Douluo: Dominating Douluo begins with summoning Kong Deming

Chapter 207 Zhenhua Displays His Power, Preparations for Forging Battle Armor
After saying that, Lou Gao immediately gave up the position of the forging table.

"Hey, this is interesting."

Despite the towering building's provocation, Zhenhua remained completely unfazed.

"I won't take advantage of you, let's use this forging hammer."

Zhenhua casually picked up a somewhat worn-out forging hammer from the forging table.

This forging hammer looks like it's almost beyond repair.

As is well known, a good forging hammer has a great impact on a forging craftsman.

Otherwise, how could Tang Hao have become a master craftsman?

Zhenhua looked around and then casually picked up a piece of metal from a pile of scrap.

"Such a large piece of tungsten metal is just sitting in the scrap yard; it's such a waste."

Weighing the tungsten steel, which was about the size of a baby's head, Zhenhua showed a regretful expression.

"What do you know?"

Lou Gao, standing nearby, couldn't help but say.

"This piece of tungsten steel contains a great many other impurities and is extremely difficult to forge, which is why it was placed in the scrap area."

You're saying I don't understand?

Zhenhua raised an eyebrow.

"If you can't even remove impurities from metal, what kind of blacksmith are you? You might as well go home and take care of your kids!"

After saying that, Zhenhua didn't wait for Lou Gao to continue refuting, and reached out to grip the forging hammer and smashed it down on the tungsten on the forging table.

boom!
The crisp sound of hammering echoed in the forging room, silencing Lou Gao's mouth.

As the saying goes, an expert will know if something is there as soon as he makes a move.

With just that one blow, Lou Gao witnessed Zhenhua's skill.

boom!
Zhenhua flicked his wrist and brought the hammer down again.

This hammer blow may seem casual, but its placement was precise and accurate!
Immediately, Zhenhua's speed suddenly increased.

The forging hammer fell continuously at an extremely fast, yet very regular speed.

Under the hammer blows, the jet-black tungsten steel turned from its original black color to a bright red.

Impurities are continuously released during the tapping process.

Lou Gao stared in disbelief at Zhenhua's actions.

Metal can be forged like this?
He was breathing heavily, his eyes almost glued to every moment the forging hammer fell.

When a hammer falls.

In an instant, the entire piece of tungsten steel suddenly burst forth with a jet-black light.

The onlookers were suddenly startled.

The originally hard metal surface began to ripple like water, slowly forming a strange pattern.

A sense of weight and hardness, visible to the naked eye, emanated from the tungsten steel.

"That's about it. This forging hammer can only bring this tungsten steel to the level of a thousand forgings."

Zhenhua stopped what he was doing, and the forging hammer in his hand shattered in an instant.

"Take a look, how does my skill compare to yours?"

Zhenhua casually tossed the tungsten steel on the forging table to Lou Gao.

Lou Gao didn't care about anything else, but his expression changed the moment he caught the tungsten steel.

This piece of tungsten steel is actually 20% heavier than it was before it was forged!

"Incredible skill! Incredible skill!"

Lou Gao carefully examined the tungsten steel in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He had never seen anyone purify metals to this extent, not even himself.

"Senior, how did you forge the metal into this shape?"

"Why is this tungsten steel heavier than before it was forged?"

Unexpectedly, Lou Gao directly bowed to Zhenhua in a grand manner.

This is a person who sees forging as everything.

"Get up quickly!"

Zhenhua quickly helped Lou Gao up.

"This is the thousand-forging technique, which can give metal special properties."

Zhenhua explained casually.

"Tungsten steel is characterized by its hardness and weight, so after my thousand forgings, these properties of tungsten steel are enhanced."

"Thousand Refinements? A special characteristic?"

These were all new terms to Lou Gao. "In the world of forging, those who have mastered it are teachers. I am willing to become your apprentice and ask you to pass on your forging skills to me."

Lou Gao held Zhenhua tightly, afraid that he would disappear if he let go.

"Alright, Senior Lou Gao, please stop for a moment."

Ye Ling, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to stop Lou Gao, who was getting agitated.

He could understand Lou Gao's pursuit of forging technology.

But you should at least be mindful of the impact.

"Young Master..."

Lou Gao was about to say something, but Ye Ling interrupted him by waving his hand.

“Senior Zhenhua, the largest forging capital and major source of rare metals on the continent is Gengjin City.”

Ye Ling looked at Zhen Hua.

“Perfect timing, the City of Gengjin is now within our sphere of influence.”

"You will return to the City of Gengjin with Senior Lou Gao and pass on your forging techniques to others."

After a pause, Ye Ling continued.

"Of course, your most important task is to find rare metals and help me forge a suit of battle armor."

Upon hearing this, a troubled look flashed across Lou Gao's face.

“Young Master, the forging of battle armor requires the participation of the Soul Master himself.”

"Only in this way can it be completely integrated with the Soul Master's Martial Soul and body."

Ye Ling was taken aback; he had almost forgotten about this.

He pointed to himself and asked somewhat uncertainly.

"So I also need to learn forging?"

To be honest, Ye Ling didn't want to learn this at all.

forging?
He doesn't have Tang family blood!
Blacksmithing is an ancestral skill passed down only by the Tang family.

From Tang Hao, the first generation of the Tang family who hybridized with a soul beast, to Tang Xuan Yu, the oviparous humanoid evil soul master.

Each of them was wielding a sledgehammer, looking every bit the master craftsman.

Ye Ling really didn't want to get involved with the side businesses of these strange people.

"The young master doesn't have to learn forging."

Zhenhua quickly replied.

"However, the metal used to forge the battle armor for the young master needs to be nourished with the young master's blood."

Ye Ling nodded upon hearing this.

Only in this way is it logical.

Otherwise, you can't expect to learn forging just because you have battle armor, right?

"That's easy. Once you've found the metal, you can return to the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"Whenever you need it, and however much blood you require, you can come to me anytime."

Ye Ling nodded to Zhenhua and then looked up at the building.

"Senior Lou Gao, I'm afraid your wish to stay at Butian Pavilion for a long time will have to be put on hold for now."

"Your mission after returning to Gengjin City with Senior Zhenhua is to help him find all the metals he wants."

"At all costs, if you encounter difficulties, you can seek help from Elder Jin or the Butian Chamber of Commerce."

There's no way around it; rare metals are just too scarce in the Douluo Continent.

Obtaining enough rare metals to forge a full set of battle armor is probably not as easy as Ye Ling thought.

"Yes, Young Pavilion Master."

The two bowed to Ye Ling at the same time.

"Elder Kong, what's the current status of that near-level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell?"

Ye Ling asked Kong Deming, who hadn't spoken until now.

Kong Deming looked somewhat embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered.

"We can still control this soul-guided projectile, but we can't determine its location."

"It's as if... it's as if this soul-guided cannonball was hidden in a specially protected place."

"A place with special protection?"

Ye Ling's gaze also turned somewhat unpleasant.

He knew all too well the power of a near-level nine soul-guided cannon shell.
