The sound suddenly became intense. At first, it was only the forging table that was shaking, but soon, the huge sound wave caused the entire forging room to tremble. Want – Free – See – Full – Version – Please – Hundred – Du – Search

"Dang!" The twelfth hammer fell. The Heavy Silver's volume had already shrunk by a third, and a silver light suddenly bloomed from it, causing the entire forging room to become bright.
"Hundred Refinements!" Yang Yingming subconsciously clenched his fists.
Twelve hammers, only twelve hammers, and he had actually succeeded in Hundred Refinements!
Hundred Refinements did not necessarily require a hundred times of forging. When the purity of a rare metal was raised to a certain level, it would undergo a qualitative change. This was the so-called Hundred Refinements purification.
Completing Hundred Refinements with twelve hammers was something that Yang Yingming knew that he absolutely could not do. He had long heard that the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique was especially suitable for forging, but it was not an easy task to obtain the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer Technique. Moreover, it was said that this hammer technique was very difficult to control. He did not expect that he would actually see it in Lan Xuanyu's place, and that the effect would be so good.
Hundred Refinements with twelve hammers, what kind of level was this? This was at least the standard of a second level blacksmith, right? Yang Yingming clearly remembered what Lan Xuanyu was like when he first came here. At that time, he was definitely a rookie who had never come into contact with forging! In less than five months, his level had actually increased to such an extent?
Lan Xuanyu's forging was not finished yet. His body was still spinning, and the forging hammer continued to fall. Every time it fell, there would be a louder sound.
At this moment, Yang Yingming, who was watching from behind, was full of shame. He had said that he wanted to teach him, but looking at his level, he was clearly not inferior to him! The way he borrowed strength from the hammer was so skillful, and the strength of each hammer was very great. Just the power he displayed was far superior to his peers. How did he train?
Lan Xuanyu did not know what Yang Yingming was thinking. He was completely immersed in his forging. With every hammer strike, he could clearly feel the changes in the Heavy Silver, and these changes were his guidance. The changes in the Heavy Silver's body would clearly tell him where the next hammer strike should land.
Seeing the Heavy Silver becoming smaller and smaller under the forging hammer, Lan Xuanyu's blood and Qi surged within his body. The reaction force from the forging hammer was naturally used by him, and it definitely wouldn't affect his stable state.
He infused his soul power and bloodline power into the hammers and fused them with the heavy silver during the forging process.
The hammer in his hand was just an ordinary forging hammer, and it had been fine in the beginning, but as time went on, it was beginning to succumb, and he had to use his soul power and bloodline power to protect it.
Tang Le had told Lan Xuanyu that the reason why forging became one of the major auxiliary professions in the production of Battle Armors was because during the forging process, the blacksmith's own soul power and bloodline power would fuse with the metal and combine with it organically, thus imperceptibly influencing the metal during the forging process, allowing the metal to really grow like a living body.
Tang Le's description of forging was very simple, and it could be summarized in one sentence: It was a process of creating life.
Hundred Refinement was to remove the impurities within the metal, and Thousand Refinement was to awaken the metal's spirituality. The more profound forging was either to give the metal a soul or to increase the metal's intelligence until it finally transcended tribulation. This was the profound meaning of forging.
Therefore, when Lan Xuanyu forged, his mentality was the same, and he regarded forging as the process of creating life. He was young, but his ability to accept things was extremely strong. He had only come into contact with rare metals after forging for so long, so he especially cherished this opportunity and was very attentive. Compared to a few months ago, his spiritual power had also improved greatly, and his comprehension was naturally much deeper.
"Dang, dang, dang …" As the forging hammer fell again and again, the piece of Heavy Silver became more and more resplendent. Every time the hammer fell, the entire forging table would tremble.
Yang Yingming stared fixedly at Lan Xuanyu's forging hammer, feeling the changes in the piece of Heavy Silver, and gradually understood something in his heart.
Although Lan Xuanyu's forging hammer was heavy, it could always land in the right place. Not a single bit of power was wasted, and it completely penetrated the metal. When his soul power fused with the Heavy Silver, it even had an adjustment effect on the energy inside the Heavy Silver. It all appeared in a flash. If Yang Yingming wasn't extremely familiar with forging, he probably wouldn't have been able to sense it.
Moreover, every adjustment was different. In other words, Lan Xuanyu was constantly making adjustments according to the changes in the Heavy Silver. Yang Yingming asked himself if he could do this, but he might not be able to do it better than him.
A few months! In just a few months, how did he do it without using any rare metals?
Little did he know that when Lan Xuanyu forged ordinary iron, he needed to make more adjustments, and it was more laborious than forging rare metals. There were many impurities in ordinary iron, and only one percent of ten kilograms of ordinary iron could be purified into fine iron. Forging Heavy Silver didn't require as many adjustments as ordinary iron, but Lan Xuanyu felt that the changes in the Heavy Silver were greater, and it had a higher activity. This made him have to concentrate and feel it constantly. This was also a learning process in itself.
"Boom!" The last hammer fell, and Lan Xuanyu used the reaction force to spin three times on the spot before he could stand firm.
The Heavy Silver in front of him let out a buzzing sound. A ball of silver light bloomed and rose a foot high. After circling for a long time, it gradually fell back.
The Heavy Silver was less than half its original size, and its whole body was much brighter, as if the dust had been removed. The specks of silver under the sunlight were as beautiful as the universe's starry sky.
Lan Xuanyu frowned. "It's only a foot high, and I'm still not familiar with its characteristics. It can be considered wasted, sigh … "
Yang Yingming, who was standing behind him, was dumbfounded. "Wasted? How is it wasted? Didn't you succeed in the Thousand Refinements? The Thousand Refinements have spirit, and the metal has risen. "
Lan Xuanyu subconsciously said, "But, Uncle Yue said that the Thousand Refinements can only be considered successful if the metal rises to ten feet! It's only one foot. "
"Ten feet? Ten feet is first-grade Thousand Refinements, the top Thousand Refinements. That's something only a fourth-rank blacksmith can do, and that's also the mark of a fourth-rank blacksmith, okay? You've only been learning for a few days, and you want to achieve first-grade Thousand Refinements? "Yang Yingming looked at Lan Xuanyu helplessly.
Lan Xuanyu turned to look at him and said with some embarrassment, "Is that so? Senior, then what's my current level? "
Yang Yingming's breathing was a little uneven. "You just said Uncle Yue? Is he your teacher? "
Lan Xuanyu nodded. "I guess so. He taught me blacksmithing."
Yang Yingming came to a sudden realization and said, "I was wondering how you could have reached such a level in just a few short months. Thousand Refinements, even if it's an ordinary Thousand Refinements, are at the level of a third-rank blacksmith. If you want to be evaluated as a third-rank blacksmith, you just have to Thousand Refinements during the exam. Our association can evaluate blacksmiths below the fourth rank. For blacksmiths above the fourth rank, we have to invite people from the Federation's Blacksmith's Association over. However, the people from the Shrek City branch are originally our academy's seniors and teachers. You're already at the third rank! Did you really only learn for a few months? "
Third rank blacksmith? Lan Xuanyu nodded. He didn't care much about this. This was because Tang Le had told him that if he wanted to make a One-Word Battle Armor, the Thousand Refined metal had to have a ten foot radiance. If possible, it was best to fuse two types of metals. Using fused metals to make a One-Word Battle Armor would be better, and it would be more beneficial to improve the quality of the Battle Armor. Moreover, when making a Two-Word Battle Armor, there would be no need to reforge the metal. Battle energy made from first-grade Thousand Refined metals could only be fused with a Soul Master because the metal's spirit had been completely awakened.
