Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 24 Special Characteristics Feedback, A Thousand Refinements for a First-Class Grade (Please continue reading!!!)

"What kind of special effect is this?"

Zhenhua was puzzled, but did not speak up at this moment, instead pondering alone.

He continued to observe Su Ming's forging and discovered that although Su Ming used a two-handed hammer, the frequency of swinging the forging hammer with both hands was not high, because each hammer blow had a hammering effect that lasted for three seconds.

The more times he observed, the more certain he became of his feelings.

"Delay!"

"No! 'Delay' might not be accurate; it could be 'extension,' meaning an extension of the duration of action."

"It's a characteristic of the time domain!"

Zhenhua was shocked; he had never heard of such a characteristic before.

Moreover, the force of swinging a forging hammer acts on the metal instantaneously.

In other words, he only needs to swing the forging hammer once, and what was originally an instantaneous impact becomes a three-second impact composed of countless instants superimposed.

Su Ming's forging continues.

This was his first attempt at forging Star Soul Iron, but aside from the first few hammer blows, he became increasingly satisfied with the process.

Zhenhua also noticed this and was surprised.

Based on his performance so far, Su Ming's skills have already won him over.

It is truly remarkable that a boy under nine years old possesses this level of forging skill.

Su Ming swung his hammer a total of twenty times. The Star Soul Iron had shrunk in size, and the impurities inside had been released. The remaining Star Soul Iron was as deep as the starry sky, with occasional flashes of starlight mixed with firelight, making it incredibly dazzling.

Success achieved through countless trials!

Su Ming continued.

Seeing this, Zhenhua knew he might have struck gold.

At nine years old, being able to complete a hundred forgings is already remarkable, making him a top genius in the forging world. After completing a hundred forgings, he still dared to continue. Even if he hadn't mastered a thousand forgings, he had already overcome the psychological barrier to reaching a thousand forgings, which can be considered a big step forward.

Su Ming shouted, and two purple soul rings appeared around his body.

As the first spirit ring flashed, his power instantly became stronger, and he inexplicably gained a sense of oppression. His power became stronger, and even his spirit power became more refined.

Makino's gaze toward Su Ming became strange.

It feels right!

Now, Su Ming finally gave him the right feeling.

when!
when!
After another twenty hammer blows, the firelight shining through the Star Soul Iron no longer shone red, but only shone with brilliant starlight.

It can be seen that the starlight released by the Star Soul Iron resonates with the flames spewed from the forging table, making the flames more and more powerful. At the same time, Su Ming's hammer is falling heavier and heavier.

Dang Dang Dang!
Su Ming's forging hammer became extremely fast. His forging hammer stayed on the Star Soul Iron for less than three seconds. However, the force applied to the Star Soul Iron continued to take effect, but the impact seemed to weaken as the hammer left.

Zhenhua admitted that "top-notch" was not enough to describe the special effects.

Of course, it's also difficult to make good use of this special effect. One hammer blow can even have the same effect as the previous two blows, which tests the blacksmith's ability to plan the forging process.

Before each swing of the hammer, anticipate three more.

What makes Zhenhua quite gratified is that he has not yet perfectly mastered the superb special effects of Su Ming's forging hammer.

The final high-frequency hammer blows were not perfectly coordinated; they were merely a way to reduce the strain on his strength by gradually increasing the force.

Su Ming still relies on the initial impact of each hammer strike to achieve the main effect; the remaining delayed impacts are secondary effects.

This inevitably leads to flaws.

However, its merits outweigh its flaws.

As it was forged, the starlight contained within the Star Soul Iron under Su Ming's hammer became increasingly dense, even showing signs of bursting forth.

Seeing this, Zhenhua finally realized what was going on. Could this kid actually succeed in the Thousand Forging technique?
On the first attempt to forge Star Soul Iron, it was successfully forged a thousand times?
His gaze sharpened slightly as he observed the changes in the Star Soul Iron, sensing that this was no ordinary thousand-times-forged iron.

A thousand forgings, yet only one grade?
The Star Soul Iron burst forth with dazzling starlight, as if it would explode at any moment, forming a pillar of light and completing its thousand-times-forged transformation. However, Su Ming smashed it back again and again with his hammer, telling him not to rush the transformation, as there was still a better possibility.

Su Ming was also excited at this moment.

He has never completed the first grade of the Thousand Refinements. Although his skills are sufficient, his strength is insufficient to support him to continue. The first grade of the Thousand Refinements is usually only attempted by Soul Masters.

With the help of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, Tang Wulin was close to the first grade of the thousand-refinement level when he was in the first ring, but he could not break through. He could only make up for his lack of soul power when he was in the second ring.

On Su Ming's side, although he was able to leverage external forces to solve his physical fitness issues and his soul power had reached the second ring, he still lacked strength and would always be exhausted at this point.

This time, he saw an opportunity.

Although his soul power was still insufficient and his strength was beginning to deplete, the Star Soul Iron began to resonate with him.

Even though the forging was not yet complete, the Star Soul Iron had already resonated with him, amplifying his spiritual power. The starlight nurtured within the Star Soul Iron even flowed through the forging hammer and into his body, nourishing his soul power!
"This means that its unique characteristics have been developed ahead of schedule?" Zhenhua exclaimed in surprise.

Before the transformation was complete, spirituality was conceived prematurely.

This is a result that can only be achieved when the blacksmith and the metal resonate deeply.

Moreover, the Star Soul Iron has a unique property of feeding back soul power!

Su Ming's expression grew increasingly excited.

His first spirit ring shone even brighter.

Su Ming from Dou Yi, Su Ming from Dou Er, lend me all your power!!!

He fully integrated the power of his two past martial souls into his own, revealing the perfect form of the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Relying on the soul power fed back by the Star Soul Iron, he swung the final hammer.

when!
The hammer fell, and starlight rose.

The dazzling beam of light broke free of its restraints and rose more than a foot high.

Thousands of forgings, first grade!
The forging hammer in Su Ming's hand disappeared.

At this moment, the Star Soul Iron on the forging table cheered and leaped with joy, its pulsating spirit like a brand new life.

Mu Ye immediately stepped forward, supported Su Ming, and handed him a lotus seed with a smile.

"Eat the lotus seeds from the century-old Tianxin Lotus; they're good for strengthening your body and nourishing your vital energy."

As he supported Su Ming, he sensed Su Ming's physical condition, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Strange, something feels off again.

I just clearly sensed the aura of the original martial soul.

"Yes, very good!"

Zhenhua was even more excited at this moment, spinning around in place.

"Hurry up and go find a master." Seeing that Su Ming's condition had improved a lot, Mu Ye gestured for him to check on Zhen Hua's condition.

Su Ming stepped forward, respectfully performed the apprenticeship ceremony, and said, "Greetings, teacher."

Zhenhua helped Su Ming up, his face beaming with smiles.

Zhang Tianyang watched this scene with a sigh of relief, even though he had expected it.

Strength can break all constraints.

Su Ming's talent in forging is truly extraordinary. He was already a thousand-times-forged expert before he was even nine years old, and this time he broke through on the spot and completed the first grade of the thousand-times-forged technique!
Of course, his talent wasn't limited to forging; he was equally skilled in other secondary professions, with level three expertise in mecha design and manufacturing, and level three in mecha repair as well.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, Makino, who had been puzzled for a long time, asked directly.

"Su Ming, is your original martial soul?"
