Chapter 75: Two-Character Character Character Doukai Tai Chi and Teammate Selection, My Butt Hurts

The students of Class 1, Grade 1, all ceased their current tasks, and over a hundred pairs of eyes converged on Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen, witnessing their class monitor create history by forging a Two-Character Character Character Doukai at the age of thirteen.

Forging Character Character Doukai is an extremely taxing process; the quality of Spirit Alloys is several times stronger than ordinary alloys. When engraving the Core Formation Arrays, one must deeply perceive the metal's characteristics, utilizing profound Soul Power and Spiritual Power to gradually carve the array patterns.

The Two-Character Character Character Doukai Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen designed for himself aligns with his True Self Martial Soul and Yin-Yang attributes, undoubtedly placing it at the very pinnacle of the Limit Douluo Continent. The difficulty coefficient is unimaginably high; as the carving progressed, tiny beads of sweat gradually gathered on his forehead.

Everyone held their breath in anxiety, yet Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen showed no panic whatsoever, his expression remaining as cold as ice. The Dark Golden Fearsome Claws acted like ten sharp, unstoppable carving knives; their speed did not decrease but increased, as layers of patterns steadily settled upon the Chaos Divine Metal, and the right arm guard began to take shape.

The right arm guard, encompassing the hand and forearm, made the Chaos Divine Metal, which displayed the prototype of the Character Character Doukai, resemble a black hole, swallowing the Soul Tool lights pouring down in the room. Its deep, abyss-like aura caused the two homeroom teachers by the podium to change color slightly.

Wu Wu Changkong and Shen Yi were both Two-Character Character Character Doukai Masters; they understood Two-Character Character Character Doukai better and could confirm that the Two-Character Character Character Doukai Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen was forging surpassed both of theirs.

The master and disciple exchanged a glance, seeing the astonishment and helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Every generation produces talented people, each leading the trends for a few hundred years," yet before Wu Wu Changkong and Shen Yi's generation had time to display their brilliance on the Limit Douluo Continent, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen behind them had already caught up.

Amidst the burning gazes of over a hundred people, two hours passed swiftly. Everyone in the room involuntarily held their breath, leaving only the sound of the Dark Golden Fearsome Claws carving the Chaos Divine Metal.

The engraving of the overall Core Formation Array was already half complete; the patterns transformed from crude to exquisite, the initial simplicity becoming complex. The textures interconnected and intertwined, complementing each other to produce resonance.

Chaos Divine Metal is an alloy forged from four rare metals, with the two main components being Yin Moon Shadow Metal and Sun Torch Metal. The Core Formation Array ignited the Yin-Yang attributes of the metal's origin; black and white energy streams seemed to come alive, wandering over the surface of the Chaos Divine Metal, making its vitality grow increasingly dense.

As the modifier of the Chaos Divine Metal, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen could clearly feel the metal's excitement; the previous resistance vanished. The Chaos Divine Metal was like an infant rapidly becoming an adult, stretching its limbs and slowly growing.

Only when truly engaging in the production of Character Character Doukai did Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen finally realize why a Character Character Doukai Master must participate in part of the Character Character Doukai's creation; if a Soul Master does not participate, they will never understand the true essence of Character Character Doukai.

As far as Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen knew, the Character Character Doukai of the Crown Prince of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Qian Zhangting, was forged by four masters of secondary professions working together. Qian Gu Qian Zhangting himself had almost no involvement in the work, so the fusion degree of his Character Character Doukai was not high, making it difficult to reach the limit strength capable of amplifying Soul Power by twenty levels.

Only by fully understanding Character Character Doukai can one fuse without obstruction, allowing the Character Character Doukai to become part of the body, the Martial Soul, and even the soul.

The Dark Golden light shone brightly; streams of Dark Golden flow lines accompanied the rhythmic movement of Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's ten fingers. The claw blades fell with bold strokes, and the progress of Character Character Doukai production continued to increase.

The Chaos Divine Metal finally took on the complete appearance of a right hand and forearm. Black, white, and gold three brilliant lights flashed across, with Yin and Yang Qi swirling around, mysterious and beautiful.

