"What kind of metal is this?!"
Looking at the almost magma-like "obsidian," Liu Erlong turned his gaze to the pool of Obsidian Olivine -black liquid metal and asked in shock.
Ling Yi did not answer her immediately. Instead, he took out a dark metal rod from his Storage Soul Tool, held one end, and used the other end to reach into the pool of molten metal in the pure blue flame.
The metal rod, about forty centimeters long, was made of a metal that Liu Erlong found somewhat unfamiliar, yet it was equally resistant to the high temperatures of the Pure Azure Flame!
Ling Yi's expression was solemn. The moment the metal rod touched the molten metal, he exerted his strength and pulled the metal rod out of the flames in a circular motion.
Along with the metal rod, a bluish-black metal wire, thinner than a human hair, appeared to be stuck to the tip of the metal rod.
No, that metal wire wasn't bluish-black!
Liu Erlong narrowed his phoenix eyes, and only when the metal wire emerged from the pure blue flame did its true color become apparent.
It's silver-gray!
When the dark metal rod that Ling Yi was spinning like a fan in his hand stopped, a coil of metal coils, like a mosquito coil, appeared on the solid forging table.
Looking at the metal wires that resembled dragon beard noodles, Ling Yi smiled knowingly.
Only then did Ling Yi have a chance to turn to Liu Erlong: "Take a good look. I think the academy's forging class should have shown some samples."
"Although, it looks somewhat different from the sample now. ★·.·´¯`·.·★ ★·.·´¯`·.·★"
After saying that, he placed the dark metal rod in his hand onto the forging table.
Seeing Ling Yi's friendly attitude, Liu Erlong felt much less distant from Ling Yi, the leader of the academy. She was not one to be coy, so she immediately stepped forward to observe the various things on the forging platform up close.
His gaze swept over the items one by one, and the three things that attracted Liu Erlong's attention the most were the densely coiled silver-gray metal wires, the pile of small blue scales, and the dark metal rod.
Just then, Ling Yi's voice rang in Liu Erlong's ears again. "You can try it out yourself."
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Liu Erlong could no longer suppress her curiosity and reached out to the dark metal rod.
After all, the metal wires had not yet cooled down completely. Considering the extremely high temperature of the pure blue flame just now, Liu Erlong did not recklessly charge forward.
Of course, Ling Yi's use of "getting hands on" didn't actually mean that Liu Erlong should examine the object with his bare hands.
"Um?!"
The moment Liu Erlong grasped the dark metal rod, his expression changed, and his palm, which was holding the metal rod, instantly glowed with the light of Soul Power.
To the naked eye, Liu Erlong could tell that the metal rod seemed to be extremely dense and heavy, but he did not expect it to be this heavy!
In addition to its weight, what truly enabled Liu Erlong to unleash her Soul Power was the extremely restrained chill emanating from the metal rod.
In that instant, Liu Erlong felt as if he was holding not a metal rod, but a block of ice that had stood for millennia!
"Cold Heart Iron Essence?!?!"
Liu Erlong blurted out, his eyes gleaming with surprise. "This is actually ' Cold Heart Iron Essence '?!"
As the hardest natural metal on the Douluo Continent, Liu Erlong had only seen it a few times during forging classes, always when Tie Futu and Lou Gao used it as a teaching example. —(••÷[ ]÷••)—
Having experienced a change in his fate, Liu Erlong has now developed a spontaneous love for forging as he studies the craft.
Interest is truly an excellent teacher.
In addition, after Liu Erlong was promoted to senior blacksmith, the works she created also enabled her to earn a considerable income, which allowed Liu Erlong and her mother Liu Yan to live quite well in ' Gengxin City '.
When a hobby can generate income, it's hard for anyone to resist the temptation.
Although Ling Yi beside her did not affirm her judgment, Liu Erlong did not take it to heart. Holding the metal rod made of "Cold Heart Iron Essence", she pointed at the coil of silver-gray metal wire.
When the metal rod rolled the silk thread outwards, Liu Erlong could clearly feel the tactile sensation transmitted through the metal rod.
The first sense is the minute.
Liu Erlong swore that even if he were to advance to the Blacksmith, he would still be far from being able to process metal to such a fine degree, and continuously at that!
After a cursory glance at the densely coiled metal wires, Liu Erlong estimated that if they were extended, they would probably be more than two hundred meters long!
Three metal ingots that weren't particularly large were actually drawn into such long metal wires. Such craftsmanship was absolutely astounding to Liu Erlong.
In addition, the second sense that Liu Erlong had through the metal rods was the toughness of these silver-gray metal wires!
It should be noted that the metal rod she was holding was made entirely of "Cold Heart Iron Essence," whose density and hardness were among the top three, or even the first, of all natural metals in the Douluo Continent!
Despite being crushed by such a powerful metal rod, the metal wire, which was thinner than a hair, did not break at all. Even when she removed the metal rod, it did not flatten or bend.
Many names of metal ores came to mind, but Liu Erlong eliminated them one by one. In the end, she had no choice but to turn her gaze to Ling Yi, who was smiling to the side.
To this, Ling Yi softly uttered four words: "Deep Sea Heavy Silver."
After saying that, without waiting for Liu Erlong to react, Ling Yi stepped forward and pinched one end of the "Deep Sea Heavy Silver" metal wire, which had cooled down slightly, completely ignoring that the temperature was still comparable to boiling oil.
Holding a metal wire in one hand and picking up a piece of blue scale with the other, he threaded it through the tiny pores on the scale...
The following day, at the "Golden Spears and Iron Horses" Mimicry Cultivation Ground at the [Heavenly Craft Academy].
In a training ground piled with metal castings of all sizes, Ling Yi stood there with his right hand wearing a blue glove, his feet slightly apart, eyes closed and focused.
Outside the arena, Yang Shelly, who was protecting her food, Ah Yin, who was worshipping, Ah Rou, who was watching the show, Liu Erlong and Tang Yuehua, who were investigating, as well as Tie Futu and Lou Gao, who had come to watch after receiving the news, all held their breath and stared at the figure in the arena.
At one point, Ling Yi opened his eyes and raised his right hand, which had been hanging by his side.
A bright silver metal disc, resembling Silver Soul Coin, appeared in my hand at some unknown time. I rested it on the crook of my bent index finger, with my thumb under the disc, as if making a flicking motion.
"Sizzle sizzle—!"
A faint, dense crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the onlookers saw that one after another, pale golden arcs of electricity appeared on Ling Yi's right-hand blue glove.
"..."
Sudden!
Everyone felt as if a bright light flashed before their eyes, and the next second, a huge shriek suddenly appeared in the sky above the training ground.
Before everyone could recover from the piercing scream, the "sizzle! sizzle! sizzle!..." sounds rang out again almost simultaneously, until a final, loud "clang—!" was heard, and everyone's attention was drawn to the row of metal castings on the south side of the training ground.
A hole the size of an infant's fist appeared more than 30 meters in front of Ling Yi, piercing through the chest of a metal statue, and even revealing another metal statue behind it.
Three metal statues in a row, all with holes piercing their chests, and at the very back, a huge metal pillar that looks like a giant crater blasted open by a cannonball.
"Hiss—!!!" *N
The sound of synchronized inhalations filled the air outside the training ground, causing the surrounding temperature to rise considerably.
Still writing, will try to finish the next chapter before midnight~
