Chapter 95 Bestowing Treasures, the First Appearance of the Divine Realm
On his way back to Shrek Academy, Lan Minghua began working on the creation of the Black Armor and the Three Treasures Pearl, two high-level defensive magical artifacts.
For him, who had already cultivated the Divine Craftsmanship to the highest level, making these magical artifacts was not a difficult task.
Although time was tight, a little over a day was enough for him to finish.
He gently stroked the azure bull python scales in his hand and murmured, "As expected of materials from a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Three Treasures Beads and Black Douluo Armor made from them have enough defensive power to withstand the attacks of a Title Douluo."
Originally, he only wanted to make some magical artifacts that could withstand attacks from Contra, since excessive protection might slow down the growth of Oscar and the others.
However, considering the unexpected events that might occur during the Soul Master Exchange Competition, he decided to upgrade the defensive capabilities of his magical artifact to an even higher level.
"Fine, since I've already started, I might as well do my best." Lan Minghua no longer hesitated and quickened his pace.
In addition to defensive magical artifacts, he also crafted several offensive magical artifacts for unforeseen circumstances.
As night fell, Lan Minghua had already returned to Shrek Academy.
Traveling between Holy Soul Village and Star Dou Great Forest in one day did not take too much time for him.
More importantly, all the defensive artifacts have been completed.
"Let's go see what those kids are up to."
Lan Minghua smiled slightly, and with a flash, he appeared silently at the training ground of Oscar and the others.
At this moment, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan are diligently cultivating.
Lan Minghua observed from a distance for a while, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, your soul power has stabilized at level forty-two."
Although they are only Soul Masters, with their ten-thousand-year soul rings and unique martial arts manuals, their strength has already surpassed that of Soul Masters of the same level.
Even when facing opponents at the Soul King level, they have the ability to fight.
Lan Minghua coughed softly, drawing the attention of the three of them.
"Master!" Oscar was the first to react, approaching with a beaming smile. "Where have you been today? I haven't seen you all day!"
Lan Minghua glanced at him and said indifferently, "Stop practicing, everyone. Come here for a moment, I have something to say."
Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan also came over, and the three of them stood in a row, their eyes all fixed on Lan Minghua.
"The day after tomorrow, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will hold a wedding banquet for Tang San and Ning Rongrong, and at the same time, a Soul Master exchange competition will also be held."
Lan Minghua got straight to the point, saying, "I plan to take you to participate in the Soul Master Exchange Competition, which will be a good opportunity for you to gain some experience."
"Tang San and Ning Rongrong?" Oscar paused for a moment, a fleeting hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He scratched his head and chuckled, "Master, what's the scale of this Soul Master Exchange Tournament like? Who are the participants?"
Lan Minghua glanced at him, his tone serious: "Don't be careless. All the participants in this exchange competition are under thirty years old. That means you might face opponents who are more than ten years older than you. Their soul power level may not be higher than yours, but their combat experience and proficiency in soul skills may far surpass yours."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and calmly analyzed, "Age is indeed our disadvantage. Moreover, the direct disciples of the three upper sects are likely to participate as well. They are not comparable to ordinary soul masters; their soul power has probably already reached the Soul King level."
Dugu Yan picked up the conversation, adding, "Not only that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has an old grudge against you, Master, and they might resort to some underhanded tactics during the competition. Although they can't pose a threat to you, Master, they can pose a threat to us."
Lan Minghua nodded approvingly: "I'm very pleased that you could think of these things."
As he spoke, he took out the Three Treasures Pearl and the Black Armor from his pouch and handed them to Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Yan respectively.
"These are the Three Treasures Beads and the Black Armor, both defensive soul tools. The Three Treasures Beads can withstand three full-force attacks from a Soul Emperor-level Soul Master, while the Black Armor can temporarily increase your attack and defense."
Lan Minghua did not reveal the true defensive capabilities of the Black Battle Armor and the Three Treasures Pearl, only saying that they could withstand the attacks of the Soul Emperor.
After all, if they knew that these magical artifacts could even withstand attacks from Title Douluo, they might become complacent in the Soul Master Exchange Competition.
This might harm them.
Flowers grown in a greenhouse can never compare to those born under the heavens.
As their teacher, Lan Minghua did not want them to rely too much on external aids in battle.
They want them to use what they teach to completely dominate the younger generation.
Oscar accepted the magical artifact, a glint of excitement in his eyes: "Thank you, Master! With these, we're sure to achieve great results in the Soul Master Exchange Competition!"
Lan Minghua smiled faintly: "Don't be too happy yet. Magical artifacts are just an aid; your true strength still depends on yourselves. Prepare well; the competition is the day after tomorrow."
"Yes, Master!" the three replied in unison.
After leaving, Lan Minghua frowned and looked up at a certain direction in the sky.
"Was that... divine power?" he thought to himself.
As someone whose overall strength has reached level ninety-nine, Lan Minghua has extremely keen senses.
Just now, Oscar felt a sense of loss upon hearing the news about Tang San and Ning Rongrong.
It was at that moment that Lan Minghua sensed a power different from soul power emanating from an unknown place.
In the Douluo Continent, the only power that surpasses soul power is divine power.
The latest novel is first published here!
Although that divine power was weak, it could not be ignored.
Based on Lan Minghua's experience using the "Rotten Life Peak Experience Card," the owner of that divine power had not reached the level of a first-level god or a god-king.
"The gods of the divine realm have indeed been watching the continent all along," Lan Minghua thought with a cold laugh.
He knew perfectly well that although the divine realm had rules prohibiting deities from interfering in mortal affairs.
But this rule is meaningless to powerful gods.
Among them are the sea god, the Asura god, and the Rakshasa god, who have long since interfered in human affairs.
As for the deities related to Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar, and who are below the level of first-level gods, there are only two candidates.
"Is she the Nine-Colored Goddess or the God of Food?" Lan Minghua's gaze turned icy, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. "Forget it, I don't care what kind of god you are. If you dare to interfere with my disciple's own choice, even if you are a god, I will kill you to prove it."
Lan Minghua currently possesses the "Peak of Lan Minghua" experience card, making it very easy for him to kill a level 2 god.
In the realm of gods, a somewhat lewd-looking man suddenly felt a great terror and abruptly opened his eyes, his forehead covered in sweat.
"What's going on? Has the Asura God-King discovered my interference in human affairs?"
This person, no, this god, is none other than the second-level deity of the divine realm, the God of Food.
He was startled and quickly withdrew his power.
"Forget it, that kid is a food-type soul master after all. Even if his fate goes astray, he can only inherit my position as the God of Food when he becomes a god."
The God of Food wasn't stupid; he wouldn't offend the God of Asura for this, so he withdrew all his power and dared not interfere with the human world.
Seeing that the divine power had not reappeared, Lan Minghua snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.
"Hmph, they're quite sensible. If they really remain stubborn, I wouldn't mind marching on the realm of gods."
He thought to himself, and then stopped paying attention.
However, it also served as a wake-up call for Lan Minghua, reminding him that Limit Douluo in Douluo Continent is not the most powerful existence.
Three feet above your head, there is a divine realm!
Therefore, becoming stronger is also his next task.
Meanwhile, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Haotian School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and the Heaven Dou Empire have all made preparations.
They're just waiting to lure him into the trap, to catch Lan Minghua like a turtle in a jar!
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Tang San stood by the window, his gaze deep, a wicked smile playing on his lips, looking determined to succeed.
"Everything has been arranged, just waiting for you to walk right into the trap. In this play, I, Tang San, am determined to be the protagonist!"
