Chapter Forty-One: Forging Grade Test
qi roared, his meteor hammer swung hard, the huge hammerhead like a cannonball, under the pull of the chain, flew straight towards Tang Wulin.Tang Wulin lifted his right foot and kicked Long Chen to t...There will be an update at 12 o'clock tonight. Hehehe. At least three updates tomorrow.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With narrowed eyes, Cen Yue picked up Tang Wulin's form. "Come with me." He wanted to see just how capable the disciple Mang had taken in was.
So-called testing room, is actually a forge. The blacksmith tests, of course, to go to school here
The moment he stepped into the forge, Tang Wulin's initial nervousness instantly dissipated. The forging equipment here was much like that of Meng's workshop. Since arriving in Donghai City, this was the first time he had encountered a familiar environment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The evaluator was a middle-aged woman. She clearly knew Cen Yue, "Master Cen, you personally brought someone to test I just heard that this child is only nine years old. If he's even a little bit older, wouldn't he be challenging the president's record"
Cen Yue said, "Let's test it first."
The examiner nodded and said to Tang Wulin, "There are fifteen types of metals here. You choose one to forge and refine. I will score you based on the metal you choose and the degree of refinement. If your score exceeds sixty, you can be promoted to a first-level blacksmith."
"Yes." Tang Wulin nodded and walked toward the metal rack beside him.
Fifteen kinds of metal, each one a cubic foot.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
These metals come in a variety of colors and textures. The blacksmithing level test looks simple, requiring only one forging refinement, but it actually tests a lot.
The assessor did not tell him what these metals were, which required him to have a sufficient understanding of various metals, and at the same time, choose metals within his capabilities to forge.
Metallic quality and refining effect are complementary to each other.
Tang Wulin swept his gaze around, instantly recognizing all types of metal. After a brief moment of thought, he slapped the shelf in the center and pulled out a piece of metal.
This piece of metal shimmered with a faint silvery glow. Seeing his choice, both Cen Yue and the assessor revealed a hint of surprise. They hadn't expected Tang Wulin to choose this kind of metal, which was extremely heavy and dense.
"I choose this piece of silver." Tang Wulin placed the silver on the forging platform, not making a single sound.
He had high demands of him, one of which was that besides forging, no metallic clashing sounds were allowed.
A piece of silver, one foot square, weighed a hefty 300 kilograms in reality. It was incredibly heavy, but from the way Tang Wulin carried it, Cen Yue could tell he wasn't struggling at all.
"Well, I'll be! That was some strength!" The assessor also looked surprised. Now she was starting to believe that the kid in front of her, who had only listed himself as nine years old on the data sheet, could actually complete this test.
Tang Wulin said: "Two Masters, can I begin"
The assessor nodded. "Begin. You have one hour. Within that hour, refine this piece of lead silver as much as possible. The degree to which you succeed will determine your score."
"Yes!" Tang Wulin didn't think much of it, and immediately started operating skillfully.
Open the forge, heat it up, and put the silver ingots in for smelting. The smelting time is also included in the refining time. There are no shortcuts in the blacksmith's level test, the association has very strict requirements for every blacksmith because once they reach a certain level, they can take on missions to forge. The products forged directly affect the reputation of the Blacksmith Association.
Tang Wulin did a little stretching, while also taking several deep breaths to adjust his soul power.
The reason he chose silver wasn't to show off, but because when he was in Ao Lai City, the last piece he forged was the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer. After that experience, he had a deep understanding of silver's properties. The piece of silver he chose this time was very similar in quality to the one he used last time. He couldn't resist its charm and naturally made his choice.
However, he still remembered what Mang had said. Besides forging on his own, he was not allowed to use the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer, and he was not allowed to show the Thousand Forged Silver Hammer to anyone before he turned fifteen.
Looking at the metal temperature displayed on the forging platform, Tang Wulin's breathing gradually adjusted evenly, and his eyes began to focus.
Cen Yue stood aside, without offering any pointers. He had been watching the child before him, paying particular attention to his eyes.
When he saw Tang Wulin's eyes begin to focus, he couldn't help but secretly admire him, "Man, man, you've struck gold."
Amongst blacksmiths, Cen Yue is the one who most advocates for focusing on forging. He doesn't have any outstanding talents; he simply entered this industry because of his love for it. Up until now, he has taken it step by step, solid and steady. Relying on his love and focus for forging, he has established a position for himself in the world of blacksmithing.
Tang Wulin was only nine years old! For a nine-year-old to be able to focus like that meant he truly understood forging. Cen Yue's impression of the child immediately improved.
Tang Wulin swiftly pressed the button with his left hand, just as the silver reached the forging temperature. It slowly rose from the forge platform.
The assessor quickly scribbled something down in their notes.
As a master assessor for the blacksmithing level test, she had gone through countless assessments. From this detail of Tang Wulin's, she could tell that this child was not forging silver for the first time. Just...was silver something an unregistered blacksmith could forge
Tang Wulin begins!
Both arms simultaneously vibrated slightly at the sides of his body, and two streaks of black light appeared in his palms. They were the pair of thousand-forged tungsten steel hammers. The left hammer lightly tapped the silver surface twice, producing a "ding ding" sound.
Cen Yue's gaze quickly landed on Tang Wulin's ears, clearly seeing that both of them trembled slightly.
He was listening, listening to the feedback of the metal. Good boy!
At this very moment, Tang Wulin's first hammer blow was already unleashed. His right hand swung the hammer like lightning, causing the air in the entire forge to become thick and tense. With a low whistle, in the next instant, the tungsten steel hammer smashed heavily onto the edge of the silver ingot.
"Bang!" The tungsten steel hammer bounced back with a sound, and the silver sank slightly.
This is the translated text. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tang Wulin's beautiful eyes almost lit up at the same time, his left hammer swung out, "Bang!" Another roar.
Two blasts echoed through the forge, startling Cen Yue. His eyes widened considerably. This was... a thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer neatly combed. He smiled slightly and waved to the audience below. 。He has always been a very outgoing person. If it weren't for the academy's rule against relationships between inner and outer court...
