Gu Yue snorted, indignant about their situation .  

Tang Wulin pressed his lips into a meek smile . “They think it’s impossible for us, so we’ll just have to show them . Gu Yue, we’ll still use magic silver in your armor . But heavy silver isn’t suitable for you . That means no jade silver either . I think essence gold would be a better alternative . Magic silver and essence gold can be forged together into spirit gold, an alloy with great elemental amplification properties . ” 

“Okay . I’ll just listen to you,” Gu Yue said immediately . “What about you then? What are you going to use?” 

“For me… I’ll still try my hand with heavy silver as the base since I’m so familiar with it . It’s also very dense, perfect for a foundational metal . Then I’ll add star iron to form star silver . ” He rubbed his chin . “Yeah, that’s what I’ll do . Star silver is really strong, has good soul power amplification properties, and can give way to so many possibilities when I add more metals to it in the future . My bloodline might be special, but I can’t rely on just it . I have to think about how to grow my bluesilver grass as well, so star silver is the most suitable metal for me right now . The two alloys are about as hard to forge as jade silver . Well, actually, your spirit gold is a tad bit more difficult, but I think I’ll be able to pull it off . As for how high the harmony rate will be… that’ll be up to luck . ” 

“It’s settled then . Since you already have heavy silver and magic silver, I’ll go get some star iron and essence gold for you,” said Gu Yue .  

“You will?” Tang Wulin stared at her in astonishment . Star iron and essence gold were far more valuable than heavy silver or magic silver . The only reason he had decided on these alloys was because Yue Zhengyu was providing him with heavy silver and magic silver .  

Gu Yue had never talked about her family before and always lived a simple life, seldom indulging in any luxuries . He always thought her situation was similar to his own .  

“Where are you going to get all that money from?” Tang Wulin asked .  

“You don’t have to worry about it . Just focus on forging . I’ll handle the metal . We have lots of metal at the Spirit Pagoda, you know? And I’m the vice-chairman’s direct disciple . ” 

“Don’t force yourself! We can work on it together, and if worst comes to worst, I can just sell some of my alloys to get the funds necessary . They should fetch quite a sum if I do . ” 

“It’s fine, I can handle this,” said Gu Yue .  

Her determination moved him, bright like a flame . “Let’s tell Xiaoyan and Xie Xie about this when we get back . We’ll let them practice with their group first, then once they’re more skilled, we can help them make a one-word armor as well . ” 

“Okay . I’ll head back first,” said Gu Yue . “There’s a lot I have to change in the designs now that we’re going to use spirit alloys . The original circuit core isn’t suitable anymore . I’ll need to think about this . ” 

Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing’s concerns had made sense . If Tang Wulin couldn’t guarantee high harmony rate alloys, then it was too risky for them to make their one-word battle armor with alloys . This was also why Tang Wulin agreed to find another maker .  

Since those two weren’t making their battle armor now, he had to find someone else to fill the gap . As for who, he had no clue .  

Originally, he had originally been uncertain about this plan, but Wu Siduo and Luo Guixing’s attitude toward him and Gu Yue helped him steel his resolve . Everyone had their own pride and Tang Wulin was no exception .  

He convinced himself that he could prevail through his efforts . Although his martial soul was the trashy bluesilver grass and his Goldlight had been a defective spirit soul, through sheer perseverance, he grew stronger . Now he was the class president of Shrek Academy’s first grade . Even Goldlight evolved to become Goldsong . Compared to everything that he had been through, this challenge was nothing . A speck at the bottom of his shoe . No matter what obstacles came his way, he’d face them one step at a time .  

☀ 

A cool evening breeze greeted Gu Yue once she stepped outside . She frequently left campus for the Spirit Pagoda to handle her personal affairs .  

Not long after she passed through the gates, a glossy black SUV pulled up in front of her . A tall man got out of the driver’s seat and walked over to open the door for her .  

If Tang Wulin were present, he would have been shocked . It would have been the most luxurious soul car he had ever laid eyes on .  