Time was about to reach four hours. After a morning of focused carving, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's Soul Power and Spiritual Power were both heavily depleted. His ink-black pupils shimmered, and five terrifying Soul Rings—four black and one gold—rose up abruptly.

The brilliant golden Soul Ring bestowed by the Golden Ancient Tree ignited. The Tai Chi Domain descended silently, expanding crazily toward the outside world. The Yin and Yang Qi were like a vortex, greedily swallowing the floating energy within the covered range.

The Domain was indeed the Soul Skill most coveted by Soul Masters. With the support of the Tai Chi Domain, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's waning Soul Power climbed step by step, rapidly recovering and even exceeding his normal peak state.

The Dark Golden claw blades moved like dragons and snakes; the Chaos Divine Metal trembled, spewing forth blinding sparks. The Yin and Yang Qi poured into the claw tips through the meridians. After the final Core Formation Array pattern was carved onto the metal surface, the entire piece of Two-Character Character Character Doukai right arm guard suddenly blazed with light.

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly extended his right hand, his five fingers forcibly gripping the Character Character Doukai. Blood wound its way down, and the instant it touched the Character Character Doukai, it was sucked dry. The blood threads wove deep into the Core Formation Array patterns, and the intense light illuminated the entire mecha classroom brilliantly.

The bloodstains crisscrossed, forming a complex pattern. Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen raised his blood-stained right hand, and the Two-Character Character Character Doukai climbed onto it. As the metal layers bit together, they emitted a loud, clear chime, like the spine cracking of a giant dragon waking up.

When the Character Character Doukai extended and fitted to the elbow tip, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's entire right arm exploded with a torrential light pillar merging the black, white, and gold of the Chaos Divine Metal with blood flames. A hoarse roar faintly echoed from the void!

Two-Character Character Character Doukai, right arm guard complete!

With a mere thought, Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's right arm guard instantly merged into his body. This was one of the characteristics of Two-Character Character Character Doukai: the Character Character Doukai fuses completely with the host, avoiding the fatal weakness of wearing conventional thousand-forged One-Character Character Character Doukai.

Seeing the Two-Character Character Character Doukai disappear, the students of Class 1, Grade 1, aside from their shock, had only one thought in their minds: He did it. He really did it. That was a Two-Character Character Character Doukai!

"Zhao Xuanzhen, have you named your Two-Character Character Character Doukai?" Gu Yue approached gracefully, her quiet, peerlessly beautiful face with curved eyebrows carrying a gentle smile.

"Tai Chi."

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen smiled; he was not particular about giving the Two-Character Character Character Doukai some wild, domineering, and cool name. The alias on the Young Genius List happened to be suitable, and it would also be convenient for adding Three-Character or Four-Character Battle Armors in the future.

According to the rules of this era, once the Tai Chi Character Character Doukai was fully crafted and Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen became a Two-Character Character Character Doukai Master, he could henceforth be called Tai Chi Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen, no longer just an alias on the Young Genius List with a name but no substance.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

Shen Yi clapped his hands, both to congratulate Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen and to attract the attention of all the students. He spoke: "Classmates, Class 1, Grade 3 has issued a seven-versus-seven team challenge to us. The Outer Court high command has approved this battle. The time is set for three days from now, this Friday morning."

"What? Grade 3 is challenging us!?"

Upon hearing this, Class 1, Grade 1 was instantly dumbfounded, mouths agape, doubting whether Shen Yi was joking.

At Shi Shi Laike Academy, higher grades were not necessarily stronger. The powerful figures of Grades 4, 5, and 6 had either graduated or entered the Inner Court; those who remained belonged to the old, weak, sick, and disabled...

The grade with the strongest overall strength in the Outer Court was Grade 3. They were shamelessly challenging the freshmen of Grade 1 who had only been enrolled for a month?

Most of Grade 1 felt this was somewhat absurd. Moreover, Grade 3 very likely had a One-Character Character Character Doukai Master stationed there. Who knew what madness had seized that group, suddenly wanting to abuse the weak and innocent juniors!

