Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

If you only cultivate soul power and don't learn any secondary professions, you'll at most reach the Soul Saint level by the age of twenty. If you learn a secondary profession, once your soul power reaches the Soul King level and you simultaneously create a One-Word Battle Armor, you can also possess the strength of a Soul Saint.

What next?

Is it easier to advance from Soul Saint to Soul Douluo, or to advance from Soul King to Soul Emperor, while also crafting a two-word battle armor?

The same principle applies going forward.

As for starting to cultivate a secondary profession from the Soul Saint level, this would disrupt the planned rhythm of one's life. Most Soul Masters cannot accept wasting energy on cultivating a secondary profession when their cultivation speed has already been greatly reduced. The torment of that would wear down their enthusiasm for the secondary profession, thus leading to nothing being accomplished.

Kindness is ultimately rare; otherwise, it wouldn't have become a legend.

It can only be said that different systems are compatible, but it is also necessary to find the right balance and modify the corresponding system at the appropriate stage in order to go far.

Since his body is not yet fully developed and his soul power is not high, Su Ming naturally needs to focus on cultivating his soul power.

"This is a shop that your teacher applied for for you. The location is quite remote, but with you as the blacksmith, there won't be a lack of business. For the next few years, you just need to run the shop yourself, and do your job when there is business. Then you can focus on cultivating your soul power."

Su Ming took the business license, never expecting that cultivating under his teacher's tutelage would be so close to real life.

Wow, opening a shop and refining it yourself means you can come back to your teacher for guidance and learn from their experience whenever you encounter difficulties.

"Senior brother, I still have to go to school," Su Ming reminded Duan Jin.

Duan Jin said, "Don't worry, I've enrolled you in the Advanced Soul Master Academy. It's the only Advanced Soul Master Academy in Gengxin City, called Shen Tie Academy."

Shen Tie Academy?

Su Ming said he had no recollection of it.

"The Divine Iron Academy mainly consists of internal weapon martial spirits. It was built with funds from the Blacksmith Association. The best career path after graduation is to join the Blacksmith Association and become a high-level blacksmith. Therefore, it is somewhat difficult to recruit students and there are not many geniuses."

Su Ming understood.

There weren't many geniuses, so there wasn't much fame.

Xiaoming Forging Shop.

A middle-aged man, accompanied by two henchmen, walked into the rather deserted little shop.

Compared to the sweltering heat outside, the stoves inside the small shop weren't even fully turned on, making it surprisingly cool.

"is the boss around?"

The man asked the child who was lying on the recliner with his eyes closed in meditation.

Su Ming opened his eyes and said, "I am the boss."

"Stop joking, I have a large number of orders to place." The man frowned.

"I am the boss, I am the blacksmith." As he spoke, Su Ming produced a paper certificate in his hand.

The man took the certificate, glanced at it, and confirmed that it was indeed the child's certificate.

The certificate is valid; it was issued by the Blacksmiths' Association, and it states that the blacksmith with the skills of a master blacksmith is named Su Ming, and is only seven years old.

"You're so small, can you even swing a hammer?" the man couldn't help but ask.

Su Ming rolled his eyes and didn't answer.

I've given you all the proof, and you still doubt whether I can lift a hammer?

I'll punch you on the head!

The man knew he had asked a pointless question, but he was genuinely surprised.

However, he was also a worldly person, and he quickly compared his worldly experience with Su Ming's situation, accepting the fact that Su Ming could become a blacksmith at such a young age.

As long as one is a Soul Master, their Martial Soul excels in strength, they are willing to put in the effort, and they have forging talent, it is still possible.

"I have an order here, it's a pretty big one, can you take a look?"

The man handed Su Ming a very long form.

The list contains all the parts that are needed.

Su Ming glanced at it and hesitated before asking, "You must have hundreds of sets of armor here, right?"

The man said, "Don't worry about that. It's only for the support-type Soul Masters of the sect."

Su Ming glanced at the man with a suspicious look.

Why would a support-type Soul Master wear such exquisite armor?

"Can you build it?" the man asked.

"Don't worry about that. I'm a blacksmith. If these skilled blacksmiths can do it, of course I can do it too."

