Douluo: AFK to Become a God

After leaving the shop, Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Chu, is that crystal some kind of valuable treasure?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Chu Chengzhou looked at Xiao Wu in surprise.

"That crystal must be something valuable, otherwise why would you go around in such a big circle earlier?"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes.

"Not bad, not bad, my Xiao Wu is getting smarter!"

"That crystal is indeed a treasure. It contains a special metal. After infusing soul power, it has an extremely strong piercing ability. If mixed with other metals to make arrowheads, it should be able to break through soul power defenses."

Chu Chengzhou nodded in approval, looking as if he were proud of his "smart wife."

Unlike ordinary soul masters, he was a summoner, and all his power was reflected in his ability to summon spirits.

With this in mind, Chu Chengzhou naturally wanted to improve his own strength. While he might not become stronger than his summoned spirits, at least he didn't want to hold them back.

Among weapons like knives, guns, swords, hammers, and staffs, he chose the bow and arrow.

His defensive summoned spirits could act as tanks in the front, strong offensive ones as the main attackers, and agile ones as assassins. Healing and support spirits would stay in the back.

In short, as long as his soul rings were properly matched, creating a team of summoned spirits with no obvious weaknesses wouldn't be difficult.

With that, the most suitable role for him was a ranged ADC.

While ensuring output, he would also have great protection for his own safety.

However, after leveling up his archery skills, he faced a challenge.

That was, on the continent, powerful fighters used their soul weapons in battle and rarely relied on external weapons. Even if they had money, they couldn't buy high-quality bows.

If he couldn't buy them, he'd have to make them himself.

Moreover, Chu Chengzhou knew that blacksmiths, or forge masters, held a status no lower than soul masters in the later stages of Douluo Continent.

Even during the era when soul armor was flourishing, top experts were all highly skilled blacksmiths.

When he had already advanced to a second-ring Great Soul Master in the past life, he spent half a day at a blacksmith's shop in the city and gained the gray-level blacksmith skill.

After 10 days of leveling up, his blacksmithing skill reached the white-level, which was at the level of a hundred forges.

According to the classification of forging, white-level forging was already at the hundred-forge level.

Yellow and purple-level forging corresponded to the thousand-forge level.

This meant that Chu Chengzhou, as of now, was capable of forging a thousand-forge metal, making him the continent's top blacksmith!

When it came to blacksmithing, even the famous Tang Hao, one of the three greatest blacksmiths in the world, couldn't compare to him.

Chu Chengzhou: Tang Hao? What is he even?

Of course, this was only in terms of blacksmithing. Otherwise, his small frame wouldn't be able to withstand Tang Hao's big hammer.

Although making a soul tool wasn't just about materials and required a soul tool formation, Chu Chengzhou wasn't interested in becoming a soul tool master. He preferred to focus on blacksmithing and the power of his own archery.

With higher-level forged metals, even without the soul tool formation, he could still unleash the power of archery.

The most important thing was that once his forging skill reached the black-level, he would most likely step into the realm of spirit forging.

Spirit-forged metals could be absorbed by soul masters, and once he had a set of spirit-forged armor, he wouldn't have to worry about Tang San's hidden weapons anymore.

In the original story, Tang Sect's top hidden weapon, the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, was able to kill a large number of 70+ level experts from the Spirit Hall during the Battle of Jialing Pass. The main reason for this was that these Spirit Hall experts didn't have strong enough armor.

If he could wear a set of spirit-forged armor, Tang Sect's hidden weapons wouldn't be able to pierce through.

It was like using poor-quality bullets against steel plates; it was impossible for them to go through.

After wandering around for over two hours, when Chu Chengzhou's hands were full of bags, Xiao Wu finally lost the desire to continue shopping.

Well, it wasn't that she lost the desire, but rather she had no more space to carry anything.

Looking at the full bags in her hands, Chu Chengzhou realized he needed to earn money to buy a bigger storage soul tool.

The internal space of his current storage jade stone was only one foot long, wide, and high, so he couldn't fit much.

Hmm... if the storage soul tool was bigger, and he had more space for his purchases, would they end up shopping until all the shops on Soto City's main street closed for the night?

Thinking about this, Chu Chengzhou couldn't help but shiver. That would be terrifying!

In the Rose Hotel, in the suite's living room, Chu Chengzhou took out the large crystal.

"Xiao Chu, how did this crystal grow metal inside?" Xiao Wu asked curiously, looking at the murky crystal.
