At first glance, this pair of thousand-forged silver hammers appears unremarkable, dull and commonplace, like any ordinary blacksmith's hammer. But upon closer inspection, one discovers a network of wave-like dark patterns that cover every inch of the hammerhead and handle. Within these patterns seems to lie an inexhaustible well of power.

The handle has a spiral pattern winding down, narrowing to a spherical end that tapers into a sharp tip.

It took three whole days, painstakingly forging it piece by piece. The process was incredibly rewarding, with a feeling of deep connection that made the work go faster. Even so, it still took this long to truly finish it.

"Go on, see what its thousand forging effect is like." Meng toward Tang Wulin said, in this master-level blacksmith's eyes, even a look of anticipation appeared.

"Hmm." Tang Wulin nodded, holding a thousand-forged, heavy silver hammer in each hand.

After being forged, a series of measurements were taken. The left hammer weighs one hundred and fifty-two kilograms, and the right hammer weighs one hundred and sixty-six kilograms. Don't be fooled by the size of this pair of hammers, but their weight can definitely be described as amazing.

Tang Wulin grasped the spiraled hammer handle, and in an instant, he felt his soul power surge within him. In that moment, a connection was established between him and the heavy hammers.

Although Tang Wulin's power has increased, he is still not powerful enough to forge this pair of hammers on his own. He is only nine years old, and even his godly power has its limitations.

But when the feeling of kinship came over him, the sledgehammers noticeably felt lighter. With his soul power injected into them, he was finally able to lift them steadily.

A piece of pre-prepared metal rose from the forging furnace. Tang Wulin's eyes narrowed, becoming instantly focused. He habitually tapped the metal with his left hammer lightly.

"Ding, ding, ding!" three crisp sounds rang out.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Tang Wulin was stunned, while Mang's pupils contracted instantly.

"Try again." Meng almost said it impatiently.

Tang Wulin again used his left hand hammer to lightly tap.

"Ding, ding, ding" came three crisp sounds. Yet he had only lightly touched the metal once with his left hammer.

"Strike with all your might!" Mang roared in a deep voice.

Tang Wulin's right hammer swung almost continuously, smashing heavily onto the metal.

“Ding, ding, ding!” The three crisp sounds rose almost instantly. This time, because the amplitude was large, Tang Wulin and Mang could clearly see that in the instant when the hammer struck, two afterimages were pulled out behind the Qianjin Heavy Silver Hammer, and the two roars afterward were caused by them.

"This is..." Tang Wulin looked at Meng with a face full of confusion.

Mang was stunned, speechless. "Stacked hammer effect,"

"Teacher, what is a hammer"

Mang looked at him, his eyes becoming strange. "You, you're practically a monster! Even I have never forged a hammer with the overlapping hammering effect."

After a few hurried breaths to calm his racing heart, Meng felt a surge of excitement. Although he had vaguely sensed that Tang Wulin's first Thousand Forge might have some impressive effects, he hadn't expected them to be this extraordinary.

The reason why the first thousand-forged piece crafted by a blacksmith undergoes a blood sacrifice is primarily because the first work often exhibits excellent special effects. The blood sacrifice connects the metal with the blacksmith's bloodline, pushing the special effects to their peak. Therefore, the vast majority of blacksmiths' first thousand-forged pieces are their own forging hammers, accompanying them throughout their lives.

Tang Wulin was a clever child, he immediately understood that when the teacher took out the piece of silver, he had already prepared to give it to him. He wasn't sure how much the silver was worth, but it was definitely valuable. Especially after refining, such a large complete piece of silver.

Meng continued, "Within the Thousand Forging Effects, there are some particularly extraordinary effects. But even these extraordinary effects can only be perfectly displayed on suitable forms. As I mentioned before, Thousand Forging Metal is in its best state only during its first molding. Once reforged into other forms, it will inevitably damage the internal structure, thus affecting its quality. Therefore, the first molding of a Thousand Forging product with a suitable extraordinary effect becomes extremely rare."

Tang Wulin had already understood his teacher's meaning, "You mean, the stacking effect of my Heavy Silver Hammer is an excellent one And it's especially suitable for the Heavy Silver Hammer"

Meng nodded and smiled: "I'm a little jealous of you. Top-notch effects, after the blood sacrifice, only you can use them."

"So-called hammering, is that after a strike, the metal itself will produce a secondary, even tertiary hammer effect through its own resonance. This is your three-hammer layering, also the strongest layering. Simply put, when you refine metal with a hundred forges, at least three layers of hammering can save you half the time. The power of two hammers are 70% and 50% of your initial strength respectively. Once you master the layering effect, then in your future forging, no matter what you forge, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Tang Wulin said, "Is that hammer's special effect easy to control"

"It's not easy to control normally, but since this Thousand Forging Silver Hammer was blood-sacrificed by you and your bloodline is connected, its biggest feature is becoming one with you. Naturally, it's much easier to control."

Blood sacrifice allows for a mystical bloodline connection between a person and metal. This metal can only be forged by themselves, so in a way, blood sacrifice thousand forging is almost exclusive to blacksmiths. Even if you perform a blood sacrifice thousand forging for someone else, allowing them to connect with the metal, they must also possess the ability to forge the finished product themselves.

Therefore, blood sacrifice is not widely applied in the forging world. Forgers themselves are not accustomed to using this method either.

Tang Wulin's bad luck in both his martial soul and spirit seemed to have been made up for in forging. The Thousand Forging Heavy Silver Hammer with the stacking hammer forging effect will undoubtedly make his path as a blacksmith smoother in the future.

"You must practice hard and control the double hammer as soon as possible," Mang said in a deep voice. "Also, try not to use this pair of forging hammers in front of others. The world of blacksmiths is just as competitive. Such an exquisite blood sacrifice forging hammer, before you are capable enough to protect yourself, do not reveal it easily, understand"

Tang Wulin nodded vaguely. He only knew that his teacher did this for his own good.

"Here, take this." Mang raised his hand, and two metal rings appeared in his palm. These two rings also looked rather dull, forged from thousand-tempered silver just like the other one.ng's sword light, it instantly dissipated. Both the heat and the flames seemed to be destroyed by that single strike. 。Tang Wulin almost cheered out loud. This was the true strength! He couldn't even...
