It was noon, and three great suns hung high in the sky. The raging, bright flames of the Sword Furnace seemed to reflect them.
Li Mo stood before the flames, taking a deep breath.
The temperature of the Black Fiend Wood Oil was about right. The temperature of this Fallen Star Flame seemed even higher than the Earth Vein Flowing Fire, and it was much harder to control.
Next, he smoothly added the Ore, stir-fried it over a high flame, and repeatedly hammered out the Impurities.
Everyone had thought that God Hammer Little Overlord's approach might be a bit unconventional, but they never expected it to be this unconventional.
Are you a craftsman or a chef?
“But the effect seems... not bad?”
Huo Bingzi noticed the change in the Materials, his eyes showing a hint of interest.
“Interesting, hey, this kid, I really underestimated him.”
Du Wufeng looked excited, as if he had seen something new and fun.
“...”
The apprentices of the Sword Furnace had strange expressions, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in their hearts.
They wouldn't have to go learn to be chefs for a few more years, would they?
“Reduce with high heat!”
At this moment, Xiao Li's raw Materials had been stripped of their Impurities, glowing brightly.
He folded the red-hot metal, then raised his hammer and forged it.
Clang—
With this hammer strike, he displayed his superb Hammer Technique, enhanced by Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements!
Before anyone could praise him, in a single breath, nine more hammer strikes fell, precise to the smallest degree, with even the force accompanying his breathing, without the slightest deviation. He was simply a merciless forging machine.
Ten hammer strikes in one breath, Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements!
Hammer Technique reaching the divine, forging both weapon and self!
The Eight Nine Arcane Art also began to make progress for the first time, taking its first step towards the direction of eternal indestructibility!
“Beautiful!”
“What a Hammer Technique!”
If the previous unique stir-frying method only made everyone curious or pleasantly surprised, this Hammer Technique for forging the sword embryo was truly breathtaking.
Even Divine Craftsman Du held his breath, revealing a serious expression. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Clang!!
The hammer was like a cape, sparks flew, and the force shook all directions.
Li Mo found that his current ten hammer strikes per breath were much easier than before, but he was not attempting the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form; instead, he increased the forging count of Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements.
Twelve forges in one breath!
He was still using the Seven Cycles of Qiankun Hammer Technique, and the Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body's sensitivity to the sharp Qi of weapons allowed him to precisely control the state of the weapon embryo.
“No wonder his sword technique is just a hobby; no wonder he is called... God Hammer Little Overlord.”
Xie Xuan had previously speculated that Li Mo might possess a divine weapon-grade hammer.
But at this moment, he changed his mind. Li Mo's Hammer Technique was entirely worthy of the two words 'Divine Hammer'!
“If I were to face him.”
Xie Xuan shook his head, realizing that his Yi Jian Shu (Chess Sword Technique) seemed to have become an illusion.
The premise of Yi Jian Shu (Chess Sword Technique) is that the opponent can only play chess with you, and must play chess with you, but what kind of chess can you play with a hammer? This is simplifying the complex, using one force to overcome ten skills.
Four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, one force to overcome ten skills, both are exquisite martial Dao, without superiority or inferiority, just different paths.
He found that besides summoning his Ancestral Master's wooden sword, he had no other way to deal with it.
“Did this kid learn to blacksmith in his mother's womb or something?”
Huo Bingzi was a bit disheartened.
Li Mo already possessed all the basic qualifications to become a Great Craftsman; what he lacked was only experience and accumulation.
“At least when he was in Southern Xinjiang, Brother Li shouldn't have known the art of weapon forging and blacksmithing.”
Zhong Zhenyue said with certainty.
“So, he only learned for a few months?”
“Less than two months.”
Ying Bing looked at the young man in the raging fire, forging steel, and a trace of the tranquility in her eyes was broken.
When she participated in the Qianlong Assembly in her previous life, she only used an ordinary weapon.
Now, someone was preparing the weapon she would hold in her hand in the future, swinging the hammer with all his might again and again.
Clang—
The sounds of the hammer were heavy and crisp.
“That's about enough.” freewēbnoveℓ.com
Li Mo began to slow down the rhythm of his forging.
He did want to continue using Divine Treasure Hundred Refinements to improve the progress of his Eight Nine Arcane Art, but while he could endure it, the Materials he was forging might not.
After hundreds of layers of stacking, this piece of red copper had reached its limit.
“Out of the furnace and plate it!”
“...”
Du Wufeng didn't dwell on the strange steps. With a wave of his hand, the Fallen Star Flame, along with the red copper, landed in his palm.
“The red copper has been forged to an almost perfect state.”
Red copper is often used by apprentices for practice, which doesn't mean it's simple; it contains a large amount of Impurities.
Based on the remaining amount of Impurities, one can infer the skill level.
But Du Wufeng had never seen or even heard of someone achieving this level after only two months of blacksmithing.
This kid was born to be a blacksmith!
“You can indeed forge a good sword for her. No wonder she kept thinking about having you ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ forge a sword...”
Divine Craftsman Du showed a look of regret, then blinked and said:
“However, you've only been exposed to the Dao of weapon forging for a short time, so you might not have full confidence in forging a famous weapon, right? Are you really not considering...”
“An ordinary weapon is fine too.”
Ying Bing looked at Li Mo, a soft glow in her clear, cold eyes, like an unextinguished furnace, beautifully captivating.
“It would naturally be best if I could forge a famous weapon, so...”
Li Mo coughed lightly, asking somewhat sheepishly:
“Your Fallen Star Flame, could you lend it to me for two days?”
“?”
You brat, you even want to fleece this old man.
“I'll teach you how to stir-fry steel.”
“Just two hours a day.”
Du Wufeng reluctantly agreed.
Then, after returning to the inner courtyard of the Sword Furnace, he confiscated Huo Bingzi's “the overbearing female emperor falls in love with me” on the grounds of neglecting duties for pleasure, deciding to start reading it today.
This book seemed to be genuinely useful.
So, for the next two days, every time Li Mo came to the Sword Furnace, he would see the old man holding a picture book, reading it with great relish.
Fortunately, Divine Craftsman Du did not neglect his duties for pleasure. While Li Mo was blacksmithing, he would occasionally offer guidance.
Li Mo thus improved his forging technique while refining his Eight Nine Arcane Art.
Of course, he also got beaten up in the Small World.
Princess Xiao Jiang did not know that after her profound and unpredictable Heavenly Venerate teacher guided her, he would still be rubbed on the ground by the Great Sage Projection.
Unfortunately, the progress of the Eight Nine Arcane Art did not undergo any qualitative changes within two or three days.
Xiao Li still spent entire nights being beaten to the point of doubting life; he couldn't win, absolutely couldn't win.
After being beaten, he would even fall into a state of low morale and a weakened Yi Soul.
But, this was not a problem.
Every morning, Li Mo would secretly sneak into Ice Cube's room to give her a massage, as a way to release stress after being beaten.
The primary targets of this release were Ice Cube's snowy feet and her long, slender, smooth, and not bony legs.
“That feels good. Massage is indeed the best way to relax.”
Li Mo felt capable again, full of inexhaustible energy.
“Is it possible that I'm the one being massaged?”
Ying Bing crossed her legs, pulling the blanket to cover herself, and gave him a faint look.
