Does This One Have the Makings of Heaven Forging, Too?
Sentient Alloy are different from ordinary alloys. Sentient Alloy require the fusion of the spirituality of two metals through Fusion Forging. If the spirituality of the metals is damaged during the process, the Spirit Forging process cannot be completed.
Moreover, because different metals have repulsive properties, some metal combinations cannot be successfully Fusion Forging.
The combination of Rare Metal required to complete the Fusion Forging requires the Blacksmith to experiment repeatedly, and the amount of Rare Metal consumed along the way is enormous. Therefore, it is a closely guarded secret among high-level Blacksmith, and only their disciples can master it.
But what did Zhen Hua see?
Huo Yuhao used a Soul Guidance Inscription Array to integrate the Metal essence into the Rare Metal, fusing the Metal essence, which represents the spirit and essence of the metal, with another piece of Rare Metal, directly completing the Fusion Forging process!
However, in Zhen Hua 'Divine Craftsman judgment, that Rare Metal and the Rare Metal represented by the Metal Origin could not be Fusion Forging!
Zhen Hua took a deep breath, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked solemnly, "May I take a look?"
Huo Yuhao gestured for them to proceed.
Zhen Hua picked up the alloy and examined it carefully. The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.
Based on his understanding of Sentient Alloy, he knew that the fusion rate of this alloy was 100%!
When the Fusion Forging completion rate reaches 60%, the alloy forging is considered successful. After that, for every 5% increase in fusion rate, the metal quality will improve by one level.
But that's not an easy thing!
Take his junior brother, Mu Chen, as an example. Even though Mu Chen is Level Eight Saint Craftsman, he may not be able to achieve a fusion rate of over 90% every time he Fusion Forging!
Extracting the Metal Origin and fusing Metal Origin together to create Sentient Alloy that doesn't exist in forging technology is simply miraculous!
This was the only description Zhen Hua could think of.
Beside him, Huo Yuhao saw Zhen Hua's complicated expression and calmly waited for Zhen Hua to come to his senses.
He said he had something that moved Zhen Hua!
In a sense, this can be considered alchemy.
The Metal essence is extracted using Siphon Rune Soul Guidance Array, and then Reverse Array is used to input the Metal essence into a new Rare Metal, allowing the two sources to perfectly fuse and create a new Sentient Alloy... Any Blacksmith understands the significance of this technology; it can create top-tier Sentient Alloy that theoretically do not exist!
Zhen Hua took a deep breath, glanced at the quietly sitting Snow Empress, suppressed his excitement, looked at Huo Yuhao, and asked thoughtfully:
"Are you Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form?"
Huo Yuhao proved through his actions that he possessed the ability to refine the Metal Origin and create new Sentient Alloy.
Zhen Hua found it hard to accept that a child possessed such an ability; it was tarnishing the reputation of their Blacksmith Association. However, Zhen Hua could accept it if it were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.
As Soul Beast and humans move towards peace, occasionally a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will transform and enter the Human World. Because of the existence of the Spirit Pagoda and Soul Spirit, most people will accept them amicably, except for those who are blinded by profit or emotion.
The person before him was so composed that he didn't seem like a child, and was valued by the Snow Empress. Perhaps he was a transformed Soul Beast from the Extreme North, which was why he had such abilities.
"Puff!"
Gu Yuena couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhen Hua's guess. Snow Empress also looked at Huo Yuhao and smiled gently.
The smile on Huo Yuhao's face vanished as if it had been transferred.
He glanced helplessly at Snow Empress and Gu Yuena, then turned his gaze to Zhen Hua and sighed.
Of the three, the two who were actually Soul Beast Transformation were not guessed, but the Divine Craftsman could be described as having "keen intuition"... although in a sense, he was one of them.
"Your Majesty Zhen Hua, would you like to see my Body Martial Soul?"
When Zhen Hua saw the smiles on Snow Empress and Gu Yuena's faces, he knew he had guessed wrong. Upon hearing that Huo Yuhao possessed Body Martial Soul, he coughed awkwardly.
Most Soul Beast Transformation are Beast Spirit. Some Soul Beast with special abilities can disguise themselves Tool Spirit, but I've never heard of Body Martial Soul.
