Chapter 72 Blacksmith Positioning
“For more than 70% of the soul masters on the Douluo Continent, a defensive instrument is always more popular than a weapon!”
When he said this, Ling Yi's eyebrows were filled with a strong look of confidence.
Hearing Ling Yi's categorical conclusion, Lou Gao couldn't help but look serious. His round figure, which was originally a bit funny and couldn't stand up, suddenly became lighter and he sat up. , looking straight at Ling Yi, who was sitting on the ground in front of him.
Ling Yi had a smile on his face, his eyes became sharp as he stared at the old god, his eyes were unhurried and his tone was convincing and contagious:
"Senior Brother Lou Gao, you should know the status of a soul master in Douluo Continent.
Each of us, after awakening the martial soul at the age of six, will have a martial soul that is unique to us. Either a beast spirit or a weapon spirit! "
"For the vast majority of spirit masters, the spirit is the best and most suitable weapon for them!"< br>
“Although some weapon souls may not be as good as the hundred-forged weapons made by blacksmith masters or even high-level blacksmiths at first, as the strength of the soul masters increases and the blessing of soul rings, a most ordinary piece of wood becomes more powerful. A stick can be as good as a fine iron rod!"
"The martial spirit's ability to grow, self-repair, and storage in the body are beyond the reach of weapons carefully forged by ordinary blacksmiths! Achievable——"
After hearing Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao's face flickered, and a feeling of depression, resentment, and unwillingness brewed in his heart, for himself, for his master, and for the blacksmith industry.
You must know that his master Tiefu Tu, the only master craftsman in the world, still had to say some flattering words to a boy from the Tang family who did not yet know his name against his heart.
Outside "Gengxin City", in the "Star Luo Empire", and anywhere in the Douluo Continent, the courtesy that Lou Gao receives is not because he is a master blacksmith or because he is a god. The personal disciple of Jiang Tie Fu Tu, just because he is a soul king!
However, Lou Gao himself knew that if he really went into battle, his soul king would only be able to defeat some ordinary soul sects. If he met other normal fighting soul kings, he would probably be If you can't hold on for many rounds, you will be knocked down by the opponent.
Every time, when Lou Gao shows his strength, he only needs to reveal the luxurious soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple and one black, and there will basically be no real action in the future.
After all, he is just a blacksmith who travels across the continent, looking for his own path to become a master craftsman, and he is not a combat soul master who goes around looking for people to learn from and fight with.
Blacksmith, on Douluo Continent, is really not valued very much.
At least, in front of the soul master, this is indeed the case!
Lou Gao has always understood this in his heart, so he really wants to improve the blacksmith's status and hope that the blacksmith will be recognized by the world.
He truly loves the profession of blacksmith, and also truly loves forging all kinds of tools. Watching the perfect works appear in his hands, that feeling of satisfaction is similar to that of blacksmith. The sense of accomplishment was something that martial soul fighting and soul power improvement could not give him.
After spending more than half a year together, Lou Gao knew what kind of genius the young man in front of him, who was still more than two months away from turning fourteen, was.
Looking at things very sharply, you can sum up a series of laws of things anytime and anywhere, and find routes and directions that are beneficial to you.
It can be said that as long as Ling Yi is given a goal, a starting foundation and enough time, this young man will definitely be able to reach that goal!
And now, listening to Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao discovered that the young man in front of him seemed to be talking about the relationship between the blacksmith and the soul master, and the significance of the blacksmith to the soul master? He Lou Gao was able to become a master blacksmith at the age of forty, and in the future he would be recognized by Contra Titans as the king of divine craftsmen. His round and funny-looking head also contained agile thinking and extraordinary wisdom beyond ordinary people. Okay~
"What you mean is that soul masters often use their own martial souls as weapons, and their demand for foreign objects such as weapons is often not very great, while defensive armors and other items will be more More popular? ”
As Lou Gao said, his eyes gradually glowed with light.
Hearing this, Ling Yi smiled with a smile on his lips, nodded and continued: "Since I entered the [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy] in Muzhi City at the age of seven, I have been under the master's sect and formally studied forging. From then on. Since then, I have been paying close attention to every soul master who comes to customize weapons and equipment, and I have asked my teachers and classmates in the academy what kind of equipment they would like to have if they were allowed to choose. The auxiliary equipment when using Wuhun——"
"Seven years old..." Lou Gao blinked and his expression became weird.
Not paying attention to the change in Lou Gao's expression, Ling Yi continued to speak calmly: "When I was ten years old, I obtained my first soul ring. After I successfully became a soul master, I I applied for early graduation and asked my master to recommend Blacksmith Fu Shan, who was serving in the Principality’s military. Then I took Blacksmith Fu Shan’s recommendation letter and came to the Cold Wind Camp, where I stayed for three years..."
< br>
"In the past three years, I have observed more than 20,000 people in the Cold Wind Camp, from soldiers, corps commanders, chiefs... to captains, school lieutenants, and even the camp's managers, Marquis Cedar and General Song Yao!"
“There are more than 20,000 people. Overall, the ratio of beast souls and weapon souls is 4.5:5.5, and those with soul power are less than one-tenth.
Leaving aside those without soul power, among the nearly two thousand people with soul power, the demand for weapons and weapons-type equipment by beast soul masters is relatively greater than that of weapon soul masters, but it is not too much. .
Because their soul ring soul skills often require them to use their own souls to perform them. They themselves are a powerful weapon!"
"Weapons! This is even more obvious for soul masters. Their first choice of weapon in battle is definitely their own martial soul, not the weapons forged by our blacksmiths.
Just like Colonel Jiang Yuan, even though he can now use a spear better than many great soul masters with spear-type martial arts, and is even not weaker than those spear-type martial soul masters, but in battle, he is still Use your own "Iron Gauntlet" martial spirit.
Only the "Iron Gauntlet" martial spirit can bring out the strongest strength of Captain Jiang Yuan! "
"So..."
Hearing this, Lou Gao's round face had a mixture of joy and sorrow, and he continued in a low voice: "So, for the soul master, , the positioning of our blacksmiths should be auxiliary, mainly defensive equipment, to make up for some shortcomings of the soul masters when using martial souls? ”
“That’s right! Ling Yi nodded and said seriously: "Blacksmith is not a fighting profession, and we are not suitable to compete with those soul masters who specialize in fighting to see who is better at fighting."
We can think of ourselves as an auxiliary soul master, just like a healing soul master or a food soul master, a defensive soul master who works behind the scenes without having to play, and a guest appearance as an attack enhancement amplification soul master... …”
Sorry, I’m late.
Let’s take a nap first, finish the work in the afternoon, and continue coding for tomorrow in the evening~
