Secretly Learning the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer

In the familiar blacksmith shop, Lin Xuan stood among the blacksmiths holding two small hammers, looking utterly out of place.

The other blacksmiths all forged with a single hammer, but he worked with both hands at once.

Although he had only been working for a few days, the skill Lin Xuan displayed already far surpassed that of ordinary blacksmiths.

As a result, his status had gradually risen as well.

The only thing that displeased Lin Xuan was that the minerals were too ordinary.

Unlike Douluo Dalu 3, mineral extraction in Douluo Dalu 1 had not reached a satisfactory standard.

The iron in the blacksmith shop was all ordinary iron ore, copper ore, and the like. Rare Metals were simply too scarce.

After forging for so many days, he had merely been hammering iron.

With ironworking techniques twenty thousand years ahead of this era, Lin Xuan quickly mastered Ten Refinements and was now advancing toward Hundred Refinements.

His Forging Skills already ranked above average in this blacksmith shop.

Every time he forged, Lin Xuan gave it his all, both to improve his Forging Skills and to improve his control over his strength.

Although the Tang Wulin Template could only synchronize the memories of Tang Wulin at the same age as him, he could practice the techniques himself.

In this regard, he could gain the benefit of one plus one being greater than two.

It was also to adapt to his ever-increasing strength.

His strength increased slightly almost every day.

It was nearly a pound of strength per day.

Though it was only a pound, if used properly, it could still be a formidable weapon.

"Boss, are you still hiring here?"

Just as Lin Xuan was tempering himself alongside an Iron Ingot, a familiar voice reached him.

It nearly caused Lin Xuan's hammer to strike crookedly.

Was Tang San some kind of cockroach?

He had recovered again already?

Lin Xuan raised his head toward the source of the voice and happened to meet Tang San's eyes.

Tang San had not expected to encounter Lin Xuan here either.

But after considering Lin Xuan's status, he accepted it. He was merely a Dirt Eater lowlife, and such a big eater at that. If he did not come out to find work, he probably could not even solve his own food problem.

Still, Innate Divine Strength was indeed a fine path for ironworking.

"You're also planning to work at our blacksmith shop?

You're from Nuoding Academy too?"

While Tang San was still sizing Lin Xuan up, the Boss of the blacksmith shop walked out with a look of surprise.

How strange. There had certainly been a lot of strange things this year.

"Yes, my family runs a blacksmith shop in our village. I'm a New Student at Nuoding Academy."

Tang San withdrew his gaze. He would not leave just because Lin Xuan was here.

There was only one blacksmith shop in all of Nuoding City. If he left, he could only buy blacksmithing equipment himself.

That would cost a great deal of money.

Besides, to accomplish great things, one had to Endure What Others Cannot.

And he wanted to show Lin Xuan that he might not match him physically, but when it came to ironworking, his Tang Family was the professional one!

"Oh, another blacksmith family.

Come and try. If you can forge, staying here won't be a problem."

With Lin Xuan's example before him, the Boss did not look down on Tang San and immediately had him demonstrate his Forging Ability.

Lin Xuan also turned his gaze over.

Tang San had used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer during his first forging session to show off.

The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer might emphasize Borrow Strength to Strike.

Everyone knew that much, but how to receive the force and how to strike with it were not so simple.

Lin Xuan had made some guesses and even worked out a few theories in his mind, but he had never truly put them into practice.

Out of caution, he could not bring out something he had never encountered before.

Before he possessed absolute means of self-preservation, he did not want to stand out too much.

Tang San was just like that. Purple Demon Eye and Mysterious Jade Hand were used freely enough, but he could not explain where those abilities had come from at all.

But Tang San demonstrating the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer now was his only chance to come into contact with it.

Even if he used a similar Combat Style in the future, he could pin it on Tang San.

You failed to hide it, I saw it, and then I learned it. It wasn't as though I secretly learned it on my own.

Thinking of that, Lin Xuan felt a surge of excitement.

Noticing that Lin Xuan was looking at him too, Tang San could not help lifting his chin.

In his view, Lin Xuan's Dual Hammer Style forging method was truly neither fish nor fowl.

When it came to forging, the Tang Family was still the best.

He immediately stopped concealing anything. He exerted force through his calves, transferred it to his waist, and finally into his arms.

Tang San directly used the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer at full strength, hammering the red-hot iron block.

He was more serious than he had ever been before.

His movements were as standard as military drill, as if he were deliberately showing off.

Lin Xuan joined the commotion from the side, staring wide-eyed as he firmly committed Tang San's movements to memory.

At the same time, he continuously incorporated his own understanding, integrating it into something that belonged to him.

One hammer, two hammers...

Tang San's expression was exceptionally serious, and his focus had never been sharper.

The rhythmic bangs of hammering linked together without pause.

Twenty-Nine Hammers. Whether it was because Tang San had performed beyond his usual limits or for some other reason, no one knew.

In the Original Work, Tang San had only managed Twenty-Seven Hammers, yet this time, he directly reached Twenty-Nine Hammers.

But after the final hammer fell, Tang San seemed completely drained and nearly collapsed onto the ground.

Before he could fall, however, Shi San, the Boss of the blacksmith shop, hurriedly supported him and lavished him with praise.

The truth proved that the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was not some secret technique. Its method of exerting force was simply too unusual, and ordinary blacksmiths did not understand its mysteries.

Yet even without knowing its core principles, they still knew that the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer was a technique of Borrow Strength to Strike.

Surrounded by the crowd, Tang San smiled as he listened to the blacksmiths' flattery.

He even turned to look at Lin Xuan. He wanted Lin Xuan to know that when it came to ironworking, Tang San was the professional.

But Lin Xuan had already completely immersed himself in calculating the Chaotic Cape Style.

He did not glance at Tang San at all.

Tang San was then successfully hired by the blacksmith shop and given the same treatment as Lin Xuan.

After all, he possessed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.

But that was all. Tang San could not use the Chaotic Cape Style to forge every piece of iron.

His stamina could not keep up.

After receiving blacksmith clothing and a hammer, Tang San was assigned to a forging station near Lin Xuan's.

Looking at the absent-minded Lin Xuan, Tang San felt immensely pleased with himself.

See that? This is the gap between us. You're dumbfounded now, aren't you?

Yet although he thought so, Tang San's gaze drifted toward the two Tungsten Steel Hammers in Lin Xuan's hands.

I still want them so badly.

If he wants to learn forging from me, wouldn't that be the perfect time to ask him for one?

No, how could one be enough? Keeping them in his hands is such a waste. Only by following me, Tang San, can they serve their true purpose.

But just as Tang San was still indulging in his fantasies, Lin Xuan, who had been connecting the knowledge in his mind all along, suddenly moved.
