Douluo Dragon King: The Hammer Nurtures All Things, Starting with Gu Yuena

The one who reacted the most after Lin Jin ate the Ink Iron Powder was his Metal Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

At this moment, his martial spirit began to sway wildly, desperately absorbing the energy of the black iron powder in Lin Jin's body.

In just half an hour, the iron powder that Lin Jin had ingested was completely absorbed.

Then, Lin Jinfa noticed that the metallic blue silver grass in his hand had grown a little bigger, and its color had changed from blue to a duller, blacker shade.

"He's got something."

Lin Jin flicked it with his hand and found that the metallic blue silver grass had become harder.

Could this iron powder enhance the hardness of a martial soul?

This directly strengthens the martial soul! It's that powerful!

He decisively released his soul power to activate it, and the metallic blue silver grass immediately extended, quickly wrapping around one of the forging furnace's legs.

Lin Jin pulled it along, and the feel was indeed different from before—it had become harder, yet it also felt softer.

What seems contradictory is actually a hard indicator of the improvement of martial soul; his martial soul became stronger in a short period of time.

The only variable is this black iron powder, and only a small amount has been absorbed. The martial soul has only turned about one-tenth black and has not yet completely transformed into black iron blue silver grass.

He had heard that martial spirits could awaken and become stronger later, but he never expected it to be so simple, requiring only "eating shit".

Thinking about it this way, the sacrifice seems quite significant, and the raw materials are also difficult to obtain.

Nine-tenths of the metal that the Iron Pig ingests is absorbed by its body, and only one-tenth is excreted. Only after excretion can a small amount of powder be forged, which is not enough for one person. This way of making money to recover is no longer feasible.

This was a unique opportunity for him; only the metal soul beasts he created possessed this ability.

He named this powder Ink Iron Powder, just like the Ink Iron Pig.

Therefore, the "excrement" produced by the Jade Bronze Pig should be able to be forged into Jade Bronze Powder, and eating it should have an even stronger effect. Only he can enjoy such a good thing.

However, he could share some with his teacher, Mang Tian.

Mang Tian's talent is somewhat lacking; a four-ring Soul Master in the beginner village is barely enough, and he will be completely useless later on.

Putting everything else aside, what kind of nonsense is a white spirit ring?

It wasn't that he didn't have the money to upgrade his spirit, but rather that his martial spirit was too weak and his mental strength was too low. After barely absorbing the fourth thousand-year spirit ring, his mental strength reached its limit, and he didn't even have the ability to upgrade a ten-year spirit to a hundred-year spirit.

If he could help his teacher improve his martial soul level, he wouldn't be stuck at the master blacksmith level forever—Mang Tian's talent, love for forging, and ability are all quite high; the only thing holding him back is his soul power level.

If there are any more later, please ask the teacher to "eat shit" with you.

And then there's Brother Long, who shares the "shit" with everyone, provided they provide the raw materials.

Lin Jin wouldn't suffer any loss, even with his own teacher, he would keep clear accounts.

At this moment, Lin Jin was still grinning foolishly, but Di Tian, ​​who was hiding in the shadows, was dumbfounded—he actually saw Lin Jin "eating shit" and enjoying it, which completely shattered his worldview. Now, he felt disgusted whenever he saw Lin Jin.

This kid is probably seriously ill. Is it really a good idea for the Lord to entrust him with his care?

It seems we need to keep a closer eye on things.

……

After figuring out what "shit" was, Lin Jin realized one of the values ​​of metallic life.

Although I wanted to try cutting the hair off the Ink Iron Pig and Jade Bronze Pig to extract rare materials, I held back—time waits for no one, and while there are still rare metals, I have to speed things up.

At this moment, in the giant storage soul tool, the first level housed ten Ink Iron Pigs, and the second level housed three Jade Bronze Pigs.

The Jade Bronze Pigs are not yet able to reproduce, but the Ink Iron Pigs are—seven males and three females.

Lin Jin decisively raised another Iron Pig to adulthood. One male was enough; the others could grow slowly without wasting metal that could accelerate their growth.

Lin Jin had also figured out the patterns of metal consumption required for acceleration: the gestation and incubation of iron-grade bloodlines required one million federal coins of rare metals; the consumption was much greater from incubation to adulthood—accelerating from ten years to a hundred years took ninety years and cost three million federal coins.

Therefore, it takes five million Federal Coins for a metal soul beast with an Iron-grade bloodline to grow from gestation to adulthood, twice as much for a Bronze-grade bloodline, and so on.

It is indeed very expensive, but there is a reason for the high price. Even the excrement of this metal soul beast is so precious, let alone the other materials.

As far as he knew, the cost of a white-grade mech in the Federation was around five to eight million Federation dollars. These mass-produced mechs were not very powerful, probably at the level of a three-ring Soul Master.

His Iron Pig has grown to the level of a hundred years, and its combat power is still at the level of a white-grade mecha. So it is indeed quite worthwhile.

Unfortunately, raising soul beasts is too resource-intensive. His teacher left him three whole years' worth of resources, including rare metals worth hundreds of millions, which he almost used up.

Fortunately, he received a windfall; after all, he was the chosen one.

Lin Jin only did a rough calculation and knew that this thousand cubic meters of rare metal was worth billions, enough for him to squander hundreds of times. It was simply amazing!

Let's get started!

We've only unlocked one pig so far, which is far from enough. We need to get dozens of pages of his metal family tree today!

After finishing with the pig, Lin Jin immediately went to the dog cage.

Female dogs were much easier to find than sows; there were twenty of them, each one looking fierce and menacing.

Lin Jin didn't tolerate them. He smashed them one by one, and soon all twenty female dogs were knocked unconscious.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jin began to do the same thing, but this time it was different from before—before he did it one by one, now he did it three at a time.

He only realized after he got used to it that he could accelerate at the same time, but it consumed a lot of mental energy, which he could barely handle now.

An hour later, the three pregnant female dogs successfully gave birth to three jet-black iron eggs.

As expected, ordinary animals can only lay eggs of the black iron level.

Lin Jin quickly sped up, and soon three adorable little puppies emerged from their eggs. Just like the Iron Pig, they were all black, born as little steel beasts, but of a different breed.

According to the feedback, these hatched metal puppies are called Ironhounds. They have sharp teeth that seem capable of tearing anything apart, and their black iron bodies have a faint bluish tint, which is fundamentally different from the black iron of the Ironhounds.

It appears to be a completely new metal.

Without further ado, Lin Jin immediately activated the acceleration for the other seventeen heads.

It took an entire night to successfully hatch this batch of Ironhounds.

Lin Jin was already incredibly sleepy. He realized that while others could cultivate soul beasts by simply accumulating time and enduring it, he was essentially burning the candle at both ends.

Although he was acting innocent while actually getting the benefit, he was indeed experiencing both joy and pain.

Of these twenty Ironhounds, eight are female, so the drop rate is indeed slightly higher than that of pigs.

Thus, Lin Jin embarked on another long journey of acceleration, spending a little money to accelerate the Nine-Headed Ironhounds to adulthood in three batches, including one male dog.

Only then did Lin Jin unleash his super-sized hammer, chanting, "Eighty, eighty, eighty..."

They were hammered one by one.

The second generation of the Ironhide Dog is here!
