Subsequently, Xu Sheng turned his gaze toward the various metal blocks piled up next to him…
With the naked eye alone, it was impossible to discern their quality…
Yun Xiaoling, who was standing behind him, softly reminded him, "Mr. Xu, since this is your first time forging, you might want to choose a piece of metal with more uniform texture for forging!"
A Forging Master isn't just about having a high soul power rank, they also need plenty of forging experience and various techniques, or else all they'll produce is a lump of scrap metal!
Xu Sheng merely smiled at her, then casually picked up a stone block that was milky white all over and emitted a crystal-like luster…
He chuckled and said, "No need, this one will do."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Yun Xiaoling pursed her lips and said no more…
Immediately afterward, Xu Sheng took the two items over to the workbench…
Then he turned on the switch above, followed by aiming the nozzle, which was constantly spitting out fierce flames, at the stone block, and began to heat it up furiously…
Yun Xiaoling's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought to herself in surprise, "Hmm? Mr. Xu's technique is so skilled, could it be that he has learned forging before?"
Ordinarily, a person trying to forge for the first time wouldn't even know how to use these machines, let alone operate them!
After nearly tens of minutes, the crystal luster on the entire stone block had completely disappeared, turning a deep red…
Clearly, it had been softened by the flames, which was the optimal time for forging…
Shortly thereafter, Xu Sheng gripped the hammer tightly and struck directly towards the edges of the block…
A loud "bang!" was heard, and the struck stone block actually caved in slightly, indicating the strength behind the blow!
With several more hammer strikes, the edges were completely smoothed out, and the entire volume of the block shrunk by nearly one-fifth!
Yun Xiaoling couldn't help but exclaim, "That's amazing!"
She had seen other forgemasters at work, but none had created something with the beauty that Xu Sheng had achieved, especially starting from the edges like this; it was unheard of!
Just a few strikes had reduced the volume of the stone block by so much!! It was much faster than the constant hammering at the center!
…
At this moment, an elderly man with an unhappy expression on his face walked out of the soul-guided elevator on the third floor...
He ground his teeth and said, "Running out of materials in the middle of forging, damn it, I'll have to make do with some from here for now!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "bang bang bang" reached his ears…
He, familiar with the sound, immediately deduced that someone was forging!!
So, with curiosity, he quickly made his way toward the source…
Sure enough, the sounds were coming from the Amateur Forging Room…
This deepened the puzzlement on his face, as he thought to himself, "Hmm? Someone's using the Amateur Forging Room? It has been a long time since anyone came here!"
With that thought, he walked slowly into the Amateur Forging Room, his gaze landing on Xu Sheng, who was forging, and Yun Xiaoling, who was watching from behind…
The latter seemed to have noticed his arrival, and upon recognizing him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Master Mo…
Before she could finish, Master Mo raised his hand to stop her…
"Shh! Don't talk!"
With that, his cloudy eyes intently watched Xu Sheng, who was hammering the stone block with no apparent method…
As a Forging Master, he disliked interruptions while forging and naturally didn't like to disturb others!
Upon seeing this, Yun Xiaoling simply sulked and shut her mouth, shifting her attention back to Xu Sheng...
The continuous hammering sounds - "Bang Bang Bang" - recklessly arose...
Finally, after Xu Sheng struck his last hammer blow, he set the hammer down...
He looked towards the metal block on the machine, only to see that its shape had undergone a massive change. Not only had it become transparent and crystal-clear, devoid of any impurities, but even its volume had shrunk to a fifth of its original size, roughly the size of a thumb!
Xu Sheng's inky-black eyes slightly hardened as he said, "It seems I might have used a bit too much strength!"
He had only intended to give a casual performance, yet unexpectedly, he had managed to remove all impurities from the metal, turning it into something of the highest quality!
While he was pondering this, Yun Xiaoling looked worryingly at Master Mo who was standing beside her in a daze and asked with concern, "Master Mo, are you alright?"
Master Mo snapped back to reality, his voice filled with excitement as he addressed Xu Sheng, "Young friend, may I take a look at this metal block you've just forged?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him and replied indifferently, "Be my guest."
He had already sensed the aura emitted by the other party upon entering the forging room...
Especially the actions taken after entering had left him quite satisfied...
Having received Xu Sheng's permission, Master Mo eagerly walked over to the machine, gently lifting the sparkling, translucent metal with both hands, scrutinizing it carefully...
After a moment, he suddenly burst into laughter, "Top-notch! Top-notch! Hahaha! It's actually completely devoid of impurities!!"
If he had ever heard someone proclaim they could forge metal without any impurities, he would have definitely scoffed at the claim!
Even a Saint Craftsmith would find it impossible to achieve such a feat; at most, they could only come infinitely close!! There would always be flaws.
But today, he had witnessed metal so pure it contained not an iota of impurity, completely shattering his beliefs!!
Seeing Master Mo excited on his own, Yun Xiaoling cautiously inquired, "Master Mo? Could you have made a mistake? This is just Mr. Xu's first attempt at forging!"
If Master Mo did not have quite the reputation within the Blacksmith Association, she would have suspected Xu Sheng had brought in a shill!
Hearing Yun Xiaoling's doubts, Master Mo immediately denied, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I could not have misjudged, this purity of metal... not even a Saint Craftsmith could achieve it, how could someone create it on their first attempt at forging!"
The purity of all the metal he had forged in his life couldn't compare to this one piece in front of him!!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng merely shrugged his shoulders to express some innocence...
He could more or less foresee what was going to happen next!
And sure enough, Master Mo returned from his own world, turning his fervent gaze towards Xu Sheng...
"Young friend, may I ask a favor of you? No matter the price, I am willing to pay!"
To this, Xu Sheng declined without the slightest hesitation, "Sorry, I'm not interested!"
Upon witnessing his resolute rejection of Master Mo, Yun Xiaoling was utterly stunned...
It was clearly an excellent opportunity to ingratiate himself with Master Mo, yet Xu Sheng rejected him without a second thought!
Master Mo, having been rejected, stiffened momentarily before he realized his own impropriety...
It was their first meeting, and he hadn't even introduced himself before asking the other to accede to his request, which was indeed somewhat overbearing!
With this thought, he extended his rough palm, his tone tinged with a measure of respect...
He began, "Young friend, my name is Mo Yu, a Grandmaster-level Forger from the Blacksmith Association!"
