Chapter 287 Soul Forging Again
“Since this is a forging competition, of course we have to let them perform at their best.

The simplest comparison of strength between blacksmiths is the purification of metal. The winner is determined in one match. The metal used in the competition is chosen by the contestants themselves. The two of them only need to forge the best work they can forge at the moment. "

"As for the final result, let the two of us make the judgment, how about it?" Ao Hongchen smiled slightly and looked at Feng Wu Yu.

"Okay." Feng Wu Yu nodded. There were only two saint craftsmen here, him and Ao Hongchen. Indeed, no one was more suitable for evaluation than them.

Just like Ao Hongchen had confidence in Lu Fa, Feng Wuyu also had absolute confidence in Tang Wulin. He also didn't believe that there was anyone in the same age group who could forge better than Tang Wulin.

Moreover, this match was being broadcast live across the entire continent. It was possible that the Saint Craftsmen from other cities, or even the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua, were watching, so it was unrealistic to cheat.

"Okay, I believe you have heard the conversation between me and Dean Hongchen. Now you two should start choosing the metals needed for forging." Feng Wu Yu said to the two people on the ring.

"I choose Shenyin." ×2
Lu Fa and Tang Wulin said this at the same time. After they finished speaking, they were both stunned and looked at each other in surprise.

"Okay, then let's sink silver." Feng Wuyu was also stunned by the two people's choice, but he quickly came to his senses. Shenyin is good! Tang Wulin's forging hammer is made of spirit-forged metal. If he targets Shenyin, then he will have an advantage and it will be easier for him to awaken the spirituality of the metal.

Moreover, if both parties choose Shenyin, the criteria for judging will be even simpler. If the quality of the forgings of both parties is almost the same, the forging time, forging techniques, etc. can also be used to judge who has the better skills.

However, it was obvious that Feng Wu Yu had forgotten why Lu Fa chose to use Shen Yin for the competition.

Soon, two pieces of equal volume of heavy silver were sent to the forging table.

Both Ao Hongchen and Feng Wu Yu are top experts in forging. They only need to take a glance at the rare metals to tell that the quality of the two rare metals is almost the same.

"Now I declare that the competition officially begins." Feng Wu Yu waved his hand.

Both parties raised their hands at the same time and used forging hammers at the same time. They were both spirit forging hammers! However, the difference was that the forging hammer in Lufa's hand was platinum, while the one in Tang Wulin's hand was silver.

Tang Wulin looked at Lu Fa in surprise. He was familiar with this metal because he often forged heavy silver. So he knew very well that what Lu Fa was holding was definitely a spirit-forged heavy silver hammer.

But why is it platinum? Can the sunken silver change color? Tang Wulin took a deep breath and focused his mind. He stopped thinking about those things. The most important thing now was forging!
After calcination, two pieces of silver rose from the forging table at the same time.

The forging of both sides started at almost the same time, and both sides used almost the same method, smashing it violently directly. Yes! Both sides did not even use the tentative opening moves, and started the spiritual forging directly.

In normal metal forging, one would first touch the metal lightly with the forging hammer to sense its internal structure so that forging can be performed better. However, both parties simply ignored this process, simply because they were too familiar with the metal of Shenyin.

"bump!"

Feng Wu Yu's eyes condensed, and he looked at Lu Fa solemnly. That was one hammer forging a hundred times! That's right, Lu Fa directly condensed the power of blood and qi, condensed it on the forging hammer, and hit it hard, directly removing the impurities in the metal. He completed the feat of one hammer forging a hundred times.

Then, Lufa exhaled lightly, held the Spirit Forging Hammer tightly with both hands, and began to gently forge the Shenyin in front of him. Yes, gently! He had just purified the metal violently, but now he was forging the Shenyin with a gentle hammer.

During the forging process, he carefully controlled his Spiritual Forging Silver Hammer, combed the silver carefully, and quietly injected a little of his own blood into it every time he struck it, so that the silver could better feel his own breath.

"It makes light work of heavy things. This young man has found his own way of forging. Wu Lin is in trouble now."

Feng Wu Yu glanced at Ao Hongchen. No wonder the other party dared to let Lu Fa compete with their Shrek Academy in forging. Just based on Lu Fa's skills, many veteran sixth-level blacksmiths would probably not let him go.

"boom--"

On the other side, Tang Wulin was concentrating on forging the Shenyin, without the slightest distraction. He raised his right hammer and smashed it hard on the Shenyin. Then, he turned his body and brought down the left hammer.

