Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 33 delayed again
Mu Chen led Su Ming to his private forging room.

"You can choose any metal here to forge. Once it's successfully forged, it's yours as a gift from your senior apprentice."

Su Ming thought to himself that he was stingy, even his greeting gift required approval before he would give it.

If Mu Chen knew what he was thinking, he would definitely feel wronged.

Good heavens, you came all this way to provoke this old man, and you even said I'm stingy?
That bracelet contains so much top-grade metal, and you're telling me you'll fail at forging it?

"Uncle-Master, please enlighten me!"

Su Ming stepped forward and picked out a piece of Star Soul Iron.

This stuff is produced in extremely low quantities, so if you see one you should definitely take it.

Seeing this scene, Mu Chen's lips twitched, and he felt a pang of heartache.

He's not like Zhenhua; he has to compete with many master craftsmen for the allocation of rare metals. He only has one piece of Star Soul Iron on display here.

In fact, this was indeed the only piece of Star Soul Iron he had left.

He used up all the others.

Su Ming ignored Mu Chen's feelings and placed the Star Soul Iron on the forging table, starting to heat it up.

All his movements were incredibly fluid, from heating to sensing to forging, all with composure.

The forging hammer struck the Star Soul Iron, beginning a rhythmic beat.

Previously, he couldn't control the delayed effect of his forging hammer, simply using it as a superimposed force. After three months of guidance from Zhenhua, he is now able to proceed step by step.

Although he was still far from perfectly utilizing the delay effect, it was already enough to greatly contribute to his forging. During his first attempt at Thousand Refinements of Grade One, he barely managed to complete it by relying entirely on his own strength from Dou Yi and Dou Er, along with the feedback properties of the Star Soul Iron. With his increased proficiency in using the delay effect, he could now successfully forge Thousand Refinements of Grade One without relying on his full strength, using only half of it.

Before leaving Tiandou City, Zhenhua helped him integrate the original piece of Star Soul Iron with the feedback characteristic into his forging hammer.

This time, he plans to use the lowest possible standard to try and achieve the highest grade of refinement!
"What kind of characteristic is this?"

Mu Chen stared at Su Ming and noticed that Su Ming's forging hammer was constantly returning soul power to Su Ming. At the same time, when the forging hammer was raised, the metal was also continuously struck.

He was confused.

Tang Wulin was also completely bewildered by this scene, not understanding what kind of forging technique Su Ming was using.

Of course, Mu Chen wasn't obsessed with figuring out the special properties; he simply watched Su Ming's forging process, observing each time he hammered the Star Soul Iron.

"At least so far there are no problems, and this piece of Star Soul Iron has not been wasted."

after an hour.

Su Ming made the final decision.

Before him, the Star Soul Iron erupted with a beam of starlight a foot and a half long.

It has a spirit after being forged a thousand times!

Tang Wulin watched this scene in shock.

Is this what a top-grade, thousand-times-forged item looks like?

He could only master ordinary Thousand Refinement, and was still a long way from reaching the first rank of Thousand Refinement, while Su Ming, his peer, had already reached the first rank of Thousand Refinement.

"What the teacher said was right. My talent is only so-so, not top-notch," Tang Wulin thought to himself.

Su Ming sensed something, cut open his palm, and bled directly.

Blood sacrifice?
Mu Chen frowned.

It wasn't the first time I did a thousand forgings; it was just a normal forging process. Why do I have to sacrifice blood?

Or is there some special change that occurred during the forging process of this Star Soul Iron?

Mu Chen indeed did not sense it.

Of course, it's not that this forging wasn't impressive; on the contrary, it was quite perfect. However, because it was so standard, he couldn't see anything particularly outstanding about it.

Why the blood sacrifice?
Su Ming sensed a familiar fluctuation—the same fluctuation he felt when his first piece of Thousand-Refined Metal was formed, representing the characteristic of this Star Soul Iron. Characteristic: Delay!

Two years later, he finally forged a thousand-time metal with time-related properties once again!

After the blood sacrifice, Su Ming integrated the Star Soul Iron into his body and never mentioned the metal again.

He looked at Mu Chen.

"Uncle-Master, is there any room for improvement in my forging techniques?"

Mu Chen said, "The area I see that needs improvement is your application of your forging hammer. Your forging hammer has very special and powerful characteristics. If you can improve it further, your forging will be much easier."

Although he could see areas for improvement, he couldn't correct them.

"Senior brother has also taken on a good disciple." Mu Chen sighed and said to Tang Wulin beside him, "Wulin, you see, your talent is actually not top-notch yet, you need to work harder."

Hearing this, Mu Xi rolled her eyes.

She's heard those words several times in the past few days.

To be honest, she felt that Tang Wulin had been completely fooled and couldn't even recognize his own talent.

Now that Su Ming has appeared, Tang Wulin will probably believe Mu Chen's words without a doubt.

However, there are people on this continent whose forging talent is even more monstrous than Tang Wulin's.
After chatting with Mu Chen for a while, Su Ming took his leave and returned to Tianhai City with Zhang Tianyang.

Inside the mecha.

"I just received news that your project simulation is complete," Zhang Tianyang said.

"it's over?"

Su Ming was pleasantly surprised.

“You can put your worries aside. According to the results of the research department, even if a Soul Master’s Soul Power is not fully accumulated, as long as the Soul Master can cultivate the Soul Power to near solidity, condensing the Soul Core is still achievable. It’s just that some techniques need to be changed.” Zhang Tianyang said, “Given your situation of borrowing power, the quality of your Soul Power and your physical fitness are being affected, and the Soul Core will condense ahead of schedule, but it’s not a big problem.”

"Teacher, may I take a look at the deduction results first? I'd like to see what technical changes are needed," Su Ming said.

Although it's hard to understand why Su Ming is so worried about the soul core condensation at this time, Su Ming's soul power quality is indeed outstanding due to borrowing power, so he will indeed face the problem of soul core condensation when his soul power is not full.

Zhang Tianyang operated the mecha directly from inside.

The Red-class mech is very well-equipped; it can even connect to the internet and perform tasks.

He pulled up the research department's results, opened some of the models, and showed them to Su Ming.

Su Ming stared intently at the human meridian model on the screen, looking at the techniques he had never heard of before, as if he had found a treasure.

"Oh, these external magic arrays are also crucial, as they can effectively help soul masters bind their soul power."

Zhang Tianyang then pulled out some attachments, which were all applications of soul guidance arrays, inscribed around the soul master to help the soul master bind their soul power.

"The research department is really efficient," Su Ming remarked.

"Haha, our Spirit Pagoda invests more in the research department than you can imagine. Although many projects in the Soul Spirit System are stuck in a bottleneck, it doesn't mean that other projects will progress slowly."

Su Ming nodded.

Current soul guidance technology has advanced to the point where it can construct models of human soul masters' meridians and simulate the cultivation process. This is very powerful, but it is not widely used. Most soul masters who have access to this field do not really need such technology.

Those powerful Soul Masters didn't need it, but Su Ming valued this technology very much.

He looked at the model in front of him, quickly calculating in his mind, and began to understand the many techniques within the model by combining his own thoughts with those of Touji.

In just half an hour, he reached a conclusion.

Douji can try to break through.

Coincidentally, the soul's choice has also reached its final decision.
