"Gu Yue, have you decided on the metal you want to use?" Jing Shaoyu looked at Gu Yue and asked.
"Magic Silver," Gu Yue replied, clearly having prepared in advance.
"Magic Silver, huh," Jing Shaoyu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement, saying, "That's a good choice."
Magic Silver ranks in the middle tier among all known rare metals published by the Blacksmith Association. Its physical properties are not outstanding compared to most rare metals, similar to original gold, and it is famous for its special characteristics. The only trait of Magic Silver is its elemental affinity; it can resonate with any element, making it a common material for long-range Soul Guidance Device cores. It is quite suitable for Gu Yue, who excels in using elements.
"Have you considered directly going for the Two-Word Battle Armor?" Gu Yue leaned closer to Jing Shaoyu, her fragrant lips brushing against his ear as she asked in an extremely soft voice.
Her action caught the attention of some people, like Wu Siduo and Xu Xiaoyan, who frowned, instinctively thinking that Gu Yue was being ambiguous with Jing Shaoyu, unaware that she was actually discussing something very important.
Jing Shaoyu turned his head, looking at Gu Yue in surprise.
Seeing the astonishment in Jing Shaoyu's eyes, Gu Yue smiled slightly and explained, "I met with the teacher yesterday afternoon. She said that if we want, she can directly provide us with a complete set of two-in-one or three-in-one spirit-forged alloy."
"What do you think?" Jing Shaoyu was not surprised by Leng Yaozhu's thoughts. He looked at Gu Yue and asked.
"I don't mind. Whatever you choose, I'll go with it," Gu Yue said, appearing to be in complete agreement.
"I see." Jing Shaoyu pondered, "Let's wait until I meet with the teacher this afternoon before making a decision."
"Okay." Gu Yue nodded, no longer saying much.
However, the mention of the Two-Word Battle Armor stirred Jing Shaoyu's emotions. The gap between One-Word Battle Armor and Two-Word Battle Armor is not trivial. The Two-Word Battle Armor not only requires spirit-forged metals but also demands a higher degree of fusion, making the production difficulty far exceed that of One-Word Battle Armor. Of course, the more challenging the production process, the greater the rewards. For a Battle Armor Master, the Two-Word Battle Armor represents a true qualitative change.
The Two-Word Battle Armor can connect with the Soul Master's mind and integrate into the Soul Master's body, greatly enhancing both convenience and practicality. Additionally, the Two-Word Battle Armor possesses wings, which is what qualifies it as a true Battle Armor.
For Jing Shaoyu, directly crafting a Two-Word Battle Armor is naturally more beneficial than harmful, but he still needs to consider how to proceed.
After class, Jing Shaoyu was just about to head to the cafeteria with Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yue when he received a communication from Leng Yaozhu.
"Come to the Spirit Transmission Tower."
After saying these concise words, Leng Yaozhu decisively hung up the phone, leaving Jing Shaoyu somewhat speechless.
But this was fine; he was already planning to visit Leng Yaozhu at the Spirit Transmission Tower in the afternoon. Since she had taken the initiative to notify him, he no longer needed to worry about not finding her when he arrived.
After informing the two girls, he turned and walked towards the outer city of Shrek.
The headquarters of the Spirit Transmission Tower is located on the outskirts of Shrek City, which is well-known. However, many people do not know that there is actually a shortcut from the main gate of Shrek Academy to the Spirit Transmission Tower. This is a direct route, starting from Shrek Academy and ending at the headquarters of the Spirit Transmission Tower, with no other stops in between.
The reason for this route is to facilitate the students of Shrek Academy. After all, in this era, Soul Masters cannot be separated from the Spirit Transmission Tower, especially in a prestigious place like Shrek Academy, where high-level Soul Masters and geniuses gather. The frequency of communication with the Spirit Transmission Tower is undoubtedly the highest on the continent.
Thus, Jing Shaoyu's trip to the Spirit Transmission Tower was inconspicuous. He even shared a ride with two senior sisters right at the academy gate, blending in with the local customs.
After waving goodbye to the two senior sisters, Jing Shaoyu walked straight into the elevator and went directly to the 101st floor.
"Teacher, I'm here," he called out as he stepped out of the elevator.
"Come here," Leng Yaozhu's voice came, and the next moment, Jing Shaoyu felt a moment of disorientation before he found himself in Leng Yaozhu's studio, where she was dressed in loose casual clothes, concealing her beautiful figure completely.
"Teacher," Jing Shaoyu obediently called out.
