This is his current progress.
Of course, he also needed to forge the spirit alloy required for the battle armor.
It's not jade or silver, but various other alloys imbued with spiritual energy.
Xu Yuan is a master craftsman, but that doesn't mean he can't forge other spirit alloys.
He simply failed to forge the other spiritual metals into a divine alloy.
It can be said that, with Zhenhua's support, he has tried all the spiritual metal fusion financial forgings.
They all have experience.
With the addition of the nurturing method of the virtual and real world furnace, it is not difficult for him to forge a spirit alloy with a fusion degree of over 80%.
After practicing for a few days, he was able to occasionally achieve a fusion rate of 90% in a single forging attempt.
In recent days, he has successively completed the forging of various spirit alloys such as gold, stone, and raw silver with a fusion degree of 90%.
He also used these forged works to make battle armor for his teammates.
After finishing crafting the right thigh armor for Wu Siduo, Xu Yuan sat cross-legged in meditation, summarizing his recent gains.
Each creation should bring new insights.
If there's no spark, then you've hit a bottleneck.
Inside the dream space.
"Yao Yao, help me recreate the forging process of this piece of cloud iron."
Xu Yuan shouted.
"Hmph~ (Here I come~)"
Yao Yao flew over and darted to Xu Yuan in a flash.
The ghostly body materialized into a small hand, which tapped in the air.
A phantom image appeared, which was the entire process of Xu Yuan's forging just now.
"Here, here, here, do you see it?"
Xu Yuan pointed to each step in the forging process and asked Yao Yao to write them down.
"These are the nodes with the highest degree of overlap in the direction of nurturing during the Furnace Method of Reality and Illusion, which also means that the dream space of these nodes has the highest degree of compatibility with the outside world."
Xu Yuan explained things to Yao Yao little by little so that it could understand, and then it modified the dream space according to Xu Yuan's requirements.
There are so many cultivation projects now that Xu Yuan is going to assign the work to them one by one.
How wonderful it would be if every soul could be like Zetsu, silently comprehending the art of spearmanship and maintaining an extremely rapid pace of progress.
Xu Yuan was lost in thought.
Unfortunately, although Yao Yao has a high talent for mental strength and the Dream Space is her inherited soul skill, her talent for modifying and developing this soul skill is too poor.
Huanxing, despite being among the most talented of the Phantom Beasts, still struggled to keep up with the numerous tasks assigned by Xu Yuan. It took him so long to become familiar with the combination and application of the Five Elements Power, and it's unclear when he will achieve any results with his self-created Soul Skills such as the Five Elements Divine Light Shield.
As for Paper Soul Mountain and River, its understanding of the Seven Forbidden Techniques is still far, far, far lacking.
"Sigh, he's a born gunslinger. His talent in marksmanship is unmatched by Yao Yao and the others in their respective fields."
Xu Yuan sighed.
Seeing this, Yao Yao silently put in more effort.

Xu Yuan was not in a hurry either.
He continues to compete and train at his normal pace.
Five days passed in total.
Xu Yuan closed his eyes and meditated in his room.
Makino landed on the balcony.
Sensing the movement, Xu Yuan opened his eyes.
"teacher?"
"Well, I've finally stabilized my soul power," Mu Ye said.
His soul power broke through one after another, reaching level ninety-seven. To avoid trouble, he left the Star Luo City area and spent a week in seclusion, finally stabilizing his power.
Upon reaching level 97, he still had a chance to continue his breakthrough. With the momentum of the breakthrough and his abundant blood and qi, he could have stabilized the state of his own martial soul and used it as an opportunity to expand his martial soul, raising his soul power to level 98.
But in the end, he held back.
Level 97 is enough for now. Let's stabilize our position first, and then break through to level 98 within a year.
Since you'll still be stuck with the Soul Core after breaking through level 98 anyway, you might as well start preparing for the third Soul Core before breaking through level 98.
"I'm still missing one more spiritual soul core," Mu Ye said.
In the current continent, the strong all condense their first soul core before level 70. Some people with extremely outstanding talents may condense their soul core when they are Soul Kings. Yun Ming condensed his first soul core when he was a Soul King.
After condensing the first soul core, condense the second soul core before breaking through level 90. This way, you can reach the strongest level in the Title Douluo stage, and there will be fewer bottlenecks in cultivation. You can almost quickly reach level 98.
After level 98, the bottleneck to break through level 99 is the condensation of the third soul core.
This is actually imitating the path Huo Yuhao took back then.
