Douluo Continent: The Cataclysm of the Dead - Huo Yuhao

At least for now.

Because he hadn't yet had complete contact with Xiao Yan, Huo Yuhao couldn't be certain about the level of forging. Xiao Xiao also wasn't particularly interested in this area, so it was within Huo Yuhao's estimation.

In terms of skill level, Xiao Yan, as the vice president of the Blacksmith Association, should at least have a level of fusion forging ability, even in his moments of decline.

As a result, this one blow alone was enough to severely embarrass Huo Yuhao.

The fact that Xiao Yan's forging skills were perfected in a single hammer blow only indicates that he was at least at the Soul Forging level.

Otherwise, this single hammer blow cannot achieve the desired shape after a thousand forgings.

almost impossible.

This caused Huo Yuhao to reveal an uncontrollable surge of joy on his face.

If the other party has the level of Soul Forging, it is equivalent to being a Saint Craftsman.

That means that not only his future one-word battle armor, but even his two-word battle armor, could potentially be obtained with the other party's help.

At this moment, on the forging platform, two pieces of rare metal, already shaped after a thousand forgings, were placed there, radiating their most original and simple attribute fluctuations.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and the two forging hammers suddenly fell down again.

These two pieces of rare metal, which had already taken shape, were forcibly fused together by that single hammer blow.

And their spiritual connection remained completely intact.

This is no easy process either; it usually requires countless trials and tribulations and extreme caution to reach this point. However, in Xiao Yan's hands, it was just a matter of one blow.

After that, the forging hammer in Xiao Yan's hand no longer fell only after a long interval, but instead flowed continuously across the two rare metals like rain.

Amidst the clanging and tinkling sounds, as if a musical piece was being played, the two fused rare metals were also gradually changing. Huo Yuhao, whose mental power was most sensitive, quickly noticed it.

These two rare metals have already emitted two extremely faint spiritual fluctuations.

Mental fluctuations are unique to living beings.

Spirit forging, in essence, is also a way of creating a living being.

Therefore, only blacksmiths at the Spirit Forging level can be called masters.

However, even at this point, Huo Yuhao was well aware that this was not the end.

Unlike conventional forging, the most crucial aspect of fusion forging is to fuse the spiritual energy generated within these two rare metals together.

In other words, if it were a conventional spirit forging process, at this stage, all that would be needed is to fully awaken the spirituality between the metals.

The purpose of fusion forging is to allow the spiritual energy generated by these two rare metals to gradually merge together.

As Xiao Yan followed, the process accelerated almost before Huo Yuhao's eyes, with the forging hammer in his hand falling.

The newly born spirituality within the two rare metals gradually merged completely as the forging hammer fell.

The spiritual clashes or unexpected events that would normally occur seemed to have no chance of happening at all. As Xiao Yan's forging hammer fell like a storm.

The whole process took less than two and a half minutes.

The rare metal—no, it should be called a fused, spirit-infused alloy—exuded a faint yet vibrant life force within it, which Huo Yuhao could sense.

This clearly proves that the metal has now been completely transformed into a sentient alloy.

Having witnessed all of this, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Yan who was staring at the spirit alloy, and suddenly asked a question.

"Senior Xiao Yan, may I ask you a question? What level of blacksmith are you?"

Xiao Yan, who seemed to be still immersed in forging this piece of fused spirit-forged metal, was initially displeased when Huo Yuhao asked him a question. However, after hearing the question, he glanced at him in surprise and then spoke indifferently.

"Heh, I guess I can barely be considered a grandmaster. I might have been able to make a name for myself before, but now I can only play around with myself."

At this point, Xiao Yan felt an even stronger sense of resentment, but he was powerless to change anything, given the current state of the Blacksmith Association.

The replacement of soul tools and the decline of hidden weapons seem to be destined to become history.

I feel like I'm caught in the torrent of the times, and despite trying my best to resist, I can't do anything about it.

Huo Yuhao, however, did not speak at this moment, but continued to listen.

"I need more than just this amount of spirit alloy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan didn't ramble on. He took out some more of the two metals from the warehouse and continued forging.

Only after forging a large batch of spirit alloys that Huo Yuhao needed.

Huo Yuhao also borrowed this room.

Construction began very quickly.

After two days and nights without sleep, Huo Yuhao emerged from his room with dark circles under his eyes.

