Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect

There are other forging techniques, each more complex and difficult than the Hundred Forging Technique, but they can play a greater role in the creation of soul tools.

Well, anyway, Hundred Refinement is the lowest level, and it gets harder and harder as you go up.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming's breathing became rapid. He praised with a smile, "Yuhao, you truly deserve to be called the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire. You can even create something like forging techniques."

In my opinion, you definitely have the potential to become a god. Perhaps you could even become someone like Tang San, the Sea God, in our time.

Chapter 255 Before the Thousand Forgings

Huo Yuhao thought to himself, "Old Kong, please don't curse me. Although Tang San has obtained two godhoods, making him stronger than most beings who have ascended to the God Realm, Tang San's biggest problem lies in his own personality."

If I were to truly become someone like Tang San, then life on Douluo Star would be in jeopardy.

Xuan Ziwen, who was standing to the side, put his hands on the experimental table and looked at Kong Deming. He said, "Teacher, I think there is something wrong with your evaluation of Yuhao. In my opinion, Yuhao will definitely become a person who surpasses Tang San in the future. After all, the achievements that Yuhao has made so far are of great significance to Soul Masters."

Throughout the history of Soul Masters, there has never been a figure who made such a great contribution as Yuhao. I believe that Yuhao's name will surely be praised by future generations.

Of course, Tang San made a huge contribution to Shrek Academy, which is undeniable. However, Tang San's contribution to Douluo Continent and Soul Masters was almost non-existent. His hidden weapons made the people of Douluo Continent fall behind the era of Soul Guidance Devices.

Moreover, Tang San's act of destroying the Spirit Empire actually hindered the development of Douluo Continent. Without Tang San, Douluo Continent might have been better off.

In fact, I've always felt that the existence of the Spirit Empire was positive for the entire Douluo Continent. In any era, a unified empire can better discover talent and coordinate resources. It's just a pity that this empire's unification process failed.

"Oh?" Kong Deming glanced at Xuan Ziwen, somewhat surprised. "Ziwen, you have a good impression of the Spirit Empire?"

Xuan Ziwen shook his head, expressing his opinion: "I can't say I have a good impression of it. After all, I am too far removed from the era of the Spirit Empire, and according to the research of some later scholars, there are also some problems within the Spirit Hall."

However, I do hope that a unified empire will emerge. According to historical records, after Tang San defeated Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, he was basically invincible in the world.

If I were Tang San, I would definitely integrate the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and all the major sects into a single empire. He is a god, and no one can defy him.

But he didn't do that. He destroyed the Spirit Empire, preventing the Douluo Continent from being unified by it, yet he allowed the various empires and forces to continue to divide. To be honest, I don't understand this behavior.

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao thought to himself that Tang Shenwang might enjoy watching the people of Douluo Star kill each other when he was playing a private server.

After all, Tang Shenwang is the kind of person who would publicly say "Douluo Star belongs to all Douluo people," but secretly he's thinking about how to get the right to use Douluo Star 24 hours a day.

In the original novel, Tang San asked Xue Beng not to wage war against the Star Luo Empire for ten years, saying that he had never liked war and wanted the common people to recuperate. He also wanted the two empires to coexist peacefully as much as possible, but this was just a polite remark.

To be honest, given Tang San's prestige and the power of his subordinates at the time, the ceasefire agreement could probably have lasted for a relatively long time.

However, if Tang San does not appear for a long time and those who are close to him die, the two great empires of Tian Dou and Xing Luo will inevitably go to war, and many more civilians will die.

After all, the prospect of annexing another party would bring immense profits, a temptation that no emperor could resist.

Even in the ending of Douluo Continent II, the artificially created peace between the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire completely vanished after Huo Yuhao's long absence.

As for Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, they certainly wouldn't be the first to step in and stop the two empires from going to war.

The former was an academy that only accepted monsters back then, so it only had an "inner academy" and no so-called outer academy, and its entanglement with the two great empires was not that deep.

In addition, given Shrek Academy's consistent "neutral" stance, it is almost impossible for Shrek Academy to get involved unless it is a large-scale war with far-reaching consequences.

As for the latter, there was no reason to stop the war at all. Tang Clan is a hidden weapon sect, and the best environment for a hidden weapon sect to make more money is naturally war. Only when war breaks out can more orders be generated.

......

Two months later.

Huo Yuhao looked at his specially made forging furnace, took a deep breath, and then took out a meticulously crafted forging hammer.

As for Huo Yuhao, he felt that the Hundred Refinements level was still too low, and it was impossible to fully utilize the advantages of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal.

Generally speaking, refining rare metals a hundred times can remove a lot of impurities, but Huo Yuhao wanted to refine them a thousand times. As for the soul refining that followed, that was something to consider only after successfully refining a thousand times.

The path to forging must be taken step by step.

In the world of blacksmiths, the more times a rare metal is forged, the fewer impurities it contains. Thousand-fold forging can even remove all impurities from the metal. Therefore, in Douluo Continent III, only blacksmiths who have mastered Thousand-fold forging can be considered to have truly entered the field.

