Zhen Hua and Mu Ye came to the dining hall and saw Qian Mo sitting alone by the table, quietly eating.
Zhen Hua sat beside Qian Mo, his expression amiable, and said softly, "Teacher was wrong just now. I shouldn't have curbed your ideas for my own selfish reasons. Teacher apologizes to you here."
Qian Mo said in a muffled voice, "My tone was a bit harsh just now too. I hope Teacher can be magnanimous."
"Hahaha, that's right. A teacher is like a father, and a disciple is like a son. How can there be overnight grudges between teachers and disciples? Everything is fine once it's talked out," Mu Ye said with a smile.
"Your Thousand Faces Angel Project, Teacher supports you. You can tell Teacher about any problems you encounter, but you must remember to think twice before acting and don't hurt yourself," Zhen Hua instructed.
Qian Mo waved his hand, "Don't worry, Teacher, I'm not foolish. I will definitely only try after confirming it's safe."
Zhen Hua nodded with satisfaction, "It's good that you know what you're doing. Eat quickly. After you rest, I'll teach you Fusion Forging."
"The process of Spirit Forging is essentially the process of giving life to metal. The better the metal, the greater the probability of its vitality being awakened, and the greater the possibility of it being Spirit Forged. Therefore, in order to increase the success rate of Spirit Forging, after countless generations of blacksmiths' experiments, we found another method. That is to forge different metals together to improve their quality. This is Spirit Alloy."
Zhen Hua, with his hands behind his back, explained the principle of Fusion Forging to Qian Mo with a serious face, adding, "If you want your Dou Armor to have the ability to promote the fusion of two Spirits, alloying is likely the forging technique you must study in depth."
Qian Mo nodded deeply in agreement. He thought so too. Choosing metals that are highly compatible with the attributes of the Divinity Mask Spirit and the Eight-Winged Seraph Spirit respectively and fusing them to amplify the compatibility of the two Spirits would definitely not be a problem.
Zhen Hua began teaching Qian Mo how to forge alloys. It was also from this moment that Qian Mo truly entered the realm of high-level blacksmiths, because high-level Dou Armor is all based on Spirit Alloy.
Alloy forging starts with the formula. The most important thing is also the formula. These formulas have been tempered and verified countless times by predecessors. It can be said that every alloy formula is extremely precious and something that people will definitely treasure.
As a Divine Craftsman, the alloy formulas in Zhen Hua's hands were naturally the top-tier ones. Qian Mo carefully selected those suitable for himself and studied them diligently.
Two days later, in the forging room, Zhen Hua shouted, "Thousand Forging grants Spirit, Fusion Forging awakens Spirit."
"Rise!"
Qian Mo roared and brought down his hammer. White, silver, and gold tri-colored light surged from the metal, lasting for twenty-odd seconds before gradually subsiding.
An oval-shaped metal appeared on the forging table. It looked entirely golden, with internal cloud patterns, as if mist was flowing within. Although not Spirit Forged, it was already full of vitality, emitting a dazzling halo.
"Fusion degree ninety-three percent." Zhen Hua stepped forward, tested it with an instrument, and then said to Qian Mo.
"Oh, it's okay," Qian Mo said nonchalantly.
Zhen Hua's mouth twitched. He really didn't know if this kid was showing off or genuinely didn't care. He had originally thought that Qian Mo would at most reach eighty percent on his first attempt at forging Spirit Alloy, but he didn't expect Qian Mo to directly achieve over ninety percent.
Indeed, when Qian Mo was forging, the metal was more docile than under his own hands, so it was not surprising that the Spirit Alloy he forged could reach over ninety percent.
Qian Mo said forcefully, "My future goal is to make every piece of Spirit Alloy on my One-Word Battle Armor reach a fusion degree of over ninety-five percent."
In the world of blacksmiths, Spirit Alloy with a fusion degree of ninety-five percent is called the foundation of Godhood Alloy. This type of alloy can eventually be fused with a total of nine kinds of metals.
Spirit Alloy that has completed the fusion of nine metals is called Godhood Alloy. It is extremely precious, and even Limit Douluo existences are eager for it.
Zhen Hua gave Qian Mo a thumbs up, "Good, you have ambition. However, even I wouldn't dare guarantee that I can forge a fusion degree of over ninety-five percent. If you want to achieve this goal, it will be extremely difficult."
Qian Mo spread his hands and said helplessly, "No choice. The higher the fusion degree, the more clearly beneficial it is to the Thousand Faces Angel Project."
"Okay, I've taught you what I needed to teach. You should go back to Shrek," Zhen Hua said.
Qian Mo bowed and said, "Teacher, please take care of your health. I will carry the banner of forging. This student takes his leave."
Zhen Hua smiled with satisfaction, "I have always believed in you, A Mo."
After returning to Shrek Academy, Qian Mo, besides his daily cultivation, mainly focused on two things: the Visualization Method and forging suitable Spirit Alloy.
With his previous experience visualizing the Golden Eye Black Dragon King, the Visualization Method created by Qian Mo was already quite mature and complete. Although visualizing a non-existent White-Robed Divine King out of thin air would be relatively slow, it wasn't a problem.
But the key was, what characteristics should this White-Robed Divine King being visualized possess?
The initial purpose of visualizing the White-Robed Divine King was to enable himself to use the Divinity Mask Spirit simultaneously with the Eight-Winged Seraph Spirit. Therefore, the White-Robed Divine King must possess outstanding spiritual attributes and also align with the core simulation ability of the Divinity Mask Spirit, which can transform into all things.
Having determined the direction, Qian Mo began his visualization journey.
The matter of the Visualization Method wasn't difficult, but the problems with forging troubled Qian Mo greatly. For a long time, he hadn't been able to forge Spirit Alloy that could help the two Spirits fuse.
The most critical thing was that without suitable Spirit Alloy, the core magic arrays couldn't be developed later, and the Thousand Faces Angel Project came to a standstill for a time.
On the lawn by the Sea God Lake, Qian Mo lay there lazily, a blade of grass in his mouth, resting. In his eyes, however, was unspeakable distress. This feeling of being stuck truly made Qian Mo very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Spirit Masters all use meditation instead of sleep, otherwise Qian Mo would probably suffer from sleepless nights.
"Are you still troubled by the Thousand Faces Angel Project?" Gu Yuena's clear and cold voice sounded beside Qian Mo. She adjusted her dress and sat beside Qian Mo, looking at him with gentle eyes.
Qian Mo nodded and said concisely, "No ideas, very uncomfortable."
"Hmm..." Gu Yuena tilted her head, her finger touching her red lips. After thinking adorably for a while, she said, "Perhaps, the problem with your idea is that the direction you started in was wrong?"
"Hmm?" Qian Mo looked up at Gu Yuena, sat up, and looked at her seriously, "Then Na'er, do you have any insights?"
Gu Yuena said, "What you're thinking is to achieve the fusion of your two Spirits by amplifying their Spirit fusion degree. Although this method from the inside out is effective, I think it's a bit whimsical."
