Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 96 The Core Principle: Miracles Arise with Mighty Force

"A Thousand Refined Spiritual Light!"

Gazing at the dazzling silver light rising from the silver ingot on the forging platform, Mu Yang, his face filled with excitement, couldn't help but exclaim.

Unlike the hundred-fold refining process, when metal is forged to the level of a thousand-fold refining, it will exhibit an "outward radiance".

The outward radiance of light is a sign of metal being refined through a thousand forgings.

In other words, the first case of metal forging in the history of Douluo Continent was completed by Mu Yang!

Although he is currently just a minor four-ring Soul Master, at this moment, he deserves to be remembered by history.

From this moment on, blacksmiths on the Douluo Continent will usher in an unprecedented era of prosperity.

Blacksmiths, once considered lowly by the high-ranking Soul Masters, are destined to be reborn and undergo a magnificent transformation into forge masters in the near future.

Once the special soul tool, Battle Armor, is introduced, even a Thousand Forging Master will be someone that most soul masters would worship, let alone a Spirit Forging Grandmaster, Soul Forging Saint Craftsman, or even a Heavenly Forging God Craftsman.

There are quite a few titled Douluo who serve as lackeys for the Spirit Hall, but because the Spirit Master cultivation system does not rely heavily on external objects, the Spirit Hall does not give back much to those titled elders.

The Heavenly Forging Master can forge Heavenly Forging Metal, which can be used to create Four-Word Battle Armor. Four-Word Battle Armor can instantly elevate the strength of a Nine-Ring Title Douluo to the level 99 Peerless Douluo.

Since a considerable number of Title Douluos are willing to be dogs of the Spirit Hall, there should be far too many Title Douluos willing to grovel before the Heavenly Forging Master.

However, Mu Yang didn't have time to think much at this moment. A trace of soul power emanated from the tip of his left finger and he gently drew a line on his right wrist. A streak of bright red blood spurted out and landed on the radiant Thousand Refined Silver.

Then, the Soul Bone Skill: Wildfire Cannot Burn Out, Spring Breeze Blows and It Grows Again was activated, and the wound on his right wrist healed rapidly. Mu Yang stared intently at the piece of metal shimmering with silver light on the forging table.

Soon, the dazzling silver light subsided, revealing the true nature of the metal.

Compared to its original state, the volume of the sunken silver has shrunk considerably, and its original bright silver color has turned into a dull, matte gray.

On that dusty metal surface, layers of seemingly deliberately engraved, yet extremely smooth, flame-like dark patterns seem to be brimming with boundless vitality.

Even more strangely, when Mu Yang looked at it, he felt a sense of connection, as if they were flesh and blood.

The feeling was incredibly strange, as if this piece of sunken silver was originally meant to be a part of my body.

This is not because the metal, after being forged a thousand times, can be connected to the blacksmith's bloodline, but because the metal, after being sacrificed with blood, can form a bloodline-level connection with the person who recognizes it as their master.

Blood sacrifice metal is a method of recognizing metals of a thousand forging levels or higher as their master.

After the metal blood sacrifice, it seems to become a part of the person who recognizes it as their master, achieving a controllable effect when used, and also preventing others from using it normally.

"Flame patterns? Is it because of the ice flames?"

As he carefully examined the flame-like patterns on the surface of the Thousand-Refined Silver, Mu Yang couldn't help but think to himself.

Shaking his head, Mu Yang didn't dwell on it. Regardless of whether the flame-like patterns on the surface of the sunken silver were due to the ice flames, it didn't change the fact that the sunken silver was now a thousand-times-forged sunken silver.

With his eyes closed, Mu Yang carefully recalled the profound insights he had gained when he was refining the silver.

He clearly remembered that when he entered that wonderful state, each time the forging hammer in his hand fell, it seemed to resonate in a special way with the sunken silver.

It was a very peculiar feeling. The silver being forged seemed to come alive. It breathed, and the silver breathed too. With each hammer blow, it was as if a seed was being infused with a bit of life force.

When this vitality reaches its peak, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, the submerged silver is sublimated, and it shines with a brilliant spiritual light. At this point, the submerged silver has been successfully forged a thousand times.

"Is it already evening?"

Opening his eyes, Mu Yang looked out the window and realized that it was already sunset.

However, he started forging the sunken silver at only two or three o'clock in the afternoon. In other words, it took him more than three hours to complete the thousand-times forging of the sunken silver from the ordinary hundred-times forging.

However, this was only the first time. If he were to undergo the Thousand Refinement of Silver again, Mu Yang believed that he could definitely complete a square piece of Silver within an hour. In fact, with his not-so-low soul power cultivation, he might be able to finish it in half an hour.

Then, Mu Yang's gaze fell once again on the thousand-refined silver on the forging table.

The smelted silver has been forged a thousand times, but at this point it is just a metal ingot and still needs to be shaped into a forging hammer.

As the saying goes, "A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools," how can a blacksmith be without a suitable forging hammer?

A hundred-times-forged iron hammer is already outdated!

The icy blue soul power emanated from his hand, transforming into a streak that landed on the Thousand Refined Silver, where the icy flames burned fiercely.

Before long, the Thousand-Refined Silver melted and, under the guidance and control of Mu Yang's soul power, evenly divided into three parts. One part became a Thousand-Refined Silver Ingot, while the other two parts became two dusty gray forging hammers.

During the process of refining smelted silver a thousand times, compared to the original smelted silver ingot, if we do not consider the impurities that are removed, the volume of the thousand-refined smelted silver is greatly reduced, but the weight remains unchanged and will not decrease due to the refining process.

Some metals even gain weight after being forged a thousand times due to the forging effect.

Submerged silver has an extremely high density, far exceeding that of ordinary copper and iron, and is three times the weight of ordinary pure silver. A volume of one foot square would weigh approximately 2,500 jin. Even after removing the impurities contained in the submerged silver ingot, this piece of submerged silver, after being forged a thousand times, would still weigh 2,400 jin.

If Mu Yang hadn't been physically strong and incredibly powerful, it would have been difficult to move him.

You're saying that a piece of sunken silver that's a foot square only weighs 300 jin?

Haha~, if this foot is 33.333 centimeters, then can sinking silver really be called sinking silver?

With a volume of one foot square and a weight of three hundred kilograms, its density is only about half that of pure iron.

If the density of sunken silver is only half that of ordinary pure iron, although it cannot be called "floating silver," it can definitely be called "light silver," and it deserves to be called "sinking silver."

Uh... perhaps that so-called "one foot" doesn't refer to an exact length, but rather a rather short ruler?

A piece of thousand-times-refined silver weighing over 2,400 jin is definitely not suitable for Mu Yang to directly forge into a forging hammer in his current state.

There are three great hardships in life: rowing a boat, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu. Blacksmithing is a physically demanding job, and if the forging hammer is too heavy, it will be too much of a burden.

The double hammers, made of 1,600 jin of refined silver and weighing 800 jin each, are quite suitable for Mu Yang, who believes in "miracles through great strength".

Well, don't be fooled by the fact that Mu Yang used the "Heavenly Hammer" when forging; that's just the surface technique. The real core principle is "great strength produces miracles."

Mu Yang: I'll take care of the strength, who's in charge of the miracle?

As for the remaining eight hundred jin of superfluous thousand-refined silver, he can fuse it into the silver hammers when his soul power level increases and his physique becomes stronger.
