Chapter 298 - Meteoric Iron (2/2)
“Hey! Not those ones,” the red-haired man shouted.
The two chunks of metal Tang Wulin held in his arms were ashen-gray, as remarkable as random stones on the ground.
“Didn't you say I can choose anything? Are you going back on your word now?”
“Only those two won't do. You only need to thousand refine once, what do you need two for?” The man's cheeks ached as he tried to conceal his agitation.
“Why can't I use two? Efficiency is important to us blacksmiths, so to save time I usually forge two metals at once! Since I have a one hundred percent success rate, this is the most efficient way for me to forge.”
Tang Wulin put the two chunks of metal in the forging table as he spoke and began the calcining process.
This forging table was truly advanced. With enough s.p.a.ce to calcine five different metals at once, any blacksmith of sufficient skill could continue forging without stopping with this table. Moreover, its advanced soul battery meant it could reach higher calcining temperatures.
“You…” The man anxiously rushed over when he saw what Tang Wulin was doing, but he was too late. The two metals already entered the furnace.
Tang Wulin beamed at him.
Anger blazed in the red-haired man's eyes. “If you can't thousand refine, no, if you can't least second-grade thousand refine it, then you're dead! You'll work for me until you pay off those two chunks of meteoric iron.”
Meteoric iron was a first-rate metal that didn't form naturally on the Douluo Continent and could only be extracted from meteorites. It was extremely dense and heavy, but its most interesting trait was the unusual energy contained within it. Weapons forged from meteoric iron possess a penetrating effect, so it was a common material for the weapons of powerful mechas.
However, meteoric iron was just too rare. Few were fortunate enough to even lay their eyes on it. Even Tang Wulin was only able to recognize this una.s.suming metal because of the countless detailed lectures on metals found within the world Mu Chen had given him.
Although this piece of meteoric iron had a dull gray appearance, Tang Wulin's Purple Demon Eyes would never let the dark golden lines running through them go unnoticed. These two chunks were undoubtedly the most precious metals in the room and were the only pieces of meteoric iron present. It was no wonder that the red-haired man was distressed.
Of course, Tang Wulin also had another reason for choosing it. Meteoric iron was impossible to spirit refine, so it was only used for one-word battle armor or mechas. This trait drastically lowered its value, such that only mecha pilots and a few battle armor masters would use it.
If not for this fact, the red-haired man never would have permitted Tang Wulin to forge it.
The calcining soon finished, and Tang Wulin pressed a b.u.t.ton to make the blazing-red chunks of metal emerge.
“I'm going to start then?” Tang Wulin glanced at the man.
The man nodded. “Kid, you better be careful with that.”
Tang Wulin responded with a radiant smile, choosing to let his actions speak for him. Two hammers appeared in his hands in a flash of golden light. Then he struck down.
A series of booms reverberated throughout the room, pleasantly surprising Tang Wulin.
Last time he had been fortunate to forge his thousand refined hammers to spirit refined, but hadn't had the chance to test them out yet. This single strike, however, was all he needed to determine the wonders his spirit refined hammers.
