Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

“Xiaoyuan, what's the matter?”

“I want to ask about the follow-up formula for Jade Silver.”

“Follow-up formula?” Zhen Hua's tone was obviously stunned.

He remembered what Xu Yuan had said before, that after forging the God-level Alloy, he would consider researching the follow-up formulas for Jade Silver, involving three, four, or even five rare metal fusions.

“You've forged the God-level Alloy?”

First, he was skeptical, then Zhen Hua's voice rose three octaves.

“You've forged the God-level Alloy?!”

Now it's stable, and the normal five updates begin!!!

Go, go, go!!!

Chapter 130 My Nephew Xu Yuan Has the Potential of a Divine Craftsman

Zhen Hua couldn't believe it.

Xu Yuan's ears also hurt from his voice, and he rubbed them.

“Yes, didn't I tell you before that I understood the essence of fusion forging and was adjusting the ratio of spirit, energy, and essence? I must have adjusted it to the key point. This time, I directly created a Jade Silver with a fusion degree of 97%.”

“How much?”

Zhen Hua was numb again.

A fusion degree of 95% in fusion forging is a God-level Alloy. Every percentage point above 95 is very difficult to improve. It often requires a lot of tempering and improvement to have a chance to improve in a state similar to enlightenment.

However, Xu Yuan's first success was a fusion degree of 97%!

“Xiaoyuan, perhaps the path you've chosen is correct. Any paths in this world are not without connection to each other. Pavilion Master Yun's Seven Absolutes of Forbidden Techniques, when applied to forging, have such outstanding effects.” Zhen Hua sighed.

It's a pity that true geniuses who can reach the extreme in both paths at the same time are too rare.

If one only sees the effect of the Seven Absolutes of Forbidden Techniques applied to forging and fusion, while ignoring the difficulty of cultivating the Seven Absolutes of Forbidden Techniques itself, that would be absolutely wrong.

Xu Yuan's cultivation of the Seven Absolutes of Forbidden Techniques is also...

Zhen Hua was silent at this moment.

Xu Yuan is not a normal person. His learning ability is too strong.

The reason why he seems all-around now, Zhen Hua and Mu Ye, who watched Xu Yuan cultivate the entire time, know that this is the result of Xu Yuan's own efforts.

Transforming his most proficient learning ability into combat power, transforming it into the advantages of a secondary profession, and even gradually transforming it into all-around advantages.

This is difficult to replicate, and it is also the path to becoming a strong person that Xu Yuan has walked out on his own.

“Jade Silver can be considered a basic spiritual alloy. There are also many directions for the fusion forging of the three alloys above it. Come to Tiandou City and choose for yourself.”

Xu Yuan had no objections. He also knew that Zhen Hua was asking him to go there this time not only to simply choose a method to advance Jade Silver's fusion forging, but also to guide him in some aspects of forging. Naturally, he gladly accepted.

“I'll handle the academy's affairs and go to Tiandou City in the next two days.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the communication, Zhen Hua took a deep breath and looked at his forging room.

“Fortunately, the trend that Xiaoyuan has shown in the past few years is to delve deeper into forging, and he has been practicing according to the normal path of a blacksmith, rather than purely learning the auxiliary forging method.”

At this moment, he truly realized the help that soul power cultivation and strong strength provide to secondary professions such as forging, and also knew that Xu Yuan would inevitably be able to use his advantages in soul power cultivation to advance to the Divine Craftsman more easily in the future.

He has the potential of a Divine Craftsman!

This is the evaluation given by Zhen Hua as a Divine Craftsman.

Therefore, it is also inconvenient for Xu Yuan to continue to call himself an auxiliary forging blacksmith in the future. Zhen Hua is also preparing to systematically teach Xu Yuan the forging techniques of an orthodox blacksmith this time.

After shocking his martial uncle, Xu Yuan did not return to the inner courtyard, but returned to the outer courtyard office and found Wu Zhangkong.

“Teacher Wu, I would like to ask for a leave of absence to leave the academy for a while.”

Xu Yuan went straight to the point and directly asked for leave.

Wu Zhangkong was only surprised for a moment before quickly reacting.

