Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

Take a breath, take out the Vitality Water (the water droplets created by the Vitality Water Drop Soul Skill can no longer be called water droplets if they accumulate too many) from the storage soul tool, and drink a couple of sips.

Once the weakness and trembling in his limbs subsided, Long You picked up the deep-sea silver that now contained spiritual light and struck the forging chamber of Fan Yu.

In this day and age, all excellent Soul Masters are also excellent blacksmiths. Judging the quality of a piece of metal is a fundamental skill for a good blacksmith.

When Long You handed over the Deep Sea Silver he had successfully forged to Fan Yu, the spiritual light emanating from the Deep Sea Silver had already subsided. However, as soon as he touched it, Fan Yu realized that the Deep Sea Silver in his hand was different.

"Is this deep-sea sunken silver? No, deep-sea sunken silver couldn't be this active. What is this? A newly discovered rare metal? No, the forging marks are very obvious. Have you improved the existing forging methods?"

Fan Yu reacted very quickly, guessing part of the truth in just a few words. Seeing the teacher's excited expression, Long You didn't keep him in suspense any longer and said directly:

"Teacher, you are aware of my martial soul's situation. The Book of Witness has the ability to witness the future, which means it can optimize and deduce. After I learned the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, the Book of Witness used it as a foundation to optimize a chapter called Forging Technique."

At that time, the content of the forging chapter was very brief, only saying that if the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was practiced to the extreme, it could forge ten-fold metal.

Over the years, as my skills in metal forging have grown stronger, the content recorded in the forging chapters has also increased. Now, in addition to the ten forging realms I just mentioned, there are also hundred forging, thousand forging, spirit forging, and soul forging.

During the hundred-fold and thousand-fold forging stages, neither ordinary nor rare metals can actually exhibit any particularly outstanding qualities.

Teacher, you had actually seen the forged rare metals that had undergone a thousand refinements. At the time, you only said that my foundation was solid and that I did a great job in metal forging. I believe that you didn't actually realize at the time that there was a fundamental difference between thousand-refined rare metals and ordinary ten-refined rare metals.

"No, there isn't."

"In fact, there isn't. The process from ten forgings to a thousand forgings is just a quantitative change. The real qualitative change occurs in the process from a thousand forgings to spirit forgings."

Over the next period of time, Long You explained to Fan Yu in detail what spirit forging is, what the difference is between spirit forged metal and ordinary forged metal, and what the differences are after spirit forged metal is made into an object, and so on.

"The world is wondrous, and the technology of soul tools is profound. There are still many questions that we need to explore!"

After listening to Long You's explanation, Fan Yu said with a mix of emotion and relief.

"Xiao You, since you've come to me, you must be planning to pass on this refined forging technique to the academy. Rest assured, the academy will not mistreat any student who has made significant contributions to the academy's development."

"Teacher, I won't mince words with you. I came to Shrek Academy because of its abundant resources. I will never be stingy with any technology that can be exchanged for the resources I need from the academy."

A week ago, Dean Qian gave me an investment of a soul bone, and now it's time for Dean Qian to start reaping the benefits.

The student has prepared detailed information on forging techniques. It's all contained in this video-guided soul device, which records all the written information about forging techniques, as well as the video footage of my successful spirit forging of Deep Sea Silver. As learning material, it should be sufficient.

Facing Fan Yu, Long You didn't hide his purpose; there was no need. Long You still remembered the short-term soul tool manufacturing goal he had set for himself (a combat-aid intelligent soul tool). To achieve that goal, Long You's current financial resources were simply insufficient; he needed investment from Shrek Academy.

After watching the images stored in the camera soul tool handed over by Long You, a glint flashed in Fan Yu's eyes.

"Good! Good! Good! I believe Dean Qian will be very satisfied with the fact that his investment has yielded such results in such a short time."

But now is not the time to talk about Dean Qian. Let's talk about what kind of reward I should give you, teacher. I won't mince words; once this technology is handed in, I'll also get a share of the credit. So, the reward you deserve won't be lacking.”

"Yangyan Gold, I want the rare metal Yangyan Gold, one kilogram."

Teacher, you must have seen it just now. In the art of forging, there is also a special forging method called fusion forging. It is a method that can fuse two or more rare metals into one, thereby creating a man-made rare metal that combines the properties of multiple rare metals.

I will first refine the Yangyan Gold with spirit, then refine this piece of deep-sea sunken silver with the Yangyan Gold, ultimately forging a forging hammer that is uniquely mine.

Are you confident?

"Yes, but it will take time, at least half a month."

"Time is not a problem, as long as you are confident. I will keep this forging technique with me for now. Once you have made the forging hammer, we will go to see Dean Qian together."

As for the Yangyan Gold you requested, I've approved it. I'll have Cai Tou deliver it to you at 3 PM this afternoon. Now go and rest.”

"Thank you, teacher."

Once you take the first step, your body seems to develop muscle memory, and everything else will fall into place naturally.

While both were spirit forging techniques, Long You encountered far fewer difficulties when forging Yangyan Gold than when he tried forging Deep Sea Silver.

In just four days, Long You forged the Spirit Forging Grade Yang Flame Gold. During this forging process, Long You's teacher Fan Yu and senior brother He Cai Tou observed the entire process and took on the task of filming.

Spirit forging was no longer a problem, but just as Long You had anticipated, fusion forging became the new challenge. It took Long You a full nine days before he was confident he could successfully fuse Deep Sea Silver and Yangyan Gold in reality.

To bring out the properties of the rare metal Yangyan Gold, the entire forging process was carried out in a high-temperature environment. Even so, Fan Yu and He Cai Tou's enthusiasm for watching remained undiminished.

As Long You's hammering once again unleashed the spiritual light hidden deep within the sunken silver and Yangyan gold, Fan Yu's gaze was profound.

Although Fan Yu has not yet been able to truly forge the rare spirit metal, he can see that the spiritual light of the two rare metals is distinct and does not blend together.

Despite having thoroughly studied the written tutorial on fusion forging, Fan Yu was at a loss as to how to fuse these two distinct rare metals into a completely new rare metal.
