Astral Douluo

(POV Mang Tian)-->

'What the f*** was that. That metal has absolutely no use except for decoration. I was sure that the metal would break under this guy's strength but damn! This happened!' I thought with the grin on my face unconsciously getting wider and wider.

Tang Wulin fared no better. During the process, he was screaming for his brother to stop but somehow, Tang Xingxi instead f***ing spirit forged! Now, the kid's jumping on me asking what his brother just did but at this point, I just wanted to keep the metal that kid made forever and if it weren't for professional courtesy, I would have done so already too!

(POV Tang Xingxi)-->

Waking up to a dark space, I find god looking at me. Quickly I stood up and said, "Okay what is going on!"

"Hahaha! Nothing, I just wanted to give you a gift as proof of our friendship. The first one was that piece of metal existing but I just don't know what I should do for the second half." (G)

"Wait! Does that mean--" (TX)

"Yes, you will get to make another wish. (Just keep it low maintenance)" (G)

"Yes! So um, could I ask for an i-pod with all anime music that is indestructible, will never get lost and can fuse into me paired with earphones that have the same circ.u.mstances. Can you also make it so the music boosts my focus and makes me more relaxed and increases my happiness? Can you also make it only have one button for on and off and it plays exactly what I want to hear consciously or unconsciously?" (TX)

"Umm, yes but why this wish?" (G)

"Because I don't want to cheat this world by watching anime and definitely not by reading manga or light novels which could potentially distract me from cultivation and give me spoilers for this world. But, I really like them so I'll compromise with listening to the music from those anime. As for why 1 button... Have you even tried to look at the amount of anime songs there are?" TX)

"Hahaha! Alright, well I'll send you off now!" (G)

"Alright Bye!" I said right before everything before me blurred and I awoke to a worried Mang Tian and Tang Wulin.

I could see my brother crying and said, "Stupid fool, you know I wouldn't abandon you. And I definitely wouldn't leave you, especially just right after Na'er left."

"I-I know" (TW)

"Alright then, stop crying, were men remember?" (TX)

We then looked at each other and just laughed for a while. We were both level 17 spirit masters. I actually could have cultivated more in my special space with the immense time difference, but I was just too lazy. We would have laughed the whole day if not that, however, "Ahem. Alright, I know you two care for each other but what Tang Xingxi…WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST DOOO!" (MT)

"Um, forged a metal?" (TX)

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN 'JUST FORGED A METAL!' THAT 'METAL', WAS A METAL USUALLY BROKEN INTO SHARDS FOR DECORATION! THE ONLY REASON IT WASN'T AROUND THIS ROOM AS DECOR WAS BECAUSE I HAD MY HANDS FULL WITH YOU TWO!" (MT)

"Oh…Wait! What!" (TW)

To both of them, I could only sheepishly smile and say, "I just felt a connection to the metal and forged it the way I felt it should be forged." As expected, my answer just added more shock to their hearts. one of them more than the others.

"Hahaha! My genius disciple has an unorthodox soul-fated metal! He is definitely going to be a Divine Blacksmith! Hahaha!" (MT)

"Umm, excuse me but, what is a soul-fated metal?" (TX/TW)

"Soul-Fated metals are the first type of metal that a blacksmith has forged familiarity with and will have a complete boost in quality every time said metal is used! The rarer, stronger or more unique, the better foundation the blacksmith sets for himself!" (MT)

"What!" (TZ)

"Huh?! When did dad get here?!" (TX/TW)

"Umm, I've been here since this morning. You have school tomorrow," said a dejected father.

"Alright. Let's just forge this little monster's hammer first!" Said Mang Tian while patting my head and ruffling my hair.

I was brought to the forging table. I look at my brother's hammers. They looked really nice and sleek with a blue gem in the middle (where the hell did he get that gem? P.S. look at manga drawing of hammers for description).

I then start to think of what I want in my hammer and decide that I want a glass-like rough set of hammers similar to a constellation. I then start to hammer the spirit metal with my hammers (Emperor's Set spirit) and I get what I want to see. Suddenly, mid-forge a name came to mind and I decided to end the forging process here and now slamming my hammers down at full force while shouting out to the heavens, "Mjolnir!!!"

As my hammers slammed the metal, thunder boomed down and refined me and the metal. An electrical sensation entered my body and I felt my cultivation level rise from 17, all the way to 20. After taking a bit to recover, I looked at the now completed hammers. They looked exactly like a 3d constellation of two identical hammers. However, I couldn't enjoy the sight for long as the now completed hammers flew towards me and assimilated into my Starlight Orb Spirit. I felt a new spirit ring emerge and as it happened I thought to myself, 'I think I'm the first person to ever hold a tool spirit soul.'

When I finished, everyone was gawking at me opening and closing their mouths. Amused at this, I said, "Stop gawking, I could fit and egg or two inside any of your mouths!"

"Don't say that so easily and let us adapt to all this shock!" (TW/TZ/MT)

(POV Tang Xingxi)-->

Slightly admiring the I-pod and earphones on my table which I tested out earlier, I looked at my Starlight Orb spirit. It had two constellation marks on it now. My second ring was purple and had cosmic markings on it. One was the constellation Leo from the Zodiac and one was Mjolnir from the Nordic Constellations. I looked at the spirit abilities of Mjolnir and found them pretty cool. I could well, summon Mjolnir(s) at no cost. its main purpose is for forging and its special forging ability is actually also a nightmare in combat.

"Disintegration, Reperation and Lightning infusion" Perfect for nourishing metals as all impurities are already blasted away with the first strike and the rest are just to improve the metal. Now, imagine "infusion" becoming "striking" and Reparation being non-existent and you get the passive of the hammers if they are not currently forging.

The real skills basically allow me to control the movement of the hammer in any range (imagine Thor calling back his hammer except you can shift and control the destination). This Spirit Ability is called "Master of Mjolnir". The second one is called "Mjolnir's Birth" and allows me to call tribulation lightning from the heavens upon an opponent or shoot a beam of concentrated star-light from the top of the hammer's head. Currently, however, the tribulation lightning is off-limits. I'm just not strong enough.

Imagining what havoc I would wreck with these insane skills, I put my earphones on, pressed the switch on the i-pod and slept under the starry night sky.
