Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 47 Spirit Forging Ice Crystal

This strange sight was unexpected even to Gu You himself, but he had no choice but to continue, because he clearly felt an extremely pleasant life fluctuation coming from his Spirit Forging Life Essence Hammer. The feeling of being connected by blood made his sense of Spirit Forging even clearer.

The life force is the root cause of this situation. Gu You's Life Essence Hammer was already of the highest quality, and after undergoing a blood sacrifice, he also infused it with his own blood and qi during this first spiritual forging process. All these changes caused the life force within the Life Essence Hammer to mutate.

The ice crystals on the forging table were getting smaller and smaller, and Gu You's right hand was also moving downwards. A layer of light purple appeared on the surface of his two life essence hammers, and the cloud patterns also changed, baring their fangs and claws, as if dragon-shaped patterns were emerging on them.

His vital energy was being depleted just as quickly as his soul power had been depleted, and a strong sense of weakness was constantly assaulting Gu You's mind and body.

He insisted, he must persevere, and refused to use a bottle. He firmly believed that no matter what, he could create a miracle.

"Ding-ding, ding-ding, ding-ding!" The crisp tapping sounds and the strange collisions made everything wonderful and rhythmic.

At this very moment, even Zhenhua is witnessing the miracle that is about to happen.

The brilliant blue light was growing weaker, but a faint purple hue lingered around Gu You's twin hammers.

Finally, only a tiny bit of the ice crystal remained after being absorbed. Gu You shuddered and coughed up a mouthful of blood, which landed right on the last layer of the ice crystal.

He simultaneously withdrew his right hand, gripping both hammers, and brought them down with a fierce thud.

"boom--"

A beam of blue-purple light shot into the sky, rising more than five feet high. Even more strangely, a dragon's roar followed. Within the blue-purple light, it seemed as if a purple dragon was swimming. The dazzling purple light, filled with the fluctuations of life, gave people an indescribable and strange feeling. It was clearly a living being, marveling at its own existence and cheering for its own appearance.

born!

A thousand forgings imbue it with spirit, ten thousand forgings give life to it: Spirit Forging!

The blue-purple flames lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually fading. Gu You's eyes were fixed on the forging hammers in his hands. The original Life Essence Hammer had turned completely pale purple, and all the cloud patterns had disappeared. In its place were faint dragon shadow patterns. It no longer felt like they were connected by blood, but rather like they were a single, integrated whole. With a flash of light in Gu You's hand, the two forging hammers had silently merged into his palm and disappeared. That's right, they merged into his palm, not disappeared into his storage soul guide ring.

Spirit Forging, bound by life!

Once the Spirit Forging Realm is reached, the metal gains life and will inevitably merge with the entity that gave it life. This is why Spirit Forging is so precious.

If a person wants to obtain a piece of spirit-forged metal, then he must assist the blacksmith. When the forging enters the spirit-forging process, he needs to continuously drip his own blood to assist the spirit forging and to facilitate life communication. Only in this way can he completely integrate with it when the forging is completed, making it a part of his body.

This is why when some people unleash their battle armor, it appears directly from within their bodies. Through countless trials, their minds are connected, and the metal becomes part of their bodies. Just like a martial spirit, the battle armor becomes an extension of the body. Only in this way can it be a truly powerful battle armor, and a part of one's own martial spirit.

While a one-word battle armor is indeed powerful and lightweight, only when one reaches the two-word battle armor realm, where the spirit forging truly merges with the body, does it become a true battle armor with a real amplifying effect, because it amplifies itself, as it is itself a part of the martial soul.

Only through the evolution of Spirit Forging can one become Soul Forging, while Thousand Forging cannot evolve into Spirit Forging. This is the difference between one-word battle armor and two-word battle armor.

Only by reaching the Two-Word Battle Armor realm can one truly possess limitless potential as a Battle Armor Master.

As the forging hammer merged into his body, Gu You's body lost its support and fell straight to the ground.

Zhenhua moved quickly, leaping behind Gu You in one stride and grabbing him in a tight hug. Gu You, however, was pale as paper and breathing weakly.

His soul power was exhausted and his vital energy was greatly depleted, causing him to fall into a brief coma.

Zhenhua's hands trembled as he embraced Gu You.

"He...he succeeded?"

Zhenhua's eyes were also somewhat dazed. He had succeeded. He had successfully completed the spirit forging. He was a spirit forger with a bone age of only ten years old, a fifth-level master craftsman, or a grandmaster forging master.

This is more than just a monster! Even Shrek Academy would be vying for such a talent. This is definitely someone who has the potential to become a master craftsman!

Due to the dimensional suppression, only three Divine Craftsmen can be born on the three continents. This is why, even in Shrek Academy, most of the top Battle Armor Masters are only three-word masters. Without Divine Craftsmen, there are no four-word Battle Armors.

If the Douluo Continent had more than one god-level blacksmith, all three-word battle armor masters would be promoted to four-word level...

Zhenhua swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

When Gu You woke up, he was completely exhausted, his face was as white as paper, his soul power and blood energy were both depleted, and his eyes were tightly closed.

He looked up at Zhenhua, "Senior, I guess I've passed the test completely now?"

Zhenhua nodded repeatedly, his eyes seemingly sparkling with stars. "You passed! You passed!! From now on, you are my apprentice, Zhenhua!!!"

Gu You smiled, then fell into a coma again.

……

Zhenhua continuously replenished Zhao Guyou with his soul power. The yellow light emanating from his body looked almost tangible, radiating a topaz-like luster, and this yellow light was filled with a solemn aura.

A yellow light surrounded Gu You's body, enveloping him and suspending him in mid-air.

Zhenhua's eyes shone with a bright yellow light, but on Gu You's body, a faint dragon's roar emanated from the yellow light surrounding him. The yellow light swirled, the dragon's roar gradually became clearer, and Gu You's body, which was suspended there, gradually began to change.

Seemingly stimulated by the yellow light, the purple patterns that had appeared before reappeared on his body surface, though they were much fainter than before. Strangely, these purple patterns seemed to be repelling the surrounding crimson light.

"Huh?" Zhenhua let out a soft exclamation, stopping the transmission of the yellow light. The intense yellow light disappeared into the air, and each ray of light became exceptionally clear before it dissipated.

Zhenhua sensed that there was an aura within Gu You that was rejecting his soul power and disdaining it, as if it were inherently superior to him.