Astonishment and shock were the normal reactions, but Grade 1 was not short of smart people. For instance, Tang Tang Wulin and Luo Luo Guixing, after a brief moment of thought, immediately locked onto Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen. Only this guy could have provoked Grade 3's hatred!

Wu Wu Changkong ignored the complex emotions of the crowd and said coldly, "At that time, Saint Spirit Limit Douluo Luo Luo Yali, Outer Court Dean Red Dragon Limit Douluo Zhuo Shi, and Saint Artisan Blazing Dragon Limit Douluo Feng Feng Wuyu, three highly respected elders of the Sea God Pavilion, will arrive to watch the battle.

Today we will select the seven team members for the battle: six combat-type Soul Masters and one support-type Soul Master.

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen, Gu Yue, Ye Ye Xinglan, and Tang Tang Wulin, you four class committee members are the leaders of the class and possess exemption rights; you will directly enter the battle against Grade 3.

The remaining three spots are pending. Those interested, come with me to the Duel Arena; everything will be decided by strength."

As soon as these words were spoken, many students began to rub their fists and arms. The rule of Shi Shi Laike Academy was that the capable should hold the position. Zhao Xuan, Yue, Xing, and Lin were not only the face of the class but also firmly in the top five combat power rankings.

In this Limit Douluo Continent that worshipped strength, they respected the four class committee members, and could even add You Ming Wu Si Duo to the list. The combat power of the Five Heavenly Kings left the successors far behind.

Grade 1 marched in great numbers to the Duel Arena. Even students who knew they lacked the ability to represent the class in the battle came to watch.

The challenge rules set by Wu Wu Changkong were simple and brutal: support-type Soul Masters would compete on the effects of their Soul Skills, while combat Soul Masters would engage in one-on-one duels until a winner was decided.

In an instant, Class 1, Grade 1 became a chaotic melee. Soul Skills were colorful, and roars never ceased.

"Duel me, Xu Xu Yucheng!"

"Yang Nianxia, die for me!"

"Luo Luo Guixing, eat my Twin Dragon Storm!"

"Sister Ye Xinglan, I will definitely catch up to your footsteps! Big Meat Bun, Big Meat Bun, Big Meat Bun!"

Meanwhile, Grade 2 was conducting their Character Character Doukai course.

The Grade 1 Character Character Doukai course, to be precise, was called the Mecha Course, laying the foundation for Character Character Doukai. Upon advancing their studies to Grade 2, Shi Shi Laike students would formally begin crafting Character Character Doukai. At an average age of sixteen or seventeen, they should be considering their future of entering the Inner Court for further study or graduating peacefully from the Outer Court.

Yue Yue Zhengyu looked at the Divine Foundation Alloy You Yin and the exquisite One-Character Character Character Doukai design drawings placed on Yuan En Yehui's metal table. His eyes could not move away, and finally, he could not help but stick his face close with a greedy expression:

"Class Monitor Yuan En, who made that metal and Character Character Doukai design drawing of yours? Share it with us, will you?"

Glancing sideways at Yue Yue Zhengyu, Yuan En Yehui said indifferently, "I am an Evil Soul Master!

Why do you ask about my things? Are you not afraid of defiling the justice of the Holy Angel?"

"Class Monitor, I do not allow you to insult yourself like that!" Yue Yue Zhengyu was displeased.

"As everyone knows, an Evil Martial Soul does not equal an Evil Soul Master!"

"You are a law-abiding citizen recognized by both the Spirit Pagoda and Shi Shi Laike Academy, two supreme powers. I was rash and misunderstood you; I am deeply sorry!"

Yuanen Yehui was stunned, her beautiful eyes wide as copper bells. "You didn't look like this a month ago, you brat!"

"Can you give me a channel?"

Yue Yue Zhengyu rubbed his hands like a fly. He had come to Shi Shi Laike Academy to train, and the Angel Family required him to find classmates to cooperate in creating a Character Character Doukai.

He was a mecha manufacturer and needed to find three teammates corresponding to forging metal, mecha design, and mecha repair.

"A benefit from the Spirit Pagoda given by the boss."

