Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 248 Invitation

Su Ming was not overly upset.

It's just that the technology wasn't made public before it was discovered.

However, he has no obligation to make it public.

Without offering any explanation to the various factions, Su Ming's simple action silenced everyone.

The Forging Masters Association clearly states that those who master the "Thousand Forgings with Spirit" technique and achieve a 30% success rate in forging to the highest grade can learn the Spirit Forging technique.

If the success rate of spirit forging reaches 20%, the fusion forging technique can be learned.

Mastering the three spiritual forging methods allows one to apply for Soul Forging technology.

Want to learn?

If the technology is available, of course you can learn it.

It was only after Su Ming revealed this technical learning sequence that the blacksmiths realized that spirit alloys were actually of a higher grade than spirit-forged metals.

"Is your setup really reasonable?" Even Poison Undying couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, teacher. I developed all these techniques, so of course I know which ones are more difficult," Su Ming said. "Learning fusion forging before experiencing the mysteries of spirit forging will only be a waste of time and effort, unless you really can't meet the hard requirements of spirit forging."

The prerequisites for learning Fusion Forging are lower, but this only means that the soul power requirement is lower, not that the technical difficulty is lower.

The properties of rare metals are not so simple to combine. Without a deep understanding of the spirituality of different rare metals and without truly creating a life corresponding to a rare metal, one will lose some of the added benefits out of thin air.

Just like the enhancement of the will of a plane, different rare metals also have a special connection.

The Blue Silver Emperor can use its own soul power to transform ordinary Blue Silver Grass into a soul beast Blue Silver Grass.

Similarly, if you have completed Spirit Forging of Sinking Silver, then when forging Sinking Silver metal, as long as the spirituality of the Sinking Silver itself has not reached the level of Spirit Forging, then your aura during the forging process will attract it, intimidate it, and make it more obedient and docile.

"Forget it, I don't understand these things either." Poison Undying waved his hand.

He is now more concerned about the Soul Forged Battle Armor that Su Ming mentioned.

"This piece of soul-forged metal has a noticeable effect on me, but it's still far from enough. If I can't fully activate the spiritual energy within it, I probably won't be able to use it for my own purposes."

"So, teacher, your battle armor will depend on your soul guidance technology. My forging is already sufficient," Su Ming said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll wait a bit longer."

Su Ming sighed inwardly.

He also wanted to use the mecha manufacturing technology of Dou San to create the Three-Word Battle Armor, but the problem was that his level was not up to standard.

He has now completed the creation of a relatively good two-word battle armor array, but he is not yet able to inscribe the top-level two-word battle armor array.

During the first battle, the battle armor he made for Zhu Jiuyang was only at a passable level in terms of magic arrays, but the materials used were top-grade spirit forging materials.

Su Ming can solve the problem of the materials for the poison-resistant battle armor, but the technology can only be developed by Su Can.

In fact, Su Can recruited people in Mingde Hall after the Battle Soul Tournament ended, and started the Battle Armor Formation research project.

"It shouldn't be too slow."

Su Ming has already passed on the level of technology he is capable of to Su Can. He has the foundation of the core formations of one-word battle armor and simple two-word battle armor, as well as the design ideas of the three-word battle armor formation he provided. With the help of the best level nine soul masters in Mingde Hall today, they should be able to master it in a short time.

"Oh right, Xuan Ziwen is only an eighth-level Soul Master. I need to go and invite him."

Xuan Ziwen is capable of creating the Extreme Ice War God Armor, so his talent in the field of battle armor is not weak.

Xuan Ziwen Research Lab.

"Are you looking for me?"

Xuan Ziwen was unprepared for Su Ming's arrival.

He stopped his research and led Su Ming to a private research room.

"I would like to invite you to join my grandfather's research project."

"Doukai?"

Xuan Ziwen clearly knew about this project.

Su Can initially gathered only level nine soul masters, but lower-level soul masters could also join, though they all had to apply. Only level nine soul masters were formally invited. If Xuan Ziwen applied, he could certainly join the project, but he wasn't interested.

"Researcher Xuan may have a misunderstanding about battle armor. Battle armor was not developed for war."

Su Ming understood Xuan Ziwen, so he took the initiative to explain.

"Unlike humanoid soul tools, battle armor was developed to enhance soul masters."

"Isn't that still for the sake of war?"

Strengthening our power is for the purpose of war.

“The continent has been divided for too long. The development of both the Soul Master world and the Soul Guidance field has been constrained by the situation on the continent.” Su Ming said, “I know Researcher Xuan’s theory, which is to develop Soul Guidance Devices that can benefit ordinary people. But you have to know that with the current situation on the continent, even if Soul Guidance Technology could really benefit ordinary people, it would not be able to be truly applied.”

Without a unified mainland, the issue of people's livelihood will never be the top priority.

Xuan Ziwen fell silent.

"Furthermore, you can also understand the research on battle armor as the application of spirituality in spiritual metals. I think spirituality is enough to solve many of your problems," Su Ming said.

A hint of doubt flashed in Xuan Ziwen's eyes.

"Even if the existence of spirituality can reduce the soul power requirement of soul tools, spiritual metals are not something ordinary people can handle, right?"

Su Ming smiled.

“Spiritual metals cannot be given to ordinary people, but more advanced soul tools made from spiritual metals can better assist in the creation of ordinary soul tools.”

He pointed to the equipment inside the room.

"Aren't these all used to assist Soul Masters in their research? Spiritual metals will certainly be able to further assist Soul Masters in their research."

Xuan Ziwen was eventually persuaded by Su Ming to join Su Can's research project.

Prince's Mansion.

"Su Ming invited Xuan Ziwen to join the battle armor research?"

Xu Tianran put the memorial in his hand aside and looked up at Ju Zi, who was kneeling in front of him.

His eyes were full of exhaustion.

Recently, he has taken over all the power from the old emperor, and his workload has increased dramatically.

Last time, the Holy Spirit Cult attacked the Sun Moon Royal Team before the Soul Fighting Tournament, forcing Xu Tianran to make a choice. He had no choice and the situation dragged on. The Holy Spirit Cult continued to cause destruction in various places, and the two sides almost broke off relations.

However, this is not without its advantages for him.

At least in the process of organizing the fight against the evil spirit masters in various places, he gradually gained control over those areas.

"Battle armor is absolutely a groundbreaking invention and the key to the empire's fight against the Holy Spirit Cult." Xu Tianran's eyes narrowed slightly.

If he could suppress the Holy Spirit Cult with sheer strength, he certainly wouldn't back down.

Therefore, he strongly supports the research on battle armor.

"The elderly people in the ancestral hall should also come out and make some contributions."

"Kong Deming has brought five level-nine Soul Masters from the Hall of Worship to join the Battle Armor project?"

With the addition of Xuan Ziwen, Kong Deming, and five level-nine soul masters from the Hall of Offerings, the research progress of battle armor technology can be greatly accelerated.

This is obviously a good thing.

Su Ming's only worry was that Kong Deming would seize power.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

"Fortunately, Grandpa is still the one in charge."

The key to the Battle Armor project is the presence of spirit metals, since the core of the research is the spirituality of spirit metals. Therefore, Su Can is the one with the most say in this project.

Two days later, Su Ming personally sponsored three pieces of spirit-forged metal for the battle armor project.
