Chapter 57 A strange coincidence

Lou Gao smiled and said confidently, "Believe me, Ah Man will definitely be able to become a powerful spirit master and divine craftsman like Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao in the future, leading our Blacksmith Association out of the predicament, making our blacksmithing profession no longer be looked down upon."

"This?" The hearts of several people were suddenly startled, but their faces still wore doubts, and Si Long couldn't help but ask, "Master, Junior Brother's efforts, talent, and enlightenment in forging are indeed top-notch, and he'll likely become a Divine Craftsman in the future. But his cultivation talent."

Innate Soul Power Level 3, Master, don't you know what this represents?

"Hm, I'm afraid you all underestimated Ah Man." Lou Gao tilted his neck.

In the next second, the painting style suddenly changed, exploding with foul language on the spot, "You guys don't know. Before, in the lower level, I grabbed Ah Man's fists, and guess what I found out? F*ck, the root bones of Ah Man's palms were simply frighteningly hard, definitely far beyond Spirit Elder's strength. With Ah Man's origin and strength, it is naturally impossible for him to have absorbed two spirit bones or something like that. Originally, I couldn't figure it out, but after hearing the introduction and seeing his martial soul, I figured it out."

Saying this, he looked around at the crowd of disciples, "I'm sure you've all heard of the Clear Sky Clan's Ring Explosion and Great Sumeru Hammer."

The disciples subconsciously nodded their heads, almost all of the Clear Sky Clan disciples are good blacksmiths due to their martial souls, and both Tang Hao and his ancestor Tang Chen, were divine craftsman-level blacksmiths. The blacksmith profession spread all over the continent, deep into small villages and hills, and had its own set of word-of-mouth news channels, and the two men's travels and battles across the continent could be said to be the most widely spread in the blacksmithing circle.

Although there is a huge difference in status, and the Clear Sky Clan has never necessarily sheltered or looked highly upon the Blacksmith Association, there are still many blacksmiths who treat the two men as their idols.

This included them, although they had never seen the Clear Sky Clan's great skills, they had heard of them.

Tang Chen, back in the day, he and Qian Daoliu were known as the two unclimbable mountains of their generation's spirit master world, and there had been many public battles between the two of them. In their generation, it was a well-known legend that was still fresh in their memories. On the contrary, Tang Hao had disappeared suddenly at a young age and had completely disappeared from public sight over the years.

"Why can't Ah Man's martial soul retain its spirit ring and generate spirit skills, have you guys thought about it?" Lou Gao continued to ask.

Si Long first froze for a moment, then his eyes widened as he blurted out abruptly, "Could it be that all the spirit ring energy has been absorbed by the body and the martial soul?"

"That's right! According to those who watched Tang Chen's battle with the Qian Daoliu back then, it was rumoured that the spirit ring would disappear on the spot after the Explosion Ring Skill was executed, followed by recovery of Tang Chen's physical strength and spirit energy, with his aura skyrocketing." Lou Gao's expression looked serious, "So I'm guessing that the reason why Ah Man's martial soul can't retain spirit rings and spirit skills is most likely because his body and martial soul absorbed all of the energy in the spirit rings when he absorbed them."

"That's why it caused the martial soul's form to change drastically, and the strength of his physical body, roots and bones far exceeded that of a spirit master of the same rank."

"Hiss," Si Long and the others immediately sucked in a breath of cool air and murmured, "If that's the case, then wouldn't Ah Man has his own Exploding Ring Skill or the kind that doesn't need to be actively performed, as long as he breaks through the Great Realm to absorb the spirit ring, he can have all of the energy from the spirit ring be used to strengthen his body and martial soul."

"No wonder when Ah Man hammered raw iron the force was so vigorous and long-lasting." Si Di also had an astonished look on her face.

"However, with Ah Man's qualifications, with an innate spirit power of only level 3, even if the martial soul and body can absorb all of the spirit ring energy, it's impossible for his cultivation to directly increase by a large realm. If you calculate it this way, the cultivation speed will still be restricted, and I'm afraid that it won't be easy to break through to Titled Douluo in this life, and reach a cultivation level as high as Tang Hao's." Si Long frowned and said.

"Stupid!"

Lou Gao instantly glared and cursed, "Have you ever heard of any spirit master who could have their strength raised to the Spirit Elder level after their first spirit ring was absorbed?"

"Could it be a Two Ring Spirit Grand Master!!!?" Si Long was instantly surprised for a second.

"That's right, although I don't know how Ah Man did it, I am certain that he is definitely already a Two-Ringed Spirit Grand Master." Speaking of this, Lou Gao tightly clenched his long beard, "Spirit ring energy is fully absorbed, and the cultivation speed is not slow, Spirit Skill? Spirit skills are even less important! When Tang Chen fought the Qian Daoliu one-on-one back in the day, he used his own self-created Clear Sky Hammer skills, and all his spirit skills had to step aside!"

And, even if my guess turned out to be wrong. Such a good blacksmith seedling, it's not like I'm losing out something, He inwardly added another sentence.

