"First Elder, how is Du Shaofu?"
Elder Liao immediately asked the First Elder. At this moment, other than Elder Liao, Murong Xi, Sun Biyue, and the other elders were also in the room. Ouyang Shuang, Du Xiaoqing, and Du Xiaoyao were also present.
The First Elder looked at Du Shaofu in shock and said, "The Martial Vein Spiritual Seal. He has the Martial Vein Spiritual Seal protecting him. Even a peak Martial King Realm expert would find it difficult to withstand the power of three and a half stars of Thunder Calamity. However, Du Shaofu was able to withstand it. It should be related to the Martial Vein Spiritual Seal in his body. His Martial Vein Spiritual Seal seems to have a special effect on the power of thunder and lightning, being able to devour the power of thunder and lightning. However, I don't know what will happen to him.
"The Martial Vein Spiritual Seal!"
When Murong Xi, Elder Liao, Elder Sun Biyue, and the others heard this, their eyes trembled.
The Martial Vein Spiritual Seal was something that only existed in legends. Only the people of the legendary great clans would have the Martial Vein Spiritual Seal. How could Du Shaofu have such a terrifying thing on him?
"Let him rest. When he wakes up, we will ask him about the situation."
The First Elder said to the crowd, "This time, he has successfully refined a peak high-ranked Dao Artifact. It won't take long for him to shock everyone. The academy must be prepared to prevent others from coveting it."
"Yes!"
Murong Xi, Elder Liao, and the others nodded and followed the First Elder out of the room.
In the end, only Du Xiaoqing, Du Xiaoyao, and Ouyang Shuang were left in the room.
"Chi …"
A small pagoda floated out from Du Shaofu's chest. Then, Zhen Qingchun's illusory figure appeared before the eyes of the three people. He carefully examined Du Shaofu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed and his breathing weak.
"Brother Qingchun, how is he?" Ouyang Shuang asked Zhen Qingchun. The three people present were not surprised by Zhen Qingchun.
Zhen Qingchun looked at him carefully and replied to everyone, "He should be fine. His physical body is strong, and most of the power of the Thunder Tribulation seems to have been absorbed by something. He is just extremely weak. Coupled with the impact of the Thunder Tribulation, he fell into a coma. However, he seems to be adjusting his breathing and recovering on his own. He should be fine."
"Phew …"
Ouyang Shuang and Du Xiaoqing were relieved to hear that.
As time passed, the students of Tianwu Academy were still in a state of shock.
In the outside world, news of the Lightning Calamity descending upon Tianwu Academy and someone successfully forging a treasure spread like wildfire. In just a few days, the news had already shocked the surrounding empires.
"It's actually Du Shaofu's Three Stars and a Half Stars Thunder Tribulation. It's possible that what he refined was a peak high-grade Dao Artifact. This is truly incredible!"
"It's that Du Shaofu again. Where did this kid come from? How astonishing!"
"…"
The various powers in the surrounding empires received the news, and in an instant, Du Shaofu's name shocked the surrounding empires once more, attracting the attention of many powers.
In a vast and majestic palace, an emperor's aura could be vaguely felt from it.
In a hall, a brawny man dressed in a dragon robe could be seen. Even though there were no ripples of aura coming from his body, no one dared to look at him directly. His disposition was imposing, and he muttered, "To think that it would be Du Shaofu again …"
… …
In the majestic hall, dragons and phoenixes were engraved on it. There were several elders and brawny men seated in the hall.
"It's at least a peak high-grade Dao Artifact. To think that Du Shaofu would have such attainments in smithing. Just his mastery as a Talisman Master is sufficient to shock the world!"
"He's an outstanding talent, and his Talisman Dao is astonishing. I didn't expect that an extraordinary person would appear in the clan of Shi Cheng. He's even stronger than his father, Du Tingxuan!"
"This kid is no ordinary person. He will definitely soar into the sky. This time, he even refined a peak high-grade Dao Artifact. If my Du Family doesn't do anything, I'm afraid that other forces will beat us to it. At that time, it will be a huge blow to my Du Family!"
"No matter what, we absolutely cannot allow that brat to enter our Du clan. Back then, Du Tingxuan stirred up a monstrous calamity, causing our Du clan to nearly be annihilated. Don't tell me that all of you don't remember what happened?"
"That's right. A few elders of my Du Family are still recuperating from their injuries. Du Shaofu has a grudge with those powerful forces. If he gets involved with our Du Family, I'm afraid that we'll suffer another calamity."
In the hall, many experts were in a heated discussion. A brawny man with distinct facial features was quietly listening by the side. Suddenly, he looked at the crowd in the hall and said, "Everyone, even if we allow Du Shaofu to return to the Du Family, will he be willing to do so? Ever since he came to Tianwu Academy, he hasn't contacted Yun Xin or Du Chi. I'm afraid that he has no intention of returning to the Du Family. Perhaps that kid already knows about what happened back then and is still holding a grudge against our Du Family!"
