Subversion! Five Metals Fusion Forging!!

Five consecutive pieces of extreme metal, One hundred percent Spirit Forging, This would be explosive anywhere!

Cen Yue stared at Mu Chen as he always did.

Mu Chen felt his old face flush under the gaze.

Yet Cen Yue kept staring without letting up!

Just as Mu Chen was getting angry enough to kick him, His daughter, Mu Xi, suddenly walked in.

In an instant, Mu Chen froze completely!

"Xi'er, why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come over?"

The moment Mu Chen saw his daughter arrive, his heart seemed to skip a beat.

He hurried forward, Trying to use his body to block Lu Chuan, Refusing to give the two of them any chance to get acquainted!

But Mu Xi's gaze had already bypassed him, Falling straight onto the five pieces of Spirit Forged metal just completed on the Forging Table.

The crimson of the Flame Copper, The deep blue of the Frost Meteorite Iron, The golden yellow of the Thunderclap Gold, The grayish-black of the Shadow Steel, The emerald green of the Life Crystal, The five-colored radiance reflected off one another, Illuminating the entire evaluation room as if it were a dream!

Mu Xi was captivated at a single glance. "Dad, don't block me!"

She pushed Mu Chen aside and trotted over to Lu Chuan's Forging Table, Her eyes scanning back and forth over the five pieces of metal, The more she looked, the more shocked she became.

"Flame Copper, Frost Meteorite Iron, Thunderclap Gold, Shadow Steel, Life Crystal... are these all rare metals with extreme attributes?"

"Judging by the temperature of the metal, they were just successfully Spirit Forged.

There's nothing in the scrap bin, which means they were all successful on the first try!

So strong...!"

Mu Xi's eyes grew brighter as she spoke, She turned her head abruptly, Looking at Lu Chuan, who was standing beside the Forging Table.

The youth was dressed in a black athletic outfit, The edges of his sleeves still bore scorched marks from the Flame Copper, The hair on his forehead was slightly curled, And he was still holding a Forging Hammer in his hand.

His breathing had already steadied, But the golden glow in the depths of his eyes had not yet fully faded.

Just looking at his profile, Mu Xi's heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

"Did you do this?"

Mu Xi asked softly.

In truth, She knew her question was quite redundant, After all, If the metal that had just been forged wasn't created by the blacksmith standing next to the Forging Table, then who else could it be?

But she asked it anyway.

It was for no other reason than that she simply wanted to. She wanted to speak with Lu Chuan, no matter what it was about!

Lu Chuan had just finished forging and was still in his rest period. The Level 6 Blacksmith examination allowed for breaks, but he could not understand why someone would barge into the evaluation room while he was in the middle of his assessment. This was a sign of disrespect toward him!

He cast a cold glance at Mu Xi. Recalling that she was the subject of the rumors involving him after he had been drinking, Lu Chuan ultimately decided not to lose his temper. "I was the one forging! But I am still in the middle of my examination, so please, leave!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Chen suddenly remembered that Lu Chuan had already completed his Level 5 Blacksmith examination and was currently undergoing the Level 6 assessment!

"Mu Xi, who told you to come in? Get out, now! During an examination, even I am not allowed to disturb a blacksmith; those are the rules! Do you not know that?" Mu Chen's tone was icy. Although Mu Xi was his daughter and he currently disliked Lu Chuan, rules were rules. As long as Lu Chuan had not finished, no outsider was permitted to enter the evaluation room.

"Ah, he is still being evaluated? Didn't he already complete the Spirit Forging? Could it be that he is performing Fusion Forging..." Mu Xi looked at Lu Chuan in shock, nearly crying out in surprise. In her mind, most blacksmiths capable of Fusion Forging were already in their forties or fifties. Yet, the youth before her was clearly around her own age! In her state of disbelief, she covered her mouth and was ushered out by Mu Chen.

At this moment, Elder Zhao pushed the door open and walked in, looking guilty. "I am sorry, I am just an old fool! I completely forgot that you were undergoing a Level 6 examination. I truly apologize!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan's expression softened slightly. "Elder Zhao, you are being too formal. I decided to take the Level 6 exam on a whim, so it is normal that you forgot! Let us just continue." With that, he walked back to the Forging Table.

Seeing this, Elder Zhao let out a long sigh of relief. In truth, he could not really be blamed. Generally, Fusion Forging began during the stage before the metal was purified or during Thousand Forging, but Lu Chuan was different; he performed Spirit Forging first, then Fusion Forging! This actually had a drawback: if the Fusion Forging failed, the losses would be immense. However, it also had a benefit: the quality of the Spirit Alloy created by fusing Spirit Forged metals was exceptionally high. Spirit Alloy created from ordinary metals, even if Spirit Forged later, was far inferior in quality to that created from Spirit Forged metals.

He lined up the five pieces of Spirit Forged metal in front of him.

Lu Chuan took the lead by picking up the Flame Copper and the Frost Meteorite Iron, two metals with diametrically opposed attributes.

He placed them both into the forging furnace simultaneously.

This action immediately shocked Mu Chen, Cen Yue, and Elder Zhao.

In their experience, ice and fire were absolutely incompatible; forcing two metals with such opposing properties together would only result in an explosion!

