Lou Gao designed this weapon with extreme offensive power in mind.
At the same time, he also knew that spears could be thrown as ranged weapons.
Combining these characteristics, Lou Gao thought of using the Burst characteristic to add explosive power to the spear.
Initially, he only wanted to add Soul Guidance Metal with Burst characteristics to the end of the spear.
However, at Quan Yi's strong request, he directly used Burst Soul Guidance Metal to forge the entire spear shaft.
Doing so did indeed maximize the spear's attack power.
But it also made it very difficult to control.
Ordinary people who input Soul Power into it might be injured by the spear's explosion.
However, it now seems that for powerful Soul Masters, these problems are not a big deal at all.
Huo Wu placed the spears in her hands back on the weapon rack.
Then she turned her attention to the three shields.
The performance of the spears made them very interested in the shields as well.
Lou Gao noticed Huo Wu's gaze and considerately introduced, "This shield is called 'Devouring Flame'. You two can try it out."
Quan Yi and Huo Wu stepped forward and lifted the round shields, which were large enough to block their entire upper bodies.
The inside of the round shield had a handle for easy grip.
Quan Yi gripped the handle with his left hand and raised the shield in front of him.
However, as soon as he gripped the metal handle, he felt the icy touch that metal should have.
In terms of volume, the shield was larger than the spear, weighing about 20,000 kilograms.
However, the overall balance of the shield was very good.
Holding it, Quan Yi could smoothly use actions such as impact and chop. The shield fully considered Quan Yi's body type, and there was no sense of obstruction when wielding it.
Of course, as a shield, the most important thing is its defensive power.
Quan Yi raised the spear in his right hand and slashed the shield surface hard with the spear tip.
Sparks flashed, and the sharp spear that could instantly pierce Mystic Iron could not leave any marks on the shield surface.
In terms of defense, this shield is comparable to the defense of armor.
However, as a shield, it is thicker than armor, so its defense is stronger than armor.
On the other side, Huo Wu was also trying to pick up another shield.
Compared to the spear, this shield was more difficult for Huo Wu to handle.
Huo Wu used both hands and blushed before lifting it.
She knew that she could not swing it as freely as Quan Yi, so she focused more on the Soul Guidance characteristics of the shield.
She carefully input a small amount of Soul Power into it.
However, unlike the 'Burst' spear, this shield was like a cold sea, without any movement.
She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Is this also a shield forged with Soul Guidance Metal? Why doesn't it have any reaction to my Soul Power?"
Lou Gao smiled gently at Huo Wu and said, "Haha, Young Mistress, it's right that there's no reaction.
The Soul Guidance characteristics of 'Devouring Flame' are completely opposite to those of the 'Burst' spear.
If the spear is about explosion, then 'Devouring Flame' is about absorption.
Its characteristic is to absorb Fire-attribute energy.
As long as it does not reach its absorption limit, it can continuously absorb the surrounding Fire Element energy.
I once threw it into a furnace for three days and three nights, but I still haven't tested its absorption limit.
Therefore, I don't know its limit either."
"Master Lou, how do I remember that the absorption characteristic I forged back then didn't seem to reach this level?
The current absorption limit seems to be several times higher than before."
Quan Yi actually knew the characteristics of the shield the moment he touched it.
However, when he input the scorching Fire-attribute Soul Power in his body, he found that the Soul Power he input was like a drop of water into the sea, without causing any change in the metal.
However, this does not mean that the Soul Power disappeared. That Soul Power was stored inside the shield, and Quan Yi could extract it at any time if he wanted to.
From this, Quan Yi felt the horror of this shield.
Lou Gao chuckled and explained excitedly, "Young Master, this shield, like the 'Burst' spear of the Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor, has been added with the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's Dragon Horns powder.
However, unexpectedly, the strong conductivity of the Dragon Horns powder to flames greatly enhanced the absorption effect of the shield.
Moreover, when I was officially forging the armor, I had another major discovery.
The greatest effect of this Dragon Horns powder is actually that it can perfectly integrate the characteristics of various Soul Guidance Metal when forging Soul Guidance Alloy.
Because of this, the Soul Guidance effects of these weapons and armor can be so unified."
The Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's Dragon Horns have the effect of absorbing fire and storing energy.
Quan Yi, who owns the Scarlet Dragon Horns External Soul Bone, knows this best.
Therefore, Quan Yi speculated whether the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's Dragon Horns had excellent Fire Element conductivity.
Thinking of this, Quan Yi once entrusted Lou Gao to add Dragon Horns powder to the Soul Guidance Metal to test its effect.
However, even he did not expect that the Scarlet Scale Evil Dragon's powder would have such a powerful fusion-promoting effect.
"Haha, so that's how it is, no wonder I feel so natural and smooth when I input Soul Power.
However, compared to this discovery, what is more commendable is Master Lou's enthusiasm and perseverance.
If it weren't for Master Lou, even with these materials, we might never have reached the current level.
This is all thanks to Master Lou.
I, and our Quan Family, will not forget Master Lou's contribution.
Moreover, our Quan Family will soon establish a Soul Guidance Device Research Institute. When that time comes, we would like to invite Master Lou to serve as the Dean of this Research Institute."
Quan Yi praised Lou Gao greatly. Without Lou Gao, it would not have been easy to improve the completion of the Soul Guidance Armor to this level.
Moreover, this Soul Guidance Metal is just the beginning.
In the future, they will also develop other Soul Guidance Armor.
According to the current performance, the effect of this Soul Guidance Armor on Soul Masters is even no less than Soul Bones and Soul Rings.
Lou Gao's own value has also increased countless times due to the emergence of Soul Guidance Armor.
"Young Master, you are too kind. I am not very interested in these treatments and positions.
All I care about is forging. As long as I can continue to forge powerful weapons, equipment, and Soul Guidance Devices, I will be satisfied."
Lou Gao's words were not a lie, they were his true feelings.
If it weren't for forging, he wouldn't have been attracted to Saus City by the Bicycle, and he wouldn't have joined the Quan Family so readily.
From beginning to end, he has not changed his original intention.
In this sense, Lou Gao is extremely grateful for the decision he made to join the Quan Family.
It was also because of this decision that his forging level reached its current level.
The huge financial support allowed him to experiment with various rare metals without any scruples.
The powerful Steam power allowed him to master the great power beyond himself.
Because of this, he was able to complete the forging of the Scarlet Dragon Skyfire Armor, otherwise, with his own strength, forging a part of the armor might take a whole year.
During his time in the Quan Family, Lou Gao can be said to have had the happiest time as a blacksmith.
Unless the Quan Family drives him away, he will never leave here.