In terms of opportunities, naturally not many people can reach Huo Yuhao's level, and it is even difficult to catch up with one-tenth of his opportunities. However, now with the Battle Armor, the threshold for Soul Masters to condense Soul Cores has been further lowered.
But this is still extremely difficult.
The condensation of the third soul core is even more difficult. In fact, the difficulty of condensing it is no simpler than that of condensing the second soul core ten thousand years ago. On the contrary, it is more difficult.
The existence of the Battle Armor did make the condensation of the Soul Core easier, but it couldn't make the condensation of the third Soul Core easier than the condensation of the second Soul Core back then. Overall, the bottleneck of breaking through the Limit Douluo level was actually higher, but there are now more level 98 Super Douluo on the continent.
Strong individuals generally use three soul cores to complete the cultivation of level 99 soul power. The method of condensing soul cores adopted by many is also in line with the path taken by Huo Yuhao back then, condensing them with three different abilities as the core.
However, there are only a few truly powerful individuals who can master so many techniques. Most of them specialize in one area, so when it comes to condensing the soul core, they all use a single ability.
However, there is a bias.
For example, the soul core condensed in the lower dantian is more focused on its integration with the body and is mixed with the power of qi and blood; the soul core in the middle dantian is pure soul power; and the soul core condensed in the upper dantian, which is the sea of spirit, is mainly spiritual power with soul power as a secondary component.
Among them, the soul core of the Sea of Spirit is the most difficult for most soul masters to condense, so it is often the last one to condense.
The three powers alone are insufficient to condense a soul core, so soul power is used as a medium.
There is no rule that only essence, energy, and spirit can be condensed into pure soul cores.
Even Huo Yuhao initially condensed two soul power cores, and then refined them when he created the third soul core, purifying the three soul cores with the three attributes of mental space and ice as the core.
Moreover, his final cultivation achievements were not passed down.
The methods Huo Yuhao has developed for condensing his three soul cores are merely the prototypes he deduced during his time at Shrek Academy before his final seclusion. These prototypes were left among the three factions of Shrek Academy, Tang Sect, and Spirit Pagoda in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Once a method has been deduced, it's reasonable to leave behind the results before trying it out or taking risks.
"Teacher, how do you plan to condense your third soul core?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.
He did not understand some of the theories about soul core condensation.
He has never understood it.
After all, it's easy to understand that two soul cores complement each other in terms of yin and yang, but it's hard to accept that three soul cores complement each other in terms of yin and yang.
"Currently, there are two main ways of cohesion: one is dual complementarity, and the other is triple resonance." As a teacher, Mu Ye began to explain these profound concepts to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan is now close to the point of condensing his soul core, so it's time to explain the relevant knowledge about soul cores to him.
"The two are not far apart in terms of final achievements, and their strengths are almost equal," Makino said.
He first told Xu Yuan the final conclusion.
"Not much difference?" Xu Yuan looked at Mu Ye with some doubt.
"The difference is indeed not that big. To put it another way, if we Soul Masters have four Dantians and can condense four Soul Cores, then choosing four resonant points will be the most powerful path. For Soul Beasts that can only condense Soul Cores in two locations, the Yin-Yang complementary method is the most powerful."
Three soul cores, on the contrary, represent a critical point.
Because the effect of resonance is so terrifying—a fact we only understood after the development of soul-guided technology and our grasp of the fundamental laws of matter—the more resonances there are, the closer their frequencies are to a uniformity, and the greater the gain produced by the resonance.
Makino then gave an example to illustrate that triple resonance is no weaker than double complementarity.
"The Cloud Pavilion Master must have chosen the method of the three-in-one resonance to assist him in completing the cultivation of essence, energy and spirit."
Xu Yuan's suspicious gaze had disappeared, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
Resonance.
With more resonances, the amplification ratio changes dramatically!
The resonance of two soul cores in the same position may only result in one plus one equaling three, but the resonance of three soul cores in the same position can reach nine or even more!
Yin and Yang complement each other. One plus one may bring about a qualitative change, but adding another one will eliminate that qualitative change.
Such a disparity resulted in the three soul cores choosing the triple resonance and dual complementarity approach, ultimately leading to a situation where their strengths were roughly equal.
"The difference between the two is that resonance in the same position is very smooth. As long as one's talent is sufficient, one can complete the condensation relatively safely and steadily. However, yin-yang complementarity is very dangerous. There are too many factors to consider for the second and third soul cores. Without strong physical support, it is almost impossible to complete."
