Without losing focus, he continued hammering in a rhythmic way, molding the raw metal to his heart's desire.
And before long, the metal began to slowly take shape of a long sword.
Finally, he quenched the shaped blade in a vat of water. Steam rose high as the metal cooled rapidly.
He lifted the sword and examined it closely under the light. It was simple and unadorned, but the blade was straight, and he felt the balance to be quite great.
A smile spread across his face. "Not perfect but much better than my previous try."
[Congratulations,] Yue Lan said warmly with a genuine tone.
[You've successfully forged your first Low Grade Tier One Sword. It might be the lowest rank sword, but being able to successfully forge it under a day is an accomplishment in and of itself.]
