Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

“If you want to learn all four professions at the same time, I can indeed help you,” Zhang Tianyang said. “I am a mecha repairman. Just as you know, a mecha repairman needs to master the same level of knowledge as a mecha designer and a mecha manufacturer. It’s just that the level of advanced skills is slightly lower. Since you have reached the level of a level two mecha designer and a mecha manufacturer, you can also be considered a level two mecha repairman.”

Zhang Tianyang explained the mecha repairman to Su Ming in a straightforward manner.

This profession involves the sum of design and manufacturing processes, but it also has its easy aspects. It doesn't require in-depth study of the overall picture, meaning you don't need to design a complete set of battle armor with no flaws. Instead, you need to modify and repair existing blueprints. Even if the original blueprints may become unrecognizable over the years, almost like a complete overhaul, the initial template is always based on others' work. The same applies to manufacturing, which also leans towards later repairs and adjustments.

"As your teacher, I can teach you the theory of three professions at the same time."

This is very convenient, as Su Ming only needs to understand and explore the blacksmith on his own.

However, blacksmithing is not a profession where one can improve by working in isolation; having someone to teach one step by step is crucial. After pondering for a moment, Zhang Tianyang felt it was necessary to find a blacksmithing teacher for Su Ming.

Master craftsman Zhenhua?

Zhang Tianyang certainly wanted his apprentice to study under the best master, but the prerequisite was having connections.

He was not familiar with the master craftsman and had no prior dealings with him.

"I will try my best to find you the best teacher." Zhang Tianyang decided to try to contact some acquaintances to see if anyone could help him get in touch with Zhenhua.

"These days, you should focus on consolidating your skills in the thousand-fold forging process. You can try to explore the properties of more metals. I'll get in touch with them for you as soon as possible."

"it is good."

During the Dou Er period.

"Still no effect."

Su Ming put down the hammer, looked at the thousand-refined silver on the forging table in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

All three bodies have undergone rigorous training over the past year.

In Dou San, Su Ming was responsible for learning the most authoritative and cutting-edge techniques and experiences from later generations, while in Dou Yi, he was responsible for diligently accumulating the most experience. Then, Su Ming in Dou San also had to verify and consolidate his knowledge, while Su Ming in Dou Er was practically just picking up the scraps.

He had no choice; his soul power martial soul wasn't particularly suited to physical forging, so he could only begin forging the other two after he had mastered the Thousand Forging Technique.

"Rare metals are not the fundamental reason why life forms are born after being refined through a thousand processes."

Su Ming frowned.

In that case, he and his Dou Yi self can only gain experience. If he wants to truly break through in forging skills, he can only rely on his Dou San self, whether it's spirit forging, soul forging, or heaven forging.

"Is the law of the spirit insufficient?"

Su Ming recalled all the plot details he knew, and images flashed through his mind.

"The turning point is after who I am now."

Finally, he squinted and fixed the image on Tang Hao.

"Tang Hao, Lord of the Plane."

So, is the forging system actually Tang Hao's core? Is it through the development of the forging system that he consolidates his authority within the plane, that is, he digests the power of the plane's master?

Su Ming did not underestimate Tang Hao.

Tang Hao had certain aspirations in forging, believing that ordinary iron could be transformed into divine iron.

“During the first era, all iron was ordinary. Iron that could be forged to possess spirituality was actually divine iron. So his so-called transformation of ordinary iron into divine iron might be a pursuit of the spiritual aspect?”

Can he create a forging system on his own?

Su Ming didn't quite believe that.

The word "spirit" kept echoing in his mind.

"spirit"

What changes led to the dramatic shift in the laws related to spirits in the Douluo Continent?

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

The word "spirit" still echoed in his mind, but now it had an additional prefix.

"Soul!"

It's a soul!

Su Ming took a deep breath, feeling that he had found the truth.

"The laws of the spirit were fully perfected because of the creation of the soul, and then extended to the metal realm by soul masters who possess the aura of the spirit."

Whether it was true or not, he felt he had to verify it.

"The perfection of the laws of the spirit is not something that can be achieved overnight. It will also take a long time for the spirit to influence the metal realm. So, my current efforts to create a spirit may also require waiting."

时间

His vision slowly rose, and he seemed to hear the sound of rushing rivers all around him. In the darkness, he felt as if he were standing on an endless, winding river, and every drop of water around him was a world frozen in time. Countless images were washing over his soul.

