Chapter 424 - Shocking The Divine Blacksmith (2/2)

The hardest part was over! From that point on, it would be smooth sailing.

Every strike of the cloud gold hammers held tremendous power and smashed the two metals closer and closer together. Tang Wulin used each blow to pour both life force and soul power into the metals, was.h.i.+ng them from the inside out. The beam of light that stemmed from the two metals began warp, and the separate colors started intermingling and fusing together.

It was time to start forging the alloy!

The entire crowd collectively gasped. Where did this kid come from? He's actually attempting to forge an alloy! Just how old is he! Not even the President could forge alloys at such a young age! It doesn't look like this is his first time doing this either!

If it were up to the higher ranked blacksmiths, they would have spirit refined the metals then used both to forge an alloy. Yet Tang Wulin chose a different approach. He had jumped right to forging the alloy after thousand refining the metals. In the end, however, he ended up choosing this approach because of his weak soul power. He would deal with spirit refining the metals once they had actually been forged into alloys. This was all for the sake of his one-word battle armor after all. Heavy silver and star iron were needed to forge star silver, an alloy he needed to craft the rest of his one-word battle armor set in the future. To that end, thousand refined metal would be sufficient for the time being. He could think about spirit refining once he was more powerful and skilled. Besides, forging alloys was a walk in the park for him now.

Tang Wulin didn't dare spirit refine the metals because the cloud gold hammers didn't belong to him. He feared that the finished product wouldn't be completely his if he did. He had actually considered spirit refining the alloy as well, but the chances of success weren't too high. Furthermore, his current priority was to learn Zhen Hua's alloy forging technique!

As Zhen Hua watched Tang Wulin a.s.sault the metals like a raging tempest, he subconsciously stepped forward to get a better look at the metals on the table. The heavy silver and star iron gradually fused into one, their resplendent auras merging together as well.

Tang Wulin maintained a steady forging tempo. His upper body never stopped moving, but his lower body remained an unshakeable foundation. He didn't move a single inch from where he stood. Tang Wulin's three soul rings thrummed in the hall, giving off a gentle light that seemed to envelop him.

He's a three-ringed Soul Elder! And all of his rings are purple! No one dared ridicule Tang Wulin now. The gruff blacksmith who had voiced his doubts about Tang Wulin earlier was now staring at the scene before him with a blank expression. He was a third-rank blacksmith in the middle of delving into the mysteries of thousand refining. Tang Wulin, on the other hand, popped out of nowhere and showed off his skill as a fourth-rank blacksmith! I can't believe I was mocking him…

All of Tang Wulin's focus was on the two metals. He stared at them with rapt attention, watching every reaction as they fused. As he hammered away, he brought forth the skymoon powder, sprinkling it over the metals in between strikes. The powder coated the heavy silver and the star iron as they slowly mixed together. The results of this turned out just as Zhen Hua had said they would. The metals became tougher and harder to forge, but the chance of failure drastically decreased.

That was when Tang Wulin began to forge faster. The hardest part about forging an alloy was preserving the spiritual nature of the component metals used. Blacksmiths couldn't let the spirit of the metals die, so they needed to use their spiritual power to protect the metals. Zhen Hua's technique made this part of the process much easier.

And all it required was skymoon powder.

Tang Wulin could sense the profoundness of what was happening with the two metals. It didn't take long before they completely fused into one alloy. The barest hints of a star silver's splendor could now be seen.

But at that moment, Tang Wulin withdrew his soul rings.

Zhen Hua broke out into a cold sweat. Did his soul power run out?

But then a golden soul ring appeared, and he sensed Tang Wulin's blood essence go wild.
