Douluo: My Clone Simulates the Star God.

Chapter 5 Incredible Forging

In a small grove of trees by the sea in Donghai City, a petite purple figure was carrying a large pile of metal scraps to her temporary secret base.

It was Yao Lan's first clone, the Black Tower, who possessed the title of "genius".

"Finally caught up."

He casually glanced behind him, and a smile gradually appeared on Black Tower's face. It seemed that the preparations he had made over the past few days had not been in vain!

During this period of intelligence gathering, I heard that a forging exchange competition would be held in this area, and that a master craftsman would be coming.

Black Tower originally planned to use some means to infiltrate the participating teams and perform an excellent forging on the field to attract the master craftsman. But who knew that he would catch an unexpected big fish?

Mu Chen!

I never expected to see this eight-star master craftsman in such a small competition.

This instant caused Black Tower to abandon all his previous plans. Rather than showing off a minor feat of skill in front of ordinary people, he decided it was far better to steal the spotlight from this master craftsman and deliver a perfect forging!

Not only can it prevent the consequences of being too famous and ensure its own safety, but it can also raise its status in Mu Chen's heart, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

To achieve this result, the Black Tower only needs to do one thing...

Spirit Forging!

Before today, Heita was a Grand Soul Master who couldn't forge at all, but now she can directly use the spirit forging that only a fifth-level Grandmaster can do. The reason behind this is heartwarming.

Thanks to the students in the forging exchange competition, Black Tower gained a clear understanding of forging. In addition, the master craftsman who appeared at the end made Black Tower's understanding of forging even better!

From complete novice to master craftsman, Black Tower achieved this in just one three-hour forging exchange competition, making him an incredibly terrifying genius in this world!

However, both Yao Lan and Hei Ta were extremely dissatisfied with this, because this was not Hei Ta's limit. It seemed as if a subtle constraint was binding them, preventing Yao Lan from reaching the level of Hei Ta in the original work…

And this limitation is Yao Lan herself!

Ultimately, Yao Lan's clones were not created out of thin air, but were truly separated from himself. Therefore, both his cognition and talent were influenced by Yao Lan himself.

This clone is just a Black Tower skin on Yao Lan. Although it makes his mind clearer and smarter, it seems like a pipe dream to think that he can do what the Genius Club #83 Black Tower Lady could do in the original story.

But don't forget, Yao Lan's abilities aren't limited to creating clones!

The current Black Tower clone is indeed vastly different from the original Black Tower in the storyline, but this difference is not insurmountable, since the original Black Tower did not have the ability to substitute for Star God.

The phantom of the erudite monk flashed across Black Tower's body, and then a giant hammer, longer than the man himself, appeared in Black Tower's hand. This was the weapon that the little Black Tower character held in the game.

However, after picking up the hammer, Black Tower did not immediately begin to act. He slowly closed his eyes and carefully sensed the pile of metal materials in front of him.

"Simulation, begin."

As soon as the mechanical voice appeared, figures began to appear in Black Tower's mind. They were figures of young people, and if you looked closely, you would find that these figures were exactly the same as the students who participated in the previous forging exchange competition!

"Forged a hundred times...forged a thousand times..."

"Fix... Improve..."

With the blessing of the erudite Venerable, Black Tower managed to elevate himself to the level of a fourth-level blacksmith through the skills of a group of first and second-level blacksmiths.

But this isn't the end!

When the image of a middle-aged man appeared in her mind, Black Tower underwent a comprehensive upgrade, which was the effect brought about by that fifth-level master craftsman.

Although it was only a substandard spirit forging, it was enough for Black Tower to take her to the next level!

Neither Yao Lan nor Hei Ta had systematically studied any forging knowledge. However, under the simulation of Bo Shi Zun, Hei Ta managed to create his own forging method in just a few minutes by observing those forging techniques from his memory, and even advanced to the level of a fifth-level master craftsman.

However, this is also the limit for Black Tower now.

The quality of the materials in front of her was ultimately limited, as they were leftovers from the competition. In addition, Black Tower herself had never seen a higher level of forging method, so Spirit Forging was the limit she could reach.

"Then let this eavesdropping master craftsman have a good look at my spirit forging!"

Meanwhile, Mu Chen, who had been secretly watching, peeked out. Ever since he started following the brown-haired little girl, he had felt something was off. What was this little girl planning to do?

Mu Chen recognized the metal she was holding earlier; wasn't it just leftover scraps from the competition? What could be made from that junk?

As a master craftsman, Mu Chen deeply understands the importance of materials. To forge excellent metals, one must use high-quality materials.

Although there might be a tiny bit of high-quality material among those scraps, no matter how much forging is done, it would never exceed a thousand forgings, because there are just too many and too varied types of metals in them, making it even more difficult to forge them into high-grade metals.

Even Mu Chen himself could only forge it into a top-quality piece of the hundred-refinement level at most, and it would be impossible to go any higher, because that's how much the materials affect it.

So what will this girl do?

"Is this a hammer created using a soul skill? How was it forged?"

Most blacksmiths choose a forging hammer that suits them. While strength is required, speed is also important because impurities in the metal must be removed at a very high speed during forging. This hammer, which is taller than a girl, obviously does not meet the requirement of "speed".

To be honest, Mu Chen was already somewhat disappointed. He had initially thought this girl was quite capable, able to spot the flaws in the previous spirit forging, but now…

"This girl is probably a beginner. She's just trying to find some materials to test them out. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to see how useless these materials really are."

However, just as Mu Chen shook his head and was about to leave, the girl's forging... began!

Clang clang clang clang clang—!

The rapid, rhythmic tapping sounds rang out. The hammer, which was even longer than the girl's height, was handled with incredible ease by that petite figure, as if it were a toy. She was even faster than some level three or four blacksmiths.

Such an unbelievable scene made Mu Chen, an eight-star master craftsman, widen his eyes. The scrap iron that he had almost determined could not have been refined more than a thousand times had actually exceeded a thousand times in the blink of an eye... How could this be? Moreover, it seemed that a trace of spirituality was emerging from these metals.

A thousand forgings possess a spirit? A level four blacksmith?

"How is that possible? How old is she?"

However, this was not the end. Just as Mu Chen was shocked by the identity of the Black Tower Level 4 Blacksmith, the sound of the hammer striking became more and more rapid.

"She actually intends to continue?"

But the next stage... is spirit forging!

Countless people have been stuck at the realm before Spirit Forging for years, and some have even spent their entire lives without being able to break through, but this girl…

She actually intends to use such a jumble of scrap metal to forge a spiritual forging that will imprison countless people for their entire lives?
