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

Chapter 489 Spirit Forging Rain Hao
Generally speaking, even in later generations, blacksmiths who can forge spirit-forged metals have already come a long way on the path of forging. In cities that are not particularly large, they are undoubtedly honored guests.

After all, a blacksmith who can forge a piece of spirit-forged metal can already be called a level 5 blacksmithing master.

After all, spirit forging is the fusion of life and metal. It is a process of giving life to metal by using one's own martial soul as a bridge. Metal that has been forged a thousand times only has spirituality, not life. The improvement that spirit-forged metal brings to battle armor is self-evident.

Take the One-Word Battle Armor as an example. Although it can be made by forging every part with a thousand-fold forging, the compatibility between the One-Word Battle Armor and the Soul Master is not particularly high, and some problems may occur after wearing it.

Only a two-word battle armor with every component forged using full spirit forging can avoid the problems of a one-word battle armor. After all, only a two-word battle armor can be considered a true battle armor!

Huo Yuhao began to swing the pair of new forging hammers he had made during this period, striking the silver metal in front of him. With his movements, the hammers fell repeatedly, constantly striking the metal, clanging and clanging, the rhythmic sound constantly ringing out, like a grand symphony being played, Huo Yuhao himself was an entire orchestra.

Countless sparks flew everywhere, the faint light casting a reddish hue on his fair face.

The new forging hammer is forged from a metal with a thousand-fold forging spirit. As the saying goes, "A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools."

For a blacksmith, the importance of a forging hammer is self-evident.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao naturally replaced his forging hammer during this period.

Beside him, Kong Deming, Xuan Ziwen, and Jing Hongchen were all staring intently at Huo Yuhao. Because Huo Yuhao was preparing to take his forging skills to the next level, they naturally put aside their research on formations and came over to observe Huo Yuhao's forging.

Of course, there is no need to worry about the research on formations stopping. In fact, in order to gather wisdom from all sides, Kong Deming has already given Jing Hongchen an order, requiring the researchers inside Mingde Hall to also study formations and learn the forging methods provided by Huo Yuhao. Then, they should use the forged rare metals to make soul tools, combine them with the newly developed formations, and continuously test their compatibility in order to optimize the formations.

The researchers in Mingde Hall were not particularly strong.

However, their innovative capabilities are beyond doubt.

Many of the Sun Moon Empire's advanced soul tools were developed by this group of highly innovative researchers, especially the chief researcher Xuan Ziwen, whose innovative abilities were outstanding even among researchers.

As for the Soul Masters of Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, well, their innovation ability in Soul Tools is close to zero. Basically, when Sun Moon Academy releases a new Soul Tool, Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy will try their best to research it and then attempt to create a barely usable knock-off version.

“I don’t know if Yuhao can succeed. Since ancient times, any breakthrough in the field of technology has been extremely difficult, especially as you go further. Although Yuhao’s skill in forging is currently better than mine, I still think that it is too difficult for him to make another breakthrough in forging. Ziwen, do you think Yuhao can make another breakthrough in forging today?” Jing Hongchen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing Jing Hongchen's words, Xuan Ziwen was now full of confidence: "With Yuhao's talent and his experience of creating miracles time and time again, I believe he can make another breakthrough in forging!"

After today, Mingde Hall should have brand new forging metals. Hall Master, you simply don't understand what the world of geniuses is like!

Jing Hongchen's face darkened, feeling that Xuan Ziwen was scolding him. To be honest, if we only talk about the innovation of soul tools, he was indeed inferior to Xuan Ziwen. In this respect, Xuan Ziwen was indeed more talented than him.

Although the Red Dust Protection is a rare, trigger-type level nine defensive soul tool that doesn't restrict the user's cultivation level, it wasn't his original creation. Many years ago, predecessors had already created similar soul tools; he was simply learning from them. While his status as a close disciple of Elder Kong was somewhat related to his appointment as chief researcher, the most important factor was Xuan Ziwen's pure passion for soul tools and his strong research and innovation capabilities.

If the chief researcher, Xuan Ziwen, is just a mediocre person with connections, the other researchers would not be able to be truly convinced of his abilities.

Kong Deming noticed the conversation between Xuan Ziwen and Jing Hongchen, but he did not participate in the discussion. His gaze was completely focused on Huo Yuhao, watching Huo Yuhao's every move during the forging process.

Bang, bang, bang!

Huo Yuhao swung the forging hammer faster and faster. Suddenly, the Guardian Blade of Life in his Sea of ​​Spirit trembled slightly, and a green light full of life energy flew out from the center of Huo Yuhao's forehead and landed directly on the silver metal in front of him.

Almost instantly, the silver metal was covered by green light, then trembled a few times and shrank into a spherical shape. The silver metal, with its vibrant life force, also emanated from the spherical metal.

A five-foot-long beam of green light rose directly from the spherical metal.

Huo Yuhao's face, illuminated by the green light, also appeared green, possessing a kind of unsettling "beauty." However, a look of joy appeared on his face. The reason was simple: he was not far from successfully completing his spirit forging.

"A thousand forgings bring out the spirit" means that the metal's spirituality must be brought out through the method of a thousand forgings.

Spirit forging, on the other hand, imbues metal with life.

This bright green light undoubtedly signifies a phenomenon—the formation of a spirit.

It is important to understand that once the phenomenon of spiritual formation occurs during the forging process, it means that the life force of the metal has been raised to a state of awakening. If the forging continues, the spiritual forging will inevitably be successful.

So he continued to swing the forging hammer in his hand, hammering the metal in front of him. He kept pouring in soul power and urging the Blade of Life to continuously pour in green light. Because the Blade of Life was closely connected with Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao's whole body was also full of life, he was considered to be connected to the Blade of Life by blood. His blood even had the effect of healing other people's injuries.

Therefore, the life force has now become one of Huo Yuhao's bloodline auras.

With each continuous hammer blow, he even felt that the metal in front of him was alive, and that his hammering was helping this life to be born.

Gradually, the sound of him hammering the metal grew heavier and heavier, and the metal sphere in front of him suddenly emitted a whimpering sound. The next moment, it burst out with a dazzling green light, and the aura of life once again permeated the entire laboratory, filling it with a rich aura of life.

The metal sphere flew up on its own and came to Huo Yuhao's side, nuzzling against his right hand as if it were being affectionate.

At this point, the spirit forging was complete.
