Inside Mangtian Studio.

Tang Wulin gripped the forging hammer in his left hand, the spiral pattern of the hammer handle pressing into the soft flesh and calluses of his palm, giving him an exceptionally firm grip.

He took a deep breath, half-turned, and swung the hammer fiercely, his entire body's strength seemingly concentrated in his arm. At the moment of exerting his full strength, Tang Wulin felt as if a stream of heat surged from his tailbone, instantly filling his spine. With a sharp, piercing whistle, he swung the hammer and brought it down fiercely.

"boom--"

The mercury column instantly bounced up, and the huge roar caused Tang Wulin and Mang Tian to have a brief tinnitus.

Mang Tian rubbed his eyes, as if to confirm that he had seen correctly. At this moment, the electronic device of the strength tester automatically read out the number.

"Strike force: four hundred and eighty-three kilograms." The electronic voice was cold, but Tang Wulin and Mang Tian were both stunned.

During the test last year, Tang Wulin's right arm swung out 200 kilograms, which already shocked Mang Tian. Isn't this strength almost comparable to that kid?

In just one year, his strength had more than doubled, and this was with his left arm... A nine-year-old child could throw a single-arm full-strength strike with a force of nearly a thousand pounds.

Although it is far inferior to that monster, it can also be considered as a natural supernatural power.

"Use your right arm." Mang Tian concealed his excitement with calm words.

Tang Wulin handed the hammer to his right hand and took another deep breath. A faint golden light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He turned sideways and swung his arm again, and the same heat flow from before surged through his spine again. The sharp whistling sound of the forging hammer suddenly became more shrill, and a series of slight gas explosions were faintly heard.

"boom--"

Mang Tian was stunned when he saw the value on the strength tester.

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

Mang Tian regained consciousness and nodded, "I didn't expect your strength to have reached such a level. Go to your forging room."

Returning to Tang Wulin's forging room, Mang Tian took out a piece of silvery-white metal and said, "I've already taught you what types of metals can be forged a thousand times. This is a piece of sunken silver, which has excellent ductility and excellent soul power conductivity. Only after forging a thousand times can this level of metal be fully utilized. Next, you can use it to experiment."

"The so-called Thousand Forging isn't simply about hammering a thousand times. It's about constantly forging to remove all impurities from the metal and increase its density. At the same time, the greatest special effect of the Thousand Forging is sublimation. Only when the process of forging metal produces the special effect of sublimation can it be truly Thousand Forging."

"For example, the Thousand Forging Tungsten Hammer you're using. Tungsten steel itself is incredibly strong. After a thousand forgings, its volume shrinks by one-third, while its strength increases by 200 percent. Its sublimation effect is a 30 percent increase in weight. The same piece of metal can only increase in weight if it undergoes a qualitative change, thus demonstrating its exceptional strength."

"Teacher, are there any techniques when performing the Thousand Forgings?" Tang Wulin asked.

Mang Tian shook his head. "There are no techniques that can be taught. All I can tell you is that when forging, you must treat the metal as a living being and do everything you can to communicate with it during the forging process. Only with perfect communication can it truly recognize you and discover its secrets and textures. Thousand Forgings is also known as Mind Forging. Every forger has a different way of completing the Thousand Forgings, each with its own unique characteristics. Forge with your heart and experience it."

"Yes." Tang Wulin nodded. He had originally thought that Mang Tian would at least give him a demonstration, but now it seemed that the teacher had no such intentions and left everything to him. He opened the forging table, placed the sunken silver into the forging furnace inside the forging table, and began to heat it.

This piece of sunken silver was about one foot square, gleaming with a soft silver glow. As it entered the forging furnace, Tang Wulin began to recall the properties of the sunken silver that Mang Tian had once described.

Sunken silver, found only at depths exceeding a thousand meters, is a very rare metal. It is inherently very hard and possesses strong ductility at high temperatures. It is an excellent conductor of soul power. High-quality sunken silver can even increase the amount of soul power it transmits by 5 to 10 percent.

Whether it is used in industry or mecha manufacturing, it is a rare and good material.

But Chen Yin also has its own problems, that is, its density is too high and its weight is also very alarming. A piece of heavy silver that is only one foot square might weigh more than two hundred kilograms, or even three hundred kilograms.

Therefore, even if its production is sufficient, it is impossible for mechas to use it on a large scale, as its weight restricts its application in mechas. It is relatively more commonly used in large solid-state soul guides.

Sunken silver is relatively rare in inland cities, but is more common in coastal cities. It is also an important source of income for some large coastal cities.

The piece of sunken silver given by Mang Tian looked very perfect, with a uniform color. It was obviously high-grade sunken silver that had been purified. Its weight might be even greater.

Sunken silver is hard, but after being heated at high temperatures, it becomes somewhat ductile, making it suitable for forging. (By the way, is this related to deep-sea sunken silver mother? I don't think I know. If anyone knows, please share.)
……

Five hours passed, Tang Wulin's arms were numb, he was about to faint, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Tang Ziran stood outside the forging room with an anxious look on his face. Gu Chen also appeared here, with his arms folded across his chest, leaning against the wall, carefully observing Tang Wulin performing the Thousand Forgings with his mental power.

Gu Chen's progress in the underground training ground was pretty good, and he directly adopted 3×3 9 times gravity.

As we age, our bones and muscles gradually develop, and the pressure we can withstand increases exponentially.

This time, he just thought of the plot of Tang Wulin's successful Thousand Forging in the past few days and came here to join in the fun.

Tang Wulin's Thousand Forgings was still of great reference value to him. Although it couldn't help him experience the Thousand Forgings himself, it could still help him gain some experience.

Finally, Tang Wulin finished. He could no longer hold the forging hammer in his hand and it fell down. Tang Wulin's arms were almost numb, and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Mang Tian arrived at Tang Wulin's side almost at lightning speed. He didn't know when a small knife appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and slashed the knife towards Tang Wulin's wrist.

A stream of blood sprayed out and landed just on the shining piece of silver.

"It's done!"

　Ladies and gentlemen, you can probably tell that this chapter is purely transitional.
