Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect: I, Huo Yuhao, join the Sun Moon Sect.

Chapter 254 The Shocking Kong Deming
In Douluo Continent III, the status of blacksmiths has been continuously elevated due to the development of forging techniques.

Meanwhile, thanks to the efforts of the blacksmiths, batches of excellent battle armor emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and human soul masters gained even greater combat power by relying on battle armor and mechs.

Take mecha as an example. At the end of the Legend of the Gods, Di Tian said that even he could not contend with many of the top human mechas, which undoubtedly proves the power of Soul Guidance Technology.

Of course, if we follow the plot of the original work, Di Tian's strength is still very strong. So, when Di Tian said that he "could not fight against too many people", it was probably because he encountered a "righteous gang fight". Otherwise, in a one-on-one situation, even if he was piloting a mecha, there would not be many people who could fight against Di Tian.

Kong Deming looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Yuhao, can you demonstrate your forging skills for us?"

As far as I know, the people from Shrek Academy are the most skilled at forging in this world. They even use hammers to purify rare metals while making soul tools.

However, this approach has significant flaws. I'd like to see how you address those flaws.

Huo Yuhao looked at Kong Deming with some surprise. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Elder Kong, forging techniques are divided into many levels. I need to spend some time adjusting my state before I can use this technique."

Although he knew forging techniques such as hundred-fold forging, thousand-fold forging, and soul forging.

Knowing and applying are two completely different things.

The original work did not describe every single detail. He could only try forging while adjusting the details of the forging process to ensure that he could bring Dou San's forging skills to the peerless world.

Fortunately, he possesses the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, and his greatest strength lies in observing details.

Among the forging techniques of later generations, the Hundred Forging is the simplest, and it is also the forging technique for beginners.

The so-called "hundred-times forging" simply means using a specific method to swing a hammer and hammer the metal, with almost every part being hammered more than a hundred times.

Of course, simply hammering a hundred times doesn't constitute a hundred forgings. It's essential to master the force applied during the process and to better understand the texture and internal changes of the metal by observing the recoil force generated when hammering and the changes that occur within the metal.

As for Shrek's outdated hand-hammering technique, to be honest, their forging skills are at most at the level of a hundred forgings, and even at that level, their level is not very high.

To put it simply, this stage involves refining the metal through repeated hammering. As for the thousand-times-forged level, it can even give the metal some kind of emotion, which is something that Shrek people can't just hammer out.

To be honest, it's quite strange that the Shrek Academy Soul Masters in the game would use a hammer to strike rare metals to remove impurities and purify them, instead of choosing to use a specialized soul-purifying tool.

After all, since the Peerless Realm doesn't have a technique similar to Soul Forging, there's no need for them to insist on manually forging rare metals.

This behavior seems to be a tribute to Tang San, as if the ancestral laws are immutable.

However, this did indeed hinder Shrek Academy's development of soul tools.

After all, the Sun Moon Empire's method of purifying soul tools is far more efficient than Shrek Academy's artificial refining and purification method.

"Okay, Yuhao, I'll be waiting for your good news." Kong Deming showed no displeasure; he nodded and agreed.

a few days later.

Inside the blacksmith's shop, Huo Yuhao held a hammer, looked at the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in front of him, and subconsciously frowned slightly as he smelled the charcoal fire in the air.

In fact, he has mastered the art of forging in recent days.

To be honest, mastering the Hundred Forging technique is not difficult; it just requires time, and you can definitely master it.

Those with high or strong forging talent can master it more quickly. Huo Yuhao is currently a Soul King with powerful mental strength and excellent physical attributes.

It can be said that he was ahead of Tang Wulin in some aspects when he first started learning forging, after all, Tang Wulin was not strong enough at that time.

Therefore, he mastered the Hundred Forging Technique much faster than Tang Wulin. As for the Thousand Forging Technique, Huo Yuhao is currently trying it. If the Hundred Forging Technique is just a threshold, then the Thousand Forging Technique is a small transformation. If he can successfully transform, then his forging skills will improve a little more.

He lit the fire in the furnace and took the Ice Extreme God Crystal out of his storage soul tool.

Kong Deming and Xuan Ziwen walked over, both staring intently at Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, are you sure you can purify the Ice Extreme God Crystal using forging?" Kong Deming had also received the notification before leaving the laboratory and coming here again.

Otherwise, he would definitely continue to stay in the laboratory to research soul tools. Although he has become a level 10 soul tool master, his love for soul tools has not diminished.

“Of course, if it weren’t for this reason, I wouldn’t have let you and Teacher Xuan come here to witness this scene.” Huo Yuhao nodded, then lit a fire, picked up a hammer, and began to hammer the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal in front of him.

Soon, clanging sounds rang out, sparks flew, and the Ice Extreme Crystal continued to deform with each strike.

After a while, Huo Yuhao put down the hammer.

The several Ice Extreme Divine Crystals that had undergone a hundred refinements were retrieved by Huo Yuhao and placed on the stone table. Because they were of the ice attribute, they quickly returned to normal temperature.

"Master Kong, Teacher Xuan, I have finished the Hundred Refinements," Huo Yuhao said.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming quickly walked to Huo Yuhao's side.

He glanced at the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal and noticed a pile of blackish impurities nearby. He looked away from the impurities, picked up the crystal, and immediately poured his soul power into it.

Soon, he felt his soul power circulating in the Ice Extreme God Crystal without any stagnation, as if the impurities in the Ice Extreme God Crystal had been removed.

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous! Forging can be done to this extent? So many impurities were removed by Yuhao's methods in such a short time?" Kong Deming was dumbfounded.

Even his specially made purified soul tool could not achieve this level in a short time.

Therefore, he always believed that although he had successfully purified the material, he had failed in a sense due to the low efficiency.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Kong Deming's mind, and he immediately said, "By the way, Yuhao, I remember you just said that forging is divided into levels."

In other words, this so-called "hundred-times-forging" technique is not the highest level of forging skill?

Huo Yuhao said, "Elder Kong, you are right. The so-called Hundred Forging is actually just an entry-level forging technique."

There are other forging techniques, each more complex and difficult than the Hundred Forging Technique, but they can play a greater role in the creation of soul tools.

Well, anyway, Hundred Refinement is the lowest level, and it gets harder and harder as you go up.

Upon hearing this, Kong Deming's breathing became rapid. He praised with a smile, "Yuhao, you truly deserve to be called the number one genius of the Sun Moon Empire. You can even create something like forging techniques."

In my opinion, you definitely have the potential to become a god. Perhaps you could even become someone like Tang San, the Sea God, in our time.
