Chapter 151 Later, Chu Chengzhou continued: "Metals above the Hundred Forging level have certain requirements for the blacksmith's own strength. If you are not a soul master, it is impossible to achieve Thousand Forging.
If you want to go far in the forging process, the first prerequisite is that your cultivation talent cannot be bad. "
If you are not a soul master, you cannot lift a heavy hammer. Even if you are the reincarnation of a divine craftsman, you will not have the strength to complete the Thousand Forgings of Metal. As for the subsequent spiritual training and even soul training, it is not enough to become a soul master. You must have enough Supported by soul power cultivation.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows, ignored the matter for the time being, and said, "Rong Rong sent a letter saying that your boy's forging skills have made another breakthrough?"
"Well, this level is soul forging."
Chu Chengzhou nodded.
"You don't do blacksmithing on weekdays, do you? How come you made such a breakthrough in this skill without making any noise?"
Ning Fengzhi asked, expressing his confusion.
The blacksmiths under his Qibao Glazed Sect could not learn the secret technique even if they had it in their hands. However, Chu Chengzhou, who usually did not forge iron, quietly created the secret technique of forging two levels higher.
We are all human beings, but are the differences between people really that big?
"It's just talent~"
Waving his hands, Chu Chengzhou said without blushing or out of breath.
Not prepared to dwell on this aspect, Chu Chengzhou turned to look at Gu Rong and got down to business: "Grandpa Bone, try injecting some soul power into these two pieces of metal."
With that said, Chu Chengzhou took out two small pieces of metal from the storage soul guide, one was soul-forged blue gold, and the other was soul-forged nether iron.
Netherworld Iron is a rare metal with dark attributes, and its metal property is to increase the dark attribute soul power. However, the main attribute of Gu Rong's bone dragon spirit is dark, and its space ability is only incidental.
If the soul power increase ratio of soul-forged nether iron is higher than that of soul-forged blue gold, then blue gold is not the most suitable soul-forged armor material for ancient banyan.
After taking the two pieces of metal handed over by Chu Chengzhou, Gu Rong injected a bit of soul power into each.
"Ok?"
Soon, a look of surprise appeared on Gu Rong's face.
"Uncle Gu, it seems that this soul-forged metal has some skills?"
Seeing the change in Gu Rong's expression, Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.
"Tsk~, this kid is really incredible. This piece of metal can increase my soul power by [-]%, and this piece can increase my soul power by [-]%."
Putting down the two pieces of metal in his hands, Gu Rong first pointed at the soul-forged blue gold, and then pointed at the soul-forged netherworld iron.
'Twenty percent? '
Chu Chengzhou raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Soul-forged Netherworld Iron could increase the soul power of a dark-attribute Titled Douluo by 20%. This increase ratio was higher than Soul-forged Blue Pregnant Copper, which was also a single metal.
"Old man, let me introduce to you. This piece is soul-forged blue gold. Its effect is to increase soul power.
And this black piece is soul-forged netherworld iron, which also has the effect of increasing soul power, but the enhanced attribute is limited to dark attributes. I am going to build you a set of soul-forged armor, and you can choose the materials yourself. "
If Gu Rong's Wuhun attribute is purely dark, then it's not mentioned, just use Netherworld Iron.
But the problem is that Gu Rong's martial soul also has space attributes, and although Lan Jin's soul power increase rate is slightly lower, it does not limit the attributes of the soul power. How to choose is a question that is best left to Gu Rong himself.
Without much hesitation, Gu Rong directly chose Netherworld Iron.
Compared with the 15% increase in dark and empty dual attribute soul power, for Gu Rong personally, it is not as good as the 20% increase in dark attribute soul power.
Because the main attribute of his Bone Dragon Spirit is dark, all his offensive and defensive soul skills are of dark attribute, and his spatial ability only provides displacement.
There is no opponent on the mainland who can restrain his spatial ability. There is no difference whether he has the 15% increase or not.
However, compared to soul-forged blue gold, soul-forged Netherworld Iron has an extra 5% increase in dark attribute soul power. That means he, a defensive-type Titled Douluo, can withstand attacks from stronger opponents.
