Volume One

[Weapon: Light Spirit Blade—Wind Spirit Dance, the azure blade leaves its sheath, its radiance brighter than snow. Wherever Frost Edge passes, it cuts through worldly splendor. It is a peerless divine weapon.]

[Martial Soul: Godsmith Hammer]

As soon as the words fell, Su Xing felt a slight pain in his head. He suddenly sensed a huge amount of information flooding into his mind. The unexpected influx made his head swell painfully. After a brief rest, Su Xing left the academy again. He planned to visit the Blacksmith Shop in Nuoding City first, then head to the Soul Hunting Forest. Since Su Xing had served in the army for several years in his previous life and was also a firearms enthusiast, he knew quite a bit about manufacturing guns. Moreover, blacksmithing was a lowly profession on the Douluo Continent, and blacksmiths were extremely cheap to hire. Thus, Su Xing intended to work with a Blacksmith Shop and pay them to make ordinary firearm components. As for the Light Spirit Blade and the Five Phoenix Morning Sun Armor, they were indeed both good choices. If he chose the weapon, Su Xing's strength would certainly improve greatly in a short time. If he chose the armor, it would be like gaining a second life in the early stages. Su Xing rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice. Clearly, soul masters were only a minority in this world. Most people still needed weapons and armor, so weapons were far more expensive than farming tools. Things like martial souls, talents, and soul rings obtained from this life simulation were obviously outside Su Xing's considerations. The burly man took the blueprint, glanced at it once, and immediately froze. The paper was covered in complicated diagrams. Forget understanding them—he could not even tell what they were. What kind of background does this kid have? He casually offers ten Gold Soul Coins. Even though he is plainly dressed, that Soul Tool he wears is not something an ordinary person can afford. Otto sized Su Xing up and thought to himself. After all, choosing weapons or armor would only let him obtain one of them. But if he chose the Divine Weapon Crafting Technique, could he not forge weapons and armor himself from then on? "What is this thing?" The burly man stared at Su Xing in bewilderment. After a moment, he said slowly, "Little friend, wait here. I'll ask the shopkeeper whether he can make it." ~~~~... Su Xing smiled awkwardly and waved his hand. "It's not a farming tool. It's this. Can you understand it?" As he spoke, Su Xing pulled out a sheet of paper from his clothes. Su Xing finally understood. So this crappy simulator could be used this way too. As soon as Otto finished speaking, Su Xing took out ten Gold Soul Coins from the Eternal Star Domain Soul Tool on his arm. "Uncle Otto, I can afford it. If you can make it, I can pay a deposit first."

[Life Insight: Divine Weapon Crafting Technique (Strongest Forger)]

As Su Xing was thinking, a loud voice interrupted his thoughts. Su Xing frowned slightly. "Uncle, just tell me whether you can make it or not. You don't need to know what this thing is." "..."

[Friendly reminder: If the host chooses a martial soul, the god-tier martial soul gifted by the system will be directly overwritten. The newly acquired martial soul will need to absorb soul rings again.]

Before he even entered the Blacksmith Shop, Su Xing heard dense hammering from inside. The sounds were rapid and crisp, clearly indicating that many blacksmiths were at work within. An ordinary person would surely be shocked to learn that someone was paying fifteen Gold Soul Coins to have blacksmiths make something, but Su Xing knew how complicated the item was and felt that the shopkeeper's price was quite fair.

[Talent: Innate Soul Power Level 3]

Hearing this, Su Xing slowly raised his head and saw a burly man standing over him. The man was bare-chested, covered in sweat, and held a large forging hammer in his hand. The burly man looked Su Xing over. Perhaps because Su Xing was plainly dressed and merely a child with nothing remarkable about him, the man assumed he was just an ordinary boy. In this world where strength was respected, Su Xing was still weak. He could die at any moment if he was not careful, so he needed to find some way to get something for self-defense. "Hey, kid, what are you doing here? If you want to buy something, have your family come. Get out quickly. It's dangerous here."

[Ding! The system has detected the host's thoughts.]

This was a blueprint for the components of a Desert Eagle. Relying on memories from his previous life, Su Xing had carefully calculated and measured everything before drawing the design. Looking at these weapons, Su Xing suddenly had an idea. Tang San could establish the Tang Sect in this world and mass-produce Hidden Weapons based on mechanical triggers. Would it really be too much if Su Xing opened an arms factory in this world someday and mass-produced guns and ammunition? The moment he entered, a wave of heat rushed at him. The temperature here was obviously much higher than in Tang San's shabby Blacksmith Shop. "Hello, Uncle. I'd like to discuss some business with you," Su Xing said with a smile. "Farming tools?"

[Please choose one option.]

With that, the burly man immediately ran toward the counter. The middle-aged man standing behind it took the blueprint from him, glanced at it once, and surprise instantly filled his face. Su Xing readily nodded. "All right, Uncle Otto. It's settled, then. Please make one of these according to the blueprint I gave you, then have someone deliver it to Nuoding Academy. Here is my address." "I choose the Life Insight, Divine Weapon Crafting Technique." "Little friend, what farming tool do you want made? Just tell me." The burly man rubbed Su Xing's head and smiled.

[Soul Rings: Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple]

Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish! After entering the Blacksmith Shop's main hall, Su Xing found completed farming tools hanging on the right side, along with all kinds of armor and weapons. "Little friend, I am the owner of this Blacksmith Shop. My name is Otto. The thing in your blueprint is far too profound. Can you tell me what it is?" The middle-aged man walked out from behind the counter and came before Su Xing. Martial souls and talents did not need much consideration this time, but Su Xing had always had a question. Since he already possessed Twin Martial Souls, what would happen if he chose another martial soul?

[Armor: Five Phoenix Morning Sun Armor—Made from special metal, light as a feather and impervious to blades and spears. Its toughness can withstand the sixth soul skill of an attack-type soul master.]

"Uh... I see." After asking several passersby for directions, Su Xing arrived at the largest Blacksmith Shop in Nuoding City. Its name was simple: Blacksmith Shop, without any decorative wording.
