Mu Chen rolled his eyes and waved his hand, "If you want to thank someone, thank your Teacher. Senior Brother specially badgered me for a while last night, asking me to give you this piece of yang soul gold as a meeting gift."
After speaking, Mu Chen also snorted coldly, "Someday I'll also have my disciple go to your Teacher under the guise of a meeting gift to get something good back."
"This is a matter for our older generation, so I won't chatter on with a junior like you. Go back and prepare well to break through to level five." Mu Chen waved his hand, telling him to leave.
"This junior bids farewell," Qian Mo put away the yang soul gold and exited the private room.
At noon, Qian Mo found Shen Yi and requested to leave. After Shen Yi learned that Qian Mo was going to see Zhen Hua, she readily approved Qian Mo's departure.
"I'll leave first, take good care of yourself." After Qian Mo said goodbye to Gu Yuena, he walked out of the hotel and met the person Zhen Hua had sent to pick him up.
"Senior Mu Ye, you've actually come to pick me up." Qian Mo looked at the old man in front of him in surprise.
"Hmm, Zhen Hua isn't at ease about his precious disciple, so he insisted that I come and pick you up personally." Mu Ye's tone was quite displeased. He grabbed Qian Mo, not caring about his posture, and took him back to the Heaven Dou City Forge Master Association headquarters.
In the afternoon, the rested Qian Mo stood in the Divine Craftsman's exclusive forging room, standing tall like a pine, his gaze solemn as he looked at the thorianite on the forging table.
"Using the heart as the hammer, the Spirit as the guide, mind and spirit as one, forging life through myriad strikes, this is Spirit Forging." Zhen Hua said seriously from the side.
"Spirit Forging and Thousand Forging are a qualitative difference, just like Dou Armor with only one word difference has vastly different power. Spirit Forging will make the metal sublimate, sublimating into another realm. Once Spirit Forging begins, it cannot be stopped. Are you ready?"
Qian Mo took a deep breath. A year of preparation was for this moment. "I've long been ready."
"Then, begin," Zhen Hua stood aside, ready.
As soon as his voice fell, Qian Mo began.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom,"
Intense booming sounds continuously rang out with a very strange rhythm. Qian Mo continuously hammered and refined the thorianite with meticulous precision.
The piece of thorianite was rapidly shrinking, and its own light was getting brighter and brighter. The texture gradually became fine and regular, and the booming sound gradually became clearer. This was clearly an effect that could only be produced by the continuous improvement of the metal's quality.
As the thirtieth hammer strike fell, a violent boom accompanied a silver light that shot into the Sky, rising a full three feet and lasting for a long time.
Thousand Forging with Spirit, first grade realm. Having completed Thousand Forging so easily, Qian Mo's breathing was only slightly rapid, and there were only a few drops of sweat on his forehead.
Qian Mo's movements didn't stop. He held the forging hammer and continuously struck the thorianite, producing crisp and pleasant "ding ding" sounds.
The Thousand Forged thorianite actually also produced "ding ding" sounds, as if responding to Qian Mo.
When he clearly heard the thorianite's response, Qian Mo suddenly had an epiphany. His eyes brightened. With one hammer strike, his mind and spirit were completely immersed in communication with the thorianite.
Thousand Forging with Spirit imbues the thorianite with a spirit. Taking advantage of this spirit's appearance, using the Spirit as a bridge to communicate and help it shape life, this is the process of Spirit Forging.
Every Spirit Forging is a huge test for a Spirit Master, because it involves their own spirit power, life force, and the process of merging with the metal. This is why Zhen Hua held Qian Mo back until now before letting him attempt Spirit Forging.
Because of the characteristics of the sacred aura, Qian Mo very smoothly established communication and connection with the thorianite. He clearly sensed the thorianite's joy and closeness.
One step to heaven! Forging life through myriad strikes.
Forging with the heart through myriad strikes, that is constant exchange and communication. Each gentle hammer strike maintained the spirit of the Thousand Forged thorianite. spirit power was injected, guiding it to produce its own life.
Qian Mo's perfectly smooth communication with the thorianite guided it to undergo a qualitative change, until sublimation.
During Spirit Forging, the most feared thing is losing the connection with the rare metal and the life construction not being continuous. Once that happens, the rare metal will instantly lose all its spirit and become ordinary metal, not even Thousand Forged anymore. This is also why Spirit Forging is so resource-intensive.
Three spirit rings rose beneath Qian Mo's feet, continuously supplying him with spirit power to maintain the communication with the thorianite.
Sacred Flame rose from the thorianite. Its volume was constantly decreasing, and golden patterns appeared on it. It was undergoing some peculiar change.
"Ding ding, ding ding, ding ding!" Each crisp strike, each peculiar collision, made everything marvelous and full of rhythm.
Zhen Hua stared intently at this scene. He had been looking forward to the arrival of Spirit Forging.
Qian Mo took a deep breath. The golden light in his eyes shone brighter. He raised the forging hammer high and fiercely smashed it down.
"Boom!"
A golden light instantly shot into the Sky, rising more than five feet high. An angel spread its wings in the light, holding a long cross sword pointing towards the Sky, looking heroic and extraordinary.
The dazzling light, the fluctuation filled with life aura, gave people an indescribably strange feeling. It was clearly a life form, praising its own existence and cheering for its appearance.
It was born!
Thousand Forging with Spirit, forging life through myriad strikes, Spirit Forging succeeded!
Metal that reaches Spirit Forging will become a part of the body. This is also why Two-Word Battle Armor made through Spirit Forging can integrate into the body and be called true Dou Armor.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo,"
Qian Mo was panting heavily, but his eyes were still bright, full of excitement and exhilaration. From this moment on, he was a Grandmaster-level blacksmith, truly having achieved something significant in forging.
"Hahaha, hahaha," Zhen Hua laughed heartily, looking up at the Sky. He saw the future hope of the forging world. He saw the figure of a future Divine Craftsman.
Zhen Hua placed his hand on Qian Mo's shoulder, felt the condition inside his body, and showed a hint of surprise. "This Spirit Forging didn't consume much of you!"
Of course, Qian Mo, possessing two divine-level Spirits, had extremely high-quality spirit power within him. During the forging process, he also had the enhancement of Qi and Blood Power, and the assistance of his profound mental force in communicating with the metal. These three aspects combined allowed Qian Mo to still have enough energy to perform Spirit Forging again.
Zhen Hua nodded, "Okay, solidify your Spirit Forging a bit more, and then you can directly attempt Fusion Forging. At that time, you can achieve it in one step and forge Spirit Alloy to make your own One-Word Battle Armor."
Spirit Alloy is when a blacksmith, through forging, fuses different metals together, forming them uniformly, with the purpose of improving their quality and characteristics, finally completing Spirit Forging.
One-Word Battle Armor made from Spirit Alloy can integrate into the body like Two-Word Battle Armor and has an extremely high compatibility with the Spirit, far exceeding One-Word Battle Armor made through Thousand Forging.
After the Spirit Master's level is sufficient, they can continue forging towards Spirit Forging, and it can evolve into Two-Word Battle Armor.
Although Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor is good, due to some rules restricting Dou Armor manufacturing, very few Spirit Masters start with Spirit Alloy One-Word Battle Armor.
