When Ling Yi showed off his skills in martial arts surgery/palm surgery, Dugu Bo felt that half of the worldview he had cultivated over decades had collapsed.
It turns out that martial arts and soul skills can still be used like this?
"So, boy Ling's martial spirit is really the useless martial spirit "Blue Silver Grass"?" Dugu Bo asked.
Long Yin nodded: "That's right!"
"So, Ling's innate soul power is really only half a level?" Dugu Bo asked again.
Zhang Mufeng also nodded: "Of course!"
"So, Ling's family background is really just that of ordinary villagers. There has never been a soul master in our ancestors? He is the first?!" Dugu Bo's eyes widened and his breathing became heavy unconsciously.
Qingqiu Xin, Li Zhishu, and Jiang Yuan all nodded: "Yes! That's it!"
Dugu Bo: "Boil——!"
The above conversation took place more than half an hour after the meal, and the location changed from a hotel box to a blacksmith shop run by a senior blacksmith in "Sabak City".
With unconcealed surprise in his eyes, Dugu Bo looked towards Ling Yi, who was standing by the stove more than ten meters away and observed the metal ingots turning red and softening as they were licked by the blazing flames.
For a moment, Dugu Bo suddenly wanted to go home and bring his thirteen-year-old son over to let him see what a real hero is!
Yes, a hero, not a genius!
There can be many geniuses, Dugu Bo became the Soul Emperor at the age of forty-one, and Jiang Yuan sitting next to him also became the Soul King at the age of thirty-four!
People like Dugu Bo and Jiang Yuan are talented people with the potential to become Contra. Looking at the Douluo Continent, they are all sought after by people wherever they go.
But heroes are different. A hero is a being who can stir up the situation of a place and a time. He is a being who can still have a commendable deed when he is mentioned by others many years later.
Ling Yi, in Dugu Bo's eyes at this moment, seems to be such an existence.
Although his martial spirit is inferior and he is known as a useless martial spirit, and although his qualifications are low and his innate soul power is only half a level, it stands to reason that he cannot go very far on the road of being a soul master.
Even if he has now become a second-level great soul master, which is beyond everyone's expectations, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he reaches level 30 and becomes a soul master.
But almost everyone does not think that Ling Yi is a genius on the road to martial arts and soul masters.
The two points of "Blue Silver Grass" and half-level innate soul power have almost locked the upper limit of Ling Yi's future!
But even so, Ling Yi is still a man of the hour in [Shuimu Principality] today!
From the Grand Duke Mufeng and the Marquis of Cedar to the common people, when Ling Yi is mentioned, there is no one who fails to praise him.
In fact, Ling Yi’s background and experience, as well as his achievements today, are really inspiring!
Even Grand Duke Mufeng, in the past two years, often said "Look at what Ling Yi is doing..." when educating his heir, Little Duke Mu Feng.
Let’s talk about the simplest and most intuitive data.
Since the establishment of the [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch], the overall GDP of the entire [Shuimu Principality] has increased by nearly 20%!
At first, everyone was surprised. It was obvious that only the income of the blacksmiths had been increased, and that only the military department of the principality had received substantial benefits, but the overall wealth of the entire principality seemed to have been improved!
Until Ling Yi spoke up and told Grand Duke Mufeng and other senior officials of the principality that because the blacksmiths had money, in addition to purchasing mineral raw materials, they would also purchase other items, which in turn allowed the money to flow to ordinary people and professionals in other industries.<
/p>
When these people have full pockets, they will buy the supplies they need. Wealth flows like water.
At this moment, [Shuimu Principality] woke up from a dream, as if a chick opened its eyes for the first time and saw the world clearly.
It turns out that for a country's power, wealth is not how rich the nobles at the top are, but the value that is created in all aspects by circulating in the hands of the people of the country!
It can be said that in [Shuimu Principality], although Ling Yi is still a little baron, his strength among the group of soul masters is just an ordinary great soul master, but he enjoys more power than an earl.
A half-level courtesy!
But all of this was achieved step by step by a sixteen-year-old boy who was born in a village, whose martial soul was the useless martial soul "Blue Silver Grass", and whose innate soul power was less than half a level, relying on his own wisdom and hard work. p>
"Dang——!"
A crisp sound brought Dugu Bo's thoughts back to reality.
Focusing his eyes, he looked at the large metal ingot that had been smelted into a whole at some point and re-solidified due to the drop in temperature. It was deformed under a dark iron hammer the size of a human head.
The next moment, Ling Yi, holding a forging hammer, turned into a human-shaped top, dancing like a whirlwind.
About three or four meters away, the owner of the blacksmith shop was staring intently at Ling Yi's movements and the forging hammer in Ling Yi's hand that originally belonged to him.
