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

Chapter 132 complete, Twin Spirit Forging

Qian Renxue's departure was somewhat unexpected.

Lin Yu had originally planned to sneak into her room at night to "ambush" her after he had recovered, since three days of indulgence had given him a taste for it.

Unexpectedly, she left before Lin Yu could even recover, without even saying goodbye.

The "Xue Qinghe" who came to our door today has been replaced by an ordinary Great Soul Master. Although his appearance was disguised to resemble someone else, his temperament and soul power fluctuations were completely different.

Qian Renxue left in such a hurry that Lin Yu was caught off guard.

The new undercover agent also brought news: the Star Luo Empire had sent Davis and Zhu Zhuyun, who knew the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, over.

The Star Luo Empire misunderstood Lin Yu's intentions, so this time they didn't make any excessive demands. Instead, they presented him with a great gift: Zhu Zhuqing.

They have found Dai Mubai a new fiancée with the Netherworld Cat Martial Soul. Zhu Zhuqing is now completely innocent, having neither the status of a prince's fiancée nor the protection of her family.

The Star Luo Empire stated that Zhu Zhuqing would not force Lin Yu to accept, but they also made it very clear: Zhu Zhuqing has now lost her backing, and no one knows what she will experience if she returns to the Star Luo Empire.

A girl with no background, in a place like the Star Luo Royal Family where people devour each other, her fate is predictable.

Lin Yu listened and remained silent for a while.

Before his encounter with Qian Renxue, he might have been rather resistant to women, given the deep impressions Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong had left on him.

But now, Lin Yu finds that his inability to "enjoy himself" seems to be entirely due to the impression left on him by Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong.

Now that Qian Renxue has left without a word, he happens to have Zhu Zhuqing on hand. He can also see whether it's because Qian Renxue is special, or because the experience of a young girl and a young woman is different!

However, there's no rush to experiment with one's own sexual orientation; for now, it's better to focus on studying the Martial Soul Fusion Technique of Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Through close observation and study of Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's martial soul fusion technique, Lin Yu finally understood.

Previously, when he was researching Twin Spirit Forging, he always thought about making the two metals like the yin and yang of Tai Chi, achieving "you in me, and me in you".

In his previous experiments, he had tried to make two metals with different properties intertwine and permeate each other during the spirit forging process, but all of them ended in failure.

After witnessing the fusion skill of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat, Lin Yu suddenly understood.

-

The fusion skill of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat is not based on the principle of "you are in me and I am in you".

Instead, they "grow wildly on their own, and will meet again if fate allows."

He witnessed firsthand that Davis and Zhu Zhuyun did not deliberately cooperate with each other, but instead pushed their soul power to the limit. The two completely different forces collided, repelled, and rotated in the air. Then, at a certain critical point, like two stars that were not originally on the same orbit, they were drawn together by gravity because their respective powers were strong enough.

This "destined connection" is quite interesting. It's not about forcing or coercing. The one that moves first simply waits there, releasing its own aura and energy; those that resonate with it will naturally become entangled with it once they reach a certain frequency of resonance.

Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat when he realized this: Could it be that the Twin Spirit Forging he had been researching might not be successful if it depended on luck?

Although this conclusion is a bit far-fetched, it is the only reasonable explanation derived from the fusion skill of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Cat.

However, this did not prevent Lin Yu from starting a new forging attempt. At least he had a new direction.

With Qian Renxue gone, and without her disguised role as the eldest prince helping her tend the fire, Lin Yu felt a little out of sorts.

Helpless, Lin Yu had no choice but to ask Liu Erlong to come and help.

Liu Erlong was already feeling uneasy about "eating for free at Lin Yu's place" and was looking for something to do, so he naturally did not refuse Lin Yu's request.

This time, Lin Yu did not fuse the two metals together before forging, as he had done before.

This time, Lin Yu placed the two pieces of metal separately from the beginning, one on the left and one on the right, and began spirit forging them simultaneously.

The first attempt at forging two pieces of metal failed.

The reason for the failure was clear: the two pieces of metal could not withstand Lin Yu's soul power.

The second time, the two pieces of metal were forged separately again. This time, Lin Yu learned his lesson and did not use his soul power at all, relying solely on hand forging.

As a result, the two pieces of metal were scrapped just before the spirit forging was completed—spirit forging metal requires sufficient "nutrients." Metal without the nourishment of soul power is like parched land, unable to produce food.

The third time—

The fourth time —

Just as Lin Yu was so frustrated that he was about to smash his hammer and repeatedly pondered "whether the failure of the Twin Spirit Forging was due to the incompatibility of the metal itself," the voice of the Blue Silver Emperor rang in his mind.

"Master, do you think it's possible that your 'Golden Blood' and 'Silver Soul' martial souls could also perform a martial soul fusion skill?"

Lin Yu was stunned.

"You should know that in your early years, your consciousness and blood were fused together; at that time, your martial soul was called Blood Soul."

"It's just that later you couldn't control your Blood Soul, so that senior took action and split your Blood Soul into Golden Blood and Silver Soul."

Blue Silver Emperor's voice was unhurried, like a bolt of lightning cleaving through the fog in Lin Yu's mind.

Yes, yes, yes!

His martial soul was indeed originally a blood soul! At that time, his blood could fuse with his soul, and the two powers were originally one. However, an accident occurred later when he absorbed a soul bone—

Since they all originated from the same thing, how could there be no "connection" between them?

With this thought in mind, Lin Yu instantly had a completely new idea about his "Twin Spirit Forging"!

A new round of attempts has begun.

-

After several attempts, Lin Yu finally succeeded. The moment the two pieces of metal were completed with the ultimate thousand forging, Lin Yu simultaneously added some of his golden blood and silver soul to the two pieces of metal.

The iron embryo that had absorbed the gold blood instantly fused with the iron embryo that had absorbed the silver soul!

Perhaps due to the numerous failures he had made before, Lin Yu became somewhat nervous. In his excitement, his soul power failed to keep up, and the iron ingot was ruined once again!

However, this at least proves that Lin Yu's forging approach was correct.

In order to be full of energy for her first spirit forging work, Lin Yu gave up cultivation and meditation, and went back to her room to sleep soundly for a day and a night. Only then did she use her full energy to welcome her first spirit forging experience!

Although it has been less than a year since the Nine Trials of the God of Crafts were promulgated, the entire process of exploring spirit forging seemed to have taken Lin Yu most of his life.

It was still night.

In the stillness of the night sky, a bolt of green lightning ripped through the darkness and struck the Lin residence.

In the forging room, Lin Yu stared blankly at the scene before him.

This was the first spirit-forged weapon he had ever made without any outside help. Because it was of commemorative significance, Lin Yu didn't bother to shape it.

-

As a result, what exactly was forged under the intervention of the green divine lightning?

It was a resilient, emerald-green vine whip covered with iron nails, with a metallic texture.

Is this right? It exudes such a rich life force, yet it turns out to be covered in iron nails and vines?

this--

Lin Yu didn't know how to evaluate this weapon for a moment.

However, the name of the weapon appeared in Lin Yu's mind: Azure Thunder Sky-Splitting Vine.
