Douluo: I am a blacksmith

A clearing somewhere in the forest.

Qiu Ren smashed the ice sculpture, and a ghost tiger that was frozen and unconscious exposed its neck.

"Ruolin-----" Qiu Ren took out a dagger from his waist and handed it to Qiu Ruolin.

After taking it, Qiu Ruolin raised the knife and lowered it. The sharp dagger pierced Guihu's neck. Guihu, who was unconscious, did not feel any pain at all.

It can be seen that its nerves have been tortured by ice cubes and have lost all feeling.

For a while, Qiu Ruolin meditated and concentrated.

Qiu Ren said that as long as he uses the method of cultivating soul power to guide the soul ring floating in the air into the body, and then assimilates it for a period of time, it can be absorbed.

The century-old yellow soul ring produced by the ghost tiger seemed to sense Qiu Ruolin's guidance, slowly floated to his head, and then fell down.

Suddenly, the yellow soul ring became restless, resisting Qiu Ruolin's absorption.

According to Qiu Ren, the ghost tiger killed had at least 600 years of cultivation. To absorb the first ring of 600 years requires good physical fitness and mental strength.

In terms of mental power, Qiu Ren is not worried, because Qiu Ruolin can defeat the shadow martial spirit, which means that his mental power is very huge.

As for physical strength, he was able to hold an adult's forging hammer at the age of six and swing the hammer 64 times in a row without breathing.

With such natural power, Qiu Ren was not too worried about Qiu Ruolin's physical strength.

only....

The restlessness of the yellow soul ring seemed to be continuing, which made Qiu Ren look worried and break out in a cold sweat.

After a long time, the restless yellow soul ring began to stabilize, rhythmically moving up and down Qiu Ruolin's body.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Ren's tense face relaxed a lot.

"The absorption is complete..." Qiu Ruolin closed his eyes tightly and felt the changes in his body with his heart, "My soul power has increased by two levels."

The originally scattered soul power that flowed with the blood became orderly, and the flow of soul power became more stable and thicker.

"The physical strength has also been greatly enhanced, especially the speed, attack power, reflexes, and insight... These abilities are like transformation after being amplified by the soul ring. There is such a huge gap from before...".

Qiu Ruolin tentatively called on his soul power, and the shadow martial soul possessed him, and his whole body was wrapped in black airflow.

His five senses became more sensitive and his thoughts became more active. It seemed that as long as he calmed down, he could clearly see the strange movements around him without opening his eyes.

Immediately, Qiu Ruolin slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

A pair of eyes that exuded a light red light seemed to become sharper. His vision was clearer than before, and his field of vision expanded.

"This is the agility and attack type soul master..." With a secret sigh, Qiu Ruolin stood up and tentatively clenched his fists.

He casually took out the black pistol from the pocket on his waist and focused his eyes on a leaf dozens of meters away in front of him.

The transmitter cocked, and a silver bullet burst out from the muzzle.

Due to the silencer function, there is no sound when the bullet comes out of the gun.

Until the flying bullet accurately hit a leaf hanging on the branch.

With a whoosh, the leaves were knocked down by the sudden and terrifying force.

Qiu Ruolin didn't make any preparation for this shot. He fired it before taking aim. It was like a bullet fired based on feeling. It was very casual but extremely accurate.

"Reaction, insight, and action speed..." Qiu Ruolin had already felt the amplifying effect brought by the first soul ring, and murmured in surprise, "After these abilities are improved, I don't even need to aim too much. With just a few movements, you can achieve accurate sniper shooting!"

The moment the bullet came out of the chamber, Qiu Ren felt a chill running down his spine. He stared at the strange weapon in Qiu Ruolin's hand, his expression a bit solemn.

"Son, is this the weird weapon that those blacksmiths blew up?" Qiu Ren walked up to Qiu Ruolin and asked with some interest.

Qiu Ruolin nodded, "I call it a pistol. Within 50 meters, opponents below the Soul Emperor level can be killed with one shot as long as conditions permit!".

"This..." Qiu Ren was shocked, and then advised, "In the future, this kind of weapon must not be displayed in front of those blacksmiths. If the Tiandou royal family knows the existence of this weird weapon, it will definitely cause trouble!" .

Qiu Ruolin put the pistol back into the pocket on his waist, "Aren't they all from the Han family?"

"They may or may not be Han family members!" Qiu Ren was particularly serious. "In the face of interests, nothing is absolute!".

Hearing this, Qiu Ruolin felt that it was reasonable and that his heart was indeed too big.

The Han family is the main source of weapons for the Tiandou Empire. If the royal family of the Tiandou Empire knew that the Han family had such weird and terrifying weapons, they would inevitably get burned.

Seeing that his son already understood what he meant, Qiu Ren didn't blame him too much.

"Quickly show me your number one soul skill!" Qiu Ren said with a smile.

Qiu Ruolin nodded and then summoned his martial spirit.

