Chapter 1733: The Changed Ling Zichen

The change began after she came back from the War God Hall.

Tang Wulin braced himself for the director’s storm-like rage. After all, it was he who hid the truth from her.

Yet, he did not expect Ling Zichen would just leave right after they came back. She told the others that she was going to the Tang Sect to study the Eternal Heaven. She did not even scold him at all.

Tang Wulin was startled. He was incredulous even. Nevertheless, he had no choice but to believe because the truth was right before his eyes!

It was better for her to leave anyway so he did not have to deal with her. He then engaged in closed door cultivation.

After engaging in closed-door cultivation for a month, Ling Zichen came back.

When Tang Wulin met the director of the Tang Sect’s Soul Technology Research Centre once again, he discovered in astonishment that Ling Zichen’s entire person had undergone tremendous change.

She was cold, arrogant even with a tinge of dominance. At present, it felt as if she was reborn as a new person. Her temperament was gone, replaced with a fresh and brilliant nature. Her dominance had disappeared as well. Instead, she was filled with an infectious vigor.

Tang Wulin beat about the bush in an attempt to ask what happened to her. She told Tang Wulin that she had changed. Her research on the Eternal Heaven helped resolve her many dilemmas, one at a time, over the years. Moreover, she came up with many new ideas in her research. After a month, she found that she had achieved more gains than for the past ten years.

The most alarming part for Tang Wulin was that Director Ling thanked him sincerely.

It really startled Tang Wulin.

Ling Zichen then told him she came up with an ideal solution for the soul circuit of his four-word battle armor. As long as Tang Wulin could forge the metal successfully, she would be able to embed the soul circuit perfectly onto it. It would be an unrivaled set of battle armor, the perfect combination of soul technology and martial soul.

In addition, she had even figured out a way to reduce the difficulty of the Heavenly Refinement for forging the metals.

Tang Wulin gave it a shot. Just as she had mentioned, the forging difficulty was truly reduced. He only spent a few days experimenting with the method before he successfully completed the forging of five metals in a single attempt.

Hence, Director Ling Zichen officially joined his forging work.

The combination of the Seven-Colored Lotus Flower and Ling Zichen’s soul technology showed Tang Wulin the possibility of fuse-forging seven metals. He had been working hard to achieve it for the past two months.

If he succeeded, he could begin to forge and make his battle armor. At the same time, he could also use the Seven-Colored Lotus Flower to refine his comrades’ battle armors such that their four-word battle armors would be even more powerful.

In reality, Tang Wulin’s status as a Divine Craftsman was more beneficial to Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect than to himself.

Having divine craft skills were extremely effective at elevating a soul master’s organization.

The Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie helped them to acquire the Eternal Heaven. It did not cause a great clamor in the War God Hall largely because Tang Wulin was a Divine Craftsman. He had promised to forge a set of four-word battle armor for them.

If he could do it once, he could do it again naturally. It was an exchange which benefited the War God Hall anyway.

Tang Wulin remained uneasy and did not adapt well to Ling Zichen smiling sweetly, albeit he had seen her in this state for a long time.

Ling Zichen rubbed her cheeks. “Why are you looking at me like this? Is there something wrong?”

Tang Wulin hastily shook his head. “Nothing. I’m going to start now.”

Ling Zichen said, “Go ahead. I’ll be observing from here.” As a scientist but not a soul master, her observation and calculation abilities were far superior to a soul master’s. It had also proven that her assistance was quite helpful to Tang Wulin’s Heavenly Refinement be it her data collection analysis or forging process analysis. Her research technology was also important to him.

As she was speaking, speckles of pink radiance illuminated on Ling Zichen’s body. She immediately unleashed her super divine mecha.

The remnant tremor of the Heavenly Refinement was too powerful. It attracted the elemental calamity as well. It was not something that an ordinary person like her could withstand. Even the tiniest bit of the remnant tremor could possibly turn her into flying dust.

Tang Wulin walked over to the forging table in the center of the room. Under close inspection, one could see the surface of the forging table emit a glossy shine. Furthermore, it was a four-colored shine.

A high-ranking blacksmith would certainly turn pale in shock upon seeing this. It was because the surface of the forging table was made with a god-ranked metal. It also signified that the material was forged using the Heavenly Refinement and baptised in the four-colored elemental calamity. It contained the profundity of the four elements namely: water, fire, earth, and wine.

3The description of ‘luxurious’ was no longer apt. It was simply extravagant!

Tang Wulin’s belief was that it was necessary to have effective tools to do good work. Moreover, this was an asset he gave to Shrek. The god-ranked forging table’s material actually comprised the products from the repeated failures of fuse-forging seven metals. The remaining god-ranked metal was at last forged into the forging table.

He had no choice because an ordinary forging table was utterly incapable of withstanding his forging process.

He procured the seven pieces of metals which had been prepared earlier. The metals were placed on the forging table. Before he could confirm that he could successfully fuse-forged seven types of metals, he would never experiment with his Dragon Moon Song battle armor.

Tang Wulin closed his eyes and gradually calmed his spirit and mind. It was only when he was in a quiet environment that he could be in his purest state. He could be focused as one.

Ling Zichen stood not far away cladded in a mecha, and silently observed the man standing before herself. Ever since she straightened out her thinking, her entire person changed tremendously. She returned after she was done with her research on the Eternal Heaven.

The more time she spent with Tang Wulin, the more she discovered that she was incapable of freeing herself from him. She had no idea what sort of feeling this was, but she was certain it was her first time experiencing such an emotion in her life.

The outcome was no longer important to her. She devoted herself completely allowing herself to experience the feeling in a more profound manner which brought her joy. Gradually, she began to feel like everything she did for him was worth it. On the other hand, this same feeling seemed to make her heart open up completely. Recently, she was frequently filled with inspiration which allowed her to progress immensely in her research.

Although these advancements were made so she could help him make his four-word battle armor, she did it willingly.

She spent every day accompanying him during the forging process. The experience was especially pleasant for her.

Ten minutes passed before Tang Wulin suddenly opened his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes, the feeling of a volcano eruption burst forth from his body akin to the awakening of a beast. It felt as if he was a giant dragon which had just awakened from a deep sleep. The sound of a dragon’s roar was heard corresponding to the golden dragon pattern which emerged faintly around his body.

What a waste it was that Ling Zichen missed the Thousand Flying Dragons scene previously. Otherwise, she would certainly be able to recognize that the current scene was a scaled-down version of that scene in the past.

Tang Wulin raised his right hand and grasped at thin air. At once, the Seven-Colored Lotus Flower flame pattern ignited in his palm. A peculiar-looking seven-colored flame penetrated his palm.

The seven-colored flame appeared to be extremely gentle. One could not even feel its temperature, and it exuded a sense of breathtaking beauty. Tang Wulin had already used it multiple times. In fact, he was well aware that he could never find a flame with this temperature in any part of the entire Douluo Continent.

It was a true god-ranked flame!

The gentle seven-colored flame floated under his thought control. A moment later, it exploded in the air abruptly. It transformed into seven different colored flames before coming to rest on the seven pieces of rare metals.

At the moment the flames landed on the metals, the seven rare metals began to change instantly.

Initially, each metal had its own special shine. Suddenly, the shine was unleashed to its maximum point. It was as if these metals were illuminated by someone. The metals discharged seven-colored flames which shone with a peculiar, incomparable sense of beauty.
