Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 225 Thousand Refinements
Facing another tricky-angled chopped attack from Ji Juechen, Huo Yuhao tried to block it but accidentally lost his strength, and was eventually broken, with his right hand directly lifted up.

Seeing that Ji Juechen's sword was about to fall on him, Huo Yuhao made up his mind, loosened his hand that was holding the hilt of the sword, and changed his grip to stab Ji Juechen's shoulder with the back of the sword.

puff--

The next moment, two streaks of blood splashed, Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen both stopped their actions, and the whole place fell silent.

At this moment, the left side of Huo Yuhao's waist was cut into the flesh by Ji Juechen's slash, and Huo Yuhao's Tang Hengdao also pierced into Ji Juechen's left shoulder.

"It's hard to imagine that this is your first time using a knife."

Ji Juechen spoke first, pulling out the meteorite sword from outer space, leaving a trail of blood.

Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, and he patted his waist with his left hand. The high-level hemostatic powder he got in the Shrek inner courtyard was applied to the wound. At the same time, his right hand pulled out the Tang Hengdao that was stabbed in Ji Juechen's left shoulder.

An ordinary knife does not have a tip and cannot perform the stabbing function in swordsmanship.

But Tang Hengdao is an exception. In the Tang Dynasty of Huo Yuhao's previous life, armor technology had risen to another level. In order to pursue armor-piercing efficiency, Tang Hengdao has blades on both sides at the tip, so that it can be used to forcibly penetrate armor by stabbing when necessary.

This is also the reason why Huo Yuhao chose to forge the Tang Hengdao. It is a military tool, easy to use, and has more functions than other swords.

The wound gradually scabbed over, and Huo Yuhao finally had the energy to talk to Ji Juechen:
"Your meteorite sword is not bad, but its upper limit is too low. When you reach Soul Saint or Soul Douluo, fierce battles will be enough to destroy it."

After hearing what Huo Yuhao said, Ji Juechen calmly held the meteorite sword in his hand, lowered his head and said nothing.

"But I may have a way to make it keep up with you."

Ji Juechen suddenly raised his head and stared at Huo Yuhao.

"Haha, there's no rush. We can talk about this later when we have time."

Seeing that several students from the Practical Control Department were about to gather around him, Huo Yuhao simply slipped away, leaving Ji Juechen silently gazing at his sword.

"From the time I started attending classes to the time I entered Mingde Hall, to the attack on the Body Sect, and the two days I was locked in the dormitory because of the attack, it seems like only about twenty days have passed..."

For a moment, Huo Yuhao didn’t know what to do.

As for continuing to learn soul guides... ordinary soul guides have limited effect on one's own combat power. The only soul guide that is effective for one is...

Mecha, and battle armor.

In order to create these things, and also to use them to abduct Ji Juechen, perhaps I can use this time to transfer my energy into improving my forging skills.

Back in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao took out the handwriting of the forging course he had summarized (forging ability is required to create the outer shell of a soul guide), and silently pondered how to complete the forging technique that would only appear in the Douluo Dalu.

In fact, the so-called hundred or even thousand forgings already have a certain foundation and are widely used in the manufacture of soul guide shells.

After all, the principle is just to remove impurities in metal by forging, and the prerequisite of Thousand Forging - removing all impurities in the metal and increasing its density - can be done by high-level soul masters, but the key step of Thousand Forging is the reason why Thousand Forging has not yet been fully formed.

The so-called Thousand Forging is not as simple as forging with a hammer a thousand times. The biggest special effect of Thousand Forging is sublimation. Only when the metal is forged and the sublimation effect is produced, can it be called the real Thousand Forging.

Moreover, Qianduan does not have any skills to teach, only one direction - to treat metal as a living thing and to try every possible way to communicate with it during the forging process.

Only with perfect communication can the metal truly recognize you, find its secrets, and find its texture. Qianduan is also called Mind Forging.

I recalled the description of Qianduan in Douluo Dalu.

So……

Huo Yuhao waved the forging hammer in his hand, picked up a small piece of silver, ran the mental detection at full power, and began to dance wildly.

Full-power mental detection sacrifices detection range and shared effects in order to increase detection penetration, allowing it to deeply detect the internal texture of metal.

Although it has not reached the molecular level yet, it is enough for Huo Yuhao to observe the changes that each hammer brings to the rare metal.

"What is this kid doing again?"

Huo Yuhao mobilized a large amount of mental power, and even Tian Meng, who was really sleeping, was awakened by the turbulent sea of ​​​​mind.

