Chapter 10: Learning to Forge (Part II)

With the previous experience of wielding a hammer and careful observation, Tang San quickly mastered the method of pulling the bellows while sitting in Tang Hao's previous position, although it was still a little jerky, but under his careful attention, every force was from the calf. Sure enough, as Tang Hao said, not only did he save a lot of strength, but the effect was also better than before, I don't know how much.

Tang Hao took Tang San's casting hammer and said lightly: "Swinging the hammer with all your strength to cast can give full play to your strength, but in the same way, once the hammer goes down, the rebound force will also cause a great load on yourself, if you don't have a suitable method to guide it, not only will it be easy to hurt yourself, but it will also make part of the power lose and cannot act on the metal." You have to take a closer look at my movements below, which will be the key to whether you can beat this piece of pig iron to the size of a fist in a short time.

Taking a deep breath, Tang Hao's eyes became focused, and as Tang San pulled the bellows, the entire piece of iron had been burned red, and the blazing flames rose, making the room extremely hot.

Tang Hao moved, his movements seemed to be no different from before, with his legs with his waist, with his belt on his back, with his arms, when there was a bang, the hammer smashed on the iron.

When the hammer bounced up because of the reaction force, Tang Hao suddenly turned around, still using his calf to exert force, and the rebounding hammer had been picked up by him, and he waved it in a circle, with a strong wind sound, and with a loud bang, it fell on the iron again, this blow was not only extremely fast, but also seemed to be stronger than the first blow.

The hammer rebounded high, Tang Hao's movements and the amplitude of the hammer seemed to have reached a perfect fit, not sooner or later, just at the moment when the hammer was about to reach the highest point, the body drove the hammer to circle around and smashed down again.

Tang San's eyes lit up, this was clearly a method of using force to make force, using the rebound force generated by the collision between the hammer and the metal to turn it into the power of his next blow, the action was perfect and coordinated, avoiding the damage of the rebound force to himself to the greatest extent, but turning this force into a continuous blow. From the second blow onwards, the power of each blow exceeded Tang Hao's full strength, but it was still under his control.

Tang Hao's movements are getting faster and faster, the casting hammer is hitting the iron as usual, the iron is constantly deformed under the hammer of the casting hammer, what is surprising is that Tang Hao's position is extremely accurate, whenever the iron is beaten to half the original thickness and begins to become flat, the casting hammer in his hand will hit the edge of the iron block, so that it flips, so that the iron block is evenly bearing his hammer blow, rather than simply being smashed into a discus.

In an instant, the thirty-six hammers had been swung, and Tang Hao drove the casting hammer with both hands to rotate in the air for three consecutive weeks before the power on the hammer was dissolved, and the hammer stood up. His face was not red, and he was not panting, as if he had not made the blow before.

The whole piece of iron was a whole circle smaller between the thirty-six hammers, and it was difficult to see the impurities in it with the naked eye.

This is the real blacksmith skill, what a beautiful hammer technique.

"Got it?" Tang Hao looked at Tang San, who was constantly pulling the bellows.

Tang San thought for a moment and said, "With the help of strength, I understand the truth." It doesn't seem simple, though.

Tang Hao said indifferently: "If you want to do it to my level, there is only one way, practice makes perfect." At the same time, you have to keep in mind that if you are striking a piece of ordinary metal, then, when it has the most impurities, it is also the most prone to breakage, at that time, when you are striking, the force will be smaller, and when its impurities gradually decrease, your strength can begin to gradually increase to maintain the effect of percussion. The key is the strength control. Practice slowly on your own. Don't blindly increase your strength and speed, accuracy is equally important, at least you have to know where you will hit this hammer, otherwise, what is the use of strength to fight again?"

The casting hammer returned to Tang San's hand, and Tang Hao turned around and went out.

My father didn't break his promise, he really taught himself how to cast, and, judging from these things that my father taught him, any industry has its own mysteries, and it is not so simple.

For the next half a month or so, Tang San practiced the casting method that Tang Hao had taught him every day, although he had the ability to control the crane and capture the dragon to assist in the control of the force, and the purple pole demon pupil to determine the position of his hammer, but this forging method was even more difficult to master than he imagined.

Since it is a full-force blow, it is difficult to control the power used by itself, and with the help of rebound force, it is even more difficult to control the balance of the body and hammer to the position you want to achieve. Without adding a single hammer, the control required will increase by a few points, and the constant rotation of the body will not only make the brain feel dizzy, but at the same time, the force of each hammer will be more difficult to control.

Fortunately, he had been hammering that piece of iron ore for a long time, and there were very few impurities in itself, and it was not so easy to shatter, otherwise, under his uncontrollable casting hammer, I am afraid it would have been shattered long ago.

However, in the process of this practice, Tang San's operation and application of Xuantian Gong, as well as the cooperation of controlling the crane and catching the dragon, the Xuanyu hand and the purple pole demon pupil, were all making subtle progress.

From the first day when he could only swing two hammers to deviate from his position, to today, half a month later, he can swing seven hammers in a row, hitting the iron block with unmistakable accuracy, and the progress is very obvious. At the same time, the iron is getting smaller and smaller under his full force, and it bears fruit every day.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the method of using the calf to exert force, with this method of exerting force, it greatly saves the consumption of Xuantian Gong, so that Tang San can have more time to pull the bellows and forge. At the beginning, my father swung thirty-six hammers, and it seemed that he still had the strength to spare, but he only had seven hammers, and he didn't know when he would reach his father's level. Whenever Tang San thought of this, he was extremely motivated to practice.

These days, he seems to have forgotten about the martial soul and the soul ring, and even when he went to the top of the mountain in the early morning to cultivate the Purple Pole Demon Pupil and listen to Lin Jie's knowledge, he was thinking about how the hammer should be wielded. Three months passed quickly, when Tang San could swing the hammer and continue to launch thirteen blows, Tang Hao began to teach him how to forge tools, Tang Hao's teaching method was very direct, that is, he did it himself first, and then let Tang San do it again, as long as he saw that he was a little beginner, he let him practice by himself, and there was not too much verbal guidance. Only in the critical places will the last sentence or two be said.

It was precisely because of this that whenever Tang Hao gave advice, Tang San remembered it very clearly. Lin Jie also gave up the class and let Tang San study forging wholeheartedly.
