Gold-Water Mutual Containment

"Mu Han, you succeeded? Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver!" the young girl's exclamation rang out.

Sinking Silver is only produced on the seabed at depths exceeding one thousand meters.

It is extremely hard by nature, yet possesses great ductility under high temperatures.

Whether used in industry or mecha manufacturing, it is a rare and precious material.

At this moment, there sat a piece of Sinking Silver on the table before them.

It was covered in a layer of fine, dense patterns that resembled the waves of the ocean.

However, the Sinking Silver's originally dazzling silver luster had vanished, making it look dull and unremarkable.

While the Thousand-Refined Sinking Silver looked unremarkable, the blacksmith himself looked even more so.

It was not that this eight or nine-year-old boy was particularly plain.

Though he had black hair, he possessed a pair of clear, azure eyes.

If he were to dress in women's clothing, he would undoubtedly be breathtakingly beautiful.

Yet, at this moment, he simply gave off an "unassuming" impression.

Beside him stood a young girl who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

She was tall and very beautiful.

Her large eyes were bright and spirited. Her golden hair was tied into a ponytail, and her tight-fitting outfit made her look very sharp.

Hearing the exclamation of his sister Mu Xi, Mu Han let out a soft sigh; he had finally succeeded.

Mu Han was a transmigrator.

After being sent into an embryo by a fully-insured semi-trailer, he was born into this Douluo Continent.

Living in an orphanage, he had no name, only a serial number; the name "Mu Han" was adopted later.

When Mu Han grew a little older and heard the term "Martial Soul," he realized he had transmigrated into the Douluo Continent.

Starting out with his parents deceased and raised in an orphanage, the only thing he could rely on was his Martial Soul awakening at age six.

No matter how ordinary one's background, everyone looks forward to this day.

Because it could very well change a child's life, or even benefit an entire family.

For Mu Han, the transmigrator, this was even more true.

During his time at the orphanage, Mu Han investigated the timeline he had transmigrated into.

In reality, it was quite easy to investigate.

First, he checked if the Spirit Pagoda's Pagoda Master was Qian Gu Dongfeng.

Then, he looked at the Skysea Alliance Tournament and the All-Federation Tournament.

The former was held every three years, the latter every five.

In the original work, the All-Federation Tournament took place one year after the Skysea Alliance Tournament.

This situation only occurred once every thirty years.

Therefore, it was relatively easy to calculate.

He just hadn't expected to transmigrate into the Legend of the Dragon King era, and to be the same age as Tang Wulin.

After figuring out the timeline, everything else depended on the awakening day at age six.

If his Martial Soul was good, he would have the qualifications to stir up the winds and clouds and face the schemes of God King Tang.

If his Martial Soul was bad, then so be it.

Either don't do it, or if you do, you must do it thoroughly.

If there was no way to oppose God King Tang, then it would be better to do nothing at all.

This would avoid triggering a butterfly effect that might lead to an even worse outcome.

Fortunately, Mu Han's Martial Soul was indeed quite good.

It was a piece of metal, which should be classified as a Tool Martial Soul, right?

It looked pale blue, but inside were streaks of gold that resembled silk threads.

It possessed both gold and water elements, perfectly fusing the two together.

The Spirit Master who came to the orphanage to awaken his soul also saw the extraordinary nature of this object.

But with his level of knowledge, he had never seen this kind of metal before.

Instead, it was Mu Han who successfully recognized this Martial Soul.

Wasn't this thing the rare metal Gold-Water Mutual Containment that appeared in the original work?

In terms of value alone, it could definitely rank in the top three among all metals.

In terms of rarity, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it number one.

It had an affinity for all other metals and could fuse with any metal to become a part of it.

However, because its intrinsic value exceeds that of the vast majority of metals, almost no one would ever do such a thing.

Yet, a piece of metal like this was his own martial soul?

Even so, the quality of this martial soul was beyond reproach, and Mu Han's Innate Soul Power was also level ten.

In other words, Innate Full Soul Power!

Every time a soul master reaches a level that is a multiple of ten, they require a soul ring.

A level ten soul scholar without a soul ring is not much stronger than an ordinary person.

Soul rings can be obtained by hunting soul beasts, but soul spirits possess more advantages than soul rings, including the ability to grow.

Moreover, soul beasts are now on the verge of extinction, making them extremely difficult to obtain.

That leaves only soul spirits.

For an ordinary person, there is only one way to obtain a soul spirit, and that is to purchase it from the Spirit Pagoda.

However, newcomers with excellent martial souls and fast cultivation speeds can obtain their first soul spirit for free.

Possessing Innate Full Soul Power, Mu Han clearly qualified for this.

But back then, he had applied to cash out this free qualification.

He left a portion of the money for the orphanage, considering it a buyout for the upbringing he had received over the past six years.

Then, he took the remaining money and headed east.

Since he was the same age as Tang Wulin, he would walk the path of the main protagonist group.

And the east was the starter village for the main protagonist group.

He first went to Proud Arrival City, and relying on his foreknowledge of the original work, he brought Na'er home one step ahead of Tang Wulin.

Regarding this, Mu Han admitted that he coveted Gu Yuena.

Having arrived in the era of Legend of the Dragon King, it would be unjustifiable not to have some designs on Gu Yuena.

However, this Na'er was merely an incidental gain.

After finding Na'er, he headed straight for Eastsea City.

It took him a year to finally catch the eye of the eight-ring Saint Craftsman, Mu Chen.

To be precise, he caught the eye of his daughter, Mu Xi.

Since she was young, what Mu Xi loved most was watching her father forge.

Her father told her that forging was not suitable for girls, and that swinging a hammer was something men should do.

But the stubborn Mu Xi insisted on her own passion.

She had been swinging a specially made small hammer since she was five years old.

At age six, she awakened her father's martial soul.

Coupled with her willingness to work hard, she persisted for two full years starting from age five, imitating her father's movements every single day.

Mu Xi's love for forging came from the bottom of her heart!

This was what truly moved Mu Chen, leading him to officially begin teaching her how to forge.

He even had to find some special medicinal herbs to help his daughter maintain her figure, ensuring that while Mu Xi developed enough strength, she wouldn't turn into a brawny tomboy.

At age eleven, she officially became a first-rank blacksmith.

As it turned out, not long after, another talent emerged.

A seven-year-old first-rank blacksmith had actually appeared?

In the history of the Blacksmith Association, the youngest person to pass the evaluation was eight years and six months old.

A seven-year-old child had become a first-rank blacksmith just like her?

He was even specially praised by the evaluator, who claimed his hundred-forging level had already reached the second rank, and that he simply didn't know how to craft parts.

The implication was already very clear.

That guy's hundred-forging level was clearly superior to her own!

And so, Mu Xi used her father's privileges to track down that little fellow.

The original work mentioned that she was a competitive girl.

And Mu Han had counted on exactly that.

Unlike in the original work where Tang Wulin refused her challenge and nearly caused a scene, Mu Han accepted it.

Right in front of Mu Xi, he used his Gold-Water Mutual Containment martial soul to directly purge the impurities from the metal.

Mu Xi only saw a flash of blue-tinged golden light merge into the metal.

Then, that piece of metal reached the hundred-forging level.

It was even infinitely close to thousand-forging.
