Soul Forging Infused with the Thoughts of All Beings
"Hehe."
Lin Yuan chuckled a few times, then severed the connection between himself and the God-Concealing Cloak.
He then took out his communicator and dialed Yang Hui's number. Yang Hui initially refused, but half a minute later, a video call came in.
"Oh my, our Zoffy, the Child of Stars, Lin Yuan, has grown up to be even more handsome! Hehe, Lin Yuan, you have no idea how One Person we female warriors were when the Shrek students in the army started to associate you, Zoffy, with Lin Yuan. The doors of the War God Temple were practically broken down."
As soon as the call connected, before Lin Yuan could even speak, Yang Hui's hearty laughter came through.
"I never imagined that Zoffy was you, Lin Yuan! Even your uncle was fooled."
'Damn Child of Stars!'
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan silently took out a cup from his storage container, took a sip of water to calm himself down, and then said:
"Oh, Uncle, I wanted to tell you that I've completed Soul Forging. Hmm, I'm only one step away from the next stage, Heavenly Tempering or Divine Forging. It's your birthday in a few days, Uncle, but I probably won't be able to make it. I'll ask Pavilion Master Wang to mail it to me later."
"Wait, put your birthday aside for now, you've completed the Soul Forging?!"
Yang Hui's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"Um."
Lin Yuan nodded.
"Oh my, this Lin Yuan..." Yang Hui clapped his hands excitedly, "I was originally thinking of sending a few Saint Craftsman to help you! A twelve-year-old Saint Craftsman, in the tens of thousands of years of the Federation, or even in the entire universe, there has never been anyone so young."
"Of course, Old Yang."
Just then, Wang Tianyu's hearty laughter suddenly came from outside the door.
Lin Yuan turned around and saw Wang Tianyu striding over, holding a piece of metal that emitted a white halo in his hand. Elder Tree walked over with him, and behind Wang Tianyu was the president of the Blacksmith Association with a resentful expression.
The president of the Blacksmith Association looked at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan looked back at him. The president pursed his lips and transmitted his thoughts:
"Junior, I've been robbed! I've only been studying metals for a short time, and the teacher barged in and took everything, saying, 'How can I possibly understand this?'"
Lin Yuan:...
"Old Wang, Elder Tree, did you two get struck by lightning?"
"Wait a minute, I heard from the military on our Home Planet that dark clouds have gathered over Shrek Academy. Could it be that you're the one who caused this?"
"Brother Yang, I've been at the Divine Rank for quite some time now, but I'm still a long way from the True God Level. As for Elder Tree, needless to say, he never focused on cultivation anyway, so how could he possibly attract tribulation clouds?"
"Cataclysmic clouds?!"
Yang Hui's voice rose several octaves.
"Brother Yang, didn't Lin Yuan tell you? Elder Tree and I thought Lin Yuan was preparing for Divine Forging. That tribulation cloud must have been attracted by Lin Yuan. Hehe, Divine Craftsman who is only twelve years old and one step away from becoming a divine craftsman, if others heard it, it would be a complete fantasy. I even have a strange feeling that if Lin Yuan hadn't been worried that he couldn't withstand the tribulation cloud, he probably would have really been Divine Forging."
Lin Yuan:...
Yang Hui:...
The president of the Blacksmith Association stared in disbelief. "You really want to use Divine Forging?"
"Cough cough cough, so it wasn't finished in the end, was it?"
Lin Yuan coughed a few times.
President of the Blacksmith Association:...
"This... Lin Yuan, a half-step Divine Craftsman, how do you know about forging?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I was bored some time ago and found the handwriting of a Divine Craftsman named Zhenhua from ten thousand years ago. Based on what he wrote, and with a little bit of my own ingenuity, I created it like this."
Then, Lin Yuan explained the micro and macro perspectives.
Everyone:?
We're all military officers, why are we saying these things?
Even the president of the Blacksmith Association was completely confused. He only knew how to swing a sledgehammer and fuse Soul Power, Divine Power, and bloodline power, but he didn't really understand the details.
"Hehe, Lin Yuan, you're probably old enough to publish a book."
Yang Hui shook his head and smiled bitterly. He felt that something was wrong, but there didn't seem to be any more reasonable explanation. After all, the military had protected Lin Yuan very well. When Lan Xiao first met Lin Yuan, the military immediately launched an investigation into Lan Xiao's family and only allowed Lan Xiao to have contact with him after confirming that there was nothing wrong with them.
It can only be attributed to Lin Yuan's exceptional talent.