Two hours later, Ning Fengzhi's soul-forged blue gold armor and Gu Rong's soul-forged nether iron armor were completed.
Ning Fengzhi's blue and gold armor is nothing to say, but Gu Rong's Netherworld Iron Armor is more than just armor. Chu Chengzhou followed the appearance of his big cat's blue and gold pattern armor, and added two lines on the front of the armor's arms. A pair of detachable claws made of soul-forged gold.
Spirit-forged and above metals can be fused with the soul master's martial soul. The property of Fajin is a powerful soul-breaking metal, and the higher the quality of the soul power infused, the stronger the soul-breaking effect of Fajin.
With Gu Rong's current level 95 soul power, except for the semi-god-level Qian Daoliu, there are many masters on the mainland who can use it as long as it is an energy-type shield. When Gu Rong integrates the soul-forged golden dragon Everything in front of the claws is almost like paper.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the soul-forging blue gold's soul-power-increasing effect on Ning Fengzhi, an eight-ring soul fighter, is not 15%, but 20%.
The specific soul power increase ratio will naturally be different depending on the user's soul power level.
For example, Soul Forged Blue Gold has a soul power increasing effect of 50% on Chu Chengzhou, but for Xiao Wu, who is at the sixth ring level, the soul power increasing effect is only 40%, and for Ning Rongrong and Ning Rongrong, who is at the fourth ring level. For Zhu Zhuqing, it reached as much as 60%.
The reason why there is a phenomenon that the lower the level, the higher the increase ratio is. This is entirely because for low-level soul masters, the grade of soul forging metal is too high.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi is an auxiliary soul master. Having the soul-forged blue gold armor does not mean that the effect of his attribute-increasing soul skills can also be increased by 20%.
The effect of the attribute-amplifying soul skills of the Qibao Glazed Tower series martial spirits is fixed, and the soul power is increased by 20%. The effect is only to allow Ning Fengzhi to reduce his own soul power consumption when using the attribute-amplifying soul skills.
However, as the leader of the Qibao Glazed Sect, and also the leader of a sect with little fighting ability, it was naturally impossible for Ning Fengzhi not to have soul bones in his body.
His soul bone skill, as well as the eighth soul skill that does not increase attributes, can actually enjoy the 20% soul power increase of the soul-forged blue gold armor.
"This armor of yours is really good. Do you want a suit for Grandpa Qi Jian?"
Putting away the blue and gold armor, Ning Fengzhi said to Chu Chengzhou.
"That's natural. Just ask Grandpa Jian to come to me! But please ask Grandpa Jian to come quietly. I want to ask him for a favor."
Chu Chengzhou nodded and talked about fishing.
The reason why Chen Xin came quietly was because he was afraid of scaring the fish.
The famous Sword Douluo of the Qibao Glazed Sect is one of the few masters on the continent. If the secret Xingluo assassins knew that Chen Xin had arrived in Tiandou City, he would be out of the house. As long as there are still brain cells in his brain, Yu'er It is impossible to bite the hook.
"Ah."
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly and took the initiative to catch a wave of fish to catch the demons and monsters in the dark.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Twenty miles east of Tiandou City, there is a small village beside the official road.
In a private house at the head of the village, a young man with an ordinary appearance, who did not look conspicuous among the crowd, stood in the hall, looking anxiously at the eight middle-aged men in front of him who were simply dressed but in high spirits. Years of men and women.
"What does your intelligence department do for a living? It's been more than two months and you still haven't found an opportunity to take action?"
Among the eight middle-aged men and women, a burly man in the center shouted in a low voice at the young man in the room with an unkind expression.
"Lord Tiger, forgive me. The target has always stayed in Tiandou City and didn't give us any chance at all!"
The young man trembled and hurriedly explained.
"If you don't have a chance, won't you create an opportunity? Could it be that if the target doesn't leave Tiandou City for a day, your Intelligence Department will let us waste time here?"
The tall and skinny 'Jackal' next to the burly man 'Tiger' said with a dissatisfied look on his face.
Including the burly man 'Tiger', these eight people were the assassin group sent by the Star Luo Empire to assassinate Chu Chengzhou.
The assassin group is quite powerful. Among them, 'Tiger' and 'Jackal' have soul powers as high as eight-ring Soul Douluo. Although the remaining six are not as powerful, they are also seven-ring Soul Saints.
