Chapter 418: A Languished Top Student
Translator: TYZ Editor: TYZ, KLKL
A perfect square that looked as if it was drawn using a ruler appeared on the black-colored rock.
Pop. Lou Lan transford into a fork and pierced effortlessly into the centre of the square on the rock. It felt as if he was piercing into a piece of stewed pork belly. Accompanied by Blind He’s astonished gaze, the fork trembled and pulled out a cube of black rock wobbily.
The thickness of the back rock cube was at most one ter. It was thicker than what Blind He had expected. The bottom of the black rock cube was dark-red and it was still dripping with lava. For so reason, when one looked at it, he or she would think of a chunk of red braised at that was dripping glistening braised sauce.
Of course, Blind He couldn’t link it to a chunk of red braised at. He was only surprised at the temperature of the earth fire in the square-shaped hole.
Heat waves blasted his face. Without using his hand, he could clearly gauge the temperature of the earth fire here. The earth fire in this area was much hotter than the previous area’s.
However, he was still a ticulous weaponsmith.
Blind He floated down slowly from the air and kneeled on the ground. He inserted his fair and flawless palm into the square-shaped hole and shut his eyes tightly with a solemn look on his face.
With a bang, Lou Lan transford back to his usual form and looked curiously at Blind He.
Lou Lan also knew how to forge weapons. However, his forging skills still paled in comparison to Blind He’s. Most of Lou Lan’s knowledge of weapon-forging ca from books. When Master Shao was still around, he spent all his resources on upgrading Lou Lan’s sand core. This was how Lou Lan’s Midnight ca about. As for Lou Lan’s second master, Ai Hui, he was also a poor bloke. However, in the process of making See You Laters, Lou Lan had gained a decent amount of experience in weapon-forging.
Lou Lan was like a baby that was filled with curiosity towards everything new.
This characteristic of Lou Lan completely set him apart from his master Ai Hui.
Ai Hui was a practical individual. Whether or not he would be interested in sothing depended on the utility of thing itself. If it was sothing that he deed useless, he wouldn’t be bothered looking at it. However, if it was sothing that he deed useful, he would beco abnormally greedy and thirsty for it and would try to obtain it at all costs.
Lou Lan’s eyes were flickering with a red glow. He was recording and analyzing Blind He’s elental energy flow. Even though there were multiple areas that he did not understand, he still recorded the entire process patiently.
The new sand core was exceptionally powerful. Lou Lan could feel the surging power that it contained, which resembled the unpredictable, calm and tranquil sea. Even though he still had not figured out how to activate and use this powerful force, up till now, all his abilities had not reached Midnight’s limit.
Sotis, Lou Lan would wonder why Master Shao nad the new sand core as Midnight. Midnight was the darkest mont of a day and the darkest mont of nightti. Was the na implying that the sand core was as unpredictable as the darkest monts of nightti or as bright as the daybreak that would co after midnight?
Did Master Shao fulfill his wish? How was his life now?
Distracting thoughts flashed across Lou Lan’s sand core. Sotis, Lou Lan felt that he behaved lesser and lesser like a sand puppet. It was really abnormal for a sand puppet to have distracting thoughts.
His gaze returned to Blind He.
Blind He withdrew his palm and stood up slowly. "Let’s build the slting furnace here."
After settling a huge issue, Lou Lan was very happy. "We shall build the slting furnace according to Ai Hui’s design?"
"Yes," Blind He replied.
"Lou Lan shall begin then!" Lou Lan said cheerfully.
A faint smile appeared on Blind He’s pale face. He did not say anything, but he was filled with expectations. The earth fire in this area was abundant. This was the best spot to build a slting furnace. Furthermore, the design of the slting furnace had been improved by Ai Hui’s modifications.
That’s right. This was the first ti he t a tal elentalist that knew how to modify a slting furnace to such a successful extent. Even though they had only roughly tested out the modifications, the trial was enough to prove that the fire power of the slting furnace did increase significantly.
No wonder Elders Guild would confer the title of Master on Wang Shouchuan. The standard of abilities Ai Hui displayed had certainly enlightened Blind He.
Blind He was filled with anticipation for the resulting flas produced by the modified slting furnace coupled with the abundance of earth fire.
Clink, thud, clink! Lou Lan’s movents were very fast. Very soon, the building process was in full swing.
Shi Xueman and her counterparts returned to the valley without good news nor bad news.
The inside of the cave was shaped like an inverted trumpet. The entrance of the cave was small but the inside of the cave was enormous in size. And the powerful tal wind was ford precisely because of the unique shape of the cave.
There were nurous passageways in the cave. This was also why Iron Lady and her counterparts had to turn back. Scouting a cave was an arduous process that would take up a lot of ti.
There were pros and cons to having a cave that was connected to the outside world. The terrain of the valley was small and narrow. It would be impossible for them to escape if soone had blocked the entrance of the valley. The good thing of to have a cave connected to the outside world was that it provided the best escape route for them. However, the bad thing about the cave was that it also provided a route for dire beasts to invade the valley.
Therefore, appropriate arrangents had to be made.
Iron Lady looked at the drifting fog that dazzled with a flash of radiance every now and then above the valley. A look of amazent flashed across her eyes.
Was this inspired by water candles?
Sotis, she really wanted to crack open Ai Hui’s head and see what was contained inside of it.
