The piece of meteorite steel seemed to have sensed the fluctuations in Gu You's current aura, and its original cheers and excitement turned into curiosity.

From then on, with every hammer that Gu You dropped, the Spirit Forged Meteorite Steel would emit a whimpering groan, as if it was feeling both pain and pleasure.

Another major difference between spirit forging and soul forging is that soul forging is to impart one's inheritance to metal, just like the inheritance of the soul.

The more powerful Gu You himself is, the stronger his bloodline is, and the more powerful his forging skills are, which will have a greater impact on the quality of the soul-forged metal later.

Therefore, when you are a three-character battle armor master or a four-character battle armor master, it is better to have a mecha maker as a secondary profession. Because you can best make a battle armor that suits you. After all, no one knows you better than yourself.

Of course, even if the first profession is not a blacksmith, the person who requests to forge a battle armor will also be taught a certain aura, so that the Saint Blacksmith can use this aura together with his soul inheritance to forge a battle armor that is most suitable for the original owner of the battle armor.

But most blacksmiths would not agree with such an approach, because every piece of metal is their life. Who would be happy if the life they forged was contaminated by other forces?
It's like your own daughter's hair was dyed yellow.

So in general, it is the inheritance of the blacksmith’s soul.

But there are still countless people rushing to forge. Blacksmith is the most difficult one to practice among all the secondary professions. There are only a dozen or so Saint Craftsmen in the entire Douluo Continent. There is only one Divine Craftsman, Zhenhua.

Therefore, even if the battle armor master has a request, they will not raise it in front of the senior blacksmith. Small requests will naturally not mind what level of ore you want to forge and what metal you want to choose.

……

At this time, with the passage of time, Gu You had undoubtedly begun the process of advancing from spirit forging to soul forging. He was infusing his bloodline aura into the meteorite steel with all his strength, and at the same time, he was also infusing his soul and his own aura.

Based on what has been said above, soul forging is not only about forging metal from the outside, but also from the inside out, injecting one's own breath, soul power and mental power into the metal, and forging it from the inside through the connection with the metal itself. The combination of inside and outside allows the characteristics of the metal itself to be fully stimulated, and then infiltrated with one's own soul power.

This gave rise to another theory that Soul Forging was the incarnation of the Saint Craftsman!
After starting the soul forging process, Gu You became obviously cautious. Every time the hammer fell, it was so heavy. His strong blood fluctuations were injected without reservation, but there was no intention of weakening at all.

Gu You knew very well that once he succeeded in self-studying soul forging this time, it would be very easy for him to forge soul forging metal in the future.

As time went on, the color of the meteorite steel rendered by the heavy hammer faded more slowly. Often, before the last color faded completely, Gu You's second hammer would arrive.

Gradually, the meteorite steel was completely kept in its colorful state. Gu You was swinging the hammer like a machine, and the speed of the hammering began to slow down.

Buzz~!

Suddenly, when Gu You dropped another hammer, a crisp echo came from inside the Shenyin.

Echoing soul, soul-forging music!
This may seem like an ordinary thing, but in the eyes of many blacksmiths, this is the chasm of divine punishment, and some people may never be able to cross it in their entire lives.

Soul forging is extremely difficult. Echo is a phased victory in soul forging, which means that all kinds of energies injected into the metal have been integrated and can assist forging from the inside.

The effect of this is really huge.

It can be said that those who can reach this level have surpassed 99% of the people on Douluo Continent, no matter at what level!
Gu You's expression remained unchanged as he continued forging. Sure enough, every time he struck the hammer, an echo would appear. And it became clearer and clearer. Next, it was the soul forging and solidification. Once solidification was completed, the soul forging was 70% complete, and then the final soul calling was completed. Once the soul calling was completed, the soul forging meant success.

Among these three parts, getting started is the most difficult and summoning the soul is the easiest.

As long as the blacksmith has enough mental strength, in fact, the soul inheritance should be enough, and soul summoning will be very simple.

Gu You's hammering speed began to increase. His Qi and blood were extremely strong, and there was no sign of weakening at this time. The colorful light mist around his body became more and more dense.

The meteorite steel has completely turned into color, with bursts of dragon roars echoing, as well as the clear sound of soul forging.

Suddenly, the piece of forged meteorite steel shook violently, and then actually jumped up from the forging table.

It’s so exciting, I saw metal walking!

Gu You was stunned, as if he had thought of something.

He had seen it before in Zhenhua's notes.

Life is shaking, this piece of metal is about to escape!

Once the life of the metal is stimulated by soul forging to a certain degree, it will have its own intelligence. At this time, it will panic and will not want to be controlled, so it will run away. Once it is out of the control of the forger, because the soul that has just been raised has not been solidified, the soul will quickly dissipate and return to the soul forging stage. At that time, this piece of metal can no longer be soul forged.

Gu You was not in a hurry and shouted coldly, "Come back!"

A huge colorful dragon palm suddenly appeared behind him. The dragon palm flew out at a very fast speed and instantly caught the metal that was escaping.

"I am the master who created you, how dare you run away?"

This meteorite steel already has the aura of Gu You's bloodline, and the Dragon God-level bloodline is so powerful that under the shock of Gu You, this piece of meteorite steel can no longer resist the return.

Gu You took a deep breath, raised his heavy hammer again, and brought it down fiercely. The next stage began, the solidification of the soul!

Gu You's eyes completely changed from colorful to purple. With each swing of the hammer, less blood aura was released, but his mental strength increased. Two purple rays of light more than a foot long shot out from his eyes. He directly used the soul impact of the Purple Demon Pupil on the metal.

Suddenly, the vibration amplitude of the colorful meteorite steel began to decrease. Under the dual control of mental shock and forging, the colorful light on it began to converge inward while it was trembling, and the previous patterns began to emerge.

But those were no longer lines, but lifelike diamond-shaped scales, very similar to dragon scales, but not pure ones.

More and more dragon scales appeared, until they covered the entire meteorite steel. The colorful halo began to retreat...
