Special Effect-Ruyi!
Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered slightly. Facing Mu Chen's sharp gaze, he remained calm and answered truthfully, "My mentor in forging is indeed Zhen Hua."
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin, who was standing to the side, was suddenly jolted!
As a Forgemaster, the name of the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua was naturally very well-known to him.
After all, he stands at the very top of the pyramid of the entire continent's forging industry, a legendary Level 9 Divine Craftsman, a legendary goal that all Forgemaster look up to and pursue!
He never expected that Huo Yuhao's forging teacher would be this very person.
Upon hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes seemed to churn with some complex emotions, but he quickly regained his composure.
He placed the badge back into Huo Yuhao's outstretched palm.
He then looked at Huo Yuhao and said in a calm tone, "A badge doesn't mean anything."
He looked directly at Huo Yuhao, his tone turning cold. "If you want to join my East Sea Blacksmith Association, you'll have to see your true abilities."
At this moment, in Huo Yuhao's mind, Mu Chen, the president of the Donghai Blacksmiths Association, had already been classified as an enemy of his teacher Zhen Hua.
The other party's attitude clearly carried a hint of testing or even making things difficult.
As a disciple, he represented not only himself at this moment, but also the face and reputation of his teacher, Zhen Hua.
Huo Yuhao's expression also turned serious. He put away the badge, met Mu Chen's gaze firmly, and replied in a strong voice, "In that case, please, Guild Master... prepare a Forging Room for me."
Mu Chen gave him a deep look, then said nothing more, simply uttering three words: "Come with me."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the office first.
Huo Yuhao and Tang Wulin exchanged a glance, then without hesitation, they took a step forward and followed closely behind.
After leaving the office, Mu Chen turned right and walked a few steps along the thickly carpeted corridor before stopping in front of an inconspicuous door.
He reached out and pushed the door open, gesturing for the two to enter.
Behind the door is no ordinary room. It is not large, but it has an ingenious layout. Almost all of the surrounding walls are occupied by transparent glass cabinets embedded in the walls.
The cabinet did not contain files or books, but rather pieces of metal of various shapes and colors, arranged in categories.
Deep Silver, Star Silver, Magic Silver, Thousand Refined Tungsten Steel, Jade Silver...
These rare metals shimmered with a captivating luster under the soft light.
On the left and right sides of the room, there are two separate spaces, each separated by thick, transparent glass partitions, and each space is equipped with a standard forging table.
Huo Yuhao glanced around, and without the slightest politeness or hesitation, walked directly to a forging table on the right side.
He first glanced at a piece of rare metal that was currently on the forging table.
It was a piece of Star Silver, about the size of a fist, with fine silver specks on its surface.
Huo Yuhao then skillfully activated the Soul Guidance Energy Core on one side of the forging platform and ignited the Heating Furnace.
A dark blue flame silently ignited. He didn't rush to act, but stood calmly by the forging table, his gaze fixed on the furnace fire, as if sensing the temperature and rhythm of the flames.
Mu Chen, standing to the side, subtly shifted his gaze, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
The boy in front of me was only the size of a ten-year-old child, but when he stood in front of the forging table, he naturally exuded a focused and composed aura.
This mysterious and profound aura is something that many Grandmaster do not possess.
When the color and temperature of the flames reached a certain point, Huo Yuhao moved.
With a flick of his wrist, he used specially made Metal Tongs to smoothly place the piece of Star Silver into the center of the furnace fire, beginning to heat it evenly.
At the same time, a flash of black light appeared on his hands, and a pair of jet-black, ancient-style Forging Hammer appeared out of thin air in his palms.
The hammer is not bare; it is covered with intricate and mysterious dark gold patterns, within which a faint flow of Soul Power is visible, giving it a heavy yet agile aura.
Mu Chen's gaze was instantly drawn to the pair of Forging Hammer.
At a glance, he could tell that these were genuine Spirit Forging- Forging Hammer!