The shadow martial spirit suddenly appeared behind him, baring its teeth and claws.

Those cold red eyes stared directly at Qiu Ren, and the black shadow exuded a strange aura.

It seemed as if he would escape from Qiu Ruolin's control with just a thought and go wild.

A 600-year-old yellow soul ring escaped from the sky and landed on the soles of Qiu Ruolin's feet.

"My first soul skill is called Transformation." Qiu Ruolin raised a smile on his lips. He was very satisfied with his first soul skill.

"Shadow?" Qiu Ren asked curiously, "Isn't it the shadow clone of Ghost Tiger?".

"Dad, as you said, the shadow martial soul without attributes has infinite possibilities. After absorbing the ghost tiger's soul ring, I not only have the ability to become a shadow clone, but I can also turn into a shadow!".

The black shadow behind Qiu Ruolin turned into a ball of black energy, which quietly seeped into his body. The black energy continued to linger around him, and his clear pupils emitted a faint red light.

"Becoming a shadow means that I will have the characteristics of a shadow, and I can escape into the surface, or freely enter and exit through gaps.".

After saying that, Wang Lin thought in his mind, "The first soul skill is to transform into a shadow."

The yellow soul ring spinning rapidly on the soles of his feet turned into stars and dissipated. Qiu Ruolin's body also turned black, and then escaped into the ground, forming a shadow.

All Qiu Ren could see were the shadows swimming on the ground, not Qiu Ruolin himself.

"The second soul skill, Ice Mark!" With a low voice, Qiu Ren used the control soul skill against a black shadow as big as a human head that escaped to the surface.

I saw that the place where the black shadow was was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the black shadow under the thick ice was still fine.

The black shadow began to move, leaving the thick ice on the ground and swimming towards a big tree.

What's interesting is that the black shadow transformed by Qiu Ruolin actually climbed up the tree branch and then transformed back into Qiu Ruolin himself.

"After my first soul skill is activated, I am the shadow. If you step on your own shadow, do you think the shadow will feel it?" Qiu Ruolin said with a smile while standing on the tree.

Qiu Ren snorted coldly, "Don't be complacent, you brat. There is no such perfect soul skill in the world. Your soul skill must have a fatal weakness!".

After listening, Qiu Ruolin's smile gradually solidified. He had been obsessed with forging before, but he didn't realize that his father was such a careful soul master.

"There is indeed a fatal weakness." Qiu Ruolin jumped down from the tree and answered honestly, "I became a shadow and have the characteristics of the shadow. Naturally, I also have the weakness of the shadow!".

"Shadows are most afraid of light!" Qiu Ren said with certainty.

"No." Qiu Ruolin retorted, "It's darkness!".

"Where the light shines, it's not that the shadow disappears, but that it moves. The shadow is most afraid of darkness! In the dark night, without a trace of light, the shadow will disappear without a trace."

"That is to say, in the darkness without light, I cannot use the form of shadow!" After saying that, Qiu Ruolin smiled again, "But there is another way to use my first soul skill.".

"Shadow clone. It is Guihu's innate skill. The transformation into shadow just now is just the derivative effect of shadow martial spirit on soul skill.".

"The shadow clone is the soul skill given by the Ghost Tiger Soul Ring!".

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Ruolin's body seemed to flash.

Qiu Ren just blinked slightly, and Qiu Ruolin in his field of vision actually changed into two.

"Unfortunately, my shadow clone can only transform from one to two at present. I cannot create multiple shadow clones. My shadow clone is not a virtual shadow. The information it obtains can be shared with me and it can also attack. !".

"So your first soul skill, under the influence of the non-attribute shadow martial soul, has more possibilities?" Qiu Ren crossed his arms with a smile on his face.

It was also the first time for him to see a shadow spirit holder without attributes obtain a soul ring. Qiu Ren was very interested in the shadow spirit without attributes.

Qiu Ruolin said kindly, "Dad, although this shadow martial spirit without attributes is not the best, its specialness is far better than the best!".

"I can feel my body light now. After turning into a shadow, I can simply ignore any terrain..." Qiu Ruolin clenched his fists excitedly, "And it seems that the shadow clone created can be further developed!".

With the shadow martial soul and the first soul ring, he could not wait to increase his soul power quickly and continue to obtain the second soul ring.

The journey to the Star Forest is over.

Qiu Ren and his son did not return directly to Hanjiabao.

On the way back to Hanjiabao, the father and son came to a city.

This city is a city with extremely rich resources, whether it is the wood needed for construction, or the rare stone mines needed for forging, there are almost all of them here.

It is a raw material export city second only to Geng Xincheng.

Qiu Ruolin came here for a very clear purpose, which was to purchase rare metals needed to make modern weapons.

He wanted to build a modern weapon more powerful than a pistol.

Having become a sensitive attack soul master, he planned to make a sniper rifle for long-range sniping, as well as a silencer.

"AWM sniper rifle", this is the goal of his production this time.
