Douluo Continent: Reborn as Yuhao, I will never die in a battlefield.

Chapter 97: Refining weapons into the soul, "Hundred Forgings", "Thousands of Forgings", "Spiritual Forgings"!

At this moment, inside the blacksmith's shop.

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, his body was covered in blood, and his body was covered in cracks. Even the forging hammer spirit in his hand was full of cracks and on the verge of breaking.

The infinite soul power boost compensates for the soul power consumption, and the infinite life force boost compensates for the physical strength consumption, but this does not mean that Tang San's body, spirit, and martial soul can withstand such repeated consumption.

Tang San's mind is now completely numb, and his body is instinctively repeating the forging process. If it weren't for the divine consciousness within him instinctively protecting his mind, his consciousness would probably have completely dissipated, leaving him in a vegetative state.

With his spiritual power concentrated in his body, Huo Yuhao appeared in the blacksmith shop.

Ignoring Tang San, who looked like he was about to die, Huo Yuhao's illusory Eye of Destiny appeared between his eyebrows, and he turned his gaze to the piece of metal that was being hammered again and again by Tang San's Forging Hammer Martial Soul.

Countless threads representing the essence of things were revealed, making all the properties of this metal visible to Huo Yuhao.

"Hardness, toughness, and strength have all been improved, especially since it also contains a trace of soul power, and the manifestation of transmitting soul power has also been greatly enhanced."

Huo Yuhao observed carefully.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao, who was sitting on the bed in the Spirit Pagoda with a beautiful green-haired girl lying in his arms, suddenly summoned his spirit ring.

The sudden turn of events startled Ice Emperor, but Huo Yuhao did not explain immediately. Instead, he reached out and took out a small piece of metal from his spirit ring.

This is a metal that Huo Yuhao nurtured with his own soul power, attempting to transform it into a metal with acquired spirituality.

The phantom of the Eye of Fate appeared from the main body and began to compare the differences between the two pieces of metal from a distance.

A moment later, Huo Yuhao received the answer.

"The soul power contained in the metal I nurtured carries the aura of my own ultimate ice. Even if it were made into a soul tool, I'm afraid only I could use it."

"However, the semi-finished product that Tang San forged contains very little soul power, but it is very pure and does not carry Tang San's own aura. If it is made into a soul tool, there will be no restrictions."

"Furthermore, compared to my pure nurturing, the metal forged in this way is greatly enhanced in terms of hardness, toughness, and strength."

"The forging process not only removes impurities from the metal, making it more durable, but also removes impurities from the soul power, making it 'attributeless'?"

Huo Yuhao guessed.

As it stands, forging spirit metals through forging is a completely feasible method, and it is much more durable than "spirit metals" that are simply nurtured with one's own soul power.

Unfortunately, Tang San was not up to the task. Despite the support of Huo Yuhao's soul power and life force, his forging skills were only enough to barely hammer his own soul power into the metal.

This is already Tang San's limit. He cannot go any further and completely awaken the metal, transforming it into a "spiritual metal".

"Ordinary metal souls, after being forged and tempered a thousand times, will greatly enhance their strength and toughness, and the forged metal can be called 'hundred-forged'."

"Although the metal that Tang San forged at this moment contains soul power and has given birth to a trace of 'spirit,' it is not complete and can be called 'half-spirit forging'? That doesn't sound very good, so let's just call it 'thousand-time forging'."

"As for the metal that has been successfully forged and transformed into a spirit metal, let's call it 'Spirit Forging'."

Huo Yuhao simply divided the metal into layers and named them, then looked at Tang San, who had been frantically forging for more than a month.

He reached out, ready to stop the forging; otherwise, if he really killed him, there would be no fun left, and that would be so boring.

However, just as he reached out his hand, Huo Yuhao suddenly paused, his gaze falling on the forging hammer spirit in Tang San's hand.

Under the repeated hammering, the metal, which could be called "thousand-times-forged" according to Huo Yuhao's metal grading standards, splashed up metal fragments, which then gradually merged into Tang San's martial soul through the cracks on the forging hammer!

Huo Yuhao slowly withdrew his outstretched hand, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

He discovered that Tang San seemed to be really good at creating surprises for him.

The "Thousand Forged" metal, which Huo Yuhao considered to be a semi-finished product of "Spirit Forging," underwent a certain change under Tang San's forging, to the point that the two actually began to fuse together!

What is this? "Soul Guiding and Soul Fusion Technique"? No. This is just a piece of metal, it can't be considered a soul guiding device. This should be considered "Refining a Weapon and Infusing it with Soul"?

Huo Yuhao silently observed that Tang San's forging hammer spirit was going through a process similar to that of a level nine spirit master in the Sun Moon Empire using the "Soul Guidance Fusion Method" to fuse a spirit tool with a spirit.

However, this is only similar.

The fusion produced by the "Soul Guiding and Soul Fusion Technique" is a mutual process between the soul tool and the martial soul. The soul tool amplifies the martial soul, and the martial soul amplifies the soul tool in turn, working together.

The process of the thousand-refined metal in front of them being integrated into the forging hammer's martial spirit is more like a martial spirit evolution.

But why?

Because the martial soul is a forging hammer, the combination of forging metal with the martial soul hammer and the fusion of soul power produces a special effect.

No, it can't be that simple.

Although Huo Yuhao had considered that fusing a weapon spirit with the same type of spirit might allow his spirit to evolve, it was definitely not something that this thousand-refined metal could accomplish!

It has to be at least spirit-forged, or a higher-level metal to be possible!

Something accelerated or brought forward this process.

The forging continued, and Huo Yuhao also began observation mode. With the combination of mental detection and the Eye of Destiny, Huo Yuhao could easily see everything clearly.

The flow of soul power, the effect of force, the landing point of the forging hammer—Huo Yuhao didn't miss a single possible detail. However, suddenly, he discovered something.

Tang San's body, completely exhausted from long-term forging, was torn apart little by little. His left hand, which was holding the forging hammer, was cracked almost inch by inch, but it was repeatedly repaired by life energy.

Large amounts of blood flowed down the repeatedly torn and repaired arm onto the forging hammer, and then down the hammer onto the metal.

Is it blood?

Huo Yuhao seemed to have grasped the key point, but he quickly rejected the guess.

No, it's not blood, it's the life force in the blood! No, it's not life force, it's the "qi and blood" that is stimulated when Tang San's body is repeatedly repaired and replenished by the life force, surging in his blood and dormant in his muscles!

The activated blood energy flowed into the martial soul along with the blood, and was then forged into the metal along with the blood and soul power!

Although the energy generated was very weak, and Huo Yuhao probably wouldn't have been able to detect it if he hadn't used the Eye of Destiny, it truly caused the two to merge!

The metal forging system discovered by the protagonist will be similar to that of Douluo Continent III, but there will be some differences. It can be used as a reference, but please do not copy it completely (actually, the author did not finish reading Douluo Continent III, and the information about the properties of metals of various levels found online was very vague, so he simply started to modify it!).
