Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

William first used his mental power to ignite the flames. As the fire grew larger, he took out a large amount of materials from his bag.

He began by organizing them. He placed the clay on one side and the candles on the other. As for the red ore, he divided it into two groups, one with seven kilograms and the other with three kilograms.

Alina made a bet with herself. She bet William wouldn't last five minutes. Even if he possessed some forging knowledge as he claimed, there was absolutely no way he could survive the explosion of the Crimson Vitality Ore.

She was even prepared to intervene should he encounter any danger. Whether he was a porter or a disciple, in her eyes he was a person.

But contrary to her expectations, William's first choice was to use clay.

The clay looks like a giant block of blue slime. Despite its soft texture, it still has weight. At ten kilograms, it only occupies a three-square-meter space, which, frankly, isn't much considering its delicate appearance.

He simply cut off a piece with his bare hands. The clay followed his hands effortlessly, then moved to a large pot made of a special alloy and placed it inside.

"Do you have any ready-made molds here? For making arrowheads?" William asked as he carefully placed the pot over the roaring fire.

“Here,” she gestured, and a square mold, about a meter in size, appeared before William. It was made of a special alloy that could withstand the high temperatures of molten ore. It contained hundreds of spaces to form arrows.

William examined the spaces and was filled with admiration. Each space was diamond-shaped, with the tip of the arrow taper slightly. This not only gave the arrow greater penetrating power but also helped increase its speed and momentum.

“This is the mold I made for the arrow myself,” Elena said, noticing William’s admiring gaze. “Could your master possibly have something so good?”

“My master? Hmph, her craftsmanship is far superior to your imagination.” Although William admired Elena’s skills, he knew that given the time, he could certainly create an even better mold.

Of course, he wasn't entirely lying about his master; he did have a master in his past life.

"Then let's see what your master taught you." Elena accepted the insult fiercely and glared at William.

The latter didn't say anything more, but simply set the mold aside for the time being. Then he waited for the clay to melt.

Homer's clay is a well-known alchemical ingredient, but no one has ever attempted to melt it directly with fire like he has now. Adding clay to any recipe helps to improve its grade in a better way.

But when exposed to fire, it not only melts quickly, but also burns away some of its impurities. The seemingly simple blue clay transforms into a shimmering blue liquid within a minute, even attracting Alina's attention. (Panda-:)????)m

To her surprise, William's first simple action was something she had never heard of before. This realization made her frown inwardly and seriously question everything he had said before.

“Alright,” William said, carefully removing the pot from the fire and placing it gently on the specially made table when the clay had reached this state. Then he picked up the scarlet vitality stones and quickly placed them one by one on the table.

Driven by an innate fear, Elena tried to stop him, but William moved with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he had placed dozens of such ores on the table. Then he grabbed the pot and slowly poured its contents over them.

Like water poured on fire, the clay emitted a loud sizzling sound upon contact with the ore. Not only that, it also emitted a strange, dazzling blue light, and then the amount of clay it had poured out began to slowly disappear.

The scarlet, vibrant ore absorbed all the liquid, slowly turning into a dark red ore. The previously shimmering red light seemed to have lost much of its vitality under the influence of the Homo clay.

This is the secret William knows about clay. Contrary to what alchemists mistakenly believe, this clay does not possess any upgrade capabilities; its controllability is comparable to many top-tier materials that William currently cannot obtain.

The main problem with Crimson Vitality Ore is its uncontrollable, intense internal force. Once stimulated, the ore will explode instantly, and its energy will spiral out of control.

William used the control properties of clay to forcibly store this violent energy within it, transforming it into a docile form. This was his first step in processing these ores.

Alina is no ordinary blacksmith. She's among the top five in the entire department. Her senses are incredibly sharp, and her blacksmithing experience is extensive.

The subtle effects of the clay on the minerals did not escape her notice, leaving her gaping in astonishment without her noticing anything.

She was shocked, utterly shocked beyond words. What she was seeing was not just a miracle in the world of forging!

Doesn't everyone know that Crimson Vitality Ore contains abundant energy? Every blacksmith dreams of finding a way to control this violent energy and tame it under their control.

But throughout the long history of forging in the Soul Master world, to her knowledge, no one had ever been able to do this. And now, this little porter who appeared out of nowhere had actually done it! It was as if he were eating a meal.

After calming his shock, William successfully processed the large quantity of Crimson Vitality Ore. Next, he placed another piece of clay over the fire and began loading the processed ore onto one side.

She wanted to speak, to ask questions. At that moment, countless questions flooded her mind. But seeing William so focused, she refrained from doing so for the time being.
