"Living in this era, not to mention absorbing spirit rings beyond one's level, just getting the best spirit ring ratio is a problem."
Su Ming was a little helpless.
His current status is not very good, and the goal of the first spirit ring is only to get a hundred-year spirit ring. The so-called leapfrogging can only wait until the next spirit ring.
"Xiao Su, your spirit power is level ten, right?"
When Su Ming was thinking, Duan Tie came to him and asked.

Duan Tie's question made him stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes."
"Haven't figured out how to get spirit rings?"
Su Ming nodded.
"Uncle Duan, are you a hidden spirit master?"
Duan Tie smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
"No, I'm not a spirit master. Of course, my son is a spirit master. He will come back to see me in two days. If you need anything, I will ask him if he can take you to hunt souls."

Duan Tie's son?
Su Ming had some impression. When he was working in the blacksmith shop, he heard a few adults occasionally talk about Duan Tie's son. It seemed that he went to Gengxin City for further studies.
It turned out that Duan Tie's son was a soul master
. "Xiao Jin is a three-ring soul master, he should be able to help you."
Soul Master?
"Thank you, Uncle Duan."
Duan Tie laughed and said, "You have a good talent in forging. This time when my son came back, I wanted to introduce you to him and asked him to take you to Gengxin City."
Gengxin City?
Su Ming's expression moved slightly.
Doesn't this coincide with his idea?
"Xiao Su, Gengxin City is the holy land of blacksmiths. You can learn the most advanced forging technology there." Duan Tie said, "I see that you, Xiao Su, are also very passionate about forging, so I have this idea."

Su Ming said, "Uncle Duan, do you mean to suggest that I go to Gengxin City with your son to learn forging?"
"Yes." Duan Tie said, "I also know that you have the talent of a soul master, and there are many choices. If you don't want to go to Gengxin City, there are better choices. Uncle Duan I won't say much."
Su Ming smiled.
"Uncle Duan, how could I not want to go."
Duan Tie's eyes lit up.
He didn't tell Su Ming at first because he was worried about being rejected.
Although he had known Su Ming for less than a year, he witnessed Su Ming's transformation from a white man who knew nothing to now more and more proficient in forging skills, even surpassing himself. Of course, he thought that Su Ming could have a better future in forging.
He had the same idea when he sent his son to Gengxin City to become a disciple.
"Uncle Duan, what is your son's martial soul?" Su Ming asked.
"The martial soul is an iron hammer, which looks like my new forging hammer." Duan Tie pointed to the forging hammer he used outside.

Hammer?
That's pretty good.
With a martial soul like this, plus the Soul Master cultivation, it's not a problem to deal with a hundred-year-old soul beast.
So...
the problem of hunting souls is solved?
If so, I wonder if I can try to absorb soul rings of higher levels?
"Although the significance of skipping the first ring seems to be small, it is difficult to directly absorb the first thousand-year ring, but skipping the level itself is meaningful. Breaking the limit can often make the growth of the martial soul break through the current limit."
For the original martial soul, breaking the limit must become the norm, so that it can be awakened again later.
"I have also been training my body this year, which can be regarded as bringing out the advantages of the original martial soul. I won't skip too much, just look for a four-hundred-year-old soul beast."
According to the data collected by the master, the limit of the first soul ring is four hundred and twenty-three years.

Although it is ridiculous to be able to calculate the age of soul beasts down to the single digit, it should be about the same. The limit is a dozen or twenty years over four hundred years, and Su Ming can try to get close to five hundred years.
"Leap a little less, first experience the feeling of leapfrogging." Su Ming thought to himself.
This time, Su Ming is not 100% sure of leapfrogging, but at least 80% sure.
He even asked his future self to collect some information on leapfrogging soul rings to confirm that his situation meets the prerequisite for leapfrogging soul rings.
Soon, two days later.
Su Ming came to Duan's blacksmith shop.
"Xiao Jin, this is the Xiao Su I told you about." Duan Tie took Su Ming to the inner room.
Su Ming was very surprised when he saw Duan Jin, because Duan Jin did not look middle-aged, but rather a young man, and very young, and looked very energetic.
He was not like the traditional blacksmith, but a lean type, with very perfect muscle lines, and looked full of explosive power.

"Xiao Su, this is my son, Duan Jin. He is only 20 years old this year. You can just call him brother."
Only 20 years old?
Su Ming was even more surprised.
You know, to be able to become a Soul Master at this age is already considered a genius. The Soul Master Competition requires that the age must not exceed 25 years old, and there are very few Soul Masters in the competition.
With Duan Jin's age, he may even have the hope of becoming a Soul Sect within five years!
In the Soul Master Competition, Soul Sects are already the top group.
"It's all thanks to the teacher's help." Duan Jin said.
What he said was very sincere. He really believed that he had a good teacher to get to where he is today.
Blacksmiths with soul power are rare. Even in Gengxin City, it is very rare to receive an apprentice with good soul master talent, and they are often trained seriously.
But at the same time, the apprentice must also work hard and make progress, and have a real pursuit of forging.

This requires a two-way effort.
And the master and apprentice who can meet this condition are often the most enviable.
"My father said that you learned his skills in just half a year."
Seeing this, Duan Tie asked Su Ming to start the furnace to forge iron.
"Xiao Su, show your skills to Xiao Jin."
"Okay!"
Su Ming was also very motivated.
He knew that if he performed better with Duan Jin now, he would be more dedicated when he was hunting souls.
He could feel that both Duan and his son were blacksmiths who pursued forging.
As long as he could show his talent in forging and show his love for forging, he would be valued by the other party.
Not only the first soul ring, Su Ming would also need the second, third and even more soul rings in the future. If he wanted to absorb them all the way across levels, he would definitely not be able to hunt them himself, so he had to find a backer.

Duan Jin may not have a Titled Douluo behind him, but he can help Su Ming quickly gain a foothold in the Blacksmith Association.
Next, Su Ming devoted himself to forging.
In fact, he did not need to show it deliberately. Just his normal state in forging can make people feel his attitude towards forging. When Duan Jin saw Su Ming's happy expression every time he swung the forging hammer, he could tell that Su Ming was enjoying the process.
This is crucial for any blacksmith.
If you can't enjoy the fun of forging, you can't pursue the ultimate secret of forging.
Su Ming felt that his condition was surprisingly good.
Every hammer was just right.
He felt like he was dancing, waving the forging hammer in his hand, massaging the piece of iron in front of him, and each hammer hit the most comfortable point of the iron.
The iron block did not make any dull sound, but instead made a crisp ding, as if responding to Su Ming's condition.
