"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
With three consecutive hammer strikes, a brilliant blue light shot straight into the sky.
The Coldheart Iron, which had already undergone the Hundred Refinements purification, immediately entered the Thousand Refinements with Spirit state after three hammer strikes.
At that moment, Shui Bing'er seemed to hear the Coldheart Iron on the forging table letting out a joyful cry. The blue radiance it emitted surged like a swimming dragon, rising three feet high and lingering for a long time.
However, Mu Yang did not stop there. Without waiting for the Thousand Refinements spirit light to dissipate, the Heavy Silver Twin Hammers in his hands continued their relentless strikes.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a quarter of an hour had gone by.
"Bing'er~"
At that moment, Mu Yang, who was engrossed in forging, called out to Shui Bing'er without turning his head.
Immediately, Shui Bing'er's left fingertip shimmered with an ice-blue glow. She condensed her soul power into a needle and pricked the center of her right palm.
In an instant, crimson blood trickled out. With a slight exertion of force, the droplets floated onto the Coldheart Iron ingot undergoing the Spirit Refinement process on the forging table.
As Mu Yang's hammer strikes continued and her blood continuously fused into the metal, Shui Bing'er had the illusion that a new life was being nurtured under Mu Yang's hammer blows.
"Boom—!"
A few minutes later, with another hammer strike, an ice-blue light over six feet tall suddenly burst skyward, instantly dyeing the entire forging room in a frosty blue hue.
Spirit Refinement Creation, complete!
At that moment, Shui Bing'er felt as if the Coldheart Iron on the forging table had become a separate life form—a part of her external being.
It was as if… as if she and Mu Yang had nurtured a child together.
Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er's face rapidly heated up, her cheeks visibly flushing red.
With the Spirit Refinement completed, Mu Yang set down his Heavy Silver Hammers, took out a few sheets of design paper from his soul tool storage bracelet, turned to Shui Bing'er, and said, "Bing'er, take a look at these designs—uh… why is your face so red?"
"N-No reason~" Shui Bing'er shyly shook her head.
"Really? Bing'er, are you thinking of something naughty?"
Mu Yang teased her, gently pinching her flushed cheeks.
Hearing this, Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes and swatted away Mu Yang's mischievous hand.
"Alright, alright. With such a handsome boyfriend like me, it's normal for Bing'er to have naughty thoughts. I understand.
Ahem, back to business. The special soul tool I'm going to craft is armor-type. Bing'er, choose one of these designs."
Seeing the embarrassed and frustrated girl about to pounce on him and bite, Mu Yang quickly stopped teasing her and got back to the topic.
"Armor-type soul tool?"
Shui Bing'er raised an eyebrow and took the design papers from Mu Yang's hand.
The designs depicted various styles of blue, elegant full-body armor. The differences between them were subtle, mainly in details and patterns on the armor.
After letting Shui Bing'er choose her preferred battle armor style and giving her an Orange Jade Blood Ginseng to aid in recovery, Mu Yang started forging the second piece of Coldheart Iron.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The rhythmic sound of forging once again echoed through the forging room.
Under the mighty 'Miracle Force Hammer Technique,' twenty minutes later, with another burst of ice-blue radiance, the second piece of Coldheart Iron successfully underwent Spirit Refinement.
"Mu Yang, I heard from Sister that you're crafting armor-type soul tools. They look so beautiful—I want one too!"
Just then, Shui Yue'er, who had been watching for quite a while, approached Mu Yang, hugging his arm and acting spoiled.
Although Shui Yue'er didn't fully understand how powerful this "armor-type soul tool" would be, the sheer elegance and aesthetics of the designs had already captivated her.
She was a sixteen-year-old genius girl—who wouldn't want to be a stunning and valiant warrior?
"Do you really want one?"
Without a trace, Mu Yang withdrew his arm and glanced at her.
This little sister-in-law was getting bolder.
"Mm-hmm!"
Shui Yue'er quickly nodded.
"What did you just call me?"
"Uh… brother-in-law, Yue'er's dear brother-in-law," Shui Yue'er hesitated for a moment, glanced at her older sister, and reluctantly changed her address.
Mu Yang nodded slightly, then gave her a warning look. "As long as you know I'm your brother-in-law."
At first, he did have thoughts of winning over both sisters—after all, his father-in-law had set a great example for him.
But ever since his Fire Shadow martial soul evolved into the Iceflame Saint Shadow martial soul, granting him a martial soul fusion skill with Shui Bing'er, Mu Yang gradually abandoned that idea.
Perhaps the martial soul fusion skill had a special influence, or maybe he wasn't the type to be unfaithful. Mu Yang felt that having one true love in his life was already enough.
However, he wasn't the only one whose thoughts had changed compared to the beginning—Shui Yue'er had changed as well.
The difference was that while Mu Yang dismissed any thoughts about his sister-in-law, Shui Yue'er, on the other hand, started developing bold ideas about him. And as time passed, these feelings only grew stronger and more deeply rooted.
It was precisely because Mu Yang noticed this tendency in Shui Yue'er that he reminded and warned her, hoping to keep her from falling too deep. He didn't want her to end up like Hu Liena and Qian Renxue in the original work, becoming an incurable lovestruck fool.
Unfortunately, his warning was destined to be in vain.
After all, this was Douluo Continent, also known as "Romance Continent," where love-driven decisions often arose inexplicably, without the need for prior experience.
In Shui Yue'er's eyes, a young girl in her prime should bravely pursue her love!
Mu Yang had the looks, the strength, and they were of similar age—wasn't he the perfect husband?
As for the fact that he was her brother-in-law?
It didn't matter. Didn't her father also marry both her aunt and mother? Two sisters serving the same husband—wouldn't that make for a legendary story of "Three Douluos in One Family"?
Moreover…
'Yue'er owes everything to the Deffodil Jade Flesh Bone from back then.'
Shui Yue'er thought to herself.
She was well aware of her own talent. If not for the Deffodil Jade Flesh Bone Mu Yang had given her, she would probably still be below rank 40 in soul power. How could she have reached rank 55 and become a Soul King at just sixteen years old?
'Such immense kindness, Yue'er has no way to repay it—so I shall devote myself to him!'
'Sister, you'll forgive me, right? From now on, Yue'er will make your bed, serve you tea, do laundry, cook, and even massage your shoulders and legs…'
Mu Yang had no idea what Shui Yue'er was thinking. At this moment, he was focused on selecting materials for her battle armor.
Shining Jade Dolphin, her martial soul, was water-attributed. While water and ice were somewhat related, they were not the same elemental attribute, making Coldheart Iron unsuitable for Shui Yue'er.
The rare metals he had were all purchased from the Seven Treasures Merchant Association in Sky Water City. He wasn't sure if water-attributed rare metals didn't exist in the world or if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect simply didn't sell them, but either way, he had none in his possession.
The closest metal he had that was somewhat related to water was Heavy Silver. It had excellent soul power conductivity, making it a great material for forging battle armor.
However, Heavy Silver was naturally dense, and after Spirit Refinement, it would become even heavier. Even if he used the minimal amount of material possible, a set of Spirit-Refined Heavy Silver armor would still weigh several hundred pounds. That would be quite a burden for Shui Yue'er, who hadn't trained in body-strengthening techniques.
After careful consideration, Mu Yang finally set his sights on a rare deep-blue metal.
Blue Copper—one of the rare metals, known for its exceptional soul power conductivity and amplification properties. Moreover, its density was relatively low, making it a far better choice for Shui Yue'er than Heavy Silver.
