Chapter 297 We have a traitor among us; Di Tian is on his way on horseback.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously touched the soft tip of his nose that he had accidentally touched earlier, and there seemed to be a strange warmth and elasticity left on it.
Sensing Yali's completely chaotic emotions, he sighed silently.
The journey to Mingdu is unlikely to be peaceful.
Meanwhile, under a large tree near the east side of Lingbing Square.
Today, Xu Xiaoyan specially tied her signature double ponytails into a more capable-looking high ponytail.
She also changed her favorite pretty dresses for more practical and stylish clothes, making her look more mature than before.
Looking at her companions who were gradually arriving, she turned to Dai Yun'er beside her and asked, "Yun'er, is Teacher Lingbing really not coming today?"
Dai Yun'er, who had a lollipop in her mouth, heard this and put her arm around Xu Xiaoyan's neck, saying in a carefree tone, "My Lingbing and Holy Spirit Lord went to the capital to take care of important business tomorrow. If I hadn't already promised to help you climb the tower, I would definitely have gone with Lingbing. So Xiaoyan, you should be grateful to me."
As she spoke, she gave Xu Xiaoyan a strange once more, looking her up and down a few times.
"But speaking of which, Xiaoyan, why did you suddenly decide to change your style of dress? When I came over just now, I almost didn't recognize you."
Xu Xiaoyan gave a wry smile tinged with helplessness and replied in a low voice, "I just feel that after these few days of harsh realities in society, I should become more mature and can no longer be as naive and willful as before."
Hearing this vague answer, Dai Yun'er's suspicion deepened.
Especially considering that Xu Xiaoyan has also joined their "after-school tutoring group" these past few days, staying at Huo Yuhao's villa until very late every night before returning to her dormitory.
"Xiao Yan, tell your sister the truth."
Dai Yun'er suddenly switched to a sharp look, "Are you also eyeing my Lingbing, just like that wicked cat Wu Siduo?"
Not far away, Wu Siduo, who was seriously discussing with Yuan Enyehui the strategy for breaking through the tower and what kind of soul spirit to contract with afterward, clearly heard Dai Yun'er's hateful words.
This little cat is getting more and more audacious by cricketing in front of her!
She immediately raised her eyebrows and retorted without hesitation, "You call yourself 'older sister'? Wu Yun'er, if I remember correctly, you're the youngest among us, right? And how am I a bad cat? Even if I'm bad, can I be as bad as you?"
"You're the truly wicked one, full of malicious thoughts, even plotting to betray your own friends!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er immediately snapped her lollipop in one bite, retaliating angrily, "Huh? Wu Siduo, who are you calling bad? You're the inherently evil woman. Don't think I didn't see it; last time you practically pounced on my Lingbing, and I haven't even settled the score with you for that yet!"
Seeing the two arguing and even digging up each other's secrets, Xu Xiaoyan, caught in the middle, felt a headache coming on and awkwardly tried to mediate.
One is the free-spirited Dai Yun'er, and the other is the proud and competitive Wu Siduo. She really doesn't know how to get these two to settle down.
In addition to studying for her side job, the past few days of running around and working hard have made her feel like she's about to go bald.
Of course, none of these are the most important things.
The most important point is that she saw this sentence in an online post about emotional analysis a couple of days ago.
Only when a girl matures will she attract the attention of the opposite sex.
Teacher Lingbing is an adult, so she definitely wouldn't like an immature child.
Especially after she told Sister Gu Yue her guess, Sister Gu Yue's expression was unusually strange.
Her expression made it seem as if she already knew some secrets about Lingbing, which amplified Xu Xiaoyan's curiosity even further.
In order to get closer to Ling Bing and unveil the mystery surrounding him, Xu Xiaoyan was going all out.
Ye Xinglan, her pretty face still cold, spoke in a deep voice amidst the noise: "Now that everyone is here, let's not waste any more time and get going."
After learning from Huo Yuhao these past few days, especially with his occasional practical guidance, the newly formed Star God Sword Intent within her has become increasingly fierce, possessing an aura that seems capable of cleaving through the sun, moon, and stars.
She couldn't wait to test her latest swordsmanship skills in the Soul Tower.
Gu Yue blinked thoughtfully, her mind racing as she analyzed the crucial information Dai Yun'er had inadvertently revealed earlier.
Huo Yuhao and the Holy Spirit Douluo have left the academy and headed to Mingdu?
Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Without making a sound, she took out the soul-guided communicator hidden in her sleeve, quickly edited a short message on the screen, and sent it out.
After finally managing to calm Dai Yun'er and Wu Siduo down, Xu Xiaoyan was exhausted. Noticing Gu Yue's actions, she asked curiously.
"Sister Guyue, were you looking at some new news just now?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue put away her soul tool and calmly replied, "My teacher said she's been waiting for us at the Spirit Pagoda for a long time. Just like Xinglan said, it's time for us to set off."
Meanwhile, in a dark room not far from Shrek City, dense dark elements surged and churned, obscuring all external perception.
In the center of the room, a tall man with black hair, golden eyes, and an exceptionally handsome and resolute face took out a soul-guided communicator that emitted a soft beep from his robes.
The information displayed above is extremely simple, containing only the two characters "Mingdu".
Di Tian remained silent for a long while, his golden eyes flashing with memories of the past.
It feels as if even now, I can still feel the tearing sensation in my right chest when that flying knife pierced through me.
After a moment, he slowly spoke: "King of Ten Thousand Demons, we are setting off for Mingdu. It's time for your ability to control plants to come in handy."
"Yes, Di Tian."
A respectful response came from the deepest shadows of the room.
