Douluo Continent: The True Body and Blood Soul, Starting from Blacksmithing

Chapter 102 Perception, First Gather the Five Dragons

After Tang Hao left, Lin Yu turned around and her gaze fell on the two large pieces of metal that Qian Daoliu had left aside.

Two pieces of metal were piled on a stone slab in the corner of the training room, and the shallow dents left when they hit the ground were still clearly visible.

The light shines from the side, cutting a clear line of light and shadow across the metal surface.

It was a pale yellow, with a soft hue, like sunlight that had been diluted and solidified. A faint, warm white glow shimmered on its surface, the light not glaring but rather carrying a gentle, warm texture.

The other piece was orange-red, much more intense in color. Even from more than ten feet away, Lin Yu could feel waves of heat radiating from that direction. The air above the metal was baked and slightly distorted, forming a visible layer of steaming air.

Stepping forward, Lin Yu bent down and placed her hands on the two pieces of metal.

The moment my left hand touched the pale yellow metal, a faint warmth spread through my palm. The warmth was not scorching, but it had a strong penetrating power, seeping into my skin and bones along the lines of my palm.

It possessed the same powerful and gentle soul power attribute as when Qian Daoliu used his soul power to support him earlier. It should be a metal with the attribute of light.

His right hand stopped three inches above the orange-red metal. Even before actually touching it, the scorching fire elemental aura had already turned his palm and fingertips slightly red.

The hairs on his fingertips were even curled from the heat, emitting a very faint burnt smell. Without even touching it, one could tell that it was a piece of fire-attribute metal.

The answer to the combination of light and fire is obvious: the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

Using metals with attributes similar to one's martial spirit to forge spirit-forged weapons naturally results in a much higher compatibility than using common materials, making it a safe choice.

Lin Yu's gaze swept back and forth between the two pieces of metal, and he had already roughly estimated the material usage plan in his mind.

Each of the two pieces of metal weighs about 100 pounds, which is quite a generous amount. If you control the failure rate and limit the number of failures to two or three, the remaining scraps will be enough to forge another weapon.

After all, they had just acquired a three-headed fire lion spirit. If they fused the three-headed fire lion's bone with fire-attribute metal, the resulting weapon might produce some unexpected changes.

Pulling her thoughts back, Lin Yu focused her attention on the metal itself. Both pieces of metal had the unique dense grain pattern of forged metal, with the grains forged to be extremely fine and tightly packed, layer upon layer, interlocked together, and no pores or impurities left by casting or smelting were visible to the naked eye.

The second soul skill was activated, and the sound of a heart beating echoed in the silent training room.

The two pieces of metal did not change due to Lin Yu's heartbeat, indicating that they were not top-grade thousand-fold forgings and did not meet the threshold of spirit forging.

Lin Yu wasn't surprised that the Spirit Hall could produce thousand-refined metal.

With the resources and foundation of the Spirit Hall, it's only a matter of time before they cultivate several blacksmiths who have mastered the art of thousand-fold forging.

Lin Yu wasn't surprised that the blacksmith failed to forge a top-grade Thousand Forged item, since a top-grade Thousand Forged item requires not only a pair of hands, but also strong mental strength and control.

Further spiritual forging requires a certain understanding of life, and Lin Yu's special martial soul is what enabled him to research spiritual forging in this era.

If Qian Daoliu could actually pull out two top-grade thousand-refined pieces, Lin Yu would feel like he'd seen a ghost.

He patted the surfaces of the two metal pieces again, and the collision of his palms with the metal produced two solid, muffled sounds.

It's just that it didn't reach the highest level of 1000-fold forging, it's not a big problem. I'll just preheat the forge when I have time and reforge it.

We can cut off a small portion first to test the compatibility of the two metals during the melting and forging process, and see if any problems arise during the melting and forging of these two metals.

After confirming that the metal was fine, Lin Yu looked up at the direction of the door.

It had been quiet outside for a long time. The night breeze squeezed in through the crack in the door, carrying a bit of coolness and the faint scent of grass and trees outside.

Quite some time has passed since Tang Hao left, and no new footsteps have been heard outside the forge. It seems there really won't be any more guests tonight.

He was finally able to calm down and carefully examine the changes in his body.

After closing the door, Lin Yu sat cross-legged in the center of the cultivation room, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into his body.

He first briefly examined his bones. Each of his bones still radiated the residual warmth after tempering, and the burning sensation deep within his bone marrow had subsided, replaced by a full and substantial feeling.

The improvement the human body receives after absorbing the essence of the soul bone is indeed significant.

Then came the Martial Soul, the Golden Blood Silver Soul. Lin Yu focused his attention on his heart, which was beating exceptionally strongly at this moment. Each pump was accompanied by a dull echo, and the impact of the blood gushing from the ventricle into his body was noticeably stronger than before.

He tried to activate his blood concentration ability. Previously, this ability required him to consciously circulate his soul power to activate, but now, with just a slight thought, his blood, like soldiers receiving orders, began to compress and concentrate spontaneously.

The volume of blood shrank by nearly 30% in just a few seconds, but the energy contained within it increased several times. As it flowed through the meridians, it carried a heavy inertia, causing the meridian walls to swell slightly.

The purity of the concentrated blood has indeed reached a new level.

He then tried to manipulate the surrounding fire elements. With a slight lift of his fingertip, a cluster of flames seemed to be pulled up by an invisible thread, hovering above his palm and gathering into a bead of fire the size of a bean.

The fireball danced and rolled in his palm, sometimes flat, sometimes round, its temperature raised and lowered at will, its control far more refined than before. The precision of his fire elemental mastery had also improved.

The changes in his martial soul were within his expectations. The strengthening of his heart was the real surprise.

Lin Yu extended his senses outward from his heart, while also carefully examining the location of his liver.

The fact that his heart was strengthened by the Three-Headed Flaming Lion confirmed Lin Yu's earlier conjecture: different attribute soul rings would strengthen one's five internal organs accordingly.

Two of the five elements are still missing: water and wood. However, dragon-type soul beasts with water and wood attributes are not easy to find.

Dragon-type soul beasts are already rare, and the vast majority are fire, metal, or earth-type.

Water dragons and wood dragons are extremely rare. Lin Yu searched through his memories of the distribution of soul beasts and could only think of three or five types of water-attribute dragons, and even fewer of wood-attribute ones.

This once put Lin Yu in a dilemma: should he give up the prerequisite of dragon attribute?

If he only looks for water and wood attributes, there are plenty of top-quality water-attribute sea spirit beasts, and high-level wood-attribute spirit beasts on land are not too difficult to find. With his current resources and network of connections, it is not difficult for him to collect all five elemental spirit rings.

However, the first three spirit rings are all related to dragons. If the remaining two spirit rings are also dragon-related, it feels like some hidden easter egg will be triggered.

Moreover, his silver robe and golden armor were modeled after the power structures of the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

With five dragons gathered together, and the five dragons corresponding to the five elements, just thinking about it makes me feel that once this system is fully established, the effect will definitely not be as simple as one plus one.

Thinking of the silver robe and golden armor, Lin Yu decisively activated the golden armor to possess his body.

The moment his soul power circulated, a familiar golden color spread outward from his chest, and the rustling sound of scales growing was particularly clear in the quiet training room.

But the moment the golden armor covered his entire body, Lin Yu sensed something was wrong; two new beams suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