"Although the Blacksmith Association's certificate is very credible, I still need to verify it. Here's what we'll do: you forge me a set of armor first, and I'll come back in three days to inspect it. I'll pay you 500 gold soul coins for this set. If it's up to standard, the rest of the orders will be yours to complete. A total of 100 sets, and I'll give you 30,000 gold soul coins."

One hundred sets, 30,000 Gold Soul Coins?

It would be much easier to mass-produce them, so for 100 sets, each set would be priced at 300 gold soul coins.

Su Ming estimated that the requirements for the parts on the blueprints were reasonable, and the price offered by the man was even slightly higher than the market price.

"Sure, three days should be enough." Su Ming suddenly remembered something and asked, "How long will it take to complete this order?"

"Three months."

"Forget it then. I'm the only blacksmith here. Three days is the limit for one set. It will take at least three hundred days, or ten months, to finish forging it." Su Ming shrugged.

The man stared at Su Ming, sizing him up and down, and thought that what he said made sense.

"Use your best skills to make it first. If the quality is acceptable, everything else is negotiable."

Su Ming was surprised that the other party still insisted.

"Row."

As they left Xiao Ming's blacksmith shop, the two henchmen behind the man asked in confusion, "Sir, this batch of armor is meant to be distributed to the disciples of the sect. Are we really going to wait for him to slowly forge it?"

“Only about twenty people need the armor. The rest are just reserves. Giving him time to forge it won’t hurt,” the steward said. “This child is already a blacksmith at such a young age. He may not become a master blacksmith in ten months, but three years is enough. We can place some orders with him occasionally during these three years. After he becomes a master blacksmith, we can continue to cooperate.”

Once a blacksmith becomes a master blacksmith, it's a highly skilled job. Even if the profession itself isn't prestigious, the job is still very competitive.

Ordinary blacksmiths are looked down upon, but that's only true in the world of Soul Masters.

Even high-level blacksmiths can be looked down upon, but that's because they're looked down upon by high-level soul masters.

A blacksmith is no less powerful than a Soul Master of level 10 or 12; a master blacksmith is even more powerful, comparable to a Soul Master, because the products made by a master blacksmith are more or less compatible with Soul Power, and their effects far exceed those of ordinary tools. Moreover, they can use this skill to repair the damaged Soul Tools unearthed from ruins.

Chapter 15: Practice more food

Xiao Ming Blacksmith Shop.

Su Ming looked at the batch of black iron left behind by the man with a hint of surprise.

"It will indeed take some effort to fuse these black iron pieces in as well."

He thought for a moment and then began to measure the metal proportions.

A qualified blacksmith must be able to properly combine the proportions of metals in order to forge the most suitable alloy.

He turned the furnace to its maximum efficiency, the raging flames burning intensely, the terrifying heat scorching his body and turning it a deep red.

He threw the black iron onto the forging table above, and it turned red-hot in a short time, with the black impurities inside clearly visible.

Su Ming's original martial soul possessed him, his first soul ring shone, and his body began to grow larger, transforming into a Vajra body.

He swung the iron hammer, striking the black iron repeatedly.

Then, he took out a piece of iron essence and fused it together with the black iron.

During this process, his Vajra body was bathed in a bright red light, as if it were also being scorched by the flames and undergoing repeated baptisms of internal soul power.

The pain in the body is reflected in the martial soul, and similarly, the restorative effect of the martial soul through the tempering of soul power is also transferred to the body.

The enhancement of the physical body then affects the strength of the martial soul, which in turn can start a new cycle.

This process repeats itself, creating the possibility of infinite growth for the main body's martial soul, regardless of the main body's limits.

"Vajra body!"

Under normal circumstances, there is an upper limit to the body's potential, especially since Su Ming's body is not yet fully developed.

He is actually afraid to excessively reflect the state of the Vajra Body onto his true self, for fear of affecting his development.

Only in low-intensity forging will he cancel the Vajra Body and forge his body in the most normal form of martial soul. In high-intensity forging, he will only take the first half of the cycle and only temper the Vajra Body, which is considered as developing this soul skill.