"Mm, so obedient!" Leng Yaozhu, as usual, rubbed his face. Even though he was already a thirteen-year-old boy, she didn't care. She asked, "How is it? Are you getting used to Shrek Academy?"
"Not bad," Jing Shaoyu replied. "It feels like aside from the larger space, the students being more talented, and the teachers being stronger, there's nothing particularly different."
"You really dare to say that!" Leng Yaozhu laughed upon hearing this. "What do you expect? Do you think the spiritual energy concentration at Shrek Academy is higher than outside? How could that be? Everyone is on the Douluo Continent; there's no difference!"
"That's true, heh," Jing Shaoyu scratched his head and said, "But the life energy near Sea God Lake is indeed very rich. I've only seen such dense life energy and natural aura in the Star Dou Forest."
"That's a fact," Leng Yaozhu scoffed, "There is a Golden Tree on Sea God Island that has been growing for twenty thousand years. It is the guardian tree of Shrek Academy. When you have the chance to see it up close, you will definitely be amazed. By the way, have you been to Sea God Island?"
"Is it that easy?" Jing Shaoyu waved his hand in exasperation. "I just entered Shrek Academy less than a week ago. I haven't even recognized everyone yet."
"Uh!" Leng Yaozhu paused for a moment, then said, "Haven't you already met Ya Li? Didn't she show any interest in you?"
"No," Jing Shaoyu sighed and said, "Teacher, I just found out that Na'er was actually taken as a disciple by Sky Douluo."
"Na'er?" Leng Yaozhu was taken aback for a moment, then her pretty face showed a look of surprise as she said, "Isn't that your non-blood-related sister? That somewhat annoying little girl? How could she be taken as a disciple by Yun Ming?"
Well, Leng Yaozhu still remembered the first time they met when Na'er called her "Aunt."
"Maybe it's because Na'er has great talent. Since she was brought back by the family and awakened her Martial Soul through secret methods, in just three years, she has already become a Soul Venerable," Jing Shaoyu said with a smile of satisfaction.
"That's quite a pleasant surprise," Leng Yaozhu said with a hint of indifference on her pretty face. "So what are your plans now? Do you want to modify our plan?"
"How to modify it?" Jing Shaoyu instinctively asked.
According to their original plan, it was to attract Ya Li's attention through Jing Shaoyu's Primal Spirit talent and make her consider taking him as a disciple. Then, when Ya Li proposed to take him in, he would directly refuse her, and Leng Yaozhu would appear to mock Ya Li. It was a rather childish plan, but Leng Yaozhu liked it, and Jing Shaoyu found it hard to refuse.
However, Na'er's appearance made Leng Yaozhu come up with a new idea. A sly smile appeared on her face as she said, "The previous plan was too childish and not suitable for you. Since your sister is now Yun Ming's disciple, why not let Yun Ming notice you directly? Instead of becoming Ya Li's disciple, why not directly become the disciple of the Sea God Pavilion Master? This way, you will have the qualification to inherit the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master in the future and become the leader of Shrek Academy.
Moreover, by that time, I can help Gu Yue become the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower. You two siblings will each control Shrek Academy and the Spirit Transmission Tower. Haha, just thinking about it excites me."
Upon hearing Leng Yaozhu's new plan, Jing Shaoyu was immediately shocked by her ambition. Wow, Leng Yaozhu was truly hiding her capabilities; wanting to control two major forces at once—what was she planning? To overthrow the Douluo Federation and restore the glory of Martial Soul?
"Hahaha, how about it? Are you shocked by my plan?" Leng Yaozhu, seeing Jing Shaoyu speechless in surprise, laughed proudly.
"Teacher," Jing Shaoyu took a deep breath and said, "Are you serious?"
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." Leng Yaozhu reined in her triumphant smile and said, "Actually, there isn't any new plan. Over the past few years, I've thought a lot and realized that living in the past like this is really a failure. Your life shouldn't be manipulated by my selfish desires; that's not what a teacher should do. Fortunately, it hasn't caused any major consequences yet, and it's still not too late to end it all."
"Teacher, you..." Jing Shaoyu looked at Leng Yaozhu with some uncertainty. She seemed a bit strange today.
"Don't worry, I just figured some things out," Leng Yaozhu said with a sense of relief, her aura becoming much more ethereal. "If you can really attract Yun Ming or Ya Li's attention, when they take you as a disciple, don't refuse. Becoming their disciple is the best choice for you. Their Martial Souls are similar to yours, and they can teach you more than I can. As for me, I will focus on providing you with support in other areas!"
"Teacher, you're acting strange today." Jing Shaoyu finally couldn't help but complain.
