Tang Hao's Killing Intent
Bibi Dong was not angry.
Yue Guan's words were not inappropriate.
"Your His Holiness the Pope, the Blacksmith Association is located in the Star Luo Empire Star Luo Empire, making it naturally suitable for cooperation with them. Moreover, the Star Luo Empire's military strength clearly surpasses that of the Heaven Dou Empire. If this balance is lost, the Star Luo Empire's invasion of Heaven Dou will be imminent."
At this point, Yue Guan began to discuss the current situation.
"Maintaining stability between the two great empires is beneficial to our actions. If a large-scale war breaks out and the Star Luo Empire annexes the Heaven Dou Empire, then we will be at a great disadvantage and may not even be able to gain the upper hand."
Yue Guan's explanation was very insightful; it was clear that his eagerness to go to the Blacksmith Association to discuss cooperation stemmed from the situation between the two great empires.
The Blacksmith Association cannot fall into the hands of the Star Luo Empire alone; it must also establish cooperation with the Heaven Dou Empire in order to maintain a balance.
The Spirit Hall serves as the bridge between them.
As for who should step forward, it naturally couldn't be the Elder Hall group, because Yue Guan that Qian Renxue was an undercover agent in Heaven Dou. If the Spirit Hall and the Blacksmith Association were also contacting Qian Renxue's faction at this time, it would be very disadvantageous for their Pope's faction.
"Do as you said, go and talk to Zhu Jiuyang."
Bibi Dong agreed to let Yue Guan go to discuss cooperation.
She glanced at the Gui Mei on the other side and nodded.
It was said that Yue Guan went there, but in reality, he went with Gui Mei.
Gengxin City.
Xiao Ming's Forge Shop.
A middle-aged man stood in front of the Forging Shop Forging Shop, looking at it thoughtfully.
The man was tall and burly, reeking of alcohol. He was dressed in shabby clothes, his tattered robe devoid of patches, revealing bronze skin through the holes. His face beneath the cloak was weathered, his once handsome features now sallow, his eyes dull and vacant, his hair a tangled mess like a bird's nest, and his beard unkempt.
Tang Hao looked at the Forging Shop in front of him, his doubts reaching their peak.
Along with the doubt arose a murderous intent.
"My control over my killing intent shouldn't be off."
After obtaining the Divine Slaughter's Domain, he underwent relevant training and was able to suppress his killing intent. Could it be that he neglected his cultivation for so many years, causing changes in the Divine Slaughter's Domain?
"Changes in the blacksmithing field are a good thing, so why would I harbor murderous intent...?"
Tang Hao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed himself down.
He glanced at Xiao Ming's Forge Shop, which disgusted him and inexplicably aroused his murderous intent, then turned and left, heading towards the city. He wanted to thoroughly investigate Gengxin City.
"Spiritual Metal..."
He is searching for more Spiritual Metal.
Blacksmith Association, Fifth Floor.
"Teacher, let's use Blood Sacrifice!"
Su Ming suggested in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jiuyang, who had just completed the Thousand Forgings First Grade, immediately began to bleed without saying a word.
In his blood, Sacred Fire surged into the Rare Metal before him.
After the Blood Sacrifice, a pillar of flame, exuding a sacred aura, rose up, reaching a height of three feet!
A foot of Spirituality light is considered Thousand Forgings First Grade; this three-foot-long light is Forging that even many Saint Craftsman of later generations could only complete when they were in good condition.
It was precisely because of the perfection of this Forging that Su Ming suggested Zhu Jiuyang Blood Sacrifice, because after the Blood Sacrifice, Zhu Jiuyang's Life would be temporarily connected with this metal, which would be very beneficial in guiding this metal to complete the Spiritual Forging!
Indeed, this time Su Ming saw the possibility of his teacher successfully breaking through to the Spiritual Forging.
Zhu Jiuyang lost a lot of blood, but it didn't affect him much. He circulated his Soul Power and swung the Forging Hammer to continue Forging.
Su Ming watched this scene from the side, also with a learning attitude.
He's only Spirit Forging Grandmaster after all. Even if Zhu Jiuyang is just trying to break through to Spiritual Forging, Su Ming can learn a lot from him.
In this era, Rare Metal lacked spirit, so in order to improve their Forging skills, Grandmaster Blacksmith like Zhu Jiuyang each delved to the extreme in their respective fields. Zhu Jiuyang, for example, elevated his control over fire to the ultimate level.
In his hands, the flames danced like spirits, seemingly fierce, yet actually nurturing the Spirituality within the metal. With each hammer blow, not only did the power penetrate the metal, but the sacred flames also seeped into it.
This Forging technique was something he had developed over the past year by combining his previous skills. Su Ming had never seen it before in the Dou San era, so it was definitely worth learning.
After the Blood Sacrifice, Zhu Jiuyang could clearly feel the Spirituality pulse of the Rare Metal in front of him, and could feel its Life about to burst forth.
He gave it his all with every strike.
He infused Sacred Fire into Rare Metal, replacing himself with the flames and merging into the metal to awaken the dormant Life.
His Martial Soul burst forth from his body.
The Zhu Family's inherited Martial Soul is the Fire Spirit, which wields Holy Attribute flames.
At this moment, a phantom in the shape of a flame appeared behind Zhu Jiuyang, taking him as its model and condensing behind him.
At this moment, the Rare Metal, the Fire Spirit, and Zhu Jiuyang are closely connected.
Su Ming was momentarily lost in thought as he watched this scene.
this...
Is this still Spiritual Forging?
Spiritual Forging imbues metal with Life, followed by Soul Forging Spiritual Forging. The purpose of Soul Forging is to pass on this new Life. Generally, the Blacksmith infuses it with their Spiritual Power and Soul Power, passing on their abilities to the metal through their own insights.
What is Zhu Jiuyang doing now?
In his pursuit of Spiritual Forging, he actually reached a level where he could perfectly fuse his Martial Soul with Rare Metal.
If we go a step further, can we directly Soul Forging?
Of course, Su Ming was overthinking it.
Zhu Jiuyang was struggling even with Spiritual Forging at this moment. Sweat was pouring down his forehead. The fusion of his Martial Soul into the metal was causing his spirit to become instantly exhausted, and was rapidly draining his mental energy.
Without skill, even a high level of understanding is useless.
In an era lacking in skills, Zhu Jiuyang's actions only needlessly depleted his energy, and the communication costs with Rare Metal were infinitely amplified.
However, this drastic loss also did establish a deep connection between him and Rare Metal.
A glimmer of hope appeared.
Zhu Jiuyang himself couldn't count how many times he swung the hammer. His senses were even blurred. He was just swinging the hammer instinctively. He was extremely mentally exhausted.
He seemed to become one with the metal.
He simply sensed instinctively whether each strike was good or bad for him, adjusting the angle and force of the next strike accordingly.
"Teacher!"
Su Ming seized the opportunity and woke Zhu Jiuyang at the crucial moment.
Zhu Jiuyang jolted awake, snapping out of his previous state.
He looked at the Rare Metal in front of him and noticed that its Spirituality was rapidly waning. He immediately gritted his teeth and swung his hammer.
"Leave it here!"
He roared, Sacred Flame enveloped the Forging Hammer, merging it powerfully into the Rare Metal with each strike.
Boom!
A dazzling light burst forth from the Rare Metal on the Forging table, forming a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
Sacred Flame encircled this Spirituality pillar of light, adding Life to it.
