Inside the forging room, hammer blows thundered like a storm.
Over the next dozen or so strikes, Xiao Cheng swung faster and harder. His twin hammers crashed down upon the Sinking Silver like a torrential downpour, every strike infused with both Bloodline Power and Soul Power, driving impurities from within the Sinking Silver at a visibly rapid rate!
In just over a dozen hammer blows, Xiao Cheng completed the Hundred Refinement process!
"Interesting?!" Seeing this, Yuan Hua's eyes lit up, and he involuntarily stepped forward.
Being able to complete Hundred Refinement in just over a dozen strikes already spoke volumes about Xiao Cheng's forging skill. Moreover, Yuan Hua noticed a vast force surging within Xiao Cheng's body with every hammer blow. It was neither Soul Power nor spiritual power, but a more primal, more rugged force—Bloodline Power!
Having lived for so many years, Yuan Hua had seen countless blacksmiths, yet those capable of forging with Bloodline Power were exceedingly rare! It was not that no one had considered using Bloodline Power to assist in forging, but Bloodline Power differed from Soul Power—it was an expression of physical strength and was difficult to control with the same precision as Soul Power.
Furthermore, most blacksmiths simply did not possess enough Bloodline Power to sustain the expenditure required for forging at a level corresponding to their professional rank. If an ordinary Level Five blacksmith needed eighty percent of his Soul Power to perform Spirit Refinement, his Bloodline Power could at most replace the effect of five percent of that Soul Power. It was practically useless.
But Xiao Cheng was different.
His Bloodline Power was so abundant that he hardly seemed human!
Yuan Hua could even vaguely sense the rushing sound of Xiao Cheng's blood coursing through his body, like a mighty river flowing
