Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 28 Spiritual Grafting (Please continue reading!!!)

"Ouch!" (That hurts!)
Xiao Jin's roar failed to interrupt Su Ming's forging.

"It will hurt a little at first, but you'll get used to it."

Su Ming comforted him, and at the same time slammed the forging hammer down hard, using his soul power to force Xiao Jin's power into the metal through the forging hammer.

He has a very deep understanding of forging and is able to interact with metals at a profound level.

Since there was no spirit inside the metal, he smashed in an external spirit!
This was his idea, and also the way he planned to solve the problem of not being able to refine spirits when fighting against one or two opponents.

Since the laws governing different planes are not yet fully developed, we will use a grafting method.

If metal itself has no spirit, then graft it into the metal and transform it yourself.

"It's just that other blacksmiths without souls can't become blacksmiths, but that doesn't affect me. As long as I can become a blacksmith in the spirit forging system, that's fine."

"Ouch!" (It hurts!)

"Be good, don't move around, I'll be as gentle as possible."

"Ouch!" (It still hurts!)

"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."

Su Ming slammed the hammer down on the metal.

Dou San is already on his quest for knowledge. Taking advantage of his recent apprenticeship, he asked Zhen Hua about the origins of blacksmiths and why there was no blacksmith system in the past.

Zhenhua truly deserves to be called a master craftsman.

Heavenly Forging involves the realm of laws, and through repeated Heavenly Forging, he has gained an understanding of the essence of how forging can develop.

"The laws of the Douluo Continent inherently possess a special ability to nurture. All things have spirits and the potential to become soul beasts. However, 20,000 years ago, these laws were still very primitive. With the development over the next 20,000 years, especially after Lingbing Douluo created the soul spirit system 10,000 years ago, the influence of soul masters propelled the laws of spirits, making them more perfect and spreading to more fields. Among them, the biggest beneficiaries were us blacksmiths, because the development of soul tools had reached a bottleneck at that time, and the demand for materials became increasingly urgent, which led to the emergence of the forging system. Many other fields also benefited from this process, such as artificial soul spirits, which also reaped some of the benefits of the times."

Su Ming from Dou San asked again: Was it possible to achieve spirit forging 20,000 years ago?

"It's possible. All things have spirits, and the laws have always existed, only to varying degrees. Even without blacksmiths, there are rock and metal-type soul beasts in nature. Before they transform into soul beasts, their original forms are favored by the laws of the spirit and can be used for spirit forging."

Is there a universal method? Can it be done by grafting the spirit of another life?
"Haha, how is that possible? Unless someone possessed a soul 20,000 years ago, there might be a sliver of hope. Otherwise, how could the spirit of a living being be so easily grafted onto metal?"

Can the spirit of a soul truly be grafted?
"Of course, the blacksmith originally developed the spirit forging system in conjunction with his own soul."

"."

With Su Ming from the third stage of the Dou family acting as a middleman, Su Ming from the first stage of the Dou family forged while receiving guidance from a divine craftsman from ten thousand years in the future.

"Wow~" (It feels different now~)

Su Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

Xiao Jin's reaction undoubtedly tells Su Ming that his spirit is already adapting to the metal.

He continued swinging the hammer.

boom!
boom!
With each swing of the hammer, Xiao Jin's roars grew lighter and lighter, even developing a sense of pleasure towards the end.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" (So satisfying!)
Su Ming understood the meaning from the mental fluctuations emanating from Xiao Jin, knowing that Xiao Jin was now experiencing the feeling of his soul being nurtured.

His spirit has merged into the metal, and as the spirit of the metal, it is being forged by Su Ming and guided to become stronger!

Soon, Su Ming himself also sensed the spirituality within the metal.

This spirituality is different from Xiao Jin's. It was initially covered by Xiao Jin's spirituality, but then it slowly grew and became more obvious.

"Xiao Jin, you can withdraw now."

Xiao Jin reluctantly reclaimed all of her spirituality.

Without Xiao Jin's interference, Su Ming's forging went very smoothly. He had rich forging experience, solved the problem of spirit, and everything else fell into place naturally.

A beam of light, a foot high, burst forth inside Xiao Ming's blacksmith shop.

Su Ming took a deep breath, took out a dagger, and cut a gash in his left hand. The blood splattered onto the Thousand-Refined Silver and quickly seeped into it.

The red light subsided, and when Su Ming sensed the silvery substance in front of him again, he could clearly feel an additional connection between himself and it.

"I just don't know what the properties of this piece of sunken silver are."

"Roar!" (Mine!)
At this moment, Xiao Jin called out to Su Ming, indicating that the piece of metal belonged to him.

Su Ming was taken aback.

He looked at Xiao Jin, thinking that he wouldn't ask for the sunken silver for no reason.

"Roar." (This metal suits me perfectly.)
Su Ming laughed and said, "Since you want it, then I'll give it to you. By the way, I'm quite curious whether a soul spirit can possess a set of battle armor."

Battle armor?

Xiao Jin said she didn't understand.

His eyes were fixed on the silver on the table, and he almost drooled.

This is a rare metal that has been nurtured with spirituality through his spiritual guidance, so he can naturally sense some of the metal's properties.

"Since you want it, then I'll make you a claw glove."

"Roar!" (Long live the Soul Master!)
After resting for a while, Su Ming resumed swinging his hammer, shaping the piece of sunken silver.

Two hours later.

"Okay, give it a try."

Su Ming handed a pair of claw gloves to Xiao Jin and looked at him expectantly.

Xiao Jin put the paw covers on a pair of bear paws, and they fit perfectly.

"Roar."

"Don't worry, I can refine it for you later and inscribe some core magic arrays, so that these claws can change size according to your body shape."

"Roar." (As expected of a Soul Master, they can do anything.)
"Give it a try, the properties of this piece of sunken silver must be extraordinary."

This is Su Ming's first thousand-forged work, and he used blood sacrifice, so the resulting characteristics and quality are usually not bad.

Normally, only the blacksmith can use the metal obtained from a blood sacrifice, but the blacksmith's soul can also use it.

Little Gold let out an excited roar and then waved its claws.

Su Ming's pupils contracted.

Oops!

Xiao Jin suddenly unleashed a claw-like attack, which landed directly on the forging platform in front of him.

boom!
The forging table was alright, being of high quality, but a clear claw mark appeared on it. Everything behind the forging table was destroyed, torn apart by the claw's edge, and the wall behind it was also pierced through.

"Forming? Or tearing?"

Su Ming looked at Xiao Jin's masterpiece with surprise and doubt.

Instead of blaming Xiao Jin for causing damage, he went forward to examine the marks on the forging table and the wall behind it, carefully sensing the aura emanating from the claw marks.

“Tear!”

"Roar!" (What powerful claws! Soul Master's items are so useful!)
Little Jin looked down at his two bear paws, very happy, and was ready to continue trying.

"No, don't try it yet. I'll find you a place to experience it to your heart's content when I have time. Now, you fix these things for me first."

Su Ming pointed to the forging table and the claw marks on the wall behind it.

Xiao Jin was immediately displeased.

"Roar!" (I can't fix it!)
　Some readers still have questions about the relationship between the three time points, so I'll create a separate thread to explain it in detail.