Shen Yi had told him that Xu Yuan would ask for leave to leave the academy every once in a while.

This was expected.

However, his expression was slightly tangled.

There are still some major events recently.

“There is still a month left for the preparation time for the exchange competition. Are you sure you are ready?” Wu Zhangkong said solemnly.

The exchange competition is an exchange between different grades. Under normal circumstances, the outcome is destined, but many times, the first graders are very motivated. When they first enter Shrek, they will feel that they are the pride of heaven. Even if the second-year seniors are also geniuses, there are still gaps between geniuses. The best of the first-year freshmen will also think that they may not have the opportunity to challenge the seniors across grades.

Especially in the case of Xu Yuan's class, the first graders are unprecedentedly strong.

Not only are the first graders full of energy, but the entire school is actually very concerned about this exchange competition.

A class that can win the exchange competition is also highly regarded in Shrek, belonging to a wave that occurs every few years.

“Teacher Wu, don't worry, I am already in the best state now. I won't say that the challenge is easy, but at least it won't be overturned.” Xu Yuan said.

Wu Zhangkong's mouth twitched.

What is called not being overturned?

We are first graders, challenging second graders across grades. Even if the challenge fails, it is not called being overturned.

This kid, don't you think that challenging across grades should be easy?

“Confidence is a good thing, but blind confidence is not advisable. The second graders are at least three years older than you, and some students have broken through to reach the Soul Sect. Although you and Wu Siduo are also overqualified in the Soul Sect, there are still many overqualified soul masters, especially in Shrek.” Wu Zhangkong entrusted.

After thinking for a while, he continued: “I plan to submit an application to the Academic Affairs Office after you have successfully challenged to continue the exchange competition and let you have an exchange competition with the third graders.”

As for the fourth grade?

Wu Zhangkong didn't think about it.

The fourth grade is a watershed, the grade at which outer court students begin to graduate!

Graduation from Shrek Outer Court means Soul King and One-Word Battle Armor Master!

In the third grade, some extremely outstanding students can create a nearly complete One-Word Battle Armor, but most of them will completely create the Battle Armor by the fourth grade, or rather, they will certify as a One-Word Battle Armor Master by the fourth grade.

One-word battle armor also has its strengths and weaknesses. During the manufacturing process, adjustments to the soul guidance array must be continuously made. With each additional battle armor component, the incomplete battle armor provides a significant boost to the soul master. This isn't just because of the extra component; it's because this component strengthens the connection between the previous components. Simultaneously, during the creation of this new component, the already completed parts of the battle armor are also being optimized.

"Teacher Wu, you can apply in advance. For this competition, with me, Wu Siduo, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Fang Yuan participating, there won't be any surprises."

Xu Yuan mentally complained that Wu Zhangkong was even more excessive than him.

Clearly, you also think that our challenge to the second grade is a certainty, a sure thing.

"How long will this leave of absence be?"

"Uncertain. It could be as short as two or three days, or as long as half a month," Xu Yuan couldn't say for sure.

Wu Zhangkong reluctantly stamped and signed the application.

"Return within a month, preferably a week before the exchange competition, leaving some time for preparation."

"Okay."

After getting his leave approved, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment before heading to Poseidon Island.

After seeking guidance on Poseidon Island, Xu Yuan didn't leave Shrek until the next day.

Unlike before, this time Xu Yuan didn't take the soul-guided train but flew to Tiandou City in his mecha!

That's right, a mecha!

Xu Yuan's own mecha.

Chapter 131: Drool-Worthy Envy

Xu Yuan's mecha was basically complete.

The reason he told Wu Siduo and the others that it wasn't finished was because the energy conversion device and energy core hadn't been made yet, and the corresponding arrays hadn't been sorted and connected.

However, if purely driven by Xu Yuan's own soul power, the mecha could already be used normally.

Compared to white-grade mechas, yellow-grade mechas have a higher energy utilization rate. Although the overall energy consumption for bursts of power is greater, a yellow-grade mecha undoubtedly consumes less energy when performing the same attack.

Just for transportation, a yellow-grade mecha is already excellent.

