Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 391 Mirror of the Mortal World: That's amazing, I understand everything now.

Even Chen Ping hadn't expected that this kind of forging effect, which could only be achieved by a Saint-grade blacksmith, would be born from his hands.

But looking at the recoilless hammer with two attribute effects in his hand, Chen Ping smiled and then struck the meteorite iron ingot in front of him with even greater force, which had already been refined to a saint-grade level.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One terrifying explosion after another echoed from the top floor downwards.

For a moment, even the best-soundproofed laboratory at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy couldn't completely block out Chen Ping's terrifying knocking sounds.

Half an hour later, Lin Jiayi stood in front of the laboratory door with a hesitant look on his face, unsure whether he should force open the door of Chen Ping's laboratory.

Based on the reactions from several laboratories, the loud explosions in Chen Ping's lab have completely disrupted their experiments.

Lin Jiayi was well aware that the teachers in the lab weren't just making things up.

Even just standing in front of the laboratory door, he could already feel the explosive sound of hammer blows striking his skull.

Who could resist such a domineering voice?
Incredibly domineering, incredibly violent!
As the violent smashing sounds inside the laboratory began to increase rapidly over time, Lin Jiayi felt as if his head was about to be shattered.

Just then, Jing Hongchen's figure appeared in Lin Jiayi's peripheral vision.

This chubby little old man has lost a lot of hair this year.

Another large amount of strategic materials were stolen, and the attempt to suppress dissidents and seize the spoils failed. Jing Hongchen felt that his luck was starting to run out and he was aging very quickly.

Although Chen Ping didn't cause any other trouble in the second half of the semester, that didn't stop Jing Hongchen from looking worried.

The reason is simple: the four level-nine soul masters of Mingde Hall have been huddled together for another year, still unable to figure out how Chen Ping made that piece of thousand-refined metal that Xiao Hongchen brought back.

To this end, Jing Hongchen would even go out for drinks with Qian Duoduo every few days, hoping to subtly find out the true method of making Thousand-Refined Metal from him.

However, Qian Duoduo is a different kind of person; he has a person's mind on his mind.

To avoid being tricked into revealing information by Jing Hongchen, Qian Duoduo didn't learn the Thousand Forging Technique from Chen Ping at all, and only let Xian Lin'er learn it from him.

Therefore, Jing Hongchen's attempts to extract information from Qian Duoduo every few days were purely a case of throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man.

That's why, when Jing Hongchen heard Lin Jiayi say that Chen Ping seemed to be renovating in the laboratory, making a lot of noise that made it impossible for the laboratory downstairs to hold classes, she immediately realized that Chen Ping might be trying to make special metals.

"Xiao Lin, as the saying goes, in times of emergency, one must act expediently. Several students in the labs downstairs have already ruined several core magic arrays because of the commotion Chen caused."

"Considering the other students' normal classes, we should pry open the door first and go in to remind Chen."

Jing Hongchen took a deep breath, his face showing a helpless expression, but the hand he waved with a hint of excitement had already revealed his true intentions.

Huo Yuhao's act of using his mental detection to steal blueprints from Mingde Hall was rather unethical.

But it's clear that if Jing Hongchen were given a chance, he wouldn't give up the possibility of stealing the Thousand Forging Technique.

Jing Hongchen subconsciously turned her head to look at the stairs behind her, making sure that Qian Duoduo was unaware of what was happening here. She quickly stepped forward and, together with Lin Jiayi, began to forcibly cut the alloy bolt on the laboratory door.

The sounds of them cutting through the gate were completely drowned out by Chen Ping's violent pounding. Neither Ji Juechen nor Chen Ping knew anything about what was happening outside.

"Open! Open! Open the hall master's gate!"

Lin Jiayi pushed the laboratory door open forcefully, making it completely open.

Jing Hongchen, on the other hand, wished he could just beat Lin Jiayi to death. "You just open the door, what am I supposed to see or learn?"
Sure enough, the laboratory door suddenly opened. Feeling the change in light beneath his feet, Ji Juechen subconsciously turned his head and saw Lin Jiayi looking excited, and Jing Hongchen staring intently at Chen Ping's movements.

