Chapter 238 Nuclear-Powered Cattle and Horses
Perhaps there are people in the world who can fight against the enemy by going against the version, but at the current stage, there is no such person among the major forces of Douluo Continent.
After swallowing the roasted meat in his mouth, Xiao Hongchen shrugged and said, "I never said I cared about them. They're just a bunch of bumpkins outdated by the times. What right do they have to ask me, Xiao Hongchen, to avoid them?"
"I just wanted to say that besides Shrek Academy, there will most likely be other interesting forces participating in this competition, such as the three upper sects of Douluo Three Kingdoms, and the Body Sect, which acts eccentrically and is both righteous and evil. It will no longer be just a small-scale battle between our academies. It will be much more interesting than the last competition. Are you really not planning to participate?"
"Having you all is enough," Lin Nuo replied as before.
"I'll just be a team leader. It's all about participation. If I were to actually go on the field, all I'd do is annihilate the opponents. They wouldn't even deserve to be mentioned. That would be so weak, and the readers wouldn't be happy."
Xiao Hongchen thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Putting yourself in their shoes, having a level nine Soul Master compete against a level five or six Soul Master in creating Soul Tools is not only unenjoyable, but also somewhat insulting.
The group didn't discuss this topic much, but instead talked about other things that had happened recently. However, it was mostly Xiao Hongchen who was talking, while Lin Nuo and Meng Hongchen were listening.
Of the three, Xiao Hongchen's life is the most exciting (the best ox and horse), he's practically working non-stop like a nuclear-powered donkey.
First, there was Ji Juechen's request. Xiao Hongchen successfully forged the meteorite iron sword into spirit-forged metal, making it Ji Juechen's natal battle armor weapon. Due to the improvement of his cultivation, Xiao Hongchen also demonstrated a stronger performance in forging.
This allowed him not only to successfully forge Ji Juechen's meteorite iron sword with spirit, but also to perform alloy forging for the first time. He fused the meteorite iron sword with three metals and used the gold and water essence that Lin Nuo had given him in advance. After the meteorite iron sword was successfully forged, he almost touched the door of soul forging.
This forging experience has indeed given Xiao Hongchen a wealth of experience. He has already opened most of the gate to soul forging, and perhaps soon he will be able to officially bring soul-forged metal into this world.
As for Ji Juechen, he was naturally extremely satisfied.
After successfully forging the sword, in Ji Juechen's words, he felt as if his sword had truly come alive and possessed its own life.
After the meteorite iron sword became his natal battle armor weapon, his martial soul underwent a transformative evolution. The spirit-forged metal could now be absorbed into his body. He no longer needed to carry the meteorite iron sword on his back at all times, but could integrate it into his body and fuse it with his martial soul, nourishing it with his soul power and soul at all times.
This situation is somewhat like the fusion of man and machine, and Lin Nuo currently believes that almost no one but him can do this.
The unity of man and weapon is not something that can be achieved simply by forging a weapon with spirit-forged metal that is the same as the martial soul. It requires the soul master to communicate with the weapon with his mind day after day for many years or even decades.
When Lin Nuo first thought of Ji Juechen, he had a premonition that his meteorite iron sword would be an absolute shortcut to forging, and the facts have proven Lin Nuo right.
From then on, the connection between the meteorite iron sword and Ji Juechen deepened, almost becoming his true martial soul, and his talent was also enhanced.
Originally, his innate soul power was only level three. After consuming several Xuan Shui Pills and using a large amount of medicinal herbs, it reached level five. However, after fusing with the Meteorite Sword, it leaped again to the level of innate level seven.
He also took the opportunity to break through to the Soul Saint realm, further enhancing his foundation.
As time goes by, he and the meteorite iron sword will only become more and more compatible. If given enough time, Lin Nuo even suspects that he can nurture the meteorite iron sword to the level of soul forging or even heaven forging.
Of course, the requirements for materials in Heavenly Forging are frighteningly high. Even though Xiao Hongchen considered that the strength of the meteorite iron sword would be more important as a weapon, the two metals used to forge the meteorite iron sword are both materials that are strong and tough.
It is still too difficult to nurture the three metals into Heavenly Forging, but it is very possible to nurture them into Soul Forging.
Battle armor can be improved through the nurturing of Soul Masters. Some four-word battle armor masters from the Dragon King Legend era broke through to four-word battle armor by nurturing their three-word battle armor for a long time. Five-word and six-word battle armor can also be upgraded through the infusion of divine power, making the battle armor a true divine weapon.
