Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Tiandou City Blacksmith Association.

This is the largest blacksmith association on the entire continent, as its headquarters are located here. Of course, the most important person here is the president of the Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association, named: Zhen Hua! The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua!

At this moment, Lu Fa walked in front, while Nan Fusheng followed behind him.

The main character this time is Lu Fa, and Nan Fusheng plays the role of a member of the Tianhai City Blacksmith Association who is now following Lu Fa after a chance encounter.

Nan Fusheng, now using the alias Smith, is in his thirties and is a level-two blacksmith.

This identity was registered with the Tianhai City Blacksmith Association and was one of the fake identities he had prepared specifically.

"So, what should we do?" Nan Fusheng asked Lu Fa telepathically.

“Of course, we should first attract the attention of the master craftsman,” Lu Fa replied without hesitation. He had already prepared a plan.

Lu Fa walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the Blacksmiths' Association, where he saw a forging table placed in the center of the lobby.

That's the Blacksmiths' Association, specially set up there. The president, Zhenhua, often gives public lectures there from time to time, and occasionally you can even encounter a master craftsman who will step up and answer questions for others.

Sometimes it also serves as a platform for level 6 blacksmiths to exchange ideas.

It can be said that the blacksmiths who dared to go up to the central forging platform were all very confident in their skills.

At that moment, Lufa walked up.

At first, no one paid much attention. After all, there were indeed some people who occasionally wanted to see what the forging table, used by several powerful blacksmiths, looked like, and whether they could gain some inspiration from it.

However, many people were unsettled when they saw Lu Fa place a piece of heavy silver onto the forging table. Wait, what is this child doing? Doesn't the Blacksmith's Guild have a dedicated forging room? And how old is he?

He looked to be no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. Could such a young child really understand forging? He actually dared to go to the central forging platform to forge; this is a classic case of a newborn calf not being afraid of a tiger!

There were even quite a few staff members from the Blacksmiths' Association nearby who, upon seeing this, were about to step forward and pull Lu Fa down.

After all, it's a child being trained in front of so many people. If he fails, what a blow it would be to his spirit!

However, the next moment, Lu Fa let out a low roar, and powerful blood energy and soul power surged out from his body, and four black soul rings lit up.

A surge of soul power erupted in the hall, making it impossible for others to ignore.

"What! Ten-thousand-year spirit rings! And four of them!" Even some passersby were attracted by Lu Fa's terrifying spirit ring configuration.

The surrounding crowd began to gather around to watch. Regardless of whether the young man could forge or not, no one dared to underestimate him based solely on his terrifying soul ring configuration.

"Oh!" Nan Fusheng, who was watching from the side, suddenly noticed that Lu Fa had not chosen to put down the "Fusheng Brand" sunken silver, but instead chose an ordinary sunken silver.

Lufa placed the forging hammer on the forging table. When they saw his forging hammer, many blacksmiths' pupils contracted. That forging hammer was a heavy silver hammer forged by spirit.

His aura matches that of the young man—how is that possible? Other things might be faked, but this aura can't be faked. Could it be that this young man is actually a level five blacksmith?

At this moment, some veteran blacksmiths also stopped and turned their attention to the central forging table.

Lu Fa's hands hung at his sides, his long arms and slender fingers giving off a strange feeling. He exuded a sense of quality and an indescribable aura.

The forging time of the molten silver was easy to judge. Suddenly, Lu Fa pressed a button, and the molten silver, which had been heated to a bright red, rose up. He then grabbed his pair of forging hammers with both hands and brought them down at the same time.

"boom!!!"

Compared to normal forging, Lu Fa's actions resembled smashing the heavy silver into a flat shape. However, under this terrifying force, the volume of the heavy silver shrank rapidly.

Even more strangely, it became increasingly brighter. Faintly, one could even see some fine and regular patterns appearing on this piece of sunken silver.

This……

How could such terrifying power be refined?

It took a full quarter of an hour, when suddenly, a dazzling golden light rose up.

When the golden light appeared, a roar of a giant beast could even be clearly heard in the hall. Then, the golden light shot into the sky like a dragon.

It has a spirit after being forged a thousand times!

However, it would be quite amazing if a normal Thousand-Refined Spirit could rise five feet, but Lu Fa's golden light rose more than ten feet high, soaring upwards and swaying and waving, like a golden dragon dancing in the wind.

"The ultimate!" an elderly level six blacksmith murmured. He was also a level six blacksmith, but he was absolutely certain that he might never be able to achieve what he was seeing before him, even if he spent his entire life doing so.

Yes, Lu Fa has perfected the art of refining the sunken silver, pushing the limits of what a piece of metal could achieve through refining to its zenith.

This is something that even many master craftsmen probably couldn't do; it's estimated that only the divine craftsman Zhenhua could accomplish.

Forging requires strength, and the more strength you use, the harder it is to control.

Many master craftsmen could not forge items using only the strength of their wrists, unlike Lufa.

Because their own power is insufficient, if they directly use their soul power, it will also involve control issues, which is far less controllable than pure power.