Yuanen Yehui waved her hand, shooing Yue Yue Zhengyu away as if driving off an insect. This heir of the Angel Family was also a talent with flexible bottom lines.

"Brother Zhao!?"

Yue Yue Zhengyu's eyes lit up. After class, he couldn't wait to rush out of the classroom, turned several corners, and finally found the first-years fighting fiercely in the Battle Arena.

"Brother Zhao! Brother Zhao!"

Looking left and right, Yue Yue Zhengyu finally found Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen on the stands. The latter was leisurely watching the battle, holding a cup of iced drink in his hand, with Gu Yue and Ye Ye Xinglan accompanying him on both sides.

"What is it?"

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen raised his gaze. Yue Yue Zhengyu gave a "shy" smile: "I need a favor. I plan to create a Spirit Alloy One-Character Character Character Doukai, but I lack metal, a mecha designer, and a mecha repairman..."

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen realized; here was another comrade seeking to make a Character Character Doukai.

"Please, Brother Zhao. As long as you are willing to step in, name your conditions!"

Yue Yue Zhengyu puffed out his chest, ready to be gouged. As clever as he was, paying a price to complete the One-Character Character Character Doukai while simultaneously connecting with a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda—a future powerhouse destined to dominate an era—was actually a huge profit.

"As for the conditions..."

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen casually set down his drink, looked Yue Yue Zhengyu up and down, and said with a brilliant smile: "I've been wanting to practice aerial combat lately. How about you be my sparring partner?"

"No problem!"

Yue Yue Zhengyu answered with unyielding determination. He had long wanted to challenge Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen again!

Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen nodded to the two women beside him. The two linked arms and left, each fearing the other would renege and run away.

They rented a private room in the Battle Arena with maximum soundproofing. Yue Yue Zhengyu released his Holy Angel Martial Soul, beat his wings, and stood in the sky, gazing at Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen opposite him who was using his Body Secret Art to form wings. He eagerly said, "Come on, Brother Zhao, no holding back!"

The moment the words fell, five rings of soul energy erupted in unison, and a huge golden fist instantly enlarged!

"Holy crap, Golden Awakening?

Deng Deng Yixia! Deng Deng Yixia!!!"

Yue Yue Zhengyu tried to beg for mercy but was ignored. Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen said nothing, punching relentlessly!

Let you fill your mouth with secret rooms!

Let you ruin my image!

The next day.

On an ordinary study day, a figure suddenly broke this tranquility.

A handsome young man with golden hair walked into the classroom, his buttocks perked up high enough to balance a bottle of soda. All the students of Class One, Grade Two, gave him a stare, their gazes lingering for a long time on that unusually perky part.

The moment he sat down, intense pain suddenly struck. Yue Yue Zhengyu grimaced, and his deskmate asked sincerely:

"Yue Zhengyu, it must hurt a lot, right?"

Yue Yue Zhengyu touched his buttocks and sighed: "Although my butt hurts, just thinking of the handsome Character Character Doukai makes everything feel worth it..."

The surrounding students immediately held the Angel youth in high regard, secretly thinking the Holy Angel Family had fallen so low that they traded in such a manner for a One-Character Character Character Doukai!

Only Yuanen Yehui in the front row made a strange expression: "Did he do it?"

"Yeah." Yue Yue Zhengyu said frankly, "I sparred with Brother Zhao yesterday afternoon. He was a bit violent, and every move targeted my butt..."

Yuanen Yehui sniffed, looking troubled: "And then?"

"He said he felt refreshed and will look for me again in two days." Yue Yue Zhengyu paused for a second. "Actually, I felt pretty good too. Sparring with Brother Zhao was especially satisfying."

"Okay, respect."

Yuanen Yehui suddenly felt relieved. So Zhao Zhao Xuanzhen's fetish was the type of Yue Yue Zhengyu; that meant he wouldn't put her in a secret room!

"I'm sorry, Boss. I misunderstood you..."

Yuanen Yehui was a qualified employee and subordinate, knowing how to keep her boss's secrets, and vowed to keep the truth rotting in her belly for a lifetime!