From this perspective, Ji Juechen's help was not just about opening the door to Soul Forging. If Xiao Hongchen's abilities were limited and he couldn't figure out the path to Heaven Forging on his own, Ji Juechen could even give him another push.
It was with this in mind that Xiao Hongchen added the Golden Water Essence when he forged the meteorite iron sword for him. The biggest drawback of this substance, besides being able to forge a maximum of nine kinds of metals, is that it is too rare. Ji Juechen was undoubtedly worth Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen going to great lengths to use the Golden Water Essence.
After discovering the secrets of Soul Forging, Xiao Hongchen's expertise in fusion forging became increasingly profound.
He can now successfully forge alloys of three to four metals without using the metal-water combination method. If the quality of the forged products is measured by the standards of the Dragon King Legend era, they will have a fusion degree of around 70.
If he's in good shape and has a bit of luck, he can even forge finished metal products with a fusion level of over 80%.
The success rate was further improved as his Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul fully activated its divine beast bloodline, and the probability of high-quality fusion forging also increased significantly.
The three-legged toad is just too overpowered. Paired with Xiao Hongchen's top-tier soul tool talent in this era, and assuming his thinking is sound and he hasn't gone astray, his ability to develop new things is simply unimaginable.
If Linno were to achieve what he did, without needing Electrolux to help him, it would take him at least three to five years to do the same.
In this respect, Lin Nuo is truly inferior to his brother-in-law.
No one is perfect, and Lin Nuo wouldn't feel jealous. The more awesome Xiao Hongchen was, the happier he would be, because this wasn't a useless family member who just ate resources and dragged him down, but a good brother who could truly help him.
Thinking about it this way, Meng Hongchen is simply the most suitable wife for Lin Nuo.
He was naturally gifted enough that, without any special abilities in the original story, he reached level 86 at the age of 24, a cultivation speed even more exaggerated than Zhang Lexuan's. He also had a grandfather who was a level 9 Soul Master and the head of the Mingde Hall, giving him control over a vast amount of resources.
He also has a promising and talented soul master as his older brother.
Xiao Meng, forever a goddess!
"So, does that mean your battle armor has also undergone alloy forging?" Lin Nuo asked.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen nodded, then shook his head: "Mine has already been forged using the Four Elements Metal Forging technique, but Meng's hasn't. Her martial soul has dual attributes of ice and fire, and it's at its extreme, so the requirements for the metal material are too high. I haven't found a suitable material yet."
"Furthermore, her battle armor is best forged using metals with both ice and fire attributes. But you understand the principle that ice and fire are mutually exclusive. I've tried several times, but I failed to forge it due to the conflicting attributes. And the combination of metal and water can only be used if the forging is successful."
"Hmm————" Lin Nuo touched his chin.
That is a problem.
Top-tier ice and fire attribute metals are indeed hard to find. Extreme attributes are extremely destructive to any other material, especially opposing attributes like Dream Red Dust, which are mutually reinforcing and restraining.
Everyone understands basic physics: after reaching extreme high temperatures, the temperature is quickly lowered to below minus 100 degrees Celsius, and anything that comes into contact with it will be brittle and turn into foam.
However, this is not something that is absolutely impossible to resolve.
As far as Guang Linnuo knew, there were two kinds of metal materials of ultimate ice during the era of Peerless Tang Sect. One was the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, which was formed by the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow in the underground Xuanbing Cave of the Earth Dragon Gate. The other was the octagonal Xuanbing Crystal, which was formed by the ten-thousand-year-old essence of the octagonal Xuanbing Grass.
The first one goes without saying. The Ice Extreme Divine Crystal, which gave birth to the Ice Spirit, can be called a natural spirit-forging metal. It is the only material for making top-level ice attribute equipment, and its strength is definitely high enough. In the original work, only Huo Yuhao, who has the ultimate ice attribute, could personally forge a set of Ice Extreme War God Armor from it.
The second type is the byproduct of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass. Frosty Jade Dew is the essence of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, and Eight-Cornered Ice Crystal is a top-quality material used to craft equipment.
Although this item doesn't appear in the story anymore, it is still a material condensed from an ice-attribute immortal herb, so its attribute strength must be at the extreme level.
Both the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delicate Grass have this substance. Its accompanying material is called Fiery Red Jadeite, and its strength is definitely on the same level as the Eight-Cornered Ice Crystal.
These two materials are absolutely the best for crafting Dream Red Dust's exclusive battle armor.
