Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 266 Is the Battle Armor Also Myself?

Inside the Spirit Pagoda in Tianhai City.

"It really works!"

Looking at the scene before him, Nan Fusheng couldn't help but sigh.

On the experimental table in front of him, a piece of dark silver was biting a piece of magic silver, crunching as it put it into its mouth.

Yes, it was biting. A huge mouth grew out of the surface of this piece of dark silver metal and started biting wildly at another piece of rare metal, magic silver.

This piece of sunken silver was ordinary sunken silver that had not been processed, but after it swallowed the magic silver, some dark patterns began to appear on its metal surface. These were the patterns that belonged to the magic silver.

Not far away, there was a piece of meteorite iron chasing a piece of cloud gold around.

If the blacksmiths were to witness this scene, their eyes would surely pop out of their sockets. It is well known that in the forging of metals, spirit forging imbues life, soul forging imbues wisdom, and heavenly forging imbues power.

But even if it is given life and a soul, it will never run around like these pieces of metal in front of you.

In this respect, only Tianduan Metal can rival them in terms of activity.

"But it's still far from enough!" Nan Fusheng sighed, looking at the pieces of metal. Although these metals were indeed magical, they couldn't compare to forged metals in terms of practical use.

After acquiring his fifth soul ring, Nan Fusheng's soul power level soared to level sixty. This was not only due to the boost he received from fusing with his soul spirit, but also related to the life energy within the white orb merging into his body.

With the infusion of life energy, it's not surprising that his soul power will surge dramatically. Now, if he wanted to, he could simply fuse with a soul spirit and break through to the Soul Emperor level.

However, Nan Fusheng had no such intention, since he had not yet created his desired sixth soul spirit.

Compared to improving his soul power, he wanted to obtain special soul spirits and abilities.

The living metal before him had all been given life through his fifth soul skill. Nan Fusheng realized this the moment he obtained his fifth soul skill.

Ultimately, the blacksmith's job is to imbue metal with life, spirit, and even special abilities. If that's the case, then what does the special metal he creates appear to the blacksmith in his eyes?

"Furthermore, we don't know how effective metal produced in this way will be for forging." Nan Fusheng was not a blacksmith after all, so he planned to give the metal to Lu Fa to take a look.

Even if it cannot be confirmed, the value of these metals is absolutely unquestionable. After all, whose metals can acquire the properties of other metals by absorbing them?

"Let's go to Tiandou City! Lu Fa is there too." After thinking for a moment, Nan Fusheng decided on the route, since he hadn't used his main body to go out for a long time.

"However, I also need to change my appearance. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if I ran into someone I know." With a thought, Nan Fusheng transformed into an ordinary-looking middle-aged man, a power he possessed through the "Fool" pathway.

"Door." Nan Fusheng planned to use the door's spatial ability to teleport to Tiandou City. Lu Fa was there, which also served as a marker for him.

……

Inside the Tiandou Grand Hotel in Tiandou City, Lu Fa was sitting quietly on the sofa reading a book. Then he looked up and said, "Main body, you've arrived."

A large door suddenly appeared in front of Lu Fa, and Nan Fusheng's figure emerged from it. "Well, I'm here this time to let you try out these metals and see if they have any value for forging."

As he spoke, Nan Fusheng handed over the metal block in his hand.

"What is this?" Lufa looked at the silver in his hand with some curiosity.

Heighing it, it was heavier than ordinary sunken silver, but the metal itself was plain and unadorned, so this piece of sunken silver should not have been forged.

"Woof!" Suddenly, the silver sword in Lu Fa's hand cracked open and bit at his arm.

"Clang!" The large mouth of Shen Yin, which was biting Lu Fa's hand, suddenly made a metallic clanging sound.

"Interesting!" Lu Fa's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the silver needle, ignoring its attempts to bite him. With his defenses, the silver needle was definitely not going to be able to pierce his skin.

"This is the main body, the special metal you mentioned?" Lu Fa asked, weighing the heavy silver in his hand.

"That's right, I'm not a blacksmith after all, so I want you to see the value of this piece of sunken silver."

"I can't be sure of the exact value of this metal. However, I can tell you for sure that it is very valuable. The fact that it possesses life energy means that it can be successfully spirit-forged with just a little forging."

Moreover, it possesses a considerable level of spirituality, ensuring a very high success rate even when used for soul forging.

As Lu Fa spoke, he glanced at Nan Fusheng as if he had thought of something and said, "Main body, since you can give this metal life, can you parasitize it and make it our clone?"

