Douluo: System Cross-Dressing as Qian Renxue Empress Consort

Lou Gao surrendered.

All the rare metals in the room, including the "metal" he had been studying, were now in Li Yu possession.

In the end, the desire for "knowledge" triumphed over all the "wealth" in the room.

He was just too eager to progress.

Of course, the more crucial factor was that Li Yu told Lou Gao that he had the means to disassemble the special metal that had caused Lou Gao so much trouble.

Lou Gao didn't believe it.

As a god-level blacksmith, if he couldn't analyze the metal, how could a "layman" possibly break it down?

This was an insult to the title of "god-level blacksmith."

Thus, Li Yu waved his hand and summoned [Ying Yu], which immediately consumed the troublesome metal right before Lou Gao's eyes.

"Huh?"

Lou Gao looked at the metal block in disbelief, his words a little unclear. "You, you, you... this... you're cheating!"

"Don't worry, Senior Lou, I'm just keeping my word," Li Yu quickly reassured him.

"..."

Lou Gao opened his mouth in pain but couldn't say anything in response.

Li Yu then had [Yi] swallow all the rare metals in the room right in front of him.

Of course, to prevent Lou Gao from feeling too disheartened, Li Yu left some "decorative" pieces behind.

In the end, when [Yi] landed in Li Yu hand, Li Yu could clearly sense that its weight had increased significantly.

At the same time, possibly due to the influence of the special "metal," [Yi] itself had turned dark gray, emitting a strange aura.

After consuming the special "metal," Li Yu now understood its properties much more clearly.

After being struck by Lou Gao, the "damaged" edges of the metal didn't just "remember" its previous form like Li Yu had thought.

Instead, it had the ability to "regenerate!"

This seemed similar to [Yi]'s characteristics, but there were also some differences.

[Yi] grew by constantly devouring things, but the special "metal" seemed to naturally possess a characteristic of "growth."

"Did my deduction miss the mark?" Li Yu frowned.

After he had linked the aura from the special "metal" to the Holy Spirit Cult, he originally thought that the Holy Spirit Cult leader might have tried to "grow" the metal.

After all, if it fell into Lou Gao's hands, with his personality, he would certainly dive deep into research. Once its "dissolution" property was discovered, Lou Gao would try to continuously integrate other metals...

This indeed was the case, as Lou Gao had tried to do that.

But now...

Li Yu rejected this hypothesis.

Given the Holy Spirit Cult leader's strength, if they wanted to "cultivate" this metal, they could just raid Gengxin City, no need for all this effort.

So, was it really an accident that Lou Gao found this special "metal"?

Li Yu couldn't accept this conclusion.

"Well, the 'metal' is now in my hands, and whatever plans they had, they're now 'bankrupt.'"

Having reached no further conclusions, Li Yu didn't bother with the matter anymore.

"Well, what's the situation with it?" Lou Gao asked, still unwilling to give up and staring at [Yi] in Li Yu hand.

It seemed as if he could just pretend it hadn't happened if he learned its details.

"Regeneration," Li Yu answered plainly.

"Regeneration?" Lou Gao was taken aback.

Li Yu nodded. "It's a combination of 'regeneration' and 'growth,' meaning it both reproduces and grows."

Lou Gao's eyes immediately turned red.

He had really missed out!

Thud thud!

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Noticing that Li Yu had disappeared, Titan and Si Long, who had been hearing noises from within, couldn't hold back and knocked on the door.

Titan knew that Li Yu possessed spatial powers. So when he noticed that Li Yu had vanished, he didn't rush to search.

With Li Yu abilities, he could either have entered the room or left the building.

Either way, it wasn't something Titan could interfere with.

So, he and Si Long just waited outside.

During this time, Titan looked at Si Long in confusion and asked, "You don't know who that was?"

"It doesn't matter who they are; no one can break the teacher's rules," Si Long replied matter-of-factly, completely uninterested in Li Yu identity.

Titan immediately understood—this group really spent all their time on blacksmithing and paid no attention to the outside world.

Even though Li Yu had gained widespread fame after winning the Soul Master Tournament, Si Long didn't recognize him.

Titan had to change his approach and said, "You do know there are three god-level blacksmiths in our Blacksmith Association, right?"

"Senior Titan, I know you're one of the god-level blacksmiths. Do you really have to show off in front of me?" Si Long pouted.

Although Si Long was a disciple of Lou Gao, he had been taught by Titan as well, so he wasn't too formal when speaking with him.

"...You brat." Titan slapped Si Long on the head. "No manners. Is this how your master taught you?"

After that, he ignored whether Si Long was hurt or not and said, "I'm talking about the other god-level blacksmith."

"Ah, you mean Lord Tang Hao! I know." Si Long rubbed his head, his eyes filled with admiration.

Tang Hao wasn't only the youngest Title Douluo but also the youngest god-level blacksmith.

He was truly a genius.

Si Long, of course, admired Tang Hao greatly.

"Then do you know that Tang Hao is dead?" Titan's expression became complicated.

Regarding Tang Hao, Titan's feelings were similarly complex.

The single-attribute sects were abandoned, and Tang Hao could be said to be the culprit.

But before all of this, anyone from the single-attribute sects would have greatly admired Tang Hao.

Even though he was older, Titan was no exception.

However, after everything that had happened, he had long since lost faith in him—and even in the Clear Sky Sect.

He recalled not long ago the ridiculous "summoning order" from Clear Sky Sect.

At this point, not only had Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and the other three elders of Clear Sky Sect been wiped out under his nose, but even without that, what was there left for them to preserve in Clear Sky Sect?

When they were abandoned, not a single hesitation was shown. Now, when they were in trouble, they wanted help?

Was there any such good thing in the world?

Did they really think that the Clear Sky Sect was still the same Clear Sky Sect that had been revered by the single-attribute sects?

Titan sneered.

Thus, none of the four clans— Strength, Defense, Speed and Breaking —responded to the Clear Sky Sect's "summoning order."

They had weathered their own hardships after the low point, and now they had no interest in Clear Sky Sect's "closeness." In fact, they were even somewhat repulsed by it.

"By the way, do you think Clear Sky Sect's 'summoning order' is meant to disrupt the coronation and wedding ceremony?"

Titan's mind flashed with an ominous premonition. "No matter what, I must inform Her Highness Li Yu."

Titan made up his mind and decided quickly.

At this point, Li Yu was the future. If he had the opportunity, Titan certainly wanted to hold on to Li Yu coattails.

If possible, it would be best to bring the other three good brothers along.

At this moment, the door opened.
