Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 31 Ancient Moon (Please continue reading!!!)
Using the materials from one hundred sets of three-word battle armor to build a mecha? That's insane.

Even so, this mecha is only fully forged with soul steel, and it is still far from its theoretical limit.

“I’m stuck right now.” Mu Ye looked helpless as he reminded Su Ming, “Your idea is good, but you must be extremely careful in the actual operation, so that you don’t end up like me.”

Su Ming's proposal to equip the soul spirit with battle armor is not entirely the same as Mu Ye's situation. There is no process of the soul spirit integrating into the mecha. The core idea is to create matching battle armor for the soul spirit.

In that case, even if we get trapped, it's just a matter of making one more set of battle armor.

Mu Ye's experience convinced Su Ming that soul spirit evolution was feasible. By integrating forged spirit-forged and soul-forged metals into the soul spirit, it was possible to strengthen the soul spirit from its very source. This was the same principle as a soul master using battle armor to directly amplify their martial soul.

"The Soul Master world hasn't fully developed Battle Armor yet. Your idea is one direction for development. Battle Armor involves engraving core arrays of metals like Spirit Forging into the body of a living being. Soul Masters can fuse with it and, by utilizing the properties of the metal, directly amplify its effects onto their Martial Soul. Over time, this will also lead to the strengthening of the Martial Soul. This is why the Soul Master world is getting stronger and stronger. Because the struggle of a generation of Battle Armor Masters can improve their Martial Soul invisibly. As long as a family has generations of Battle Armor Masters, after ten generations, even if the initial Martial Soul is only a mid-level Martial Soul, it can transform into a stable high-level Martial Soul, and even have a high probability of awakening into a top-level Martial Soul."

Zhenhua was most knowledgeable about forging and knew very well that the essence of battle armor was to endow the soul master's martial soul with the properties of metal.

"Therefore, similarly, the soul can also be endowed with the properties of metal, which over time enhances the bloodline, thereby evolving, and even breaking through the cultivation level in the process."

Mu Ye and Zhen Hua both affirmed Su Ming's idea and did not stop him, but only warned him to be cautious.

Upon receiving the answer, Su Ming quickly assured everyone that he wouldn't do anything reckless.

He didn't want to be trapped either.

Even if he is determined to reach the level of a master craftsman in the future, he dares not take on the debt of a hundred sets of Heavenly Forging Metal beforehand.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked Makino, "Teacher, so you are a blacksmith?"

Makino nodded.

"I am proficient in all four of my secondary professions."

Are you proficient in all of them?
Su Ming was shocked.

Isn't this just like me?

"Initially, I cultivated as both a blacksmith and a soul master. Later, I fell in love with mecha. Since I was already a level six blacksmith and could meet the material supply requirements for red-level mecha, I stopped cultivating as a blacksmith and turned to mecha design and manufacturing. I also learned mecha repair along the way."

Su Ming's lips twitched.

Therefore, true leaders do not follow the rules.

"If you have enough talent, you can choose freely. However, even if you have talent, you will inevitably have to put in effort to achieve something in each secondary profession. Of my four secondary professions, I have reached level nine except for blacksmith. As for blacksmith, I am stuck at level seven, the Saint Craftsman, and I don't see any hope of reaching level eight."

"Don't expect him to teach you anything. He only forges the few rare metals he needs now," Zhenhua said.

Makino did not refute it.

All he wants now is to upgrade all parts of his mecha to Soul Forged Metal as soon as possible, and then work as Zhenhua's chef for a few more years to upgrade more core parts of the mecha to Heaven Forged Metal.

He estimated that he would have a chance to break through to Super Douluo by then.

It may take a considerable amount of time.

"What, are you planning to equip your soul spirit with battle armor? Your soul spirit is only a thousand years old, its intelligence is not high, it probably won't be able to exert its maximum effect, right?" Zhenhua said.

Su Ming shook his head and said truthfully, "I just wanted to use this method to guide the growth of my soul."

It would be best to collect a complete set of battle armor, but it's okay if you can't.

According to his plan, he intended to integrate the metal he would forge in the future, which possessed time-related characteristics, into the soul.

His soul possesses the attribute of time, but it is an artificial soul and still needs guidance to grow. Of course, that's all for the future.

He is unable to guide it yet, because his soul has not even been conceived yet.

"Alright, it's up to you whether you want to equip your spirit with a soul tool made of spirit metal. Learn forging first." Zhenhua waved his hand, not letting Su Ming continue to dawdle.

"You'll be staying in Tiandou City for three months. I need to teach you all the forging techniques first."

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Su Ming returned to Tianhai City.

According to Han Tianyi, he wanted to take him directly to the Spirit Tower headquarters in Shrek City, but Zhang Tianyang persuaded him with various arguments to let Su Ming stay in Tianhai City.

The Tianhai Spirit Pagoda can provide all the resources needed by the headquarters. If necessary, just tell Han Tianyi and ask him to help obtain them from the headquarters.

On the contrary, factional struggles are more frequent at headquarters, and Su Ming will get caught up in the fighting if he goes there in advance.

Zhang Tianyang even suggested that Su Ming should study at Shrek Academy for a period of time before he meets the requirements for serving as a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda.

Of course, Han Tianyi sternly rejected this suggestion.

Join Shrek Academy?

What to do if your brain has been brainwashed?
Back in Tianhai City, Su Ming was slightly surprised when he arrived at Zhang Tianyang's office.

"Teacher, who is this?"

Su Ming looked at the ordinary-looking girl and hesitated for a moment.

"Haha, let me introduce you. This is Gu Yue, from Donghai City, studying at Donghai Academy." Zhang Tianyang warmly introduced the two to each other.

Seeing Su Ming's puzzled expression, Zhang Tianyang explained a few more things to him.

"Her martial soul is also of the elemental control type, called Elementalist. The elemental attributes she can control are similar to yours. In addition, she has been accepted as a disciple by the deputy tower master of our Spirit Pagoda. In any case, it won't hurt for you to spar with her occasionally and establish a connection."

Su Ming pondered the time for a moment.

Gu Yue should have just enrolled at Donghai Academy not long ago.

Leng Yaozhu acted so quickly.

Of course, Zhang Tianyang was also well-informed, able to summon Gu Yue from Donghai City to this place, creating an opportunity for them to get to know each other.

“You two have a chance to exchange ideas. You both have the talent to control the seven elements of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. You should have a lot in common.” Zhang Tianyang said, then smiled wryly and added, “The teacher is the same. He is also of the fire attribute, so there is only so much he can teach.”

Gu Yue's gaze flickered slightly upon hearing Zhang Tianyang say that Su Ming had mastered seven elements.

She looked at Su Ming in surprise.

"I hope to receive your guidance in the future," Su Ming said sincerely as he stepped forward.

This statement comes from the bottom of my heart.

The Silver Dragon King's control over the elements is unparalleled, and Su Ming felt he could learn something from Gu Yue.
