Chapter 12 Forging a Prodigy?
"Have you finished eating?" Feng Wu Yu looked at Gu You, whose mouth was full of oil. The child got up early and said he was hungry and wanted to eat. He originally thought how much a child could eat, so he shared his breakfast with Gu You. Unexpectedly, he ate it all. Moreover, the ingredients used for cooking were all centuries-old natural treasures, containing huge amounts of energy. Feng Wu Yu had no idea how good the appetite of the child in front of him was.

Gu You stroked his belly and nodded.

"Today's task is to hammer this piece of tungsten steel a thousand times. You can use your soul power. During the hammering process, listen quietly to the sound and distinguish the purity of the impurities. This kind of comprehension can only rely on you, and it also determines your talent for forging." The scene changed, and Feng Wu Yu pointed to a piece of silver-white steel and said.

"Good!" The two golden hammers of life from yesterday appeared quietly. The wound on his arm had long since recovered. Even Feng Wu Yu was very surprised when he saw Gu You full of energy in the morning. The recovery ability was like a humanoid medical machine.

Gu You just went all out, his martial spirit possessed him, purple scales covered his palms, and the bang bang sounds of the blows continued.

Seeing this, Feng Wu Yu looked at Gu You's martial soul curiously. His martial soul was trembling, which meant that Gu You's martial soul must be above his martial soul level.

No wonder he is so strong, it might be a True Dragon Martial Spirit of pure strength, Feng Wu Yu thought to himself.

"Okay! We're done." Gu You shook the sweat off his head and feet.

"Got it... What! Finished? It's only been five minutes, are you sure?" Feng Wu Yu spat. He had only been thinking for five minutes, and it was already over? One hammer per second wasn't enough!

"It's really over. The hammer is so light that it can hit three or four times in one second." Gu You felt a little aggrieved.

Feng Wuyu looked at the tungsten steel that Xiang Guyou had hammered a thousand times, and his eyes suddenly condensed. Thousand-thousand forgings? Although it is the lowest quality, the impurities in this tungsten steel are indeed gone, and it has a sublimation special effect!
How can it be?

A child who has never learned any Thousand Forging techniques can become a Thousand Forging by just randomly hitting him?
The so-called Thousand Forging is by no means as simple as hammering it a thousand times with a hammer, but rather it is to remove impurities through continuous and careful hammering and increase its density. At the same time, the greatest feature of Thousand Forging is sublimation.

Only when the metal is forged to produce sublimation effects can it be truly forged.

For example, a piece of tungsten steel has great strength in itself. After thousands of forgings, its volume will be reduced by one third, while its strength will be increased by 200%. Its sublimation characteristic is that its weight will increase by 30%.

The same piece of metal can only increase its weight and thus demonstrate its super high strength if it undergoes a qualitative change.

Sublimation like tungsten steel is the simplest. The best thousand forgings can also produce some special sublimation effects. The better the sublimation effect, the higher the price of the metal produced.

When it comes to the level of Qianduan, Qianduan must first produce the metal itself, and then use the same technique to forge it into shape.

Therefore, things made from Thousand-Forged Metal are hundreds of times more valuable than the Hundred-Segment Metal that can be forged by ordinary people. Only when a blacksmith reaches this level can he be considered a true beginner.

But even such a thousand forgings is impossible for 90% of blacksmiths to achieve in their lifetime.

Thousand forgings not only require strength and soul power, but more importantly, understanding, especially the understanding of metals.

Gu You had only learned forging for two days, but he was able to forge a piece of Thousand-forged Metal by randomly hammering it out. This was enough to show the strength of his talent for forging. Although the sublimation effect was quite useless, only increasing the weight by 2%, it was still incomparable to Hundred-forged Metal and had a certain amount of life energy.

"It's already been forged a thousand times?" Gu You was confused. He was just smashing it randomly when forging it, but he changed his position every time he heard a different sound. At the same time, the two life hammers continued to emit weak life energy. Feng Wuyu shook his head, "It was just a coincidence. The life energy in the life hammer was absorbed by the ore and sublimated. Combined with your understanding of metal forging and purification, it took shape."

So that's how it is. Gu You seemed to understand, and at the same time he felt that forging was really that simple.

"Looks like we have to start earlier. I'll just teach you the Thousand Forgings directly." Facing the monster Gu You, Feng Wu Yu really felt that there was nothing more to teach below the Thousand Forgings. It would be better to take advantage of today's situation and just teach you the Thousand Forgings directly.

"Are there any techniques for the Thousand Forgings?" Gu You asked.

Feng Wu Yu shook his head, "No."

"What? You don't even have a teacher, how can I learn?" Gu You said speechlessly.

"I'm not your teacher yet." Feng Wu Yu grinned.

Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?
Gu You had already guessed what Feng Wu Yu was thinking at this moment.

"Master, from now on you will be my second professional master, how about that? Is that okay?" Gu You said angrily.

"That's right, my good disciple. Thousand forgings are not without skills, but they are more of a verbal warning. What I can tell you now is that you should do more, listen more, and feel more. Doing is to hammer continuously, listening is to listen quietly to the sound of each hammering and feel the difference in impurities in various places, and feeling is not to treat metal as a lifeless thing. When forging, you should treat metal as a living thing and try your best to communicate with it during the forging. Only with perfect communication can it recognize you, find its mystery, and find its texture. This is why Thousand forgings are called mind forging. Every blacksmith will use different methods when forging Thousand forgings. You must use your heart to forge and to feel." Feng Wu Yu said a lot in one breath, which made Gu You stunned.

"Do you understand?" Feng Wu Yu asked.

"I feel a little better. I'll try it." Gu You supported his cheek.

He originally thought that Feng Wu Yu would give a demonstration, but unexpectedly, he didn't even have this idea. He really thought of himself as a peerless genius who knew everything when he heard it.

Approaching the forging table, Gu You looked at the contents of the book beside the forging table, put a piece of ice crystal ore into the forging furnace and began to heat it.

This piece of ice crystal ore was about one foot in size and was flashing with a cold light. After it was placed in the forging furnace, Gu You looked up the properties of the ice crystal ore in the book.

Ice crystal ore comes from the far north. It is a very rare ore. If it is placed outside, countless people will scramble for it. However, it can be found everywhere in Feng Wu Yu's forging room. The ice crystal ore itself is very fragile and has strong softness under high-temperature combustion. It is a good soul guide extension. Good quality ice crystal ore can even produce a 5% to 10% increase in the transmission of soul power.

But ice crystal ore also has its disadvantages. It is extremely difficult to produce finished products. Under normal circumstances, it is too fragile to be forged, and it is difficult to shape after high-temperature forging.

Ice crystal mines are not only rare in inland cities, but are also rare and precious even in some cities along the northern border.
