Mu Xi kept watching coldly from the side. Although she was displeased with this person who was younger than her but received more attention, she had to admit that the other party's temperament and cultivation were better than hers. If it were her, taking the third-level exam would definitely take more time to calm her mind. After all, a thousand temperings and a hundred temperings are not the same concept at all. Without true integration and understanding, it is fundamentally impossible to complete them.

The examiner said: “For the Level Three Blacksmith assessment, there is only one requirement: the Thousand Forges. You can choose any metal to complete the Thousand Forges. The completion level of the Thousand Forges, as well as the difficulty of the metal you choose, will determine your final score.”

"Yes!" Tang Wulin respectfully replied, turning to the metal rack beside him.

Assessment, must pass!

He only glanced around and scooped up the piece of heavy silver on top.

Among rare metals, he was most familiar with silver ore, which was also his first piece of thousand-forged work. Although in terms of quality, the forging difficulty of this rare metal was more difficult than many metals, Tang Wulin, through several focused immersions, had become very proficient in the structure of silver ore and the way to communicate with it.

Seeing that he had taken out silver from the anvil, Mu Chen and Cen Yue were both surprised. Mu Xi's eyes flashed with anger. This guy was too arrogant! Silver Even a fourth-grade blacksmith wouldn't dare to forge thousands of silver ingots successfully every time. This was an extremely rare and difficult-to-forge metal!

The assessor kindly reminded, "Tang Wulin, are you sure you want to choose this one Although you refined silver during your Hundred Forges, I must remind you that Thousand Forges and Hundred Forges are completely different. It's not just a difference in quantity, but the process of imbuing metal with a soul. You should think carefully."

"I'm sure." Tang Wulin said calmly, but his gaze remained fixed on the silver before him.

Skilled, Tang Wulin placed the silver card on the forging platform. It sank, burned, and warmed. Tang Wulin's own breath began to adjust slightly.

At this moment, everything outside had faded away. In his eyes, there was only the piece of silver on the forge.

He could seem to hear the burning silver drawing in some heavy breaths, feel its heart longing for strength, much like his own.

Tempered a thousand times, forged into steel. A thousand temperings, a soul refined.

Tang Wulin spread his hands on both sides of his body, and two dim lights appeared. Two thousand-forged silver hammers fell into his grasp.

After days of forging, this double-headed hammer, forged in blood, had already become part of him. The spiral patterns on the handle fit perfectly with his palm, a feeling of perfect fusion.

Mu Chen and Cen Yue, with their sharp eyesight, both froze when he drew out the silver hammer.

How could they not know the weight of silver imbued with such depth It must be at least a hundred-forged silver hammer, capable of being used as such. The weight of these hammers was unimaginable. Yet, in Tang Wulin's hands, they felt light as a feather.

Holding two hammers, Tang Wulin silently felt the breath coming from the silver being forged by the Blazing Hammer. Suddenly, he lightly tapped the forging platform button with his right hammer, and the silver piece, already burned to a dark red, slowly rose.

Without a prelude, Tang Wulin swung his left hammer out.

“Ding, ding, ding!” Three sharp sounds echoed throughout the forge. The deafening roar, almost a rhythmic hammering, sent sparks flying from the silver being heated, and equally, sparks flew from the hearts of Mu Chen and Cen Yue, the two master blacksmiths.

A hammer... It actually has the effect of a hammering technique. A thousand forges The heavy silver hammer in his hand is a thousand forged How much does that weigh

How great is his power

While they were stunned on the spot, Tang Wulin's right hammer had already swung out.

"Bang, bang, bang!" came three more booming sounds.

Then, Tang Wulin swung his Blood-Sacrificed Thousand Forged Silver Hammer like a raging storm, smashing it towards the silver ingot before him.

Here's the text translated into English:

His arms swung, and the entire forge rumbled and vibrated with each blow. Yet he stood firm as a mountain, his gaze unwavering. In his eyes, there was only the silver reflection of his hammering and utter focus.

The familiar sounds of silver being forged captivated him, his attention solely on the rhythmic clang of each hammer blow, a song of creation. With every strike, impurities were purged, and the metal within grew more unified, a harmonious whole taking shape.

Under the powerful hammer effect of the blood-forged silver hammer, this piece of silver was shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Tang Wulin's silver hammer was extremely heavy. Coupled with the superimposed hammer effect, a single blow was almost equivalent to the effect of ten hammers from a thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer.

To ensure the success of this exam, he could no longer afford to worry about much else. Only this pair of silver hammers could unleash his true potential.

Mu Xi was stunned after Tang Wulin swung his three hammers.

As the daughter of a generation saint artisan, how could she not know what hammering meant And the effect of the forging hammers falling on the silver was enough to show the weight of the forging hammers themselves. As for Tang Wulin, his control over these forging hammers had already reached the level of effortless command. How much strength would it take to achieve this

Ironically, he had once even tried to challenge him to a forging contest in the academy. How could he possibly compare to the mastery he displayed before his eyes The understanding of silver and control over power were beyond anything he could achieve.

A solid block of silver, under Tang Wulin's hammering like a tempestuous storm yet as steady as a mountain, gradually shrank. The silvery glow on the silver faded, replaced by swirling patterns of deep, profound clouds.