Of course, in the eyes of Xingluo Emperor Dai Yutian, if he was just dealing with one Chu Chengzhou, he wouldn't need so many masters.
But considering that Chu Chengzhou was protected by the Qibao Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi most likely arranged for masters to protect him secretly. That's why he sent so many masters here.
"Lord Jackal, according to the information found by the intelligence department, the target comes from a remote mountain village under the rule of Soto City in the Kingdom of Barak.
Our department has already sent people to investigate. The target's blood relatives are all dead, so it is difficult to create opportunities to lure him out.
Moreover, the target has a close relationship with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. If threats are used to force him to leave Tiandou City, it will definitely scare the snake and attract the masters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. "
The young man said with sincerity.
Chu Chengzhou was naturally not from a remote village under the rule of Soto City. The reason why the information found by the Xingluo Intelligence Department was like this was entirely because of Xue Qinghe.
If Tiandou officials took action to cover up the origins of Chu Chengzhou and Xiao Wu, it would not be easy to arrange false identities.
The current Douluo Continent is in an era where travel is all about walking and communication is all about shouting. In addition, there is official misinformation from Tiandou. You can imagine how difficult it is for the Star Luo Empire's spies to get real information.
Of course, this is also because information such as origins is not too important. It cannot solve Chu Chengzhou himself, and it is useless to find out his information.
Otherwise, with the power of the Star Luo Empire, if they are really willing to work hard, they will be able to find out sooner or later.
"I don't care about this. I'll give you another month. If you still can't find the opportunity, you can figure it out yourself!"
The somewhat irritable 'Tiger' threatened the young man.
"Yes, Lord Tiger!"
The young man felt a chill in his heart and quickly responded.
As a pawn placed by the Imperial Intelligence Department in Tiandou territory, the young man is self-aware. This Tiger Lord has a notorious reputation. Even if he is killed after a disagreement, his superiors do not dare to say anything for him.
Two days later, in the morning, it was still the same private house.
"What did you say? The target is out of town?"
'Tiger' looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.
Sure enough, people are all cheap!Only by holding the knife to your neck can you unleash impressive potential.
No, there was no good news for two months, but as soon as I threatened, the good news came immediately.
"Yes, Lord Tiger! The Intelligence Department's informant saw the target get into a carriage outside the target's house and leave Tiandou City from the South City Gate." The young man reported truthfully.
"Second brother, do you want to do it?"
Hearing this, 'Tiger''s eyes lit up and he turned to look at 'Jackal'.
In terms of strength, he is better than Jackal, but his brain is not as good as Jackal.
The two brothers have been friends for more than 20 years. When it comes to matters that need to be decided, the Tigers basically let the Jackals make the decisions.
"Could this be a trap set by the Qibao Glazed Sect?"
Jackal frowned and said.
"This"
As soon as these words came out, the tiger immediately hesitated.
Although the eight of them are quite strong, if they really want to compete with the Qibao Glazed Sect's hard steel, they are still far from enough.
"In this case, this may be a trap under the Qibao Glazed Sect. Let's follow the target dozens of miles away and wait a few days before taking action."
After thinking for a moment, the jackal said.
From Jackal's point of view, even if the Qibao Glazed Sect sets a trap for them, it won't take too long.
After all, if he saw that he couldn't catch any fish, the master secretly arranged by the Qibao Glazed Sect would definitely leave. It would be impossible for him to stay with Chu Chengzhou all the time, and the distance of dozens of miles was already beyond the perception range of the titled Douluo.
Without the deliberate trick of the Qibao Glazed Sect, Chu Chengzhou would only have one or two masters around him at most.
Sword Bone Douluo will definitely not become Chu Chengzhou's long-term bodyguard. The long-term bodyguard master arranged for him by Ning Fengzhi is only as powerful as an Eight-ring Soul Douluo.
He and Tiger are not bad in terms of strength. Although they are not considered to be good players among Contras, they are not the weakest either. If one or two Contras really want to appear, even if they are not opponents, they will definitely be defeated. Can hold off.
