Chapter 725 A Clash of Titans: Extreme Pursuit and Steadfast Composure

Those with the passive ability of elemental affinity can clearly sense the state of the elements in front of them without touching them, and whether it is a good time to open the inscription.

Metal is naturally an element, and other professions cannot determine this, so they cannot do crafting and equipment enhancement well.

Their understanding of forging techniques was also different from Lin Yi's.

There is no skill called Enhancement in their skill list.

Regarding enhancement methods, the enhancement masters of the Divine Forging Bureau only have the experience and insights gained from millions of hammer blows.

Therefore, it is quite difficult for them to get promoted.

In fact, Lin Yi was capable of mastering enhancement skills as a mage.

That's right, this is without having the Enhancement skill in your skill bar.

Warriors and tanks can sense the state of smelting metal through passive skills.

Lin Yi, however, can use the [All-Seeing Eye] to control this state even more precisely.

It was only because Sun Dachuan's insights on equipment crafting and enhancement were too abstract that Lin Yi hadn't considered becoming an enhancement master before.

After mastering the enhancement technique, I found that my understanding of it was much simpler and more direct.

Sun Dachuan watched Lin Yi swing his hammer, the sound like ocean waves, endless and powerful.

The force of the hammer strike was just right, like a harmonious blend of high mountains and flowing water.

Moreover, his hammer strikes were incredibly fast and decisive, unlike what one would expect from a beginner. He was almost as good as my own.

It was at this moment that Sun Dachuan realized that Lin Yi's words, "Just fight as usual, don't worry about me," were true and meant no part of saving face.

Seeing that Lin Yi had upgraded the equipment to +7 in less than a minute, Sun Dachuan smiled.

Lin Yi is indeed Lin Yi; he has always been the same Lin Yi.

Nothing can stump him, even if the matter has absolutely nothing to do with his profession.

Ding!
Sun Dachuan showed no weakness.

After realizing he needed to give it his all, he became serious.

With just the right amount of force, the hammer fell, and a clear crack appeared on the Chaos Hammer in front of him.

Then, he carved inscriptions into the crack, infused it with his own source power, and then, with a perfectly timed hammer blow, he closed the crack completely.

"Wow, as expected of Brother Sun, he's amazing! Even for just +1, it would take me more than a dozen hammer blows to inscribe the first rune. Brother Sun's efficiency is incredible!"

"You bastard, you have no manners at all! You call me 'Brother Sun'? Call me Director Sun!"

"But the Dean is also amazing. Didn't you guys notice? Although the Dean's hammer strikes weren't as decisive as Brother Sun's, the force of his hammer blows was just right, and the gaps he created were just enough to carve the inscriptions."

"Hey, what you say makes sense. Dean Lin did everything in one go. I was so focused on admiring Dean Lin's elegant hammer technique that I forgot he had already reached +7 level!"

When Sun Dachuan and Lin Yi unleashed their true power, the group from the Divine Forging Bureau realized that Sun Dachuan, whom they had spent every day with, was actually such an amazing figure.

Indeed, in terms of enhancement technology, Sun Dachuan has reached the pinnacle.

The skill he has achieved is almost the same as the upper limit that Lin Yi could reach with his skills.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has an innately enhanced divine body!
Sun Dachuan's hammer strikes were more decisive, unlike Lin Yi's steady pace. The sharp, swift wind surrounding his entire body highlighted Sun Dachuan's confidence from head to toe.

That was the experience gained from years of relentless hammering, day and night.

He has developed muscle memory for where each hammer should land, how much force should be used, and how much force should be reduced at each stage. He understands the properties of metal and the linkage between each reinforcing crack perfectly!
This! This is the strength of Sun Dachuan, the number one enhanced person in Shenxiao!

With his innate skill and confidence, Sun Dachuan quickly caught up with Lin Yi's pace.

When Lin Yi was enhancing the weapon to +8, he swung a total of eight times, but Sun Dachuan still only used one blow to defeat him.

The same thing happened at +9, thus bringing both of them into the +10 enhancement stage.

To ensure fairness, the equipment Lin Yi enhanced was also a hammer.

Despite the large size of the hammer, there were already nine deep cracks on these two weapons.

In order not to damage the cracks where the inscription had already been carved, Sun Dachuan could not finish the job with a single blow.

Both of them were carefully sensing the state of the metal on the weapons, feeling the changes that occurred in each engraved crack under the impact, and skillfully using their coordination.

Even so, the two of them were still very fast, and each hammer blow landed without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if the correct answer would appear before their eyes at any moment; the exact location and force of each hammer blow were written on the equipment that needed strengthening.

Many of the apprentices at the Divine Forging Bureau were dumbfounded.

This is nothing.

Not only Director Sun, but even Dean Lin's speed was so fast that it was impossible to see clearly. Those who were observing hadn't even figured out the principle behind the first hammer blow when Lin Yi's third hammer blow had already landed.

It's said that the men of the Divine Forging Bureau are big and burly, but the work they do is just as skillful as those healer professionals in their mastery of source energy.

Roughness within finesse, finesse within roughness, a perfect blend of power and gentleness; each strike is like a highly entertaining martial arts move, dazzling the viewer.

"No way, what kind of monster is Dean Lin? Isn't he a mage? I can't say anything if a mage can fight, but why is Dean Lin so good at enhancing equipment? Are we all about to lose our jobs?"

"Good heavens! I thought Dean Lin was all-powerful only on the battlefield, but I didn't expect him to be so capable in equipment enhancement as well. It's incredible! Good heavens! Luckily, I turned on the recording equipment in advance, otherwise, this historic moment would not have been able to be seen by the whole world."

"Hey, you're right. It just so happens that my childhood friend works in the news media. I quickly filmed it and sent him this firsthand video."

Strengthening is a physically demanding task.

Even though Sun Dachuan swung the sledgehammer almost every day, his physical strength was still limited.

Each hammer blow falls in the most perfect way; this control of power is extremely physically demanding.

In contrast, Lin Yi, with his unlimited stamina, had no worries about the depletion of his strength.

The number of hammers that had initially created a gap was gradually being caught up, causing Sun Dachuan's hard-won speed to be pulled back again.

Seeing that Lin Yi's forging speed was on par with his own, and both of them had reached the +21 stage, Sun Dachuan's blood was boiling.

"Dude, that's amazing!"

"It's only been a few days. No wonder the principal always says you're a genius."
