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

The heavy sticks, swung by both hands, came down.

Another flash of black light appeared, and Lin Yu felt as if he had crashed into a piece of metal.

Moreover, this recoil force was greater than that of ordinary thousand-refined metal, and what made Lin Yu even more uncomfortable was that his soul power could not penetrate into the other party's body.

It's important to know that a crucial prerequisite for activating his active skill is sending a portion of his own soul power to the opponent's heart. Only in this way can he influence his opponent through his own heartbeat.

Damn, isn't their defense a bit too strong?!

Not only did he fail to injure the opponent with his two blows, his soul power didn't even penetrate them!

Just as Lin Yu was preparing to face the Ironclad Black Dragon's counterattack, the Ironclad Black Dragon, which clearly held a huge advantage, actually... ran away!

It ran away halfway through the fight, and I didn't even break its skin? How could this black dragon be so afraid of death?!

Liu Erlong, who was standing to the side, noticed Lin Yu's frustration and discomfiture, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I told you before, the characteristics of soul power are different from those of martial soul. Judging from its performance just now, according to us soul masters, it was just the soul power circulating once within its body."

"Hmm, it's not even a skill, it's just simple soul power circulating around the watch, you can't even break through the opponent's defense."

"Of course, dragon-type soul beasts are the strongest among soul beasts of the same age. The one in front of you, judging from its current personality, has definitely maxed out its defense. Its attack method is probably just that iron spike that rose from the ground just now."

In the midst of their conversation, Liu Erlong had already rushed to the top of the Ironclad Black Dragon's head.

As Liu Erlong's violent kick landed, a loud "boom" was heard in the distance.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, Lin Yu saw a creature with its back almost completely pierced and burned flying towards him.

Bang!

The 2,200-year-old, armored black dragon with its defenses maxed out still had undisguised shock and resentment in its eyes.

The man and the dragon stared at each other.

They are clearly different species, and even their circumstances and positions are different.

But after exchanging glances, both the man and the dragon understood the message hidden in each other's eyes: This woman is really violent.

Lin Yu really wanted to summon Ghost Douluo. He wanted to ask if he could cancel the mission since he didn't want the ten-thousand-year-old herb anymore.

Based on the physical attributes of Liu Erlong, a Soul Saint, in her current human form, is it really possible for a mere Soul Venerable like myself to try and take advantage of her?

At that point, wouldn't it just shatter itself if Liu Erlong exerted any force?!

Just as Lin Yu's expression turned grim, a somewhat disgruntled voice rang out beside him.

"Xiaoyu, what are you daydreaming about? If we don't kill it soon, it'll die!"

Liu Erlong's words drew Lin Yu's attention back to the armored black dragon in front of him, and the gaze in its pupils was indeed gradually fading.

Let's just take it one step at a time and see.

Anyway, we'll be going to Notting City after absorbing the spirit ring. Right now, Xiao Wu should still be flirting with Tang San in Notting City.

If Ghost Douluo, who had been secretly following him, sensed the aura of the 100,000-year-old soul beast when they were about to reach Notting City, he would definitely make the first move against the 100,000-year-old soul beast. As long as he captured Xiao Wu, he could get away with the mission.

As for what will happen to that 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit after it is captured, Lin Yu has no interest in it, nor can he interfere.

After all, it was Liu Erlong who proposed coming to Notting City, and Bibi Dong issued the mission because of this information. Ghost Douluo also followed him because of this mission... He couldn't control these factors.

After defeating the unfortunate armored black dragon, Lin Yu began to sit cross-legged and absorb its soul ring.

Focus your mind, stop projecting your consciousness outwards, and immerse yourself entirely within your body.

The moment the energy within the spirit ring flowed towards him, Lin Yu drew it to the reverse scale outside his heart on his chest...

…………

The 2,200-year-old soul ring was transformed into a string of warm skills through the joint efforts of Lin Yu and Ni Lin.

So far, Lin Yu has absorbed three spirit rings and has some guesses about the effects of spirit skills and spirit bone skills.

First, each spirit ring has a "characteristic", and all skills are based on this "characteristic".

For example, the first soul ring has the characteristic "spreading" which is related to the fire attribute, and all skills are extensions of the martial soul/soul bone characteristics based on it.

The second soul ring has the characteristic of "vibration" related to the earth element, and all skills are extensions based on it.

The only anomaly is that the second soul skill, which is related to blood, has become an amplification of internal organs, specifically the heart.

Previously, Lin Yu didn't understand why this was happening, but after absorbing the third soul ring, Lin Yu had some guesses about blood-related soul skills, because his third soul skill strengthened the spleen, stomach and abdomen, and the soul skill was "Indestructible Vajra".

The effect is that the abdomen cannot be injured, whether from the outside or the inside.

His first soul skill is fire, and it doesn't specifically strengthen any organ; his second soul skill is earth, but it strengthens the heart, which represents fire among the internal organs; his third soul skill is metal, but it strengthens the spleen, stomach, and abdomen, which represent earth.

This is the generation and transformation in the Five Elements!

If it follows the Five Elements theory from his previous life, then absorbing a water-attribute element with his fourth soul skill would most likely strengthen his lungs. Absorbing a wood-attribute element with his fifth soul skill would then grant him a strengthening effect on his kidneys.

In this situation, one's sixth spirit ring needs to be a fire-attribute spirit ring, which would require a significant boost.

The seventh soul skill is the Martial Soul True Body, which perfectly integrates the five internal organs to create a powerful physique.

Of course, this was just a guess by Lin Yu after experiencing the effects of the soul skill.

…………

"Dean, the characteristics of my soul power have indeed changed. Now, wherever my soul power flows, my skin and muscles become incredibly firm."

After absorbing the spirit ring, Lin Yu briefly summarized the biggest changes that the thousand-year spirit ring brought to him.

Liu Erlong curiously reached out and pinched Lin Yu's muscle strength, then clicked his tongue in amazement.

"You're finally starting to look like a powerful offensive Soul Master, but don't be careless. In the world of Soul Masters, there's always someone better, and there are plenty of Martial Souls that can break through your defenses, so don't get arrogant."

Lin Yu said "Oh," snapping out of her reverie as she gained the "characteristic" of soul power.

After resting, Lin Yu, still somewhat unwilling to give up, offered her own itinerary suggestions.

"Dean, I have gained some understanding of the gold element now. If I were to undergo the 'Ten Thousand Refinements' now, the chances of success would be very high."

Upon hearing Lin Yu's highly purposeful itinerary suggestion, Liu Erlong fell silent and did not reply to Lin Yu immediately.

Although he has a second soul skill that allows him to control his heartbeat, in emergency situations, his control over his heartbeat is almost zero.

Liu Erlong could feel the violent heartbeat even from several meters away.

With a sigh, Liu Erlong turned his head to look over, looking rather helpless.

"Xiaoyu, I'm just going to see an old friend. Aren't you being too nervous?"

Lin Yu remained silent, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and suddenly let out a sigh.

"Dean, someone like Yu Xiaogang is not good enough for you."

I will write a panel for the protagonist's abilities after his original martial soul awakens.

If you really can't remember them, you can think of the main characters as low-budget versions of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.