Of course, the Thousand Refinement has a huge advantage over the Hundred Refinement, which is that it produces a sublimation effect. He felt that if the Ice Extreme War God Armor could produce a sublimation effect, it would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the improvement of his combat power.

Therefore, aside from necessary cultivation, he has also devoted a lot of effort to forging during this period. Now, he has honed his forging skills to the limit at the hundred-forging level. Next, he plans to break through this limit and master the thousand-forging skill.

"Teacher Xuan, Elder Kong, I'm about to begin. If I can successfully complete the Thousand Refinements later, then the core array you've been researching will come in handy," Huo Yuhao said with a smile.

During this period, Xuan Ziwen and Kong Deming devoted a lot of effort to the core array of the humanoid soul tool, striving to make the core array as perfect as possible.

Leaving aside the former, the latter is currently the only level 10 Soul Master in Douluo Continent, so developing a relatively perfect core magic array is naturally not a difficult task for him.

One of the reasons why the development of humanoid soul tools in the Sun Moon Empire was not fast enough in the original work was that Kong Deming was focused on making level 10 soul tools and neglected humanoid soul tools. But now Kong Deming is already a level 10 soul tool master, and with plenty of time, he can naturally devote more energy to humanoid soul tools.

Kong Deming looked at Huo Yuhao with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Yuhao, we have already prepared the core array. As long as you can successfully forge it a thousand times, we can naturally forge the Ice Extreme War God Armor you mentioned."

The original design intent of humanoid soul tools was to be deployed in the military to enhance the user's combat power. If you wear the Ice God Armor, your combat power will definitely increase significantly.

Huo Yuhao nodded, then looked at the forging furnace and began to heat it. After a while, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in the forging furnace began to soften gradually, and even showed signs of melting.

Undoubtedly, it's time to put it to the test.

Huo Yuhao immediately picked up the forging hammer and gently tapped the Ice Extreme God Crystal, and a crisp "clang" sound echoed in the air.

"The metal has good toughness and can be forged."

He swung the hammer and struck the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal hard. With a clang, the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal trembled.

Chapter 256 Successfully Forged!

But before the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal could stop trembling, Huo Yuhao swung his hammer again and struck it, causing the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal to tremble even more.

Huo Yuhao swung his forging hammer, forcefully striking the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, the clanging sounds echoing endlessly.

After a period of time, he had completed the hundred-fold forging. Thanks to his excellent physical condition, even though he hammered the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal hundreds of times, he did not show any signs of fatigue.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm expression and steady breathing, Kong Deming couldn't help but nod in approval: "Yuhao's physique is too good. If it were someone of Yuhao's age undergoing the Hundred Refinements, as long as they didn't use any soul skills to enhance their physical qualities, they would definitely feel their arms getting sore and reduce their hammering speed after hammering the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal a hundred times. But Yuhao didn't reduce his speed in the slightest."

During this period, with Huo Yuhao's help, both he and Xuan Ziwen mastered the Hundred Forging Technique. Therefore, Kong Deming could naturally make a rough assessment of Huo Yuhao's current Hundred Forging Technique level.

Huo Yuhao continued to hammer the Ice Extreme God Crystal, and sweat dripped from his forehead as the flames of the forging furnace surged.

Actually, there are no special techniques involved in forging metal. The most important thing is to treat the metal as a living thing and communicate with it during the forging process, so as to feel its texture.

For Huo Yuhao, communicating with the Ice Extreme God Crystal was indeed somewhat difficult. After all, this thing had no independent consciousness at all. Even those Ice Extreme God Crystals that possessed a portion of life force only had some instinct to be close to the aura of extreme ice.

"Treat it as a life?" Huo Yuhao pondered as he hammered the Ice Extreme God Crystal. Soon, he looked at the Ice Extreme God Crystal, and his eyes gradually changed.

A rich life force gradually emanated from his body, originating from the Guardian Blade of Life between his brows. At the same time, a cold aura also rapidly spread out from Huo Yuhao.

If we consider the other as a life form, then in what capacity should we communicate with this life form more quickly? Without a doubt, it is through being a fellow being. If we are also an Ice Crystal that cannot move on its own, then the first "life form" we come into contact with is naturally a fellow being!

Click, click.

A layer of ice quickly formed on the melting ice crystal. With each hammer blow, Huo Yuhao could create a piece of solid ice. Of course, when the solid ice was shattered, sparks also escaped.

Gradually, Huo Yuhao felt that with each strike of his hammer, he could resonate with the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in a breath-like harmony, as if each breath contained the secrets of a thousand forgings.

Yes, it's the resonance of breathing. For Ice Extreme Crystals, breathing is impossible. Even those Ice Extreme Crystals with ice spirit only have a portion of life force, not a complete life.

Clang, clang.

Huo Yuhao's hammering speed increased, and the volume of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal gradually shrank. Of course, its density gradually increased, and its texture became more and more perfect.