As the brawny man's words fell, the clamor in the hall instantly died down. Many gazes flickered.
"Our Du Family had no choice back then. That kid shouldn't blame our Du Family, right?" An elder sighed with a helpless look in his eyes.
"What right does that kid have to blame our Du Family? We're the main family while he's just a kid from a branch family. Do you think that he can rebel?" A brawny man said coldly with disdain in his eyes.
The burly man with well-defined facial features looked at the crowd. His gaze trembled slightly and was filled with worry. He continued, "I'm afraid that at this time, someone will make a big fuss about what happened back then and make that kid hate our Du Family. He will become a dangerous bomb that will explode at any time."
"Hmph! That brat is a member of the Du Family's branch family. If he really dares to use his decent talent to commit treason and harm the main family, then just kill him directly. "A majestic old man snorted. His eyes were shining with a cold light.
The moon rose into the sky above the bamboo forest, causing the bamboo forest to seem to be shrouded in smoke. It was as though a dream had descended.
Sitting on a bamboo rattan chair, under the moonlight, was an old man with a skinny and dark face. His bright eyes flashed, revealing a look of shock. He muttered softly, "This kid is really more shocking than the last time!"
"Grandfather, do we need to do anything now?"
A lady dressed in a light blue dress with a thin veil draped over her body stood beside the elder. Her waist was slender and her skin was supple. She exuded a seductive aura that seemed to have no bones.
"There's no need to do anything. The Du Family and the royal palace must be very lively right now. Let's just watch the show. There's no need for us to interfere."
The elder smiled as he continued lying on the bamboo chair. Looking at the lady, he smiled and said, "Lass, why don't you make a trip to Tianwu Academy and bring that kid back to our Xie Family? Becoming the son-in-law of the Xie Family isn't a bad idea. Even though he's a little young, it won't be a problem if you're older. You'll be able to help him in the future."
"Grandfather, you're doing it again. If you continue like this, I really won't come to see you anymore."
The lady stared at the elder with her beautiful eyes. Her bashful expression gave her a unique charm.
"Alright, I won't talk about it anymore, alright?"
The old man smiled. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the bamboo forest and shone on his dark face, casting mottled shadows. After pausing for a moment, the wrinkles on his face fluctuated as he softly said, "I'm just saying. I really think that kid is not bad. However, with that kid's current reputation, I'm afraid that there will be many little girls around him. If that kid is young and naive and falls for that little girl's trick, that would be a pity."
"Grandfather, are you complaining that I'm not married yet?"
The lady's beautiful eyes were filled with cleverness. The night breeze in the bamboo forest caressed her, causing a few strands of her hair to fall to her waist. It felt as though they were being carried away by the wind.
"That's not what I meant. It's just that there isn't a single young man in the empire who is worthy of my granddaughter."
The elder stood up. Wearing a plain robe, he looked as though a bamboo pole was carrying a cloth bag. His skinny chest was pressed against his robe, and he stretched his back lazily, causing others to worry that his waist would break if he wasn't careful. He said softly, "The Du Clan intends to form a marriage alliance with our Xie Clan, and the old man of the Du Clan has mentioned it to me several times. The young fellow whom the Du Clan has been concealing is indeed extraordinary. However, I don't wish to let my granddaughter suffer in such a marriage alliance. Thus, no matter how I look at it, I still feel that that kid isn't bad, other than the fact that he's a little too young."
The lady supported the elder with a smile. She didn't say anything else, but her eyes were filled with an alluring radiance.
… … …
Ten days later, early in the morning, Tianwu Academy was bathed in the glow of the morning sun, painting the mountains in a faint golden hue.
In a solitary courtyard in the Blacksmith Institute, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged with a broadsword slung behind his back. The faint golden halo enveloping his body was slowly receding, and his ashen complexion had unknowingly regained its redness.
The energy of the golden halo was like a golden spirit snake as it mysteriously drilled into Du Shaofu's body. After the last wisp of golden energy drilled into Du Shaofu's body, Du Shaofu's eyelashes trembled slightly as his tightly shut eyes opened.
Chi chi …
Two streaks of golden light shot out from his eyes, and a domineering aura gushed out from his skinny yet sturdy body, causing the entire room to tremble.
"It's good that you're fine. You really went overboard this time."
A wretched face appeared before Du Shaofu's eyes. He looked to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, and his body was illusory. He had triangular eyes, a fierce-looking face, and inverted eyebrows. It was hard for anyone to identify with him.
"Hu!"
Du Shaofu spat out a mouthful of turbid air from his mouth. On his resolute face, the radiance in his eyes retracted and turned back into a clear and bright one. Looking at the wretched face in front of him, he smiled and said, "Brother Qing Chun, how long have I been unconscious and doing breathing exercises for?"
"Around ten days," Zhen Qingchun replied. That face was hard to identify with. If it wasn't Zhen Qingchun, there was no one else.
