Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night

"Hmm." Leng Yaozhu hummed indifferently and said coldly: "It's working time now. Please ask the Master of the Ancient Pagoda to call your position."

"You..." Qiangu Dongfeng's expression froze. Noticing the strange looks from the other families around him, his face turned cold and he returned his gaze to the arena, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at Jiang Xiu.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Behind the Yu family's sign, Yu Guanzhi looked at Jiang Xiu, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

He is not only the commander of the Central Army Corps, but also the helmsman of the contemporary Yu family. His four-character battle armor was made by Zhenhua, so he came in person when he was invited this time. Unexpectedly, he met Jiang Xiu again.

"It seems the strategy needs to change a bit..." Yu Guanzhi's expression remained unchanged, but he began to think again...

In the competition field, the Earth Mother Youyin emitted a brilliant golden light that was three feet long. This light represented the first level of the Thousand Forgings, which made the blacksmith next to Jiang Xiu stunned.

"No buddy, you're really capable."

He originally thought that Jiang Xiu was just trying to show off, but now the light of the First Thousand Forgings made him think that he was the clown.

"Boom boom boom!"

Jiang Xiu did not pay attention to the things outside, but his eyes became sharper, and the Kanjin Hammer in his hand became sharper, and he kept smashing it towards the Earth Mother Youyin, making a dull sound.

"Use the mind as a hammer, the martial soul as a guide, and be of one mind and spirit to forge all living beings." Jiang Xiu silently recited the mantra of spiritual forging in his heart. A layer of black mist like liquid gradually spread on his hands, and his noble purple eyes suddenly turned into dead blood pupils.

Spiritual forging is the fusion of metal and life, and more importantly, the communication between metal and the blacksmith's soul. Using the martial soul as a bridge and the soul as a hammer, each fusion and hammering gives the metal spirituality. When the mind and spirit are united, the metal can be brought to life through forging!

"Today, let me awaken your spirit!"

Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes froze, his body half turned, and he swung the Kanjin Hammer in both hands at the same time. The power of blood and energy splashed out, and a fierce force started from his calves. The huge force was instantly transmitted to the waist, and then to the back, arms, wrists, and finally gathered on the Kanjin Hammer.

"Boom!"

The two golden hammers slammed down on the Earth Mother Youyin with a sharp explosion sound, like a meteor chasing the moon. Even the three-foot golden light was directly shattered and turned into layers of ripples that spread out.

But under these two hammers, Mother Earth Youyin no longer resisted, but actively cooperated with the hammering, constantly changing the patterns on her body.

Jiang Xiu seemed to have anticipated this. The Kanjin Hammer kept falling, and the roar of the collision continued to ring out.

But whether it is a dull or crisp roar, the roar at that moment gives people a strange sense of rhythm.

Jiang Xiu's punches were obviously very wild and the sounds were deafening, but the rhythm only made people excited rather than irritated.

Jiang Xiu's body kept twisting, and each hammer strike seemed heavier than the last, as if he was putting all his strength into it. The heavy-hitting effect of the Kanjin Hammer was also stimulated at this moment, and the Earth Mother Youyin took the initiative to slightly adjust the angle continuously, so that each hammer strike was just right.

"Buzz!"

As time passed, the size of Mother Earth Youyin gradually shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to emit a slight humming sound, which was both joyful and a little shy like a young girl.

"Half-step Spiritual Refining! He really did it!"

A seventh-level Saint Craftsman saw this scene, clenched his fists, and said excitedly, "Half-step Spiritual Refining represents half-step to Grandmaster level, and that boy looks so young."

"Yes, it's true that heroes emerge from young. But I want to ask, whose apprentice is this? If he has no master, I would be willing to accept him as my own disciple and lead him to higher places." An old man with eight blue and gold lines on his face held his beard and said with a smile.

"Master Mu, you are definitely qualified. After all, you are an eighth-level Saint Craftsman."

"That's right, with your qualifications, who would dare to say no?"

The others complimented him.

"Is this an offense to my husband? That's quite interesting." Mu Chen looked at the others discussing taking Jiang Xiu as a disciple, and couldn't help but look at his senior brother Zhenhua, wanting to see his expression.