She saw that Ai Hui was busy, hence, Iron Lady did not disturb him. She began to deploy sentries and patrols around the valley. Right now, they were situated in the depths of the Wilderness where danger might occur anyti.
anwhile Duanmu Huanghun was leading a team of wood elentalists to perfect the wood elental defense system. Various types of seeds were ticulously planted in different positions. Using their wood elental energy, the wood elentalists were able to speed up the growth of the seeds. Within two days, there were lots of young sprouts around the defensive ancient tree.
If Ai Hui was an unorthodox elentalist, then Duanmu Huanghun would be an orthodox elentalist. Due to the talent he displayed since young, his family had placed high hopes on him. Duanmu family was one of the oldest families in Avalon of Five Elents. Since young, Duanmu Huanghun received the most traditional and orthodox education.
If Duanmu Huanghun never t Ai Hui or encountered the blood catastrophe, he would have graduated from Induction Ground as the best student and beca a role model for all the students in Induction Ground.
His style of defensive arrangents were very traditional. One could even say it was a classical style. His style of defensive arrangents was completely different from his arrogant and elitist nature.
In the hands of a so-called genius, any theories or styles could shine brightly and amaze everyone in the world.
Initially, the rest of the wood elentalists did not find anything special about Duanmu Huanghun’s defensive arrangents. All they could see was that so of his requirents were too demanding and unnecessary.
For example, every plant must be of a certain distance from each other or the order in which the wood elentalists sped up the growth of the seeds must be correct. On the contrary, the concoctions that Duanmu Huanghun used to prepare these plants were commonly-seen and ordinary. There were nothing special about these concoctions at all.
However, as ti passed, everyone began to shut up. All their complaints had disappeared. Everyone sincerely admired Duanmu Huanghun’s defensive arrangents. They had been convinced by his genius.
If this was a wood elentalist’s howork or examination in Induction Ground, Duanmu Huanghun would have received full marks. Everyone believed that even the teachers in Induction Ground could not have handled this task better and more impressive than Duanmu Huanghun.
Perfect! ticulous! Impregnable!
His defensive arrangents did not seem to complint each other, but in reality, they did fit together perfectly. The ideas behind his arrangents were ingenious and the details involved were brilliant. Jiang Wei and his counterparts had been through multiple battles before and they had rich combat experience. As such, they were familiar with storming heavily fortified positions.
However, when they faced Duanmu Huanghun’s defensive arrangents, their faces turned white with fear.
Up till now, no matter how hard everyone tested and rehearsed, they could not find a single loophole in his defensive arrangents.
Just by the make of the distribution chart of the seeds that had been planted and looking at it, everyone’s eyes tangled up. At this point of ti, all the wood elentalists then rembered that Duanmu Huanghun was the legendary top student of Induction Ground.
Didn’t everyone say that he had languished? Didn’t everyone say that he fooled around in brothels day and night? Didn’t everyone say that he was utterly defeated by She Yu?
All the wood elentalists submissively followed behind the top student, sowing seeds and channelling their elental energy.
After being crushed by Duanmu Huanghun’s superb intelligence, everyone seed to have gone through a ntal rollercoaster. Right now, all of them were filled with anticipation. They could not wait to see the facial expression of their enemies when they encountered these fully grown defensive plants.
Duanmu Huang’s facial expression remained calm. However, deep down, he was actually extrely pleased with himself.
The ti and effort he spent were not in vain!
He had long thought of how to build an impregnable defense system for the valley. All he wanted was to give Ai Hui a big shock.
Duanmu Huanghun casted a glance of haughty disdain at Ai Hui. When he saw Ai Hui examined the ground full of sprouts, his mind beca restless and his lips curled into a haughty smile.
Hehe, you must be shocked, right!
Suddenly, Ai Hui furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Everyone, stop!"
A look of excitent flashed across Duanmu Huanghun’s face. The chance is here. He nonchalantly asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
The rest looked at Ai Hui with a puzzled look. From their perspective, Duanmu Huanghun’s defensive arrangents were perfect.
Ai Hui looked at Duanmu Huanghun and asked, "Have you figured out how much wood elental energy would these arrangents need after three days?"
Everyone still remained baffled. However, Duanmu Huanghun’s facial expression had already changed drastically.
At this mont, all he wanted to do now was to find a hole and hide in it.
Damn it!
How could he overlook such an important issue!
After the growth of these seeds had been sped up, their elental energy usage would increase sharply. Furthermore, there was a limit to how much wood elental energy that this wood elental land could provide. It definitely could not support the growth of so many plants.
Duanmu Huanghun’s ntal arithtic ability surpassed everyone’s. In a blink of an eye, he had already computed the result. The critical point would not be reached on the third day, but rather, 3pm in the afternoon of the second day.
Once the supply of wood elental energy could not keep up with the growth of the plants, the plants would not developed healthily. After they were fully grown, their powers would decrease sharply.
"All of you have to wait until my wood elental energy pool is ready," Ai Hui told them.
After the wood elental energy pool was built, the supply of wood elental energy would then rise sharply.
After finishing his sentence, Ai Hui hastily left to take a look at the building progress of the slting furnace. He had modified the design of elental energy pool that Elders Guild had provided. There were a lot of components to be forged. Therefore, he needed the slting furnace to be built first. Furthermore, he had to consult Blind He on so of the components needed for the five elental energy pools.
Duanmu Huanghun’s face turned black, resembling the bottom of a wok.
An extrely strong aura of anger emitted from his body, causing the rest of the wood elentalists to steer clear of him.
At this point in ti, they definitely must not provoke Duanmu Huanghun.