First, raise the Vajra Body.

Once the main body has fully developed, the Vajra Body will be digested and gradually integrated into the main body, becoming the main body's normal power.

The Dou San period.

"That's it!"

Su Ming borrowed the power of his original martial soul from 20,000 years ago.

Instead of transforming into a Vajra body, he used his current state to cultivate the latter half of the operation that Su Ming had not performed in the past.

He felt his body being constantly refined, his cells greedily absorbing the energy accumulated within him, and his soul seemed to be purified, immersed in the cradle, enjoying the nurturing from his body.

The soul is the essential characteristic of a living being.

Even if you lose your body, you can still possess another body if your soul remains.

But the soul is ultimately rooted in the body, relying on the body to nourish the spirit.

Su Ming's entire body is now in a state of extreme comfort, which has also nourished his soul, allowing it to grow stronger. Converted to mental strength, that means he's gained a full five points today!

"Five hours a day, that adds up to at least 1,500 a year," Su Ming remarked.

Of course, he was joking.

First, his body has its limits, and he can't overtrain too early. He doesn't want to become a big guy like Aruheng. Second, there's the wear and tear. His physical tempering and mental enhancement are all obtained by exchanging contribution points. He eats high-grade ingredients every day to accumulate a lot of energy in his body. Today, he also had a meal of rare and precious ingredients to nourish his body.

Such improvements cannot be made every day.

Once a month is the limit.

Even so, there is still a 60-point increase in mental strength over a year. With the mental strength accumulated and honed over time, the annual increase reaches three digits, which is terrifying.

The speed of improvement in mental strength increases with the level of cultivation. At this stage, having just awakened his martial soul, his mental strength has increased by three digits in a year, which is nothing short of abnormal.

Moreover, not only is his mental strength improving, but his physical fitness is also far superior to that of his peers, and his soul power growth is not lagging behind, making him a complete and utterly dominant force.

"That's not exaggerated enough. After all, I only enjoyed the benefits of the original martial soul. Even Aruheng, who cultivated the original martial soul to its extreme, is not as good as Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline."

Just practice cooking more.

and so--

"You need to practice more."

If it were when he had just awakened his martial soul, Su Ming wouldn't have been so motivated and had such conviction, but after his first soul skill drew upon the power of two versions of himself, he finally gained confidence.

The bonuses from the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill are too high.

If a martial soul can feed its power back to its body, why can't a martial soul fusion skill do the same?

"I am not borrowing the power of just anyone in the river of time, but my own power, which is perfectly suited to me. In other words, my Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill is a self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"By fusing my physical martial soul and my soul power martial soul, I can absorb all the enhancements from the three-in-one martial soul fusion skill into myself, which in turn will enhance the three-in-one martial soul fusion skill, and then transform it into my own power, in a continuous cycle."

This path of continuous positive feedback and growth captivated Su Ming.

He turned off the instrument used to test mental strength.

On the screen displaying mental strength values, the number 200 gradually disappeared.

As times have progressed, cultivation in the Soul Master world has become more and more comprehensive. From the primitive era of the first era of Dou Yi, where people relied entirely on their Martial Soul aptitude and groped in the dark, they began to explore the absorption of Soul Rings beyond their level and gradually began to explore the physical realm. Among them, the Body Martial Soul, which is uniquely endowed, stood out, and the Body Sect, composed of Body Martial Souls, became incredibly popular for a time.

Later, with the creation of the Soul Spirit System by Lingbing Douluo and the construction of the Spirit Transmission Tower, Soul Masters entered the Soul Spirit Era and began to explore the realm of spiritual power in order to fuse with more and higher-age Soul Spirits.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly.

Because the soul is simply too perfect.

A single spirit grants all Soul Masters a spiritual attribute!

Even for non-spiritual attribute martial souls, the process of a soul master fusing with a soul spirit is a stimulus to their own spiritual realm. Soul spirits that can reside in the sea of ​​spirit are naturally the best tools for soul masters to develop their spiritual realm.

This is Su Ming's summary of the development of Douluo Continent over the past 20,000 years.

The soul is the key to exploring the spiritual realm!