Its main material should be the extremely rare Myriad Soul Iron, which has an excellent effect on the conduction and amplification of Divine Power and Soul Power!
Most Forgemaster forge their own Forging Hammer by hand. Only in this way can they achieve the perfect match with their own Soul Power characteristics and power exertion habits, thus maximizing the forging effect.
The appearance of these Spirit Forging Hammer, and the inexplicable harmony that instantly arose between them and Huo Yuhao, silently proved one thing to Mu Chen...
That young man before them was truly... Level 5 Forgemaster had mastered Spirit Forging!
A glint of light flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul had quietly been activated.
At the same time, the Spirit Detection Soul Skill spread out precisely like invisible ripples, bringing the Star Silver on the forging table, the Forging Hammer in his hand, and even the slightest fluctuations in the furnace fire under absolute control.
In his perceived world, the internal structure, temperature gradient, impurity distribution, and even the stress changes of the metal crystals at high temperatures of that piece of Star Silver became clearer than ever before.
When Huo Yuhao observed that the Star Silver had been calcined to the optimal plasticity point where its internal structure was most active and impurities were most easily separated, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he acted without hesitation!
His left hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely removing the glowing Star Silver with pliers and placing it steadily on the specially made anvil on the forging table.
Almost at the same instant the metal fell, his right hand, already poised to strike, unleashed the Spirit Forged Myriad Soul Hammer, which, with a heavy dark light, traced a simple yet powerful arc and crashed down!
"Bang!!!"
It wasn't a piercing explosion, but a deep, resounding roar!
Sparks flew everywhere, and wisps of air rose.
Mu Chen's pupils contracted sharply the instant the hammer fell!
With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that under that seemingly violent blow, the red-hot Star Silver was not flattened or deformed, but its internal structure seemed to undergo a radical and optimal reorganization at the moment the hammer struck!
With just this one hammer blow, over 40% of the minute impurities and structural defects inside the metal were forcefully "shaken" out and condensed in the oxide layer on the surface that was about to peel off!
The overall height of the Star Silver has been visibly reduced by nearly half, yet its texture appears more solid and pure!
"Huh?!"
Even with Mu Chen's knowledge, he couldn't help but let out a suppressed soft "Eh!" from deep in his throat!
He knew all too well the terrifying eyesight, control, and understanding of the nature of metal that lay behind that seemingly simple hammer blow!
Even many Level 6 Forging Grandmaster have been immersed in forging for decades may not be able to complete this "one-hammer purification" with such precision and efficiency!
While forging skills were fundamental to Huo Yuhao's ability to achieve this, his more crucial strength lay in the unique Spirit Forged Myriad Soul Hammer in his hands and the characteristics of his own martial soul.
These Spirit Forging- Forging Hammer, which he poured his heart and soul into creating, possess an unprecedented special attribute, an effect that even the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua had not anticipated.
Huo Yuhao named it Ruyi.
The core of the "Ruyi" special effect is also very simple: Huo Yuhao can perfectly "perceive" and "freely control" every bit of force transmitted through these two Forging Hammer!
This control not only acts on the hammer itself, but also penetrates deep into the metal being forged!
The shockwave, vibration frequency, and force distribution of the hammer blows can all be finely adjusted at his will, as if they were a direct extension of his will.
His Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and Spirit Detection provide unparalleled "vision".
Every impurity spot, structural weakness, and optimal force transmission path inside the metal is as clear as a lighthouse in the darkness to him, leaving no secrets whatsoever.
The combination of the "Ruyi" special effect and the "Spirit Eyes" seems to be a forging technique tailor-made for Huo Yuhao.
He can see where the "impurities" are, and he can precisely deliver the hammering force to every "node" that needs it, achieving maximum purification and structural optimization at the lowest cost.
That earth-shattering hammer blow was a perfect embodiment of the fusion of vision, strength, and intention.
It is a miracle combining technology, martial spirit, and exclusive equipment, far beyond what can be measured by forging level alone.
