Two Months

The forging of this first Flintlock Gun consumed tens of kilograms of Iron Essence, a feat made possible by the tireless efforts of dozens of Blacksmith.

Although these Blacksmith were not as skilled as Blacksmith Yuan, they were still among the best in the industry. The weapons and equipment that the Quan Family hid in the Basement were all made by this group of people.

This group of people is the foundation of the Quan Family, and also the clansmen that Quan Yi is responsible for.

However, it is a serious waste of resources that so many skilled Blacksmith, working for weeks, could barely produce a Flintlock Gun.

According to Blacksmith Yuan's standards, the costs of labor, materials, and transportation are enormous.

It's too inefficient and too costly.

In this situation, Quan Yi became even more determined to set up the assembly line.

Su Ling'er walked through the Forging Space and went deeper into it. At this moment, Quan Yi saw a tightly closed door.

Inside the Forging Room, there was a solitary, independent space.

Su Ling'er pushed open the door and entered the room.

"Come in and have a look."

Upon entering the room, one finds a relatively spacious single-person rest area with a bed.

Moreover, the temperature inside the room was abnormally high.

The Forging Room was already incredibly hot and stuffy because of the furnace, but the temperature inside this space was even higher.

Before long, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Quan Yi's body.

"Where is this?" Quan Yi asked.

"You should have felt the difference yourself," Su Ling'er countered.

"Yes, it feels exactly like Simulated Environment."

In fact, Quan Yi felt his Soul Power leaping with joy the moment he entered the Blacksmith Shop.

Unlike the first time when the space was empty and deserted, this time Quan Yi's feelings were unusually strong, even vaguely surpassing the lava environment in the academy.

"That's right, this Forging Room is a unique Simulated Environment that can be used for cultivation in Simulated Environment."

Moreover, it can simultaneously satisfy two characteristics of the Blazing Sun Gauntlets, which can be simply described as a combination of Armory and Flame Vein.

When we were expanding the underground Forging Room, I noticed its unique features.

This house is built with special materials, which can achieve sound insulation.

Moreover, Ventilation Channel were installed throughout the room's floor and walls, through which the heat from the stove would pass.

This concentrates heat within the room, maximizing the effect of the Simulated Environment.

"Did Mother expect me to stay here?" Quan Yi asked, looking at the carefully prepared room.

"No, I just felt that there should be a Cultivation Room outside the academy. Besides, such a suitable Simulated Cultivation Environment for you is extremely rare, so how could we miss it?" Su Ling'er didn't think too much about it at the time; she just did it on a whim.

However, this conveniently solved Quan Yi's problem of cultivating outside of school.

With this space, Quan Yi can perfectly balance his Soul Fight, cultivate, and research firearms.

With his accommodation and training arrangements resolved, Quan Yi was completely free of worries.

Over the next two days, Blacksmith Yuan quickly forged a high-quality Flintlock Gun from Refined Iron.

Although it was far inferior in quality to the first Flintlock Gun, it was in no way less powerful.

Moreover, in order to reduce the burden, Blacksmith Yuan simplified the structure of the firearms, streamlining each component to the extreme, further reducing costs.

Afterwards, based on this Refined Iron Flintlock Gun, Blacksmith Yuan determined the specifications for each part.

Once the specifications were set, Quan Yi decisively divided the Blacksmith into several groups, each responsible for a component.

At this point, the assembly line can be considered to have taken initial shape, but its actual effectiveness still needs to be tested in practice.

For the next two months, Quan Yi lived a very regular life.

I study at the college from Monday to Friday.

On Saturdays and Sundays, you fight in the Soul Fight Arena in the morning, and after the battle, you visit the Soul Fight and then place your bets.

When placing bets, Quan Yi can only consider Soul Fight with multipliers of 2 to 3.

In Quan Yi's opinion, only matches with this level of Soul Fight are the most likely to result in a comeback.

The multiplier, to some extent, represents the difference in strength between the two sides in a battle.

Soul Fight with too large a gap in strength, or with a similar gap in strength, cannot satisfy Quan Yi's desire to make money.

In the past two months, Quan Yi has participated in more than a dozen gambling battles, Gold Soul Coin he has earned are now basically equal to his initial investment.

Although, only a minority of Soul Fight are as unexpected as the first one.

Fortunately, Quan Yi was quite lucky and managed to pick the winning side each time.

Besides luck, Quan Yi's current achievements are also due to his broad knowledge and excellent reasoning ability.

After carefully studying and observing more than a dozen Soul Fight, Quan Yi gained a deeper understanding of Spirit Master combat. Everything he heard and saw was transformed into experience and integrated into his body. His eyesight was also honed in the process.

In the afternoon, Quan Yi returned to the research institute.

In the two months that followed, the production line that had been set up made significant progress.

After two months of adjustment, the production line for the Refined Iron Flintlock Gun has been fully completed.

More than fifty Blacksmith were responsible for manufacturing a portion of the materials, which were then assembled by the Yuan Family Father and Son.

The number of people assigned to Quan Yi will vary depending on the difficulty of forging.

For example, the most difficult part, the Gun Barrel, requires half of the Blacksmith to ensure that the production schedule matches that of the other parts.

Two months later, the production line was producing an astonishing fifty swords a day, and the quality of each one was no less than the one that Blacksmith Yuan had personally crafted.

Keep in mind that Blacksmith Yuan could only make one a day.

When Blacksmith Yuan saw the various parts flowing towards him in an endless stream, he finally realized what Quan Yi meant by the assembly line.

This production method did indeed encounter various problems at first, but as the Blacksmith became more skilled, their precision and speed continued to increase.

Moreover, this will continue to accelerate over time.

Two months later, Great Soul Arena.

Generally speaking, the morning hours have the fewest audience members.

In the Branch Soul Arena, there are only a handful of people.

However, the No. 13 Branch Soul Arena was packed with spectators.

This was in the early morning when there were few people around.

At this moment, a man dressed in a black tailcoat walked to the center of the Soul Fight Stage and saluted the audience. Then, holding a megaphone-type Soul Tool, he introduced it to the audience.

"Gentlemen, thank you for waiting. This time, I, Li Yu, will be hosting the first one-on-one Soul Fight in the Thirteen Branch Soul Arena."

Next up are two Soul Grandmaster, one of whom is Battle Soul Master Wang Qing, who possesses the Beast Martial Soul Ironclad Turtle. Grandmaster Wang Qing has accumulated a five-game winning streak, and his strength should not be underestimated.

The other one is One-Punch Man, Battle Soul Master who possesses the Fire Pattern Gauntlets, a Tool Martial Soul.

The One-Punch Man Soul Grandmaster appeared like a meteor, undefeated since registration. In just two months, he accumulated a terrifying fourteen-game winning streak. Moreover, just one more victory will allow him to advance to Iron Soul.

Without further ado, please welcome our two Soul Grandmaster to the stage.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge roar erupted from the audience.

The entire audience was chanting one word.

"One punch, one punch, one punch."

At this moment, a young man wearing a black mask with red patterns stepped onto the Soul Fight Stage amidst the roar of the waves.

The young man was only covered by black animal skin shorts; he wasn't even wearing shoes.

The revealing clothing showed off the young man's strong physique, with clearly visible muscle lines and a savage aura emanating from his taut and powerful muscles.

The young man stood tall and straight, looking ahead, his arms swinging naturally. His gait exuded a noble air.

When the young man took the stage, the atmosphere in the arena became even more enthusiastic.
