Chapter 408: Forging Heavy Silver

Chapter 408: Forging Heavy Silver

Lan Xuanyu said, I plan to use Heavy Silver as the main metal for my One-Word Battle Armor in the future. Although Heavy Silver isnt the best among rare metals, it is very malleable and has a strong fusing ability. If I were to perform Fuse Forging in the future, its affinity with many different kinds of metals is quite suitable and the difficulty would be reduced.

Yang Yingming blinked his eyes. Seems like you didnt waste time! You even know about Fuse Forging. Its just that its a little too early to consider this. However, Heavy Silver is a good metal for a One-Word Battle Armor and many people choose it. A cubic meter of Heavy Silver would probably cost around three yellow emblems. Buying it with yellow emblems will give you a bit of a discount, its more worth it than paying with white emblems. The Exchange Center has some. Our association also has some stocks and its the same price.

Alright, Ill buy here then. Sorry to trouble you, Senior.

When 100 pieces of Heavy Silver piled up in Lan Xuanyus forging room, he couldnt help but feel excited. After all, this was his first time buying rare metals !

He had been practicing forging for almost five months and it was time to test the results of his hard work.

The first semester of his first-year was about to end. After the final exam, there would be a short break of half a month and then the second semester would begin.

As the break time between semesters was too short, Lan Xuanyu didnt plan on returning home. Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng had already decided to visit him on the Mother Planet. Ordinary people couldnt fly to the Mother Planet as they wished and had to have a special pass. As a student of Shrek Academy, Lan Xuanyus parents were qualified to apply for such a pass.

Not only would his parents come, what also made Lan Xuanyu feel happiest was that Teacher Nana would also come, as Dong Qianqius guardian. Dong Qianqiu was an orphan and grew up in an orphanage. When she came to Shrek Academy to fill in the form, she wrote Nana as her guardian.

After the final exam, he would be able to see his father, mother, and Teacher Nana. Nothing made Lan Xuanyu happier than this.

He picked up a piece of Heavy Silver. It was square and wasnt very big, but when Lan Xuanyu touched it, he still felt a strong sense of excitement.

This was the first time he was using a rare metal in the Blacksmith Association. In the past few months, he had been interacting with ordinary metals every day and constantly trying to comprehend them. When he touched the Heavy Silver, it gave him a completely different feeling.

The Heavy Silver was gray with a faint blue tinge. It was very dense and heavy to the touch. Lan Xuanyu could vaguely feel the energy contained within the Heavy Silver.

Rare metals all contained rich energy, and this was already proven by scientists. The Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit that was made from rare metals had once become the most popular research direction and had produced many powerful soul weapons.

Many of the modern space warships weapons were born from this. It could be seen how useful rare metals were in the human world.

After placing the Heavy Silver on the forging counter, Lan Xuanyu pressed a button and began calcining it.

Yang Yingming watched from the side. He was actually very curious. He had never seen a student who had just started forging take such a long time to learn by himself. It had been four to five months! He had never asked anyone for guidance before. Was he just relying on reading books to practice his forging? Furthermore, he had never used any rare metal before. He really wanted to know what Lan Xuanyu had learned by himself after such a long time. It was time to remind him not to waste time. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to accomplish anything in forging.

However, he wasnt in a rush to remind Lan Xuanyu. Facts spoke louder than words, and when the truth was put right in front of him, the effect would naturally be better.

Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes and focused his consciousness. His entire being was in a state where his energy and spirit were in complete harmony.

Spiritual power, soul power, as well as his bloodline power. The three were in harmony, especially his soul and bloodline powers that were blended together and completely inseparable.

This was the result of his cultivation over the past few months. Ever since the evolution of his bloodline power and its ability to convert into soul power, Lan Xuanyus speed of improvement had increased through continuous cultivation and absorption of life energy in Sea God Lake. Soul power cultivation was no longer his shortcoming, and his bloodline power was also growing.

Logically speaking, after absorbing so much life energy and so frequently going to Sea God Lake to cultivate, his soul power should have increased much faster than the others. However, he also had to cultivate his bloodline power at the same time. In a sense, it was equivalent to cultivating two persons worth.

In the past few months, Liu Fengs soul power had already reached rank 38. The changes brought about by the White Dragon Kings bloodline were extremely strong, and with enough resources to buy all sorts of rare ingredients, it was extremely effective. According to Liu Feng himself, he would be able to break through to four-ring in two months at most. After enrolling for a year, he was jumping from two-ring to four-ring, this speed could by no means be considered as slow. In the second half of their first-year, they would begin to work hard on their Battle Armors.

Qian Leis speed of improvement wasnt slow either. Fatty Jin was indeed very miraculous. With the support of sufficient life energy, his growth was very fast and he could even feed back Qian Lei. Qian Leis soul power had also reached rank 37. More importantly, his spiritual power had even surpassed Lan Xuanyus and his speed of improvement was extremely fast.

Lan Xuanyus soul power was now at rank 35. He was already very satisfied with his speed of one rank a month. Even though he was behind his teammates, he still had the enhancement from his bloodline power and could feel himself becoming stronger almost every day. After coming to Shrek Academy for a semester, he felt like he had been reborn.

Buzz! A low buzzing sound pulled Lan Xuanyu back to his senses. The forging counter split open and the red-hot Heavy Silver slowly rose from within.

Lan Xuanyu squinted his eyes and silently felt the difference between the calcined Heavy Silver and the one before. It was as if the Heavy Silver had awoken from a deep slumber after being calcined and was emitting extremely lively energy waves.

Uncle Le had mentioned before that this sort of lively energy fluctuations were actually the metals own emotions. The same went for calcined iron ingots, but their level of activity was far inferior to this Heavy Silver. As expected of a rare metal!

Lan Xuanyus eyes lit up as he picked up the forging hammer with his right hand.

Yang Yingming had been watching from behind him the entire time. When Lan Xuanyu held the forging hammer, he was immediately taken aback because his movement was simply too skillful. It was as if he had gone through a thousand rounds of tempering. The moment he held the forging hammer, it was as if the forging hammer had become one with him.

Without guidance, how could he do this? Becoming one with the hammer? Even he himself was only about at this stage, right? But how many years had he practiced?

While he was in shock, Lan Xuanyu had already moved. He turned halfway and raised the forging hammer in his hand up high before suddenly landing.

Dang! Amidst the loud noise, sparks flew everywhere.

In Lan Xuanyus perception, this wasnt a rumble but a sigh of comfort. It was like a human being massaged.

Thats right, in a sense, forging was no different from massaging. It was like helping the metal open up its bloodline, allowing it to become more perfect and powerful.

The forging hammer bounced up high, and Lan Xuanyu turned around abruptly. With the help of the spinning force, a second hammer fell. Compared to the previous swing, this one was clearly heavier, and there was another loud clang.

Upon seeing the second hammer, Yang Yingming blurted out, Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique? Tang Sect?

Lan Xuanyu didnt pay attention to his words. At this moment, he was completely focused on the Heavy Silver. When the forging hammer was raised, he used the momentum to swing the hammer. Each strike was faster than the last, and also heavier.
