Chapter 113 Birds of a Feather (Please Subscribe!!!)
"No, teacher, I won't be a senior student anymore."

Ning Tianya shuddered and shook his head vigorously.

His vacant gaze gradually returned as he looked at Zhu Jiuyang.

"Teacher, so the forging system was really created by my senior brother?"

Ning Tianya had basically never believed it before.

Now he's starting to believe it.

This is ridiculous! Su Ming's soul is way beyond the limit. How monstrous must he be?
It seems acceptable for someone to develop a forging system at the age of eleven?
"You're even questioning your senior brother now." Zhu Jiuyang sneered and said, "Let me put it this way, from the beginning of Spirit Infusion, all the new technologies related to forging were developed by your senior brother. I've been learning from your senior brother all along. Do I need to explain that to you?"

He didn't feel ashamed to talk about learning from his apprentice.

Some time ago, he realized that he had begun to fall behind, and the skills of his apprentices were no longer keeping up with the development needs of the association.

Indeed, even Contra-level strength is somewhat lacking. When the association needs reinforcements, it seems that it's always Chen Xin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who steps in...

Zhu Jiuyang was somewhat helpless about this.

Desperate cultivation?

Who's keeping an eye on that association?

Should this be left to someone else?
Huo Lie is ultimately a Soul Master, and he hasn't made much progress in the field of blacksmithing. At the same time, his strength is negligible in the current Blacksmith Association. Zhu Jiuyang is a Soul Douluo. Although he can't exert his strength in dealing with external threats, he at least has the ability to connect with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and other major forces, and can handle things.

He possesses the highest soul power within the association, coupled with his impressive background, which is key to the association's continued independence in the short term.

"The key now is to help Xiaoming manage the association well. As for cultivation, we can only squeeze it out from our spare time."

Su Ming needs to cultivate diligently, so Zhu Jiuyang and Duan Jin will be responsible for teaching him the Spirit Infusion Technique and the Thousand Refinements Spirit Skill, which will reduce a lot of pressure on Su Ming.

But it's impossible to completely prevent Su Ming from showing up.

If Su Ming is not given a chance to show his face, what kind of new blacksmith will be cultivated?
Yes, it will be the same Ning Tianya from before.

Having been a member of the association for a year, he's still questioning the authenticity of Su Ming's creation of the forging system!
No, it's even worse. It's not just a matter of questioning; they simply never believed it and completely ignored it.

Zhu Jiuyang could reprimand Ning Tianya himself, but he wanted Su Ming to step in and make Ning Tianya respect Su Ming from the bottom of his heart. Then Zhu Jiuyang would teach Ning Tianya more detailed and complicated forging techniques.

In the future, Zhu Jiuyang will take on the teaching tasks of some genius blacksmiths who may inherit the Thousand Forging with Spirit technique, so as to reduce the pressure on Su Ming. However, he will not allow these potential future pillars to disregard Su Ming's status.

Forging room.

Su Ming waited quietly.

He simply sent Xiao Jin to cooperate with Zhu Jiuyang in this way, knowing that the results would come soon.

Although I say I don't have time, I actually do have some time.

However, compared to taking action himself, Xiao Jin is more intimidating.

Most importantly, he wasn't prepared to reveal his three purple soul rings to the outside world.

The impact of those three purple spirit rings was simply too exaggerated.

His eyes flickered slightly as he looked towards the doorway.

Xiao Jin pushed the door open and came in. Ning Tianya looked into the room and saw Su Ming, who was 'thinking', walking over with his head down.

"I'm sorry, senior brother."

Little Gold transformed into a beam of light and merged into Su Ming's body.

Su Ming learned about the battle from Xiao Jin and was amazed by Xiao Jin's ability to show off.

"It's good that you know you made a mistake. I heard from your teacher that you successfully imbued the spirit in five tries?"

When questioned by Su Ming, Ning Tianya described the feeling he had when he was imbued with spirit, recalling the process of feeling the spirit extinguish, and how he successfully imbued the spirit five times.

Su Ming understood.

That explains it. By sheer chance, the spirit infusion was completed easily and directly.

This is actually quite easy to accept.

What is spirit empowerment?
Imbuing with spirits is merely the first step in learning the forging system, a step that even Dou San doesn't require preparation for.

Mastering the art of spirit infusion is merely standing at the starting line of forging; it doesn't mean one has truly achieved anything in forging yet.

Once imbued with spirit, rare metals possess basic spirituality and can begin to be forged. Forging techniques are used to fuse the spirituality with the rare metal, guiding the awakening of the rare metal's spirituality.

Only after completing the latter can one be considered to have mastered the Thousand Refinements of Spirit.

"Keep studying hard for the Thousand Refinements of Spirit. This step is not easy. After you successfully complete the first Thousand Refinements of Spirit, I will have Little Golden Hand guide your fingers for a day."

"Roar?"

(Why?)

Su Ming made a small promise to Ning Tianya on behalf of Xiao Jin.

Give a big stick and a sweet date.

Ning Tianya looked at him with suspicion.

"Your senior brother's forging skills are second to none in the entire association, and Xiao Jin's skills are third to none in the association," Zhu Jiuyang casually remarked.

Ning Tianya looked shocked.

Soul?

forging?
Does my senior brother's soul also possess the art of forging?
If Senior Jin were to give him some pointers, would Old Bao be able to learn forging in the same way?

If you can
Ning Tianya started chuckling foolishly.

That way, he could continue to study forging, forge spirit metals, and then sell them for money.

How valuable are spirit metals?

Ning Tianya didn't know how much other forces could offer; he only knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could offer between 10,000 and 50,000 gold soul coins.

After resolving Ning Tianya's matter, the association got back on track.

No one bothered Su Ming anymore.

Zhu Jiuyang was in charge of guiding Ning Tianya in learning the Thousand Forgings of Spirit, while Duan Jin served as the instructor, teaching the basic techniques.

Thus, the entire association had Su Ming as its legend, Zhu Jiuyang to oversee all affairs and manage all aspects of the association's operation in an orderly manner, and Duan Jin as the instructor of basic techniques.

Their faction became the core of the entire association.

Of course, this stable development did not last long. About a month later, news finally came from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Ning Feng sent a message saying that the Tian Dou royal family was interested in cooperating with the association.

Zhu Jiuyang summoned Su Ming and told him the news.

"The Tiandou royal family is preparing to send Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to personally negotiate cooperation with us, and has initially agreed to let us establish a second blacksmith association in Soto City."

"That's great. Shall we head to the Tian Dou territory?" Su Ming asked.

The Blacksmith Association is located in Gengxin City, which is within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. Will Xue Qinghe risk entering this area?
"No, to show our sincerity, Xue Qinghe is prepared to come to Gengxin City and cooperate with us."

Su Ming was surprised.

"Xue Qinghe is quite bold; isn't he afraid that the Star Luo Empire might ambush him beforehand?"

Although he said that, he knew in his heart that Xue Qinghe was Qian Renxue.

Is Qianrenxue afraid of being ambushed?

She might be afraid of accidentally revealing her true identity by using too many techniques when dealing with an assassination attempt.