Su Ming raised his head and looked at himself, which was located upstream of the long river.

At this moment, his heart was surging like the surrounding river.

Chapter 18 Changing History

There was no need to cause trouble or forcibly change history before, but now Su Ming has a need and wants to give it a try.

He was also very curious whether the effects of his three bodies, located at different times, would influence later points in time through the river of time.

It's hard to say whether he, in his first Douyi stage, could more easily complete the spirit forging and successfully create the Dou armor, but Su Ming, in his second Douyi stage, has a high probability of completing the spirit forging.

Currently, at the three points in time, the distribution of power and the pace of development of the three bodies are no different from those in the original story, and the three bodies seem to have no impact on this world.

Su Ming understood there were two possible reasons. One was that the nodes where his three bodies were located did not affect each other. The second was that he had just entered this world and had not yet formed a closed time loop. He leaned more towards the latter because, with the help of his first soul skill in Douluo Continent III, he could see his own position on the river of time, which was clearly only three, not countless versions of himself at countless nodes.

If you want to influence future generations, start now.

For example, if Su Ming from Douluo Continent I wanted to influence the plans for Douluo Continent II, he would have to make changes, such as hunting down the Titan Giant Ape and absorbing its spirit ring. In this way, Su Ming in Douluo Continent II would no longer be living in the legend of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python transforming into Tang San's spirit rings and being resurrected in the God Realm. History would be changed, and the Titan Giant Ape would have been killed by Su Ming ten thousand years ago and transformed into his spirit ring. However, if Su Ming from Douluo Continent I is only seven years old now and anticipates that he will definitely hunt down the Titan Giant Ape as long as he has the ability to do so in the future, then there will be no change in the Douluo Continent II period.

Even if he manages to become the disciple of three Title Douluo, one of whom is Qian Daoliu, who has a 100% chance of hunting the Titan Giant Ape, as long as he hasn't implemented it, it won't have any impact on future generations.

Su Ming from the second generation of Dou Di Zhuan handed over the task of changing history to his predecessor from the first generation, and then returned to normal cultivation.

Fight one.

Su Ming's lips twitched slightly.

"I'm only at the first level of the Soul Ring. It will take me at least a few years to fuse with a Soul Spirit. Besides, I need to learn more about Soul Spirits in Douluo Continent III."

time flies.

Twenty months have passed in the blink of an eye.

"I finally bought it."

Su Ming looked at the gelatinous substance in his hand, which emitted a strong fishy smell, with an excited expression.

Although whale glue wasn't as hard to buy or as expensive as it was in Dou Erzhong, it was still a prohibited item for children. He couldn't ask Zhu Jiuyang or Duan Jin for help, so he could only buy it secretly on his own.

"Such a large piece of millennium whale glue, one thousand gold soul coins, it's not too bad."

In later generations, this size of millennium whale glue would probably be worth twice as much. Most importantly, it would be priceless, and even if one could afford the price, there would be no way to buy it.

Even ordinary noblemen don't buy just one piece and consume it all. The piece Su Ming has is enough for a nobleman with a strong sex drive to use for three months, so one thousand gold soul coins is really not expensive.

The first ring involved absorbing several decades of energy ahead of his previous level, so the improvement to Su Ming's physical endurance wasn't particularly noticeable. During this time, he had been controlling the limits of his own body training. Although the limit for the second ring was definitely no longer seven hundred years, it would be at most nine hundred years. Breaking through the thousand-year barrier wasn't easy, so whale glue was indispensable.

"If taken directly, it should be able to break through the level 20 threshold as well."

After becoming a Soul Master, Su Ming's cultivation speed decreased from one level every two months to one level every two and a half months. A total of twenty months have passed since he made the decision to transform his Soul Spirit.

After obtaining the first ring, he directly broke through to level twelve. There was an eight-level difference between level twelve and level twentieth. Although at the rate of improvement of one level every two and a half months, twenty months would be just right, but there was a bottleneck at every level ten.

Even if someone has enough talent, they will always be hindered by this bottleneck for a period of time. In Su Ming's understanding, this bottleneck is because of the accumulation of the first level that will manifest after absorbing the soul ring later.

In other words, under normal circumstances, he would need to stay at level 19 for another two and a half months before he could break through to level 20.

