Chapter 144: Forge the Holy Pen, use the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique, and try spiritual forging.
Soon, the calcination was completed, and Lou Gao used pliers to clamp out the two pieces of meteorite iron and fixed them on the forging table.
"Then shall I start now? You should watch carefully." Lou Gao turned his head to look at Qian Renxue and said something worriedly.
Qian Renxue nodded, "Hurry up, do you really think I'm a child? I won't be distracted in class."
Lou Gao's expression suddenly became serious. He picked up the two heavy forging hammers under the forging table. A purple soul light emerged from his body. Then, a purple pen appeared above Lou Gao's head. It was his martial soul - the Holy Forging Pen.
Lou Gao's Holy Casting Pen has extremely unique capabilities in casting and identification.
The Holy Casting Pen spirit can cut gold and stone and identify treasures, but it has almost no attack power in combat. It is a very special spirit. However, it is precisely because of the characteristics of this spirit that Lou Gao has become the top existence in casting technology and theory in Douluo Continent.
It can be said that he is the most suitable martial soul for sensing metal textures, and he is a natural blacksmith.
One white, one yellow, two purple and two black, six soul rings emerged from under Lou Gao's body.
He swung both arms up at the same time, and then dropped them with a bang. His forging hammer was specially made with good conductivity to soul power. When it fell, it not only had a powerful force, but also amplified his own soul power output, and then squeezed the piece of metal.
It would be difficult for an ordinary person to control the output of soul power, but for Lou Gao, he was already familiar with all the characteristics of these two forging hammers.
The density of meteorite iron is extremely high, and it is quite difficult to forge it. However, after Lou Gao's hammer fell, two marks suddenly appeared on the two pieces of meteorite iron under the hammer, and the feedback sound was clearly transmitted to him through the Holy Casting Pen Martial Spirit above his head.
Judging from the height of the building, he could already fully sense the resonance created by the internal structure of the two pieces of meteorite iron.
Qian Renxue looked at Lou Gao's martial soul carefully and couldn't help but marvel in her heart. The ability of this martial soul was a bit like Huo Yuhao's mental detection.
The hammer was raised again and dropped, and at the same time, Lou Gao's round body began to spin on the spot.
It is the Haotian Sect's unique skill, the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique!
This is what Lou Gao secretly learned when Tang Hao first came to Gengxin City to learn forging. Anyway, it's OK as long as he doesn't use it in front of the people of Haotian Sect. Tang Hao has learned his forging skills, so what's wrong with his chaotic cloak hammer method? ! I didn't ask him to teach me, I learned it by myself.
The chaotic cloak hammer method utilizes the body's rotation to leverage the opponent's force, continuously increasing the power of its own hammering. With each rotation, the force will be added, but the recoil force will also be huge.
Lou Gao is very fat, but because of this his body has a very high tolerance level. The fat on his body can buffer the huge reaction force. With the cultivation and physical ability of a Soul Emperor, he can deliver a complete set of Ninety-Nine Eighty-One Hammers!
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom..."
There was a series of deafening roars, one after another. The sense of rhythm, as well as the mental state of being completely immersed in the forging, all showed Lou Gao's forging level. The title of master craftsman was not in vain.
This forging rhythm can only be achieved by a blacksmith who has gone through thousands of trials and tribulations.
The two pieces of meteorite iron kept changing their shapes, and the gray layer on top also began to change. With the beating of the wind and rain, the two pieces of meteorite iron soon emitted a faint golden color, and the gray layer on top began to disappear silently, and its volume was slowly shrinking.
"The hundred forgings are completed." Lou Gao suddenly said while spinning rapidly.
The roar continued, and he continued to perform the Thousand Forgings without any pause. The Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique made his two hammers fall heavier and heavier, and the light on the two pieces of meteorite iron became stronger and stronger.
The forging hammer swung by Lou Gao had begun to make a low "humming" sound, and even the airflow in the forging room was affected.
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. Would this airflow end up forming a black dragon like Tang San's random hammer technique?
"Boom, boom, boom--" Amid the roaring sounds, the six soul rings under Lou Gao's feet had risen up unknowingly. Soul power was injected and output, and he used soul power and soul skills to make his forging more powerful and more effective.
Lou Gao wanted to show off his skills in front of Qian Renxue, so he chose to forge two pieces of meteorite iron directly. He wanted to show off as much as possible, just to make sure his partners wouldn't look down on him! However, Qian Renxue didn't know how to forge, so naturally she couldn't understand the gold content of forging two pieces of metal directly.
"boom!"
When the eightieth hammer fell, Lou Gao's fat body spun at high speed in the air, looking like a funny meat gyroscope, and his first and second soul rings flashed.
Lou Gao's insight and strength suddenly improved to a higher level, and he swung the last hammer up and down!
“Boom——” The eighty-first hammer!
Two golden lights shot up into the sky at the same time. The two golden lights lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually fading.
