Self-destruction is a very unfamiliar word used in metal, but it is a real situation.
For these top metals, they are just like those fairy grasses that will wither if they are not used properly. As long as you are not careful, they will lose their spirituality from the inside out and become a piece of scrap metal that is not even as good as ordinary steel.
This is also the most difficult part of forging it. It needs to contend with the spirituality inherent in its body, but not let it go to the extreme of self-destruction, and maintain a just balance. If the blacksmith can do this, then his Soul Refinement level is beyond doubt.
Zhen Hua naturally knows this, so he chose this Star Abyss Dark Iron to test Long Yuan.
Long Yuan took a deep breath, and his eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils.
There was no dazzling light, only a thick, simple pressure that seemed to come from the depths of the soul slowly dispersed, quietly colliding with the violent spirituality inside Star Abyss Dark Iron.
This is his Dragon Might. He understands that his advantages in the forging world, besides being extremely powerful and able to do twice the result with half the effort, are his spiritual consciousness and Dragon Might.
For Star Abyss Dark Iron, if ordinary blacksmiths can only constantly appease its spirituality in order to make it less resistant to being forged, then Long Yuan uses force to suppress others and order its internal spirituality to obey its own forging!
Buzz--
Star Abyss Dark Iron trembled suddenly, a faint blue light appeared on the surface, and the air in the room seemed to become thickened instantly.
This is a manifestation of its resistance. At this moment, the spirituality inside it has become a mess. They are running around, some want to surrender, some want to resist...
But due to the metal itself, they can't escape at all.
Long Yuan opened his eyes, a light flashed in his eyes.
Dragon Might is even more prosperous, with undeniable power transmitted to the inside of Star Abyss Dark Iron--
"Submit to me and be reborn in my hands! Otherwise, you will perish here!"
Finally, the spirit in Star Abyss Dark Iron seemed to have accepted its fate and stopped rioting. The scattered blue light also stopped and stopped surging.
It's like an angry little daughter-in-law. Since she can't resist, she can only enjoy it silently.
Long Yuan raised his hand, and a pair of Soul Refinement Sinking Silver hammers appeared in his hands.
It's not made of any precious metal. After all, he doesn't have high requirements for the forging hammer, as long as it can withstand his strength.
Dang--
The first hammer fell.
There was no loud noise, only a clear and long trill, like a bell, that spread throughout Forging Room.
Zhen Hua's originally careless eyes suddenly condensed.
"This little guy you brought is really extraordinary. He calmed down the chaotic spirituality in Star Abyss Dark Iron in such a short period of time."
Zhen Hua himself also forged Star Abyss Dark Iron, but it took him half a day just to appease the spirit in the first step.
After some comparison, Zhen Hua couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, this kid is so terrifying!
Within Forging Room, Long Yuan is still continuing.
Dang--dang--dang--
Long Yuan's hammer speed is not very fast, but every hammer hits exactly the point where Star Abyss Dark Iron's spirituality gathers.
The spirituality inside the metal began to condense, shape, and imprint bit by bit along with his hammering sound.
Not long after, a blue light that was more than ten feet long shone out, making the entire Forging Room look like a dream.
A flash of inspiration, Thousand Refinement First Grade!
And Long Yuan only used eighteen hammers!
"Only eighteen hammers were used? Incredible, really incredible..." Zhen Hua muttered.
"You actually used my eighteen hammers. As expected of Star Abyss Dark Iron, it's incredible, it's really incredible..." Long Yuan frowned.
"It seems that I need to practice more in the future."
But the next step is much simpler. Because Star Abyss Dark Iron voted directly, Long Yuan does not need to perform the most complicated and difficult "Spirit Awakening" operation of Spirit Refinement, but only needs to integrate its internal spirituality.
Then--
"All the spirits obeyed my orders and fought against each other. They fought until the last moment and then committed suicide and died!"
Although unable to speak, the spirituality inside Star Abyss Dark Iron still understood his intention. Under the supervision of divine consciousness, the spirits began to devour each other until only the last and most powerful spirit remained.
Then, it kills itself.
"Well, be obedient!" Long Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then picked up the forging hammer and struck it hard.
"Dang--"
Although there was only one hammer, layers of echoes resounded inside the metal, like several bells ringing together.
Finally, the echoes gradually died down, leaving only one voice, that of new life.
The light is restrained, Spirit Refinement, done!
Long Yuan took a breath, and next, it was Soul Refinement--
Soul Refinement is not a forged shape, but the rudiment of the soul is carved inside the metal.
Hammer after hammer, tapping gently, as if stroking the most delicate flower.
Zhen Hua and Mu Chen held their breath and clenched their fists.
They know very well how difficult this step is, and the key is this top-grade metal.
Although Long Yuan's previous performance on Thousand Refinement and Spirit Refinement was far better than theirs, they were still very nervous.
How many Level 6 Grandmaster have been stuck at the Soul Refinement level for a lifetime, not because they are not strong enough, but because they are not spiritual enough, mentally strong enough, and tough enough.
Zhen Hua has completely stopped thinking about the test, and the eyes he looks at Long Yuan are extremely fiery!
This boy is so talented, he is really a genius given to the Blacksmith Association by God!
In Forging Room, Long Yuan is completing this crucial step in an almost perfect manner.
Dang--
Dang--
Dang--
The last blow.
The light hammer landed in the center of Star Abyss Dark Iron.
Buzz------
The whole Forging Room is resonating.
Star Abyss Dark Iron suddenly rose into the air, suspended in mid-air, the blue light was restrained, and a complex and mysterious mark appeared on the surface, like the trajectory of a galaxy.
The moment the mark was formed, the metal let out a satisfying sound.
Soul Refinement... successful!
Long Yuan took back the hammer and let out a long breath, but his eyes were still sharp.
It was the first time he completed Soul Refinement of this difficulty, and he was very satisfied.
The Star Abyss Dark Iron suspended in the air slowly fell down and lay quietly on the forging table, as docile as a tame Ferocious Beast.
Inside Forging Room, there was dead silence.
Zhen Hua's eyes widened, and he strode to the forging bench. His rough fingers trembled as he stroked the piece of Star Abyss Dark Iron that completed Soul Refinement. He felt the internal stability, harmony, and spirituality that resonated with the heaven and earth, as if he had forgotten time and immersed all his mind in it.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, raised his head suddenly, and stared at Long Yuan.
"You... how old are you?"
Long Yuan put down the forging hammer and said calmly, "I have just grown up."
Zhen Hua Take a deep breath, then another, until your face turns red and your hair seems to stand on end.
He slammed the forging platform, making a loud noise.
"Good! What a genius!"
"Mu Chen, you win."
"This Soul Refinement, I, Zhen Hua, am convinced!"
"Long Yuan, come and learn from me. With your talent, it only takes five years, no, three years! You will definitely become the new Divine Craftsman!"
