Chapter 12 One Hammer Forges a Thousand Times, One Grade.
Yun Mu felt that hearing such cheesy words once was enough; he didn't want to hear them a second time.
"Let's go." Yun Mu looked at the entire Shrek City with curiosity. However, what Yun Mu was thinking about at this moment was how to remove Tang San's influence from this Shrek City?
However, it is both difficult and easy, since the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy are now very far removed from Tang San's era.
Moreover, they have had no contact with the divine realm for many years.
Five people were browsing in a clothing store, while two others were enjoying a romantic evening under the flowers and moon.
About a week later, Yunming and Yali personally escorted Yunmu and the others back.
Na'er, Tang Wulin, and Yun Mu all changed into brand-new clothes and stepped off the plane as if they were walking a fashion show.
Yun Ming and Ya Li sat in Tang Ziran's house, gave Yun Mu a few instructions, and then left.
Yun Mu slowly released his martial spirit on his bed. He observed his Life Sword martial spirit and found that the changes were indeed significant.
Perhaps in the future he can become a healing-type Soul Master with strong offensive abilities.
Unfortunately, they could only rest for a few minutes before heading to Mangtian's studio in the afternoon to work as blacksmiths.
Yun Mu circulated that unknown technique, slowly harmonizing his attributes. However, in a corner he didn't notice at all, some silver soul power with a colorful radiance slowly appeared.
Tang Wulin chose to sit on the lawn outside and cultivate with the Blue Silver Grass.
Only Na'er looked at them with great envy.
But the next moment, Na'er's expression suddenly changed completely, and she looked at Tang Wulin with a somewhat cold expression.
"Golden Dragon King..." Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, Na'er's adorable expression returned to normal.
The afternoon arrived quickly.
Yun Mu and Tang Wulin walked towards Mangtian Studio together, smiling.
"Yunmu, Wulin, you're here!" A tall and strong young man, probably in his early twenties, greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Long, did Teacher Mangtian say that we can start the real forging today?" Tang Wulin asked excitedly.
The man called Brother Long nodded, "Congratulations on getting started with the practical exercises."
Yun Mu said with a smile, "Then Brother Long must teach us properly later."
"Oh, not at all, I should thank you. If you hadn't kept helping me replenish my energy, I wouldn't have been able to do so much work." Brother Long chuckled and scratched his head.
Yun Mu scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"You two must keep up the good work!" Brother Long then returned to his studio to begin his work for the day.
"You're here!" Mang Tian came out of his studio when he heard the noise. "Come to this room. I just prepared it for you two last week."
"Thank you, Teacher Mangtian." Yun Mu and Tang Wulin entered the room where Mangtian was.
There were two forging tables in the room, and on one of the forging tables were two hammers.
However, the hammer looks rather small, perhaps to accommodate Yun Mu's strength and height.
Yun Mu and Tang Wulin each stood in front of their respective forging platforms.
Mang Tian also put away his smile and said seriously, "Press the button on the forging table."
"Then pick up your hammer, Tang Wulin, release your martial spirit," Mang Tian said.
"What you are facing is Sunken Silver, a rare metal that is most suitable for beginners to train," Mang Tian said.
"Alright, now let's begin the hundred-times forging. Remember, forging is divided into hundred forgings, thousand forgings, spirit forgings, soul forgings, and heaven forgings, each corresponding to a different level. Of course, these aren't important to you right now," Mang Tianwei explained to the two.
Yun Mu pressed the button as instructed, and the center of the forging table cracked open, revealing the furnace underneath.
Yun Mu picked up a piece of heavy silver from the side and weighed it in his hand; it felt quite heavy.
Then it was placed in the slot of the forge, and soon the metal turned red-hot.
Yun Mu picked up the hammer in his hand and kept hitting the metal block. Perhaps because his soul power was not stable before, it overflowed uncontrollably when he exerted force.
That strange soul power slowly flowed into the metal, forging it a thousand times with a single hammer blow, and awakening its intelligence!
Yun Mu saw the white light that suddenly rose up, his hand stopped, and he turned to look at Mang Tian beside him.
Mang Tian was completely stunned on the spot.
A single hammer blow can forge a thousand pieces into a single grade; only a master craftsman could achieve that.
Tang Wulin looked at Yun Mu in disbelief, then turned to look at Mang Tian. Wasn't it said that my brother's talent wasn't that great?
"This, this…" Mang Tian quickly walked to the forging table, turned off the furnace, picked up an iron clamp, and clamped the metal.
He held it up close and examined it repeatedly, but he just couldn't figure it out. No, it's soul power!
"I'll forge you a hammer from this piece later. Control your soul power and don't let it leak out. Now try another piece and see," Mang Tian said anxiously.
Yun Mu nodded, calmed himself down, reopened the forge, and placed another piece of heavy silver on it.
He took a deep breath, waited for the metal to turn red, and then quickly picked up the hammer and started striking the metal.
Sure enough, this time there was no strange sight; it was just like an ordinary piece of metal being repeatedly struck.
Mang Tian breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Sure enough, his prediction was correct.
Yun Mu gradually calmed down, his heartbeat seemingly mirroring the rhythm of each tap.
Mang Tian watched as the metal slowly cooled down. He took it in his hand and used his soul power to examine it. He sensed a strong life force and destructive power within it, but the life force perfectly calmed the destructive power.
It seems that this child's martial spirit is naturally suited to the forging industry, and may even bring about a different way of forging metals.
Tang Wulin, standing next to him, is more traditional and normal.
This time, Tang Wulin was clearly the first to complete the hundred-fold forging, and the quality was quite good.
However, Yun Mu quickly completed the hundred-fold forging, but this time the metal did not have that special soul power.
Yun Mu sighed inwardly. Sure enough, without cheating, he couldn't compete with these hammer-wielding idiots when it came to forging.
"Alright, that concludes your lesson for today. You can go home now, and you'll receive a small reward for your hard work with this metal. As for Yunmu's Thousand-Refined Grade One piece, I'll forge a forging hammer for you," Mang Tian said with a smile.
Lang Yue was already waiting at the door. When she saw the two children come out, she was very excited. She hugged the two children with a mix of heartache and pride.
At this moment, Mang Tian was contemplating life while facing the piece of metal that Yun Mu had forged.
As a level six blacksmith, he genuinely felt that all those years of training had been wasted.
