Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

Do you know your strengths?

The Dark Gold Bear blinked and shook its head.

What are the advantages of spirits?

He doesn't understand.

Su Ming said, "I'm referring to your own strengths."

The dark golden bear's eyes began to show impatience. It roared, signaling Su Ming to stop babbling and get to the point.

A bear's brain isn't for thinking in circles.

"Thanks to the meteorite ore, your talent in metal has been fully developed, and you're almost at the stage of bloodline evolution," Su Ming reminded him.

Dark Gold Bear suddenly realized.

Correct!

That's my advantage.

"You are still in spirit form, no longer a bear on your own. You have a spirit master to help you evolve, a smart spirit master who can help you plan your future growth path!"

A glint of wisdom flashed in the dark golden bear's eyes.

"Hmph!" (That makes sense, I agree with you!)

"Haha, then from now on we'll be partners who grow together," Su Ming said.

He always thought that the soul spirit could be cultivated as a beast taming technique, so that the soul spirit would improve while the soul master himself would also improve. However, the soul spirit could not be cultivated to improve his cultivation level under normal circumstances.

However, the soul is a real individual, still possessing a spiritual origin, and still has the potential to evolve and improve.

Contract with a spirit, nurture the spirit, and then receive its support in return.

That's a good direction too.

Of course, neglecting the essentials is also not good. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. If you receive feedback from the spirit but fail to perfectly integrate the spirit's abilities into your own system, then you're just wasting your energy.

From now on, I'll call you Xiao Jin.

The Dark Gold Bear roared, clearly displeased.

Small?

Am I small?

He gestured to his own height and compared it to Su Ming's.

"Let's get down to business. Your primary goal now is bloodline evolution."

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"And the greatest credit for your success today is the meteorite, which allowed you to absorb sufficient metallic energy and stimulated the healthy evolution of your bloodline."

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"Therefore, if you want your bloodline to evolve, you either need to obtain some kind of opportunity, or you need to continue to follow the steps and complete the self-awakening of your bloodline by developing your affinity for metal."

"Roar!" (Yes!)

Dark Gold Bear secretly felt a greater sense of trust in Su Ming.

Good heavens! I never knew a Soul Master's mind was so sharp. I never used to be able to organize my thoughts so smoothly.

Do you know what I do?

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"Roar." (No, I don't know.)

The Dark Gold Bear roared twice.

Su Ming pointed to the back of the Dark Gold Bear.

The Dark Gold Bear turned around, feeling a little uncomfortable in the small room, and transformed back into its smaller form.

Turning around, he saw the blacksmith's shop.

"Roar~" (So it was a blacksmith~)

“That’s right, I’m a blacksmith. I’m with metal every day, and that can help you evolve,” Su Ming said.

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"However, bloodline evolution is not something that can be achieved so easily."

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"So, Xiao Jin, you also need to personally join the forging process and help me complete the metal forging."

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"Just contacting the metal isn't enough; ideally, the metal should reciprocate. The Blacksmith's Guild has such a system, where you can forge the spirit from the metal. However, metals that can be forged into spirits are extremely rare these days, possessing unique characteristics. Blacksmiths are merely catalysts." Su Ming finished in one breath: "This relies too heavily on materials, which isn't suitable for someone like you who needs to enjoy the reciprocation of forging over a long period. Therefore, we need to find a way to make ordinary metals also generate spirits."

This time, Xiao Jin didn't immediately respond to the shout. Su Ming had said a lot, and he needed some time to understand.

After a while, he roared.

"Roar!" (That's right! As expected of a Soul Master!)

“Metal has no spirit, so let’s give it a spirit. You are a soul, you have a spirit.”

"Hoho?"

Xiao Jin sensed something was wrong.

He roared twice, questioning Su Ming.

"Roar!" (You're so smart, don't you have any spirit?)

Su Ming said helplessly to Xiao Jin, "I have a physical body, and my soul is hidden in the body. It is impossible to separate them. You are different. You are a pure spiritual body. Because of the contract with me, you are very stable. Moreover, as long as you do not damage your origin, you can recover in my spiritual sea."

Xiao Jin said she didn't understand.

Su Ming smiled.

It's okay if you don't understand.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Just do as I say. We're in a relationship where we share both prosperity and adversity. If you evolve, I'll benefit too. I'm definitely thinking of you."

"Roar!" (Yes!)

"You just need to cooperate with me and try to separate your spirit into the metal during the forging process. I will use the forging technique to give the metal a spiritual quality. As the spiritual quality grows, it will then feed back into you. It's a win-win situation."

"Huh?" (If I send out my spirit and then feed it back, will it increase in number?)

“That’s right!” Su Ming said, “The feedback from creating life is enormous, and the synchronous improvement from weak to strong is also the simplest.”

