The iron ingot that fell on the forging table was completely black, but it had a special texture, with a faint dark red light flowing on it. There seemed to be a faint golden dragon pattern looming.
The shrunk iron ingot was only the size of a fist, but was it still the same ordinary iron as before? It was completely different!
Lan Xuanyu stared at this scene in a daze. This was too unbelievable. This was a miracle created by Uncle Le!
Master Le also looked at the piece of metal silently. He clearly felt that this was not the best he could achieve. After all, this was just a piece of ordinary iron. But even if it was just ordinary iron, in his hands, it seemed to have entered a special realm.
His forging, the forging hammer is just a medium, his forging, is the result of the fusion of his own strength, consciousness and thoughts. It only went up once, but in that instant, it was like a spiritual connection, giving the iron ingot real life.
The golden light on Lan Xuanyu's body converged, he held the iron ingot, and then looked at Tang Le, "Uncle Le, you are so awesome!"
Although he still didn't understand what the iron ingot that Tang Le had just forged meant, it was definitely not an ordinary existence! Moreover, in Lan Xuanyu's heart, he had some blind worship for Tang Le. This person was able to destroy a warship with his bare hands in space. His combat strength was so strong, so he should be equally strong in other aspects.
Tang Le smiled slightly, "I seem to have really recalled something. After coming to Shrek Academy this time, my memory has shown some signs of recovery. It seems that everything here is very familiar to me and very kind. Forging, I seem to be able to do it, I should be OK."
"Uncle Le, can you teach me? I want to learn forging." Lan Xuanyu looked eager to try.
There is no doubt that Senior Yang Yingming can never compare to Uncle Le. It would be great if Uncle Le was willing to teach him.
Master Le smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay! Then I will come to teach you every day. Whenever you come here, I will come to find you." He agreed naturally.
"Thank you, uncle, that's great!" Lan Xuanyu jumped up excitedly, holding Tang Le's hand, with a happy smile on his face. He himself didn't know whether he was so happy because he could learn forging or because he could be with Tang Le.
Tang Le said: "Then let's get started now. The forging process I just showed you is something you can't learn yet, so let's start with the basics. To be a good forger, you must at least be familiar with your forging hammer first, and at the same time, you must practice the basics well. The hammering method is very important, so let me teach you a hammering method first. This will help you to bring out your own strength."
As he spoke, Tang Le sucked another iron ingot over with his hand, and the ingot fell on the forging table in front of Lan Xuanyu.
"You don't need to calcine it, just use it as your goal and practice the hammer method first. When using a forging hammer, the first thing you need to pay attention to is the force. Everyone has a limit to their strength, but this limit refers to the whole body. When forging, you also practice your control over your strength. If you want to use your full strength, then you need to mobilize not only your arm strength, but also start from the soles of your feet, push the ground with your calves, then go to your waist, back, shoulders, arms, and finally your wrist and your forging hammer. This process of exerting force is very important. Uncle will let you experience it, here."
As he spoke, Tang Le held the forging hammer, turned halfway, and swung the hammer up.
In an instant, a gentle thought suddenly surged into Lan Xuanyu's mind, and he clearly felt the process of Tang Le's body strength exerting force from his calves.
This intuitive feeling was so clear that he could remember the process of Tang Le exerting force clearly without even having to do it a second time.
"You try it." Tang Le handed the forging hammer to Lan Xuanyu.
Lan Xuanyu imitated him, half-turned his body, supported himself with his left leg, pushed the ground with his right leg, and swung the forging hammer out.
A faint warmth began to transmit upward from his calf. When his power flow deviated, this warmth naturally helped him pull the power back and swing the hammer perfectly.
With a loud bang, the forging hammer fell on the iron ingot, making a loud noise. The forging hammer was also bounced high.
Lan Xuanyu’s own strength was already quite good, but the recoil still made his palms slightly numb.
The force just now was so strong! Is this the benefit of mobilizing the whole body's strength
Moreover, his memory of the place where the warmth flowed became clearer. Undoubtedly, this was the path Uncle Le was guiding his power to flow. Such guidance was simply too magical. He didn't need to explore it himself, and could directly find the most correct way to use the force.
"Come again." Tang Le nodded to him.
"Okay." Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and swung the hammer again.
In the following time, he just practiced the simplest hammer swing. Whenever there was a deviation in the use of force, Tang Le's assistance would appear and always help him adjust and let him feel what the correct use of force was like.
In this way, Lan Xuanyu made rapid progress and became more and more familiar with the feel of the forging hammer. He could even feel that the use of this power was not only useful for forging, but also had considerable benefits for his soul power and strength.
Tang Le was right beside him, guiding him tirelessly and telling him that the foundation was the most important. Whether it was soul training or forging, a good foundation was the most important for the future. A tall building is built from the ground up, and without a solid foundation it is impossible to reach a higher level.
Lan Xuanyu spent the whole afternoon swinging the hammer, but he didn't feel tired at all. Although his palms were numb and swollen, he clearly felt that his use of strength was much better than before. Later on, he no longer needed Tang Le's assistance, and he could swing the hammer with his greatest strength.
Tang Le began to raise his requirements for him. For example, when he swung the hammer, he had to be precise about how much strength he used. For example, he only used half of his strength, one-third of his strength, one-quarter of his strength, etc. This was the application of the control of strength.
"Uncle Le, why do we have to practice this? Isn't it best to use all your strength?" Lan Xuanyu asked puzzledly.
Tang Le shook his head and said, "In many cases, full strength is not enough to achieve the best results. Sometimes, if the strength is well controlled, the effect will be greater. For example, if you go to pull out a fairy grass, then using too much force may destroy the fairy grass, and the appropriate strength is very important. If the strength is well controlled, you can hammer according to your perception of the metal during the forging process, instead of just hitting it blindly. Each metal has its own characteristics. I just looked at your book, and there are many records about the basic metal characteristics. In fact, you don't need to memorize these. What you need to know about the metal is not memorization, but you need to use your body and mind to sense it."
"Are those data wrong?" Lan Xuanyu asked curiously.
Tang Le said seriously: "You have to remember that in this world, no two things are exactly the same. The so-called data are the greatest common divisors to a certain extent, not exactly the same. It is possible to judge according to those, but it can never be precise. Deducing to metals, even if it is the same kind of metal, each piece is different. Because they are born in different conditions and have different experiences. Some metals have experienced high temperatures, some have been frozen, some have been collided, and some have been worn. Their internal composition is of course similar, but how can they be exactly the same?"