Xiao Yan couldn't help but look at Huo Yuhao. Although he knew the chances were slim, he still seemed to want to gamble on a future.

After Huo Yuhao chuckled, the next thing he took out, a so-called behemoth, seemed to shock Xiao Yan's understanding of the world.

It was a humanoid soul tool, somewhat similar to a Gundam, but only about seven meters tall overall. It was made entirely of spirit alloys that Xiao Yan recognized.

Even just by placing it here, Xiao Yan could sense the uniqueness of this so-called soul tool.

Its entire body is covered in purple and silver tones, giving it a noble and mysterious appearance.

Chapter 115 Dual Forms

Xiao Yan had seen quite a few soul tools before.

Most of them are shaped like weapons.

As for humanoid soul tools, he had never seen one in his life.

It should be understood that in this era, not to mention the backward original three countries of the continent, even in the Sun Moon Empire, the research on humanoid soul tools is progressing slowly.

Most of it still exists in theory.

The so-called Project Zero, although it brought together most of the level nine soul masters to study the so-called humanoid soul tool, was initially only intended to be a weapon of war, and it was complicated from top to bottom.

More importantly, it carried a large number of weapons.

After all, according to conventional design, a humanoid soul tool must carry a large amount of firepower if it is to have offensive capabilities.

However, the purple-level mecha that Huo Yuhao has created is not like that.

More accurately, it's like an enlarged version of a person.

The reason it has this feeling is because it is made entirely of a spirit alloy.

While radiating spirituality, it's as if there's not a single superfluous element in its entire being.

This kind of shock would leave even non-Soul Masters like Xiao Yan stunned. In fact, Soul Masters are more aware of the true value of this humanoid Soul Tool.

Just building it is a challenge.

After realizing that the humanoid soul tool in front of him was made entirely of spirit alloy, Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask Huo Yuhao a question.

"Normally, it seems like your soul tools don't need these, right?"

There was no mockery, just a straightforward statement of facts. After all, most of the soul tools currently being crafted, even those at level nine, still use newly refined rare metals.

The difference in power is due to the design blueprints and the crucial nature of the soul guide core itself.

It can be said that, whether it is level one or level nine, it is essentially still using rare metals.

However, the humanoid mecha that Huo Yuhao is currently building is actually made of spirit alloy.

This puzzled Xiao Yan, but it also made him increasingly excited.

Huo Yuhao chuckled softly, but deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

"Because only a spirit alloy can maximize its power."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's mind stirred.

The back of the android soul guide device gradually deformed.

"Click, click."

But this was not a drastic deformation; rather, it was as if a hole gradually appeared out of thin air on his back.

After Huo Yuhao jumped in, the hole on his back gradually healed again as the machine transformed.

The overall shape gives the impression that this mecha was born without any holes.

Huo Yuhao leaped into the cockpit of the mecha.

The mecha seemed to come alive, as its head and eyes burst forth with silver light.

This purple-level mech radiated a purple aura, as if it had been awakened from a state of death.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath as he gazed at the enormous creature before him.

As one circulates their soul power, they can feel the oppressive aura emanating from the purple-level mecha before them.

In no way inferior to a Soul Emperor?!

However, after observing Huo Yuhao over the past few days, he also realized that Huo Yuhao's cultivation level was only that of a Soul Venerable.

Although it cannot be denied that, in Xiao Yan's perception, the other party did not have the weak soul power of ordinary soul masters, but rather had an exceptionally strong physique.

The depth of his own soul power foundation is even comparable to that of a regular Soul Master.

This is a symbol of genius, something that even some of Shrek Academy's inner disciples might not be able to achieve.

This situation might only apply to elite inner court disciples, or top geniuses within sects or academies.

But that was still at the Soul Master level, meaning it was based on a certain level of Soul Power.

But the feeling this mecha gave him was no less than facing a Soul Emperor.

While this doesn't directly mean that the mecha in front of us can rival a Soul Emperor, just having this feeling is a terrifying fact.

It's important to understand that Huo Yuhao, the one operating the system, was only a Soul Master.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao's voice also reached Xiao Yan's ears through the mecha.

"Uncle Xiao, would you be willing to test the combat capabilities of this mech?"

Faced with this question, Xiao Yan naturally nodded directly.

"Of course, I would be extremely happy to."
