THE LEGEND OF THE DRAGON KING
chapter31.peak special effects

At first glance, a pair of Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers did not look attractive. Their gray exterior makes them look like ordinary forging hammers. However, upon closer inspection, one would find a wave-like dark pattern that covered his entire body. The dark wavy pattern on its hilt even seemed to nurture endless power.

A spiral pattern is twisted along the handle of the hammer, all the way to the end, where it stops at a sharp point.

He had spent three whole days forging these hammers, bit by bit. During the forging process, he could feel in his blood that he was doing half the work for twice the results. Even though he worked with such efficiency, it still took him three full days to complete the project.

“Completed. Let's see what special effects Thousand Refined, ” Mang Tian told Tang Wulin. Even a master blacksmith like Mang Tian had pregnant eyes.

“Mn.” Tang Wulin nodded and gripped a pair of Thousand Fine Heavy Silver Hammers in his hand.

He had already made a series of measurements after forging them. The hammer in his left hand weighed 152 kilograms while the hammer in his right hand weighed 166 kilograms. Although this hammer seemed small, its weight could definitely be described using one word: astounding.

As Tang Wulin held onto the spiral-patterned hilt, he could feel the soul force in his body surging forward. In an instant, his soul power was connected with two hammers.

Although Tang Wulin's increase in strength was not small by any size, it wasn't enough to just rely on brute force when forging this hammer. Even if he had an innate divine power, there was still a limit to him being only nine years old.

When he sensed the connection between his blood and these hammers, it was as if they had become a little lighter. Moreover, with the addition of his soul force, his grip on both hammers became extremely stable.

Tang Wulin took out a piece of metal from the forging furnace he had prepared earlier. After a while, his eyes focused and he gave a light knock to the piece of metal with a hammer in his left hand.

Ding ding ding! Three fragile tones echoed.

Tang Wulin stood there foolishly while Mang Tian's disciples contracted for a moment.

“Try again.” Mang Tian said excitedly.

Tang Wulin once again knocked on the piece of metal with a hammer in his left hand.

Ding ding ding. Three fragile notes echoed once more, despite the fact that he only knocked on the metal once.

“Use heavy attack!” Mang Tian said deeply.

Tang Wulin's right hand was already trailing the arch in the air as he heavily hammered the metal piece.

DANG DANG DANG DANG! Three crisp bangs exploded. Due to the stronger attack this time, Tang Wulin and Mang Tian could clearly see that the moment the hammer made contact with the metal chunk, the, two blurry images similar to the Thousand Fine Heavy Silver Hammer had appeared behind him. Two extra ‘dang came from that ghost copy.

“This ..” Tang Wulin looked towards Mang Tian in confusion.

“Teacher, what is ‘Stacked Hammer’?”

Mang Tian looked at him with strange eyes, “You brat, you really are a little monster! I have never even forged a hammer with the Stacked Hammers effect. ”

After a few panicked breaths, Mang Tian was able to calm himself down. Mang Tian had thought that Tang Wulin's first Thousand Refinements would have pretty good special effects, but he never expected that it would be truly embarrassing.

“The reason blacksmiths use Blood Sacrifice for their first Thousands of Refinements is because it usually has good special effects. Thus, the Blood Sacrifice will connect the metal with your blood vessels and push the awakened special effects to its peak. As a result, almost all blacksmiths would have their first Thousand Refined masterpiece become a pair of forging hammers that they would use throughout their lives. ”

Tang Wulin was a smart kid, so he could immediately understand that Mang Tian had been prepared to give the piece of Heavy Silver to him as he took it out. Tang Wulin was not very clear about the exact value of Silver Weight, but he understood that it was extremely valuable. Especially since it was a large piece of refined Heavy Silver.

Mang Tian continued. “There are some amazing special effects that Thousand Refinements can produce, but only the effects that really fit its users can be considered perfect. I've explained to you before that the first mold of the Thousand Refined Metal will be the pinnacle. Any subsequent forging to change its shape would inevitably cause damage to its internal structure, thus affecting its quality. As a result, it is very rare forging the first metal to have a corresponding effect. ”

Tang Wulin clearly understood the meaning of his teacher's words. “So you mean the Stacked Hammers effect of my Heavy Silver Hammers is a peak special effect? Besides, this is perfect for my Heavy Silver Hammer? ”

Mang Tian nodded and smiled. “I'm actually a bit envious. After the blood sacrifice, this hammer with peak special effect can only be used by you.

“The so-called ‘Stacked Hammers’ is when an attack from the hammer causes resonance within itself, and creates a second attack, or perhaps even a third attack. You have a Three-Times Stacked Hammer, which is also the pinnacle of the Stacked Hammer effect. In simple terms, when you try for the Hundred Refine Metal in the future, your Thrice Stacked Hammers will reduce the required forging time by half! Two stacked hammers should have a strength of 70% and 50% of the initial attack. Once you gain better control of the Stacked Hammers effect, you will surely be able to do half the work for twice the results, no matter what metal you forge. ”

Tang Wulin asked, “Controlling the effects of Stacked Hammers?”

Mang Tian replied, “Actually it is very difficult to control. However, your hammer is the Sacrificed Blood and as such, it is like it is integrated into your body, making it easier for you to control it. ”

The Blood Sacrifice created a kind of fantastic bond between one's blood and metal. The sacrificed Metal Blood could only be forged by the one who offered his blood. As a result, the Blood Sacrificing Thousands of Fine items were the personal items of the blacksmith. Even if someone else sacrificed their blood, they would have to fake it themselves for the best product. ”

Thus, Blood Sacrifice was not commonly used when forging. Blacksmiths rarely make their own Blood Sacrifice products.

Tang Wulin fared poorly in the aspect of his martial soul and spirit soul. It seemed that he had finally found his luck on the path of forging. With the Stacked Hammers effect of the Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers, he would definitely be able to smoothly walk the path of the blacksmith in the future.

“You should practice diligently and quickly learn to control Stacked Hammers,” Mang Tian said. “In addition, try to keep your hammer secret. The competition in the world of blacksmiths was as strong as the world of Soul Masters. Until you can protect your hammer, you can't easily reveal it. Understand?”

Tang Wulin had yet to fully understand the meaning behind Mang Tian's warning, but he still nodded. He knew that whatever his teacher told him was for his own good.

“I'll give you this then.” Mang Tian raised his hand. Two metal circles were located on his palm. These two metal circles were gray in color, but were actually forged from Thousand Refined Heavy Silver.
