The Continent's Foremost Blacksmith Association
Huo Yuhao's single hammer strike revealed the vast difference in their abilities.
The difference was no longer just a short distance; it was like heaven and earth.
Therefore, even though Huo Yuhao was just a teenager, the three presidents no longer held him in the slightest contempt.
At this moment, their eyes no longer shone with doubt and dissatisfaction, but with shock, curiosity, and a long-lost, pure thirst for knowledge, like that of students and apprentices when they first saw their master demonstrate his skills.
For Huo Yuhao, Hundred Refinement is merely a small test, nothing to boast about.
He paused briefly, not even glancing at the fascinating expressions on the faces of the three guild leaders, but simply adjusted his breathing, raised the Forging Hammer with his left hand, and once again slammed it down on the still-reddening piece of Deep Silver on the anvil.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Huo Yuhao swung the hammers alternately with both hands, his movements fluid and without the slightest pause or hesitation, the two Forging Hammer drawing graceful arcs in the air.
After only three more hammer blows, the piece of Deep Silver on the anvil suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light, and a five-foot-long silver-white beam of light shot into the sky from the metal surface.
Zhu Wen, Qu Tong, and Lin Zhiyuan all widened their eyes again, their pupils contracting sharply under the silver light.
Forging metal to produce a glow? They had lived most of their lives and had never even heard of such a thing, let alone seen it with their own eyes.
In their minds, metal is metal; no matter how it's forged, it only changes shape and hardness—how could it possibly shine?
This is completely beyond their understanding of the word "forging".
If a Forgemaster from ten thousand years in the future were standing here at this moment, he would immediately recognize this light and exclaim in surprise, "Thousand Refinement Spirit, First Grade Realm!"
Huo Yuhao remained oblivious to the fascinating changes in the expressions on the faces of those around him. From the moment the first hammer fell, his entire being was immersed in the forging process.
The Ruyi effect inherent in this pair of Soul Forging Hammer allows them to change the force distribution and vibration frequency when the hammer strikes, according to Huo Yuhao's will.
Huo Yuhao's Spirit Eyes Martial Soul endowed him with far-sighted insight. Once his Divine Power was spread out, he could clearly perceive the details inside the metal.
The Ruyi special effects and the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul are a match made in heaven.
Therefore, watching Huo Yuhao forge is like appreciating a unique performance, listening to a concert jointly performed by metal and hammer.
The two jet-black Forging Hammer rose and fell alternately in his hands, his movements fluid and rhythmic, leaving the three guild leaders dazzled and speechless.
As Huo Yuhao continued to swing his double hammers, the frequency increased, and the hammer shadows almost formed a blurry black light curtain in the air.
The piece of Deep Silver on the anvil kept changing shape under his hammer, and then an even more dazzling light suddenly rose from the Deep Silver.
This time, the light was even more dazzling and solid than the previous five-foot-long silver light, enveloping the entire Forging Room in a layer of silver radiance.
Thirty-six hammer blows, Ten Thousand Refinement Life!
Huo Yuhao flipped his hands, and the pair of Soul Forging Hammer transformed into two streaks of black light, merging back into his palms and disappearing.
That's enough for now. The subsequent Soul Forging requires more time and more complex techniques, so there's no need to continue here.
The three guild leaders stood frozen in place like three stone statues, their six eyes fixed on the piece of Deep Silver on the anvil, which had now turned into a perfect sphere.
Feeling the pulse-like power emanating from it, the shock in their hearts lingered for Jiujiu.
Xu Jiujiu and Jin Li, who were standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed; it was the first time they had ever seen such forging.
Although they didn't quite understand the mystery, the two bursts of brilliant light that shot into the sky were so stunning that they left a very deep impression on them.
There was silence in the Forging Room for a long time. Finally, Zhu Wen swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down several times, before he managed to squeeze out a sentence from his dry throat.
"Master Huo, are you willing to teach us such techniques?"
Huo Yuhao's decision to have Xu Jiujiu contact the Smiths Association was not Shi Xing, but rather a move that had been carefully considered and weighed repeatedly when planning the future development of the Spirit Hall.