Si Long also reacted at this time, his countenance flushed with some excitement, "Earlier in the forging room, the hammering technique that Junior Brother displayed. I feel that even if it may not be a perfect spirit skill yet, it already has taken shape as a self-created spirit skill. Moreover, Junior Senior Brother is so young right now, yet his comprehension is so high, in the future, I feel that there is a very good chance for him to comprehend a set of self-created spirit skills of his own, just like Tang Chen did back then."

Hearing this, Si Yu and Si Long who were standing at the side also felt somewhat excited, after all, Tang Hao is a member of the Clear Sky Clan, one of the three upper clans. Born in a famous clan, even if he became a Divine Craftsman, he is not in the same world as them, and would not give a damn about them at all. But Ah Man is different, he was born as a commoner, and at a young age, he had established a deep connection with blacksmiths, and did not discriminate against the blacksmith profession, instead, he was quite attached to it.

The most crucial thing is. He is their junior brother! When he grew up in the future, he would never forget them.

Master deserves to be a master, he's brilliant. From the bottom of their hearts, they were deeply impressed with Lou Gao's previous attentive actions.

"The most crucial thing is that your junior brother is a generous person. He is a person who knows how to be grateful. This point can be seen from the fact that before, he was more defensive in his words towards that group of civilian blacksmiths who had taught him since he was a child, and in addition..." Saying that Lou Gao spread his right hand and took out the head spirit bone, and then spoke the conversation between the two of them when they went to the storage room to pick a spirit tool for Lin Manshan previously.

"Junior Brother is indeed generous. It is extremely rare to have such a heart at his age!" Si Di couldn't help but feel emotional, "It's said that the poor man's child becomes the head of the family very early, the junior brother's life must have been difficult, I'm afraid that it wasn't easy for him to make it through all these years."

"It's fine, now Little Junior Brother has us." Saying that Si Long turned his head to look at Lou Gao, "Master, then should we keep Little Junior Brother in Gengxin City? With our help, Little Junior Brother's subsequent path will definitely go a little smoother."

"This, when Ah Man returns later, I will ask him." Lou Gao stroked his long beard, then passed the spirit bone to Si Long, "Take this piece of spirit bone, when there is time, you and Si Yu will make a trip to the Imperial Capital Auction House together and sell it. Also, swallow all the talk just now."

"Yes, master!" Si Long nodded and took the spirit bone.

Then, Lou Gao's rough voice was heard, "Then why are you still standing? All of you get the hell out."

"." Sure enough, a familiar recipe, a familiar flavour. The few disciples hurriedly arched their hands and ran away.

On the other hand, on the ground floor of the Blacksmith Association, Lin Manshan was immersed in the joy of bargaining.

"Boss, I'll take this piece of mysterious iron. By the way, can I have this piece of junk ore?"

"Boss, this piece of conch looks pretty good, can I buy it for a home decoration, how about 1 gold soul coin?"

"Boss, this piece-"

Although he couldn't identify treasures like someone with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, Lin Manshan had the medicine refining technique, and after some attempts, he found that the higher the density of the metal and the higher the quality of the metal, the more difficult it would be for the soul power to penetrate it. So, he began to search for strange-looking, difficult-to-penetrate when using soul power metal ores, and when he found it, he would pick and cut the price, and buy it as a gift.

After walking a circle, the harvest can be said to be full.

As for the specific things bought, he will look into it when he returns, anyway, almost all of them are free of charge.

After shopping, Lin Manshan returned to the upper floor and placed a purchase order to Si Long. Now he has spirit tools, he is prepared to bring more metal back and send Tie Shan some by the way. After the explanation, he met with Lou Gao again, facing Lou Gao's persuasion, Lin Manshan told Lou Gao about the situation of the old Jack's family who adopted him, as well as the fact that he was going to go to Heaven Dou City in the future. In Lou Gao's astonished expression, he smoothly diagnosed Lou Gao's body on the spot.

Although Lou Gao's strength had already reached Spirit Saint, it was inevitable that his body's muscles were a bit rigid after years of beating iron. Seeing this situation, he gave Lou Gao a set of acupuncture treatments that night.

The next day, he took advantage of the rest time to give several senior brothers a set each, directly filling up their goodwill value.

As for the rest of the time, Lin Manshan has been receiving personal instructions from Lou Gao. After all, he has decided to go back to the Heaven Dou Empire, and won't come back for a long time after that, so Lou Gao can only take advantage of this period of time to teach everything he can. Fortunately, Lin Manshan has a solid foundation, what he lacks most is practical experience, because of that, Lou Gao's instructions are mainly focused on his own casting unique skills. As for the rest, he has to go back to read more books and swing the hammer more.

Under Lou Gao's compact teaching schedule, the days passed quickly, three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the morning of the fourth day, after breakfast and a round of goodbyes, Lin Manshan headed to the city gate station.

The crowd once again boarded the carriage and headed in the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire.

PS: Although the original story doesn't describe much, the person who can become the president of the Blacksmith Association, Lou Gao shouldn't be stupid.