Lu Fa's words startled Nan Fusheng. Yes! Since it already has a life, could he give this piece of metal a soul through parasitism?

"Let's give it a try!" Without hesitation, Nan Fusheng immediately used Parasite on this piece of sunken silver.

"How is it?" Lu Fa asked, looking at the completely motionless Shen Yin.

"It's a success." The one who answered Lu Fa's question was not Nan Fusheng, but the heavy silver in his hand, whose large metal mouth opened and closed.

"Very good, now all that's left is the forging." Lu Fa looked at the piece of heavy silver. Although in terms of spirituality, this "Nanfusheng" brand heavy silver had definitely surpassed the Heavenly Forging.

However, its inherent quality is still that of ordinary rare metals, requiring forging and strengthening before it can be used to manufacture mechs and battle armor. Even so, it's already quite frightening.

Without a doubt, using this piece of sunken silver as a base for forging, as long as the technique is up to par, a piece of soul-forged metal can be obtained very quickly. This is because the metal itself possesses a soul.

As for Heavenly Forging? That won't do, because Heavenly Forging requires being baptized by lightning tribulation.

"Now, even outside, we can proudly say that even with the amplification of the battle armor, it's all our own power," Nan Fusheng complained.

It was already absurd enough that my soul was myself in the first place, but now even my battle armor is myself. Does this mean I'm destined to be my own slave for the rest of my life?

Hey, thinking about it that way, it's not bad! Anyway, we're all working for ourselves, so it's not a loss.

"Then let's not delay, shall we try going to the Blacksmiths' Association?" Lu Fa asked Nan Fusheng.

"You haven't gone to the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City yet?" Nan Fusheng raised an eyebrow.

"No, it was delayed because of Mo Wu's publicity." Lu Fa shook his head. Because of the Soul Guidance Train, Mo Wu publicly announced that he had been given the title of Honorary Citizen of Tian Dou City.

With the badge that matches this title, Lu Fa can get a 20% discount on all his purchases in Tian Dou City, including at auctions.

This is the highest honor in Tiandou City, awarded only to those who have made outstanding contributions to the city, and it cannot be inherited. Even Mo Wu, the city lord, does not possess it.

"Let's not delay, let's go."

……

Tiandou City Blacksmith Association.

This is the largest blacksmith association on the entire continent, as its headquarters are located here. Of course, the most important person here is the president of the Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association, named: Zhen Hua! The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua!

Nan Fusheng and Lu Fa arrived here in a soul-guided car.

At this moment, Lu Fa walked in front, while Nan Fusheng followed behind him.

The main character this time is Lu Fa, and Nan Fusheng plays the role of a member of the Tianhai City Blacksmith Association who is now following Lu Fa after a chance encounter.

Nan Fusheng, now using the alias Smith, is in his thirties and is a level-two blacksmith.

This identity was registered with the Tianhai City Blacksmith Association and was one of the fake identities he had prepared specifically.

"So, what should we do?" Nan Fusheng asked Lu Fa telepathically.

"Of course, we should first attract the attention of the master craftsman," Lufa replied without hesitation. He had already prepared a plan.

Lu Fa walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the Blacksmiths' Association, where he saw a forging table placed in the center of the lobby.

That's the Blacksmiths' Association, specially set up there. The president, Zhenhua, often gives public lectures there from time to time, and occasionally you can even encounter a master craftsman who will step up and answer questions for others.

Sometimes it also serves as a platform for level 6 blacksmiths to exchange ideas.

It can be said that the blacksmiths who dared to go up to the central forging platform were all very confident in their skills.

At that moment, Lufa walked up.

At first, no one paid much attention. After all, there were indeed some people who occasionally wanted to see what the forging table, which had been used by several powerful blacksmiths, looked like, and whether they could gain some inspiration from it.

However, many people were unsettled when they saw Lu Fa place a piece of heavy silver onto the forging table. Wait, what is this child doing? Doesn't the Blacksmith's Guild have a dedicated forging room? And how old is he?

He looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. Could such a young child really understand forging? He actually dared to go to the central forging platform to forge; this is a classic case of a newborn calf not being afraid of a tiger!

There were even quite a few staff members from the Blacksmiths' Association nearby who, upon seeing this, were about to step forward and pull Lu Fa down.

After all, it's a child being trained in front of so many people. If he fails, what a blow it would be to his spirit!