But he found that Zhenhua was looking at Jiang Xiu in the arena, with a frown on his face and disbelief in his eyes.

"Hmm?" Mu Chen exclaimed softly. He rarely saw this kind of expression on his senior brother's face.

"No! He is going to break through the spiritual forging!" At this time, the crisp sound of a heavy hammer once again drew everyone's attention. Jiang Xiu, who had completed half a step of spiritual forging, did not stop, but continued to swing the golden hammer in his hand.

But this time, everyone's eyes changed and became burning.

"Mr. Mu, I feel that you are getting old. You cannot grasp such a genius. Let me do it." The person who had complimented him earlier swallowed slightly and said in a fiery tone.

A master under the age of sixteen definitely has the qualities of a master craftsman.

At this time, respecting the elderly and loving the young is unnecessary.

Seniority? It's just living longer.

The disputes among disciples have always been like this!

Chapter 118: Coming one after another, Grandmaster!

"So this is the surprise Xiaoxiu was talking about."

Zhenhua's eyes flickered as he whispered silently, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Maybe Xiao Xiu can really take that step for him...

"Brother, you should know what this means. Only blacksmiths above the Soul Sect level can attempt spiritual forging. He is only a Soul Master now. If he fails, he will suffer a spiritual backlash." Mu Chen was not as excited as the people around him. Instead, he looked at Zhenhua and spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, since Xiao Xiu dares to do this, he must be prepared." Zhenhua waved his hand. He knew Jiang Xiu's character very well and he never fought an unprepared battle.

"This..." Mu Chen hesitated to speak. In history, there has never been a Grandmaster below the Soul Sect. But in the end, he did not say anything and just turned his gaze to the arena.

If Jiang Xiu can really do it, he will break history again, and even in the future he will replace Zhenhua and become a monument in the world of blacksmiths.

At this moment, the heads of major families in the VIP seats also looked at each other with excitement.

If they could bring such a talented blacksmith into the family, their power would surely rise to a higher level.

From now on, Jiang Xiu's talent is definitely enough to make him a master craftsman.

The master craftsman can forge a four-character battle armor. Although there is only one character difference between a three-character battle armor and a four-character battle armor, their functions are vastly different. There are countless three-character battle armors in the world, and some soul masters cannot upgrade them to four characters even in their entire lives.

If a family has a master craftsman, it will be no problem for it to be glorious for an era.

"Rumble!"

At this time, Jiang Xiu's forging has reached a critical moment. With each hammering, the soul power in Jiang Xiu's body will enter the Earth Mother Youyin along with the Kanjin Hammer.

The Earth Mother Silver was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing, but as it absorbed, the spirituality that the Earth Mother Silver had previously produced became more and more joyful, emitting a light humming sound from time to time.

If half of the spiritual forging is to give the metal initial spirituality, then this spiritual forging is to allow the metal to completely preserve this spirituality.

"It really can absorb." Jiang Xiu sighed in his heart. Although he had a successful experience once, more than half of the soul power in his body was still consumed.

This is also why it is impossible for blacksmiths below the Soul Sect to break through the Soul Forging, because the soul power required to nourish this spirituality is too huge. Once the nourishment is cut off, the spirituality on the metal will disappear, and the metal will be completely scrapped.

However, Jiang Xiu was not worried, because in addition to his powerful soul power that far exceeded that of ordinary people, he also had...qi and blood!

"Long!"

Another hammer struck down, and feeling the soul power in his body about to be exhausted, Jiang Xiu's eyes suddenly changed, and a surge of blood and energy instantly rose up in his body, and the loud dragon roar also resounded in Jiang Xiu's heart.

And Mother Earth Youyin seemed to have sensed something, trembling with joy and emitting a faint glow, as if she was expecting something.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent roars sounded one after another. The Earth Mother Youyin, which was originally the size of a basketball, has now shrunk to the size of an egg, and the impurities inside have been completely removed.

