The Holy Spirit Sect's reaction to Lan Fuzi's appearance in such a public place was not important to Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er. They were not surprised by her presence in this session. They thought that Lan Fuzi must have a good relationship with Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yuena since they could go shopping together.
For this kind of thing that might replace forging to some extent, the City of Miracles would surely find someone they could trust completely. Lan Fuzi had a connection with Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yuena, so her appearance was not inconsistent with Tang Wulin's expectations.
Compared to Lan Fuzi's identity, Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er were more curious about her strength. After all, Lan Fuzi had been saying that she wanted to challenge them as the Shrek Seven Monsters. She looked confident, and it was not just talk.
Tang Wulin and Dai Yun'er were staring at the virtual screen intently. Ling Hongchen had not started his demonstration yet. They were obviously not looking at him, but at the blue-haired girl. Wu Zhangkong asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do Wulin and Yun'er know this girl on the stage?"
Dai Yun'er nodded and said, "This is the girl we mentioned before who was with Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yuena. She is the one who wants to replace Anping and Gu Yuena in the battle. I don't know how strong she is."
Xie Xie said disdainfully, "She doesn't look like much, but she still wants to challenge us Shrek Seven Monsters. She is really shameless."
He said this partly because he was unhappy with the City of Miracles, and partly because it was the first time he saw Lan Fuzi with Anping and Gu Yuena.
Xie Xie thought that Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu were fine. They had known Anping and Gu Yuena for a long time. Lan Fuzi had obviously met them recently. How could she be more powerful than Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu?
But Xie Xie was not being fair. Lan Fuzi didn't look very old. She was about the same age as Xu Xiaoyan and Gu Yuena, maybe a little older.
They had just lost badly to Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu, and then a girl who looked their age appeared and challenged them as the Shrek Seven Monsters. Xie Xie couldn't believe that she was another person like Xu Xiaoyan and Le Zhengyu.
Xie Xie was not the only one who didn't believe it. Xu Lizhi, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Yuan En Yehui also doubted it, but they only frowned slightly and didn't say anything.
Wu Zhangkong glared at Xie Xie and said, "Xie Xie, have you forgotten how you lost before? You should let Yun'er finish what she has to say before you judge."
Xie Xie respected Wu Zhangkong, who had been his teacher since Eastsea Academy, so he quickly apologized. "Teacher Wu, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
He then looked at Dai Yun'er, who had been interrupted by him, and wanted to hear what she would say. The others also looked at Dai Yun'er, wondering how strong Lan Fuzi was.
Dai Yun'er continued, "We don't know much about this girl. We only heard Anping call her Lan Fuzi, and I guess that's her name. As for her strength, I haven't seen it myself, but it should be stronger than ours combined."
"She said that she wanted to make a life-or-death contract with us. Anping also said that Lan Fuzi was stronger than us. He didn't seem to be lying. As for how much stronger, I don't know. I have no idea."
Everyone frowned when they heard what Dai Yun'er said.
She wondered if her family had offended someone, who wanted to fight them to the death. But she couldn't think of any reason. None of the Shrek Seven Devils felt that their family had any conflict with any power.
Zhuo Shi and Wu Zhangkong were also puzzled. They thought that Shrek Academy was dedicated to the safety of the continent, and always fought against evil forces. It didn't accept students from any faction, and it shouldn't have any enemies.
While they were thinking, Ling Hongchen started to act. He handled various materials and asked Lan Fuzi to help him. He asked Lan Fuzi to inject soul power here and there.
When he didn't need to inject soul power into different props, Lan Fuzi was not idle. She kept injecting soul power into a carving knife with a soul storage formation.
Ling Hongchen hardly used his soul power unless it was necessary. It was not that he lacked soul power. He was a Titled Douluo, after all. He had plenty of energy.
The main purpose of doing this was to make the spiritual weapon more suitable for Lan Fuzi. Ideally, it should be made by Lan Fuzi herself for a better fit. But since Lan Fuzi didn't know anything about this, he could only do it this way.
As Ling Hongchen worked step by step, no one could understand what he was doing, whether they knew about forging or not. They couldn't figure out why these props had such functions.
The blacksmiths didn't understand how the soul smelting furnace could melt metal so easily. Could the weapons made this way really be integrated into the body? They knew that forging required at least spirit-forged metal to be integrated into the body.
Tang Wulin, as a blacksmith, was a bit worried. If this method of melting metal could only be used to make spiritual weapons, then it was fine. But if it could also be used to make battle armor, then it was not good for blacksmiths like them.
The blacksmiths were anxious, but Ling Hongchen, who had been silent, spoke up. He said, "I'm sure some of you are wondering if melting metal like this can be used to make battle armor. I can tell you for sure that it can."
He continued to work hard, and he didn't care about the blacksmiths' reactions. If he was still the dean of Sun Moon Academy, he wouldn't do such a thing to offend the Blacksmith Association.
But since Zhenhua, the only master of the Blacksmith Association, had announced that he had joined the Tang Sect, they had nothing to worry about in the City of Miracles.
He didn't need to mention that they hadn't developed a spiritual weapon of the same level as the four-word battle armor. After all, even if a spiritual weapon was more convenient and cost-effective than a battle armor, not many people could afford to make it to the level of a four-word battle armor.
Besides, they already had some ideas for the four-word battle armor level spiritual weapon, and they believed they would be able to achieve it soon.