In some respects, it is even more suitable than the Ice Extreme Crystal.
The properties of the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal are too extreme, which is not what Meng Hongchen needs most. Her focus is on balance. With the Octagonal Profound Ice Crystal and Fiery Red Jade as the main materials, and the addition of seven other neutral and stable metals to increase strength, along with the integration of gold and water to create a 100% fused Nine-alloy Battle Armor, it is estimated that it will be enough for Meng Hongchen to use until she becomes a god.
Thinking of this, Lin Nuo also transferred the Fiery Red Jadeite and Octagonal Profound Ice Crystal, which he had kept hidden in the Starlight Sapphire Bracelet and had always left to gather dust in a corner, to a separate storage soul tool and handed them over to Xiao Hongchen.
"These two items are definitely enough to be the main materials for Dream's Battle Armor, but let me make this clear first, there are only these two pieces. Once they're used, there won't be any more. You won't find a second one like them in the entire Douluo Continent," Lin Nuo said seriously to Xiao Hongchen.
Both of these materials are scarce, with only one piece of each. They will shrink further after forging. Even if other metals are added as alloy materials, these two top-grade materials are only enough to forge a maximum of three suits of battle armor.
Xiao Hongchen doesn't have many opportunities to try and fail.
In the entire Douluo Continent, there are probably only these two: Fiery Red Jade Essence and Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal. There may not be any more in the future, since it is hard to say whether there is a second Fiery Apricot Blossom and Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass in the Douluo Continent. The only two have already been sacrificed to Meng Hongchen.
It is an absolutely non-renewable resource.
"Don't worry, I will never waste materials without being sure of the outcome." After taking the storage soul tool, Xiao Hongchen became serious.
He knew that Lin Nuo never joked when he was in this posture, and his level of attention to the rare metal he was about to obtain was at its highest.
This is his sister's battle armor, and it's made from materials that are unique to the Douluo Continent. Xiao Hongchen insisted that he had to make sure everything was arranged perfectly for his own sister, and that there couldn't be the slightest mistake.
However, he was still a little curious. This rare metal, which was unique in the entire Douluo Continent, was truly rare, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen released his spiritual power and put it into the storage soul tool. Then, his eyes widened, and his face was full of shock.
What did he see?
Inside the storage soul tool, two strange substances of different colors were interacting with each other. They were each about the size of a square. The one on the left was as smooth and flawless as milk, while the one on the right was as crystal clear as ice. But the key point was that the auras they emitted were clearly the extremes of ice and fire, yet they subtly complemented each other.
The communication between the two seems to have formed a perfect cycle, with the two energies flowing seamlessly to each other, and a blurry yin-yang symbol appearing and disappearing.
No, buddy.
Which metal can release energy and also circulate and complement each other?
After his breakthrough, Xiao Hongchen had fought against Meng Hongchen many times. Naturally, Meng Hongchen was paying close attention to Meng Hongchen's newly acquired 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone.
He could sense that the aura emanating from these two rare metals was almost identical to that of Meng Hongchen's two 100,000-year soul rings.
Okay, I see.
No wonder Lin Nuo said that these two materials were the only ones of their kind in the entire Douluo Continent; it turns out they were related to the two soul beasts that were sacrificed to Meng Hongchen.
Xiao Hongchen knew very well that some parts of a soul beast could be used as top-grade materials. The silver dragon scales treasured by the royal family were the best example, and the properties of these two materials were probably similar.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen valued them even more.
"What are they called?" Xiao Hongchen asked Lin Nuo.
Lin Nuo replied, "Fiery Red Jade Marrow, Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal."
"Let me see." Meng Hongchen blinked, took the storage soul tool from Xiao Hongchen's hand, and looked at the space inside with a face full of curiosity.
"So beautiful! If I were to use these to forge my battle armor, it would surely be the most beautiful battle armor in the world," Meng Hongchen exclaimed.
Putting everything else aside, the appearance of the Fiery Red Chalcedony and Octagonal Mystic Ice Crystal is absolutely stunning, far superior to any cold, hard metal. Compared to lifeless iron armor, Meng Hongchen, with her strong aesthetic sense, would definitely prefer these beautiful items.
"Then give Ah Xiao a little more encouragement and have him finish making the finished product for you as soon as possible," Lin Nuo said, winking.
Meng Hongchen smiled, turned her head to look at Xiao Hongchen, and her eyes spoke volumes.
"Do you really treat me like a beast of burden?" Xiao Hongchen's face immediately darkened.
"Hahaha----"
