Chapter 155: Success in Hundred Refinements

Chapter 155: Success in Hundred Refinements

"Let's begin now."

Wang Si glanced at the few rare metals that Liuyu had taken away. They were all common rare metals.

However, Liuyu's eyes were fixed on the expensive rare metal, making no attempt to hide her desire. "I want that rare metal, but I know it's worth far more than I can afford."

Wang Si chose to ignore the longing look in the girl's eyes. If one wasn't willing to take a bold step forward, they would never achieve anything extraordinary.

Paying no heed to Liuyu's disappointed expression, Wang Si reached out and took one of the rare metals.

"Actually, before asking you to teach me, I also gathered some information online and studied it on my own for a while.

Let me show you the results of my self-study first, and then you can point out my shortcomings."

Liuyu nodded slightly as she saw the metal Wang Si picked up, which he would use for forging.

Chenyin, a metal with extremely high density and a very stable structure. This rare metal couldn't be considered precious, but it was decent.

Most master craftsmen liked to use this metal when teaching newcomers.

The fact that Wang Si could directly take out this metal showed that he had indeed put in some effort beforehand.

What Liuyu didn't know was that Wang Si's idea of advance learning merely entailed watching a few forging videos and explanations online after ordering the necessary materials, and then trying his hand at it the day before her arrival.

Holding the Lingduan forging hammer, Wang Si took a deep breath.

In this world, his strength was indeed greatly restricted.

However, having a body that was highly compatible with his soul was like being reborn.

During the time he spent in the orphanage before Gu Yue took him in, Wang Si had already familiarized himself with the operation of the Hundred Refinements Bone, Thousand Refinements Blood, and Ten Thousand Thoughts Soul techniques.

Among the several cultivation techniques, the Ten Thousand Thoughts Soul was the one Wang Si had cultivated the fastest. According to the standards of this world, his mental power should have been close to the Spirit Abyss realm: he would soon be able to directly absorb hundred-thousand-year soul rings.

Although his mental power was now back at the Spirit Origin realm due to his rebirth, Wang Si could still do quite a lot with the small amount of mental power he currently possessed.

For example, he could sense the state of the metal in front of him and determine that the temperature of the Chenyin had risen sufficiently. Wang Si raised the forging hammer in his hand.

Holding the Lingduan metal-forged hammer, Wang Si felt that these hammers were an extension of his own arms.

As the hammer struck the metal, Wang Si felt as if his spirit had been scorched.

Although he had been "burned," Wang Si had also clearly sensed the internal texture of the metal with that strike.

This discovery raised Wang Si's eyebrows. He hadn't expected that using the Lingduan forging hammer would have such a wonderful effect.

The hammer continued to fall, strike after strike, landing precisely on the red-hot Chenyin, filling the air with the relentless clangor of metalworking.

At first, Wang Si's spirit still felt a little sore after being "burned," but as time went on, he gradually became accustomed to this level of pain.

It was like punching a sandbag; at first, one's fists would hurt, but over time, they would become tougher, and the pain would lessen.

Forging was indeed a form of physical and spiritual cultivation.

Liuyu quietly observed Wang Si's forging movements and soon frowned.

She noticed that the young man in front of her had unknowingly closed his eyes.

However, his hands still held the forging hammer, and strike after strike landed accurately on the metal.

The fact that he instinctively knew how to extend his senses through the forging hammer on his first attempt was astonishing.

If not for his crude and unrefined technique, Liuyu would have thought that he was a reincarnated master forger.

After all, this kind of plot was quite common in some novels.

Ding, ding, ding, ding...

The rhythmic tapping continued, and before she knew it, Liuyu found herself entranced, watching with rapt attention.

Setting aside the young man's forging techniques, his state of unity with the hammer also inspired Liuyu to start taking her own training more seriously.

This particular state of mind was extremely important for forgers.

Ding~~

Two hours passed, and a sound that Liuyu was all too familiar with rang out. However, so engrossed was she in her observation that she didn't find anything amiss.

Another hour went by before Wang Si finally heaved a sigh and frowned at the metal in front of him, feeling a bit helpless.

According to his perception, there were no more impurities in the metal, but this didn't seem to be the end of the process.

He felt that if he continued forging, he might come into contact with something else, but unfortunately, his stamina wasn't enough.

Turning his head, Wang Si saw Liuyu staring at him in shock, and he was a bit perplexed.

"Stop staring at me like that. Based on my forging level just now, do you think there's anything I need to correct?" Wang Si asked.

Wang Si's words snapped Liuyu out of her trance.

"Your forging technique does have some issues. Let me demonstrate first, then you can observe my technique and we can correct your previous movements afterward," Liuyu suggested.

Picking up her forging hammer, Liuyu was just about to bring it down when she froze, staring intently at the metal in front of her.

The amount of impurities in this metal was astonishingly low; it had already reached the level of a hundred-refined metal.

A hundred-refined metal didn't refer to the number of times the metal had been struck, but rather, it was a standard for the level of impurities within the metal.

The metal that Wang Si had been forging had its internal impurities thoroughly removed, and it could be considered a top-quality hundred-refined metal.

Liuyu exhaled sharply, forcing herself to calm down.

Raising the hammer, she suppressed her excitement and began to demonstrate the process to Wang Si.

…………

"Hey, Teacher, I found a genius today! On his first attempt at holding a forging hammer, he was able to create a hundred-refined piece!

If it weren't for his lack of physical and mental stamina, he might have been able to complete a thousand refinements directly!"

After finishing her lesson with Wang Si, while he returned to his room to cultivate and recover from the soreness in his arms, Liuyu eagerly took out her soul guide communicator and dialed a number.

In the Shrek Academy, a middle-aged man who had just finished his own forging session and was about to head back to his room for some rest, frowned imperceptibly upon hearing the voice coming from his soul guide communicator.

"A hundred refinements on the first try? That's impressive, but what's the point?" The middle-aged man's tone was unreadable, and he seemed unimpressed by the notion of a 'first-try hundred refinement', finding it a bit far-fetched.

He was all too aware of how much his student longed to return to Shrek, but what she had done in the past was truly...

Exhaling sharply, the middle-aged man hung up the call and immediately added the number to his blacklist.

If it weren't for the fact that changing his number would make it difficult for many people to contact him, he would have liked to change his soul guide communicator number right then and there.
