Chapter 108 Refining weapons into the soul
Walking among the piles of broken weapons and broken blades, Ling Yi stretched out his right hand, his soul power surged with his thoughts, and a blue light and shadow shone like a spirit. The snake-like vine-like "Blue Silver Grass" martial spirit appeared.
Two rings of light appeared at the feet at the same time, one bright yellow and the other dark yellow, hovering around Ling Yi's body, moving up and down.
Under the light of blue soul power and yellow soul ring, the entire underground space became brighter.
Seeing this, Zhang Lei, who was following Ling Yi, also stretched out his right hand. Gray light flashed and turned into a long brown pole. The "hoe" martial spirit with a dark and shiny hoe blade was held by him. in hand.
Similarly, a bright yellow halo also appeared, coiling around Zhang Lei's feet.
This spirit ring comes from the "iron birch tree" in the old forest in the north of Shanhai Village. It is more than 330 years old!
At the end of January 2605 in the Douluo Calendar, nearly two years ago, Ling Yi returned to "Mu Zhi City" and was granted the title of Baron because he became a blacksmith master.
When he returned home to reflect on himself, Zhang Lei, who was seventeen years old, had reached the tenth level in soul power cultivation.
A thousand-forged battle ax, practicing "Farmer's Three Postures" and "Basic Gymnastics" for more than ten years, gaining more than 500 kilograms of strength, plus Ling Yi's "First Soul" Technique·Vitality' blessing, strengthens the five senses, and cuts down the weak points guided by Ling Yi.
The 330-year-old "Iron Birch" soul ring was successfully obtained!
Soul skill: as strong as a diamond!
When the soul skill activates, the material of the martial soul's "hoe" changes into the "Iron Birch" tree with the same level of hardness, and the weight increases ten times. The soul master himself ignores the weight change.
This is a blessing soul skill, with no offensive or defensive functions. From the current common point of view in Douluo Continent, it can be regarded as a useless soul skill.
This is also the reason why, except for a few weapon soul masters, very few people include "Iron Birch Tree" in their soul ring options.
Of course, whether it was out of trust in Ling Yi or the fact that the "iron birch tree" in Laolinzi was more than 300 years old, Zhang Lei chose to follow Ling Yi's arrangement and cut down the tree without even a moment's hesitation. The "Iron Birch Tree" recorded many childhood memories of the two of them.
Also made a similar choice, there is Zhang Mufeng whose martial soul is "Mixed Iron Rod". The second soul ring he chose is [Shuimu Principality] Northland, the primary soul hunting forest "Frost Forest" That 600-year-old "iron birch tree".
With the addition of the soul ring, Zhang Lei's soul power has soared to 38% of the eleventh level. After nearly two years of training, at the age of nineteen, his soul power has reached 77% of the fourteenth level. In terms of The speed of progress is faster than when he was still a soul warrior!
Scenes of cutting down "Iron Birch Trees", absorbing soul rings, and testing the effects of soul skills flashed through his mind quickly. Zhang Lei followed Ling Yi step by step and walked to the center of this space. .
Circular pits with a diameter of more than five feet came into view of the two people. The layout of four vertical and five horizontal lines was eye-catching.
Most of the pits were empty, except for the three pits on the edge, which were filled with numerous remains of weapons.
Zhang Lei knew that unlike the broken soldiers and broken blades outside, the ones in these pits were said to be collected from battlefield sites in the [Tian Dou Empire] and [Xing Luo Empire]. [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch] has a lot of human, material and financial resources.
Glancing at the two pits on the left and right, Ling Yi did not stop, but went straight to the one in the middle and jumped down, followed by Zhang Lei.
In the pit, which is five feet in diameter and about a meter deep, scattered broken swords of the remaining soldiers are placed haphazardly, with almost no place to stay.
But at this moment, Zhang Lei's eyes did not look at the scrap copper and iron that had been stained with so many enemy soldiers and stained with blood. Instead, he looked momentarily at the tower standing in the center of the pit. The figure's eyes were bright and full of enthusiasm.
This is not Zhang Lei’s first time here.
In other words, even when Ling Yi was away, he would come here every day.
The reason was the figure standing tall in his eyes in this pit.
That was a long-handled warrior with a height of two and a half meters that was inserted into the ground at the bottom of the pit! The long purple-black pole and the black T-shaped metal blade fit perfectly on the long pole. This is a fighting weapon!
No need for Ling Yi to say anything, Zhang Lei spontaneously stepped forward and handed the "Hoe" martial spirit in his right hand to his left hand. As if caressing his lover, his right hand gently pressed the purple sword of the Zhan Ge. On a long black pole.
The gray soul power surged, penetrating from Zhang Lei's right hand into Zhan Ge like threads, and magnificent bright textures appeared on the long purple-black pole.
At the same time, the soul ring hovering under Zhang Lei's feet was like a signal connection, with bright yellow light flickering.
Seeing this, Ling Yi nodded with satisfaction. Since he can't forge a weapon that can allow the soul power to flow unimpeded, he should work hard on the materials!
The two-meter long Zhan Ge handle comes from the heart of the "iron birch tree" that holds Zhang Lei's first soul ring.
Ling Yi only took the five-meter-long core of the "iron birch tree" that was more than ten meters high near the root, and carefully carved it to create two fighting poles.
Using the alloy formula learned from Lou Gao, two Ge Tou were created with a hardness no less than that of the "Cold Heart Iron Spirit".
The assembled Zhan Ge, in terms of quality, can be said to be two of the strongest pieces among Ling Yi’s current works. Mr. Jin, the three master craftsmen of [Shuimu Principality], and the three of them met and learned from Sigh.
There are two war weapons, one of which is in the pit on the left. Ling Yi first used it for experimentation. After spending some time, he developed a technique of using soul power to nourish the weapon.
The "Weapon Martial Soul·Forging Secret Technique" initially created in the Cold Wind Camp a few years ago has been further improved.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Ling Yi created "Weapon Martial Soul·Forging Secret Technique" was not to correspond with "Beast Martial Soul·Xingyi Fist Frame" and satisfy his hobby of collecting panel data.
His main purposes are three.
The first is to study the formation principle of the soul master’s martial soul.
Second, I hope to find a way to create artificial weapon souls through the relationship between weapon souls and soul masters.
Third, accumulate basic theories for building soul guides in the future.
If we say that the form of manifestation of beast martial souls is derived from the inheritance of beast blood wizards similar to those in Western fantasy novels, the source of power is some kind of soul beast.
Then, the source of the inheritance of the weapon soul is obviously not compatible with the soul beast bloodline.
In addition, Ling Yi is very interested in whether the weapon soul, especially the weapon soul of weapons and implements, is material or energy, and how virtual and real are transformed into each other.
Unfortunately, limited by his own strength and the martial arts information he has access to, his background is still shallow and he cannot support Ling Yi in further in-depth research.
Ling Yi thought, and a green light bloomed from his right hand. He swung it forward, and the "Blue Silver Grass" martial spirit with vines like a whip stretched instantly and wrapped around Zhang Lei's right arm.
The active energy full of vitality was injected into Zhang Lei's body along the vines, blended into the endlessly flowing soul power, and made a sensing mark on the soul power route between Zhang Lei and Zhan Ge.
This soul power movement route has changed a lot from what Ling Yi taught Zhang Lei back then.
Closer to Zhang Lei’s soul power line when he used his first soul skill ‘Hard as Diamond’.
Obviously, Zhang Lei really took Ling Yi's instructions to heart. In the past two years, he worked hard to deduce a rough idea of his first soul skill.
