Chapter 176 Souga It needs life.

The rewards for the team competition haven't been distributed yet. Now seeing that the rewards for the blacksmith competition are so lousy, Gu You has no interest in the so-called rewards anymore.

The three pieces of titanium crystal, if forged with Gu You's current skills, would only be worth about 90 million federal coins at most.

A piece of titanium crystal was soon placed on Gu You's forging table.

Titanium crystal looks like a crystal stone with many fine and messy gold lines inside. Another difficulty in purifying it is to use forging methods to comb out the gold lines inside while reducing the volume as much as possible. The better the overall gold lines are, the higher the quality of the titanium crystal.

It is said that an ancestor of the Tang Clan once used the gold wire inside the titanium crystal to make a hidden weapon, which was very powerful.

"The game begins, the smelting time begins." The referee said in a serious tone.

Both contestants pressed the buttons on the forging table very calmly, and the titanium crystal was slowly dragged into the furnace, waiting for it to undergo uninterrupted tempering.

When both sides finished smelting, the referee said again, "The smelting time is over, the countdown for the game is on."

Gu You and his opponent both fell silent. They both closed their eyes at the same time and adjusted their states.

The opponent was the first to open his eyes. His forging technique was very violent, and the titanium crystal was constantly deformed by the powerful force.

Gu You remained silent with his eyes closed, leaving the students in the audience confused.

"Hurry up and build it, why don't you build it?"

“So slow and boring.”

At this moment, Gu You suddenly stretched out his arms, and two forging hammers appeared in his hands at the same time.

"Fuck, I'm alive."

From time to time, some funny words were heard from the audience.

Gu You lightly pressed the button on the forging table with the Life Hammer in his right hand, which also meant that the calcination of his titanium crystal was completed.

The center of the forging table in front of him cracked, and the titanium crystal that had been burned into orange-red slowly rose up.

Gu You first tapped the titanium crystal three times to feel what the ore needed.

Souga~It needs life.

Directly, the seemingly heavy life essence hammer fell on the titanium crystal, and a continuous crisp sound was heard.

There is a thin soundproof passport around it, which is specially designed to prevent the blacksmith from being distracted by the noise of the audience outside.

No one could hear it from inside, but the sound from the stage could be heard from outside. The forging hammer fell on the titanium crystal, making a crisp sound of "ding ding ding".

The sound is like a needle dropping on metal. It is crisp and pleasant, not noisy or heavy. It is a bit like percussion. It is a very light forging.

It looks heavy, but it is actually very gentle. This is what the audience outside can feel.

The two hammers fell lightly one after another, just like using a thin needle to gently pierce the forging hammer. Every time the hammer fell, it gave people an indescribable sense of lightness.

A storm is coming.

Gu You swung his two hammers up and spread them out generously. The pair of life hammers launched a forging attack on the titanium crystal like a storm.

The ding ding ding sound continued.

This feeling was simply too wonderful, giving people an indescribable sense of beauty. It was like a percussion instrument constantly resounding. And the titanium crystal kept rotating on the forging table during his hammering, constantly adjusting the angle. But because Gu You's forging looked so light, there was no sign of its size shrinking.

Is this also forging?

Many forging trainees were confused. It was undeniable that Gu You's control of power was so perfect that they were shocked. But what was the point of such continuous forging? Was it just to show off skills? But the final result depended on the degree of purification! Everyone's time started from the moment they started forging, and there were only two quarters of an hour in total. With such a light forging, it was impossible to complete even a hundred forgings in two quarters of an hour.

When Gu You's forging was in full swing, the opponent on the opposite side looked up at him in surprise. When he saw Gu You's eyes focused on the dense hammering sound, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. But he quickly lowered his head again and looked at his forging table.

When two blacksmiths forge together, the most taboo thing is to be disrupted by the other party. Although he is not very old, he started learning forging at a very young age and his attainments are quite good. So he quickly put aside all distractions, stopped listening to Gu You's forging, and focused on himself.

Among all the blacksmiths present, only Feng Wu Yu on the stage looked at Gu You's forging and nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, looking very proud.

"What's the story behind his forging?" Although Red Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi was a powerful man, he knew nothing about forging and couldn't help but ask Feng Wuyu beside him.

Perhaps because Feng Wu Yu was too proud of himself, he did not confront him this time, but explained, "Look carefully. His forging looks very light, but each time he forged, he accurately transmitted the power into the titanium crystal. Although the volume of the titanium crystal did not shrink, the titanium wire inside was constantly adjusted during his forging. Just like peeling silk from a cocoon, he first adjusted the messy titanium wires, straightened out these gold wires, and looked for the veins and life breath of the titanium crystal itself. Then he stimulated it little by little, and then amplified it with his own life essence. This kind of forging is called from the inside out, and it is most suitable for high-end rare metals like titanium crystal."

"Of course, you, an outsider, won't understand this technique. Simply put, only forgers above the Grand Master level can perform this technique, and not everyone can do it. Wait and see. The level of my teaching, humph!"

Seeing Feng Wuyu's smug look, Zhuo Shi curled his lips, but surprisingly did not refute. Seeing Gu You becoming more and more outstanding, he was surprisingly happy.

Thinking back to the time when Gu You met him when he was six years old, it has been seven or eight years now. Watching the growth of this young genius, I always have an inexplicable sense of pride in my heart.

Zheng Yiran nudged Yang Nianxia who was watching beside him and asked in a low voice, "If it were you, how would you forge titanium crystal?"

Yang Nianxia gave her a strange look, "It should be similar to He Xiaopeng. He Xiaopeng's forging method uses vibration. He uses heavy and powerful double hammers to comb the gold wires inside the titanium crystal through vibration, thereby achieving the purpose of purification. But this forging method is difficult, because although the titanium crystal is very hard, it is also very brittle. It must be burned to a high temperature, and the force of the hammer must be controlled just right. If it is too heavy, it will break, and if it is too light, it will not have any effect. But looking at the strength and stability of his hammer drop, it is obvious that he has been immersed in it for many years. I don’t know how much higher his level is than mine."

Zheng Yiran looked at the young man across from the stage, his eyes filled with disgust.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Gu You had already spent a quarter of an hour forging, and was moving towards two quarters...