Whether it's creating new Soul Tool that could overturn the entire continent's Soul Tool landscape or forging Battle Armor, his Spirit Hall will inevitably need to focus on forging.
However, the immediate problem is that, looking across the entire Douluo Continent, he is the only one who truly masters the system forging technology.
Huo Yuhao's time is limited, and he cannot personally handle all the forging tasks in the entire Spirit Hall.
He still needs to cultivate, and there are many more important things waiting for him to do.
Therefore, it is imperative to cultivate a group of Forgemaster who truly understand forging, and the Star Luo Blacksmith Association, with its group of experienced old blacksmiths, is the most suitable candidate.
Meeting Zhu Wen's eager, almost shining eyes, Huo Yuhao nodded. "Of course, one flower blooming is better than one flower standing out. Since I've come here with sincerity to discuss cooperation, I won't hold back."
His gaze swept over Qu Tong and Lin Zhiyuan, whose expressions were complicated, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Now, forge according to my requirements. Do the two vice presidents have any questions?"
Qu Tong and Lin Zhiyuan exchanged a glance. In their eyes, Huo Yuhao's previous words were not those of an amateur giving orders, but rather the work of an expert from above.
Qu Tong hurriedly shook his head vigorously, replying gruffly, "No problem, no problem! Hall Master Huo, it's up to you. We'll forge it however you say. If anyone dares to utter a single word of dissent, I'll be the first to object!"
Lin Zhiyuan also took off his reading glasses, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and nodded repeatedly in agreement. A rare smile appeared on his usually stern face.
Zhu Wen's dark, rugged face beamed with barely suppressed joy, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes crinkling into the shape of chrysanthemums with laughter.
He quickly interjected, "Master Huo is so magnanimous, willing to impart such miraculous forging techniques to us roughnecks. We are more than grateful, how could we possibly have any questions?"
"From now on, whatever Hall Master Huo says, our Smiths Association will do without question."
At this point, Zhu Wen suddenly paused, took a deep breath, and a solemn and resolute expression appeared on his face, which was etched with the marks of time.
He straightened his back and said solemnly, "Master Huo's forging skills far surpass my own. It would be unworthy of me to continue in this position of chairman."
"I am willing to step down and relinquish the position of president of the Smiths Association. I humbly request that Master Huo accept the position."
When Zhu Wen said these words, there was not a trace of probing or politeness in his eyes; he genuinely wanted to hand over the position of chairman to the young man before him.
Looking into Zhu Wen's sincere eyes, Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "President Zhu, I appreciate your kindness."
"But I have many things to do. The Spirit Hall can't be left unattended, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to spend on the association's daily affairs."
"The position of president is most suitable for a respected senior like President Zhu. I will only be responsible for passing on the skills. I hope our cooperation will proceed smoothly in the future."
Zhu Wen was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but he did not insist.
He immediately patted his chest and assured them, "Cooperation is naturally no problem. We'll do whatever Hall Master Huo says without hesitation!"
He then followed up with a suggestion, "Since Master Huo is unwilling to take over as president, how about serving as the honorary president of the Smiths Association?"
Huo Yuhao did not refuse the offer.
He thought for a moment, then nodded and readily said, "Honorary president is no problem."
He then changed the subject. "However, I think it might not be appropriate to call it the Smiths Association anymore. I think it should be changed to the Blacksmith Association."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Zhu Wen's old eyes.
Yes, the work they did before was indeed not technically demanding; to put it bluntly, it was just swinging a hammer and using their strength.
But things are different now. The forging technique that Biography of Yuhao is less of a craft and more of a profound and extensive science.
Once they master this technology, which is enough to revolutionize the entire metal processing industry on the continent, their status on the entire Douluo Continent will definitely rise rapidly, and in time they may be able to stand on equal footing with Soul Engineer.
Thinking of this, a flush of excitement rose on Zhu Wen's dark face, which was marked by the passage of time.
He nodded vigorously, his booming voice trembling slightly with excitement. "That's right, it's time to change the name!"
