Douluo: Trinity, I run through the timeline.

Chapter 373 Showcase
Soul forging is not a new term in the world of Soul Masters.

However, Soul Masters know too little about Soul Forging, so much so that they have no intuitive understanding of it at all.

Apart from Su Ming and those around him, no one had ever witnessed the soul forging process. Apart from the characteristics that Su Ming had publicly revealed, soul masters were not even very clear about the properties of soul-forged metal.

Especially before today, Su Ming's disclosure of internal techniques to the Forging Masters Association was subject to certain conditions.

He did not make all the technology available to everyone free of charge.

To learn how to forge spirits, one must first learn how to imbue spirits; to learn how to imbue spirits, one must first have a soul.

Similarly, one must master the first grade of Thousand Forging before attempting Spirit Forging. Moreover, the association does not recommend directly attempting Spirit Forging. Instead, it will provide reasonable advice, suggesting that one first adjust their technique, master the first grade of Thousand Forging, and then attempt Spirit Forging.

The prerequisites for Soul Forging are even more outrageous, requiring the achievement of Fusion Forging.

Therefore, no one has ever truly inherited the Soul Forging technique.

Today, Su Ming revealed the key to Soul Forging.

Duan Lin and the other blacksmiths were all excited, staring at the figure on the stage as if on a pilgrimage.

"If Thousand Forging is to awaken the spirit of metal, and Spirit Forging is to give metal life, then Soul Forging is to give metal a legacy."

What is inheritance?

"Just like the soul skills that soul beasts are born with, the spirituality of metal also contains its own mysteries. As long as these are activated, countless possibilities can be created."

"Currently, I have been developing Soul Forging for three and a half years, and I have also made some summaries on the metallic properties of Soul Forging."

Upon hearing this, Poison Immortal, who had been secretly watching this scene, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

He felt that his apprentice had a full understanding of Soul Forging after breaking through to the Soul Forging realm for half a year.

He was truly obsessed with soul forging for those six months.

Furthermore, Su Ming's skills in soul forging were already very proficient.

At least he wouldn't die from the poison. Every time he burned Soul Forging Metal to support the second awakening of his Gold-level Martial Soul, he asked Su Ming for Soul Forging Metal again, and Su Ming no longer seemed to have any burden.

It seems like a little trinket that was given out casually.

"I would believe it if you said that Xiaoming has developed an even higher level of forging now."

"President Su Ming, I would like to ask, having broken through to the Soul Forging Realm for so many years, are you still a Level 7 Saint Craftsman? Or have you advanced to Level 8? What is the difference between Level 7 and Level 8 Saint Craftsmen?"

"Strictly speaking, there is no qualitative change in technology between the seventh-level and eighth-level master craftsmen."

Su Ming thought about it carefully for a while before giving his answer.

"The foundation of Soul Forging is Spirit Alloy, and the simplest way to give metals a legacy is to combine them with the properties of rare metals themselves. This tests the forging recipe."

"Therefore, a seventh-level master craftsman is one who can successfully forge a soul."

"The standard for an eighth-level master craftsman is much higher. He must either create more than three soul forging recipes or be able to give metal different forms of inheritance based on the current fusion and forging combination."

"I see, the forging process is for the purpose of subsequent property matching."

Duan Lin suddenly realized that he had gained a completely new perspective on forging.

The purpose of this forging technique is not to allow metal to acquire the characteristics of a Soul Master through spiritual forging at the thousand-forging level, but rather for Soul Forging.

Characteristics, integration.

To what extent must one be familiar with metals to achieve such a feat?

And what kind of mind could come up with this?
The level 5 blacksmith was amazed.

The level three and four blacksmiths looked bewildered.

The others could only say "Aba aba," indicating they didn't understand.

Of course, not understanding doesn't mean not being able to understand human language, but rather being unable to grasp the difficulty and subtlety involved.

Su Ming didn't waste any more time explaining and started forging directly. Although the difference between level seven and level eight was, as he said, whether or not one had independently researched and developed a unique soul forging inheritance, he still made a distinction.

Today he used a three-in-one spirit alloy for soul forging.

The sounds of tinkling and clanging filled the air.

Above the arena, an image of Su Ming forging and hammering appeared.

"Holy crap, what kind of soul guidance technology is this?"

"Void projection? The Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology is already this advanced?"

"Wake up, this is not soul guidance technology, this is an anomaly forged by Su Ming."

"what?"

Could this be caused by a human?
Can mere forging trigger extraordinary phenomena?

"Mommy, I want to learn Soul Forging so I can show off later."

"Don't make me laugh. I dare say that only Su Ming has this kind of phenomenon. No one else would have this kind of phenomenon even if they were to undergo Soul Forging."

This is like a miracle in front of people, an expanded version of Su Ming's, how could it be a phenomenon of soul forging?

Soon, a melodious echo resounded throughout the entire venue. The echo, as if receiving a spiritual awakening, sent chills down one's spine, as if the brain was being soothed and the soul was being drawn away.

The audience rolled their eyes, looking utterly delighted.

They all felt as if they had gained enlightenment in that instant.

"This is the true phenomenon of forging."

Su Ming was already used to it and worked hard to forge the metal.

Today he used Yuanling Iron, Demon Silver, and Sunken Silver. Among them, the spirit alloy forged from Demon Silver and Sunken Silver is called Jade Silver, which has a very high recognition. Therefore, the spirit alloy after adding other rare metals to complete the three-in-one is usually named based on Jade Silver. The spirit alloy that Su Ming is forging now is named Spirit Jade Silver.

Spirit Jade Silver is the only soul-forging metal he can use.

However, the three-in-one spirit alloy was a bit too basic for him.

Therefore, he can use this piece of spirit jade silver, but he will not use it to make battle armor. Instead, he plans to use it as a consumable for the second awakening of the gold-level weapon.

"The unique characteristics of this spirited alloy are intertwined, with the spirituality of rare metals as its guiding principle. The elemental iron controls the elements, the magic silver enhances the affinity with the elements, and the molten silver has excellent ductility. The three are combined into one!"

Su Ming slammed the hammer down.

Beneath his hammer, a six-colored halo surged, and dazzling light shot out from the spirit jade silver, outlining a celestial map in mid-air.

The dazzling scene attracted everyone's attention, and Su Ming had already taken the Soul Forged Spirit Jade Silver into his hand.

As the audience's attention returned to him, he activated the spiritual energy within the jade silver, unleashing it into the outside world.

His soul power surged, condensing into a carving knife in mid-air. He continuously sketched and outlined the scattered spiritual essence of Ling Yuyin, quickly carving out a complex soul guidance array.

Preparation zone.

"how is this possible?"

Huo Yuhao's brain was already swollen as he watched this scene.

He tried to forcefully memorize the core magic array using his mental probing, only to find his mind becoming increasingly foggy.

"There's so much content here, it's even a hundred times more complex than the core array of the level eight soul tool you stole." Tianmeng sighed and helped Huo Yuhao record all of this so he could digest it later.

"It's a combination of core patterns, so how could it be so mentally taxing?" Huo Yuhao was still puzzled.

"Ah, that's the brilliance of his magic array." Tianmeng exclaimed, "Although I haven't studied your soul tools in detail, I've watched a lot of them. Soul masters create soul tools by inscribing magic arrays to guide soul power to form circuits and thus exert their effects. But in addition to the circuits guided by the magic array, every line of his is also intertwined with the spirituality of the metal at a deeper level. This should be the mainstream of soul tool development in the future, and its upper limit will definitely far exceed the current level nine soul tools."
