Success, Tremor Effect

"Ding Ding Dang Dang." The sound of hammering rang out without pause.

At this moment, nearly two hours had passed since Jiang Yi began forging.

Although the roaring furnace flames carried blistering heat, Jiang Yi remained as neat as ever. Clearly, neither the movements nor the temperature affected him in the slightest.

The Heavy Silver Hammer in his hand rose high and came down upon the metal.

Just then, a silver radiance Burst Forth from the Deep Silver, breaking through the flames.

Zhen Hua, standing to the side, widened his eyes. He had actually completed Thousand Refinement.

According to the rules of the forging world, every Forging Master's first Thousand Refinement metal had to undergo Blood Sacrifice, after which it would become part of the Forging Master's collection.

After the Blood Sacrifice, it could form a Blood Connection with the Forging Master and become something akin to a part of his body.

In a sense, Thousand Refinement Metal that had undergone Blood Sacrifice would develop a faint intelligence connected to its creator's bloodline, allowing it to evolve even stronger properties.

Jiang Yi had only begun learning forging recently and might not have known this rule, so Zhen Hua intended to help him.

Just as he Was About To act, Jiang Yi inside directly took out a small knife, cut his wrist, and let his blood spill over the Deep Silver.

A hissing sound immediately rose, and smoke spread through the air.

After the smoke dispersed, the Deep Silver appeared once more. At This Moment, it had lost its previous silvery brilliance and turned dull gray.

A layer of fine, wave-like patterns had appeared on its surface. This was Thousand-Refined Deep Silver.

Jiang Yi stared at the Thousand-Refined Deep Silver, a smile appearing on his face as well.

At This Moment, he completely understood what the books meant when they described Thousand Refinement as giving metal life.

During the latter half of the Thousand Refinement process, he had already sensed the aura of life from this piece of Deep Silver.

After all, his Martial Soul, the Heart of Eternity, was constantly Emitting powerful life force. Naturally, Jiang Yi was exceptionally sensitive to life force.

Whether it was life force itself or something that carried life force.

It was precisely because of this sharp perception that Jiang Yi had ultimately completed Thousand Refinement.

Zhen Hua walked over and took the metal Jiang Yi had successfully forged, carefully examining it in his hand.

"Uncle Zhen Hua, does this mean I passed the test?" Jiang Yi asked with a faint smile.

Suppressing his shock, Zhen Hua looked at Jiang Yi sternly. "You should call me Teacher."

"Yes, Teacher." Jiang Yi immediately addressed him as such.

A brilliant smile appeared on Zhen Hua's face. It had been a long time since he had felt as excited and happy as he did today.

"Xiao Yi, this is your first piece of Thousand Refinement Metal. It would be best to forge it into a Forging Hammer. You'll find it easier to use in the future," Zhen Hua suggested.

"Okay, Teacher." Jiang Yi nodded in agreement.

"Come, tell me everything you understand about forging right now, and then I'll begin teaching you." Zhen Hua spoke impatiently.

With such a genius Disciple who possessed such powerful learning ability, he could not help wanting to teach him immediately.

While Zhen Hua taught Jiang Yi in the Forge Room, Mu Ye silently arrived outside.

Watching the scene within through the small window, Mu Ye smiled.

He knew that with Jiang Yi's talent, Zhen Hua would definitely accept him as a disciple.

One day later, in Zhen Hua's Forge Room.

"Clang." After delivering the final strike, the Forging Hammer Jiang Yi had made from his first piece of Thousand-Refined Deep Silver was finally complete.

Looking at the Forging Hammer he had just finished, Jiang Yi's heart was filled with accomplishment. This was his first true work in every sense.

Zhen Hua nodded slightly from the side. "Every piece of Thousand Refinement Metal develops a unique Thousand Refinement effect. Try it and see what effect this piece has."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly and raised the pair of hammers. Their weight was almost no different from the ones he had used before, and a sense of Blood Connection flowed through him.

Taking out a piece of metal, Jiang Yi began swinging his Forging Hammer.

"Clang—" A long, resonant sound rang out. Jiang Yi and Zhen Hua's eyes lit up at the same time, because they could both tell that it was an effect.

"I never expected it to be tremor. This is a top-tier effect. During forging, it can use tremors to rapidly remove impurities from the metal." Zhen Hua was happy for Jiang Yi as well.

Jiang Yi smiled too. An exceptional effect provided a significant boost to a Soul Engineer's forging.

"Okay, next we'll continue with Hundred Refinement metals. Your talent is exceptional, but you've been exposed to forging for too short a time."

"Naturally, you've encountered very few metals. Any Forging Master who wants to continue improving must understand every type of metal."

This was the first time he had seen a genius like Jiang Yi, so he had to be even more careful in his teaching. He had to lay a solid foundation.

Otherwise, even the greatest talent might eventually run out of momentum.

"I understand, Teacher."

In the future, he would definitely share his forging knowledge with his other two selves.

The worlds where those two were located did not yet have the profession of Forging Master.

Naturally, he had to study more meticulously and build a solid foundation, lest something go wrong later.

For the future development of his Forging Master profession, he had to do so.

Studying under the only Divine Craftsman on Douluo Continent, Jiang Yi was like a sponge, greedily absorbing knowledge.

His forging skills could already be described as improving with each passing day.

On the fifth day after arriving at Zhen Hua's place, Jiang Yi was already capable of performing Thousand Refinement on as many as seven types of Rare Metal.

At This Moment, he was already qualified to become a Third-Level Blacksmith.

Becoming a Third-Level Blacksmith in Five Days directly shattered the Blacksmith Association's record since its founding.

Moreover, no one would likely ever break that record again.

On the sixth day, Jiang Yi continued learning forging under Zhen Hua's guidance as usual.

Mu Ye suddenly appeared inside the Forge Room, and Zhen Hua frowned. He disliked being disturbed most while teaching.

"Don't rush." Mu Ye spoke to Zhen Hua first.

"Xiao Yi, someone has come to find you downstairs. I heard they're from the Law Enforcement Bureau. What happened?" Mu Ye asked in confusion.

Jiang Yi stopped swinging his hammer and explained, "It should be because of what happened on the train on the day I arrived."

"The train? You were really on that train?" Mu Ye frowned.

He immediately recalled the train that had been attacked.

"That's right. It was because of the train incident that I arrived here So Late that day." Jiang Yi nodded in confirmation.

Zhen Hua and Mu Ye exchanged looks. Neither of them had expected their earlier guess to be correct.

Mu Ye Was About To ask what exactly had happened to Jiang Yi that day.

"Let's go down and take a look first." Zhen Hua spoke At This Moment, and Mu Ye nodded as well.

Jiang Yi followed behind the two of them as they headed down to the First Floor.
