Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 96 The Spirit Hall's Reaction (Please continue reading!!!)
Upon arriving at the entrance of Zhu Jiuyang's forging room, Su Ming heard muffled hammering sounds.

The layout on the fifth floor of the association remained unchanged. The foundry was still occupied by the master blacksmiths. Because of the renaming of the Forging Masters Association, Su Ming renamed the foundry to the forging room.

Next to Zhu Jiuyang's forging room was another forging room that was quite tall.

Su Ming looked over and saw that the entrance to the towering forging room was now unguarded.

Previously, Lou Gao's four disciples and the four grandmasters of Si Long would take turns guarding Lou Gao. Now, they are all busy cultivating their soul power. In addition, Lou Gao himself rarely stays in the forging room and is also focusing on cultivation. Therefore, Su Ming did not see anyone at this time.

Without Silong around, he couldn't ask his teacher what was going on.

So as not to disturb Zhu Jiuyang, he stood at the door and waited.

The sounds coming from the forging room were very muffled, each hammer blow was powerful and heavy, and Su Ming could feel the metal vibrating even through the door.

"Teacher is attempting to break through to the Spirit Forging Realm."

Su Ming could tell that Zhu Jiuyang's hammer blows were very precise, and the metal was being forged very effectively. Most importantly, he had made full use of the characteristics of the stacked hammer forging hammer.

That's right, Zhu Jiuyang's forging hammer has the characteristic of stacking hammers.

Boom!
dong dong!

As the rhythmic tapping continued, Su Ming sensed a spiritual fluctuation.

This means the spirit infusion was successful.

There's still a long way to go before truly giving metal life, bringing that spirit and the metal to life.

Not long after, about half an hour later, Su Ming heard a bang, and then Zhu Jiuyang came over to open the door, cursing.

"This spirit forging is too difficult. I've never even raised a child myself, yet I'm asked to nurture a piece of metal and bring it into life."

Zhu Jiuyang had sensed Su Ming's arrival long ago. After opening the door, he returned to the forging table and began to reflect on his mistake.

He makes different mistakes each time, because he corrects them after each mistake and avoids repeating the same error. This is his exceptional ability to act and the guarantee brought by his powerful cultivation.

But there are far more than just a few mistakes that can occur during a forging process.

Every step can be crucial, leaving little room for error for the blacksmith. Sometimes, an unintentional forging might just happen to be successful, but if the blacksmith doesn't pay attention the next time, it could be a fatal mistake.

Some people are suited to be teachers, while others are not.

Because some people actually hit all the pitfalls and corrected them, or even if they didn't hit any pitfalls, they could still anticipate their existence and explain them directly when students made mistakes, instead of having their brains freeze when faced with situations outside of their lesson plans.

Su Ming is the right one.

He helped Zhu Jiuyang analyze his mistakes and told him how to correct them.

"wonderful!"

Zhu Jiuyang could sense that Su Ming not only addressed the mistakes but also provided a perfect answer, adding value to the forging process and improving the quality after successful forging.

“I have a premonition that I will definitely break through to the Spirit Forging Realm this month,” Zhu Jiuyang said.

He looked at Su Ming, his expression showing a hint of hesitation.

"Xiao Ming, are you sure you want to expose yourself? After I master Spirit Forging, I can help you withstand the pressure outside."

Su Ming shook his head.

He has to be at the forefront.

In order to gain a more stable position and absorb more forging faith, he must become the founder.

“Teacher, your breakthrough in Spirit Forging is the greatest protection for me. The creator of this unique technique will face danger, but as long as the technique is not monopolized by me and a second person masters Spirit Forging, my risk will be greatly reduced.”

If he's the only one who masters spirit forging, then malicious people will definitely want to kidnap him, force him to work illegally, or force him to reveal the technology so they can monopolize the market. The gains would easily outweigh the losses from facing retaliation from those behind Su Ming.

If a second person were to master spirit forging, it wouldn't be worthwhile. Without a monopoly, there would be significantly less profit. Furthermore, considering Zhu Jiuyang behind Su Ming, we would be much more wary. "Besides the Martial Soul Main Hall, distributing ten pieces of spirit metal this time should cause quite a stir. During this period, you'll stay with me and not cultivate alone."

"it is good."

"Once the people from the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire arrive and discuss support and cooperation, your safety will be greatly guaranteed."

For the next three days, Su Ming stayed in Zhu Jiuyang's forging room.

The master and apprentice took turns performing spiritual forging.

Su Ming's success rate was also low, only 20%, so he would only succeed once every five attempts at spirit forging.

Therefore, both he and Zhu Jiuyang suffered defeats.

Zhu Jiuyang learned from his own mistakes and Su Ming's mistakes, and his progress was rapid.

Wuhun City.

Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong wore a long, shimmering gold gown from head to toe, the gown sparkling with dazzling light and inlaid with over a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones. She wore a nine-curved purple-gold crown and held a scepter approximately two meters long.

Her fair skin, near-perfect appearance, and especially the noble and sacred aura she exuded, inspired a sense of reverence.

Bibi Dong looked at the letter from Miles in her hand, then at the piece of spirit metal that had been delivered along with the letter.

She held the spirit metal in her hand and, as instructed in the letter, infused it with her soul power.

As her soul power responded and she sensed the spiritual feedback from the spirit metal, her expression changed slightly.

“Spirit metal, interesting.” She looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside her and asked, “Elder Chrysanthemum, what do you think?”

While asking the question, she also handed the spirit metal to Yue Guan.

Holding the spirit metal in his hand, Yue Guan closed his eyes and sensed it.

He opened his eyes and offered his own insights.

"It can change the situation in the world of Soul Masters, but it will take time."

In the short term, the impact of spirit metal on the Soul Master world is limited, but in the long run, spirit metal will inevitably become an indispensable equipment material for Soul Masters in the early stages.

“The Spirit Hall would never give up such a valuable item,” Yue Guan said again.

“But there’s something about the Blacksmiths’ Association that’s not easy to deal with.” Bibi Dong rubbed her temples with her right hand. “According to Miles’ understanding, the one who has mastered this forging technique is likely Zhu Jiuyang.”

Wishing you good health and happiness?
Yue Guan and the ghost on the other side of Bibi Dong exchanged a glance.

Zhu Jiuyang was an old friend to them, after all, he almost became the brother-in-law of the previous pope.

“Your Holiness, since he has chosen to auction off spirit metals, he must have planned to communicate with the outside world. The Spirit Hall is someone he cannot refuse, so we can still cooperate.”

Bibi Dong did not deny Yue Guan's words.

She frowned, pondering how exactly she should cooperate with Zhu Jiuyang.

"Your Holiness, do you intend for the Elders to contact Zhu Jiuyang?"

Seeing Bibi Dong's hesitation, Yue Guan asked her a question.

He knew that the relationship between Bibi Dong and Zhu Jiuyang was awkward; one was Qian Xunji's beloved disciple, and the other was the brother whose sister had been jilted by Qian Xunji.

“If the Pope is unable to appear in person, Yue Guan can do it on his behalf.”
