Chapter 116 - Mysterious Organization? (2/2)

Not only was he completing his final task today, but he was also going to hand in the finished products and accept a new week's worth of tasks.

Aluminium purification, Thousand Refinements!

This was the simplest Thousand Refinements task. After accepting it, Tang Wulin discovered that although it was easy to Thousand Refine Aluminium, sensing the mysteries hidden within was no easy project!

Compared to ordinary steel, aluminium possessed the hardness of steel while also possessing its own resilience. With this combination of hardness and resilience, Tang Wulin could gradually sense the changes and mysteries within the metal as he Thousand Refined it. After the Thousand Refinements was completed, the aluminium's hardness and resilience increased substantially, as if it had completely transformed. It could be said that this was an uncommon metal that experienced the greatest change after being Thousand Refined.

Tang Wulin could vaguely hear the words of Grandmaster Cen Yue echoing within his mind: 'Thousand Refined aluminium is the most commonly used metal for making purple battle armor.'

It was because of these words that Tang Wulin possessed such great interest in aluminium. With aluminium being so cheap, wouldn't he be able to forge his own battle armor in the future?

Lately, he had been accepting many aluminium forging tasks and was now beginning to gain the ability to feel the inner changes of the aluminium as he forged it. There was never a shortage of Thousand Refined aluminium tasks, so by relying on the powerful Stacked Hammers effect of his Heavy Silver hammers, his output rate was simply outrageous, and he had no need to worry about making a mistake.

Tang Wulin had a slight feeling that if he was able to gain an even deeper understanding of the essence of aluminium, of its breath of life and its character, then he would make another breakthrough on the path of forging.

Today's forging finished without a hitch, and as he looked at the brilliantly s.h.i.+ning Thousand Refined aluminium in front of him, he couldn't help but crack a knowing smile.

Mang Tian had once told Tang Wulin that just by relying on his perception and innate divine strength, he was already on the threshold of becoming a fourth ranked blacksmith. After all, Tang Wulin was able to bring about simple special effects in uncommon Thousand Refined metals.

Yet, the gap between his current level and a true, fourth ranked blacksmith was by no means small. In order to advance to the fourth rank from the third rank, it required an acc.u.mulation of experience. Also, reaching the fourth rank wasn't necessarily a good thing if one's foundation was not firm enough. This was the reason Mang Tian wanted him to understand the inner properties of all of the uncommon metals on the market and to be able to Thousand Refine them completely before attempting the fourth rank test.

Having learned from Mang Tian for over three years now, Tang Wulin's foundations were definitely st.u.r.dy. Now he was improving his comprehension of metals in the third and fourth ranks in order to better prepare himself for Spirit Forging in the future. If he were to actually enter the Spirit Forging realm, he would then be considered to truly be one of the federation's elites.

Just what sort of level was Spirit Forging? Was it to understand the spirit of the metal? Or was it to bestow spirit into the metal?

Di, di, di. Tang Wulin's soul communicator rang as soon as he turned it on.

“Teacher Mang Tian,” Tang Wulin respectfully said.

“If you're free right now, then come to the Blacksmith's a.s.sociation.” Mang Tian's deep voice rang out.

“I was just getting ready to head over there. Teacher, are you at the a.s.sociation right now?” Tang Wulin asked in surprise as he hadn't seen Mang Tian these past few days.

“En. Come then. I'm waiting for you in the president's office.” Tang Wulin heard a trace of loneliness in Mang Tian's voice.

He didn't dare delay and quickly packed up the finished products for his accepted tasks. He quickly left the workshop and headed straight for the a.s.sociation.

The a.s.sociation was nearby, so he arrived in only a few minutes.

He then rode the elevator all the way to the top floor.

Inside of Mu Chen's office were Mu Chen and Mang Tian. The two were seated across from one another, but Mu Chen had a serene expression while Mang Tian had a slight frown.
