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

Chapter 490 Kong Deming's Excitement

"Elder Kong, Dean, Teacher Xuan, my forging skills have successfully broken through." Huo Yuhao turned his head and looked at the three people behind him.

The three of them immediately stepped forward, looking excitedly at the metal sphere that was constantly rubbing against Huo Yuhao. Xuan Ziwen couldn't contain his curiosity and reached out to try to touch the metal sphere.

However, the metal sphere was connected to Huo Yuhao's bloodline and was extremely dependent on him. Naturally, it was somewhat resistant to the unfamiliar Xuan Ziwen. It directly avoided Xuan Ziwen's touch, hid on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and then continued to happily rub against Huo Yuhao's neck.

Huo Yuhao felt a little itchy and subconsciously grabbed the metal ball, which did not resist at all.

Seeing this, Xuan Ziwen wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he looked delighted: "Yuhao, this is no ordinary metal. It's so lively, like a little life. I really want to touch it. Can you ask it if I can touch it, just once!"

As a passionate researcher of soul tools, Xuan Ziwen felt that this metal, which resembled a small life form, would definitely become an excellent material. It would also be excellent for making humanoid soul tools.

As for Huo Yuhao's Blade of Life Guardian, according to Huo Yuhao, that thing was essentially forged from a metal called Life Gold.

Although Xuan Ziwen also felt that it was a very novel metal, it belonged to Huo Yuhao. As Huo Yuhao's teacher, he had no desire to covet his student's possessions. However, he still felt regretful. This kind of metal, which possessed vitality and exuded the aura of life, was extremely rare. To this day, the professionals who explored mineral resources in the Sun Moon Empire had not discovered any new living metal.

Huo Yuhao said helplessly, "Teacher Xuan, it just has vitality and the instinct to be close to the blacksmith, but that doesn't mean it has a very high intelligence. I can't talk to it at all. However, if you want to touch it, I can help you."

As he spoke, he grabbed the metal ball and handed it to Xuan Ziwen. To prevent the metal ball from resisting, Huo Yuhao did not completely loosen his grip, but instead moved his fingers down to give Xuan Ziwen space to grab the metal ball.

Xuan Ziwen grabbed the metal sphere and rubbed it repeatedly, the smooth and warm touch transmitting from his palm to his brain.

"So this is what it feels like." Xuan Ziwen sighed. Although he touched the metal sphere, he could feel it vibrating, as if it was resisting him.

At this moment, Xuan Ziwen, having thoroughly enjoyed his hand, withdrew it and looked at Huo Yuhao with burning eyes, saying, "Yuhao, could you give us a brief introduction to the effects of this metal? Although we can sense the immense life force contained within it, we don't understand much about it."

At this moment, Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen's gazes were also focused on Huo Yuhao. They were looking forward to Huo Yuhao giving an answer. Huo Yuhao cleared his throat and said, "This metal is spirit-forged metal. The so-called spirit forging is to give the metal life force, so that it can become one with the forger."

"To merge into one?" Xuan Ziwen's face showed a look of doubt, not quite understanding Huo Yuhao's words. Even Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming were completely confused at this moment, not understanding what Huo Yuhao meant by "to merge into one".

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and began to patiently explain: "The so-called fusion is exactly what it sounds like. In a moment, I will integrate this piece of spirit-forged metal into my forging hammers, so that these forging hammers, which are at the level of Thousand Forging with Spirit, will be upgraded to the level of Spirit Forging. At that time, I will be able to store these forging hammers in my body and summon them at any time."

Moreover, some creations based on spirit-forged metal can even strengthen martial souls and merge with them. Huo Yuhao's words struck Xuan Ziwen, Jing Hongchen, and Kong Deming like a bolt from the blue. At the same time, their eyes widened instantly, and their faces showed shock.

They believed Huo Yuhao's words without a doubt. After all, Huo Yuhao had created numerous miracles and made countless contributions to the Sun Moon Empire. Therefore, Huo Yuhao's words must be true.

Xuan Ziwen exclaimed, "Yuhao, the Spirit Forging Metal is so amazing! Its appearance will surely accelerate the development of Soul Tools, and the Sun Moon Empire will become even stronger as a result."

At this moment, Jing Hongchen was having some doubts about life. He began to seriously consider what Xuan Ziwen had said earlier about not understanding the world of geniuses. Now it seemed that what Xuan Ziwen said was not wrong at all. He had only considered the difficulty of technological breakthroughs and ignored Huo Yuhao's outstanding talent in forging and soul tools. For geniuses, aren't difficult problems meant to be solved quickly?
Kong Deming looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration. The more he looked at his grand-disciple, the more satisfied he felt. He felt that his student Xuan Ziwen's greatest achievement so far was taking on such a good student as Huo Yuhao.

Even though Kong Deming was used to seeing all kinds of storms, he could not suppress his excitement at this moment.

After all, spirit-forged metal is incredibly powerful, and forging has one advantage: it can be mass-produced.

If spirit-forged metal were applied to the creation of soul tools, it would definitely be possible to create soul tools that are stronger than they are now. Moreover, a large number of soul masters would also benefit from this, and their combat power would be greatly enhanced.

Even his own Silver Moon Divine Light Shield could be reforged and enhanced with spirit-forged metal to increase its power, potentially allowing him to reach a higher level of strength!

Looking at the three people's reactions, Huo Yuhao could completely understand their shock at the spirit-forged metal.

After all, the forging technique comes from the legend of the Dragon King. Using the forging technique of Dou San in Dou Er is undoubtedly a unique form of dimensional reduction attack. No one can withstand the technological crushing across ten thousand years.

Huo Yuhao said, "Next, I will teach everyone how to forge spirit-forged metal and compile a textbook to explain in as much detail as possible the forging techniques I have mastered so far. After all, the improvement from thousand-forging to spirit-forging is too great. If we can train one more soul master who has mastered the spirit-forging technique, it will also benefit the development of soul tools."

In fact, the researchers of Mingde Hall and some of the soul masters of the Spirit Pagoda had already gradually mastered the forging technique. However, because the Hundred Forging and Thousand Forging were relatively simple, Huo Yuhao did not compile teaching materials. Instead, he taught the forging technique to some people and had them pass on the forging technique in his own name.

But spirit forging is different; it's much more difficult than hundred-forging and thousand-forging. Huo Yuhao wanted to help others learn forging as much as possible. His purpose in doing so was simple: to collect faith power.

"Oh?" Jing Hongchen's eyes lit up. "Yuhao, have you decided what to name this textbook?"