However, Lu Chuan did not think so. In his eyes, opposition was relative; while ice and fire countered each other, they were also mutually generative.

Just like Yin and Yang, once the two were balanced, they would become incredibly stable—not only capable of both offense and defense but also inclusive of all things.

Lu Chuan intended to use the Flame Copper and Frost Meteorite Iron to fuse a stable foundation, so that no matter what metal he added later, it would be a natural progression.

"I have no idea what Mang Tian has been teaching him. Spirit Forging before Fusion Forging is one thing, but to choose two metals with completely opposite attributes for this Fusion Forging? Isn't he just leading the boy astray?" Cen Yue grumbled, his heart filled with ten thousand layers of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

He watched as Lu Chuan wrapped each of the two metals in soul power and slowly brought them together, his own heart trembling in sync with the process.

Sure enough, the moment the ice and fire made contact, a violent boom erupted within the testing room.

A wave of air, like a steam explosion, instantly swept through the surroundings, even shaking the wall clock loose until it crashed to the floor with a loud clang!

Yet, at such a critical moment, no one blamed Lu Chuan; they all waited with bated breath for a miracle.

The scorching heat of the Flame Copper and the extreme cold of the Frost Meteorite Iron clashed fiercely at the point of contact, emitting a shrill hissing sound, as if two wild beasts were tearing at each other.

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth, manipulating his soul power to forcibly compress the two opposing forces within a limited space.

At this moment, his soul power was depleting rapidly. Even though his Golden Dragon King soul power was several times denser than ordinary soul power, after six consecutive Spirit Forgings followed by this Fusion Forging, he was gradually reaching his limit.

Fortunately, hard work pays off; at the boundary where ice and fire met, A new substance began to emerge.

It was a thin, gradient-colored metallic film, transitioning from crimson to deep blue, with a magnificent purple hue in the center!

Two extreme attributes achieved a delicate balance within this metallic film, mutually restraining yet interdependent.

"This is... a success!"

"A new alloy!"

Cen Yue's eyes widened, he could never have imagined that it would actually succeed!

Mu Chen smiled and affirmed, "It is a success, a new alloy formula, hahaha!"

Elder Zhao's lips curled upward as he let out a long sigh, "I'm old, truly old. The waves of the Yangtze River push the ones ahead, and the old waves die on the beach!"

The three of them exchanged glances, each seeing gratification in the other's eyes.

How could they not be excited that the forging world had worthy successors?

Next, as long as the fusion degree test passed, Lu Chuan's Fusion Forging would be considered a success!

That was what the three of them thought, but Lu Chuan did not!

After the dual-alloy Fusion Forging succeeded, he turned and picked up a third piece of metal, Thunderclap Gold.

Without the slightest hesitation, he cast it into the fusing alloy.

The addition of the Thunderclap Gold instantly shattered the balance between ice and fire, and violent electrical charges began to dart wildly within the alloy, causing the structure that had just stabilized to fluctuate violently.

Lu Chuan's hands began to tremble, the web between his thumb and forefinger even splitting open, blood dripping down the handle of the Forging Hammer onto the Forging Table, evaporating into a wisp of blue smoke.

I grabbed the wrong one; I should have added the Life Crystal to stabilize the balance!

A wave of regret washed over Lu Chuan.

But since things had reached this point, he had no choice but to continue!

He first gripped the Forging Hammer with his injured hand, striking the side of the alloy.

Then, he used his other hand to grip the Forging Hammer, striking the opposite side of the metal.

Under the force of two opposing powers, the metal instantly began to spin.

And under Lu Chuan's rhythmic hammering, it spun faster and faster.

Under the powerful centrifugal force, those rampaging electrical charges were instantly pacified, distributing themselves evenly throughout the alloy.

Balance was thus established!

This meant that the three-attribute Fusion Forging was a success!

"Continue!"

Lu Chuan gritted his teeth and began the Fusion Forging once more.

Although his soul power was running low and his vision was blurring, his body still remembered what to do next.

He mechanically reached for the Shadow Steel, He pressed it against the surface of the alloy, which was still steaming with heat.

The devouring properties of the Shadow Steel immediately began to absorb the excess energy within the alloy, like a greedy sponge, drawing every unstable element into its own core.

Under the absorption of the Shadow Steel, the structure of the alloy became denser and more stable, while four-colored lights flickered alternately across the metal surface, eventually merging into a profound, dark hue that seemed to absorb all light.

Four-attribute Fusion Forging, success.

At this moment, no one in the evaluation room could remain standing.

Cen Yue leaned against the corner of the wall, struggling to keep his balance.

Master Blacksmith Elder Zhao sat directly on the floor, and Mu Chen leaned against the threshold, eyes wide, not daring to blink!

A fusion of four metals, in the world today, only the Godsmith Zhen Hua alone could achieve such a feat!

And judging by this posture, Lu Chuan was about to attempt the fusion of a fifth metal!

If he succeeded, it would create a historical precedent!

The three men were overcome with excitement, but at that time, Lu Chuan's vision had blurred until he could only see indistinct shadows.

His body was already teetering on the edge of total exhaustion, yet, relying on his formidable willpower, his hand remained steady as he gripped the final material.

The Life Crystal.

Finally, under the expectant gazes of the three elders, he pressed the Life Crystal onto the surface of the four-metal alloy!