In everyone's eyes, Ling Yi's body gradually began to exude an aura as it danced, as fiery as a flame!
Unlike the real flame in the furnace, which only makes people feel hot, the heat emanating from Ling Yi's body is purer, making people feel the urge to beat violently involuntarily.
It’s like...excited!
"What kind of power is this?"
At some point, Dugu Bo, who had already walked to the blacksmith shop owner, asked Long Yin and others who were walking beside him.
"That's Qi and blood!" Zhang Mufeng replied: "Brother Yi said that this kind of power comes from our bodies and is not restricted by martial souls, soul power, and soul rings. It is one of the purest powers!"<
/p>
"Dang Dang Dang——!!"
The percussion is like a storm, but the rhythm is rhythmic, like a dynamic percussion performance.
As he listened and watched, Dugu Bo's eyes became brighter and brighter: "This power...has surpassed that of my soul master!"
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo suddenly frowned and took a moment to turn his head and glance at the blacksmith shop owner with an enthusiastic expression, as if he were on a pilgrimage.
"..." After opening his mouth, Dugu Bo didn't say anything in the end. He just watched Ling Yi's dancing figure intently and waited silently.
As a product that has been launched to the market, Ling Yi is already familiar with it, whether it is the smelting and forging of the raw materials of "Immersion Silver Inner Armor" or the subsequent weaving and weaving.
When the moon reaches its zenith, the already deserted streets outside are covered with silver frost. On the workbench in the blacksmith shop, a piece of silver-gray inner armor is clearly displayed, and a trace of the hot smell of the fire has not completely dissipated.
.
Silently putting the "Heavy Silver Inner Armor" into the storage soul guide, Dugu Bo watched and patiently explained to Zhang Mufeng, Long Yin, Qingqiu Xin, and the owner of the blacksmith shop the various experiences of the previous forging.
If you encounter something you can't figure out, you'll ask.
Among them, the owner of the blacksmith shop asked the most questions.
At first, the boss was a little reluctant to let go, but with Ling Yi's gentle voice and a smile that answered every question, the more he asked, the more relaxed he became, and the more he asked, almost becoming a senior blacksmith who had been trapped in these years.
Questions poured out all at once.
More than half an hour later, with the blacksmith shop owner refusing to charge for the use of tools and materials, and with a reluctant attitude, Ling Yi and others said goodbye and left.
On the way back to the hotel, Dugu Bo couldn't help but said to Ling Yi:
"Boy Ling, the formula of your "Blue Ocean Immersed Silver Alloy" and the "Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique" they just mentioned when they were talking about it, logically speaking, they are all things you need to settle down on your journey as a blacksmith..."
He turned to look at Zhang Mufeng and the other three, and then continued: "These three little guys are your followers, and they will teach you what they have learned. But why did you also...?"
Looking at Dugu Bo's slender and somewhat cold face, Ling Yi somehow suddenly took on the image of Orochimaru from the 'Naruto World'.
It may be that in the original work, the image of Dugu Bo when he appeared was too deeply rooted in people's hearts, or it may be that Dugu Bo's martial spirit is both snake and poisonous, so people subconsciously labeled him as cold, cruel, vicious, etc.
A series of negative labels.
But, think about it, in front of his granddaughter Duguyan, he was just an ordinary little old man; after being impressed by Tang San's knowledge of poisonous ways, he became the dignified Douluo Lord and fought with Tang San, who was still the Three-ring Soul Lord at the time.
They were friends of the same generation; after the [Tian Dou Empire] showed favor to him, he became one of the few titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent who contributed to the country's power...
This is Dugu Bo who has experienced the loss of his son in middle age and suffered from toxin backlash and pain all year round.
So, what kind of character is the young Dugu Bo, who has not yet reached the top of Douluo Continent, who has a wife and children at home?
Suppressing the surging thoughts in his mind, Ling Yi gave Dugu Bo a toothy smile. It was clear that the moon was high in the sky, but Dugu Bo seemed to see the sun in a trance.
"Senior Dugu, I have always felt that knowledge and skills are priceless."
"This priceless means both priceless and worthless."
"In my opinion, the value that can be created by disseminated knowledge is unlimited, but if it is only in the hands of a very few people, it may even be lost one day, and in the end, it will become worthless.
Not worth it anymore.”
"You think the knowledge I taught that boss is what I need to make a living, but my knowledge is still in my mind, and will become more and better as I learn!"
"Don't you think, I taught that boss today, and one day in the future I will be the boss, or the boss's descendant, and develop better skills. When the finished product of this skill appears on the mainland, it will be a wonderful thing.
Something?"
"I have sown the seeds, and I hope to see a new world full of flowers in the future!"
This mouthful of chicken soup is five hundred years ahead of Douluo Continent!
