บท 1671: Chapter 1624: Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, Rock Dragon (Please Subscribe)_1

Immediately following, Gu Yue began to explain, "Teacher, I've come because my clan is facing a problem, so I had no choice but to seek some help from you!"

Zhen Hua looked surprised, "Clan? Gu Yue, do you actually have a clan backing you?"

He had always thought the former was all alone and did not expect her to have a clan!

No wonder this child's talent is so exceptional, if there's a clan guiding her from behind, it would make sense!

Gu Yue nodded in response, "Yes, Teacher!"

After a brief pause, she continued, "My clan is in conflict with other clans, which has led to a serious war, and many of our strong members have fallen. Therefore, to ensure our people have the means to protect themselves, we need a large number of mechas and battle armors!"

Chin in hand, Zhen Hua pondered, "I see, it's surprising that in this era, such things still happen!"

"After all, every place should have a Blacksmith Association, so it shouldn't be impossible to buy even low-grade mechas and battle armors!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue pursed her lips, her cheeks showing an unsightly expression…

Realizing he might have touched on a sensitive issue, Zhen Hua frowned and pressed, "Gu Yue, what's wrong? Your complexion doesn't look good."

Gu Yue trembled slightly, sighing, "Teacher, this is precisely where my clan is struggling the most. Due to substantial damages, our funds have been exhausted, and no power is willing to provide us with weapons."

Then, looking hopefully at Zhen Hua, she pleaded, "Teacher, could you perhaps provide some mechas and battle armor? Of course, even the most basic ones would be sufficient!"

Her eyes were filled with sincere entreaty, and they instantly softened Zhen Hua's heart. He patted his chest without hesitation, "Leave it to me. After all, I am the Continent's number one Divine Craftsman, and I do have some stock!"

"Though I don't have many high-grade mechas and battle armors, I definitively have enough in terms of quantity!"

Seeing her plan succeed, Gu Yue controlled her facial muscles, worriedly saying, "Teacher, I'm truly grateful for your help, but won't taking away so many mechas have a significant impact on the Blacksmith Association?"

If she showed too much excitement, it could lead to slip-ups!

Zhen Hua waved his hand dismissively, "Those mechas are just scrap metal to me, useless anyway, consider it a clearance."

Only then did Gu Yue exclaim with excitement, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Zhen Hua stood up slowly, waving his hand grandly, "You are my only disciple, no need for such formality. Come on, I'll take you to see those low-grade mechas, take whatever you want!"

Becoming a Divine Craftsman meant he was not so easily fooled, sure enough to sense something odd in Gu Yue's words…

But after getting to know her better during their recent extensive interactions, he was clear about her character!

Since she wouldn't do anything atrocious with them, and since the mechas weren't particularly valuable, there was no need to delve deeper…

…

Elsewhere, Tang Wulin returned to the classroom, sitting dejectedly at his desk…

Xie Xie and others, seeing his demeanor, gathered around curiously...

Xu Xiaoyan asked puzzledly, "Wulin, why did you come back alone, where's Gu Yue?"

Xie Xie speculated with suspicion, "Given your crestfallen appearance, you didn't make her angry, did you? Tsk tsk, just when things were finally starting to improve between you two."

Ye Xinglan raised her eyebrows, "Wulin isn't like that, there must be some other hidden issue! Right?"

Xu Lizhi ventured cautiously, "Wulin, could it be that Teacher Xu only favoured you, neglecting Gu Yue, and that's why she's angry?"

Tang Wulin glared at them and said weakly, "You don't need to beat around the bush. This time, it was Teacher Xu who upset Gu Yue, it has nothing to do with me!"

Xie Xie showed a scornful expression, "Teacher Xu upsetting Gu Yue, who would believe that! Even if that's the case, why the long face?"

Xu Xiaoyan's Beautiful Eyes lit up, seriously commenting, "Exactly, Teacher Xu is perfect in both temperament and strength, totally different from Xie Xie, she would never anger Gu Yue!"

Xie Xie's face turned dark, and he felt offended. "Hey, hey, Xu Xiaoyan, are you sick or something? Why do you have to drag me into this?"

Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her petite tongue, "Lalala, isn't it just that way?"

Knowing he couldn't win the argument with her, Xie Xie turned his head and said, "Hmph... it's so hard not to fight with a woman!"

Ye Xinglan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Let's not quarrel anymore. You're like enemies. But I also don't think Teacher Xu would do something to anger Gu Yue! It's much more likely that Wulin would do something like that!"

Wu Siduo crossed her arms and watched coldly, not saying a word...

The corners of Tang Wulin's mouth twitched as he retorted, "I knew you wouldn't believe me even if I told you. If it weren't for Teacher Xu..."

At that moment, he realized everyone was staring at him with wide eyes, eagerly awaiting his next words...

Tang Wulin opened his mouth but chose to dismissively say, "Well, let's wait for Gu Yue to tell you herself..."

Good thing I nearly got tricked into spilling the beans by these guys again!

If he let slip those details, Gu Yue would likely really start to dislike him!

After his words fell, everyone snorted skeptically at him...

"Tch!!"

...

After the vast expanse of snow, Yue Zhengyu, who was hiding behind cover, glanced at Yuanen Yehui beside him and said, "Ye Hui, should we switch our target to a different hundred-thousand-year soul beast? This one seems rather difficult to deal with!"

Hearing his words, Yuanen Yehui glanced at him irritably and countered, "Is there such a thing as an easy-to-deal-with hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"

There was no easy-to-deal-with hundred-thousand-year soul beast! What they could do was to choose one that was relatively slower!

Yue Zhengyu choked a bit, "That's true... But this one, it really does seem to have a more oppressive presence than other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."

Before their eyes, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast was several hundred meters in size, its entire body coiled into a mass, continuously flicking its tongue like a serpent...

But its real name was Rock Dragon!

Unlike other dragon species, the Rock Dragon moved very slowly and had a very lazy nature, making it one of the easier hundred-thousand-year soul beasts to deal with...

Of course, this was only in terms of speed. To successfully kill it, one must break through the solid granite layer covering its skin!

Yuanen Yehui narrowed her eyes, "This dragon's body is covered in rock, so there's no way to see its weaknesses. We can only try to find them during battle!"

Just as she was about to step out from behind the cover, Yue Zhengyu grabbed her arm and said gravely, "Wait, before we make a move, let's test it with an offensive soul tool!"

After speaking, he took out a high-grade soul tool, poured a considerable amount of Soul Power into it, and pressed the button aimed at the Rock Dragon's head...

In an instant, a dazzling purple beam shot out from the soul-guided cannon ports...
