Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline

"Our teacher can now almost replicate the spirit forging technique, and our second senior brother has also mastered the Thousand Forging with Spirit."

Unlike Su Ming in Dou Er and Dou San, Su Ming in Dou Yi focused on forging spirit forging. After his first spirit forging, Zhu Jiuyang also started learning from his apprentice again. Now, in addition to success, he has mastered all the necessary skills.

Dou San Su Ming happened to achieve a breakthrough by forging faith during the forging process. After that, all three Su Mings were replicating the feeling at that time.

Dou Er Su Ming succeeded once.

Su Ming also succeeded twice more in this year.

In the past year, Su Ming of Dou Yi did not use any external objects such as faith, but relied purely on his forging skills to replicate the spirit forging thirty-six times!

This is an achievement that even Su Ming, who shares complete memories and thoughts with him, could not replicate in Dou Er and Dou San.

Su Ming looked at Xiao Jin, who was holding a large piece of dark silver and meditating in the forging shop, and couldn't help but smile.

Xiao Jin was the key to his success.

Of course, in the third battle, Su Ming was learning fusion forging from Zhen Hua without focusing on having Zhen Hua guide him in spirit forging, and in the second battle, Su Ming was also consolidating his fusion forging skills. These two points are also somewhat important.

Gengxin City Martial Soul Main Hall.

Miles stared at the two pieces of spirit metal in front of him, his eyes flashing, and a desire called greed burst forth from them.

"So that's what happened with this technology. No wonder the entire association underwent reforms from top to bottom, and even the title of 'Master Craftsman' was abolished."

A raging fire ignited in Miles' heart.

Can I eat this?

As a greedy platinum bishop, Miles's first thought after finally confirming the changes in the Blacksmiths' Guild was to take over the guild and control all the blacksmiths who had mastered the new forging techniques.

However, being able to reach the position of Platinum Bishop also means having the ability to weigh the pros and cons.

After a brief moment of greed, a sudden wave of fear washed over me.

“Zhu Jiuyang, this piece of spirit metal was forged by Zhu Jiuyang. On the contrary, the former master craftsman Lou Gao has no works, which proves that this technique is in Zhu Jiuyang’s hands.”

A look of apprehension flashed in Miles' eyes.

The Spirit Hall has four Platinum Bishops. Compared to positions such as the branch hall master, the Platinum Bishop is a nominal position, more of an honor, representing one's status in the Spirit Hall, but without any real power.

Salas is a true Platinum Bishop, with a soul power level of 87. He also holds the position of Hall Master of the Heavenly Dou City Martial Soul Temple, one of only two Martial Soul Temples in the capitals of the two great empires. His status and power are second only to the Pope, Elders and Venerables.

Miles, on the other hand, was only at the Soul Emperor level, yet he held the title of Platinum Bishop.

The bishop of the Spirit Hall is not a hereditary title of the Empire. Miles' ability to serve as a Platinum Bishop clearly indicates that he has made great contributions to the Spirit Hall, and he is certainly not brainless.

Of course, there's no denying that he was greedy and lustful; he truly was greedy and lustful.

Zhu Jiuyang has already reached the Contra Douluo level. Although he has not announced it to the public, Miles has learned of this from the deductions made by his subordinates.

The key is that Zhu Jiuyang's identity is extraordinary. Others may be wary of him as a Platinum Bishop, but Zhu Jiuyang is not.

If they really kill him, the Spirit Hall will probably only issue a symbolic condemnation. If the investigation finds that the problem lies with him, Miles may have to bear all the blame.

"My size is too large to swallow the current Blacksmiths Association."

Miles was somewhat annoyed.

He came to Gengxin City because he had his eye on the Blacksmiths' Association.

This is a gathering place for blacksmiths on the continent, and it can be said to be the place where armies are built. As long as all the blacksmiths here are controlled, a well-equipped army can be quickly built.

In other words, the Spirit Hall has not yet established a nation and cannot openly expand its army, so it has never been able to take over the Blacksmith Association.

But Miles had already begun making arrangements here. A Soul Emperor had suppressed the Soul Saints of the Blacksmith Association, who dared not defy him. This had already crushed the morale of the Blacksmith Association, and the Spirit Hall could take over the Blacksmith Association at any time if needed.

He originally thought he had a sure thing about getting the credit for such a big thing, but now he's being told that the meat around his mouth has become even fatter and juicier, and he can't eat it.

Miles felt as if he had eaten shit.

His face was grim as he made a difficult decision.

"Let the Papacy send someone to discuss cooperation. I'll only take credit for the discovery and the effort I put in."

Having made his decision, he sent a message to the Papal Palace.

"Speed ​​up, don't waste time. There are ten pieces of spirit metal being released at this auction, and it's hard to guarantee that other forces won't notice this place."

Miles's discovery of the spirit metal was naturally due to an auction organized by the Blacksmiths' Guild, which auctioned off a total of twelve pieces of spirit metal.

Among them, the Martial Soul Main Hall only managed to acquire two pieces of spirit-infused metal.

Miles was warned on the spot that he was not allowed to monopolize the auction, and was even made to look foolish by Zhu Jiuyang's soul power from a distance.

He could imagine that not only other forces would pay attention to this area, but the Blacksmiths' Association itself was also sending out signals and trying to attract attention.

After completing his daily forging task, Su Ming brought Xiao Jin to the Forging Masters Association.

It has been more than a year since he began to expose his soul and spirit-enchanting techniques to the outside world, and the entire association only has two new forging masters—Zhu Jiuyang and Duan Jin.

Not bad, Duan Jin.

When he and Zhu Jiuyang were learning Spirit Infusion from Su Ming, he seemed to perform poorly, but in reality, he was already very excellent. It's just that Zhu Jiuyang's foundation was too good, and he was able to force continuous forging, resulting in a high frequency of trial and error, which made Duan Jin look very dull in comparison.

In fact, Su Ming had calculated that Duan Jin failed about the same number of times as Zhu Jiuyang when completing the first spirit-enchanting operation. After completing the spirit-enchanting and continuing to forge, the number of failures to complete the full Thousand Refinements with Spirit was also not much different.

There are only three master blacksmiths so far, including Su Ming, but there are still some blacksmiths with soul spirits, more than ten in total.

Among them, the original master craftsmen and the other grandmasters except Zhu Jiuyang are still a long way from breaking through. Three of the original master craftsmen have broken through their levels. In addition, there are seven newcomers with lower forging skills.

Of the seven newcomers, four were from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the remaining three were Lou Gao's grand-disciples.

Two of the three were originally master blacksmiths. They cooperated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and obtained authorization for the Soul Spirit Array, thus absorbing Soul Spirits. The third one contributed to the association and absorbed Soul Spirits from Su Ming.

Su Ming pondered the changes in the association over the past year and secretly considered the direction of future reforms before heading towards Zhu Jiuyang's forging room.

Chapter 96 The Spirit Hall's Reaction

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 a stacked hammer for forging.

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, they would be much more wary.

"Besides the Martial Soul Main Hall, distributing ten pieces of spirit metal this time should cause quite a stir. Stay with me for now and don't 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.”
