Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 54 Level Blacksmith
"Okay, Xiaotian, these guild leaders are very busy, so we won't waste their precious time."

Zhenhua spoke and began to talk about today's topic.

The fire on the forge had been lit, and the flames raised the temperature of the entire room by several degrees.

Qiangu Qitian came to the forging table, on which three selected metals had already been placed.

Zhenhua led everyone to the observation room. Before leaving, Mu Xi raised her little fist to cheer for Qiangu Qitian.

After the first day he met Qiangu Qitian, Mu Xi never had the idea of ​​surpassing Qiangu Qitian.

She heard from her father Muchen that Qiangu Qitian possessed an extraordinary talent for forging, even surpassing Zhenhua back then.

Zhenhua, he is a master craftsman.

Mu Xi never thought that one day she would be able to become a master craftsman. Her greatest wish was to become an eighth-level blacksmith like her father.

When she heard that Qiangu Qitian had a high probability of becoming a master craftsman in the future, she felt very happy.

Qiangu Qitian responded with a faint smile.

After everyone left, Qiangu Qi Tiancai began to observe the metal placed in front of him, and the smile on his face gradually froze.

"President, are you a little too harsh on your apprentice?"

So many presidents gathered here, but the only one who could be called the president was Zhenhua.

The speaker was the president of the Blacksmith Association from Gengxin City.

The association he is in charge of is also the most economically powerful association in the southern part of Douluo Continent.

There is nothing else to it, just mines.

The metal resources of the original Douluo Continent are not less abundant than those of the Sun and Moon Continent that was later incorporated.

It’s just that the level of exploration and mining in the original Douluo Continent was too low.

After the Federation unified the continent, the metal resources buried underground were mined in large quantities, and the old metal capital burst into vitality again.

Zhenhua said, "If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object. As my disciple, how could you be stumped by such a small difficulty?"

Qiangu Qitian looked at the three pieces of metal in front of him with a twitching mouth, what Zhenhua called "small difficulties".

According to the routine operation of the fourth-level assessment for blacksmiths, one metal should be randomly selected from common metals, intermediate metals and rare metals for thousand forgings.

The common, intermediate and rare here all refer to the difficulty of forging metals, not their practical value.

But what was placed in front of Qiangu Qitian were all rare metals!
Among them, the one with relatively low forging difficulty is called Shenyin.

The remaining two pieces, one is called Star Iron and the other is called Pure Gold.

Not only are the three metals extremely difficult to forge, but they also require the blacksmith to have extremely high control over strength.

After some thought, Qiangu Qitian decided to start with the easy part and then move on to the difficult part, starting with the "simplest" part, the sunken silver.

While the sunken silver was being heated in the furnace, Qiangu Qitian took out two forging hammers from Wushuang.

The body of the forging hammer is scarlet red. Although it is only the size of two fists, each one weighs a terrifying three hundred kilograms.

The metal used for forging hammers is called molten hematite, a metal with fire properties.

It is one of the most suitable metals for fire-attribute soul masters to create mechas and battle armors, and it is also the first high-level rare metal forged by Qiangu Qitian.

As for why it has the attribute of fire...it has to start from the forging on that day of Qiangu Qitian.

When Qiangu Qitian was about to perform the rare metal forging for the first time, Mu Xi looked at him eagerly.

Qiangu Qitian was a little confused, so he asked, "Sister Xi, why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Xi asked pitifully, "Brother Xiaotian, can you choose to melt hematite to perform the first rare metal forging?"

Qiangu Qitian was puzzled, so he listened to Mu Xi continue:

"I want you to help me forge battle armor in the future. My martial soul is Yaoyang, which has the fire attribute."

…Thus, Qiangu Qitian owned the pair of molten red iron forging hammers.

After the blood sacrifice, Qiangu Qitian became the true master of the pair of forging hammers. Not only that, he also gained a forging characteristic - echo.

When the Eternal Hammer strikes down, the shock force of the metal will continuously rebound inside, emitting waves of response, achieving the terrifying effect of one hammer being equal to five hammers.

In the original novel, Tang Wulin's Thousand Forged Silver Hammer also has a similar feature, called the Stacked Hammer.

When a hammer falls, it will have the effect of three hammers of an ordinary forging hammer.

Five minutes later, Qiangu Qitian took out the heavy silver from the furnace and fixed it on the forging table.

Without any preparation, he simply raised the forging hammer and smashed it down, starting his performance.

Every time the hammer falls, a faint golden light will attach to the heavy silver.

These golden lights are not the effect of the number one soul of the ages, nor are they the amplification of the gold element dragon soul, but a way of using his spiritual forging.

Now, he has been able to perfectly control his spiritual forging talent and apply it to every one of his hammers, rather than just going all in on the last one.

There are many benefits to doing this. Not only can it allow him to better master the rhythm of forging, but it can also enhance his understanding of forging.

Dang, Dang, Dang...

As soon as the tenth hammer fell, a layer of metallic luster flashed on the sunken silver.

This is the special effect achieved by forging steel hundreds of times.

"How amazing! At such a young age, he has completed a hundred forgings with only ten hammers! Even more amazing than Zhenhua back then!"

Boyun was a little shocked. After all these years, this was the first time he saw a young man who was more outstanding than Zhenhua.

The faces of the other people were more or less shocked, and they couldn't help but sigh that Zhenhua had accepted a good disciple.

There's nothing we can do, because he's a master craftsman.

Zhenhua was a little unconvinced and said, "Uncle Master, what are you talking about? The forging hammer this kid uses is better than the one I used to use. I only had a four-fold amplification effect back then."

Zhenhua has his own pride in forging.

Even if the future Qiangu Qitian will definitely surpass him, that is a matter of the future.

Now, he is still number one.

Boyun just smiled and didn't refute.

The forging continued. With every hammer strike, the volume of the sunken silver would shrink a little. Metal impurities continued to seep out of the metal, and were then directly turned into ashes by the temperature of the surface of the molten hematite forging hammer.

When the metal reached its critical value, Qiangu Qitian chose the safest forging technique of three consecutive light blows, allowing Chen Yin to complete the thousand forgings in a peaceful state.

After successfully forging the silver, Qiangu Qitian put the Tianxing iron into the furnace to heat and calcine it, and then came back to forge parts.

He didn't plan to leave himself any time to rest.

Based on the metallic properties of Shenyin, Qiangu Qitian forged it into a movable part in the knee joint of the mecha.

This is not a difficult task for Qiangu Qitian.

After completing the casting of the parts, Qiangu Qitian took out the Tianxing Iron without saying a word and followed the same steps as before.

Next is the adamantium...

When the last part of the mecha engine jet nozzle made of pure gold was completed.

Qiangu Qitian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and a huge weight dropped from his heart.

Level 4 blacksmith, done.