However, the next moment, Lu Fa let out a low roar, and powerful blood energy and soul power surged out from his body, and four black soul rings lit up.

A surge of soul power erupted in the hall, making it impossible for others to ignore.

"What! Ten-thousand-year spirit rings! And four of them!" Even some passersby were attracted by Lu Fa's terrifying spirit ring configuration.

The surrounding crowd began to gather around to watch. Regardless of whether the young man could forge or not, no one dared to underestimate him based solely on his terrifying soul ring configuration.

"Oh!" Nan Fusheng, who was watching from the side, suddenly noticed that Lu Fa had not chosen to place the "Fusheng Brand" sunken silver, but instead chose an ordinary sunken silver.

Lufa placed the forging hammer on the forging table. When they saw his forging hammer, many blacksmiths' pupils shrank. That forging hammer was a heavy silver hammer forged by spirit.

His aura matches that of the young man—how is that possible? Other things might be faked, but this aura can't be faked. Could it be that this young man is actually a level five blacksmith?

At this moment, some veteran blacksmiths also stopped and turned their attention to the central forging table.

Lu Fa's hands hung at his sides, his long arms and slender fingers giving off a strange feeling. He exuded a sense of quality and an indescribable aura.

The forging time of the molten silver was easy to judge. Suddenly, Lu Fa pressed a button, and the molten silver, which had been heated to a bright red, rose up. He then grabbed his pair of forging hammers with both hands and brought them down at the same time.

"boom!!!"

Compared to normal forging, Lu Fa's actions resembled smashing the heavy silver into a flat shape. However, under this terrifying force, the volume of the heavy silver shrank rapidly.

Even more strangely, it became increasingly brighter. Faintly, one could even see some fine and regular patterns appearing on this piece of sunken silver.

This……

How could such terrifying power be refined?

It took a full quarter of an hour, when suddenly, a dazzling golden light rose up.

When the golden light appeared, a roar of a giant beast could even be clearly heard in the hall. Then, the golden light shot into the sky like a dragon.

A thousand times forging imbues it with spirit!

However, it would be quite amazing if a normal Thousand-Refined Spirit could rise five feet, but Lu Fa's golden light rose more than ten feet high, soaring upwards and swaying and waving, like a golden dragon dancing in the wind.

"The ultimate!" an elderly level six blacksmith murmured. He was also a level six blacksmith, but he was absolutely certain that he might never be able to do what he was about to do in his entire life.

Yes, Lu Fa has perfected the art of refining the sunken silver, pushing the limits of what a piece of metal could achieve through refining to its zenith.

This is something that even many master craftsmen probably couldn't do; it's estimated that only the divine craftsman Zhenhua could accomplish.

Forging requires strength, and the more strength you use, the harder it is to control.

Many master craftsmen could not forge items using only the strength of their wrists, unlike Lufa.

Because their own power is insufficient, if they directly use their soul power, it will also involve control issues, which is far less controllable than pure power.

But Lufa is clearly capable of it; possessing the bloodline of the Platinum Behemoth, he is a veritable humanoid beast.

With both hands, Lu Fa's heavy silver hammers arced through the air, and before the golden light could fall, he had already swung them out again.

Two beams of light fell simultaneously, striking the Thousand-Refined Silver and producing a sound much brighter than before.

Looking at the piece of silver now, it was covered with a layer of fine, dense cloud patterns. The cloud patterns themselves radiated a dazzling brilliance, with a flowing halo, as if it had transformed into a different metal.

Soul power infused, spiritual power infused! Lu Fa began the most important process of spirit forging: the enlightenment of life.

The biggest difference between spirit forging and thousand forging is spirituality. Without a doubt, the more spirituality a rare metal possesses, the more valuable it is.

As Lu Fa's twin hammers fell, the golden cloud patterns on the silver gradually deformed, turning from smooth to twisted. Faintly, with the infusion of Lu Fa's soul power, it began to ripple with rhythmic light.

Has it already started to show spirituality? That's too fast!

Even for skilled level six blacksmiths, the spirit forging process, even using the most common rare metals, takes at least an hour to complete. This is because detecting and activating the life force of a rare metal is extremely difficult.

At this moment, although Lu Fa has not yet completed the spirit forging, since the metal has already shown signs of spiritual change, it naturally means that the spirit forging is about to be completed.

That's so fast! It only took three minutes in total!

Even those veteran blacksmiths who have been at the sixth-level blacksmith realm for decades could not complete spirit forging in just three minutes!