The yellow-grade mecha that Xu Yuan built for himself wasn't a bulky type but a lightweight mecha, further reducing the burden.

With his Soul Elder level soul power, a round trip between Shrek and Tiandou City wouldn't exhaust him, especially since he's constantly recovering his soul power.

In Xu Yuan's mecha design, a core ability included soul power recovery.

The positions for battle armor are limited, so he needs to maximize recovery as much as possible. Xu Yuan would still choose the normal battle armor master's design for the proportion of corresponding abilities within the battle armor, but the mecha has many positions.

Even a lightweight mecha has plenty of space to inscribe core arrays. Xu Yuan would naturally choose to add many functions he needs, such as recovering soul power.

Similar to support-type soul masters' soul skills, Xu Yuan inscribed three energy-related core arrays in his mecha. Two assist him in recovering soul power, and one assists him in drawing in heaven and earth vitality to cooperate with soul power for control.

That's right, in addition to the energy stored in the mecha, Xu Yuan can also draw in external heaven and earth vitality to control the mecha simultaneously. Even while using the mecha, the energy core will absorb external heaven and earth vitality for rapid recovery.

Of course, this device isn't finished yet. The third array's function is currently limited to assisting Xu Yuan in guiding heaven and earth vitality and soul power together to control the mecha.

However, even so, this mecha already surpasses most yellow-grade mechas in terms of endurance.

It's completely beyond what a yellow-grade mecha should have.

Controlling the yellow-grade mecha and flying all the way, it only took Xu Yuan half a day to reach Tiandou City.

Top floor of the Blacksmith's Association.

Xu Yuan's mecha slowly landed.

A chubby figure was already waiting.

Looking at Xu Yuan's mecha, a hint of surprise flashed in Mu Ye's eyes.

As a god-level mecha master, his vision is sharp. He could immediately tell that Xu Yuan's mecha was still missing an energy core and also saw that heaven and earth vitality accounted for a significant proportion of the energy consumed by Xu Yuan's mecha.

"How's the combat power of your mecha?" Mu Ye asked.

Xu Yuan jumped out of the mecha and, upon hearing his teacher's question, gave the data he had previously deduced.

"In terms of boosting my strength, it shouldn't be weaker than a complete set of one-word battle armor."

This sentence fully demonstrated his confidence.

Mu Ye clicked his tongue in amazement, looking around Xu Yuan's mecha.

Although it was far inferior to his Little Red, this yellow-grade mecha, what he was curious about at the moment was Xu Yuan's thinking.

After knocking and tapping up and down, exploring for less than three minutes, he also figured out most of Xu Yuan's mecha.

"Not bad, it's actually all made of thousand-refined grade one metal. The value of this mecha is estimated to be no less than a purple-grade mecha."

"It's just still lacking the energy core and energy conversion device."

"Without an energy conversion device, you can already achieve the use of heaven and earth vitality. Once you complete this device, I estimate the mecha's consumption on you will be even less."

Mu Ye clicked his tongue in amazement.

The point he admired the most was that the core arrays Xu Yuan used were all at the one-word battle armor level.

Why is battle armor so powerful?

It's because it compresses and condenses powerful effect arrays, ultimately simplifying them into core arrays that can be inscribed on a small set of armor.

The core array technology required for battle armor production far exceeds that of mechas.

However, this doesn't mean that mechas can't use these technologies.

It's just that concentrated arrays with powerful effects also require powerful metals to carry them.

Xu Yuan's mecha is all made of thousand-refined grade one, which can withstand the core arrays of one-word battle armor. Used to build the mecha, the many internal arrays are all one-word battle armor level arrays.

Overall, the effect of this yellow-grade mecha is stronger than that of a purple-grade mecha in the standard mecha.

"Yes, this mecha already has preliminary spirituality, but it's not enough. I plan to condense the mecha's spirituality on the energy core, and in order to preserve the spirituality during future mecha upgrades, I will also build the final energy core with a spirit alloy to facilitate future secondary forging upgrades."

The reason he hadn't made the energy core wasn't because he couldn't make it, but because Xu Yuan's requirements were high, and he was still waiting for his fusion forging technique to reach a higher level.
