Douluo Continent, My Talents from Three Worlds Complement Each Other
Chapter 47 Forging, Zhenhua's Surprise
Following Zhenhua's footsteps, Jiang Yi arrived at a forging room downstairs.
Inside the forging room, there were many parts and metals.
Zhenhua directly selected ten types of metal from a pile.
"Xiao Yi, I made an agreement with your teacher before you came. If you can complete the hundred-fold forging of one of the ten metals I selected, I will take you as my apprentice," Zhenhua said directly.
When Mu Ye told him that he wanted to take Jiang Yi as his apprentice, Zhen Hua had investigated Jiang Yi's background and confirmed that it was indeed Jiang Yi's first time learning forging.
After confirming this, the only question is whether Jiang Yi was able to achieve the Hundred Refinements skill on his first attempt?
He had seen people who could achieve the hundredfold refinement on their first try before.
However, those people were all highly skilled in cultivation and had very high levels of spiritual power.
After a long period of time, their control over power has reached a state of perfection, and for these people, the hundredfold forging is naturally a piece of cake.
However, this does not necessarily mean that they have exceptional forging talent.
Jiang Yi is young and has never been exposed to forging before. If he can truly complete a hundred forgings on his first attempt, then he will be a true genius.
Looking at the metal that Zhenhua had laid out in front of him, he had seen all of it on the tree, and there were even a few that he had personally forged yesterday.
Jiang Yi picked up a piece of sunken silver and chose it as the metal for forging.
"Take these two forging hammers and use them for now." Zhenhua thoughtfully took out a pair of heavy silver hammers, the weight of which was just right.
Clearly, Makino told Zhenhua everything that happened yesterday.
Picking up the forging hammer, Jiang Yi went to the forging table and began to adjust his state.
His eyes lit up with golden light as he focused intently on the piece of silver.
The hundred-times-forged metal didn't need to be in this position, so focused, because it was planning to try a thousand-times-forged one.
Yesterday, he had already tried forging eight different metals in Lin Ming's studio.
Each time, it is completed in one go, and the purity is extremely high. If the metals forged by the hundred refinements were also graded, then what he forged would definitely be grade one.
In this situation, Jiang Yi consulted Lin Ming about the knowledge of Thousand Forging, and also learned a lot through books.
The biggest difference between a thousand forgings and a hundred forgings is that a thousand forgings requires a certain understanding of the metal, or rather, a communication with the metal.
In the forging process, the metal must be treated as a living organism. Only by gaining the metal's approval and discovering its mysteries and textures can the forging process be truly completed.
After being forged a thousand times, the metal will also exhibit a sublimation effect.
In Jiang Yi's view, the necessary conditions for a thousand forgings were not particularly difficult.
For a typical blacksmith to truly communicate with metal, they must undergo a long period of forging and become extremely familiar with the metal before they can achieve this.
But for Jiang Yi, this is not necessary.
His spiritual power reached 1,300 points, which was not far from the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.
This mental energy is also quite helpful for higher-level forging.
This is of great help to the thousand-fold forging process, because he can control every slight change in the forging process.
If you can do that, then ordinary thousand-fold forging is no problem at all.
As for higher levels of forging, it still requires time to comprehend.
However, for Jiang Yi, a beginner, to be able to complete the Thousand Forging so quickly is already enough to shock anyone.
Seeing Jiang Yi so focused, Zhenhua nodded secretly in approval.
For blacksmiths, focus is a very important ability.
The next second, Jiang Yi raised his twin hammers with a fierce motion, and the sound of "clanging" was deafening. His twin hammers swung out like lightning, striking the piece of heavy silver.
With each hammer blow, Jiang Yi could sense the properties of the metal from the rebounding hammer.
Then his body, based on its characteristics, began to adjust at an astonishing speed.
Speed, force, and hammer placement all began to change rapidly within a second, transforming into the hammering method most suitable for this piece of metal.
This scene also amazed Zhenhua.
Such a rapid and accurate adjustment ability was something he had never seen before, even with his extensive experience.
Moreover, this is someone who has only been involved in forging for a day.
He completely believed Mu Ye's words; Jiang Yi was absolutely capable of completing the Hundred Refinements.
Jiang Yi's twin hammers moved like the wind, and in less than forty minutes, he had already delivered a hundred blows.
The impurities in this piece of sunken silver have been completely removed.
A smile appeared on Zhenhua's face. Jiang Yi had completed the hundred-fold tempering and had passed the test.
Moreover, it is a test that exceeds expectations. For a metal like smelting silver to undergo a hundred forgings is several times more difficult than for other metals.
The fact that Jiang Yi was able to complete the hundred-fold forging in such a short time and achieve such a high degree of purity is already proof of his abilities.
Having witnessed Jiang Yi's talent, Zhenhua was naturally eager to take him on as a disciple.
Ever since he learned that Mu Chen had a genius disciple like Tang Wulin, he had always wanted to take on a disciple with exceptional talent to inherit his mantle.
She even called Mu Chen, hoping he would give Tang Wulin to her, but unfortunately, she didn't succeed.
"Junior Brother Mu Chen, I now have a genius disciple too," Zhen Hua thought to himself with pride.
He lost to Mu Chen in matters of women, but perhaps he can win back some ground by taking on a disciple.
Just as he was feeling smug, he discovered that Jiang Yi, who had already completed the hundred-fold forging, had not stopped, but continued to hammer the heavy silver.
Jiang Yi continued hammering and forging with both hands, quickly learning about the properties of the metal.
His eyes shone with golden light, capturing every change in his gaze.
"This child is a thousand-times-forged cultivator." Zhenhua couldn't help but show shock in his eyes.
The difficulty of a thousand forgings is incomparable to that of a hundred forgings.
Most blacksmiths need at least five years to learn the Thousand Forging technique, and even genius blacksmiths need at least three years.
Is Jiang Yi already going to try the Thousand Forging technique on only his second day?
"Can it really succeed?" Zhenhua wondered with some anticipation.
Unaware of what Zhenhua was thinking, Jiang Yi was completely absorbed in forging at this moment.
Feeling the metal's feedback and its timely response made him truly feel that the metal seemed to have come to life.
Intense flames erupted as the hammer fell continuously, its clanging sounds ringing out rhythmically, like a perfect symphony.
Time ticked by, and Zhenhua, watching Jiang Yi still swinging his hammer inside, couldn't help but feel a sense of tension.
He was a master craftsman who had undergone countless forgings and seen countless people undergo forgings, but he had never been as nervous as he was this time.
Because standing before him was perhaps the most talented blacksmith in the history of the blacksmithing world.