With the left foot as the axis, the body rotates continuously, and each time it rotates one circle, the double hammers fall like meteors chasing the moon, and then rotate again with the help of the recoil force.

"What is this? The Tang Sect's Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique!"

Ao Hongchen looked at Tang Wulin in surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would have such a skill. So, this Tang Wulin should be a member of the Tang Sect, otherwise how could he know this kind of hammer technique.

That's right, the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique is the Tang Sect's special hammer technique, which is almost a recognized fact on the mainland. As for the Haotian Sect? God knows this sect.

(ps: This is true. It is written in the original novel that when other people saw Tang Wulin's chaotic cloak hammer method, their first reaction was that this was the Tang Sect's chaotic cloak hammer method.)
"It looks like Lu Fa is in trouble! This Tang Wulin may have average cultivation, but he has an extraordinary talent for forging."

Ao Hongchen was secretly worried about Lu Fa. He didn't know that Lu Fa had already reached half a step of soul forging. He only thought that Lu Fa was still a sixth-level blacksmith.

"Boom, boom——"

The double hammers fell for the seventh time, and the silver light shone brightly, and the hundred forgings and purification were completed!
Tang Wulin's forging never paused. The most powerful aspect of the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique was that after each blow, the next blow would become heavier with the help of the previous recoil force. One hammer was as heavy as the last, and it was definitely the most powerful and brutal forging method.

But the piece of heavy silver just jumped while being forged by Tang Wulin. Not only was it not damaged at all by the heavy forging, but the silver light on it became stronger and stronger.

"Boom, boom—" The sixteenth time the two hammers fell, a silver light shot up into the sky, a full six feet high. The silver light was bright, and there was a faint sound of a dragon's roar.

Although Tang Wulin was slower than Lu Fa in the speed of 100 forgings, he was faster than Lu Fa in the speed of 1,000 forgings.

At this moment, a platinum light rose up, attracting everyone's attention.

Thousand forgings are spiritual!

Tang Wulin's spiritual light that was six feet high was already astonishing enough, but Lufa's platinum-colored light rose to a height of more than ten feet, soaring straight up, swaying and waving, and one could even faintly hear the roar of a giant beast!

The Ultimate Thousand Forging Reappears! Compared to the first Ultimate Thousand Forging, the speed of this time is much faster.

"Ultimate Thousand Forgings, how is this possible!" Feng Wu Yu couldn't help but slam the table in front of him. How could it be the Ultimate Thousand Forgings!

Compared to those outsiders who only look at the surface, as a Saint Craftsman, he can better understand what these four words "Extreme Thousand Forging" mean! It means that Lufa has achieved the pinnacle of what a piece of metal can do.

Even he, a saint craftsman, might not be able to do this!

“I’ve really met my match!”

Feng Wuyu's heart trembled. Judging from the current stage, Lu Fa has completely surpassed Tang Wulin. The Ultimate Thousand Forging, this Thousand Forging Metal is definitely easier to awaken spirituality, and the quality after completion will also be much higher.

Experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement. At this moment, even some ordinary people who don’t know anything about forging can see from the rising light that Lu Fa is undoubtedly in the upper hand. …

"Hehe, it looks like your nephew is going to lose."

At the headquarters of the Tiandou City Blacksmith Association, at this moment, in an office at the top of the association, Makino said to Zhenhua with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhenhua looked at Muye in silence. Earlier, this guy had been vying to take Tang Wulin as his disciple, but when he heard that Tang Wulin was from Shrek Academy, he immediately turned hostile and drove him away. Now he was gloating over Tang Wulin's misfortune.

Zhenhua rubbed his brows, "You old fellow, that's enough! Didn't you want to take Wulin as your apprentice before? Why are you gloating over other people's misfortunes now?"

Makino chuckled, "Didn't you know that the little guy was from Shrek Academy before? And I've figured out some things. Our Benti Sect is already close to decline, so those red tape things are not that important.

As long as the little guy is willing to take me as his master, some rules are not that important. "

Hearing this, Zhenhua looked at his old friend in surprise, "So, you want to pass on your secret teachings to Wulin and Lufa at the same time."

"That's right. No matter how good something is, if it can't be passed down, what use is it? I have figured out a lot of things. As long as some of them practice the secret teachings of our Body Sect, when they become powerful in the future, they will also have some notes from our Body Sect."

Makino said with some relief, then looked at the scene in the barrier and said with a smile: "But this doesn't stop me from watching this annoying kid make a fool of himself."

