This time, Tetsu no Sosuke tried pushing one attribute beyond the limits of the scale. The next second, all the data on the scale changed dramatically.
Raising the hardness and toughness attributes until they reached a delicate balance produced the golden ratio.
At that point, no attribute could be even a single point higher or lower.
The moment Tetsu no Sosuke added that extra attribute point, the entire scale underwent a sweeping change.
All the data refreshed, and the requirements for the other attributes rose.
Only that way could the golden ratio be maintained.
Tetsu no Sosuke paused for a second, then resumed his work.
This was a good thing for him, but it was also a challenge.
Raising the scale meant higher requirements for the stats, but the same was true of the iron material.
That was the foundation of everything.
If he could not even master the fundamentals, how could he possibly reach greater heights?
"So, to infuse more of the sunblaze attribute, I need to improve every attribute of this blade across the board and ultimately achieve the golden ratio. Then I can add more sunblaze. Only with balance can it accept more!"
With that realization, Tetsu no Sosuke was about to continue forging his Nichirin Blade when Yuichiro's voice reached him.
"Teacher, the Rock Pillar is here."
"Let him wait," Tetsu no Sosuke said without turning around.
Yuichiro opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only go back and pass on the message.
The Rock Pillar had always been known as the strongest Pillar.
Even with him visiting, Tetsu no Sosuke still refused to leave the Sword Forging Shed.
For the first time, Yuichiro truly felt just how far Tetsu no Sosuke's fixation on something could go.
