Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night

He possessed top-tier forging skills, but no one could inherit his legacy. However, he saw in Jiang Xiu the hope of breaking through to become a master craftsman, perhaps even surpassing the legendary master craftsman...

As Zhenhua's voice fell, Jiang Xiu took a deep breath, and the huge golden hammer danced up and down in Jiang Xiu's hand, like two ferocious golden dragons, biting straight towards the deep sea silver.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A series of crisp metal collision sounds rang out, and dazzling fireworks splashed. The golden hammer shadows overlapped layer by layer, like a sealed wind wall, constantly bombarding the deep sea silver.

Under the blow of the Kanjin Hammer, the wave-like patterns on the deep-sea silver instantly undulated, constantly changing back and forth, forming unique metal lines.

Zhenhua looked at the scene in front of him, stroking his long beard with his hand, staring closely at the forging table.

Deep-sea silver, a rare metal, is difficult to forge. The main reason is its unique internal and external structure. Before it is compressed by thousands of forgings, it is constantly changing. If it is not struck properly, the entire metal will be scrapped.

To reach the second grade after a thousand forgings is almost as difficult as forging an ordinary rare metal into the first grade after a thousand forgings. However, the standard that Zhenhua gave to Jiang Xiu at this moment was to forge this piece of metal into the first grade after a thousand forgings.

Thousand Forging does not mean simply hammering a thousand times, but rather removing all impurities from the metal through continuous forging and increasing its density. The greatest effect of Thousand Forging is to sublime the metal.

"Are you still speeding up? How arrogant! But I like it."

As Jiang Xiu hammered violently, the deep-sea silver continued to shrink, and the impurities inside the metal were constantly removed, but the metal patterns on it also changed more quickly.

But Jiang Xiu's hammering speed did not slow down at all, but became even faster. Each hammer hit the changing patterns of the metal just right, as if this piece of deep-sea silver had already been seen through by Jiang Xiu and was constantly changing into his shape.

"Clang clang clang!"

At this moment, Jiang Xiu's eyes darkened, and the Kanjin Hammer in his hand suddenly seemed to ignite a raging fire. As Jiang Xiu hammered down, three golden afterimages appeared, and each blow was stronger than the last.

This is exactly what Jiang Xiu did when he triggered the Kanjin Hammer's stacking hammer strike effect.

Time passed bit by bit, and with Jiang Xiu's continuous hammering, the volume of the deep-sea silver had become one-fourth of its original size, and the surface gradually became brighter, with gorgeous cloud patterns appearing.

Jiang Xiu's breathing was also consistent with the metal. With every hammer strike, a halo of light would burst out from the deep-sea silver, and then retract into the metal body again.

"clang!"

As a buzzing sound was heard, a six-foot golden light suddenly gushed out from the deep-sea silver.

"Qianduan has spirit! Xiaoxiu did it!"

Zhenhua looked at this scene and felt a little excited. In the entire Douluo Continent, the record holder for the Thousand Forgings of the First Rank was exactly eleven years, three months and two days old.

This year, Jiang Xiu just turned ten years old, and he has once again broken the record of the entire continent!

"No, why hasn't Xiaoxiu stopped yet?"

Just when Zhenhua was excited, he saw that the Kanjin Hammer in Jiang Xiu's hand was still being raised and dropped, rhythmically hitting the Deep Sea Silver.

And with Jiang Xiu's attack, the sound emitted by the entire piece of deep-sea silver was no longer dull, but instead had a faint sense of excitement, as if it was welcoming a new life.

"This...is this a step towards Grandmaster level?!"

Chapter 28: Half-step Spiritual Refining, Reserve Grandmaster, Na'er's Request

"Using the mind as a hammer, the martial soul as a guide, the mind and spirit are united, forging all living things. Xiao Xiu is heading towards the level of spiritual forging!"

Zhenhua's eyes were full of shock. He looked around, wanting to find someone to tell about his excitement at the moment, but in order not to disturb Jiang Xiu who was already in the mood, he had to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.

And spiritual forging is the symbol of a master blacksmith!

"Does this metal have some special quirks? Why does it get happier the more Jiang Xiu hits it?"

Na'er felt the changes between the person and the metal, and whispered thoughtfully.

"Na'er, the most important thing for you right now is to throw away those novels that are poisoning your brain!"

Hearing Naer's whisper, Zhenhua glared at her fiercely. Naer chuckled and scratched her head embarrassedly.

But soon, the movement of the Kanjin Hammer in Jiang Xiu's hand gradually slowed down, his breathing became a little faster, and sweat seeped out of his body, seeping through his white tights. Jiang Xiu's well-defined muscles could be vaguely seen.

"clang!"

As the last hammer fell, Jiang Xiu stopped swinging his arms, and the Deep Sea Silver on the table let out a wail, and then the blue halo was completely retracted into its body.

"Huh! Still a little off..."

Looking at the metal in front of him, Jiang Xiu said with regret that he had previously entered a special state of spiritual forging and felt a hint of opportunity, but in the end, something was still missing.

"Clap clap clap!"

Zhenhua waved his hands, looked at Jiang Xiu with admiration, and said with a smile of great relief.

"Very good, Xiaoxiu. Your performance far exceeded my expectations. This piece of metal has already reached the half-step spiritual forging level. I see that you have also touched the opportunity for spiritual forging. With more practice, you will definitely be able to achieve it soon!"