"But Lao Wang, since it was Lin Yuan who attracted the tribulation clouds, and you hadn't even stepped out of the Divine Forging, how come you were struck by lightning?"
"We didn't expect Lin Yuan to be inexperienced, so we took the lightning rod to see if we could attract the wrath of the tribulation clouds. But who knew that the tribulation clouds had no intention of striking Lin Yuan at all. However, because I was holding the lightning rod, the tribulation clouds mistook it for a provocation and it came down directly."
Wang Tianyu's dark face was full of helplessness, which made the Elder Tree was also blackened by the splitting, glare and bristle.
"But Old Yang, the Lin Yuan you've raised is really quite good. He has a strange kind of Gravity. Even I, who once regarded Zoffy as a scourge, have gradually come to like this student after spending time with Lin Yuan."
Wang Tianyu looked at Lin Yuan, filled with emotion.
"Hahahaha! Old Wang, you're right. Lin Yuan is just that outstanding. But let's not talk about raising him or not; it's all about Lin Yuan's own development."
Yang Hui laughed heartily.
"But Lin Yuan, since you forged this Soul Forging yourself, your uncle doesn't have the face to accept it directly. Just keep it. You can forge another Soul Forging to make up for it later. Besides, Soul Forging is usually tied to an individual."
"No, I think everyone can use my Soul Forging."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
'After all, it ultimately merged with the Thoughts of All Beings in the Voice of the Stars.'
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
What does it mean that everyone can use it?
This means that the most important metal for Battle Armor is no longer restricted, and a blacksmith is no longer needed!
The convenience it offers is unimaginable!
One day later, early morning, on the road leading to the teaching building and the Simulation Pod.
Since Lin Yuan was going out on a mission, Wang Tianyu suggested that since he was going out on a mission, he should become Heaven Fighter, which would not only provide extra rewards but also earn Heaven Fighter points.
Lin Yuan remembered that a few years ago, Aunt Yan had reported him to a mission called "Sin Planet: Sin Monarch," which was level seven. Yang Hui had mentioned it before.
A single Titled Douluo Eternal Night Monarch wouldn't even reach Level 7, at most Level 6, but the Eternal Night Monarch of the Sin Planet launching an invasion is a completely different matter.
This was already a fierce conflict preceding war, and the Federation suspected that its entire Federation had flaws. If a small Titled Douluo fleet could invade the Federation, what would other, larger powers think?
That's why it was classified as a Level 7 Heaven Fighter mission.
Lin Yuan's next goal was simple: to go to the Sin Planet, cultivate the Supernova Explosion, find the Divine Artifact, and see if he could obtain any information about the Longma Galaxy, while also preparing for his breakthrough to level 40.
Based on the pattern of breaking through the third ring, the difficulty of each breakthrough began to increase, and it increasingly tended to become a ritual.
This is very strange. Even someone as powerful as the Little Dragon God only needed high-quality rare and precious materials to stabilize his foundation and provide the energy for his breakthrough. So what is the reason for my breakthrough?
Lin Yuan began to brainstorm.
This is completely unlike Douluo; if you need to go to a specific place, where does the energy come from?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Yuan still couldn't come up with an answer.
However, before the Heaven Fighter mission begins, Lin Yuan still needs to choose the department he will study in at the Academy.
There's not much to say about the department selection. Thanks to the efforts of Wang Tianyu and Elder Tree, they chose the two areas of practical combat and life affinity. Apart from life affinity, Wang Tianyu directly helped Lin Yuan pass the practical combat exam.
"Lin Yuan, Old Yang and I have a pretty good relationship within Shrek, so I'll just call you Lin Yuan from now on."
On the way to the Simulation Pod, Wang Tianyu said:
"You may not know this, but I originally intended to use the Blood Trial as your final assessment. Although you have passed the assessment, given your talent, I believe it would be best to subject you to the Blood Trial. I estimated your true combat strength to be at the Soul Emperor level, which is already at the standard for sixth-year students in the outer academy."
"This is something that takes place one or two years after entering the inner academy. The Blood Trial is not a regular training program in the Douluo World because this kind of trial can easily cause psychological trauma. The impact of killing in the Blood Trial is no different from that in reality—real internal organs, real blood..."
"After reaching a certain level of cultivation, Soul Master who wish to continue breaking through often need to take on certain risks. The higher their talent, the greater the risk. At this point, willpower becomes paramount, and the Blood Trial is the best test of willpower."
"Furthermore, you've already decided to go out on a mission, and without the corresponding willpower, this will be extremely detrimental to your upcoming mission."
