower his tinted glasses and observe patiently, see what true talent is.

Things change, and the process of finally becoming a master of soul tools and then slapping the Third Elder in the face is far too long. When faced with a slap in the face, Long You prefers to retaliate on the spot, if possible.

As for whether doing so would completely offend the Third Elder, Long You didn't care.

Firstly, Long You has decided not to continue learning soul tool technology at the Long family, since he has already mastered the most important Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

Secondly, just as the Third Elder said, Long You is a genius of the family head lineage, or rather, the Soul Master lineage. Even if the Third Elder doesn't like him, he can't do anything about it, so Long You is not afraid of offending the Third Elder.

Most importantly, and thirdly, Long You wasn't confident that this test would change the Third Elder's attitude, preventing him from viewing him with hostility and prejudice. If the Third Elder couldn't change his attitude, then Long You would actually find it difficult to learn any real skills while staying in the Long family's soul-guiding laboratory, headed by the Third Elder.

Long You hadn't thought about it before, but now, looking back, he realized that the teacher who taught him the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique hadn't actually put his heart into it.

His teaching method is comparable to how Tang Hao taught Tang San in Douluo Continent I. He simply demonstrates, and either glosses over other key points or doesn't explain them at all.

However, because Long You possessed the Insight Glasses martial soul, he immediately completed the analysis process after the instructor fully demonstrated the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, forming a complete skill on the Book of Witness.

With complete skills and the Pearl of Imagination as a place for endless trial and error, Long You naturally didn't care much about whether his teacher's teaching was adequate, to the point that he only now realized that he was being targeted.

Incidentally, Long You had actually tried to perfect the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, but the feedback from the Book of Witness indicated that the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was already very perfect. In the end, the result of that witnessing deduction was that Long You's Book of Witness Martial Soul had an additional page recording the incomplete forging technique.

According to the timeline, the current Dou Er period in Longyou does not have the forging level classification of ten forging, hundred forging, thousand forging, spirit forging, soul forging, and fusion forging.

Long You had been very envious of these more advanced forging techniques, and now, the Book of Witness had provided the answer. Although the content currently displayed on the pages of the Book of Witness only outlined the standards and practice methods for the ten forging stages.

But that's alright. With the Book of Witness as his martial soul, Long You will be able to deduce all the later content sooner or later. For now, Long You only needs to focus on achieving the tenth level of forging.

A heating furnace, a piece of pig iron full of impurities, no specific assessment requirements, only the Third Elder's words: "I have my own standards, I don't need you to judge."

He lit a fire, heated the iron, and placed the red-hot block of iron on the anvil. Long You took out his newly purchased forging hammer from his newly acquired storage soul tool.

Inhale, exhale, and grip the ground firmly with your toes. Power bursts from your calf muscles, travels through your thighs, waist, back, and arm muscles, and finally reaches the forging hammer.

"Boom!"

A crisp yet heavy knocking sound rang out in the forging room, and the cast iron block on the anvil was visibly hammered into a concave shape by the forging hammer.

With a single strike, Long You used the reaction force from the hammer hitting the iron block to quickly lift the hammer, then spun it around once more, gathering all his strength to smash it down on the iron block.

"Thump-thump-thump-"

The continuous, rhythmic hammering sounds began to blend together and echoed throughout the forging room.

The irregularly shaped piece of cast iron, under the repeated hammering of the forging hammer, gradually transformed into a regular cube. Moreover, it was visibly that the impurities within the iron were decreasing, and the texture of the iron was changing from brittle and hard to more resilient.

With the thirteenth strike, Long You felt a stinging sensation from the friction on his palm.

With the sixteenth strike, a trace of bright red color began to seep from where Long You's palm met the hammer handle;

On the twentieth strike, the blood flowing from the chafed palm dripped onto the still reddish iron block as Long You spun around.

With the twenty-first strike, Long You, whose entire palm was worn away by the abrasion, spun the forging hammer twice to dissipate the accumulated force, and then put it down.

Without saying much, and without paying attention to the Third Elder's noticeably more serious and unpleasant expression, Long You put away his forging hammer, took the iron block that had shrunk by two sizes, and left the forging room.

That piece of iron was the fruit of Long You's labor, and a testament to the various efforts he had made in secret over this period of time. Long You did not want it to fall into the hands of someone he disliked.

Back in their own courtyard, Long You's ordeal infuriated Long's father, who hadn't yet returned from his military marketing leave. After using a healing soul skill recorded on his martial soul to stop the bleeding from Long You's hand, Long Lei hurriedly led Long You to the location of the family head, Long Ye.

"Father, are the clansmen who chose the Soul Master path, represented by the Third Elder, really targeting the clansmen who chose the Soul Master path, represented by Uncle? I've never heard of that before."

Although relatively few people go to the Soul Guidance Laboratory, a lot of the Long family's funds come from selling Soul Guidance Devices, so it doesn't seem like there's any conflict between the two sides!

Furthermore, if there truly is a contradiction, why did my uncle immediately agree to go to the Third Elder when I mentioned wanting to learn soul tool technology?

“I don’t know, son, I really don’t know. If I had known, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you bring this up with your uncle.”

Regardless of whether there is a real conflict or a fake one, or even if the Third Elder simply has a problem with our family or your uncle's family, he shouldn't treat you like this. He's deliberately toying with you.

However, even if we go to your uncle now, it won't be of much use. According to you, the Third Elder never intended to teach you properly in the first place, which shows that your uncle's authority as clan leader has no effect on the Third Elder.

Moreover, your impulsive decision to run back this time was understandable. Although there was a reason for it, the Third Elder could easily deny it and accuse you of disrespecting your elders.

Not only will he be fine then, but you, me, and your uncle will all have to apologize to him.
