Under the scorching high temperature of the Fire Dragon King, the two pieces of Soul Refined Metal quickly began to show signs of melting.
Tang Wulin seized the opportunity, bringing the two pieces of metal together and beginning to hammer them with utter concentration.
The clanging that had briefly ceased rang out once more. This time, however, it was distinctly rhythmic, almost melodic.
Unlike Spirit Refinement and Soul Refinement, forging methods that directly enhanced the quality of a single metal, Fusion Forging placed a far greater emphasis on technique.
At this stage, the techniques a blacksmith mastered would suddenly account for a much larger portion of the forging process.
Spirit Refinement on Sentient Metal was manageable enough; one could accomplish it through cultivation or sheer persistence. But performing Fusion Forging on Soul Refinement metal required extremely advanced forging techniques.
Most blacksmiths, lacking an exceptional teacher to guide them, would remain stuck at this step for a very long time.
Fortunately, with Zhen Hua and Feng Wuyu, two top-tier blacksmiths, as his teachers, Tang Wulin did not lack superb forging techniques. Although there were still some techniques he had yet to fully master, he could use most of them without issue.
At the very least, completing a Soul Refined alloy was no problem at all.
