The day arrived, Tang jay went to the Poseidon Pavilion for learning Blacksmithing From Tang wulin.
Tang wulin was already waiting there for Tang jay there. They both started to head towards the Blacksmithing association.
After entering the Blacksmithing Association, the People over there started to look at Tang Wulin and Tang jay.
Some of them were whispering,"What is a Godking doing in the earth, and who I that handsome guy over there?",
The blacksmithing association's chief and head ran towards Tang wulin and Tang jay for greeting them.
They were all sweat bathed by running towards Tang wulin.
They all asked only one question," god master Tang! Who is this guy you are with?"
Tang wuling quickly replied, "He is my disciple"
Everyone's face became astonished to hear Tang jay was Tang wulin's disciple.
Then Tang wulin asked for a room for their lesson and they both started to head there.
After getting a room, Tang wulin asked Tang jay to first observe What Blacksmithing is, and Tang wulin Started Forging.
He started to hammer the Metal,
The iron ingot on the forging counter was dark, but it had a special texture, with faint dark red light flowing inside it. There seemed to be a faint golden dragon pattern looming.
The shrunken iron ingot was only the size of a fist, but could it still be considered the same as the original piece of iron? It was totally different now !
Tang jay watched this scene blankly, it was really too incredible. This was a miracle created by Tang Wulin!
Tang wulin also looked at this piece of metal silently. He distinctly felt that this was not yet the best he could achieve. After all, this was after all only a piece of ordinary iron, but even under such circumstances, it seemed that in his hands, the chunk of metal had entered into a peculiar state.
To him, the forging hammer was nothing more than a medium. His forging was the result of the fusion of his own strength, Divine Sense, and will. It looked like it lasted only for a moment, but at that instant, the iron ingot had gained sentience and was bestowed with life in the truest sense.
The golden light retracted from Tang jay's body. He looked at the iron ingot, and then at Tang Wulin, "Uncle Wulin, you are amazing!"
Although he still didn't understand the meaning of what Tang wulin had just forged, it sure didn't look like an ordinary purified chunk of metal!
Tang Wulin smiled slightly, "I think I have remembered some stuff. Since coming to Earth once again and Teaching you,It was like this when Xuanyu Learning Forging from me.So, you should also become a great Blacksmith, okay."
"Uncle Wulin, Can I try forging now?." Tang Jay looked eager to try.
Tang wulin smiled and nodded, and said: "Alright !
Tang wulin said: "Then let's start now. The process of my forging just now is something you still can't learn. Let's start from the basics. In order to forge well, at least you must first be familiar with your forging hammer, and at the same time you must hone your basics well. Hammer technique is also very important. Uncle will teach you a technique first. This is good for bringing out your strength."
While talking, Tang wulin casually waved his hand and pulled over another iron ingot, and it fell on the forging counter in front of Tang Jay.
"You don't need to calcine it, just use it as a target for first practicing your hammer technique. When using a forging hammer, the first thing to pay attention to is how to use your force. Everyone has a limit, but it refers to the whole body. When forging, you're also practicing at the same time your control of strength. If you want to exert your full strength, then you need to mobilize not only your arm's strength, you should start from the soles of the feet, calves, and then to your waist, back, shoulders, arms, and finally your wrist and forging hammer. This process of exerting force is very important. Uncle will let you experience it, observe carefully."
While talking, Tang Wulin held a forging hammer, half-turned his body, and lifted it with one hammer.
In an instant, a soft will flooded into Tang Jay's mind, and he clearly felt the process of Tang wulin's physical strength coming from his calf.
Directly feeling and observing like this felt so clear, he could remember the whole process of Tang wulin exerting his strength without having to watch it a second time.
"Try it." Tang wulin handed the forging hammer to Tang Jay.
Tang Jay imitated his posture, half-turned, using his left leg as a support, he stomped the ground with his right leg, and swung out the forging hammer.
A faint warmth began to spread from his calf upwards. When the trajectory of his power circulation deviated, this warmth would naturally help him to pull the power back, perfectly executing the strike.
A "dang" sound roared. The forging hammer fell on the iron ingot with a loud noise and then bounced back high.
Tang Jay's body was already quite strong compared to his peers, but even so, the recoil force still made his hand feel slightly numb.
Just now, the impact felt so great! Was this the benefit of mobilizing the strength of his whole body?
Moreover, wherever the warmth had flowed, his memory felt very clear. Undoubtedly, this was the path through which Uncle Wulin guided the circulation of his strength. This kind of guidance was simply too amazing, he didn't need to do anything by himself and could directly find the most correct way of exerting strength.
"Again." Tang Wulin nodded to him.
"Okay." Tang Jay took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind, and swung the hammer again.
In the next period of time, he just simply practiced hammer swinging. Whenever his use of power deviated, Tang Wulin's assistance would appear, which always helped him to adjust and let him feel how to correctly use strength.
As a result, Tang jay made rapid progress and became more and more familiar with the feeling of the forging hammer. He could even feel that this kind of learning how to use his strength was not only beneficial for forging, but also for his usage of soul power.
Tang Wulin was by his side, guiding him very patiently, and telling him that the basics was the most important thing. Whether it was soul power cultivation or forging, a good foundation was the most important for growing in the future. It was impossible to reach a higher level without a solid foundation.
A whole afternoon went by swinging his hammer, but Tang jay didn't feel tired at all. Despite the numbness and pain coming from his hand, in just a single afternoon, he clearly felt that he was using his strength much more efficiently than before. Towards the end, Tang Wulin's assistance was no longer needed, and he could swing on his own his most powerful strike.
Tang Wulin began to raise his requirements, asking him to accurately control how much strength he used. For example, only half, one-third, one-quarter, and so on. This was an application of strength control.
"Uncle Wulin, why do you want to practice this! Isn't it best to use all of my strength?" Tang jay asked in confusion.
Tang Wulin shook his head and said, "In many cases, the best results are not achieved with full force. Sometimes, if the exerted strength is controlled, the effect will be even greater. For example, when pulling out an immortal herb, if you use too much force then it is very likely to destroy the immortal herb. In that case, proper use of strength is very important. Once you control your strength well, you can swing your hammer according to your perception of metal during the forging process, instead of blindly hammering it. Every metal has its characteristics. I just read your book. There are a lot of records about the characteristics of basic metals. Actually, you don't need to remember these. What is needed is not recitation, but using your own body and mind to sense the metal."
"Are those data wrong?" Tang Jay asked curiously.
Tang wulin sternly said: "You have to remember that in this world, there are no two things exactly identical. The so-called data are the greatest common divisors to a certain extent, not exactly accurate. It's okay to follow those judgments but you will never be able to do it meticulously. For the same kind of metal, each piece is different. Because they were born under different conditions, their experience is also different. Some metals have experienced high temperatures, and some have been frozen, some bumped, and some worn out. Although their internal composition is similar, how can they be exactly the same?"