Immediately afterwards, a young man with a sinister appearance walked out silently.
Mingdu.
After ten thousand years of development and change, this former capital city of the Sun Moon Empire is different from the capital cities of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms that still retain a large number of historical architectural styles.
Today, it has become the most prosperous and modern city on the entire Douluo Continent.
On both sides of the road, skyscrapers of various heights, each over 100 meters tall, stand tall and pierce the clouds.
On the wide streets, a large number of soul-guided cars roared past.
Even high in the sky, there are dedicated aerial tracks for hovercars to speed along, leaving behind dazzling trails of light and shadow.
After a long-distance, high-speed flight, Yali's Prayer Angel mech finally landed slowly on top of a building over a hundred meters tall in Mingdu.
-
The building is topped with a huge glass dome, making it exceptionally beautiful.
With the cockpit door opening, the two were finally freed from that cramped space.
As Yali breathed in the cool air and felt the gentle breeze from above, her restless heart, which had been agitated by their earlier intimate contact, gradually calmed down.
Only when they were so close could she truly feel how fatally attractive Huo Yuhao's unique aura was to her.
Destruction and life are two sides of the same coin.
Not to mention————
In Yali's mind, some embarrassing images that had made her blush in the past flashed involuntarily.
She quickly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in her mind, and regained her usual composure. She then introduced, "Yuhao, this is the Ascension Platform specially built by the Blacksmith Association for the Divine Craftsmen. It can be said that every piece of Heavenly Forged Metal personally forged by a Divine Craftsman on the entire Douluo Continent is completed here."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
With his current super affinity for all kinds of elements, he can naturally clearly sense that there are many elemental auras remaining in the void here, mixed with an exceptionally strong aura of tribulation lightning.
Meanwhile, inside the rooftop, in a room with unusually simple decor.
Sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man who looked to be no more than thirty years old.
But his once jet-black hair at the temples was now gray, and his deep eyes revealed a sense of vicissitude.
The hands resting on the table were much larger than those of an average person, but the skin was exceptionally fair, like the finest mutton-fat jade, without a single flaw.
Sitting below him was a man who appeared to be in his fifties.
He was dressed in a clean white chef's uniform and had a very ordinary appearance, with nothing particularly remarkable about him.
Mu Ye let out a long sigh of relief and said with some complaint, "Zhen Hua, why didn't you stay at the association headquarters in Tian Dou City? Why did you suddenly come to this Ascending Platform? I had to come all this way to cook for you. This is really a lot of trouble."
Zhenhua smiled calmly and replied, "The Holy Spirit Douluo wants me to personally demonstrate the entire process of Heaven Forging for her junior."
Upon hearing this, Makino's brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Ke Zhenhua, your current physical condition—"
Heavenly Forging can create divine-grade metals, and the four-word battle armor forged from divine-grade metals is hailed as the armor of demigods by the Soul Master world, possessing the potential to transcend this world.
However, the emergence of this possibility naturally comes at a price.
The divine craftsman needs to take the brunt of the damage from the tribulation lightning, replacing the newly formed celestial forged metal.
This is why, even though Zhenhua is in his prime and his cultivation has reached the level of a Title Douluo, his own vitality is unusually weak.
It's no exaggeration to say that, given Zhenhua's current physical condition, he might not have the energy to forge another set of Heavenly Forging metals after creating several sets of four-word battle armors.
Zhenhua waved his hand, a rare look of joy on his face.
"Do you know how old that junior brought by the Holy Spirit Douluo is this year, and what level of blacksmith he has reached?"
Before Mu Ye could even guess, Zhen Hua stood up excitedly from his seat, his hands resting on the table.
"A twenty-year-old who is already a genuine level eight blacksmith."
Seeing his old friend so excited that he was almost incoherent, Makino immediately understood why his friend was so happy.
But then, he looked puzzled.
"Logically speaking, shouldn't all blacksmiths in the Federation have already registered with the Blacksmiths Association?"
How can there still be such wild geniuses scattered around? Besides, their forging talent is simply too terrifying.
As a longtime friend of Zhenhua, he himself is obsessed with building god-level mechs.
He naturally understood just how much more difficult it was to level up the blacksmith sub-profession compared to other sub-professions.
To put it bluntly, even this master craftsman in front of us was only at the level of a seventh-grade blacksmith when he was twenty years old.
Those ordinary forging geniuses who can reach the level of a fourth-level forging master at this age can be considered to have exceptional talent.
Upon hearing this, Zhenhua first nodded, then shook his head, and said meaningfully, "Mu Ye, have you forgotten that the Holy Spirit Douluo was secretly cultivated by the Federation?"
"Since the Federation can cultivate a Holy Spirit Douluo, it can naturally cultivate a second young person with the same extraordinary talent."
Seemingly aware of his friend's concerns, he then reassured him, "Don't worry, I didn't act rashly."
After I meet him, I will observe him carefully for a period of time. Only if his character and talent are truly exceptional will I consider entrusting him with the position of president of the Blacksmiths' Association.
Seeing that his old friend of many years had finally found a worthy successor to shoulder the heavy burden, Makino was genuinely happy for him, and a hearty smile appeared on his face: "In that case, when will they arrive? I'll prepare in advance and let them taste my specialty dishes later, as a welcome feast for them."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door, and a respectful voice came from outside.
"President, His Holiness the Holy Spirit has arrived and is now waiting in the reception room."
Upon hearing this, Makino immediately stood up and patted his pristine white chef's uniform.
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's all get back to our own business. I'll go to the kitchen to start preparing, and by the time you finish your training, I should be able to have lunch ready for you."
"That's excellent." Zhenhua nodded in satisfaction.
