Chapter Twenty-Six: A Thousand Pounds of Strength

If you're inte...Here comes the second update! Please collect and recommend. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The blacksmith's strength test divides into left and right hands. Tang Wulin gave Meng with a surprise in the first test. The power of his left and right hands was very balanced, and the power exerted by his right arm was only slightly greater than that of his left.
Tang Wulin held the forging hammer in his left hand. The spiral pattern on the hammer handle pressed into the soft flesh and calluses of his palm, gripping it firmly.
Taking a deep breath, he half-turned and suddenly swung the forging hammer. All his strength seemed to be concentrated in his arm at this moment. At the instant of full force, Tang Wulin only felt as if a surge of heat flowed out from his tailbone, instantly filling his spine. The swinging forging hammer let out a piercing screech and slammed down with a heavy thud.
"Bang!"
The mercury column shot up instantly, and a tremendous boom made Tang Wulin and Mang Duo both experience a brief ringing in their ears.
Mang rubbed his eyes, as if wanting to confirm he hadn't seen wrong. Just then, the power testing instrument's electronic device automatically reported the results.
"Impact force, four hundred and eighty-three kilograms." The electronic voice was cold, but both Tang Wulin and Mang were stunned.
Last year when he was tested, Tang Wulin's right arm swing of 200 kilograms already shocked Mao to the core. This value had surpassed even Long Ge, who was an adult dragon.
In just one year, his strength had surged more than doubled, and this was still with only his left arm... A nine-year-old child, with a single-armed full-force strike, could deliver nearly a thousand pounds of force. This was true divine power.
"My right arm." Mang tried to keep his voice as emotionless as possible.
With a deep breath, Tang Wulin clenched his right hand once more. A golden gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes. He adopted the same stance, swinging his arm. The familiar surge of heat flowed through his spine again. The howl of the forging hammer grew even sharper, accompanied by a series of faint pops and cracks.
"Boom—"
The entire room seemed to vibrate slightly. This time, Mang was the first to cover his ears, but the intense force still caused the forge to tremble slightly.
"Strike force, 543 kilograms." Five hundred forty-three Breaking five hundred kilograms
Now, Mang was filled with bewilderment. Although he had guessed that Tang Wulin's power had grown considerably, he never expected it to increase to such a degree.

At the age of nine, he possesses the strength of a thousand jin. This is already a monstrous level of power. Although this is an outburst of force, and it is generated by swinging a forging hammer, the power testing instrument automatically deducts a portion that belongs to the hammer itself. The instantaneous burst can reach about five hundred kilograms. Even a general power-type Soul Master might not be able to achieve this. At least before reaching the Soul Venerable level, his own strength wouldn't reach this standard.
His level of spirit power, why would his Martial Soul be a Blue Silver Grass! It should be a Power-type Martial Soul. If his Martial Soul was something like a hammer, that would really be something!
Tang Wulin was also shocked by his own power. Although he didn't know what over five hundred kilograms meant, he knew that this kind of power was probably unmatched among Soul Masters at his level. Few soul skills could compare to the impact of a forging hammer wielded with this strength.
"Teacher, can I... can I learn Qian Dan" He tentatively asked.
Mang woke up, nodded, and said, "I didn't expect your power to have reached such a level. Go to your forge."
Back in Tang Wulin's forging room, Meng pulled out a silvery-white metal. "What type of metal can be forged a thousand times, I've already taught you. This is a piece of heavy silver, it has excellent ductility and very good soul power conductivity. This level of metal, only through a thousand forgings can it bring out its full potential. Now try using it."
"So-called thousand forging is not as simple as hammering a thousand times. It is to continuously forge and remove all impurities from the metal, increasing its density. At the same time, the greatest effect of thousand forging is sublimation. Only when the metal is forged in this way and produces a sublimation effect can it be considered true thousand forging."
For example, the thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer you use. Tungsten steel itself is very strong, and after a thousand forgings, its volume shrinks by one-third, while its strength increases by two hundred percent. Its sublimation effect is that its weight increases by thirty percent. The same piece of metal, only when it undergoes a qualitative change, can its weight increase. This shows its ultra-high strength.
"The sublimation of tungsten steel hammer is the simplest, and the excellent thousand forging can produce some special sublimation effects. The better the sublimation effect, the higher the value of the metal forged by a thousand forgings. At the level of thousand forging, it must first be forged into metal, and then use the same method to forge it into shape. Therefore, anything made from thousand-forged metal is more than a hundred times more valuable than that forged a hundred times. Only at the level of thousand forging can a blacksmith be considered truly入門."
Tang Wulin didn't know that this threshold, as mentioned by Meng Hao, was something that ninety percent of blacksmiths couldn't reach in their entire lives.

A thousand forges are not just about strength, but more importantly, understanding. Especially the understanding of metal.
Tang Wulin had diligently studied here for three years, and with the power of his divine spirit, he was now qualified to attempt the Thousand Forging.
"Teacher, are there any tips for forging a thousand times" Tang Wulin asked.
"I shook my head. 'There are no techniques I can teach you. All I can tell you is that when you're forging, treat the metal as a living being and try your best to communicate with it throughout the process. Only through perfect communication can you make it truly acknowledge you, uncover its secrets, and find its patterns. Thousand Forges, also known as Mind Forge, each blacksmith completes in their own unique way, with their own characteristics. Forge with your heart, and try to understand."
"Yes." Tang Wulin nodded.
He originally thought that Mang would at least demonstrate for himself, but now it seems that the teacher has no such idea and instead hands everything over to him.
Open the anvil, and place the silver ingot into the furnace inside to begin heating.
This piece of silver was roughly a square foot in size, gleaming with a soft silver light. As it entered the forge, Tang Wulin's mind began to recall the properties of silver that Meng had once described.
Deep Silver, produced only in the depths of the ocean exceeding one thousand meters, is a rare metal. Deep Silver itself is very hard and possesses strong ductility at high temperatures. It is an excellent conductor of soul power. High-quality Deep Silver can even increase the transmission of soul power by five to ten percent.
Whether used for industrial or mecha manufacturing, it is a highly sought-after material.
But even silver has its own problems. Because it's too dense, its weight is incredibly heavy. A piece of silver just one square foot in size could weigh over two hundred kilograms, maybe even three hundred kilograms.
Therefore, even if its production was sufficient, mecha would not be able to use it on a large scale. Weight restricted its application in mecha. It is used relatively more on large solid-state soul guides.

Silver-plating is relatively uncommon in inland cities, but more common in coastal cities. It is also one of the major revenue sources for some large coastal cities.
The piece of silver given by the teacher looked very perfect, with a uniform color, clearly indicating that it was high-quality refined silver. Its weight might be a bit larger.
Brittle silver becomes malleable after being heated to a high temperature. This state of silver is suitable for forging.art skipped a beat. "Two against six, we don't stand a chance at all!" From Yue Zhengyu's Holy Fusion Technique, it was clear that their companions were progressing at an astonishing speed. 。Ye Xingl...