Tian Meng probed his consciousness to check Huo Yuhao's condition and then he noticed that Huo Yuhao was hammering at a piece of metal like a madman. With each hammering, the metal kept changing shape under the tremendous force.

"Uh……"

Tian Meng had watched Huo Yuhao forging soul guides many times, and knew that Huo Yuhao had once again fallen into a state of giving up thinking.

To put it bluntly, the cost of trying is low. Huo Yuhao kept trying and making mistakes without any clue until he came up with an effective solution. Then he used his extraordinary memory to analyze the entire successful process and replicate it.

It was just that what should have been an attempt at a stupid method turned out to be a reckless method that Huo Yuhao often used when he encountered difficult problems due to his abnormal ability to act and summarize afterwards.

It is called a reckless method, but it is actually the most normal way. It’s just that Huo Yuhao’s ability is too abnormal when combined with this method. There is no need to control variables. As long as it succeeds, it can be perfectly replicated next time. This is the ability that researchers dream of.

"Ah, aren't you afraid of attracting other people's attention by doing this..."

Tian Meng sighed, and covered the room with his mental power, suppressing all the sounds and vibrations produced by the forging.

-

“Master, this is Huo Yuhao’s whereabouts during this period.”

Lin Jiayi carefully walked into Jing Hongchen's office and handed the note handed over by the spy to Jing Hongchen.

As one of the suspects in the theft of Experimental Subject No. 1, Huo Yuhao could not be exposed by a single body search. It was normal for him to be monitored by someone.

Huo Yuhao naturally didn't do much and had no chance to go to Mingde Hall. On weekdays, he stayed in the dormitory to tinker with soul guides. He was bored and had nothing to do, so he thought of the supporting characters in the original novel and made a special trip to Mingde Hall.

The focus of the spy's report was naturally about the chance encounter and exchange between Huo Yuhao and Ji Juechen.

“So, Huo Yuhao, relying only on a long sword that was probably a level 4 soul guide, fought on equal terms with the Soul Emperor Ji Juechen of the Control System?”

Although Jing Hongchen didn't know who Ji Juechen was, how could a spy overlook this? Naturally, Ji Juechen's information in the academy was also attached.

According to the spies, Ji Juechen's combat power in the academy has been at the top of the list in the past two years. Even so, he didn't gain any advantage over Huo Yuhao in his best area. Lin Jiayi defended the academy by saying, "Master, when they fought, it was more of an exchange of skills. According to the physical test information, Ji Juechen's physical fitness is only over level 60, which is inferior to Huo Yuhao. That's why they tied. If Ji Juechen used his soul power and sword intent, Huo Yuhao would definitely not be able to deal with him."

What this means is that Huo Yuhao's physical fitness suppresses Ji Juechen, so his count is meaningless.

“Then Huo Yuhao’s swordsmanship can also be combined with that strange invisibility and incarnation ability.”

Jing Hongchen said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that we need to strengthen the actual combat capabilities of the students in the academy. Ji Juechen, a Soul Emperor of the Control System, is not only inferior to Huo Yuhao, who is much weaker in cultivation, in terms of physical strength, but he also loses in combat skills. You know, Huo Yuhao is a support system!"

Although Huo Yuhao signed up for the Control Department in Shrek, the Soul Master Competition did not require Huo Yuhao to be in any department. In addition, Huo Yuhao frequently appeared as a supporting position in the team battles of the Soul Master Competition, which led Jing Hongchen to misunderstand.

Lin Jiayi bowed and said, "Yes, Master, I will arrange it right away. I will definitely invite practical talents from the military to instruct the students."

"and many more!"

Jing Hongchen suddenly said, "Since Huo Yuhao's actual combat ability is so strong, let him serve as a warning to the students. This will help the students share their attention and stop them from always focusing on Mingde Hall."

Lin Jiayi bowed and said, "Yes, Hall Master."

-

In the dormitory, Huo Yuhao kept swinging the forging hammer, hitting the piece of heavy silver on the table.

With continuous knocking, the silver became more and more solid, and its volume gradually shrank by 5%, 10%, and finally 15%. At this point, its density seemed to have reached its limit and would no longer shrink inward.

The subsequent knocking is to constantly change the internal texture of the silver that has been compressed to the extreme, in order to achieve the best state.

Although Huo Yuhao knew the various properties of metals by heart, their specific patterns were not included in the teaching content, so Huo Yuhao could only figure it out on his own.

But it doesn’t matter. Huo Yuhao has plenty of time and energy. If he fails once, he will try a hundred times. If he fails a hundred times, he will try ten thousand times. He will always be able to get the patterns into the most suitable state.

