Miles's Choice
"Borrowed Power once will extend the connection by one year. If that's all there is to it, even if I Borrowed Power once a day, it would still take more than 20 years to reach the Dou Er Node. That's too slow."
Su Ming recalled the number of times he Borrowed Power over the past year and confirmed that he had not yet reached Borrowed Power four hundredth time.
Let alone four hundred times, it wasn't even a hundred. He stayed in Gengxin City and didn't engage in frequent battles; in fact, he rarely fought. Even Forging was only Borrowed Power when he lacked Soul Power.
"There are actually other factors influencing the extension of the illusory future."
Su Ming couldn't analyze anything for the time being, so he could only continue his normal cultivation.
Let's return to the present moment.
"Our teacher can almost replicate Spiritual Forging now, and our second senior brother has also mastered the Thousand Forgings with Spirit."
Unlike Su Ming in the second and third stages of the Dou Er Dou San, Dou Yi Su Ming focused on Forging Spiritual Forging. After his first Spiritual Forging, Zhu Jiuyang also began to learn from his apprentice again. Now, in addition to success, he has mastered all the necessary skills.
Dou San Su Ming happened to achieve a breakthrough by Forging Faith during the Forging. After that, all three Su Ming were replicating the feeling they had at that time.
Dou Er Su Ming succeeded once.
Dou San Su Ming also succeeded twice more in this year.
In the past year Dou Yi Su Ming did not use any external objects such as Faith; he relied solely on his Forging skills to replicate the Spiritual Forging thirty-six times!
This is an achievement that even Dou San Su Ming, who shares complete memories and thoughts with him, could not replicate in Dou Er San.
Su Ming looked at Xiao Little Gold, who was holding a large piece of Sinking Silver and meditating in the Forging Shop, and couldn't help but smile.
Little Gold was the key to his success.
Of course, in the Dou San Su Ming was learning Fusion Forging from Zhen Hua without focusing on having Zhen Hua guide him in Spiritual Forging, Dou Er Su Ming was also consolidating his Fusion Forging. These two points are also somewhat important.
Gengxin City Martial Soul Main Hall.
Miles stared at the two pieces of Spiritual Metal before him, his eyes flashing with a greedy desire that emanated from them.
"So that's what happened with this technology. No wonder the entire association underwent reforms from top to bottom, even abolishing the title of 'Divine Blacksmith '."
A raging fire ignited in Miles' heart.
Can I eat this?
As a greedy Platinum Bishop, Miles's first thought after finally confirming the changes in the Blacksmith Association was to take over the Blacksmith Association and control all the Blacksmith had mastered the new Forging techniques.
However, to reach the position of Platinum Bishop, he also possessed the ability to weigh the pros and cons.
After a brief moment of greed, a sudden wave of fear washed over me.
"Zhu Jiuyang, this piece of Spiritual Metal was Forging Zhu Jiuyang. On the contrary, the former Divine Blacksmith Lou Gao has no works made by him, which proves that this technique is in Zhu Jiuyang's hands."
A look of apprehension flashed in Miles' eyes.
The Spirit Hall has four Platinum Bishop. Compared to positions such as the Spirit Hall Branch master, the Platinum Bishop is a nominal position, more of an honor, representing status within the Spirit Hall, but without any real power.
Salas is a true Platinum Bishop, with Soul Power level of 87. He also holds the position of Hall Master of the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Holy Hall Martial Soul Holy Hall Temples in the capitals of the two great empires. His status and power are second only to the Pope, Elders and Venerables.
Miles, on the other hand, was only at the Soul Emperor level, yet he held the title of Platinum Bishop.
The bishop of the Spirit Hall is not a hereditary title of the Empire. Miles's ability to serve as Platinum Bishop clearly indicates that he has made great contributions to the Spirit Hall, and he is certainly not a brainless person.
Of course, there's no denying that he was greedy and lustful; he truly was.
Zhu Jiuyang has already reached the Soul Douluo. Although he has not announced it to the public, Miles has learned of this from the deductions made by his subordinates.
The key is that Zhu Jiuyang's identity is extraordinary. While others may be wary of him as a Platinum Bishop, Zhu Jiuyang is not.
If they really kill him, the Spirit Hall will probably only issue a symbolic condemnation. If the investigation finds that the problem lies with him, Miles may have to bear all the blame.
"My size is too large to swallow the current Blacksmith Association."
Miles was somewhat annoyed.
He came to Gengxin City because he had his eye on the Blacksmith Association.
This is a gathering place for blacksmiths on the continent, a place where armies are built. If you can control all the blacksmiths here, you can quickly create a well-equipped army.
In other words, the Spirit Hall has not yet established a nation and cannot openly expand its army, so it has never been able to take over the Blacksmith Association.
However, Miles had already begun making arrangements here. A Soul Emperor had suppressed the Soul Saint of the Blacksmith Association, preventing them from daring to defy him. This had already crushed the morale of the Blacksmith Association, and the Spirit Hall could easily swallow up the Blacksmith Association whenever it needed to.
He thought he was a shoo-in for the credit, but now he's being told the meat on his chin has become even plumper and juicier, and he can't eat it.
Miles felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.
His face was grim as he made a difficult decision.
"Let the Pope's Palace send someone to discuss cooperation; I'll only take credit for the discovery and the effort I put in."
Having made his decision, he sent a message to the Pope's Palace.
"Speed up, don't waste time. Ten pieces of Spiritual Metal Auction, and it's hard to guarantee that other forces won't notice this."
Miles's discovery of the Spiritual Metal was naturally due to an Auction organized by the Blacksmith Association, which auctioned off a total of twelve pieces of Spiritual Metal.
The Martial Soul Main Hall side only managed to acquire two pieces of Spiritual Metal.
Miles was warned on the spot that he was not allowed to monopolize the auction, and was even made to look foolish by Zhu Jiuyang's Soul Power from a distance.
He could imagine that not only other forces would pay attention to this area, Blacksmith Association itself was also sending out signals and trying to attract attention.
After completing his daily Forging task, Su Ming brought Little Gold to the Blacksmith Association.
It has been over a year since he began to expose his Soul Spirit and Spirit Infusion techniques to the public, and the entire association only has two new Forging Master — Zhu Jiuyang and Duan Jin.
Not bad, Duan Jin.
When he and Zhu Jiuyang were learning Spirit Infusion from Su Ming, he seemed to perform poorly, but in reality, he was already very excellent. It's just that Zhu Jiuyang's foundation was too good, and he was able to force continuous Forging, resulting in a high frequency of trial and error, which made Duan Jin look very dull in comparison.
In fact, Su Ming had calculated that Duan Jin failed about the same number of times as Zhu Jiuyang when completing the first Spirit Infusion operation. After completing the Spirit Infusion and continuing to Forging, the number of failures to complete the full Thousand Forgings with Spirit was also not much different.
There are only three Forging Master, including Su Ming, so far, but there are quite a few Blacksmith with Soul Spirit, more than ten in total.
Among them, the original Divine Blacksmith and the other Grandmaster Craftsman except Zhu Jiuyang are still a long way from breaking through. Three of the original great Master Level have broken through their levels. In addition, there are seven newcomers with lower Forging skills.
Of the seven newcomers, four were from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the remaining three were Lou Gao's grand-disciples.
Two of the three were originally Blacksmith Grandmaster. They cooperated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and obtained authorization for the Spirit Soul Array, thus absorbing Soul Spirit. The third one contributed to the association and absorbed Soul Spirit from Su Ming.
Su Ming pondered the changes in the association over the past year and secretly considered the direction of future reforms before heading towards Zhu Jiuyang's Forging room.
