Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 8 ---

Bibi Dongxue and Yunlong walked together in the village street. ​​

"You seem so happy about those things." Bibi Dongxue asked while staring at her son, who had a smile on his face while happily carrying a cloth in his hand.

"There is something special about them, right?" She added, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

"Hehe... This rock is deep black iron ore while the books are sword arts." Yunlong answered while chuckling as he's successfully fooled that merchant and bought these items at a low price.

'Ehh? That rock is deep black iron ore, and those books are two sword arts?!' Bibi Dongxue thought in wonder.

"Are you sure that rock is the deep black iron ore?" She asked to confirm something.

Yunlong affirmatively nodded his head before saying, "Mm, I'm sure because I know the characteristics of the ore from the book in mother's room."

'Well, I know about it because of Neo... I can't tell her, "It's because of my system, right?!" It's my secret, after all.' Yunlong thought while wryly smiling in his heart.

"As for the sword arts, I will show it to you later in the house." He added before calmly shifted his gaze to his mother and asked, "But can we go to a carpenter and blacksmith first."

'I see, he already read many books from my room...' Bibi Dongxue thought before nodding her head to her son's request.

"Well, we still had a lot of time before lunch." Bibi Dongxue replied as both of them walked toward the village carpenter and blacksmith.

After they arrived at the carpenter's shop, a man with a healthy face and slender stature greeting them with a smile on his face.

"Can I help you?" He asked while staring at Yunlong before shifted his gaze to Bibi Dongxue.

'Eh? Is she a famous and rumoured cold goddess?!' The carpenter thought while staring at Bibi Dongxue with wide eyes.

After living in the soaring dragon village for almost four years, Bibi Dongxue's beauty had become well known among the village's residents.

Many suitors want to become Bibi Dongxue's husband, and they tried many ways to grasp her heart.

Of course, Bibi Dongxue rejected all of their proposals, but there are some idiots, who forcibly want to become her husband, so she beat the shit out of them.

Before they could even run away, a sharp chill would penetrate their body and makes them fainted, and that's why she got cold goddess title.

Well, Bibi Dongxue is the strongest person in this village beside the village's head, who's a spirit king.

"I want to order a one-edged wooden sword, and it should be light and durable," Yunlong suddenly said, which makes the carpenter comes out from his thought.

"Ah, yeah... A one-edge wooden sword, do you want me to make it now." The carpenter replied while shifting his gaze to Yunlong.

"Well, if you can make it fast," Yunlong responded, making the carpenter frowned a little because he feels challenged by him.

"Sure, let's me show you my abilities-!" The carpenter grinned only to be cut by Yunlong, who already in the door.

"Oh, okay, I'll be waiting at the blacksmith," Yunlong responded while walked away with his mother to the blacksmith, which is beside the carpenter shop.

*Twitch!*

The carpenter's mouth twitched for a few seconds before he sighed while took out a black wood from the side.

"Let's see... A one-edge wooden sword." He muttered while staring at the black wood in his left hand as a sculptor knife, which is his martial soul, appeared in his other hand.

"Let's start." He smiled while three spirit rings, white, yellow, and yellow floating behind him.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yunlong and Bibi Dongxue entered the blacksmith shop, and when they walk into the room, a sound of the metal clanks echoing in their ear.

*Clank!* *Clank!*

"Uh, I want to order something?!" Yunlong shouted while peeking into the room and saw a muscular man with a blacksmith hammer in his hand.

"Hmm? Do you need something, kid?" The blacksmith stopped his work while shifting his gaze to Yunlong.

'Even after I shouted, he can't hear me.' Yunlong thought with a frown before taking the rock and place it on the counter.

"This is..." The blacksmith tilted his head while staring at the rock.

"Deep black iron ore," Yunlong replied, making the blacksmith stared at him in disbelief.

'He doesn't believe me, huh.' Yunlong thought as he could tell that from the blacksmith's expression.

Yunlong is taking a hammer from the side as he knocked the rock with it.

*Bam!* *Cracks*

"Eh, He could lift that hammer?" The blacksmith muttered with a surprised expression as cracks start covering the rock before revealing a chunk of black ore inside of it.

"I-It's the real deep black iron ore!" He shouted while hurriedly grab the black ore and examine it.

"So, can you hear my order now?" Yunlong asked while staring at the blacksmith, who dumbly nodded his head.

"Forge me a sword, and it should be a katana with a sharp blade." He added as the blacksmith rubbing his chin for a little bit.

'Katana... Hmm, this ore should be more than enough.' The blacksmith thought while thinking about something.

"Alright! But, do you want me to forge something from the leftover ore because there is some ore left if you only want a katana?" He asked while staring at Yunlong.

"Well, a dagger would be nice," Yunlong replied as a dagger would be perfect as a secondary weapon.

"Okay, it would take a few days, do you want me... Cold Goddes!!" The blacksmith said before dazed while seeing Bibi Dongxue standing behind Yunlong.

"Ehem, It would take a few days, and I will personally deliver it to your house." He said with a smile on his face.

'Why he suddenly become so nice?' Yunlong thought while feeling a little weird.

"What about the price," Yunlong asked the blacksmith, who shake his head.

"I will do it for free." The blacksmith replied while smiling at Yunlong.

"Weird..." Yunlong commented.

Yunlong and Bibi Donxue then walked out from the blacksmith shop as the blacksmith waving his hand with a smile on his face.

As they about to walk home, the carpenter walked in front of them with a wooden sword covered in white cloth in his hand.

"Here is your order." He calmly said while giving the wooden sword to Yunlong, who took the wooden sword with a frown on his face.

"I make this wooden sword with whole my skill and ability." He added as Yunlong opened the white cloth, showing a black wooden sword with some red lines around the edges.

[Name: None]

[Type: Weapon/Wooden Sword]

[Grade: Mid-Uncommon]

[Description: A wooden sword made by an expert carpenter, this wooden sword is light and durable because of the material and the skill of its creator]

'Ohh, to think he would create this in only a few minutes.' Yunlong thought in surprise before grasping the handle of the wooden sword.

*Swoosh!*

He slashed the sword into the air as its releasing a muffling sound.

"Nice..." Yunlong muttered with a smile on his face.

"How did you finish it so quickly, and it's not even that long when we left?" He asked while shifting his gaze to the carpenter.

"Hehe... You see, I'm an expert and because I feel challenged. I could create this wooden sword at a fast pace." The carpenter responded while puffing his chest in confidence.

"I see... How much should I pay for this wooden sword." Yunlong nodded his head while staring at the wooden sword.

"No, It's fine, and you can take it for free." The carpenter said before chuckled.

"Is that so..." Yunlong muttered.

"Well, you could name that wooden sword for me." The carpenter suddenly said.

"Okay, a name, huh..." Yunlong responded while thinking about a suitable name for the sword.

"Fleeting Shadow."
