Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 338: Transforming the Armored Body, Advancement Conditions for [Spirit Forging Master]
Duggie's backyard.
As Lin Qianxing swung his spiritual hammer, clinking sounds were heard continuously. Under the influence of his [Overlay Forging] Taoist skill, the two pieces of black iron that had been forged hundreds of times were overlapped together and completely turned into a whole.
Then Lin Qianxing used the Taoist skill [Shapeshift] to quickly transform into a shoulder armor part.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing used the Taoist skill of [Forging Objects and Infusing Them with Spirits] to infuse the shoulder armor with spirits.
Looking at the dark and heavy shoulder armor, Lin Qianxing picked it up and embedded it on his right shoulder.
With a click, the shoulder armor completely became a part of Lin Qianxing's body.
"It's finally done." Lin Qianxing opened his mouth and spoke in a normal voice.
At this time, more than a month .
For more than a month, Lin Qianxing has been updating the parts of his body and changing the strength of his armor.
Now his entire body is covered in second-order extreme-level forged black iron, which is extremely tough. His body strength and energy conductivity have been greatly improved, allowing him to better exert and utilize the power provided by the [Sun Core], and it will no longer leak out easily, causing waste.
At the same time, he also installed weapons such as shields, guns, knives, swords, ropes, and thunder tubes in his body.
There are also more means of fighting.
In addition, the jet device behind him has also been improved, making his flying speed much faster.
Overall, Lin Qianxing's strength improvement is quite huge.
The only thing that made Lin Qianxing feel a little troubled was that as his body became stronger, its weight also increased.
Although his body shape has not changed much now, his overall weight has increased by at least dozens of times.
If he didn't use his mental strength to support himself, and just walked normally, he would have one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the normal ground would not be able to bear his weight.
But being heavy has its advantages. Lin Qianxing feels that if he fights against the War God Armored Body again, he will definitely be able to hurt it.
With such a mass, plus the explosive speed after his [Sun Core] is fully activated, even if it cannot penetrate the War God's armor, it will at least make him lose a layer of skin.
And if you can damage the War God's armor, you will definitely be able to destroy it.
Therefore, Lin Qianxing was confident that he could win when facing the War God Armor Body.
After replacing his entire body armor, Lin Qianxing is now thinking about advancement.
His [Weaponsmith] occupation has been stuck at the second level, and the next step is to advance to the third level.
The academy provides several directions for advancement.
First of all, there are the specialized [Swordsmiths], [Knifesmiths] and so on.
The conditions for their advancement are very simple. All you need to do is forge a lower-level third-order knife or sword.
Then there is the slightly less specialized [Weapon Blacksmith].
This thing requires the forging of ten lower-level third-order weapons to achieve the conditions.
There is also the direct advancement of [Weaponsmith] to [Weaponsmith Master].
You can advance by forging any lower-level third-order artifact.
In addition to the above options, there is also a final and more difficult advancement path [Soul Forger].
The condition for advancement is to forge a third-level artifact that is naturally spiritualized.
In the words of the craftsmen of Tiangong Academy, it is a third-level item that embodies the soul of craftsmanship.
That is to say, just like Dugi, it is something forged after an epiphany.
And it’s not the first or second order, but the third order.
Enlightenment is something you can only encounter by chance.
The level of comprehension has a certain influence on enlightenment, but it is not absolute. Luck really plays a big role in this matter.
Suddenly you see something that touches you, and then you may have an epiphany.
And it was even more of a coincidence that a third-level artifact was forged during the process of enlightenment.
Precisely because of this luck-dependent condition, this path to advancement has been extinct in Tiangong Academy for more than 500 years.
Among these paths, Lin Qianxing's favorite is [Spirit Forger].
It’s just that enlightenment is a little difficult to achieve.
Lin Qianxing's main world entity is no stranger to enlightenment.
In other words, his true self is in a state of enlightenment almost all the time.
To put it bluntly, that thing is the unity of man and nature, and in the process of doing things, we use the power of heaven and earth.
With the accumulated understanding and strength of his main world, he can easily use the power of heaven and earth to enter into enlightenment.
But now he has lost control of this body.
Lin Qianxing decided to learn from Du Ji and continue to make one tool at a time, accumulating experience and trying his luck.
Maybe one day it will succeed.
He decided to try it for a month or two. If it didn't work, he would have to choose another advanced route.
Time passed, and several days passed.
The puppet that Du Ji helped Lu Rang to make was also produced.
It cannot be compared with Lin Qianxing's current armor, it has only reached the upper level of the first level at most, and its parts have not been activated.
Du Ji could only ask Lin Qianxing to help awaken the spirit.
Lin Qianxing did not refuse and activated the entire body of armor.
After the awakening of the spirit was completed, the entire body trembled for a moment, and then returned to calm.
The ignorant spiritual consciousness still needs to be cultivated. Only by constantly adjusting to the user's spirit can it gradually master more knowledge and become more powerful, so that one day it can act independently.
