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

Why do I forge?

Lin Yu answered this question without much thought.

"Because my martial soul is geared towards development and is very weak in the early stages, I need to forge it in order to have strength in the early stages and to earn enough resources to improve my strength."

Although he didn't know why the scale would ask him such a question, Lin Yu still revealed his true thoughts.

Having received Lin Yu's answer, the cracks on the scales slowly repaired themselves, returning to normal within a few breaths.

Lin Yu was completely stunned by this scene.

Good heavens, I'm probably in the process of being forged into a spirit, but this scale has its own consciousness and thoughts.

To truly complete the Spirit Forging, is it necessary to obtain the approval of this scale?

"That's right, if you want to use me, you need my approval."

Whether it was due to the spirit forging or some other reason, this golden scale and Lin Yu were able to communicate with each other.

However, this mutual understanding seems to be one-sided; the other person can easily sense one's thoughts, but one cannot sense the other person's thoughts.

"Boy, if you want to probe my thoughts, you'll have to reach the limits of this world and further elevate your spirit before you can do so."

"Now, I'll ask you my second question."

"Given my current state, there are two ways to maximize my effectiveness:"

"Firstly, I extracted the last remaining trace of Golden Dragon blood from my body and merged it into your blood. The Golden Dragon was the strongest being below the Dragon God in ancient times, possessing an extremely powerful physical body while wielding ultimate destructive power."

"Secondly, let me merge with the last trace of golden dragon blood within me. In this case, you will lose the opportunity to obtain a powerful bloodline, but you will gain a powerful weapon comparable to a divine artifact."

"You have to choose one of the two options, what do you pick?"

Lin Yu never expected that he would encounter such a thing when he was just trying to refine the ten thousand times.

pick one of two?

If it were during the period immediately following the awakening of his martial soul, Lin Yu would still hesitate, but now...

"I choose the second option."

After Lin Yu spoke, the scales that were originally attached to Lin Yu's chest were torn off with a ripping sound.

As the scales were torn off, several strands of pale golden blood were also drawn out along with them.

Lin Yu felt a sudden clarity in his mind, and the consciousness mixed in his blood and tainted by the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone returned to normal.

Before Lin Yu could even catch her breath, the next question made her tense up instantly.

"My third question is, having had two near-death experiences, what kind of answer would you give me?"

What the hell?!

Two near-death experiences?

When I transmigrated, it was probably a near-death experience. Everything went black before my eyes, and I found myself in this world.

The second time he was on the verge of death was when he was over five years old and his village was massacred. He was saved because he awakened his martial spirit.

Isn't that mind-reading ability a bit too cheating?!

If the other party can read my thoughts, wouldn't they also be able to read my memories from before my time travel? Wouldn't they also be able to read the so-called "truth" of this world?!

Upon realizing this, Lin Yu seemed to hear a few mocking laughs.

But those mocking laughs seemed to be genuine auditory hallucinations.

"Alright, kid, listen to the third question. If two doors appeared in front of you, would you rather live or die?"

"If you choose to live, please explain why you don't want to die. If you want to die, please explain why you don't want to live."

Do you ask yourself the choice between life and death?

Having had two near-death experiences, Lin Yu certainly has some authority to speak on this issue.

"If I had a choice, I would choose to live."

"In my younger years, I was quite obsessed with finding the meaning of life. But after dying twice, I realized that everyone dies eventually. Since the outcome is predetermined, why obsess over a meaningless question?"

"After that, I began to pursue death. The death I pursued was not suicide, but a magnificent finale."

"That final act could be to fulfill my filial duty to my parents, to be loyal to my country, or to fulfill my responsibilities at work... I strive to do all of these things, just for a refined finale."

"Since there are two doors in front of me, if I choose death, then this ending would be too unrefined."

The voice seemed quite interested in Lin Yu's words.

"Judging from your words, if you were faced with a certain death, would you accept it calmly?"

Lin Yu just smiled at these words.

"If it's truly a situation where death is inevitable, what's wrong with facing it calmly?"

Lin Yu could roughly understand what this guy was trying to say after rambling on for so long: he wanted to possess her body.

His own martial soul is very special; it is a fusion of blood and soul. As long as his blood is changed, his soul will change along with the blood.

This scale can easily eliminate the influence of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone on me, so how could it possibly influence me so easily?

Not to mention, he now knows the biggest secret of himself as a transmigrator: not only does he know the truth about this world, but he also knows its "future" and all sorts of so-called opportunities.

Given the other party's current calm and demeanor, he might not even recognize the opportunity that I see.

If the other person were to take over my body, they would definitely do everything better than me and achieve more.

Of course, most importantly, Lin Yu roughly guessed the other party's identity. The other party should be the true owner of this scale, that dragon-type soul beast.

Once he possesses this body, he can directly enter human society. Later, he can use this body to become a god and enter the realm of gods.

When the time comes, if he wants, he can instigate a civil war in the God Realm and then make his move in that inevitable spacetime turbulence.

Then the world can be regained under the control of the Soul Beast race!

"Kid, you're smart enough and meticulous enough, but your vision is still too narrow."

"With the potential of your body, you're guaranteed to be a God King in the God Realm, and you could even try your best to reach the level of a Dragon God."

"Kid, relax and see what this body's potential is all about!"

In an instant, Lin Yu felt her consciousness being forcibly inserted into her body.

However, at this moment, his consciousness was not in his blood vessels, but in his bones.

And it was evenly spread across the 206 bones.

As for this body, it was completely out of Lin Yu's control and stood up abruptly.

Lin Yu could only perceive her physical condition by extending her consciousness outward.

"That girl over there, I wouldn't have woken up if it weren't for the bone you left behind. You deserve this opportunity."

"Self" looked up at the Blue Silver Emperor swaying on the earthen mound above the cave, then raised his hand and made a grasping motion.

It seemed as if something was grabbed and then pressed against his chest.

Immediately afterwards, a brand new soul appeared in Lin Yu's body. That consciousness was weaker than his own and could only stay in his liver at this moment.