At that time, the six accompanying Soul Saints will take action to deal with Chu Chengzhou, whose soul power level is only four or five levels. Even if the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear summoned beast is strong, it will definitely be stable.
Early the next morning.
More than two hundred miles south of Tiandou City, a carriage was driving slowly on the official road.
'what's the situation?Where did the fish go? '
In the carriage, Chu Chengzhou thought secretly in confusion.
Yesterday morning, Chen Xin came to Tiandou City quietly. After building him a set of soul-forged blue gold armor and a soul-forged golden sword, Chu Chengzhou went out in a carriage to start his fishing plan.
But he didn't know what went wrong in any link. He couldn't catch any fish until the sun went down.
And not only did I fail to catch fish during the day, I also failed to catch fish at night.
The moonlight was quite dark last night, and they say, "When the moon is dark and the wind is high, there will be murder and arson." However, the assassin sent by the Star Luo Empire seems to be a little incompetent. Let alone an assassin, there is not even a ghost.
As for the Star Luo Assassin, didn’t he know that he had left Tiandou City?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! If he really didn't know, how could he be so lucky that at every intersection of the official road, he would meet at least one passerby, or a civilian working in the fields not far away?
Chu Chengzhou can guarantee that if there are no spies and spies from the Star Luo Empire among them, then he will live broadcast the handstand and flying!
Another day passed, and when he glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the carriage, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but feel that it was so difficult to be a fisherman, and it was a test of his patience.
Everyone knows that you need to be patient when fishing, but not everyone has enough patience, let alone Chu Chengzhou, who is hungry and thirsty with a big bow in his hand? At this time, the carriage happened to pass through a fork, and Chu Chengzhou saw a young man carrying a hoe coming from a distance.
The sharp-eyed Chu Chengzhou discovered that although the young man was well disguised, his hands did not have the calluses that ordinary farmers had from years of working in the fields.
After thinking about it, Chu Chengzhou signaled the coachman at his residence to stop the carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Chu Chengzhou looked at the young man walking towards him.
Immediately, spiritual power surged out, and the ultimate illusion skill: Xu Mi Illusion World was activated.
The next second, the look in the eyes of the young man disguised as an ordinary civilian immediately became pious, just like a pilgrim.
Since the magic secret skill was promoted to red and renamed Xu Mi Illusion Realm, the effect of this secret skill is not only to generate an illusion.
Not only can it form multiple illusions at the same time, it can also pull multiple targets into the same illusion. It also has the effect of temporarily tampering with the opponent's consciousness. The specific duration depends on the mental strength of both parties.
Of course, there are flaws. If you want to tamper with the target's consciousness, not only does the target's mental power need to be weaker than your own, but your will must not be too strong, otherwise it cannot be tampered with.
Just like now, Chu Chengzhou temporarily tampered with the young man's consciousness and became an unwavering belief in the young man's heart.
Even if he is asked to die, as long as this young man's will is not too strong, he will obediently do so.
Of course, Chu Chengzhou's purpose was not to let him die, he just wanted to ask where the fish were in the dark.
It is naturally impossible for such a spy to know where the assassin responsible for the specific operation is, but he definitely knows where his superior contact person is. If he follows the clues, he can always find the fish.
As for whether he guessed wrong, isn't this young man an informant of the Star Luo Empire? If you are wrong, you are wrong. Anyway, temporarily tampering with your consciousness will not cause any sequelae. Just give him a gold soul coin as an apology.
"Let me ask you, where is your operator?"
"Great Lord, my operator is in the village ten miles to the east!"
Suddenly, the young man knelt down and said with a pious expression.
"very good!"
Chu Chengzhou nodded with satisfaction.
After sending the coachman back home, Chu Chengzhou immediately took the young man to touch the melons.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Chu Chengzhou followed the clues step by step and rushed to many places with Xingluo spies of different levels in his hands. After more than three hours, he finally found the exact location of the fish.
'This Dai Yutian thinks highly of me and actually sent two Soul Douluo and six Soul Saints. Could it be that my strength has been exposed? '
On the top of a small mountain, looking at the small village at the foot of the mountain in the distance, Chu Chengzhou muttered to himself.