"Oh my god! Damn it! I've been forging iron for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen metal glow golden after forging!"
Lou Gao wiped the sweat from his forehead, and only the metal he forged was left in his eyes. He gently stroked the two pieces of meteorite iron with an obsessive look in his eyes.
"Is this considered a success? Is this spiritual forging?! This is amazing!"
Qian Renxue had been standing behind him, two golden rays rose up, and her deep purple eyes were also illuminated.
Qian Renxue walked forward and touched him, then immediately began to flatter him, praising him nonsensically: "Congratulations, Master Lou Gao! But I have a bad news and a good news to tell you, which one do you want to hear first?"
Lou Gao contentedly picked up the metal and kissed it excitedly, with a smug look on his face: "How can there be any bad news! There is no better news than this! I am indeed a master craftsman! Spiritual forging is not a problem for me at all!"
Qian Renxue shook her head: "It's too early for you to be happy. I swear on my martial spirit that this is not spiritual forging."
Lou Gao looked at Qian Renxue in disbelief: "What did you say? This is not a spiritual forging?! But it just glowed! It has life! I have been using my martial soul to communicate with it and understand its inner self, and it has responded to me!"
Qian Renxue sighed, "That's not the radiance of life, it just has a trace of spirituality. My martial soul has the attribute of life. If it really has life, I will not fail to sense it. Remember what I said before? A gifted blacksmith can forge the spirituality of metal during the Thousand Forgings. Unfortunately, this is the Thousand Forgings with Spirit, not the Spirit Forging."
"Spiritual forging will allow the metal to blend into your body. No matter how much your body changes, it will change with you. Battle armor is for spirit masters possessed by martial spirits."
"Moreover, when the spirit forging is finally completed, it needs the blood of its master to establish a blood connection. Only in this way can it be integrated into the body of the corresponding spirit master like a spirit bone."
Lou Gao was stunned for a moment, "Yes, the metal must be able to be integrated into the soul master's body. Now that you put it, it does make sense."
Although the metal in his arms felt different from before, it certainly did not have that feeling of being able to blend seamlessly into the body.
Lou Gao carefully put the metal in his arms back on the iron rack, and then said to Qian Renxue: "It's not a failure. This is also the preliminary work of spiritual forging. After I have spirituality, I have more confidence in spiritual forging. Maybe, before you learn forging, I have already started to think about melt forging, hahahaha."
"Come with me. I will arrange a forging room for you here first. You are a newcomer, and if you forge with me next to me, your rhythm will be easily affected by the sound. Every blacksmith will generate his own forging rhythm, which is very important." Lou Gao brought Qian Renxue to the door of room number eight. After entering, the equipment inside was no different from the one Lou Gao had used before, except that it was not as messy as Lou Gao's forging room and looked clean.
"This will be your exclusive room from now on. I will send someone to deliver you a set of rare metals later. You will have everything I have. Newcomers can have their own forging room here. You are the first one."
Qian Renxue smiled and nodded, then asked, "The hammer technique you used before was the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, right? How did you learn the self-created soul technique of the Haotian Sect? Aren't you afraid that the people of the Haotian Sect will cause trouble for you?"
Lou Gao's face turned a little awkward. He touched his big belly and said, "Don't tell anyone else about this. Tang Hao worked as a blacksmith for me for a few years. I learned it naturally after watching him for a long time. In the final analysis, it's just a method of using the opponent's force to counter the opponent's force. I just don't usually use it in front of outsiders."
"Besides, I learned this secretly, so its power is definitely not as strong as Tang Hao's traditional hammering method. After all, I figured out the force points by myself while watching him forging iron, so they may be different from the original ones, but they are definitely enough for forging iron."
Qian Renxue continued: "You should also teach me this chaotic cloak hammer method. It will be very useful when I am forging."
The corner of Lou Gao's mouth twitched. You are really not polite at all! He only has this little stuff, Qian Renxue is going to peel it all off.
But he didn't refuse, and said, "It's up to you, as long as you don't say you learned it from me when you go out. I don't know any random cloak hammer techniques. I'm just a stinky old iron forger."
"Hehe, don't worry, I certainly won't implicate you. What's more, the Haotian Sect has all gone into seclusion, so what is there to be afraid of?"
Lou Gao then remembered that this person was the ancestor of the Spirit Hall, and the Haotian Sect was defeated by the forces behind her.
Lou Gao patted his belly in satisfaction like a seal, making a popping sound.
"Okay! I feel relieved after hearing your words. Come with me. Your strength should be no problem, right? I will first teach you the basics of ordinary ironworking. How to release force is also an important part. It just so happens that you want to learn the chaotic cloak, so first learn to release force, transform force, and then learn to use force to attack."
"I am the Soul Emperor, who are you looking down on?"
"What the hell?! Are you kidding me? How old are you? The Resurrection Emperor?"