“Let me give you an example. A life’s spirit is 1 when it is born. As it grows, from birth to infancy, the spirit increases to 10, and then to 100 in adulthood. You are currently at that 100, and you have already experienced this process. It is difficult to improve further. But metal is different. After you successfully transfer your 1 point of spirit to the metal, the metal will have a spirit from nothing, and then it will grow again and again until it reaches 100. Even if it only gives you 10%, that’s still 10 points of spirit. Moreover, the biggest advantage of metal’s growth is its speed. As long as the forging technique is up to par, this growth process can be completed in just a few days!”

Xiao Jin thought for a full two and a half minutes before hesitantly nodding his bear head.

"Roar." (Okay, I understand it more or less.)

Su Ming smiled.

well.

Although it wasted some time, it did help his soul understand the purpose of what he was about to do.

"Then, let's try to create a spirit forging system."

Xiao Jin also seems very energetic.

Is it possible to make progress?

Su Ming couldn't offer any unlimited guarantees at this point.

"Let's be clear first, we don't have the right method yet, so we still need to explore. It might be very difficult in the early stages, and we might even only invest without any returns. But as long as we find the right method and successfully develop Spirit Forging, we will have unlimited potential!"

"Roar!" (Come on!)

Brave bear, unafraid of difficulties!

Chapter 28 Spiritual Grafting

"Ouch!" (That hurts!)

Xiao Jin's roar failed to interrupt Su Ming's forging.

"It will hurt a little at first, but you'll get used to it."

Su Ming comforted him, and at the same time slammed the forging hammer down hard, using his soul power to force Xiao Jin's power into the metal through the forging hammer.

He has a very deep understanding of forging and is able to interact with metals at a profound level.

Since there was no spirit inside the metal, he smashed in an external spirit!

This was his idea, and also the way he planned to solve the problem of not being able to refine spirits when fighting against one or two opponents.

Since the laws governing different planes are not yet fully developed, we will use a grafting method.

If metal itself has no spirit, then graft it into the metal and transform it yourself.

"It's just that other blacksmiths without souls can't become blacksmiths, but that doesn't affect me. As long as I can become a blacksmith in the spirit forging system, that's fine."

"Ouch!" (It hurts!)

"Be good, don't move around, I'll be as gentle as possible."

"Ouch!" (It still hurts!)

"Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."

Su Ming slammed the hammer down on the metal.

Dou San is already on his quest for knowledge. Taking advantage of his recent apprenticeship, he asked Zhen Hua about the origins of blacksmiths and why there was no blacksmith system in the past.

Zhenhua truly deserves to be called a master craftsman.

Heavenly Forging involves the realm of laws, and through repeated Heavenly Forging, he has gained an understanding of the essence of how forging can develop.

"The laws of the Douluo Continent inherently possess a special ability to nurture. All things have spirits and the potential to become soul beasts. However, 20,000 years ago, these laws were still very primitive. With the development over the next 20,000 years, especially after Lingbing Douluo created the soul spirit system 10,000 years ago, the influence of soul masters propelled the laws of spirits, making them more perfect and spreading to more fields. Among them, the biggest beneficiaries were us blacksmiths, because the development of soul tools had reached a bottleneck at that time, and the demand for materials became increasingly urgent, which led to the emergence of the forging system. Many other fields also benefited from this process, such as artificial soul spirits, which also reaped some of the benefits of the times."

Su Ming from Dou San asked again: Was it possible to achieve spirit forging 20,000 years ago?

"It's possible. All things have spirits, and the laws have always existed, only to varying degrees. Even without blacksmiths, there are rock and metal-type soul beasts in nature. Before they transform into soul beasts, their original forms are favored by the laws of the spirit and can be used for spirit forging."

Is there a universal method? Can it be done by grafting the spirit of another life?

"Haha, how is that possible? Unless someone possessed a soul 20,000 years ago, there might be a sliver of hope. Otherwise, how could the spirit of a living being be so easily grafted onto metal?"

Can the spirit of a soul truly be grafted?

"Of course, the blacksmith originally developed the spirit forging system in conjunction with his own soul."

"."

With Su Ming from the third stage of the Dou family acting as a middleman, Su Ming from the first stage of the Dou family forged while receiving guidance from a divine craftsman from ten thousand years in the future.

"Wow~" (It feels different now~)

Su Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

Xiao Jin's reaction undoubtedly tells Su Ming that his spirit is already adapting to the metal.

He continued swinging the hammer.

boom!

boom!

With each swing of the hammer, Xiao Jin's roars grew lighter and lighter, even developing a sense of pleasure towards the end.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" (So satisfying!)

Su Ming understood the meaning from the mental fluctuations emanating from Xiao Jin, knowing that Xiao Jin was now experiencing the feeling of his soul being nurtured.

His spirit has merged into the metal, and as the spirit of the metal, it is being forged by Su Ming and guided to become stronger!

Soon, Su Ming himself also sensed the spirituality within the metal.

This spirituality is different from Xiao Jin's. It was initially covered by Xiao Jin's spirituality, but then it slowly grew and became more obvious.

"Xiao Jin, you can withdraw now."
