Soul Land III: Legend of the Dragon King
Chapter 28 – Thousand Silver Smooth Weight
The higher the temperature, the more tenacious the Heavy Silver was.
Two hours of patient forging passed. The metal suddenly erupted, but Tang Wulin continued his relentless forging. With each powerful attack, Heavy Silver let out a spark as it began to change shape.
Every time his arm started to ache, another heat wave would come out of the vertebrates. It eliminated all of his pain as it flowed into the hundreds of bones from his four limbs. Tang Wulin also automatically transferred soul power into his arms to maintain his strength.
Gradually, the Heavy Silver pieces got smaller and smaller as it got purer.
It had to be said that the strength of Heavy Silver was its extremely high and extremely dense characteristics. If one wanted to purify and shrink it, it would be extremely difficult, especially if one wanted to avoid the destruction of his blood vessels.
However, as Tang Wulin's hands refined the metal, the value of this Heavy Silver would increase by at least two or threefold.
Tang Wulin did not even realize how many times he had hit the metal lump. Gradually, the sound of the thump subsided. In front of him was a hunk of Heavy SIlver that released a faint radiance. Every time he hit, it seemed like he would breathe along with him. Tang Wulin's spine was already extremely hot and, hidden behind his clothes, a golden vein pattern appeared.
On the side, Mang Tian's attention was completely focused on the Heavy Silver chunk and he didn't notice any changes to his disciple's body at all.
A golden spark appeared in the depths of Tang Wulin's deepest eyes as the hammer fused with his body. With each punch, Heavy Silver would sing a comforting tone.
Tang Wulin's eyes shone brighter and brighter as the hammer also accelerated. All of his strength solidified into a pair of Thousand Fine Tungsten Hammers that he held in his hand.
The Heavy Silver began to reveal its purest condition. It's shrinking. Shrink five percent, ten percent, fifteen percent. After reaching this level of shrinkage, its density had also reached its limit. It couldn't possibly shrink inward anymore. Tang Wulin still continued to hammer her. With each attack, the Heavy Silver vein line would slightly increase. His blood vessel lines became increasingly bright.
The light of the forging flames had long shone on the blacksmith within the room, turning it deep red. Tang Wulin's clothes were soaked with sweat. Even Mang Tian, who was watching from the sidelines, had his forehead sweat.
Thousand Refinings's. This is the feeling of a Thousand Purifications.
As Grandmaster Blacksmith, Mang Tian had an extremely sharp perception and knew that Tang Wulin and Heavy Silver had reached an agreement.
This was the kind of indescribable feeling that one could only comprehend after completing the Thousand Refinements.
Mang Tian originally wanted Tang Wulin to only gain an understanding of Heavy Silver, and then he could complete his first Thousand Refinements at any time before he left to attend the intermediate academy. He really did not expect that Tang Wulin would be able to start his Thousand Repairs on the first day he touched Silver Weight. Moreover, he had already entered this special state.
This could be attributed not only to Tang Wulin's strength, but also his perception! A child like this was definitely destined to become a great teacher!
Throughout his life, Mang Tian's greatest regret was his inability to become a Saint Craftsman level blacksmith. However, when he saw Tang Wulin, he could see the boy realizing his dream in his place.
Three hours have passed. Tang Wulin had never forged continuously for a long time, especially with such intensity.
Immediately, three and a half hours passed and it was four hours!
Unaware of what was happening, Tang Ziran stood outside the door of the forging room and waited. His son had not returned after such a long time, so he came looking for him, just in time to see his son sweating.
The fantastic tempo was like a symphony of hammers being played under the focused gaze of his son.
This was the first time he had seen his son forge. Clearly, this was a higher level of forging than he had expected! Tang Wulin was also only nine years old! In these three short years, he had unexpectedly reached such a level of forging. Tang Ziran had met an expert blacksmith before, and now she could see the aura of an expert blacksmith coming from Tang Wulin!
Four and a half hours later, Tang Wulin's expression turned pale. The golden pattern on Tang Wulin's body had even disappeared long before Tang Ziran's arrival.
The swelling pain he felt in the first year of forgery appeared once again this time. His arms began to feel heavier and heavier. Clearly, he was pouring out his strength, but still he did not stop. He continuously used most of his strength, each attack had the same amount of strength as the previous one. His body was supported through willpower as he continued forging.
‘Almost finished. I'm almost done. I can't stop now. Notnot now. I'll waste all my efforts if I stop now. ‘
Due to some sort of deep connection between him and that piece of Heavy Silver, Tang Wulin was able to grit his teeth and endure the pain as he continued forging.
Mang Tian involuntarily clenched his fists as he watched anxiously. In fact, she was even more anxious than Tang Wulin!
If this kid succeeded on his first attempt at Thousand Refinements, then without a doubt, he would gain a lot of confidence. With that confidence, it would be extremely beneficial in every effort of the Thousand Refinements he made in the future. His success rate would be much higher than other blacksmiths!
But will he survive to the end? It's been almost five hours now. Even for Mang Tian, he had to try his hardest and use his soul force to continue forging for five consecutive hours.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. A Thousand Purified Tungsten Hammer keeps hammering the metal when baked in the furnace fire and remains bright red. If the hammer had never been Thousand Refined, then it would most likely have been broken a long time ago.
Suddenly, that Heavy Silver chunk trembled slightly under Tang Wulin's hammer blow and released a silver radiance, enveloping the entire room in silver light.
Tang Wulin lifted the hammer and then struck down with both hammers at once. In response, the silver light became increasingly wild.
As fast as lightning, Mang Tian reached Tang Wulin's side. A knife suddenly appeared in his hand as he quickly slashed the tired boy's wrist.
After his blood came out, it landed on top of the twinkling Heavy Silver.
Tang Ziran shouted in shock but in the next moment, Mang Tian had already covered up the wound on Tang Wulin's wrist. He intensely stared at the twinkling chunks of Heavy Silver as he closed the furnace simultaneously.
Blood drops in Heavy Silver make a series of ‘chi chi’ sounds as it evaporates into smoke. The fire was extinguished, exposing the metal.
The Heavy Silver piece was now a smaller circle than before. The flaming red color quickly faded and along with it, the flickering silver light also dimmed.
Before it was forged, its dazzling silver color had already worn off and looked closer to a simple gray. There was an additional layer of detail lines on the outside, like a big wave in the sea. This veined pattern looked as if it was carved on his body, yet it actually felt extremely smooth.
Heavy Silver Grey gives a deep feeling. It really has fantastic quality.
It was the same for the Thousand Refinements version. Different metals will have varying difficulties to become Thousand Refined. If the difficulty of forging his Thousand Refined Tungsten Hammers was said to be level one, then the difficulty of Heavy Silver could be said to be level five, maybe even level eight!
When Mang Tian had Tang Wulin try out the Thousand Refinements with this piece of Heavy Silver, he never expected Tang Wulin to actually succeed. Instead, he wanted to use this sturdy metal to temper Tang Wulin and let him feel the Thousand Refinements.
However, five hours later, a full five hours, he succeeded!
That Heavy Silver has Perfected a Thousand!
