Chapter 26: A Thousand Pounds of Force

ith ninety percent spirit metal, then all subsequent suits of armor will have to be made that way. 。Then, have you thought of a possibility that may not exist If in the future you can't forge a strong...The second update is here! Seeking collections and recommendations.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The forging master's strength test is divided into left and right hands. Tang Wulin surprised Meng with his first test, as the strength in his left and right hands was very balanced, with only a slight difference in power output from his right arm compared to his left.

Tang Wulin gripped the hammer in his left hand, the spiral patterns on the handle sinking into the soft flesh and calluses of his palm. His grip was unusually firm.

Taking a deep breath, he turned halfway and suddenly swung the forging hammer. All his strength seemed to converge on his arm in that instant. As Tang Wulin exerted all his might, he felt as if a wave of heat surged from his tailbone, instantly filling his spine. The swinging hammer let out a sharp screech and slammed down with force.

"Bang—"

The mercury column shot up instantly, the deafening roar causing Tang Wulin and Meng Duo to experience a brief bout of tinnitus.

Mang rubbed his eyes, as if trying to confirm he wasn't seeing things. At that moment, the power testing device's electronic display automatically displayed the results.

"Striking force, four hundred eighty-three kilograms." The electronic voice was cold, but both Tang Wulin and Meng were stunned.

Last year during the tests, Tang Wulin’s right arm swing of two hundred kilograms already shocked Meng. This number had surpassed even Long who was already an adult.

In just one year, his power had increased more than twofold, and this was still only with his left arm... A nine-year-old child, a single-armed full-power strike could reach nearly a thousand jin. This was true divine power.

"Right arm." Meng Jin tried to keep his voice flat, devoid of any emotional inflection.

Hammering his right hand, Tang Wulin once again took a deep breath. In the depths of his eyes, a faint glimmer of gold flashed. He moved sideways and swung his arm again, just like before. A surge of heat flowed through his spine once more. The roar of the forging hammer became even more earsplitting, accompanied by a series of subtle air bursts.

"Boom—"

The entire room seemed to tremble slightly. Mag first covered his ears, but the intense vibrations still caused the forge to shake lightly.

"Striking force, five hundred and forty-three kilograms." Five hundred and forty-three Breaking through five hundred kilograms

Now Mo became bewildered. Though he had already guessed that Tang Wulin's power had increased significantly, he never expected it to have grown to such a degree.

At nine years old, he possesses the strength of a thousand pounds. This is already a monstrous feat. Although this is just an outburst of power, and it's generated by swinging a forging hammer. But the power testing instrument automatically deducts a portion that belongs to the forging hammer. The instantaneous burst can reach around five hundred kilograms. Even a general powerhouse Soulmaster might not be able to achieve this. At least before he reached the Soul Sage level, his strength didn't reach this level.

His level of spiritual power, why would his martial soul be a Blue Silver Grass! It should be a power-type martial soul. If his martial soul was also like a hammer, that would really be something else.

Tang Wulin was also shocked by his own strength. Although he didn't know what over five hundred kilograms meant, he knew that this kind of power was probably unmatched by most Soul Masters at his level. There were few soul skills that could compare to the force of a hammer blow from him.

"Teacher, I... can I learn Thousand Forging" he tentatively asked.

Mang woke up, nodded. "I didn't expect your power to have reached such a level. Go to your forge."

Back in Tang Wulin's forging room, Meng had taken out a silvery-white metal. "I've already taught you what kind of metal can be forged a thousand times. This is a piece of silver essence, which has excellent ductility and very good soul power conduction. Only by forging it a thousand times can this level of metal fully demonstrate its effects. Now try it."

“So-called a thousand forgings is not simply hammering a metal one thousand times. It involves repeatedly forging to remove all impurities within the metal and increase its density. Moreover, the greatest effect of a thousand forgings lies in sublimation. Only by forging the metal in such a way that it undergoes sublimation can it be considered a true thousand forgings.”

For example, the thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer you are using. 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 qualitative change, can its weight increase. This shows its ultra-high strength.

“The sublimation of tungsten steel hammer is the simplest, and excellent thousand forging can also produce some special sublimation effects. The better the sublimation effect, the higher the value of the metal forged by thousand forging. At the level of thousand forging, it must first be forged out of the metal itself, and then use the same method to forge it into shape. Therefore, any object made of thousand forged metal will be worth more than a hundred times that of a hundred forged one. Only when you reach the level of thousand forging can blacksmiths truly be considered as having entered the profession.”

This is a placeholder for text.

Tang Wulin didn't know that this entry, as mentioned by Meng, was something that ninety percent of blacksmiths couldn't achieve in their entire lives.

A thousand forges isn't just about strength, but more importantly about insight, especially an understanding of metal.

Tang Wulin had been studying diligently here for three years, and with the addition of his divine power, he was now qualified to attempt the Thousand Forging.

"Teacher, are there any tips for forging a thousand times" Tang Wulin asked.

Mang shook his 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 every means possible to communicate with it during the process. Only through perfect communication can you make it truly recognize you, find its secrets, and understand its patterns. Thousand Forging, also known as mental forging, has different methods and characteristics for each blacksmith who completes it. Forge with your heart and feel it."

"Yes." Tang Wulin nodded.

He originally thought that at least, the teacher would give a demonstration for him. But now it seemed, the teacher didn't have that idea and just left everything to him instead.

Open the forge, and place the silver ingot into the smelting furnace to begin heating.

This piece of heavy silver was roughly a foot square, shimmering with a soft silvery light. As it entered the forging furnace, Tang Wulin's mind began to recall what Meng had once told him about the properties of heavy silver.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

Deep silver, only produced from the seabed at depths exceeding one thousand meters, is a very rare metal. Deep silver itself is extremely hard and possesses great ductility at high temperatures. It is an excellent soul power conductor, and high-quality deep silver can even produce a 5% to 10% increase when conducting soul power.

Whether it's used for industrial or mecha manufacturing, it's an indispensable material.

But heavy silver also has its own problems, namely that it is extremely dense and therefore incredibly heavy. A piece of heavy silver just one square foot in size would likely weigh over two hundred kilograms, or even three hundred kilograms.

Therefore, even if its production is sufficient, mechs are unlikely to use it on a large scale. Weight limits its application in mechs. Large solid-state soul conductors use relatively more of it.

Silver is relatively uncommon in inland cities, but more common in coastal cities. It is also one of the major sources of income for some large coastal cities.

The piece of silver given by the teacher looked very perfect, with a uniform color. It was clearly high-grade refined silver. Its weight might be a bit larger.

Sterling silver is hard, but after being heated to a high temperature, it becomes more malleable. It is in this heated and softened state that sterling silver can be forged.led.It is also necessary to utilize various shielding facilities to avoid detection. 。The Green Skull Resistance can also be said to have good intentions. 。This Level 7 Soul Guidance Cannon Shell is p...
