Douluo: Son of the Stars

Chapter 44 Forging and Advancement
Because the streets in Xingrui City are wide, the main roads are separated on both sides of the road, and street lamps and soul guides are placed. In addition, various conspicuous large screens are added, and the night is also brightly lit and colorful.

Therefore, in order to solve the energy consumption problem of converting soul power into electricity, Tong Rui connected an energy storage and soul gathering magic circle at the end of each line.

The energy storage and soul gathering formation is a formation that has existed in Douluo Continent since ancient times. It was originally created to attract and gather soul power, but later it was discovered that simply increasing soul power only made it easier to capture soul power, and it did not mean an increase in soul power absorption, so this useless formation has always been circulated.

Based on the characteristics of the Tianxing Vine Beads, Tong Rui combined the magic array with the soul guide array, so that the magic array can absorb sunlight, moonlight, and starlight to transform them into soul power, and then transform the soul power into a large amount of electricity to supply the city.

Because the terminal is set up in the Xingchen Sect, there is no need to worry about the energy source being destroyed by outsiders.

With this holiday, Tong Rui did not stay in school, but prepared to call Dugu Bo to visit the two major families.

Because he was busy with the development of his own city and sect, Tong Rui had not yet completed the manufacture of the battle armor after Dugu Bo sent him the armor design drawings.

So this time Tong Rui plans to create two-character battle armor for his parents and Dugu Bo together.

Regarding forging, Tong Rui finally made further progress. He could now spiritually forge metals and even spiritually forge alloys with ease.

In fact, the improvement of soul guides has also indirectly led to the improvement of forging, because ordinary forged metals are difficult to carry high-level soul guide arrays, and rare metals are also rare, so when Tong Rui started to manufacture fourth-level soul guides, he had already started using thousand-forged metals for engraving.

So during a forging process, Tong Rui suddenly had an idea: what would happen if he used Starry Sky Wushuang during the forging process?
Since the spirituality of metal forces them not to take the step of becoming spiritual, he will use his mental power to force them to enter the spiritual forging state.

The fighting skill "Stars Unparalleled" was a self-created soul skill that Tong Rui created by chance when he advanced to the Lingyuan Realm using a combination of mental power and soul power. It contained his feeling of being able to control the stars at will in the spiritual world.

Therefore, by using mental power, treating the metal as a star, controlling it through mental power and giving it spiritual energy, it can be forced into the state of spiritual forging.

With the spirit-forged metal, the two-word battle armor is no longer a problem. Over the past year, under Tong Rui's suggestion, his parents have learned the relevant knowledge about soul guides together.

Although they learned almost all of it based on the knowledge of soul guides compiled by Tong Rui, with their powerful soul power and mental strength, these low-level soul guides were not difficult for them at all.

Therefore, in the design of the battle armor, the carved magic arrays were created jointly by them and Tong Rui, so that in the future, when it comes to upgrading the battle armor, they will be able to get started faster and resonate with their martial spirits more easily.

The battle armor made for his father Tong Qingtian is almost a replica of Tong Rui's own. However, because Tong Rui needs to carry twin martial spirits at the same time, the design of the armor is also particularly laborious.

The mother's side was even more extravagant, because it included a piece of life gold that Tong Rui obtained unexpectedly.

This piece of metal was only the size of a thumb, and Tong Rui did not recognize what kind of metal it was at first. Until one day, Tong Rui tried to use his second soul skill on all metals in order to awaken the spirituality of metal.

At that time, this small piece of gold of life absorbed all the life force that was guided out, and Tong Rui also became curious about it. In the end, because he could not find any relevant description, he named it gold of life according to his own impression.

Although it was only a small piece, it was enough to be melted into the chest armor. The spiritual alloy forged with the gold of living beings was the best among the best for a healing soul saint like Mo Yun.

After Tong Rui forged the metal alloy for 7 consecutive days, he finally forged the Spiritual Forging Alloy used by the three people and the Thousand Forging Alloy used by himself. However, the first thing Tong Rui did after coming out of seclusion was to retreat.

With the continuous forging, the medicinal power accumulated in the body began to merge at an accelerated speed. After a year of hard work, Tong Rui had broken through the level 50 mark.

The reason for the retreat was to carefully feel how the fourth soul skill - Long Steps to Divinity would grant him a soul ring.

After all, when it comes to soul rings, there are only three ways. The first is to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings of the corresponding age; the second is the soul method ten thousand years later, to obtain the innate skills of the corresponding soul beast by fusing souls.

The last one is the method of condensing soul rings that Tong Rui believes his fourth soul skill can simulate, that is, the God-given soul ring.

Tong Rui believes that the composition of soul rings is nothing more than a more advanced soul guide array.

The soul ring that a soul beast condenses after its death may be its innate skill condensed into a special magic circle through soul power.

If I can figure out the formation principle of soul rings through the fourth soul skill, then can I also artificially create soul rings, or even have the skills needed to customize soul rings?
You should know that this is not a fantasy. The Soul Pagoda can create an artificial soul of ten thousand years old with the help of Gu Yuena. This proves that spirit rings, which are one level lower than souls, can also be artificially created.

If one could customize spirit rings, then it would be easier to obtain spirit rings within the sect in the future. Not only would they be more suitable for one's martial spirit, but it would also be a means of circulation across the continent.

Just like the Spirit Pagoda, it can record the spirit skills of all spirit masters, understand the strengths and weaknesses of almost all spirit masters, and facilitate the acquisition of news and intelligence from the entire continent.

Only by making the sect stronger and being able to preserve its advantages forever can the possibility of failure in the future be reduced.

As night fell, brilliant golden light descended from every star to Tong Rui. As the starlight transformed, soul power began to gather on the star disk, and then a pure white halo spread out.

As the star power filled up, mysterious runes emerged from the Star Disk Martial Soul and merged into the white halo one by one. As the star power gathered, a hint of light yellow slowly emerged above the white halo.

As the soul ring advanced over a hundred years, the speed of advancement also increased rapidly. As the yellow color gradually deepened, a light purple color began to gradually cover the entire ring.

Time passed quickly, and it took only a thousand years to complete one night. During the day, the soul ring still did not stop changing, but no matter how you looked at it, you could clearly feel that the speed had slowed down.

In this way, after 21 days of repetition, a spirit ring as black as ink finally stabilized.

This is actually a soul ring that is 21,000 years old!
The soul ring was absorbed into his body along with his martial soul, and Tong Rui opened his eyes. Bright starlight appeared in his eyes and then disappeared.

After calculating the time of retreat, Tong Rui had no choice but to sigh, as it was time to go back to school.
