Chapter 95 Myers' Choice (Please keep reading!!!)
"Borrowing power once will extend it by one year. If that's all, then even if I borrow power once a day, it would still take over twenty years to connect to the douluo continent ii node. This efficiency is too slow."
Su Ming recalled the number of times he had borrowed power in the past year and could confirm that he had not yet reached four hundred instances of borrowing power.
Let alone four hundred, he hadn't even reached one hundred. He stayed in Geng Xin City and didn't engage in frequent battles; in fact, he rarely made a move. Even for forging, he only borrowed power when his spirit power was insufficient.
"So, there are other influencing factors for the extension of the illusory future."
Su Ming couldn't analyze anything for now and could only continue his normal cultivation.
His thoughts returned to the present.
"Teacher can now almost replicate Spirit Forging, and Second Senior Brother has also mastered Thousand Forging with Spirit."
Unlike douluo continent ii and douluo iii's Su Ming, douluo continent i Su Ming focused on Spirit Forging. After his first Spirit Forging, Zhu Jiuyang also began to learn from his disciple again. Now, besides success, he has mastered all the necessary techniques.
douluo iii's Su Ming happened to achieve a breakthrough in forging through forging faith. After that, all three Su Mings were trying to replicate that feeling.
douluo continent ii's Su Ming succeeded once.
douluo iii's Su Ming also succeeded twice more this year.
douluo continent i Su Ming, this year, without using external aids like faith, purely relied on forging techniques to replicate Spirit Forging thirty-six times!
This was an achievement that even douluo continent ii and douluo iii's Su Ming, who shared his memories and thoughts completely, couldn't replicate.
Su Ming looked at Xiao Jin, who was meditating with a large piece of chen yin (sinking silver) in the forging shop, and couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Jin was the key to his success.
Of course, douluo iii's Su Ming was learning Fusion Forging with Zhen Hua and didn't specifically ask Zhen Hua for guidance on Spirit Forging, and douluo continent ii's Su Ming was also consolidating Fusion Forging. These two points were also somewhat important.
Geng Xin City Spirit Hall Main Hall.
Myers looked at the two pieces of Spiritual Metal in front of him, his eyes flickering. The desire named greed burst forth from his eyes.
"So, they have this kind of technology. No wonder the entire Association, from top to bottom, reformed, and even the title of Divine Craftsman was abolished."
A raging fire burned in Myers' heart.
Can he take it?
As a greedy Platinum Bishop, after finally confirming the changes in the Forging Masters Association, Myers' first thought was to take over the Forging Masters Association and control all Forging Masters who mastered the new forging techniques.
But at the same time, being able to reach the position of Platinum Bishop, he also had the ability to weigh the pros and cons.
After a brief moment of greed, a sudden wave of fear swept over him.
"Zhu Jiuyang, this piece of Spiritual Metal was forged by Zhu Jiuyang. On the other hand, the former Divine Craftsman President Lou Gao has no works, proving that this technology is in Zhu Jiuyang's hands."
A look of apprehension flashed in Myers' eyes.
Spirit Hall has a total of four Platinum Bishops. Compared to positions like Spirit Hall Branch Master, Platinum Bishop is a nominal position, more of an honor representing one's status in Spirit Hall, but without substantial power.
Salas is a true Platinum Bishop, with a spirit power level of eighty-seven, and he also serves as the Master of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Temple, one of only two Spirit Temples in the capitals of the two great Empires. His status and power are second only to the Supreme Pontiff, Elders, and Consecrators.
Myers, however, is different. He himself is only a Spirit Emperor, yet he holds the title of Platinum Bishop.
Bishops of Spirit Hall are not hereditary like imperial titles. Myers being able to serve as a Platinum Bishop clearly means he has rendered great service to Spirit Hall; at least, he can't be brainless.
Of course, his greed for wealth and lust cannot be excused; he truly is greedy for wealth and lust.
Zhu Jiuyang is already a Spirit Douluo. Although he hasn't publicly announced it, Myers learned of this from various deductions by his subordinates.
The key is that Zhu Jiuyang's identity is not ordinary. Others might be wary of him, a Platinum Bishop, but Zhu Jiuyang would not be.
If he truly killed him, Spirit Hall would probably only issue a symbolic condemnation, and if the problem was found to be with him, Myers might have to bear all the blame.
"My capacity cannot swallow the current Forging Masters Association."
Myers was somewhat annoyed.
Didn't he come to Geng Xin City because he had his eyes on the Blacksmith Association?
The gathering place for blacksmiths on the continent, this place could be said to be where armies are built. As long as all the blacksmiths here are controlled, a well-equipped army could be quickly built.
It's just that Spirit Hall has not yet established a nation, so it cannot openly expand its army on a large scale, which is why it has never taken down the Blacksmith Association.
But Myers had long been making arrangements here. A Spirit Emperor suppressed the Spirit Saints of the Blacksmith Association, making them dare not defy him, and had already broken the Spirit of the Blacksmith Association. Whenever Spirit Hall needed it, it could annex the Blacksmith Association.
He originally thought that such a great merit was firmly within his grasp, but now he was told that the meat at his mouth had become even more succulent and delicious, and he couldn't eat it.
Myers felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.
His face was grim as he made a difficult decision.
"Have the Supreme Pontiff Palace send someone to discuss cooperation. I will only take credit for the discovery and effort."
Making a choice, he sent a message to the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Hurry up, don't waste time. Ten pieces of Spiritual Metal were released at this auction. It's hard to guarantee that other forces won't notice this place."
Myers was able to discover the Spiritual Metal because the Forging Masters Association had promoted an auction, selling a total of twelve pieces of Spiritual Metal.
Among them, the Spirit Hall Main Hall only acquired two pieces of Spiritual Metal.
Myers was warned on the spot not to monopolize the auction and was even humiliated by Zhu Jiuyang's spirit power pressure from a distance.
He could imagine that not only would other forces notice this place, but the Forging Masters Association itself was also sending out signals, trying to attract attention.
Su Ming completed his daily forging tasks and brought Xiao Jin to the Forging Masters Association.
It has been over a year since he began to expose his Soul Spirit and Soul Imbuement techniques to the public, and the entire Association only has two new Forging Masters—Zhu Jiuyang and Duan Jin.
That's right, Duan Jin.
When he and Zhu Jiuyang learned Soul Imbuement from Su Ming, he seemed to perform poorly, but in reality, he was already very excellent. It was just that Zhu Jiuyang's foundation was too good; he could forcefully perform continuous forging, with a high frequency of trial and error, which made Duan Jin seem dull by comparison.
In fact, Su Ming had calculated that Duan Jin's number of failed attempts for his first Soul Imbuement operation was similar to Zhu Jiuyang's, and the number of failed attempts for completing a full Thousand Forging with Spirit after the Soul Imbuement was also not far off.
There are only three Forging Masters including Su Ming so far, but there are still some Forging Masters with Soul Spirits, exceeding ten.
Among them, the original Divine Craftsmen and other Grandmaster-level individuals besides Zhu Jiuyang are still a long way from breaking through. Among the original Master-level individuals, three have broken through their ranks, and besides them, there are seven new individuals with lower original forging techniques.
Among the seven newcomers, four are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the remaining three are Lou Gao's grand-disciples.
Of the three who were originally Blacksmith Masters, two cooperated with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, obtained authorization for the Soul Spirit array, and absorbed a Soul Spirit. The other contributed to the Association and absorbed a Soul Spirit from Su Ming.
Su Ming pondered the changes in the Association over the past year, secretly contemplating the direction of future reforms, and headed towards Zhu Jiuyang's forging room.