"You guy!"

Zhenhua looked at his friend helplessly. He also understood how helpless Makino was when he made this decision.

Then he looked at the picture of the Ultimate Thousand Forgings and commented: "Lufa's forging skills have improved again. This time, his forging time is even shorter than last time. It seems that he has already determined his path as a forger.

On the other hand, Wulin is inferior. Although the Tang Sect's chaotic cloak hammer method is good, it is too violent and has a strong destructive effect on the metal itself. Although it can produce very good forging effects, it is extremely difficult to make further progress. "

……

At the competition site.

“Boom——” After successfully completing the ultimate thousand forgings, Lufa began to change the forging method, and his two hammers suddenly smashed down.

"Roar——" A roar came from the heavy silver in Lufa's hand. It was a cheerful voice, like a child waking up. The rich breath of life turned into floating white light and was injected into Lufa.

The roar lasted for half a minute before it slowly subsided. This piece of spirit-forged silver looked somewhat ordinary on the outside, but it was transparent, and the light inside flickered regularly, just like the beating of a human heart, indescribably moving.

Life repays!

Spiritual forging creates life!

This is the characteristic of the highest level of spiritual forging!

Has his spirit forging reached such a level? No, it should be said that it was forged with the ultimate thousand forgings. It is not a spirit forging creation, but a problem.

Feng Wuyu took a deep breath. He understood that Tang Wulin had already lost. Shrek Academy had lost! Even if Tang Wulin could succeed in Spiritual Forging Creation now, he had still lost.

Because no matter judging from the forging time or the spirituality of the metal, the spiritually forged silver forged by Lu Fa is far more valuable than Tang Wulin!

Unless Tang Wulin can perform soul forging now, he will never be able to defeat Lu Fa! But is this possible? The minimum requirement for soul forging is the cultivation of Soul Saint. Even if Tang Wulin can use the power of Qi and blood instead, it can only be spiritual forging at most.

"Ding--"

At this moment, a crisp sound rang out. Feng Wuyu looked up in surprise. He found that Lu Fa had not stopped forging yet? What did he want to do?
"Could it be——"

Feng Wuyu's eyes widened, with an incredible guess in his mind, how could it be possible? He was just a Soul Sect!

Feng Wu Yu looked towards Ao Hongchen, trying to find some clues from him, but he found that Ao Hongchen also had his eyes wide open, looking at Lu Fa in astonishment.

The blood and energy in Lufa's body surged suddenly, causing Tang Wulin, who was not far away from him, to sway and almost lose the chaotic cloak hammer technique. Fortunately, Tang Wulin managed to stabilize his body in the end and continued to concentrate on forging the Shenyin in front of him.

“Boom, boom——” The thirty-third hammer of the Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique.

"Ang——" The passionate dragon roar resounded throughout the entire hall. The piece of heavy silver actually began to give back a certain amount of life energy to Tang Wulin. This was actually also the creation of spiritual forging!

"call--"

Tang Wulin wiped the stains from his forehead. He had finally completed the forging. This was the highest masterpiece he could forge so far.

Suddenly, Tang Wulin found that the surroundings were terribly quiet, and no one looked at him. Although he had completed the highest masterpiece of spiritual forging creation, Tang Wulin felt a rare discomfort in his heart.

"Dang! Ding!"

At this moment, a sound echoed beside Tang Wulin.

Is he still forging? Tang Wulin looked over in surprise. Now he has already completed the Spiritual Forging Creation. Even if the other party is also in the Spiritual Forging Creation, he is undoubtedly the winner in terms of time.

"Ding!" With a crisp sound, a platinum-colored light suddenly burst out from the heavy silver. In the white light, there was a faint sight of a giant two-legged beast circling around the metal.

Lu Fa did not dare to neglect it. He took a deep breath and shouted softly. His aura became stronger. His eyes were shining! His hands trembled slightly, and a pair of heavy silver hammers struck each other in front of him. Then, the roar of a giant beast suddenly sounded from his body.

"Boom!" The blood and energy in Lufa's body surged violently, and then he hit Shenyin with one hammer after another.

Under the horrific impact, it was visible to the naked eye that the forging table used by Lufa had actually sunk slightly towards the floor as a whole. How much strength must have been required to achieve this!
Under the influence of that huge force, the originally spiritual Shenyin was suddenly compressed into a flat piece of metal.

No, you don't have to treat this piece of sunken silver like this!

At this moment, both Feng Wu Yu and Ao Hong Chen had the urge to curse.
