Chapter 37: Learning to Blacksmith
Xia Yi didn't respond to Master Ultron and his apprentice Wu Qian, and he was closing his eyes from beginning to end, which gave Wu Qian a kind of punch that he threw with all his strength but hit the cotton, and he stomped his feet with hatred, but he couldn't do anything at all.
"Okay, girl, don't be affected by him, calm down, don't forget that this is your test." As a fourth-level forging master, Ultron knew that the forging master could not be influenced by others, otherwise it would be easy to fall short.
Originally, he didn't agree with Xia Yi to be next to him, but Wu Qian opened his mouth, and he couldn't refuse.
And with the evaluator there later, Xia Yi would not dare to disturb Wu Qian.
Now he was afraid that Wu Qian would be in a mess because of Xia Yi's provocation.
"I see." Although Wu Qian was angry, she thought that she was going to take the forging level test soon, which was related to whether she could become a forging master in the future, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart.
Soon, a tall, tiger-backed evaluator pushed the door and walked in, and he was stunned when he saw that there were two children.
Fortunately, the staff hadn't left yet, and after telling him all the causes and consequences of the incident, he figured out what was going on.
The two children were "competitive", and the evaluator shook his head helplessly, and took the lead in saying to Wu Qian: "There are fifteen kinds of metals here, you choose one of them for 100 forging pure, I will score you according to the metal you choose, as well as the degree of purification, and if you score more than sixty, you can be promoted to a level forging master." ”
"Yes!" Wu Qian gritted her teeth and glanced at Xia Yi, who was still meditating, and walked to the metal shelf next to her.
She didn't notice that the moment she turned around, Xia Yi opened her eyes.
Fifteen metals, each of which is square.
These metals come in different colors and textures.
The evaluator did not tell Wu Qian what these metals were, which required her teacher to have enough understanding of various metals, and at the same time, she had to choose the metals she could do for forging.
The quality of the metal and the purification effect, the scores of the two are complementary to each other.
To be honest, this Wu Qian is really not very good, she has come to the forging master level test, and there are still more than half of the metals I don't know.
Fortunately, her teacher, Ultron, was by her side, telling her the name and properties of each metal one by one.
In the end, he chose a metal called red flame copper.
Xia Yi remembered that when Ultron introduced this metal to Wu Qian before, he said that the characteristics of red flame copper are one of the most malleable metals, and it is the least easy to be destroyed in forging.
The density of red flame copper is not very large among rare metals, and the weight of the square heavy silver is about three hundred catties, Wu Qian can't move it at all, or his teacher helped him move the red flame copper to the forging table.
"Let's get started. You have an hour, an hour, you try to purify this piece of red flame copper as much as possible, and you will get the corresponding points to what extent you can go. The blacksmith said as he took out a timer and placed it in the most prominent position on the forge table.
Wu Qian glanced at the timer, and there was obviously a trace of panic in her eyes, but she still opened the forging table as soon as possible, heated it up, and put it in the red flame copper for calcination.
One hour, calcination time is also counted.
The Red Flame Copper Forge lasted for almost ten minutes, during which Wu Qian did a downward stretching exercise, and at the same time took a few deep breaths, constantly adjusting her soul power.
Constantly adjusting their state.
At the end of the calcination, Wu Qian quickly pressed the button with her left hand, and the red flame copper, which had just reached the forging temperature, slowly emerged from the forging table.
She flicked her right hand on the storage soul guide ring, and a small dark black hammer appeared in her right hand.
Thousand forging hammer, the tester looked up at the fourth-level forging master Ultron, Wu Qian could not have the ability of a thousand forging, this thousand forging hammer can only be said to be forged by Ultron for her.
With the help of thousands of forging hammers, Wu Qian's chances of passing the assessment will be greatly improved.
Xia Yi looked up at the wall on the left side of the forging room, where there were also more than a dozen forging hammers of different weights.
However, compared with the thousand forging forging hammers in Wu Qian's hand, those forging hammers seemed to be inferior to something.
Now Xia Yi can't see that those forging hammers are just hundred forging hammers.
"Ding!" As Wu Qian's double hammer landed on the red-hot red flame copper, the Thousand Forging Hammer Bounced in response, but the red flame copper was slightly dented.
"Don't use too much force, lest the strength behind you be insufficient and you can't carry out a hundred forging deposits." Ultron hurriedly reminded that he knew Wu Qian's strength very well, if every hammer was as hard as just now, he would be exhausted if he insisted on fifty strokes at most.
Listening to Ultron's words, Wu Qian's next hammer really lightened.
"Pay attention to the echo, judge the degree of deposit through the echo, and strive to achieve uniform withdrawal." Ultron then reminded.
"Pay attention to the texture of the red flame copper, you can't destroy the red flame copper, otherwise you will be deducted a lot of points!"
"Ten more hits on the upper left, the echo there is obviously wrong, and there are too many impurities."
"Five hits in the lower right corner, a little harder."
As Ao Tron reminded one after another, the thousand forging hammers in Wu Qian's hands kept falling, constantly knocking on the red flame copper on the forging table.
At this time, Xia Yi had already come to the forging table, listening to Ultron's prompt to Wu Qian, while watching the red flame copper on the forging table continue to grow smaller and smaller in the beating again and again.
He was also observing the texture of the Red Flame Copper, and listening to the echo of Wu Qianqian's forging hammer falling on the Red Flame Copper, and his concentration even exceeded that of Wu Qian himself, who forged the Red Flame Copper.
He remembered every word of Ultron deeply.
Fortunately, at this time, whether it was Wu Qian, Ultron, or the evaluator's mind, they all had to be on the red flame copper, and they didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at all.
When she forged more than thirty times, Wu Qian's speed slowed down significantly, and sweat slowly appeared on her forehead, and when she reached fifty times, she had to release her martial soul, and as a white soul ring rose, she picked up the forging hammer again and forged it.
But at this time, it is difficult for her speed to increase,
"It's time! Stop forging! With the tester's order, after the last hammer in Wu Qian's hand fell, he directly released the thousand forging hammer.
Although her Thousand Forging Hammer weighed not much in physical strength, it weighed twenty kilograms, and he felt like his arm was about to break after fifty minutes of swinging it in a row.
"A total of one hundred and thirteen forges have been forged, which meets the basic requirements of 100 forging deposits." The evaluator picked up the forged Red Flame Copper and looked at it, adding: "The purity barely meets the requirements, and the comprehensive score is sixty-three, congratulations on becoming a first-level forger." ”
Hearing this result, Wu Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sat down on the sofa next to her.
She is so tired now that she doesn't even have the strength to show off with Xia Yi.
"It's your turn, what metal do you choose?" The evaluator looked at Xia Yi.
Xia Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I also want Red Flame Copper." ”
He only knows the Red Flame Copper best, and he can only choose the Red Flame Copper.
"Okay, you wait." The evaluator nodded, took out two pieces of red flame copper from the warehouse, and looked at Xia Yi's sick appearance, and without the help of the teacher, he kindly helped Xia Yi put a piece of red flame copper on the forging, and the other piece was placed in the metal selection area next to it.
Xia Yi didn't say anything, and immediately followed Wu Qian's example to open the forging table, heat it up, and put it in the red flame copper for calcination.
Immediately afterwards, he took down a twenty-kilogram hundred forging hammer from the wall, and went to the forging table to wait for the red flame copper calcination to be completed.
