Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 97 Shock Effect

"Hopefully, we can get a suitable Thousand Refinements effect."

Looking at the newly forged Thousand-Refined Silver Double Hammers, Mu Yang thought to himself.

For any metal, forging a thousand times is a process of sublimation and qualitative change.

This is not only reflected in the fact that the metal itself becomes stronger after being forged a thousand times, but also in the sublimation effect that appears after being forged a thousand times, which is also a very important component.

Moreover, perhaps due to the favor of fate, the probability of the metal forged by the blacksmith for the first time having a superb sublimation effect is very high.

It was precisely for this reason that Mu Yang used the rare metal, Sunken Silver, which was suitable for forging hammers, to break through the thousand-fold forging process and then performed a blood sacrifice.

However, the effects of the Thousand Refinements are not fixed and are like opening a blind box. In addition to the absence of the "Thank you for your patronage" message, there will be both big prizes and useless effects.

A lackluster special effect doesn't necessarily mean it's bad; it's just that this particular effect isn't suitable for this creation made of thousand-times-forged metal.

For example, his current Silver Twin Hammers, if the Thousand Refinement effect is "Sharpness", then this effect is a useless one.

However, the "Sharpness" effect, when applied to the thousand-refined metal intended for forging sword-type attack soul tools, is considered one of the best effects.

Therefore, the strength of the sublimation effect of Thousand-Refined Metal must be judged by the purpose of the Thousand-Refined Metal itself.

Mu Yang took another one-foot square, unforged silver ingot, picked up a silver hammer, and lightly tapped it on the ingot.

"bite--"

A crisp sound rang out.

It was obvious that the thousand-forging effect of the Silver Hammers was not the 'hammer stacking' effect encountered by a protagonist in later generations, but a smile appeared on Mu Yang's lips.

Although it wasn't a "hammer stacking" effect, Mu Yang keenly sensed a slight vibration within the silver ingot the moment the forging hammer fell.

Without hesitation, Mu Yang took the other heavy silver hammer in his hand. Immediately, icy blue ice flame soul power surged from his hands and poured into the Thousand-Refined Heavy Silver Hammers. He then used his forging technique, "Heavenly Gang Hammer," and the right hammer slammed down with a whistling sound.

"clang--"

A violent metallic clang rang out as the Ice Flame Soul Power seeped into the sunken silver ingot, transforming into scorching Ice Flame Fire.

At the same time, a strong shockwave reverberated within the sunken silver ingot. Under the influence of this shockwave, impurities within the ingot were shaken out, and its volume visibly shrank proportionally.

Using the force of the rebound, Mu Yang withdrew his right hammer, spun around, and slammed his left hammer down. Ice Flame Soul Power seeped in again, and the shockwave reappeared. The volume of the sunken silver ingot shrank again, and some impurities were shaken out.

At this moment, Mu Yang, wielding the heavy silver double hammers, resembled a wildly spinning top, striking out with both hammers in a very rhythmic manner.

For a moment, the rhythmic clanging of metal filled the forging chamber once again.

"tumultuous--"

A quarter of an hour later, the silver ingot, whose life force had accumulated to its peak, suddenly lit up with a brilliant silver light, illuminating the entire forging room in a silvery white.

The sunken silver has been refined a thousand times, and it's complete!

The time is fifteen minutes!

After reforging the Thousand-Refined Silver, Mu Yang did not perform a blood sacrifice. Under the illumination of the Thousand-Refined Spiritual Light, he looked at the Silver Hammers in his hands with great joy.

He was only a beginner in the Thousand Refinements stage, yet he was able to complete the Thousand Refinements in just a quarter of an hour, which was incredibly fast.

If it were the era of "Armor Hero," when the market for refined metals was mature, he would probably be counting money until his hands cramped just by relying on such efficient refined metals!

"Let's call it 'Shock Effect'!"

Mu Yang didn't know the specific name of the Thousand-Forged Silver Twin Hammers' special effect that could generate vibrational power, but that didn't matter. Regardless of how he acquired his Thousand-Forged skill, he was the pioneer of blacksmiths on the continent, and the right to name it was in his hands.

The vibrational force generated by the vibrational effect can be evenly applied to the entire object.

Just like the impact point of the heavy silver hammer is only a corner of the metal, the vibration effect can have a similar property of transforming a point into a surface, thus forging the metal as a whole.

Although the vibrational force acting evenly on the entire piece of metal is not the same as the force of Mu Yang's hammer strike, the two are linked. The stronger the force of the hammer strike, the stronger the vibrational force generated. This is undoubtedly very much in line with Mu Yang's "Miracle with Great Force" hammer technique.

It was precisely because of this that Mu Yang was able to complete the Thousand Refinements of the Sinking Silver in just a quarter of an hour.

On the forging platform, the dazzling light of the thousand forgings gradually faded, revealing the dull, grayish silver that had been forged a thousand times.

Just then, a surprised voice rang out from the entrance of the forge: "Xiao Yang, what was that silver light just now?"

"Auntie, that's the Thousand Refined Spiritual Light."

Putting down the Thousand-Refined Silver Twin Hammers in his hand, Mu Yang turned around and spoke to Shui Yanyu, who had been watching from the doorway for a while.

"A thousand-fold refined spiritual light?"

A look of bewilderment appeared in Shui Yanyu's eyes.

"It is a unique phenomenon that appears after the metal forging level reaches a certain level. I call this level Thousand Forging, and the brilliant light that it emits is called Thousand Forging Spiritual Light."

"Xiao Yang, you've reached a new level in blacksmithing!"

Shui Yanyu asked with a strange expression.

Although Shui Yanyu didn't know much about the blacksmith profession, she knew that when a blacksmith was forging iron, he couldn't make the metal shine with the same brilliance as before.

Clearly, this is a new trick that Mu Yang has come up with.

"Ahem~, Auntie, I think I need to correct something."

Before noon today, you could say I was just a blacksmith, but from now on, I am a qualified forge master.

Clearing his throat, Mu Yang corrected him with a serious expression.

Moreover, he is not only a blacksmith, but also a master blacksmith! Not to mention now, even in the era of Armor Warriors where divine craftsmen emerged, blacksmiths who mastered the art of metal forging could be called masters of blacksmithing.

"Alright, alright, you're a blacksmith, and a master blacksmith at that, okay?"

Seeing Mu Yang's serious expression, Shui Yanyu teased him.

However, Mu Yang has the ability to create new and innovative blacksmithing techniques, so it's not unreasonable to call him a "master blacksmith."

You should know that when it comes to blacksmithing alone, those three "master craftsmen" on the mainland haven't come up with any new tricks yet!

Well, it's because Mu Yang learned blacksmithing and made it clear that the iron he forged was extraordinary. Shui Yanyu specifically went to learn about the general situation of the blacksmithing industry, otherwise she wouldn't have known that the famous Haotian Douluo was actually one of the three great master craftsmen of the world.

"I dare not call myself a master craftsman; I am merely a forging master."

Mu Yang quickly waved his hand modestly.

Mu Yang knew very well what a true master craftsman was and what his skill level was, and he, a newbie who had only recently embarked on the path of forging, dared not try to challenge him.