Naturally, Chu Chengzhou had never met the Star Luo Assassins, but in the past three hours or so, he had killed the head of the Star Luo Empire's intelligence department stationed in Tiandou City.
Of course, there were many fish that slipped through the net, and he just uncovered one of the hidden clues.
The information about the Assassin Group came from the head of the Star Luo Empire's intelligence branch in the Tiandou Empire. He used his secret magic trick: Xu Mi Illusion World to temporarily tamper with his consciousness, and regarded him as the only one he believed in in his heart, a seven-ringed soul saint. Asked.
And the Xingluo Assassin Group, composed of two Soul Douluo and six Soul Saints, is in this small village at the foot of the mountain.
"Boy, can you do it yourself?"
At this time, Chen Xin on the side asked.
"It's just two ordinary Contras, there should be no problem."
After weighing the strengths of both sides, Chu Chengzhou said.
The reason why he called Shang Chenxin before was because he was worried that among the assassins sent by the Star Luo Empire, there was an Eight-ring Soul Douluo who could activate the martial soul fusion skill: Netherworld White Tiger.
Although the Netherworld White Tiger is considered a relatively "bad" martial soul fusion skill on the mainland, and many white tiger soul masters know it, it is undeniable that the martial soul fusion skill is a martial soul fusion skill, and the effect is very powerful.
Generally speaking, an eight-ring white tiger soul master paired with a seven-ring nether cat soul master, after activating the nether white tiger, will be at least as strong as a nine-ring titled Douluo.
If the Netherworld White Tiger activated by a level 89 White Tiger Soul Master paired with a level 79 Netherland Cat Soul Master, it would even be enough to overwhelm a level 95 Titled Douluo like Ju Gui.
Faced with opponents at the title level, Chu Chengzhou naturally had to find an expert to protect him in order to avoid getting into trouble.
But if it's just an ordinary Soul Douluo, then you don't need a butcher's knife to kill the chicken.
And the most important thing is that the two Soul Douluos of the Xingluo Assassin Group, one is a Vajra Tiger and the other is a Blood Wolf, are not flying soul masters.
Even if they were defeated, these two Contras couldn't catch up with his 'high-altitude shooter'.
The only ones who can catch up with Xiao Hong are the two flying soul saints in the assassin group.
The words of the seven-ringed soul saint are borrowed from the disdainful words the little witch said to Flanders when she entered Shrek Academy in the original work: He is just a little soul saint!
"It seems that I underestimate you."
Seeing Chu Chengzhou's confident look, Chen Xin looked at him deeply.
You know, Chu Chengzhou at this moment is just a five-ring soul king.
Even the powerful Seraphim Soul King, who can control the power of the domain after awakening his martial soul, is only strong enough to deal with the sixth-ringed Soul Emperor. Even the weak seven-ringed fighting soul saint, once the martial soul true form is opened, then It is not something that the Seraphim Soul King can deal with.
A five-ring soul king VS two soul douluos and six soul saints. If this soul king hadn't been Chu Chengzhou, he would have killed two soul saints with two arrows when he was in the fourth ring. Chen Xin must have been the same. Think of it as some blind bullshit.
Glancing at the quiet village at the foot of the mountain, Chu Chengzhou saw the True Spirit Flag Martial Soul Tool in his hand. The third soul ring on his body shone brightly, and he summoned the Fire Phoenix Xiao Hong.
"Chong-"
Under the night, a phoenix sounded, and Xiao Hong took Chu Chengzhou and flew into the air outside the small village at the foot of the mountain.
Chu Chengzhou did not choose to make a sneak attack. He calculated mentally and unintentionally. In a sneak attack, he might be able to directly kill several assassins and make the war situation develop in a direction more favorable to him.
But once he chooses to carry out a sneak attack, it will be equivalent to placing the battlefield in a small village, and many villagers in the village will inevitably be affected.
With the heart of dust, these two big, six, and eight small fishes will definitely not be able to escape. In this case, if it can avoid hurting innocent people, it is better to avoid them as much as possible.
"There is a situation!"
The sound of phoenixes sounded in the silent night sky, and soul power fluctuations were heard in the air outside the village. In addition, they were in a foreign country, and the assassin group would arrange for people to take turns to keep vigilant every night, so it was natural to alert the enemy.