"It should be close to success." Huo Yuhao felt that he had established a wonderful connection with the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, so he could feel the changes in the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal as a "life". He felt that the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal was like a seed, about to break through the dark and damp soil and greet its own sunrise.

when!when!when!when!

Suddenly, the Ice Extreme Crystal burst forth with a dazzling cold light.

Upon seeing this, Huo Yuhao immediately summoned the Blade of the Living Being and cut his wrist. Blood spurted out and landed on the Ice Extreme God Crystal. The blood was immediately absorbed by the Ice Extreme God Crystal, and Huo Yuhao looked at the Ice Extreme God Crystal and felt a sense of connection with it.

It's as if the other person is one's own limb.

This is a blood sacrifice forging process. Rare metals that have undergone blood sacrifice have a chance to be sublimated into stronger special effects. Although this results in a greater loss of blood and qi, Huo Yuhao has the Blade of Life Guardian, which is nourished by life energy all day long, so he doesn't need to worry about this problem at all.

"Successfully completed!" Huo Yuhao breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. The wound on his wrist was also healing rapidly.

His mind raced with thoughts: "I remember that Tang Wulin studied forging for three years and worked extremely hard to master the Thousand Forging Technique, while I have only spent two months to master it."

That's normal, though. He was just a child when he learned forging. But I'm different. I'm a Soul King, and I possess a huge number of Soul Bones. My physical abilities far surpass those of Tang Wulin in his child form, giving me a natural advantage.

However, my forging talent should also be quite formidable. After all, I only spent two months progressing from a hundred-forging skill to a thousand-forging skill, while some forging masters, from beginner to death, only reach the thousand-forging level. Therefore, even in future generations, I would be considered an absolute forging genius!

Beside him, Xuan Ziwen asked excitedly, "Yuhao, you just said you've successfully completed the Thousand Refinements? Doesn't that mean it also has an Ascension Effect? ​​What is its Ascension Effect?"

His voice trembled slightly as he spoke, clearly indicating his extreme excitement. After all, forging techniques had been proven to help improve soul tools, and for someone like Xuan Ziwen who loved soul tools, the allure of forging techniques was even greater than that of soul spirits.

He naturally wanted to know as soon as possible what special effects the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, which had undergone a thousand refinements, possessed.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face: "Teacher Xuan, it has not yet become a true soul tool. Unless it has some special effects that are obvious in the metal stage, I have no way of knowing what its special effects are. Therefore, we should shape it."

Even Tang Wulin, who had successfully forged the Thousand-Forged Silver for the first time, only learned about its sublimation effect after he had transformed the Thousand-Forged Silver Hammer into a Thousand-Forged Silver Hammer.

Kong Deming said cheerfully, "Ziwen, once we've finished forging the Ice Extreme War God Armor, we'll know what its enhanced effects are."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ziwen nodded: "Okay, teacher."

Then he looked at Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, you spent a lot of time forging just now, you must be very tired. Forging is too tiring, so take a rest. The beds in the academy are quite big, you can just take a nap."

"Teacher Xuan, no need, I'm not tired at all." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "On the contrary, I feel refreshed right now."

As the owner of the Blade of the Guardians of Life, it is actually very difficult to make him feel tired from the Thousand Refinements. Of course, he also wants to get the Ice God Armor as soon as possible.

Xuan Ziwen carefully examined Huo Yuhao and felt that the other party's words did not seem to be false, so he nodded and said, "Then let's start forging the Ice Extreme War God Armor immediately. This will definitely be a day that will be recorded in the history of Douluo Continent."

Chapter 257 Ice Extreme War God Armor

In Xuan Ziwen's view, it was Huo Yuhao who brought forging techniques to this world, which undoubtedly has an extremely great significance for the development of soul tools.

During these two months, Xuan Ziwen also tried using refined metal as raw material for some soul tools, and found that the results were very good.

Rare metals that have undergone the Hundred Forging Technique generally have very few impurities, and their soul power transmission effect is much stronger than that of rare metals that have not undergone the Hundred Forging Technique.

With this in mind, Xuan Ziwen and everyone else began to forge the Ice Extreme War God Armor using the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal that had been refined a thousand times.

The process wasn't too difficult, since the most important core magic array and materials had already been properly resolved. In addition, Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing Soul Skill assisted from the side, allowing every little detail to be perfectly polished. Even Kong Deming was full of praise for Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection Sharing Soul Skill.

After some time, the Ice God Armor was completed. It was a set of deep blue armor, and a chill emanated from it, causing the air temperature to drop sharply.

Strictly speaking, this can only be considered half a battle armor. The current Ice Extreme War God Armor has already met the basic requirements of a one-word battle armor and can almost be regarded as the prototype of a one-word battle armor.

After all, the basic requirement for a one-word battle armor is that each component must be made of at least a thousand-times-refined metal.

Thanks to Huo Yuhao's forging just now, every piece of Ice Extreme Divine Crystal is now a thousand-times-refined metal.
