—------------------—
The moon is at its zenith and the sun is about to rise. Time passes without a trace and the night is over quickly.
As the soul power in his body slowly calmed down, Xu Tianyang's consciousness also slowly awakened. At this moment, he felt that his brain was clearer than ever before, and most of the vague memories of his previous life were recalled. It was as if he had replaced his CPU, and his thinking was terrifyingly agile.
"Ah~"
"It feels really good to be officially practicing!"
Standing up and stretching, Xu Tianyang exhaled a breath of foul air, his eyes full of joy. After a night of practice, he not only fully mastered the soul power that had just awakened in his body, but he was also pleasantly surprised to find that his daily morning lessons were not useless.
Although I don't understand the profound meaning of the Taoist classics from my previous life, they themselves have a unique effect that can invisibly enhance my mental strength. It can also be regarded as a rough method of spiritual cultivation.
Praise the Three Pure Ones!
"Crack—"
The door opened, and Mu Mengyu walked in with a smile, looking at her energetic son with surprise.
"Mother!"
"My first time practicing actually lasted an entire night. This was beyond my expectations."
The process of cultivation is boring, and once you start practicing, you cannot move around, otherwise it will be easy to exit the state of meditation.
Once the mind is in a mess, the effect of sensing the elemental energy of heaven and earth will be much worse, and the speed of cultivation will naturally slow down. Moreover, this process is not like sleeping, which passes by in the blink of an eye.
When practicing, soul masters can clearly feel the passage of time. In other words, how long you practice is equivalent to how long you sit still.
If it were someone who couldn't calm down, it would be difficult for them to practice for two hours a day.
It is important to start practicing as early as possible; the earlier you practice, the better the effect. However, children are often the least able to concentrate, so the effective practice time per day is very limited.
Now is the time to compete for innate soul power and resources.
The speed of cultivation varies greatly among soul masters. For example, Huo Yuhao's innate soul power was at level one. After awakening his martial soul, he cultivated desperately, but he only reached level ten when he was almost twelve years old.
Wang Dong, who is of the same age, focuses on practicing according to circumstances and was already a Level 21 Great Soul Master when he entered school.
Dai Huabin and Ning Tian, geniuses of the same class who have good talents and no shortage of resources, have even cultivated to the level of Soul Master.
And this gap will only get bigger in the future.
But these have nothing to do with Xu Tianyang. He belongs to the latter. He has talent and background. Level 99 will not be his end.
Xu Tianyang did not explain too much. He was not a child at heart, so he still had some self-control.
Mu Mengyu didn't dwell on this too much. Xu Tianyang had been very opinionated since he was a child. When he was six years old, he often immersed himself in the library. Now he could endure the boredom of cultivation. Although she was a little surprised, that was all.
"This is a secret medicinal meal made in the palace. Although your father and I have decided not to give you pills to assist in your cultivation, you still have to eat this medicinal meal to nourish your body. For a soul master, not only soul power is important, but a strong physique is also of paramount importance."
Mu Mengyu waved her hand, and a beautiful maid came in carrying a bowl of fragrant and somewhat sticky soup.Xu Tianyang didn't hesitate too much. He picked up the bowl of medicinal food made from unknown ingredients and drank it all in one gulp.
As soon as the medicinal food entered his stomach, he suddenly felt a stream of heat flowing from his stomach to his limbs.
Feeling that the medicinal power had not been fully absorbed in his body, Xu Tianyang turned and came to the side hall. Inside the hall was a small soul guide laboratory. After coming to the Sun and Moon Empire, Xu Tianyang naturally did some research on the black technology of this Douluo world.
Coming to a metal platform about half a meter high, Xu Tianyang picked up a small metal hammer next to it with both hands with ease. The handle of the metal hammer was about one foot long, and the hammer head was cylindrical, half a foot long, and weighed about thirty pounds. The hammer, which was difficult for an ordinary six-year-old child to move, was easy to use in his hands.
Taking out a piece of metal and placing it on the forging table, Xu Tianyang swung the hammer with his right hand and smashed it on the round metal.
"Bang!"
A sharp metallic roar suddenly rang out, and Xu Tianyang seemed tireless, striking left and right, continuously.
"Bang, bang, bang."
Watching her son's movements, Mu Mengyu was no longer surprised. She had no prejudice against her son learning forging. Forging can exercise the body and is indeed a good means of exercise in the early stages, as long as you don't immerse yourself in it.
The production of soul guides does require many precious metals, some of which need to be processed by high-level craftsmen to meet performance requirements.
However, generally no high-level soul masters would immerse themselves in forging. If they need any materials, they would usually go to the market to buy them.
Xu Tianyang learned forging because he wanted to see if he could create the kind of living metal in Douluo Dalu. Knowing the future of soul guides, he was naturally envious of the soul guide mecha and the terrifying Battle Armor.
As for whether it would succeed, that was not within his consideration. The most difficult part of scientific research was the 'zero to one' process. As long as he could forge a metal with such properties, the Sun-Moon Empire would naturally have plenty of scientific research maniacs who would conduct research in the direction of Dou Kai and soul-guided mechas.
Now he is just familiar with the basics, and in the future he will definitely set up a special research team to study this topic.
"Bang!!!"
As the hammer continued to hit, Xu Tianyang began to sweat. After three hundred hits, his arms began to feel sore, and as he continued, the soreness finally turned into pain.
At this moment, he was sweating like a pig, his clothes were stuck to his body, and sweat kept dripping. However, in the process, the heat flowing in his body had dissipated without him knowing when.
"Are you tired? I've asked Xiaorou to prepare the bath water. You're sweating all over. Go take a shower first."
Mu Mengyu had walked to Xu Tianyang's side at some point. The moment he put down the forging hammer, she gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel made of century-old ice silk.
Xiaorou is the maid just now. She has followed Mu Mengyu for ten years and has watched Xu Tianyang grow up since he was a child.
"Thank you, mother!"
He nodded, took the towel from Mu Mengyu's hand, casually wiped the sweat off his body, looked at the piece of fine steel on the forging table, and shook his head. If he wanted to successfully forge spiritual metal, he would have a long way to go.
I'm afraid I won't have much time to immerse myself in it anymore, so I'll just leave it to those crazy guys in the research institute.
I believe that those scientific research fanatics would be more suitable for studying forging than myself.