"No need. Young friend, you've achieved so much at such a young age; it's truly embarrassing."
Zhen Hua stopped thinking about Huo Yuhao's background; it was none of his business anyway. He shifted his attention to the Sentient Alloy and asked excitedly, "Could you teach me the Soul Guidance Inscription Array just used? I can use it..."
He paused, glanced in Gu Yuena's direction, and finally said, "All the Heaven Forging Metal you need for your Four-Word Battle Armor will do in exchange! If that's not enough, you can raise the price as you like, as long as it's within my power!"
This technique could impress any Blacksmith, including him!
"We'll discuss this later." Huo Yuhao shook his head, and amidst Zhen Hua's disappointed expression, asked, "If we use this method to create Sentient Alloy, and incorporate the Metal Origin of the Ice Pole Divine Crystal into the alloy, can Your Majesty complete the Heavenly Forging?"
A fleeting look of disappointment crossed Zhen Hua's face, and he began to seriously consider Huo Yuhao's suggestion.
Such valuable technology is certainly not easy to obtain; let's take it one step at a time.
After a moment's thought, Zhen Hua affirmed, "If this technology can make the Sentient Alloy containing the properties of Ice Pole Divine Crystal more gentle, I can try Heavenly Forging! This technology can help me increase the success rate of Heavenly Forging!"
There was actually more than one reason why he was unwilling to attempt the Heavenly Forging of the Ice Pole Divine Crystal.
Besides the fact that the Ice Pole Divine Crystal Ice Pole Divine Crystal indeed precious, there are also issues related to its unique properties.
The Ice Pole Divine Crystal contains Ultimate Ice coldness. Once forging begins, it will release Ultimate coldness. Even Titled Douluo without Battle Armor cannot handle it in that environment.
Of course, if that were all, Zhen Hua would still have a way. But during the Heavenly Forging, the Blacksmith would be subjected to Tribulation Lightning, and the metal would also have to undergo the baptism of the Tribulation Lightning and accept the imprint of the Laws!
If the Ice Pole Divine Crystal were to undergo Heavenly Forging, the Blacksmith would have to face not only the Tribulation Lightning but also the intense cold released by the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. On top of that, he would also have to figure out how to make the Tribulation Lightning leave a better imprint of the Laws on the Ice Pole Divine Crystal.
The difficulty is multiplied several times over due to the lack of finesse; one wrong move and you'll waste the Ice Pole Divine Crystal!
Ice Pole Divine Crystal, this metal... is anything but obedient to Blacksmith!
However, if the Ice Pole Divine Crystal were combined with Rare Metal metal he was familiar with to form an alloy, its properties would become milder and more familiar to him. Trying Heavenly Forging wouldn't be a bad idea. Especially since the alloy created using Huo Yuhao's method had a 100% completion rate and extremely high quality, making it very resilient to Tribulation Lightning, further increasing the success rate.
Upon hearing this, Snow Empress looked at Huo Yuhao with some surprise, a smile appearing on her face.
Even though she trusted Yuhao's abilities, she never expected that he would have mastered the forging technology to such an extent in such a short time since arriving in this era.
The technology that can impress Zhen Hua can also help the Divine Craftsman increase the success rate of Heavenly Forging...
Even if you haven't returned to your peak, you're still capable of bringing unexpected joy, just like you were Ten Thousand Years Ago. It seems I'll have to thank you again this time.
Snow Empress smiled to himself.
At that moment, Huo Yuhao's voice transmission reached Snow Empress's ears, "We can't refuse this gift anymore, can we?"
Snow Empress said softly, "Of course not. You gave it sincerely, so how could I not accept it? It's just that the idea of giving gifts to repay favors is not advisable. You're used to disliking owing favors and you've even started to fuss over me. Don't do that in front of me again."
Huo Yuhao: "... Okay."
After a short while, having discussed the matter of Heavenly Forging the Ice Pole Divine Crystal Alloy, Zhen Hua looked at Gu Yuena with curiosity.
"I suddenly became curious. Your skills have already amazed me, so what is your so-called trump card?"
Huo Yuhao has already given him a surprise, so what about Gu Yuena card he mentioned?
If she could impress him, aside from technical skills... could she possibly possess the natural talent for Heavenly Forging?
Haha, just kidding.
