After finalizing the details of the association's reform, Su Ming and his two fellow apprentices left Gengxin City to help Duan Jin obtain his fourth soul ring.
Duan Jin's target was locked early.
The reason why I was able to have such a good goal in advance is, of course, because of my teacher Zhu Jiuyang.
He searched for soul beasts everywhere, going in and out of various soul beast settlements, and passing through some areas with low-age soul beasts. On the way, he met the wild gorilla.
Six thousand years is just right for Duan Jin who has taken thousand-year-old whale glue.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a roar was heard from the silent rocky area.
Wild Ape slammed his fists in front of his chest frantically, and the strong earth-attributed soul power spread and condensed on his fists, and then he jumped up.
"Be careful, this is his ultimate move, the Thunder Vajra Fist." Su Ming reminded from the side.
Huo Lie was reminded and nodded.
But he didn't hide.
Today's task is to defeat the Wild Ape so that Duan Jin can better persuade the Wild Ape next time.
Although it was not Duan Jin who defeated the Wild Ape, Huo Lie's long-term stay with him always provided a good environment for Duan Jin and the Wild Ape to develop a relationship.
After all, it is a species of soul beast that is not good at using its brain, and it is not even ten thousand years old, so its intelligence is not high.
Huo Lie also roared angrily, and his whole body suddenly rose up.
A metallic horn grew on his head, and his body was covered with dark red scales, burning with fierce flames that condensed into the shape of a dragon.
One-horned Fire Tyrannosaurus.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Invincible Golden Horn!"
The horn on Huo Lie's head quickly grew larger and thicker, with strong fluctuations of metallic elements on the horn. At the same time, the flames around him also gathered together, forming a drill-shaped flame vortex around the horn.
Huo Lie roared, took a step forward, and collided head-on with the fists of the wild gorilla that fell from the sky with his horn.
boom!
The earth shook.
Su Ming and Duan Jin subconsciously gritted their teeth.
A large amount of smoke and dust rose from the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.
In the next moment, a figure flew out backwards.
The wild gorilla flew more than ten meters and fell heavily to the ground. Blazing flames were swirling around his fists, and the whole gorilla seemed to have lost consciousness from the shock.
Huo Lie slowly walked out of the smoke and dust.
The golden horn on his head slowly shrank back to normal size.
"Xiao Ming, carve the magic circle."
"Okay."
Su Ming took out a complete set of formation bases.
Place the array bases in six directions, use soul power as a guide, and connect the six array bases to form a hexagram-shaped pattern.
Huo Lie stepped forward, beat up the Wild Ape again, and then dragged the desperate Wild Ape into the hexagram formation.
"Second Brother."
Duan Jin looked at Su Ming, not understanding what Su Ming meant.
"Help him out."
Wild Ape turned his head and looked at Duan Jin with anticipation.
"I see."
Duan Jin released his martial spirit and smashed the wild gorilla's head with a hammer.
Su Ming couldn't help but cover his eyes.
Is it so cruel?
After Wild Ape died, a circle of purple soul rings condensed out, and in the center of the purple soul ring, an illusory spirit gradually gathered out.
The wild gorilla was suspended in the middle of the spirit ring in a daze.
"Sign a contract."
Duan Jin walked into the hexagram formation and received the soul ring.
The wild gorilla was absorbed into Duan Jin's body along with the soul ring.
Five hours later.
The three of them left the Savage Beast Mountains.
"Wild Ape is easier to talk to than I thought." Duan Jin said.
"He's just afraid of me." Huo Lie said.
He touched his nose, feeling that his initial strategy was a mistake.
Shouldn't he be worshipped by the wild gorilla after being beaten up?
"Then change the plan. Senior Brother, you should separate from Second Brother for a while." Su Ming said.
Gengxin City.
Blacksmiths Association.
"Teacher, you're back!"
After returning to the Blacksmith Association, the three heard the news that Zhu Jiuyang had returned to the association and went directly to Zhu Jiuyang's foundry.
Zhu Jiuyang looked very good, and the fluctuations of his soul power were more oppressive than before.
Seeing this, Su Ming couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, have you found the soul?"
"Haha, I'm lucky."
Zhu Jiuyang laughed and told about his experience.
"It had to be the Star Dou Great Forest. There are a wide variety of soul beasts and scenes. It allowed me to find a Fire Lord that was seriously injured and dying in a fight."
After he finished telling his story, he said to Su Ming, "You are thoughtful. Let's see if we can use the opportunity of Sword Douluo's attack again next time."
"next time?"
Zhu Jiuyang said, "This Flame Lord has eighty thousand years of cultivation. Even if it's my ninth spirit ring, it's perfectly suitable to be obtained from him. Therefore, I won't need Sword Douluo's help for my ninth spirit ring. However, the reforms to the Blacksmith Association are bound to attract covetousness. Although you're cooperating with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the deterrent effect isn't enough. At this time, letting the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo take action will have an immediate effect."
"But will they agree?"
"I will definitely agree." Zhu Jiuyang was confident about this. He said, "The reforms within the association will not have much impact on the outside world for the time being, but the emergence of spiritual metal will attract the attention of those who are interested."
Attention from those who care?
"Gengxin City's Spirit Hall will be the first to react. Given Miles's greedy nature, he will take action against the Association. I, your master, will intervene and negotiate with him." Zhu Jiuyang said, "Then you can communicate with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. They won't refuse to help."
Su Ming understood what Zhu Jiuyang meant.
If the association wants to develop, it certainly cannot rely on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect alone, but should be recognized by all major forces and have a certain degree of independent capabilities.
The Spirit Hall is the easiest major force to win over at this stage. Because of Zhu Jiuyang's relationship, this can be easily achieved.
"Teacher, you and the Spirit Hall..."
Zhu Jiuyang noticed that Su Ming's expression was not right.
"Huo Lie told you, didn't he? Don't worry, there is no conflict between your master and the Spirit Hall."
Besides, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall is not from the Qian family.
Zhu Jiuyang didn't continue to talk too much with Su Ming about this matter, he changed the subject.
"Now that your second senior brother and I have souls, it's time to learn the soul-infusing technique."
Su Ming felt embarrassed when Zhu Jiuyang stared at him like that.
Junior fellow student and senior teacher.
The apprentice teaches the master.
The Tiangang is reversed.
He had no choice but to start speaking.
Zhu Jiuyang and Duan Jin both have high forging talents. Zhu Jiuyang has rich accumulation and gets along better with the Flame Lord's soul. At the same time, the Flame Lord has higher intelligence and the cooperation is better. In just three days, Zhu Jiuyang mastered the technique of infusing souls.
Afterwards, he spent another three days, experienced thirty-two failures, and completed the Thousand Forgings Spirit on the thirty-third attempt.
In less than a week, Zhu Jiuyang successfully advanced from a grandmaster blacksmith to a master forger.
"Thanks to the teacher, you learn so quickly." Su Ming couldn't help but praise.
