Douluo Continent, my martial soul is the Silver Dragon King.

After awakening his martial spirit, Lu Chen became even more diligent than before, going to the blacksmith association to forge weapons before dawn every day.

The reason is simple: now that he possesses soul power, he can create some of the simpler soul tools from his previous life.

With the help of the soul tool, his ability to protect himself will be greatly enhanced. Once he has basic strength, he will be able to do what he wants to do.

He already had a preliminary idea for his first spirit ring.

That is the 990,000-year-old soul beast—the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Lu Chen was sweating profusely in the forging room, each strike of his forging hammer filled with excitement. Perhaps it was because his martial spirit had awakened, but Lu Chen wielded the forging hammer with more power and ease.

After forging was completed, Lu Chen carefully inscribed the core of the magic array on the forging table with a small knife. This knife was also handcrafted by him. Although it was not as good as the carving knife in his previous life, it was still sufficient for inscribing the core of soul tools below level four.

Lu Chen finished engraving the core of the soul tool and put it into a metal box, which he then tied to his right arm.

Lu Chenman looked at the metal box, a satisfied look appearing on his face.

This is a level-two soul tool called Soul Ray. Its principle is to compress a soul master's soul power and then suddenly shoot it out, causing damage more than twice the soul master's own soul power. A great soul master like him with level 20 soul power can suddenly unleash the full power of a three-ring soul master.

Just as Lu Chen was admiring his work, the door to the forging room opened, and two people walked in. One was Uncle Si Long, and the other was Lou Gao, the leader of the Blacksmith Association.

"Uncle Silong, Master Lougao, good morning!" Lu Chen gestured slightly to the two people who came in and greeted them.

Lou Gao Shenjiang, with a serious expression, stretched out his large hand to stop him, saying, "There's no need for formalities. I've come to see you because Silong said you're a promising talent."

Lou's short figure bypassed Lu Chen and headed towards the forging site.

He squatted down, picked up the leftover impurities and scraps from the forging process, glanced at them, and then said, "It seems you do have a bit of a knack for forging."

Lou Gao casually tossed the scrap aside and said, "I heard from Si Long that you were born with full soul power?"

Lu Chen nodded.

"Release it for me to see."

Lu Chen took a deep breath and circulated his soul power. In the next moment, a pressure belonging to the tenth level of soul power was released in the forging room, and the whole room seemed to be constantly being blown by a gust of wind.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere of the room, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Lou Gao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Lou Gao believed that Lu Chen was indeed a genius. However, Lou Gao thought that geniuses were prone to arrogance, becoming complacent and unwilling to cultivate diligently, thus wasting their talent. As an elder, he had to show his most serious side when everyone else acknowledged Lu Chen's abilities.

"Ahem, with innate full soul power, he's quite a promising talent."

The building appears serious on the surface, but it's actually overjoyed inside.

This is the first Soul Master in the Blacksmith Association to have innate full Soul Power!

Moreover, Lu Chen also possesses remarkable forging talent.

This is the Tianyou Blacksmiths Association!

"You're lucky, kid. I'm going to the auction house these next few days to discuss with the organizers about exchanging some items. I can help you get a hundred-year-old soul ring that's perfect for your martial soul."

At this moment, Si Long respectfully explained to the master craftsman Lou Gao, "Master, Lu Chen's martial soul is a silver dragon. This kind of soul beast is extremely rare. Is it possible to obtain one at the auction?"

"Silver Dragon?" Lou Gao was taken aback.

Even veteran Soul Masters might not know about the Silver Dragon.

"Silver Dragon... Silver Dragon..." Lou Gao, just like Si Si before, tried hard to search his mind for information about the Silver Dragon.

Lu Chen interrupted Lou Gao's thoughts and said:

"Master Craftsman Lou Gao, thank you for your kindness. Rather than obtaining a soul ring with the help of others, I would prefer to obtain it on my own."

Lou Gao snapped out of his daze, frowned, and looked at Lu Chen with displeasure. "What kind of bullshit joke is this? How old are you to think you can get your own soul ring?"

Have you ever fought a soul beast? Do you know how powerful soul beasts are?

You only awakened yesterday, and you already want to acquire a soul ring all by yourself?

"You're so arrogant! Even a ten-year-old wind baboon from the Star Dou Great Forest could take your life!"

Lou Gao snorted coldly, his initial goodwill towards Lu Chen diminishing.

Most blacksmiths are hardworking and down-to-earth people who take things one step at a time, including Lou Gao himself.

Lu Chen wanted to acquire a spirit ring on his own as soon as he awakened, which Lou Gao saw as unrealistic and impractical. This infuriated Lou Gao, who scoffed at him.

Lou Gao's words made even Si Long a little anxious, since he had brought his teacher along to try and secure resources for Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, what the teacher said is right. A person who has just awakened their martial soul is not much different from an ordinary person. Going to obtain a soul ring alone is just suicide!"

Lu Chen calmly explained, "Uncle Silong, your building is of the highest caliber. I have my own reasons for making this decision."

Before obtaining a spirit ring, a spirit master has no way to fight against spirit beasts, but after reaching the second spirit ring, they have the strength to roam the outer perimeter of the spirit beast forest.

You may choose any three-ring Soul Master to fight me and test my strength.

If I lose, I will follow your advice and arrangements. If I win, I hope Uncle Silong and Master Craftsman Lougao will allow me to be willful this once.

After Lu Chen finished speaking, Si Long and Lou Gao both looked at him, their eyes filled with doubt.

Si Long asked, "Lu Chen, do you know what you're saying? How can a Soul Master without even a Soul Ring possibly defeat a Soul Master with a Soul Ring? Let alone a Three-Ring Soul Master."

Lu Chen nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Silong, I know what I have to face."

Before Silong could say anything more, Lou Gao interrupted him:

"Alright, Silong. Since your nephew wants to be tortured, then so be it. Someone has to teach him a lesson. A jade stone must be carved to become a gem. I agree to this."

"I remember Siyu has a nephew who lives in the Third Ring Road. Have him come over and have a go at your nephew."

After Lou Gao finished speaking, he angrily turned his back on the room, found a reasonably comfortable sofa, and sat down like a little old man with his hair standing on end.

Seeing his teacher's expression, Si Long turned to look at Lu Chen again. "Lu Chen, you...sigh!"

After a sigh, Si Long left the room to find Si Yu's grandson.

Faced with Uncle Silong's regret and Craftsman Lou Gao's displeasure, Lu Chen did not offer much explanation.

Because he knew that on this continent, apart from strength, all other arguments were pale and powerless.