After Lu Rang got the armor, he seemed very excited.
After all, although the material of the armor body is not high-end, the project of activating the entire armor body is not easy.
To put it bluntly, all the lecturers in Tiangong Academy combined would need at least a year and a half to awaken the spirit of this entire body.
Awakening the soul is an extremely mentally exhausting thing. Generally, it is the core of the body that is awakened, which will gradually infect the entire body.
This one directly activates all the small parts inside, which is considered a big deal.
Moreover, the spirit can be awakened in such a short time, which shows his means.
Lu Rang had already confirmed his guess in his mind that Du Ji's teacher was definitely a fourth-level powerful man who was hiding in the city, otherwise he would never be able to do such an exaggerated thing.
The transaction was completed, and Duggie returned to his residence with the gold ticket.
"How much?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Senior Brother Lu was very generous and gave me one thousand gold coins," Du Ji said.
"It's quite generous, but their Lu family controls nearly half of the money houses in the entire Dazhi country, so this should be considered a small amount of money." Lin Qianxing nodded .
It's quite strange. Lu Rang has a second-level [Merchant] Taoist rank, but when he went to participate in the academy competition, he chose the Academy of Music and Arts.
Should we say that life and hobbies are two different things after all?
Judging from his appearance, he is more likely to become a great musician than a wealthy businessman.
But you never know, what if they want them all?
A musician who doesn’t know how to do business is not a good businessman?
With the money provided by Lu Rang, plus the rewards for the winning academy in the academy competition, and the compensation given by Miaoxuan Academy for Lin Qianxing blocking the War God Armor Body.
In an instant Duggie became a rich man.
At Lin Qianxing's request, Du Ji directly moved to a larger house in Shangcheng, and also refurbished the original forging equipment.
However, these expenses did not bother Duggie at all.
The expenses on life are always small. The real big expense is still on technology. Lin Qianxing spent hundreds of gold just to buy some third-level forging materials.
If he didn't have the skill of [Decomposition] to reuse these materials, Du Ji's money would not be enough.
Du Ji also planned to advance at this time.
Forging a second-level artifact is not difficult for Lin Qianxing. As long as the material grade is up to standard, he doesn't think he will fail.
But when Duggie started forging, he found that things were not that simple.
Although Du Ji used second-level materials, the forged objects could never meet the advanced requirements.
Only then did Lin Qianxing realize that there were hidden conditions for advancement.
It doesn't mean that you can just take a second-level material and shape it and it will be forged successfully.
Instead, you must actually use that material, combine it with your own wisdom, and forge an innovative object.
From this, Lin Qianxing made another guess.
That is, advancement can be divided into barely advancing and excellent advancing.
This may affect the Taoist skills you obtain.
The more perfect the advancement conditions are when you advance, the more benefits you may get.
So, things that seem random are not actually that random.
These should obviously be common sense, but Lin Qianxing did not see any records of them in the books of the academy.
The lecturers who taught them did not give detailed instructions.
Lin Qianxing seemed to have realized something in his mind. It seemed that these Taoists were also intentionally monopolizing some knowledge in order to ensure their own extraordinary status.
That’s right, although the academy teaches skills, further advanced knowledge of Taoist positions has never been made public, and can only be learned from lecturers.
This is just like the martial arts sects that Lin Qianxing once encountered in the game "Eternal Spring Kung Fu". Most of them are very proud of what they have.
I keep all my little skills and tricks hidden for fear that others would know about them.
Of course, in the underworld, the more information you reveal, the faster you die, which is understandable.
Only by hiding deeper and preventing others from seeing through you can you occupy more advantageous positions.
Just like the current academy.
Its status is so high that even within the country of Dazhi, it is almost not subject to its control.
Compared with going to Dazhi to become an official, many students would rather stay in the academy for the rest of their lives to improve their skills and study knowledge.
Time passed quickly and more than a month passed.
Du Ji finally met the requirements in a forging mission, and his [Apprentice] Taoist profession was advanced to the second level, becoming a [Forger].
After Lin Qianxing asked him about the Taoist skills he had acquired through advancement, Lin Qianxing confirmed his guess.
There are indeed different levels of advancement.
The more perfect the advancement conditions are, the more power you gain, and the better your Taoist skills will be.
At this time, Lin Qianxing had almost grasped the inspiration.
During this period of time, Lin Qianxing has been forging a thumb-sized Sky Eye every day.
His fully spiritualized body came into play, strengthening his computing power. Every time he forged, it could summarize and improve some detailed skills, and make it easier for Lin Qianxing to control himself.
The plug-in of [Hengwo] makes Lin Qianxing's condition only at the peak.
In other words, he will only continue to improve and will not regress.
Every time he improves, he becomes a little stronger.
With his continuous summarization, Lin Qianxing has now made almost no progress in the forging skills of the Sky Eye.
He had a hunch that the next time he forged it, he would be able to give it the so-called "craftsman's soul".
