Qin Fang looked over. The ore was pale blue throughout, but countless black specks were mixed within it. Those were its impurities.

Qin Fang closed his eyes. The blue-gold pattern between his brows lit up, and Cyan Pupils gleamed as he entered a state of Life Perception.

Everything in the laboratory seemed to come alive.

Qin Fang focused on the ore and sensed its breathing. It was incomparably labored, as though it had been completely blocked. It wanted to struggle, but its efforts were futile.

The black speck impurities possessed no life, but Qin Fang could see even more clearly, able to view even its interior at a glance.

Boom! The flames burning atop the Operation Table also burst forth with life, proudly displaying their form like a bodybuilding champion.

Qin Fang tossed the metal onto the flames to heat it. It seemed terrified and resistant, unwilling to endure the pain.

Clang! The Dragon Phoenix First Hammer descended, and Qin Fang quietly infused it with a trace of Life Aura.

Clang! The second hammer fell.

Every strike Qin Fang delivered helped temper the impurities within it, allowing it to breathe more smoothly. After nine strikes, it went from resistance to submission, then actively cooperated, voluntarily exposing its weak points.

Clang, clang, clang.

Qin Fang tempered it for a full hour before finally removing every black speck impurity from the metal. Its volume had shrunk by half.

In an instant, the metal radiated a pure blue glow that illuminated the entire laboratory. It seemed to have undergone a fundamental transformation.

The next second, black clouds abruptly gathered above the Soul Engineer laboratory. They were incomparably heavy and carried a faint aura of destruction.

The pure blue metal conveyed fear, wanting to hide in Qin Fang's arms.

Sensing that something was wrong, Qin Fang raised his head and looked at the sky.

Electrolux's urgent voice rang out. "You brat, it seems you've accidentally created something extraordinary. Hurry to an open area and prepare to undergo the tribulation. Help this little fellow block the lightning."

Qin Fang froze. A Thunder Tribulation? No way. Could he withstand it? Electrolux seemed to hear his thoughts and said, "You can withstand it. Besides, the Thunder Tribulation will benefit you. The Life Aura in your body has accumulated too deeply and needs the power of lightning to disperse it."

Qin Fang smashed through the window and rushed toward an open area.

The dense black clouds made every instructor at Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy tense up.

The Old Dean of Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy widened his clouded eyes and stared at the sky in shock. Was this... a Hundred Thousand Year tribulation for a soul beast? No, it was far too weak.

The next moment, the Old Dean erupted with the aura of a Titled Douluo and arrived at the site of the Thunder Tribulation, where he saw Qin Fang sprinting across the ground.

At the same time, the academy's Soul Saint-level instructors gathered there one after another, preparing to deal with the academy's "great calamity."

"What happened?"

"Why is there a Thunder Tribulation in the academy? Isn't that exclusive to soul beasts?"

"Look, it's that kid."

The vice dean and the instructors all turned their gazes toward Qin Fang.

Jing Hongchen of Mingde Hall also arrived. His eyes shone with a blazing brilliance.

Qin Fang continued running with all his strength. At last, he reached the open Training Field and shouted, "Leave this place, now!"

The students hurried away in panic. Those whose legs had gone weak were swiftly carried away by Soul Saint instructors.

The Scorpion Tiger Douluo, who had been secretly protecting Qin Fang, was rather thick-headed as well. What was this Saint Son doing? He had even attracted a Thunder Tribulation?

Weren't Evil Soul Masters supposed to fear Thunder Tribulations? Even he would have his strength weakened by thirty or forty percent beneath one.

Within the Underground Palace of Mingdu, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui sensed this aura at once. With a flash, they arrived in the air and looked at the Thunder Tribulation in surprise. When they saw Qin Fang at its center, they were even mildly shocked.

Long Xiaoyao asked in confusion, "Qin Fang? How could he have attracted a Thunder Tribulation?"

Ye Xishui's gaze narrowed as she spotted the metal in Qin Fang's chest, flashing with pure blue light. Surprise gleamed in her eyes as she said in astonishment, "This kid accidentally forged a God-level Metal."

Long Xiaoyao wanted to say something more, but the Thunder Tribulation had already descended. Just as he was about to intervene and disperse the lightning, Ye Xishui stopped him. "Don't. This is the tribulation of the God-level Metal. Only it and its forger can bear it together. If anyone else interferes, they'll be affected, and even stronger lightning will erupt."

When the Old Dean of Sun Moon Royal Empire Academy saw Qin Fang wearing the academy's robes, he also wanted to rescue him, but Long Xiaoyao stopped him.

That black lightning transformed into a roaring giant dragon and descended upon Qin Fang with traces of destructive intent.

The Thunder Tribulation split into two. Under the destructive aura of the lightning, the pure blue metal underwent a true transformation, gradually changing from pure blue radiance into a profound deep hue. The spirituality developing within it grew even stronger.

The lightning burrowed into Qin Fang's body, destroying and ravaging him from within.

Yet the Life Aura within Qin Fang's body was too explosive. The lightning would destroy his Meridians one moment, and the Life Aura would repair them the next. Moreover, the newly formed Meridians possessed greater toughness and strength than before.

For Qin Fang, this Thunder Tribulation was not a calamity, but rebirth. Though the process was incomparably painful, Qin Fang could still endure it.

That lightning transformed into small snakes and burrowed into Qin Fang's Spiritual Sea. In an instant, his entire Spiritual Sea began to churn, expanding and becoming purer under the lightning's stimulation.

As time passed, Qin Fang's aura not only failed to diminish, but instead continued to grow stronger. This left Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui astonished. What was happening?

The final lightning snake within Qin Fang's body could no longer stir up any waves. It was caught by the Three-colored Pupils floating above his Spiritual Sea and vanished.

The Thunder Tribulation ended, and the pitch-black clouds in the sky faded away like diluted ink, dispersing completely.

White smoke escaped from Qin Fang's mouth. His face was charred black, every strand of his hair stood on end, and even fragments of dead skin fell from him with a rustle.

Ignoring his own condition, Qin Fang hurriedly inspected the metal in his arms.

This Titan Crystal Stone was now only as long as a thumb. Deep blue light shimmered across its surface, dazzling beyond compare. Who could still tell that its original nature was a Titan Crystal Stone?

In his Life Perception state, a childish consciousness manifested within the metal, like a small cluster of mist, and stammered, "Master, thank you."

The metal had gained sentience. Qin Fang was so startled that he nearly threw it away.

The Soul Engineers of level seven and above standing in the air all had blazing flames in their eyes as they stared fixedly at the metal in Qin Fang's hand. Its allure to them had reached the extreme.

This was simply a perfect metal. It was hard to imagine how powerful a Soul Tool made from it would be.

Even Ye Xishui was no exception. God-level Metal truly lived up to its name. She had once seen a description of God-level Metal in ancient records: it was utterly pure and flawless, without a trace of impurities, radiated a lustrous treasure light, and amplified Soul Power by more than 100%.