Tang Wulin's heart was still, as tranquil as water. At this moment, all other emotions were cast aside by him. Only when he devoted himself wholeheartedly to forging would he enter such a state. His spirit was one with the metal before him, forging not only it but also his own mental strength.

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding……” Each hammer blow was as fast as the last, each blow as heavy as the last. Yet with every strike, it landed perfectly. There was no need to pause or adjust. A pair of silver hammers, forged a thousand times, were like two balls of silver light, enveloping the piece of silver and constantly squeezing, condensing, compressing, and refining it.

It had already been over three months since Qian Ren Xue could have performed the Thousand Refinements. Over these three months, this was Tang Wulin's first attempt to try it again.

After three months of diligent cultivation, three months of refining one's soul power and mastering one's own strength, three months of growth, all of it was released in this forging.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The final blow was delivered with the right fist. After three thunderous booms echoed, the chunk of silver had shrunk by a third. The crimson hue almost vanished at the same time, replaced by dark, swirling clouds that seemed about to burst forth.

Tang Wulin's forehead and body were covered in sweat. His hands, holding the Silver Hammer, slightly waved, releasing force before turning into two beams of light that were absorbed into the bracelets on his wrists.

The ringing of metal being hammered still echoed in the room, otherwise the forge was silent.

It's too fast, simply too fast! From the start of forging to the end, it only took half the time. That's lead silver! A piece of such dense lead silver has already been forged a thousand times.

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

The assessor didn't even need to approach it. With her experience, she could give this piece of thousand-forged silver a perfect score right away. The ubiquitous dark cloud patterns had already become discernible

"Double hammers. Such fine double hammers. Mang really knows how to invest." Cen Yue exclaimed in admiration.

But Mu Chen's eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin, watching the focus in his eyes gradually fade away.

"These two silver hammers, you forged them yourself, didn't you" Mu Chen asked.

"Hmm." Tang Wulin nodded. But after making a sound, he regretted it, but it was too late. His just-now focus had left him without much thinking ability.

Mu Chen smiled, "Only by forging it with your own blood can it be perfectly suited. Congratulations, from this moment on, you are a level three blacksmith."

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

No need for the assessor to give a score, in fact, the assessor can't. Such a thousand tempering is even enough to pass as a basic assessment for a fourth-grade blacksmith. It only needs other skill assessments to be completed.

Of course, being assessed as a Level 4 blacksmith isn't just about forging one type of metal a thousand times. You need to continuously forge three different association-standard metals for a thousand times each, and shape them into specified forms only then will you pass. With Tang Wulin's current strength and soul power, he still can't do it.

Letting out a breath, Tang Wulin blushed slightly as he said to Mu Chen, “Thank you, President.”

Mu Chen smiled faintly: "No need to thank me, you weren't cultivated by the association. Everything you have is thanks to your own hard work. I'm glad you're in Donghai City. From now on, you are a third-level blacksmith, that is, a master-level blacksmith. Although I don't want you to be proud because of this, I still have to tell you, you are the youngest third-level blacksmith in mainland history."

Tang Wulin was stunned, and only then did he understand why his teacher had always been unwilling to let him take the third-level assessment.

Mu Chen said: "As the owner of this honor, the East China Sea City branch will also be honored by you. If you need any help from the association, the association will help you to the best of its ability."

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, then raised his head again. His eyes were now filled with determination. "Chairman, I want to apply for a loan from the association. I don't know if that's possible"

Mu Chen was not surprised by his words. He had long guessed that Tang Wulin's visit at this time must have a purpose.

"What's the reason for the loan"

Tang Wulin clenched his fists, "I need to get stronger. I need to buy some things to improve myself. So I need money."

Mu Chen said, "Could you tell me what you're looking to buy Our association still has some channels in Donghai City. Perhaps we can save you some expenses."

Tang Wulin was taken aback for a moment, then said: "A hundred-year Ice Crystal Fruit, a hundred-year Red Flame Fruit, and ten drops of blood from a soul beast with dragon lineage that is a hundred years old."

The moment he stepped out of the college dining hall, he had a daring idea.

With his, Xie Xun, and Gu Yue's combined strength, they were clearly no match for the three Second Ring Soul Masters in Class One. However, if he could absorb some of the Golden Dragon King's essence and control that powerful force, perhaps even causing his own spirit to mutate, there might be a chance.

He wishes so much that he could become stronger and not hold his teammates back!

A week's time, if he became a level three blacksmith and completed the mission with all his might, perhaps he could earn about the same amount of money. A level three blacksmith should have more privileges in the Association, so he applied for a loan.

He is going to absorb the essence of King Golden Dragon and participate in this most important promotion match with his partners!

Mucen looked at him with deep eyes, "The spirit fruit could have a reverse effect on the body. Do you know that"

Tang Wulin said: "I know. I'm sure of it."

Mu Chen nodded. "Okay, the association will get you these three things. As for their value, you can offset it with the mission."

Tang Wulin looked at Mu Chen, and at this moment, he only felt a flame rising in his heart!

The first graders in class one, wait for me!tely extraordinary!"Teacher, what is it" Tang Wulin's address also surprised everyone, but this wasn't the right time to ask questions. 。"It seems like a horde of Demon Soul Great White Sharks, an ex...