However, Jing Hongchen was destined to be disappointed. Just before he opened the door, Chen Ping's forging was nearing completion. A clear, indescribable sword cry rang out.

It was as if a peerless sword had been born at this wonderful moment.

"Old Ji, let's bleed one last time!"

Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Ji Juechen did not hesitate to cut his palm, letting the blood drip onto the red-hot metal.

The moment the blood came into contact with the hot metal, a cloud of blood mist rose up, but strangely, the blood mist did not dissipate, but was completely absorbed by the metal.

The entire laboratory fell silent for a moment, then the metal emitted a blinding light. Chen Ping seized this fleeting opportunity and swung the hammer with all his might for the final blow.

"clang------"

This crisp sound was unlike any previous forging; the sound waves created visible ripples in the air.

The patterns on the metal surface suddenly came to life, like a swirling galaxy or a myriad of swords returning to their origin.

An invisible shockwave emanated from the forging table, causing the tools in the laboratory to clang loudly.

A thousand forgings imbue it with spirit, ten thousand forgings give life to it—Spirit Forging!
The first piece of spirit-forged metal in the history of Douluo Continent was born in an ordinary laboratory of the Sun Moon Empire.

Before Ji Juechen stood the meteorite iron sword, forged by spirit forging. Layers of light and dark patterns overlapped, resembling ripples of water or a frozen nebula.

Although the sword is composed of only white patterns and a black blade, the moment you see this greatsword, it is as dazzling as seeing an entire galaxy.

Chen Ping looked thoughtfully at the recoilless hammer in his hand, made of deep-sea silver forged from a thousand layers. With a thought, it vanished without a trace!

Spirit Forging, connected by life.

Clearly, while completing the spiritual forging of Ji Juechen's meteorite iron sword, the forging hammer in his hand also completed its spiritual forging, which allowed it to be integrated into his palm and disappear, as if it were an extension of his body.

Once the level of Spirit Forging is reached, the metal comes to life and develops the precious attribute of being able to merge with its creator.

It was for this reason that Chen Ping, having successfully stored the forging hammer inside his body, raised his head and looked at Jing Hongchen and Lin Jiayi with a half-smile.

"Master Jing, Director Lin, what brings you two here together? Have you found Professor Mo Fang?"

All that was seen was the final hammer blow Chen Ping delivered during the forging process, and the expression on Jing Hongchen's face as he bled the sword—a mixture of excitement and regret.

But when Jing Hongchen saw that Ji Juechen had followed suit and put the newly forged greatsword, which had a beautiful metallic luster on its blade, into his body, Jing Hongchen was completely unsettled.

Got it, the case is solved!
Jing Hongchen's heart was filled with cheers, jubilation, and shouts!
So it turns out that Shrek Academy's creation of their thousand-forged metal requires bloodshed!
Only by shedding enough blood can one create thousand-refined metal. I see, I see!
Given Ji Juechen's physical condition, his face is already deathly pale. It seems that Shrek Academy's special metal really is quite ineffective against people.

Jing Hongchen's mind was filled with thoughts, but his face remained calm: "Oh dear, Director Lin and I were worried that you might hurt yourself while making the soul tool and that it would affect the laboratory downstairs, so we had no choice but to open the laboratory door to remind you."

"Now that your experiment is over, Jiayi and I won't bother you any longer."

Jing Hongchen's feelings at this moment can only be described as ecstatic.

He drank with Qian Duoduo for several months, and all he learned from the other man was that this special metal was called Thousand-Refined Metal.

Even if they repeatedly press the metal with machine tools a thousand or ten thousand times, the rare metals they produce still do not possess the characteristics of metals that have been forged a thousand times.

I never expected this!

Jing Hongchen was overjoyed. So the secret to making thousand-refined metal was that simple. Spying on Chen Ping's experiment this time was a huge win!