Now that he has the whale gel, he no longer needs to hold back. When he consumes the whale gel, its energy will be integrated into the soul master's soul power, resulting in a certain increase in soul power.

Su Ming placed the whale glue in the stove to roast. Soon the fishy smell dissipated and was replaced by a light fragrance. After it cooled slightly, Su Ming took a bite. The soft and glutinous glue melted in his mouth.

He swallowed the large piece of whale glue in several more bites, then sat cross-legged and circulated his soul power to refine its medicinal properties.

The whale gelatin was quite effective. In just a short while, Su Ming felt as if a ball of evil fire was raging in his lower abdomen, which he could only try his best to suppress.

hiss~

His willpower was astonishing. He forcefully abandoned all distracting thoughts and focused solely on refining the medicinal power of the whale glue, repeatedly cleansing and purifying his meridians.

Three hours later.

Su Ming opened his eyes.

"As expected, he broke through."

Feeling the surging soul power within his body, Su Ming stood up, feeling as if he had inexhaustible strength.

He is now full of energy and vigor.

"One punch can take on ten!"

I did a set of boxing in the room and felt really good.

"After breaking through level 20, I prepared to absorb the millennium soul ring, which would allow me to try transforming my soul spirit and changing history. During the second period of the Dou Divine Interpretation, my grandfather also helped me by contacting the Body Sect, and I soon joined the Body Sect. During the third period of the Dou Divine Interpretation, my teacher Zhang Tianyang finally found a way to introduce me to the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua."

Good news came at all three points in time.

After taking a shower, Su Ming left the blacksmith shop.

"Find the teacher, Soul Hunter!"

He walked briskly, jogging to the end of the corridor on the fifth floor of the blacksmiths' association.

"Xiao Ming is here to study again?"

Si Long, who was guarding the gate of the high-rise building, saw Su Ming and greeted him with a smile.

Su Ming's talent had become widely known among the grandmasters, who all marveled at Zhu Jiuyang's incredible luck in finding such a promising blacksmith.

A seven-year-old blacksmith—this directly broke the blacksmiths' association record.

Of course, more than a year has passed, and there has been no further news of Su Ming becoming a master blacksmith.

This is normal; nobody thinks a genius has fallen.

If Su Mingzhen were to become a master blacksmith by this time, the Blacksmith Association would truly be in an uproar.

"It's Senior Silong again today."

Su Ming also bowed and said in surprise.

He recalled that during the past year or so, Si Long was always on duty every time he came to Zhu Jiuyang to study.

Maybe this is fate.

Zhu Jiuyang never expected that Su Ming would come to find him today.

"Xiao Ming? You don't have any classes scheduled for today, right?"

Su Ming said, "Yes, teacher, I'm not here to learn blacksmithing today."

"Oh? You're so busy every day, why aren't you learning blacksmithing today? What are you doing here with your teacher?" Zhu Jiuyang asked.

"Teacher, I've broken through to level 20."

"I knew it! You wouldn't come looking for your teacher unless you had something to do. Turns out you've broken through to level 20!" Zhu Jiuyang realized, frowning as he asked, "Didn't you break through to level 19 less than three months ago?"

Chapter 19 Evil Fire is Still Fire

It's good that the disciple broke through, but a breakthrough that goes against common sense is not necessarily a good thing. Zhu Jiuyang stared at Su Ming and asked him about the reason for his breakthrough.

Su Ming didn't hide anything, especially the role of whale glue. If he didn't explain it clearly, it would be difficult to achieve the second soul ring after a thousand years, or even the fourth soul ring after ten thousand years, since his soul rings all depended on Zhu Jiuyang.

"Teacher, I've taken whale gelatin."

"Whale glue? What do you need that for?" Zhu Jiuyang's face darkened.

Su Ming didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Whale glue contains abundant energy, which can temper the body and enhance the soul master's resistance to soul rings. In other words, it indirectly enhances the soul master's ability to withstand soul rings. I want to absorb a thousand-year soul ring when I get to the second ring."

"Are you sure?" Zhu Jiuyang indicated that he himself was unsure about this.

If it really has such an effect, whale gel will definitely become a hot commodity, right?

"Yes, this is a book I found by chance in the village. It seems to be a notebook from a soul master from the sea. It not only describes the function of whale glue, but also records some simple methods for making soul tools."
