Chapter 95 Bestowing Treasures, the First Appearance of the Divine Realm
On his way back to Shrek Academy, Lan Minghua had already begun crafting two high-level defensive magical artifacts: the Black Bull Armor and the Three Treasure Pearls.
For him, having already cultivated the Divine Machine Hundred Refinements to its ultimate level, crafting these artifacts was not difficult.
Although time was tight, a little over a day was enough for him to complete them.
He gently stroked the scales of the Azure Bull Python in his hand, murmuring, "As expected of materials from a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Three Treasure Pearls and Black Bull Armor made from them have enough defensive power to withstand attacks from a Title Douluo."
Originally, he only intended to create artifacts capable of resisting attacks from Soul Douluos, as excessive protection might slow down the growth of Oscar and the others.
However, considering the potential unforeseen circumstances during the Soul Master Exchange Competition, he decided to raise the defensive power of the artifacts to a higher level.
"Well, since I'm starting, I might as well do my best." Lan Minghua no longer hesitated and quickened his pace.
In addition to defensive artifacts, he also crafted several offensive artifacts as a precaution.
As night fell, Lan Minghua had already returned to Shrek Academy.
Traveling between Holy Soul Village and Star Dou Great Forest in a single day wasn't too time-consuming for him.
More importantly, all the defensive artifacts were complete.
"Let's go see what those little ones are up to."
Lan Minghua smiled slightly, his figure flashing as he silently appeared where Oscar and the others were training.
At this moment, Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan were diligently cultivating.
Lan Minghua observed them from afar for a while, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, their soul power has stabilized at level forty-two."
Although they were only Soul Masters, with their ten-thousand-year soul rings and unique martial arts manuals, their strength had already surpassed that of Soul Masters of the same level.
Even against Soul King level opponents, they had the power to fight.
Lan Minghua coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the three.
"Master!" Oscar was the first to react, approaching with a beaming smile, "Where have you been today? We haven't seen you all day!"
Lan Minghua glanced at him and said calmly, "Stop practicing, all of you. 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 be holding a wedding banquet for Tang San and Ning Rongrong, and there will also be a Soul Master Exchange Competition,"
Lan Minghua said bluntly. "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 was stunned for a moment, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
He scratched his head and chuckled, "Master, what's the scale of this Soul Master Exchange Tournament? Who are the participants?"
Lan Minghua glanced at him, his tone serious, "Don't be careless. All the participants in this exchange tournament are under thirty years old. That means you might face opponents more than ten years older than you. Their soul power level might not be higher than yours, but their combat experience and soul skill proficiency might far surpass yours."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, calmly analyzing, "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
chimed in, adding, "Not only that, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has an old grudge against you, Master. They might resort to some tricks in 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 pleased that you can think of these things."
As he spoke, he took out the Three Treasure Beads and the Black Battle Armor from his Devouring Pouch and handed them to Oscar, Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran, and Dugu Yan respectively.
"These are the Three Treasure Beads and the Black Douluo Armor, both defensive soul tools. The Three Treasure Beads can withstand three full-force attacks from a Soul Emperor-level Soul Master, while the Black Douluo Armor can temporarily boost your attack and defense."
Lan Minghua didn't reveal the true defensive capabilities of the Black Douluo Armor and the Three Treasure Beads, only stating that they could withstand attacks from Soul Emperors.
After all, if they knew these magical artifacts could even withstand attacks from Title Douluos, they might become complacent in the Soul Master Exchange Competition.
That would likely harm them.
Flowers in a greenhouse cannot compare to the chosen ones.
As their teacher, Lan Minghua didn't want them to rely too much on external tools in battle. They wanted them to use what he taught to crush the younger generation.
Oscar accepted the magical artifact, a glint of excitement in his eyes: "Thank you, Master! With these, we'll definitely achieve good results in the Soul Master Exchange Competition!"
Lan Minghua smiled faintly: "Don't be too happy yet. The magical artifact is 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.
"That was... divine power?" he thought to himself.
As someone whose overall strength reached level ninety-nine, Lan Minghua's senses were extremely sharp.
Just now, the moment Oscar heard news of Tang San and Ning Rongrong, he felt a sense of loss.
It was at that moment that Lan Minghua sensed a power different from soul power emanating from an unknown place.
And on the Douluo Continent, the only power surpassing soul power is divine power.
Although that divine power was weak, it was not to be ignored.
Based on Lan Minghua's experience using the "Rotten Life Peak Experience Card," the owner of that divine power hadn't reached the level of a first-level god or a god-king.
"The gods of the God Realm have indeed been watching the continent all along," Lan Minghua thought with a cold laugh.
He knew perfectly well that while the God Realm had rules prohibiting gods from interfering in mortal affairs
, this rule was practically meaningless to powerful gods.
The Sea God, the Asura God, and the Rakshasa God had already intervened in human affairs multiple times.
And the gods related to Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Oscar, especially those below the first-level god level, could only be two candidates.
"Is it the Nine-Colored Goddess or the God of Food?" Lan Minghua's gaze turned icy, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. "Never mind, I don't care what kind of god you are. If you dare interfere with my disciple's own choice, even if you're a god, I'll kill you."
Lan Minghua now possessed the "Rotten Life Peak Experience Card," making killing a second-level god a piece of cake.
In the God Realm, a somewhat lewd-looking man suddenly sensed something terrifying, abruptly opening his eyes, his forehead covered in sweat.
"What's going on? Did the Asura God King discover my interference in the mortal realm?"
This person—no, this god—was none other than the God of Food, a second-level deity in the God Realm.
Startled, he quickly withdrew his power.
"Forget it, that kid is ultimately a food-type Soul Master. Even if his fate has taken a turn, 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 Asura God for this. He immediately withdrew all his power, not daring to interfere in the mortal realm.
Seeing that divine power hadn't reappeared, Lan Minghua snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.
"Hmph, quite sensible. If he's truly stubborn, I wouldn't mind storming the God Realm."
He thought to himself, then stopped paying attention.
However, this also served as a warning to Lan Minghua: the Limit Douluo in the Douluo Continent wasn't the strongest existence. The God Realm was always
watching!
Therefore, becoming stronger was also his next task.
Meanwhile, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Clear Sky School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and the Heaven Dou Empire were all prepared.
They were just waiting to lure Lan Minghua into a trap, to catch him 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, his expression one of absolute certainty.
"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!"
