Gradually, Lan Xuanyu felt an emotion that came from the metal itself. It was clearly joyful and exciting!
This was too interesting. This metal actually responded to Uncle Le’s forging and called out for him to continue forging. Its excitement grew stronger along with the forging process.
“Ding!”
Mr Le retracted his hammers and smiled. “Wake up!”
Immediately, as if responding to his words, that piece of metal seemed to have awakened. It actually transformed into a dragon and soared into the sky. It has turned into a golden dragon and flew towards Mr Le with excitement and joy. It circled around his body for a total of three rounds before it returned to the forging counter and became a piece of metal that was smaller than before.
Mr Le smiled and tapped the metal gently with the forging hammer in his hand.
All of a sudden, the metal that had turned into a faint gold color swept up and naturally merged into the forging hammers. The pair of forging hammers became bigger than before and took on a faint gold color.
“I need two drops of your blood.” Mr Le smiled at Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu quickly pierced his finger and two drops of blood dripped onto it.
Immediately, the two hammers let out a buzzing sound and Lan Xuanyu felt as though he was connected with them. His mind went blank for a moment and in the next moment, he took the initiative to grab the pair of hammers.
A wonderful feeling appeared. He felt that when his blood flowed, it would naturally flow into these two forging hammers as though they had truly merged into his body. They could even become as light as a feather or as heavy as six hundred kilos with a single thought.
Soul Refinement, was this the profundity of Soul Refinement and Fuse Forging ?
“What you can bear and use right now is Soul Forged items at most. When you use it to forge normally, you will naturally feel the profundity of Soul Forging and Fuse Forging. It will not directly increase your forging ability, but it will strengthen your affinity with metal. You will improve faster during the forging process. This characteristic is the best among the forging hammers,” Mr Le said with a laugh.
“Thank you, Uncle Le.” This was a pair of Soul Forged hammers! How precious were they? Lan Xuanyu couldn’t wait to start using them.
Mr Le stayed in his dorm until midnight before leaving. Lan Xuanyu naturally wouldn’t miss this good opportunity and under Mr Le’s guidance, he began to try Fuse Forging.
It was truly difficult to forge alloys, and he didn’t succeed even once during the night. He wasn’t even close to success, but he could clearly sense the direction to follow, especially under the guidance of the pair of forging hammers. The forging hammers seemed to be able to amplify his senses and allow him to sense the characteristics of different metals more clearly, as well as their emotional fluctuations during the fusion. This allowed him to improve at a much faster rate during the forging process.
Lan Xuanyu only felt that it was a pity that they had to set off for the compulsory missions the day after tomorrow. Otherwise, he really wanted to continue forging until he achieved Fuse Forging.
In order to grasp the mysteries of Fuse Forging, Lan Xuanyu couldn’t bear to end the forging just like that. The next day, he didn’t practice his newly obtained abilities with Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Mengqin. He stayed in his room and forged for an entire day until Liu Feng and Qian Lei returned to the academy in the afternoon.
Although he didn’t succeed even once, he could already feel that he had gained a rudimentary understanding. If he could concentrate and try more, he estimated that he would have a chance of success after three months.
Lan Xuanyu’s goal for himself was to achieve Fuse Forging within a year and become proficient. This was because the time he could practice forging this year was limited, and he still had to complete missions with his partners!
It was truly a busy and fulfilling day.

The Federation’s Sky Fighter Division was the most mysterious department in the entire Douluo Federation. Only the Sky Fighters knew about it. It was different from the War God Temple, which was widely known as the Federation’s strongest combat power. The Sky Fighter Division’s composition was very complicated and was also under the Federation’s jurisdiction, but to a large extent, it was autonomous.
The Federation gave them resources and requested for the Sky Fighter Division to formulate a mission for the elites to complete. At many important times, the Sky Fighter Division was the one responsible for gathering elites from all over to contribute to the Federation.
Lan Xuanyu and his classmates’ understanding of the Sky Fighter Division was limited to a single name. They had just begun to come into contact with Sky Fighter missions and didn’t have to know much. They just needed to complete the mission.
An inconspicuous gray spacecraft quietly docked at Shrek Space Center. Early in the morning, Lan Xuanyu and his team arrived at the Space Center and waited to set off.
This was a special area, just like how the Tang Sect warship had its own special area. They had to go through three security checks before they could enter this area, especially their soul communication device’s registration for the Sky Fighter mission.
There was no doubt that this was an area that belonged solely to the Sky Fighter Division. To be able to own an exclusive area in the Shrek Space Center showed how strong this department was. One must know that other than Shrek Academy, only the Tang Sect had an exclusive area. There wasn’t even the Spirit Pagoda or the War God Temple.
While waiting to enter the spacecraft, Lan Xuanyu realized that they weren’t the only ones in the waiting area. There were also other people there.
Most of them were young, slightly older than them, and there were over 20 of them in total. These people were dressed differently, but when they saw the green uniforms on their bodies, they couldn’t help but point at them, but they didn’t get close.
‘These people should be Sky Fighters too, right?’ Lan Xuanyu thought to himself. And they were the same as them, Sky Fighters who were going on a mission on Dragon Source Planet.
They would only know the specific details of Dragon Source Planet after boarding the spacecraft. They were not in a rush.
Right at this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in a white suit walked in. She wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and said in a low voice, “Prepare to depart for the spacecraft heading to Dragon Source Planet. Please board the spacecraft by showing your mission.”
Lan Xuanyu and the rest quickly stood up and went through another security scan before boarding the gray spacecraft.
The spacecraft wasn’t very big and was about a third of the size of a civilian spacecraft. It was spacious inside and every spot had a very wide space that allowed one to lie flat and even had a smaller area to move around. There was also a resting area with a table and sofa in each of the four spots.
This was much more comfortable than the civilian spaceships they had taken before.
Furthermore, this spacecraft didn’t have any different areas and it was the same for everyone.
As expected, those 20 odd strangers followed Lan Xuanyu and his team into the spacecraft. They were obviously Sky Fighters heading to Dragon Source Planet.
The moment they got on the ship, a staff member delivered the information. She was also dressed in a white suit and was in her twenties. She wasn’t old and her looks were above average. There were a total of four such staff members on the ship.
The middle-aged lady who guided them onto the spaceship was among them.
An electronic voice resounded, “All Sky Fighters, please take your seats and buckle your seat belts. The spacecraft is about to take off.”
The students of the Star War Experiment class naturally sat together in one area.
The spacecraft took off amidst low rumbles and tremors. It quickly increased its speed and passed through the atmosphere into space.
The first Sky Fighter mission for the Star War Experiment class officially began!
They quickly realized that this spacecraft was completely different from the civilian spacecrafts they had been on before. Its performance was simply too different. Its speed was comparable to a warship, and it was very stable. Even when passing through the atmosphere, there were no strong tremors.