Huo Yuhao didn’t know how many times he had struck. Gradually, the roar caused by the striking disappeared. Even Tian Meng looked outside curiously.

In front of Tian Meng’s eyes, the piece of metal seemed to be emitting a faint light. Every time Huo Yuhao hammered it, the metal seemed to flash in unison with his breathing.

Dangdangdang——

After several hours of high-intensity hammering, even the forging hammer and forging table made mainly of titanium could no longer bear the weight and had some deformation (don't ask, if you do, I'll just tell you they were procured from Mingdetang).

Not to mention the dormitory floor, which had already developed a crack due to the strong impact, and it might collapse at any time due to Huo Yuhao's crazy forging.

Suddenly, the piece of heavy silver vibrated slightly while Huo Yuhao was forging it. Then, a bright silver light suddenly broke through the blockade of the furnace fire, illuminating the entire forging room in silver-white.

"Bam—"

The huge recoil force knocked the forging hammer in Huo Yuhao's hand away. Huo Yuhao's hand trembled slightly, and a trace of blood dripped down Huo Yuhao's fingers. However, Huo Yuhao did not seem to feel it at all, and just stared at the metal in front of him.

As if remembering something, Huo Yuhao swung his right hand violently, and blood flowing from the knuckles dripped onto the metal in front of him.

The blood fell into the silver light, making a series of "chichi" sounds, and green smoke filled the air. The flames died down, revealing the metal itself.

It was unreasonably smaller than the previous time when the compression was completely completed. The fiery red color on the silver faded at an alarming speed, and the flashing silver light also faded at the same time.

Before forging, the dazzling silver color disappeared, and it looked gray and inconspicuous. However, on the main body, there was an additional layer of fine and dense lines, like the waves of the sea. These lines seemed to be engraved on it, but they were extremely smooth and exuded an extremely wonderful texture.

"Success..."

Huo Yuhao murmured softly, took out the kettle from the storage soul guide and drank from it. The wound on the palm of his hand had already recovered under the huge vitality of the gold of life.

"Yuhao, what are you doing?"

Seeing that Huo Yuhao had finally come to his senses, Tian Meng finally had the opportunity to ask questions about his doubts.

"This is called Qianduan, a forging technique,"

Huo Yuhao raised his head and took a sip of water before continuing, “After being forged a thousand times, the metal will be endowed with some properties that are like soul skills. Using it to make weapons will have unexpected effects. In addition, it can also be used to make a kind of armor that can allow a soul king to have the combat power of a soul saint.”

After saying that, he started drinking water with gulps.

Whether it is appropriate to drink a lot of water after strenuous exercise depends on the individual. With Huo Yuhao's physical fitness, a kettle of water cannot be considered a lot at all.

"what?"

Tian Meng's incredible voice sounded.

As long as he has that armor made of Thousand Forged Metal, a Soul King can defeat a Soul Saint? What a joke!
You have to know that a Soul Saint has a martial soul avatar. After activating the martial soul avatar, he can fight back and forth with soul beasts over 50,000 years old. And a Soul King is considered a leader if he can beat soul beasts over 10,000 years old. The gap between them is like a chasm.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door. Huo Yuhao quickly put away the Thousand Forged Silver, the forging table, and the forging hammer. He threw a fire attribute core magic circle on the table and then went to open the door.

"Teacher Lin,"

Seeing the person coming, Huo Yuhao was also a little surprised. Why did Lin Jiayi come to me at this time?
"Student Huo, is it convenient for us to chat?"

As Lin Jiayi spoke, he glanced into the dormitory.

"Of course it's convenient, but the dormitory is a bit messy..."

Lin Jiayi said: "It's okay, it's okay. In this case, let's talk in your dormitory."

As he spoke, before waiting for Huo Yuhao's consent, he walked towards the dormitory. After taking a quick look and finding nothing unusual, Lin Jiayi continued:
"This time, I came here on the orders of the hall master."

"Your Shrek Academy is the number one academy on the continent, or more precisely, the number one soul master academy on the continent. And our Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy can also be said to be the number one soul master academy on the continent."

"In terms of soul master battles, you are able to represent Shrek Academy in the battles, which has proven your strength. Therefore, I want to have a competition between soul masters and soul instructors in the academy with you as the leader. This will also allow our soul instructor students to see how soul masters fight. Don't worry, I will select students of similar age to you. Their strength will not exceed that of a level 5 soul instructor. What do you think?"
