Douluo Dragon King: Star of Eden, tearing the universe apart!

Snapped!

Pebbles hit the water's surface, creating ripples.

Mu Xi sat on a park bench, her eyes vacant, mechanically repeating the throwing motion.

At that moment, a familiar presence approached, and then the person beside her sat down quietly.

And she naturally leaned gently against those shoulders, which, though somewhat slender, already hinted at a steady strength.

"Ah Yue, do you think my talent is really bad?" Mu Xi's voice was gentle, like a breeze blowing through a park.

Xu Yue looked at Mu Xi like this, and his voice softened.

"How could that be? Everyone in the Blacksmith Association knows about Sister Mu Xi's reputation as a genius girl!"

"You became a first-class blacksmith before you were even eleven years old. Uncle Mu said you are even stronger than him back then."

"If you ask me, you're not much worse than Uncle Zhenhua. If I were him, I would be begging and pleading to take you as my apprentice."

"Pfft!" Mu Xi couldn't help but laugh at Xu Yue's words, and her low mood dissipated considerably.

"I'm not as good as you say. Uncle Zhenhua dotes on me because I'm his niece, not because I'm particularly talented."

However, the next second, Mu Xi's tone changed, and she lowered her voice, "But... I really love forging!"

Xu Yue could clearly hear that these words came from the bottom of her heart.

If Mu Xi only felt surprise and pride towards Xu Yue for his innate full soul power and innate domain, then his blacksmithing skills were a complete blow to her.

From the age of five, Mu Xi began to swing a specially made small iron hammer. At first, Mu Chen thought she was just playing around, but she persisted for two whole years, imitating her father's actions day after day.

Xu Yue saw all of this.

"Ah Yue, do you know?" Mu Xi said softly, "These past few days I've been thinking that with your talent, you'll definitely become a Limit Douluo in the future."

"By then, you will definitely need a four-word battle armor! I also want to strive to become a master craftsman... I hope that in the future I can personally forge the most suitable battle armor for you."

She paused, her tone tinged with complexity, "I just didn't expect your forging talent to be so exceptional..."

"No, the word 'good' is not enough to describe it."

"So, Sister Mu Xi, are you jealous of me?" Xu Yue didn't deny it, teasingly.

"Jealousy?" The head resting on her shoulder swayed slightly, tinged with bitterness.

"Jealousy is for those goals that can still be caught up with. Someone like you, I can't even muster the thought of jealousy."

For a moment, the two fell silent.

Just then, Mu Xi caught a glimpse of a dazzling starlight out of the corner of her eye.

Before her, on Xu Yue's outstretched palm lay a beautifully crafted forging hammer.

"Ah Yue, this is... your Spirit Forged Meteorite Iron?!" Mu Xi recognized the material and exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I forged it into a hammer." Xu Yue nodded and placed the hammer in Mu Xi's hand. "Sister Mu Xi, this is for you."

"No! This is your first piece of work, it's very meaningful, I can't accept it!" Mu Xi quickly refused.

Xu Yue insisted on pressing the hammer into her palm, while a glimmer of starlight appeared on his other hand: "Look, I have one too! That piece of meteorite iron was big enough, so I forged two."

Sensing that Mu Xi's resistance was lessening, he continued.

"If you want to become a good blacksmith, how can you not have a good blacksmithing hammer? I've tried the special effect of this Spirit Forging Starfall Hammer, it's called 'Star Spirit'."

"If a blacksmith has a Star-type Martial Soul, they can obtain different effects based on the characteristics of their own Martial Soul when using it, which should make your forging process smoother."

"Moreover," he added, "I have a way to help you improve your forging skills even faster."

"Really?" Mu Xi's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true," Xu Yue said solemnly, "but on the condition that you accept this Spirit Forged Starfall Hammer."

"...Okay, I'll accept it." Mu Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically. "A-Yue, tell me quickly, how do I improve?"

"Of course—" Xu Yue paused, and an invisible gravity field descended instantly, causing Mu Xi's body to sink, "to train under my field."

"It is a universally acknowledged principle in the Blacksmiths' Association that the higher one's physical fitness, the faster one's forging skills will improve."

"You want to become the first Goddess Craftsman and forge battle armor for me. You can definitely persevere, right?"

An excellent blacksmith cannot rely on brute force; he also needs comprehension, skill, perseverance, and so on. But these are not problems for Mu Xi.

Although the Radiant Sun Martial Soul enhances her forging abilities, it cannot improve her physical attributes, thus becoming the fundamental obstacle to the improvement of her skills.

"Of course!" A determined look flashed in Mu Xi's eyes as she gripped the Spirit Forging Starfall Hammer tightly in her hand.

The two hammers complemented each other, as if blessing the two.

Seeing that Mu Xi had regained her confidence, Xu Yue smiled and said, "Sister Mu Xi, let's go home. Your aunt and uncle must be getting impatient."

Mu Xi narrowed her beautiful eyes, her tone slightly coquettish.

"No, the exam is too tiring, I want to stay a little longer."

That being said, both of them knew perfectly well whether she wanted to stay in the park or spend more time with the people around her.

……

Late at night, in the bedroom.

Xu Yue sat cross-legged, with the Star of Eden floating silently in front of him.

As soul power was injected, the azure sphere instantly turned black and red, emitting invisible gravitational fluctuations.

Using the gravity field to assist in training was not a spur-of-the-moment idea to comfort Mu Xi, but rather a thought that came to him after careful consideration during his cultivation of his martial spirit over the past few days.

No matter the training environment or auxiliary equipment, there will always be areas that are not covered.

But gravity is different; it can penetrate every corner of the human body.

Whether it's muscles and bones, internal organs, or every single cell, everything is affected by gravity.

As long as it is kept within a certain range, physical fitness can be improved efficiently without harming the body.

However, his conception of gravity went far beyond that.

"I currently only have one soul skill, Jade Shield, and it is unknown whether I will be able to obtain an offensive soul skill in the future."

"But my methods must not be limited to the Soul Master system of Douluo Continent, otherwise it would be a waste."

He thought of how, in the Honkai Impact 3rd world, the Herrscher of Geo from two different eras failed to truly demonstrate the power of gravity.

However, the former Herrscher of Rock at least had the feat of devouring the Mu Continent, causing the death of one-sixth of the world's population.

However, Chen Tianwu of the current era became a fusion material as soon as he appeared, merging with Anna to become the Herrscher of Meteorite Ice.

On the contrary, those who have served as law enforcers have greatly promoted and developed this principle.

"We could emulate Walter's development of Eden's Star and create gravity-based abilities."

"For example, gravity imprisonment, gravity slash, and even the three rated power... but game settings cannot be copied directly."

"Although the pseudo-black hole clearly possesses all the physical properties of a real black hole, its coverage area during the Second Honkai Impact was limited to the Siberian battlefield."

"Perhaps I can combine this with the physics knowledge I've learned to explore it at a deeper level."

Thinking of this, Xu Yue focused his gaze on the Star of Eden.

The next moment, the dark red gravitational field was no longer evenly distributed, but began to condense and compress.

The air in his palm distorted slightly, and a tiny black and red electric spark flickered and danced in his palm.