Under the constant hammering of qi and blood, the entire piece of Mother Earth Silver began to grow golden lines in the shape of dragon clouds. The gorgeous lines hid mysteries. The entire piece of metal seemed to be breathing, trembling slightly, and the dense and heavy metal also emitted bursts of pleasant humming sounds.

At this time, most of the contestants in the competition venue had completed forging, and their eyes were all attracted by Jiang Xiu. Jiang Xiu's skilled forging skills were more like a perfect performance, deeply imprinted in their hearts.

Na'er looked at the shocked eyes of the people present and raised her head proudly. This was her boss, no doubt about it.

And in front of her, there was a piece of silver metal. Looking at it directly, it actually had a faint spirituality...

As time passed, the originally dark Earth Silver was now covered with golden dragon patterns, and the entire piece of metal became increasingly translucent. A hint of green light flickered faintly in the center of the metal, and that was the life of this piece of metal.

"It's coming!" Suddenly, Mu Lao on the judges' panel whispered, staring at Jiang Xiu with his cloudy eyes, and the others' breathing became rapid involuntarily.

The major families in the VIP seats are looking forward to it and have even started to get ready.

In the arena, Jiang Xiu looked at the Earth Mother Youyin in front of him, took a deep breath, gathered soul power in his right hand, and suddenly cut a cut in the palm of his left hand.

Bright red blood gushed out instantly, and each drop of blood was faintly golden. The surging blood and energy lingered around it, slowly dripping onto the Earth Mother's Silver.

"Stab! Stab!"

In an instant, her blood boiled and Mother Earth Youyin cheered even more excitedly.

But Jiang Xiu did not stop. His bloodshot eyes condensed, and he clenched the Kanjin Hammer in both hands. The two huge hammers smashed towards the Earth Mother Youyin at the same time.

"boom--"

In an instant, a golden flame shot up into the sky from the Earth Mother's Silver Body, rising more than five feet high. It was surrounded by swirling blood and energy, and a faint dragon roar was heard. In the golden flame, it seemed as if a golden dragon was wandering.

The dazzling golden light shone, and layers of waves filled with the breath of life spread out, giving people an indescribable strange feeling.

It was as if Mother Earth Youyin was no longer a piece of metal at this moment, but an independent living being, admiring its own existence and cheering for its own appearance.

"Hey! It's done!"

And in the next second, the entire arena was filled with exclamations of admiration, and all the master craftsmen on the judges' panel stood up one after another. Zhenhua, who was sitting in the center, was the first to stand up, with excitement in his eyes.

"President, didn't you say it was just a small matter? Why are you in such a hurry now?" Mu Lao looked at Zhenhua cautiously and brought out Zhenhua's previous remarks to prevent Zhenhua from competing with him for the person.

"Hahaha, my disciple has broken through the spiritual forging and become a grandmaster. How can I not be happy, hahaha..." Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Xiu on the field. He felt more and more pleased and was grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh, your disciple has achieved a spiritual breakthrough..." Mu Lao nodded at first, then was suddenly stunned, "What! Are you his master?"

Zhenhua glanced at him and nodded as a matter of course, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth.

"What a sin!" Mu Lao slapped his thigh hard. He was too late!

This disciple whom he had never met followed someone else.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Xiao Xiu is not yet sixteen years old. He just turned eleven this year."

Zhenhua looked at the envious and jealous expressions of the other Saint Craftsmen, coughed twice, and spoke slowly.

In an instant, the faces of these saint craftsmen fell silent, and they felt even more uncomfortable in their hearts.

And they all understood why Zhenhua made such a big fuss this time. It was obviously to show off to them.

However, what they didn't know was that Zhenhua didn't know that Jiang Xiu had already broken through the spiritual forging before.

"Ding!"

Just at this moment, a clear bell rang, and the two hours had arrived exactly.

"Now, all contestants, please put down your hammers and hand in the forged metal to the organizing committee for the unified judging by the judges."

The referee's voice sounded, and then more than ten staff members walked down the stage and collected the metal items of the contestants.

"Huh!" Jiang Xiu took a deep breath, took out a bottle of milk, and began to recover his soul power.

"Hey, friend," the blacksmith next to Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Xiu and asked, "Friend, can you sleep well tonight?"