Two months later, inside Forge No. 8.
Qian Renxue is now fourteen years old.
Lou Gao looked at Qian Renxue solemnly. His spirit forging in the past two months had been a complete failure, without a single success. It was obvious that the meteorite iron could become spirit after each forging, and the quality was even getting higher and higher, but it was impossible to truly give birth to new life.
The only thing that comforted Lou Gao was that Qian Ling'er's comprehension was too terrifying. Both her strength and understanding of forging were completely beyond his imagination. In just one week, she mastered the ability of forging. Of course, she could only forge the metals that Lou Gao had taught her, not all metals.
Like a master of copying, she could imitate something exactly after seeing it once. This extraordinary insight and adaptability had amazed Lou Gao countless times.
Even in the thousand-forging techniques of some metals, the quality of Lou Gao's products was not as good as Qian Renxue's. Of course, she was no match for the meteorite iron that Lou Gao was so proud of.
After all, Lou Gao has been studying meteorite iron for many years.
The metal that Qian Renxue chose for spiritual forging this time was magic silver, which was also a metal that was very suitable for Qian Renxue's martial soul.
Magic silver is similar to the favorite sunken silver of the protagonist Tang Wulin in Douluo Dalu. It is also an extremely precious metal. Magic silver has a certain magic property. During the forging process, the blacksmith needs to have a strong soul control ability, otherwise it is easy to be backlashed by the magic silver.
If the Thousand Forgings fail, the side effects will be serious. However, once successfully forged, the power of the magic silver product cannot be underestimated.
Because magic silver has a strong affinity with magic, it can absorb and store a certain amount of magic energy after forging. For soul masters who are good at magic skills, weapons or equipment forged with magic silver can enhance the power and effect of their magic attacks.
It has certain similarities with Shenyin, but its properties are more inclined towards magic.
To put it simply, it is an elemental attack. The eight-winged angel spirit possesses many elements. Instead of choosing a metal with a single attribute, it is better to choose a panacea metal that amplifies all elements.
The calcination was quickly completed, and she used pliers to clamp out the magic silver and secure it.
She raised her hands and swung them lightly, and two forging hammers with spiral patterns fell into her palms. After all, she was a quick learner, and at the beginning she only liked to use her left hand for forging. After being scolded by Lou Gao, she began to use two hammers for forging.
The left hammer bounced up with a light tap, and the right hammer fell down, hitting the magic silver steadily.
With the roar of hammers, forging begins.
Because of her considerable strength, Qian Renxue's hammer was very heavy. Given the excellent ductility of the magic silver, every time it fell, it would undergo a drastic deformation. In less than a minute, the hundred forgings and purification were completed.
After Qian Renxue completed the hundred forgings of the magic silver, she suddenly stretched out her arms and used her two hammers to smash the magic silver in the middle from both sides at the same time. The hammers hit upwards from both sides, so that the rare metal that was concave downwards was instantly squeezed inwards and fused under the high temperature.
This places very high demands on the blacksmith, because the hammers dropped by both hands must be completely consistent, without the slightest deviation; otherwise, due to uneven force, extrusion and fusion cannot be completed at all.
Lou Gao's eyes lit up, it was actually extrusion fusion. This girl's imagination was wild. This was obviously a technique for forging alloys and fusing two metals. Lou Gao originally taught her just to show off in front of Qian Ling'er. He didn't expect that she would use this trick to purify the metal. But then again, her magic silver was completely deformed by her power and it really needed to be reshaped.
Qian Ling'er's strength is really too great. Of course, this is also her unique forging style. Lou Gao will not stop her. It doesn't matter if the metal looks a little strange during the forging process, as long as the final plasticity is fine. After all, the quality of the finished products forged by others is indeed very high, and the shaping is also very beautiful.
She raised her double hammers again, and at the same time, Qian Renxue's body flashed with light, golden feathers fluttered, and six circles of strange soul rings appeared on her body, one yellow, two purple and three black.
Even though Lou Gao had seen this many times, he still couldn't help but feel horrified. How did this monster cultivate? Not only did she have six soul rings at such a young age, but her soul ring age also broke the tradition of the soul master world. If he didn't know that her martial soul was an angel, not a dragon, Lou Gao would have really thought that Qian Ling'er was the world-famous Yu Tianlin.
Brilliant golden light suddenly burst out from the two tungsten steel hammers and fell again.
The magic silver was rendered in a layer of brilliant golden color brought by soul power. Due to the tendency of her martial soul, the soul power cultivated by Qian Renxue was not only strong, but also had a high affinity for elemental power, making it perfect for communicating with the magic silver.
As Qian Renxue continued to forge it, the glowing magic silver continued to deform, like smooth chewing gum, squeezing inwards and then re-melting.
When the volume of the magic silver gradually became half of its previous size, Qian Renxue's forging style suddenly changed, and the originally powerful hammer turned into a gentle tap.
