The sound of ding ding dang dang rang continuously through the forge room.

With every hammer strike, Jiang Yi corrected his movements once, gradually making them almost identical to Lin Ming's earlier motions.

Jiang Yi devoted himself completely to the forging state.

Lin Ming, watching from the side, widened his eyes in shock.

Jiang Yi could actually wield that pair of Heavy Silver Hammers so easily. His strength was definitely over a thousand jin.

"Moreover, why do his forging movements look so much like mine?"

"Could it be that he merely watched me for a while and already learned my forging movements?" Lin Ming thought in disbelief.

Gazing at Jiang Yi skillfully hammering the metal before him, as though he had immersed himself in forging for many years,

no matter how unbelievable it was, the facts were right before his eyes.

What happened next shocked him even more. While forging, Jiang Yi was still constantly changing his forging methods.

Every blacksmith would develop a set of forging techniques exclusive to themselves after years of practice.

Such forging techniques suited them best and were also the most efficient.

For blacksmiths without talent, this process would be extremely long. Most blacksmiths found it difficult to figure out the method most suitable for themselves.

Lin Ming had studied forging for nearly thirty years, yet he still had not found a method that completely suited him.

But Jiang Yi had actually learned his forging techniques during his very first attempt at forging, and now he was even beginning to improve them.

"This... this is a genius!" Lin Ming was utterly shaken. He had never expected to encounter such a forging prodigy.

The speed of the twin hammers in Jiang Yi's hands continued to increase, even leaving behind streaks of afterimages.

Under his forging, the piece of metal steadily shrank in volume, while the impurities within it were continuously expelled.

The final hammer strike landed on the metal, and Jiang Yi immediately stopped swinging.

"Why did you stop?" Lin Ming asked instinctively.

Jiang Yi shook his head. "I can't keep hammering it. If I continue, this piece of metal will be ruined."

Through his earlier forging, the impurities in this piece of metal had basically been removed. It had already undergone Hundred Refinement.

And ordinary metal like this could withstand, at most, Hundred Refinement.

Only special metals could endure Thousand Refinement. He had learned all of this from books.

Hearing Jiang Yi say this, Lin Ming finally Realized. Jiang Yi had shocked him so badly just now that he had asked such an unprofessional question.

Lin Ming picked up the piece of metal, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hundred Refinement... you completed Hundred Refinement on your first attempt at forging, and with such a high degree of purification."

Lin Ming abruptly raised his head and asked, "Are you really only just starting to learn forging?"

"That's right. Before this, I only read some books about forging and learned a few basic principles." Jiang Yi nodded seriously.

Having received a definite answer, Lin Ming no longer knew what to think.

There was actually such a forging genius in this world.

Jiang Yi himself was also somewhat surprised by his talent for forging.

After that round of forging, he gained a deeper understanding of Douluo 2 Jiang Yi's abilities.

Douluo 2 Jiang Yi's Endless Battle Body was not merely a simple increase in strength, but an all-around enhancement of Physical Quality.

Whether it was strength, defense, speed, Reaction Speed, or even control over strength, all of it would continuously improve.

He could rapidly and precisely adjust his own Physical Strength.

With such control, combined with the support of powerful Spiritual Power, learning forging was like a fish taking to water.

After all, what forging required most was control over Physical Strength.

He could precisely control the position of every hammer strike and the amount of force applied. Wasn't that exactly the talent needed to learn forging?

Lin Ming Gazing At Jiang Yi before him felt the urge to take him as a disciple, yet he also felt unworthy.

If he could complete Hundred Refinement on his first attempt at forging, it probably would not be long before he could achieve Thousand Refinement.

"Sigh, I've Never Before met a student like you. I don't even know where to begin teaching you," Lin Ming said with a bitter smile after a long silence.

Even so, he still began teaching Jiang Yi forging knowledge afterward.

After all, completing Hundred Refinement on one's first attempt only applied to a single type of metal.

The difficulty of forging different metals varied as greatly as heaven and earth.

To truly become a Level One Blacksmith, one needed the ability to perform Hundred Refinement on multiple kinds of metal. Only then could one pass the assessment with complete certainty.

Having witnessed Jiang Yi's talent, Lin Ming no longer cared about whether this was merely a trial lesson. The two remained in the forge room until the afternoon.

It was not until someone knocked on the door to remind him that Lin Ming finally Realized.

Lin Ming looked at Jiang Yi and sighed. "Your learning speed is simply Too Fast. If you're willing, you can come here and study with me in the future."

"You won't need to pay a single cent in tuition."

Being able to teach such a genius blacksmith was an honor in Lin Ming's eyes.

If Jiang Yi made a name for himself in history someday, Lin Ming would be able to share a little of the glory as well.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin. I'll come by when I have time," Jiang Yi said gratefully.

Although he had studied for less than a day, he had already gained a great deal.

Afterward, Jiang Yi Turned and Left the workshop.

He failed to notice at all that everything he had done in the forge room had been observed by someone.

"This kid actually has such talent in forging as well," Mu Ye could not help but sigh. Then he silently followed behind Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi left the forging workshop. At This Moment, it was already dusk.

"I trained all day. I should get something to eat first."

The moment he stepped outside, he smelled the aroma drifting from the restaurants, and he began to feel a little hungry.

After all, he had left this morning without even eating breakfast.

Jiang Yi glanced around, chose a restaurant he liked, and walked over.

"Handsome, what would you like to eat?" The owner warmly came over to greet him as soon as he entered.

"Bring me two of your Signature Dishes," Jiang Yi said directly.

"Okay!"

After agreeing, the owner turned and entered the kitchen, instructing the Chef to begin cooking.

About twenty minutes later, the owner came out again carrying two dishes. The aroma Emitting from them was incredibly enticing.

The owner placed the dishes on the table, immediately drawing Jiang Yi's attention.

One dish looked like a special Gelatinous Substance, resembling some kind of tendon stewed until tender.

The other held seven large Blood Red shrimp. Their shells had already been removed, and the shrimp meat Emitting a jade-like luster.

Even before taking a bite, Jiang Yi could already sense that these two dishes were far from ordinary.

Just as he was about to ask the owner about them, the owner said, "Please enjoy," and went straight back to the kitchen.
