Chapter 72 Blacksmith Positioning
"For more than [-]% of the soul masters on the Douluo Continent, a defensive tool is always more popular than a weapon!"

When he said this, Ling Yi's brows and eyes were full of strong confidence.

When he heard Ling Yi's categorical judgment, Lou Gao couldn't help but turn serious. His round figure, which was originally a bit funny and couldn't get up, suddenly became lighter. He sat up and looked straight in the eyes. Looking at Ling Yi sitting on the ground in front of him.

Ling Yi was smiling, and the old god was looking at the sharp eyes of the building, unhurried, and his tone was convincing:

"Senior Brother Lou Gao, you should know the status of a soul master in the Douluo Continent.

Each of us, after awakening the martial spirit at the age of six, will have a martial spirit that is unique to us, either a beast martial spirit or a weapon martial spirit! "

"For the vast majority of soul masters, Wuhun is the best and most suitable weapon for them!"

"Although some weapon souls may not be as good as the hundred-forged weapons made by blacksmiths or even high-level blacksmiths at the beginning, as the strength of the soul master increases and the blessing of the soul ring, even the most ordinary wooden stick can be used with Fine iron and steel rods are as good as each other!"

"The characteristics of Wuhun, such as its growth, self-healing, storage in the body, etc., are beyond the reach of ordinary blacksmith-crafted weapons—"

Hearing Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao's complexion flickered, and a feeling of depression, resentment, and unwillingness was brewing in his heart, for himself, for his master, and for the industry of blacksmithing.

You must know that his master Tiefutu, the only master craftsman in the world, still had to say some flattering words to a boy from the Tang family who did not yet know his name against his heart.

Outside "Gengxin City", in [Star Luo Empire], anywhere in the Douluo Continent, the courtesy Lou Gao received was not because he was the master blacksmith, nor because he was the direct disciple of the master craftsman Tie Futu , just because he Lou Gao is a soul king!
However, Lou Gao himself knew that if he really ended up fighting, as a soul king, he would only be able to beat some ordinary soul sects. Will be brought down by the opponent.

Every time, when Lou Gao showed his own strength, he only needed to reveal the two yellow, two purple and one black luxurious soul ring configurations, and basically there would be no real action in the future.

After all, he is just a blacksmith who travels across the continent, looking for his own path to becoming a master craftsman, and he is not a combat soul master who goes around looking for people to learn how to fight.

Blacksmiths, on the Douluo Continent, are really not valued very much.

At least, in front of the soul master, it is indeed so!
Lou Gao has always understood this in his heart, so he really wants to improve the blacksmith's status and hope that the blacksmith will be recognized by the world.

He truly loves the profession of blacksmith, and also truly loves forging various tools. Watching the perfect works appear in his hands, the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment is the spirit of martial arts. Combat and soul power improvement cannot give him.

Having been together for more than half a year, Lou Gao knew what kind of genius this boy in front of him, who was only two months away from turning fourteen, was.

He often looks at things sharply and can sum up a series of rules of things anytime and anywhere, and find routes and directions that are beneficial to him/herself.

It can be said that as long as Ling Yi is given a goal, and given him a starting foundation and enough time, this young man will definitely be able to reach that goal!
But now, listening to Ling Yi's words, Lou Gao found that the young man in front of him seemed to be talking about the relationship between blacksmiths and soul masters, and what the blacksmith means to soul masters?

He Lou Gao can become a master blacksmith at the age of 40, and in the future he will be recognized by Contra Titan himself as the king of master craftsmen. In his round head that looks a little funny, there is also a good thing that surpasses ordinary people's sensitive thinking and extraordinary wisdom. right~
"Are you saying that soul masters often use their own martial souls as weapons, and their demand for foreign objects such as weapons is usually not very great, while defensive armors and other items will be more popular?"

As Lou Gao said, his eyes gradually glowed with light.

Hearing this, Ling Yi smiled with a smile on his lips, nodded and continued: "Since I entered the [Greenleaf Junior Soul Master Academy] in Muzhi City at the age of seven, I have been under the master's tutelage and formally studied forging. Since then, I have Pay close attention to every soul master who comes to customize weapons and equipment, and ask my teachers and classmates in the academy, if they were allowed to choose, what kind of equipment they would like to have as a tool for using martial arts. Auxiliary aids——”

"Seven years old..." Lou Gao blinked and his expression became weird.

Not paying attention to the change in Lou Gao's expression, Ling Yi continued to speak calmly: "When I was ten years old, I obtained my first soul ring. After successfully becoming a soul master, I applied to graduate early and found a master. I introduced Blacksmith Fu Shan, who was serving in the principality’s military, and then took Blacksmith Fu Shan’s letter of recommendation to come to the Cold Wind Camp and stayed there for three years…”

"In the past three years, I have observed more than 2 people in the Cold Wind Camp, from soldiers, corps commanders, chiefs... to captains, school lieutenants, and even the camp's managers, Marquis Cedar and General Song Yao!"

"Overall, among these 2 people, the ratio of beast souls to weapon souls is 4.5:5.5, and those with soul power are less than one-tenth.

Leaving aside those without soul power, among the nearly 2000 people with soul power, the demand for weapons and weapons-type instruments by beast soul masters is relatively greater than that of weapon soul masters, but it is not too much.

Because their spirit rings and spirit skills often need to be displayed by themselves when their spirits are possessed, they themselves are powerful weapons! "

"The soul masters of the Wuhun class are even more obvious. Their first choice of weapon in battle is definitely their own Wuhun, not the weapons forged by our blacksmiths.

Just like Colonel Jiang Yuan, don't look at his ability to use a long spear better than many great spirit masters with spear spirits, and even not weaker than those few spear spirit masters, but when fighting, he is still a master. Use your own "Iron Smelting Gauntlet" martial soul.

Only the "Iron-Made Gauntlet" martial spirit can bring out the strongest strength of Colonel Jiang Yuan! "

"so……"

Hearing this, Lou Gao's round face showed a mixture of joy and sadness, and he continued with a somewhat hoarse voice: "So, for soul masters, our blacksmith's position should be auxiliary, focusing on defensive equipment. , to make up for some shortcomings when the soul masters use martial souls?"

"That's right!" Ling Yi nodded, and said seriously: "Blacksmith is not a fighting profession, and we are not suitable to compete with those soul masters who specialize in fighting who are better at fighting.

We can think of ourselves as an auxiliary soul master, just like a healing soul master or a food soul master, a defensive soul master who works behind the scenes without having to play, and a guest appearance as an attack enhancement amplification soul master... …”

　Sorry for being late.

　　Take a nap first, finish work in the afternoon, and continue coding tomorrow at night~