But Lufa is clearly capable of it; possessing the bloodline of the Platinum Behemoth, he is a veritable humanoid beast.

With both hands, Lu Fa's heavy silver hammers arced through the air, and before the golden light could fall, he had already swung them out again.

Two beams of light fell simultaneously, striking the Thousand-Refined Silver and producing a sound much brighter than before.

Looking at the piece of silver now, it was covered with a layer of fine, dense cloud patterns. The cloud patterns themselves radiated a dazzling brilliance, with a flowing halo, as if it had transformed into a different metal.

Soul power infused, spiritual power infused! Lu Fa began the most important process of spirit forging: the enlightenment of life.

The biggest difference between spirit forging and thousand forging is spirituality. Without a doubt, the more spirituality a rare metal possesses, the more valuable it is.

As Lu Fa's twin hammers fell, the golden cloud patterns on the silver gradually deformed, turning from smooth to twisted. Faintly, with the infusion of Lu Fa's soul power, it began to ripple with rhythmic light.

Has it already started to show spirituality? That's too fast!

Even for skilled level six blacksmiths, the spirit forging process, even using the most common rare metals, takes at least an hour to complete. This is because detecting and activating the life force of a rare metal is extremely difficult.

At this moment, although Lu Fa has not yet completed the spirit forging, since the metal has already shown signs of spiritual change, it naturally means that the spirit forging is about to be completed.

That's so fast! It only took three minutes in total!

Even those veteran blacksmiths who have been at the sixth-level blacksmith realm for decades could not complete spirit forging in just three minutes!

Chapter 267 Half-Step Soul Forging

"Buzz—" Just then, the piece of sunken silver emitted a slight buzzing sound.

Immediately afterwards, the silver itself trembled slightly, and the cloud patterns on it seemed to come alive, flowing and changing, vaguely taking on a human shape. The previously faint roar instantly became more pronounced.

A feeling of jubilation welled up within them!

Success! Spirit forging complete! Five minutes!

From the initial refinement to the completion of the final refinement, Lu Fa only took five minutes.

"hiss!!"

This time, all the blacksmiths around gasped in astonishment. It was as if they were witnessing a legend rising before their very eyes.

The next moment, Lu Fa's aura changed drastically. A strong surge of blood energy erupted as he fully activated his Behemoth bloodline.

The powerful pressure emanating from their bloodlines directly stimulated the martial souls of the surrounding soul masters, causing rings of spirit energy to rise in the hall. In an instant, the entire hall transformed into a sea of ​​spirit rings.

"How can his aura be so strong? And isn't the forging finished now? What else does he want to do?" Some level six blacksmiths even had a terrifying thought: Could this young man be planning to continue forging?

But they quickly dismissed the idea. How could that be? How could a boy not even fifteen years old possibly challenge that realm? Was his cultivation level sufficient?

But at that moment, Lu Fa's Spirit Forged Silver Hammer moved. This time, his Silver Hammer had been dyed gold by the power of his blood and qi, and it smashed down fiercely.

With each strike of the hammer, the entire hall trembled slightly, and the deep rumbles were like the explosions of fixed-mount soul-guided cannons.

The sound even startled the top of the tower!

……

"what happened?"

Master craftsman Zhenhua was sitting on the sofa, flipping through documents. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he looked downstairs.

The materials used to build the headquarters of the Blacksmith Association in Tiandou City are all extraordinary. There are even specially carved soul guidance arrays on it, which are enough to make the building withstand attacks from the level of a Title Douluo.

After all, the Blacksmiths' Association is lacking in everything, but it has plenty of money.

Not to mention, as the workplace of the master craftsman, Zhenhua's office is absolutely heavily fortified.

The tremors caused by Lu Fa had no effect on him. It was merely a sudden impulse on Zhen Hua's part, a feeling he had sensed something.

As a master craftsman, he could clearly sense that faint fluctuation just now.

"Is that my old friend giving a lecture and demonstrating down here?" Zhenhua decided to go down and see for himself.

"What, are you going down? Then I'll follow you." Just then, an old man in his fifties, dressed in a chef's uniform, appeared in front of Zhenhua.

"No need, it's only a short distance anyway." Zhenhua shook his head.

"Not long ago, there was an incident of evil soul masters causing trouble in Tiandou City. These are critical times, so it's best to be careful," the old chef said, refuting Zhenhua's point of view.

"Fine, I really can't do anything with you."

……

The Blacksmiths' Association, in the lobby on the first floor.

As Lu Fa was forging the Spirit Forged Silver, each hammer blow produced a whimper-like groan, as if he were experiencing a bittersweet sensation.

As Lu Fa swung his hammer, the piece of heavy silver was instantly dyed gold. Although it would fade in the next instant, there was no doubt that it was being imbued with the light from Lu Fa's Spirit Forging Heavy Silver Hammer.

The biggest difference between spirit forging and soul forging is that spirit forging imbues metal with life, while soul forging imbues metal with its own heritage, much like the inheritance of a soul.

Lufa was pouring all his bloodline energy into the piece of sunken silver, while simultaneously infusing it with his soul and his own aura.
