spent several days recuperating at the Spirit Pagoda. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but his new teacher, Leng Yaozhu, was too enthusiastic.
Many precious resources were sent to him, and she personally showed him around the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.
If his health weren't so poor, Leng Yaozhu would have had him take her to improve his skills at the Spirit Ascension Platform and the Tower of Trials.
Today, Lin Xiuran was fully recovered, and Leng Yaozhu finally let him go, though she was still very reluctant.
This puzzled Lin Xiuran, wondering what this Heavenly Phoenix Douluo was up to. But overall, it was very beneficial for him, so he didn't mind.
Shrek City was too large, and the Spirit Pagoda headquarters wasn't in the core area, so they needed to travel by soul-guided vehicle.
Leng Yaozhu wanted to have someone take Lin Xiuran there, but he refused, saying that would be too high-profile.
"Alright, go back to the academy and study hard. If you have any trouble, come find me at the Spirit Pagoda." After giving these instructions, Leng Yaozhu
let Lin Xiuran leave. Only after the soul-guided car had driven away and disappeared from sight did she turn her gaze away.
"Miss, why are you doing this?" The woman standing next to Leng Yaozhu was also a guard from her family.
Although Leng Yaozhu was already the head of the family, the female guard had always addressed her as "Miss" because she had grown up with Leng Yaozhu since childhood.
Leng Yaozhu narrowed her eyes slightly and said seriously, "His identity is very special. Shrek Academy seems to be intentionally concealing it, and I haven't been able to find out yet."
"What identity is worth investigating so much?" The female guard was somewhat puzzled. Even the Speaker of the Federation Council had never given Leng Yaozhu a kind look. Over the years, the only people she cared about were her younger sister and the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion.
The reason she encountered Lin Xiuran in the far north was because the Spirit Pagoda had inside information that her younger sister, Dark Phoenix Douluo, had appeared in the far north.
By a twist of fate, she brought Lin Xiuran back.
Leng Yaozhu paused for a long time before uttering two heavy words: "Leng Yu."
The female guard trembled suddenly, her surprise evident upon hearing the name. She asked incredulously, "Is it her...child?"
Leng Yaozhu fell silent, seemingly recalling some past events.
"Let's not talk about that now; it's just my guess." Leng Yaozhu turned her head. "Besides, even without other factors, his martial soul and bloodline are enough to make me care."
The female guard's eyes widened in surprise: "Is he even more talented than Miss Gu Yue?"
"Not exactly, but his martial soul and bloodline are very compatible with mine, even surpassing mine."
Surpassing Leng Yaozhu was somewhat unimaginable. She had achieved her current status because of her powerful level 99 strength and her status as a four-word Battle Armor Master; of course, this was inseparable from her powerful martial soul.
If Lin Xiuran's future talent is no less than Leng Yaozhu's, then he will undoubtedly become a super strong person and a pillar of the continent.
Therefore, everything Leng Yaozhu is doing now will be very meaningful. It's not just that the Spirit Pagoda has a top-tier expert; it also means that their own family will become even stronger.
Actually, Leng Yaozhu's actions aren't exactly risky, after all, Lin Xiuran is also a member of the Spirit Pagoda, although he wasn't valued before. But he hasn't joined any other organization and is Gu Yue's classmate.
Lin Xiuran has already returned to Shrek Academy and, without lingering outside, went straight into the inner courtyard.
He hadn't returned before the start of the semester, so naturally he had to report to Zhuoshi. After entering the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, Zhuoshi naturally knew that Lin Xiuran was Wu Changkong's original student, so he took good care of him. This time, returning so late, the old man was definitely worried.
However, as soon as he entered the inner courtyard, he was stopped and grabbed before he could even react.
"You brat, why are you back so late!"
Lin Xiuran looked at the person in front of him upon hearing the booming voice.
"Elder Feng, I was delayed by some matters."
Feng Wuyu saw that Lin Xiuran's health wasn't too bad, but he snorted coldly: "Come on, let me see if your forging has improved."
This was a person whose age was hard to guess, with long, messy, fiery red hair, and a scorching aura emanating from his entire body. But he was at least middle-aged or above. He wasn't tall, only about 1.7 meters, but his shoulders were incredibly broad, and his thick arms were much larger than his waist. Standing there, he looked like a fortress.
With a fiery red beard, he looked like a lion.
This was Feng Wuyu, the Blazing Dragon Douluo. Lin Xiuran participated in the All-Federation Grand Forging Competition. Although he didn't win the championship, being too young, he still caught Feng Wuyu's attention.
After all, Lin Xiuran's forging techniques were too unique, and the strange power he possessed in forging a hundred times amazed him.
Later, after Lin Xiuran entered the inner courtyard of Shrek Academy, Feng Wuyu began to pay attention to him, and would give him pointers whenever he had time.
Before long, Lin Xiuran was pulled into Feng Wuyu's forging room.
Lin Xiuran was a little helpless. He had just returned and was already being dragged to forge. If Zhuo Shi knew, the two old men would be fighting again.
"Grandpa Feng, can't I go to Elder Zhuo's place first? I'll forge for you when I get back, otherwise Elder Zhuo will nag me again." Lin Xiuran pleaded earnestly.
However, Feng Wuyu remained unmoved, urging, "Hurry up, hurry up, stop dawdling!"
Seeing there was no other way, Lin Xiuran casually took out a piece of rare metal, threw it there, and began wildly hammering away.
It was still wild hammering, still completely without any method, even though he had learned a modified version of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique with Tang Wutong's help over the years.
Of course, Lin Xiuran didn't know it was the Haotian Hammer Technique, and with its integration and Tang Wutong's tutelage, the so-called Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had become integrated with his own hammering style.
It was currently a completely chaotic hammering style, but while Lin Xiuran's previous hammering style was truly chaotic, this seemingly chaotic style actually fully utilized the essence of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, using the opponent's force against them, becoming increasingly powerful.
Its advantage lay in its different format; there were no fixed moves. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique's movements were fixed and could therefore be learned.
But Lin Xiuran's style was something others absolutely couldn't learn; every movement of his hammering style could be changed, and he could even use the opponent's force against them.
We could tentatively call it an upgraded version of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.
