Douluo: Dragon King Huo Yuhao Lives Ten Thousand Years Later

Chapter 45: The positions of the Silver Dragon King and the Gold Dragon King are reversed
The 12th-level god-killing soul-guided cannonball is the most powerful weapon, of which the Douluo Federation has only produced three. It is rumored to be able to kill gods.

The ancestor of a researcher at the Spirit Pagoda was once invited to participate in related research, so the Spirit Pagoda knows some of the core technical concepts involved.

Di Tian had mentioned this matter to Gu Yuena before. The principle was to extract the metal source, compress and purify it, arrange it in a certain order, and then unleash terrifying power.

However, the technology for refining metal sources was sealed because the production of god-killing soul-guided shells consumed a large amount of rare metals.

I didn't expect Huo Yuhao to have developed similar technology...

"As expected of Yuhao, if that crazy researcher at headquarters knew about this technology, he would probably treat him like a god... But without that rare metal, we can no longer produce god-killing soul guide shells."

Gu Yuena looked at Huo Yuhao with emotion and asked, "I remember that the metal you first used to engrave the magic array was simply purified, then forged a hundred times, forged a thousand times, and now forged spiritually. Are you trying to understand the properties of the metal after forging?"

"That's right." Huo Yuhao nodded.

For the past three years, he has been concentrating on understanding various forged metals in preparation for the future.

The technology of extracting metal sources was named by him as Siphon Inscription Soul Guide Array, which he derived with reference to soul skills and techniques such as element stripping, soul guide energy gathering array, and soul contract.

The core technology is related to the soul contract.

Why can the soul contract feedback bloodline and even cultivation?

During his research, Huo Yuhao discovered that its principle was similar to the siphon phenomenon. It could use the property similar to that of water flowing to lower places to transfer things owned by one party to another party, just like he received feedback because he did not have the bloodline of the Silver Dragon King.

This soul guide array also has the same effect, but it is more versatile.

This is his unique style!
Huo Yuhao knocked on the spiritually forged blue copper with his hand. The originally hard metal flattened in an instant. It was obvious that the source had been refined and it had lost all the properties of a rare metal.

"At present, with my current technology, only Spirit-forged Metal can complete the refining operation of the source spring. Thousand-forged Grade One Metal can only trigger the source spring. And you should understand what it means to have these source springs."

Gu Yuena nodded, "With this technology, the blacksmith can communicate with the source of metal, and there will be no bottleneck before spiritual forging."

She had previously read some books on forging and understood the benefits of direct contact with the source of metal. After all, the early stages of forging were the process of refining the source of metal, and in the eyes of blacksmiths, forging was also a process of communication between them and metal.

Is there anything faster than communicating with the source?
If the Blacksmith Association had Huo Yuhao's technology, those blacksmiths would be able to directly communicate and study these metal sources, and improve to the spiritual forging level at the fastest speed!
Now that I think about it, the Federation could have launched a new era of forging before, but the technology involved in refining the source of metal was too complicated, so it had to be sealed...

Thinking about it, Gu Yuena asked, "There's more you want to tell me than just this, right?"

He felt that Huo Yuhao had something else in mind.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "Hundred and Thousand Forgings are for removing impurities, so I won't go into that. Spirit Forging is about giving life to the metal. Soul Forging is about giving the metal life and intelligence. As for Celestial Forging, at this level, human power is no longer sufficient. It requires the power of heaven and earth, the vast elemental force, to help the forger forge the metal, and then it undergoes the corresponding elemental lightning tribulation to take shape."

"Think carefully about these processes. Can you complete them?"

Can I?
Gu Yuena frowned slightly, lost in thought, and finally gave an answer, "Of course!"

Yes, she can do both.

She gives life and intelligence. As the owner of the godhead of creation, many soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were born because of her. She understands what it means to create life better than those human blacksmiths!
Bringing life to a piece of metal wasn't that difficult; it would only take a while to complete. As for invoking the elemental power of Heavenly Forging... how could she not be able to do it?
She is the master of elements, so that's a piece of cake!
She might even be able to use the elemental thunder tribulation that Huo Yuhao mentioned for her own benefit.

Huh? Wait, come to think of it this way...

Gu Yuena looked up at Huo Yuhao and met his complicated gaze. They both fell into silence.

"..."

Huo Yuhao sighed secretly.

Yes, Gu Yuena is a bug. She only needs to learn forging... There is actually no bottleneck!
Strength and the like are just weaknesses for her, and she is weaker than the Golden Dragon King.

The most difficult parts of spirit forging, soul forging, and heaven forging were not difficult for her, as she was naturally gifted in these areas.

Huo Yuhao deeply suspected that the positions of the Silver Dragon King and the Golden Dragon King were actually reversed in every sense.

Gu Yuena looked at the metal in Huo Yuhao's hand and pursed her lips.

With the other party's technology for refining metal sources, it would be difficult for her to encounter bottlenecks before spiritual forging, and she would have no bottlenecks after spiritual forging... If she really learned forging, the two of them would be suitable for cooperation in every sense.

"It's important to understand your own abilities. If you're still interested in learning forging, I can help you," Huo Yuhao said. "Also, you can try forging without a hammer."

Gu Yuena thought of the embarrassing scene just now and blushed again, but fortunately she was still able to think. She asked doubtfully, "Not using the forging hammer?"

"An ordinary blacksmith can't achieve spiritual forging even after hammering the metal thousands of times. But that master craftsman Zhenhua can forge a thousand metals with one hammer, spiritual forging with one hammer, and soul forging with one hammer."

Huo Yuhao once again focused his gaze on the metal in his hand. "This is because Zhenhua has become familiar with the various properties of metals and has a clearer and more fundamental understanding of how to refine and change their metal source."

"The essence of forging is ultimately to refine the source of metal and change it. Forging is a means to an end. Using a forging hammer is not the goal, nor is it necessary!"

"As long as you can accomplish these things, it doesn't matter the means."

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, "You mean, I can use the power of elements for forging?"

What she is best at is the power of elements.

Huo Yuhao nodded. "With your control over the elements, it's not impossible to forge with elemental power. Moreover, the metal forged in this way is most suitable for you."

Gu Yuena fell into deep thought.

Forging with elements... is indeed feasible. With her control over the elements, she can turn them into big hammers to hit the metal. The force of the hammering may be stronger than when she uses a forging hammer. Moreover, doing so will make communication with the metal more frequent and easier.

After all, the power of elements is an extension of her perception. Just like a blacksmith's hammer, the power of elements can also become her hammer.

It is just borrowing the power of the surrounding elements... that is, the power of heaven and earth for forging. In a sense, isn't this replacing all forging methods with the method of heaven forging?

If she uses the power of heaven and earth to complete the Hundred Forging, Thousand Forging, Spirit Forging, Soul Forging, and Heaven Forging, what kind of metal will be forged?