Gu Yue entered the vehicle . The interior flaunted red leather seats and tanned wood covers accented by shiny metal linings and gems .  

She took her seat calmly . “Prepare ten tons of essence gold and star silver for me . ” 

“Yes, young miss,” answered the driver .  

“Let’s get going to the Spirit Pagoda then . ” 

“Understood . ” The black SUV pulled onto the road and sped off . Despite how fast the vehicle was going, Gu Yue didn’t experience a single bump or hear anything from outside . She relaxed into the soft leather seats, leaning against the window as she watched cars zoom by . As she stared out at the world, her eyes gradually lost focus .  

A while later, the SUV rolled to a stop in front of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters . Once again the driver got off to open the door for Gu Yue, a hand hovering protectively over her head as she got disembarked .  

As Gu Yue headed toward the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, the driver returned to the vehicle and drove off into the darkness .  

Gu Yue made straight for the elevator and up to Leng Yaozhu’s office .  

“Oh, you’re here?” Leng Yaozhu smiled in greeting . “Your mom just called me and asked how you were doing . She’s really worried about you, you know!” 

Gu Yue laughed . “What’s there to be worried about? With you around, who would dare harm me?” 

The corner of Leng Yaozhu’s mouth quirked up a bit, but it wasn’t quite a smile . “Yueyue, I found out about your little secret now . ” 

“What secret?” Gu Yue asked suspiciously .

Leng Yaozhu smirked . “Your eyes . ” 

“My eyes?” Her confusion was evident by her creased brows .  

“There’s something different about your eyes when you look at Tang Wulin . You weren’t looking at him like he was just anybody . So, you’ve got something going on with him?” 

“I don’t!” .

“I’ve looked into Tang Wulin’s background . He obtained a defective spirit soul from us in the past yet he was still able to make it into Shrek Academy . Unbelievable . ” 

Gu Yue’s expression darkened . “You investigated him?” 

Leng Yaozhu chuckled . “Of course I investigated the person our little princess is interested in . But you don’t have to worry . We won’t interfere with your life . If you really do like him, then that’s that . As a student at Shrek, he’s got the qualifications to be with you . Your family is really open-minded too, so they won’t act all melodramatic about it . Just don’t forget that you’re only thirteen years old . It’s too early for you to be thinking about this kind of stuff . If you’re serious about wanting to date him, then at least wait a few years until you two are both more mature . ” 

Gu Yue blushed, blurting out in a fluster, “No way! Stop talking such nonsense, Teacher! We’re just classmates and nothing more!” 

“Mhm . Sure . If that’s what you want to call it,” Leng Yaozhu said with an eyebrow raised . “That Tang Wulin’s quite a catch though . He might not be very powerful right now, but he shows great potential . I watched his battle with the Demon Lizard Dragon, and was shocked when he completely suppressed it with his aura and killed it in one hit . You guys wouldn’t have made it to the twelfth floor if not for him . If my guess is right, he has a draconic bloodline . I’m not sure which one it is, but it’s definitely inclined towards pure strength .  

“Although the Demon Lizard Dragon is a land dragon, its draconic blood is quite strong . The fact that he could suppress it shows how formidable his bloodline is . Though, it’s a pity about his martial soul . A strong bloodline won’t be enough to make up for that . Are you sure he doesn’t have twin martial souls?”  

Gu Yue frowned . “I’m not sure either . His body’s situation is special . HIs bloodline can produce a golden ring, but I’m absolutely certain it’s not an actual soul ring . The aura is completely different . He’s able to use that power even without a single drop of soul power in his body . ” 

“Hmm . Let’s just watch for now then . It’s really a pity that the Tang Sect has already snatched him away,” said Leng Yaozhu, sighing . “Otherwise, I’d definitely have recruited him . Those other kids are quite something as well . They may not be as talented as you, but they can still be considered geniuses . Well, that’s to be expected from Shrek . ”

“Let’s begin,” Gu Yue said .  

“Mn . ” Leng Yaozhu waved her hand and a metal door on the side of the room opened .