"Teacher, I will definitely do better next time. It's a pity that I couldn't successfully imbue this piece of metal with spirit."

Jiang Xiu said with a sigh, and spiritual forging is to give metal a soul, so that it can be closely integrated with the soul master.

"Jiang Xiu...you, you, please don't make such a big leap, okay? You make me look stupid."

Na'er came to Jiang Xiu, threw a white handkerchief to Jiang Xiu to wipe his sweat, then hugged him with her arms and hummed softly. She was now eager to find a word to describe Jiang Xiu's invisible pretense.

The most hateful thing is that Jiang Xiu actually pretended to be right!

"Na'er, what are you blabbering about? It's your turn now. If you don't complete the Thousand Forgings, second level, you won't be allowed to eat your favorite oranges for a month."

Zhenhua frowned. Naer, this little girl, always interrupted him when he was happy. Then he took out a piece of heavy silver and placed it on the table.

"No, I'll just forge it."

The corners of Naer's mouth curled downwards, and then she walked towards the forging table, but when Naer just walked to the forging table, her whole body instantly entered a special state.

With a flash of silver light, two small silver hammers suddenly appeared in his hands. A hint of silver light flashed in the bottom of his purple eyes, and faint rays of light lit up on the small hammers.

"My super intelligence tells me that now is the time to use my super strength!"

Naer whispered in her heart, and instantly swung the silver hammer in her hand, smashing it on the sunken silver like a nimble silver dragon. Although the force was small, the speed was incredibly fast.

The sound of jingling suddenly rang out.

Zhenhua nodded with satisfaction. Although Na'er was a little lazy at times, her talent was undeniable.

Soon, half an hour passed quietly, and a piece of Thousand Forged Second Grade Sunken Silver appeared on the table.

"Exhausted!"

Naer put away the silver hammer and spoke weakly, as if she had lost all her means and strength.

This made Zhenhua's eyes go dark. Although he was a master craftsman and cultivation was not his forte, he still had the cultivation level of a Titled Douluo. He could tell at a glance that Na'er still had some strength left, but she just didn't use it.

"Forget it, it's good that Na'er can keep up with Xiaoxiu's pace."

Zhenhua comforted himself in his heart, then took out two badges with blue background and silver bars and put them in front of Jiang Xiu and Na'er respectively.

"Today, I declare you officially fourth-level blacksmiths. I hope you two can continue to move forward."

Zhenhua said solemnly, there were four silver bars on the blue badge.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. It was just luck."

Naer waved her hand and said, the minimum requirement for a fourth-level blacksmith is Thousand Forgings Level 2, which she just met.

"You better be."

Zhenhua nodded at Naer and then continued to give instructions.

"Next, I will be returning to the Blacksmith Association for a while. You two must not slack off. You must not fall behind in forging and training. After all, if you want to become a higher-level blacksmith, the support of cultivation is indispensable."

"We understand!"

Jiang Xiu and Na'er said in unison.

"Well, I'll be leaving now. By the way, Xiao Xiu, your master has to go to the ocean for something, so I'll let you know. You can make your own arrangements for the next month."

Zhenhua just took a step to walk out, and seemed to think of something, and said to Jiang Xiu.

"Okay, teacher. Take care."

Jiang Xiu's eyes moved and he spoke softly.

"Well, there's no need to send it away."

Zhenhua nodded slightly, and the moment he turned around, the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK. A ten-year-old half-step grandmaster blacksmith, this is simply horrifying.

"President, please get in the car."

Outside the main sect, a luxurious soul-guided car was parked. When Zhenhua came out, a man immediately came forward to greet him. He was the vice president of the Shrek City Blacksmith Association branch.

"Xiao Sun, how did you know that my disciple has reached the fourth level of Blacksmith?"

Zhenhua said with a rare smile on his face.

Vice President Sun was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself that he didn't ask.

"President, a member of the Qiangu Family has come. I would like you to forge a set of Tianduan four-character battle armor..."

"Oh, Xiao Sun, how did you know that my disciple has reached the fourth level of blacksmithing?"

"..."

……

Within the ontology sect.

When Na'er saw Zhenhua leave, she relaxed instantly. She took out an orange, peeled it and put it in her mouth, and then considerately handed half to Jiang Xiu.

"Boss, if you have time next time, can you go out with me?"

Naer asked expectantly with a gleam in her eyes.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu immediately prepared to return the orange in his hand to Naer. He asked Naer why she didn't protect her food today and gave him half of it. It turned out that she had something to ask of him.

"My little brother Na'er is in trouble, boss, you can't not help me."

Naer pushed the orange back and said pitifully.

"You tell me first."

Jiang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked. He felt that Na'er was indeed a little different today.

"Well, well, how should I put it? My master discovered a genius in the East China Sea and wanted to go there to test his strength, so he planned to take me with him. But since you're my boss, I want you to come with me to show off your skills."

Naer smiled, revealing her white teeth, and stuck out her pink tongue, saying embarrassedly.

"Genius, could it be Gu Yue? I think so. This time period is exactly when Gu Yue appears in the East China Sea. So for the next plan, it is not a bad idea to go there."

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he thought silently in his heart.
