The roars suddenly became extremely loud. At first, it was only the forging table that was vibrating, but soon, the huge sound waves seemed to make the entire forging room tremble.
"Dang!" The twelfth hammer fell. The size of the piece of stone had shrunk by one third, and a layer of bright silver suddenly bloomed from it. The light in the entire forging room seemed to become brighter.
"Hundred Forgings!" Yang Yingming subconsciously clenched his fists.
Twelve hammers, just twelve hammers, and he had actually succeeded in forging a hundred times
Hundred forging does not necessarily mean folding and forging a hundred times, but it means a thousand hammers and a hundred temperings. When rare metals are purified to a certain degree, qualitative changes will occur. This is what is called a hundred forgings and purification.
Yang Yingming asked himself that it was impossible to complete a hundred forgings with twelve hammers. He had heard that the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique was particularly suitable for forging, but it was not easy to obtain the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique. It was also said that this hammer technique was very difficult to control. He did not expect to see it on Lan Xuanyu, and the effect was so good.
Twelve hammers and a hundred forgings, what level is this? This is at least the level of a second-level blacksmith, right? He clearly remembered what Lan Xuanyu looked like when he first came. At that time, he was definitely a rookie who had never touched forging! In just five months, he has improved to this level
Lan Xuanyu’s forging has not yet ended. His body is still spinning, still forging, and the sound of heavy hammers continues to fall. Every time it falls, a louder roar will be heard.
At this moment, Yang Yingming, who was watching from behind, felt ashamed. He said he wanted to teach others, but his level was clearly not inferior to his own! The leverage of that hammer was so pure, powerful and heavy. The display of his own strength alone was far beyond that of Tongji.
How do you practice this
Lan Xuanyu didn't know what Yang Yingming was thinking. He was now completely immersed in his forging. With each hammer strike, he could clearly feel the changes in Shen Yin. And this change was his guide. Where the next hammer should fall, the energy changes of Shen Yin itself clearly told him.
Watching the heavy silver getting smaller and smaller under the hammer, Lan Xuanyu's own blood and energy surged and injected into his limbs and bones. The recoil force from the forging hammer would naturally be borrowed by him, but it would never affect his stability.
His soul power, energy and blood were injected into the forging hammer, and were also integrated into the sunken silver during the forging process.
What he had in his hand was just an ordinary forging hammer. It was fine when he started forging, but as the forging time went on, the hammer began to be overwhelmed, and he needed to use his soul power and bloodline power to protect it.
At the same time, Master Le told him why forging became one of the major auxiliary professions in battle armor production? It was because during the forging process, the forger's own soul power and blood power would be integrated into it and organically combined with it, thus subtly affecting the changes in the metal during the forging process. This is to facilitate awakening at a higher level of forging, allowing the metal to really grow like life.
Mr. Le’s description of forging is very simple and can be summarized in one sentence: it is a process of creating life.
A hundred forgings for purification is to condense the vitality, a thousand forgings for spiritual awakening is to awaken the spirituality, and more advanced forging is either to give soul or to increase wisdom. Until finally, it is born after overcoming the calamity. This is the mystery of forging.
Therefore, when Lan Xuanyu was forging, his mentality was the same, and he regarded forging as a process of creating life. Although he was young, he had a strong ability to accept. It had been such a long time since he had forged and he had come into contact with rare metals again. He especially cherished this forging and fully opened his perception. Compared with a few months ago, his mental strength had also greatly improved, and his perception was naturally much deeper.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang..." As the heavy hammers fell, the color of the silver became brighter and brighter. With each blow, the entire forging table would tremble.
Yang Yingming stared at Lan Xuanyu's falling hammer, feeling the changes in the heavy silver, and gradually gained some insights in his mind.
Although Lan Xuanyu's hammer was heavy, it always landed in the right place, without any redundancy, and the power completely penetrated the metal. When his soul power was integrated into the silver, there was also a kind of conditioning change. It all happened in a moment, and if Yang Yingming himself was not very familiar with forging, he probably wouldn't have felt it.
Moreover, the adjustment of each soul power immersion is different, that is to say, Lan Xuanyu is constantly adjusting according to the changes of Shenyin during forging. Yang Yingming asked himself that he could only do this, and he might not be able to do better than him.
A few months! How did he do it in just a few months without using any rare metals
Little did Lan Xuanyu know that when forging the iron block, he needed to make more adjustments. It was more laborious than forging rare metals. There were a lot of impurities in the iron block. Of a ten-kilogram iron block, only one percent could be purified into iron essence. There were so many adjustments. The adjustment of Shen Yin was not as much as that of the iron block, but in Lan Xuanyu's perception, the changes were greater and more active, which required him to concentrate on it and constantly feel it.
This is also a skilled process in itself.
"Boom!" After the last hammer fell, Lan Xuanyu used the recoil force to spin three times on the spot before he could stand firm.
The silver in front of him suddenly made a buzzing sound. A layer of silver light shone out and rose. It rose about a foot high, lingered for a while, and then gradually fell back.
The sunken silver was less than half its original size, and was much brighter, as if all the dust had been removed. The silver dots reflected the light and looked as beautiful as the starry sky.
Lan Xuanyu frowned, "It's only one foot long. I'm still not familiar with its characteristics. It's considered useless. Alas..."
Yang Yingming, who was standing behind him, was stunned and said, "Waste? Where is it waste? Didn't you succeed in the Thousand Forgings? The Thousand Forgings have spirit, and metal will glow."
Lan Xuanyu subconsciously said: "But Uncle Le said that it would be considered successful only if the light is upgraded to one foot and one thousand forgings! This is only one foot."
“One zhang? One zhang is the first level of thousand forgings, the top level of thousand forgings. Only a fourth-level blacksmith can achieve that. It’s also the symbol of a fourth-level blacksmith, okay? You’ve only learned it for a few days, and you want to achieve the first level of thousand forgings.” Yang Yingming looked at Lan Xuanyu speechlessly.
Lan Xuanyu turned to him and said a little embarrassedly: "Is that so? Senior, what level am I at now?"
Yang Yingming's breathing was a little uneven, "You just mentioned Uncle Le? Is he your teacher?"
Lan Xuanyu nodded. "I guess so. He taught me forging."
Yang Yingming suddenly realized, "I was wondering how you could have reached this level in just a few months. Thousand forgings, even ordinary thousand forgings, is the level of a third-level blacksmith. As long as you show a thousand forgings during the exam, it will be fine. Forgers below level four can be evaluated by our association. Forgers above level four need to invite people from the Federal Blacksmith Association. However, our branch in Shrek City is originally composed of seniors and teachers from the academy. Level three! Have you really only studied for a few months?"
Level 3 forger? Lan Xuanyu nodded. He didn't care much about this. Because Master Le told him that if he wanted to make a one-word battle armor, the metal forged by the thousand forges should have a radiance of ten feet high. If possible, it is best to fuse the two metals. The fused metal will be better for making a one-word battle armor, which is more conducive to evolution. And when making a two-word battle armor, there is no need to forge the metal again. Only the metal forged by the thousand forges can be fused with itself. Because it is already a fully spiritual existence that can be combined with blood. br>
