Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 74: Does it have to be this realistic?

"Tang San, you are amazing! Only a master craftsman can forge Thousand Refinement metal. This metal can be used to make legendary armor that can withstand attacks from Soul Saints."

Mr. Li sighed repeatedly, then said regretfully, "It's just too small, only about half the size of a hand."

"I was lucky." Tang San finished recovering, smiled, and said, "Boss Li, I made a lot of tools from the blacksmith's scrap iron, so I got a good deal. I'll give you this piece of thousand-refined iron as payment."

"How can this be?" Boss Li hurriedly shook his head. "Those scrap irons were useless to begin with. You took them to forge tools, which is considered waste utilization. But this thousand-refined iron is a treasure. In Gengxin City, it can be bought for at least ten thousand gold soul coins. Moreover, the weapons and kitchen knives you usually forge are more popular with customers. I've made quite a bit of money."

"Boss Li, don't refuse. Let's keep things separate. I don't want to take your money for nothing," Tang San insisted.

"Alright." Seeing this, Boss Li accepted the piece of thousand-refined iron and said to Tang San, "If you need anything in the future, just let me know. Although we are not Soul Masters, there are quite a few people in my blacksmith shop. Everyone is strong. Even if someone is a Soul Master, we can still beat them with our forging hammers and some lime powder."

Tang San was both amused and exasperated, but he accepted the kindness of Boss Li and the others.

After obtaining this piece of thousand-forged iron, Boss Li planned to personally use it to forge a dagger, which he would use as his masterpiece.

Tang San had gained profound insights today and planned to return early. Boss Li agreed, since Tang San's forging efficiency was unmatched by others, and he could come whenever he wanted.

"Boss, I want to forge a weapon."

Just then, a young man entered the blacksmith's shop. He was wearing a white, close-fitting outfit that looked very refreshing, but the fabric was not the cotton or linen used by ordinary people. Instead, it was silk spun by some kind of silkworm-like spirit beast.

This person is either rich or noble.

Not only Tang San, but Boss Li also noticed and hurried over with a beaming smile: "What kind of weapon would you like to have made, sir?"

"My martial spirit is a spear, and I want to forge a spear that is exactly the same as my martial spirit." The young man released his martial spirit, and it was indeed a spear, entirely silver, with a rather large spearhead, which could even be described as a short sword, with a dragon pattern on it. "This is my martial spirit, the Dragon Pattern Spear."

Boss Li's expression suddenly turned troubled, and he said, "Sir, we can't make it."

"Um?"

The boy was taken aback, glanced at Tang San, and asked, "Can't he fight? I saw you guys from afar that you seemed excited because he forged a piece of excellent iron. Can't we even use that iron?"

"It's not a technical issue," Boss Li said with a wry smile. "If the customer simply wants us to forge a spear exactly like your martial spirit, each of our people can forge one individually, but we can't forge one."

"Why?" The boy frowned. "If it's not a technical issue, why can't we build it?"

"It's very simple. We commoners can't just make long weapons like spears."

Boss Li explained the reason: "The Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire, and even the Star Luo Empire all have regulations for blacksmith shops like ours. We can make swords and the like, but we can't make long-handled weapons like spears, halberds, and long knives, except for clubs. These are weapons of war. If we make them on our own, we will be considered to be treason or have connections with rebels."

"For someone like you, whose martial spirit is a spear, inherited from your parents, the three great empires can't interfere, but they are very strict about spear-type weapons."

"Guest, you may have just come from a prominent family, so you're probably unaware of these things."

The boy was a little dumbfounded.

His name is Yang Long. He does indeed come from a certain family, and it is the Breaking Clan. His martial soul, the Dragon Pattern Spear, is a mutation of the Soul Breaking Spear. He has an innate level eight soul power. Now at the age of fifteen, his cultivation level has reached level thirty-five.

In addition to this, he also has another identity: a transmigrator who knows the plot of Douluo Continent.

Originally, Yang Long wanted to persuade Yang Wudi to join the Spirit Hall, but then—he almost had his leg broken by Yang Wudi. As for the others in the Breaking Clan, even the younger generation, they were all rather impatient and, influenced by the previous generation, did not consider the Spirit Hall at all.

Helpless, he could only think of developing the family in other directions.

Then he discovered that the world was much bigger than he had imagined—

Initially, Yang Long's plan was this: have Yang Wudi lead his family to Sunset Forest to find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, seize the immortal herb, and then... that was it.

We can't even get to the first step.

The Sunset Forest was much larger than he had imagined, with a diameter of at least several hundred kilometers. Even a Title Douluo could not explore the entire area of ​​the forest.

When he first told Yang Wudi that there might be treasures inside Sunset Forest, Yang Wudi didn't react at all... At first, he thought that Yang Wudi might not believe the words of a child like him, but later he realized that everyone knew that there were unexplored areas deep in Sunset Forest, where unknown treasures might exist.

But what good will it do to know?

Without the strength of a Title Douluo, venturing into the deeper areas of Sunset Forest would be a major problem, and the Soul-Breaking Spear of the Breaking Clan is simply not suitable for use in the forest.

Although there's a saying that "an inch longer, an inch stronger" when it comes to weapons, Yang Wudi told him:

Read more books. The best place for long weapons to be used is the battlefield. If your weapon is longer than the enemy's, you can get to the enemy first. However, in one-on-one combat, there are many more factors to consider, especially in the forest. The most common moves that a spear can use are thrusting. Other moves such as sweeping and parrying are difficult to execute in an environment with many trees.

Destroying trees requires additional soul power.

In the Soul Beast Forest, Soul Masters must conserve their physical strength and soul power as much as possible to avoid unnecessary waste.

Afterwards, Yang Long suggested that he could befriend Dugu Bo, but Yang Wudi said that he was used to being free and did not want to get involved with the Heaven Dou Empire.

Dugu Bo is a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire. On the surface, he stands on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire. The Po clan is on good terms with him. Does that mean they will also stand on the side of the Heaven Dou Empire?

That's what other forces will think anyway.

The Spirit Hall was just looking for a reason to deal with and subdue the Breaking Clan!

Later, Yang Long gave up thinking and began to cultivate step by step. He reached level 35 at the age of fifteen, which was very fast and even comparable to innate full soul power.

However, Yang Long was not satisfied and prepared to look for other opportunities.

For example, Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill.

Although Tang San didn't give the Mysterious Heaven Skill to anyone in Douluo Continent I, Yang Long felt that he might still get it, since Tang San cared a lot about Xiao Wu.

Therefore, he traveled over mountains and through arduous journeys, spending more than half a year before finally finding Notting City... He vowed that if anyone ever said that Douluo Continent was small, he would fight them.

Along the way, besides purchasing supplies, he also heard about the Spirit Hall's new positioning of Spirit Masters and the theoretical knowledge of the role of whale glue, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to them.

After all, I was too tired from traveling to read the newspaper.

It wasn't until he arrived in Notting City that he regained some energy. He planned to find a blacksmith shop to see if he could meet Tang San and, while he was at it, pay him to do some work for him.

But why can't long spears be forged?

Does this wicked feudal society have to be this realistic?

Although this is another world, there are not many Soul Masters, so restricted-level weapons should exist.
