The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1457

Chapter 1457: 1457

He suddenly came to the realization that it was very difficult to complete the Heavenly Refinement for Heavy Silver . The quality of its material had been compromised during the lightning calamity . Despite completing the soul forging, there was no improvement . No wonder his uncle master used spirit alloys made from two types of metals for the four-element Heavenly Refinement . He had considered the metal’s durability based on his experience!

Zhen Hua had explained many things to Tang Wulin but there were some areas that he could not quite understand . Explanations could never rival the hands-on experience of the process .

Tang Wulin had already figured out many of the principles behind the Heavenly Refinement process .

Had it not been for the Thunderclap Nether Vine’s presence, Tang Wulin could not protect the three metal pieces . The lightning’s destructive force was terrifying beyond comparison . Tang Wulin’s body could not sustain the elemental calamity .

Fortunately, the creature most skilled in fusing lightning on the continent was the Thunderclap Nether Vine . Each lightning strike would taint it with a layer of seven-colored radiance, but it continued to devour the seven-colored lightning blithely . It was unwilling to share even a small amount of lightning with the three soul-forged metal pieces .

Tang Wulin was feeling numb all over . The numbness radiated from the Thunderclap Nether Vine since he was one with his spirit soul . However, he found that his blood essence was growing more exuberant from the numb sensation .

A strange feeling emerged in Tang Wulin’s chest . It seemed like he had just discovered a brand new Body Forging technique without any intention of doing so!

Although the Body Forging technique was not suitable for everyone, the technique benefited him . It was an unexpected joyful surprise .

When the seven-colored lightning struck, the entire Heavenly Ascension Platform turned into seven colors . The terrifying elemental aura was trying to obliterate the Heavenly Ascension Platform . The light shield turned into seven colors completely . Even the Heavenly Ascension Platform’s initial protective equipment was incapable of completely isolating the radiance this time .

Whoever was near the Blacksmith’s Association could see a stretch of seven-colored radiance illuminating the sky above the top floor of the building . The radiance diffused into the surroundings and did not disperse for a very long time .

“What’s that? Isn’t that a Divine Craftsman engaging in the Heavenly Refinement? Is it another powerful Heavenly-refined grade metal coming into existence?” Two middle-aged men stood on the rooftop of a similar building in the core district of Ming Du City . They gazed into the distance in the direction of the seven-colored radiance . The one with a tall, bulky figure gasped in admiration .

The other commented, “I wonder when it’ll be our turn to request for a Divine Craftsman’s help in forging a divine-ranked metal . It’ll be awesome even if we can just forge one sheet!”

“Don’t be making up stories . Aside from the high cost of a divine-ranked metal which is astronomical, I doubt the Divine Craftsman will have the time to forge for us . The Divine Craftsman Master Zhen Hua rarely forges these days . The older the Divine Craftsman, the more harmful it is to perform the Heavenly Refinement . There’s not another Divine Craftsman on the entire planet, so it’s better that he doesn’t forge that much . Otherwise, the legacy of the Divine Craftsman may end when the last Divine Craftsman on the continent is gone . It’s going to take many years before the next Divine Craftsman comes into existence . ”

“That’s right! It has been over thirty years since His Excellency Zhen Hua became a Divine Craftsman . At present, there’s no other Divine Craftsman . Is it so difficult to cultivate to be a Divine Craftsman?”

“You’re a rank-9 mecha maker yourself . Don’t you understand the difficulty of being on the pinnacle? The difficulty of the Heavenly Refinement is ten times more difficult than the mecha master and the mecha designer . It’s not something that is achievable just by cultivating . One needs to possess an exceedingly high natural endowment with sufficient purity of the heart . Nevertheless, I heard that the Blacksmith’s Association produced a young genius a few years ago . He was already a Saint Craftsman at a very young age . Perhaps, he has the potential to be a Divine Craftsman in the future . ”

“I sure hope they can produce another Divine Craftsman soon . Otherwise, I’m afraid that you and I will never get to own a set of four-word battle armor since His Excellency Zhen Hua is quite old . A set of four-word battle armor is also known as a person’s second life!”

“I’m relieved as I’m quite hopeless here . It’s difficult to tell if we can achieve breakthrough to be Hyper Douluos . So, don’t raise your hopes too high . It’s utterly impossible to acquire a four-word battle armor without a Hyper Douluo-ranked cultivation base . ”

…

The seven-colored radiance alternated its flickering colors . He only needed to touch it with his finger . The three seven-colored metal pieces turned into a liquid and spiral up into Tang Wulin’s palm .

They seemed weightless and left behind a peculiar texture .

It had been completed . He had truly completed it .

Both Zhen Hua and Tang Wulin had not expected Tang Wulin’s Heavenly Refinement to be completed as such . Tang Wulin did not think he would be successful . Although he did not complete the final form hardening step, the three Heavy Silver pieces were genuine Divine-ranked metals . Moreover, they were Divine-ranked metals forged from the seven elements .

No matter how weak the Heavy Silver was, it was completely different upon passing the refinement successfully . The Heavy Silver was now a brand new metal .

Zhen Hua looked at Tang Wulin in shock . He spoke subconsciously, “It’s highly possible that this is the most powerful Heavy Silver in history . Name it . ”

All divine-ranked metals were given a name . The Divine Craftsman was given the honor to bestow a name upon the metal .

“We shall call it the ‘Seven-color Heavy Silver’ then!” said Tang Wulin smilingly .

Zhen Hua laughed and taunted, “You’re a lazy boy . Alright then . ‘Seven-color Heavy Silver’ it is . You missed out the final step which is the form hardening . However, it’s too late for that . It can only be done when the Heavenly Refinement has not taken form . Only then, the divine-ranked metal can be bestowed with real abilities . You must pay attention to that next time . Form hardening is very important as you’ll need to harden the metal’s form according to the abilities of the metal’s potential user and the user’s battle armor requirements . Form hardening doesn’t just harden the shape, but more importantly, its energy attribute . For example, you’re a strength-type soul master . Then, you should harden your divine-ranked metal toward that attribute . Form hardening requires a lot of experience . Moreover, you must be well-prepared beforehand . Of course, your seven-colored Heavy Silver is not totally useless either . You may try it on a soul master who pursues multi-elemental control . ”

The upgrade of a three-word to a four-word battle armor did not require the blacksmith to forge using the three-word battle armor’s metal . Instead, the divine-ranked metal which matched the battle armor master’s needs was fused with the initial three-word battle armor . After the fusion, the core circuit was engraved once again to finally complete the four-word battle armor .

The four-word battle armor was rare precisely because its specifications in all the areas were truly demanding . An enormous amount of energy were needed to produce the divine-ranked metal and the core circuit .

A faint smile emerged on Tang Wulin’s face . As he looked at the liquefied metal flowing in his palm, he had a sense of complete satisfaction in his heart .

There were very few people who could achieve Tang Wulin’s record of success at the first attempt to achieve the Heavenly Refinement in the history of the blacksmiths’ world . Not that he was presumptuous, he discovered that the Heavenly Refinement process did not seem to be as difficult as he had imagined .

This was the benefit of being blessed by the plane!

All of a sudden, an idea arose in Tang Wulin’s mind . He raised his head to look toward Zhen Hua . “Uncle master, does that mean that I can be considered a Saint Craftsman?”

Zhen Hua was stunned by Tang Wulin’s question . The requirements to be a Saint Craftsman was very tough . One could only become a Saint Craftsman after successfully completing the Heavenly Refinement in forging a piece of divine-ranked metal!

Tang Wulin had completed forging a piece of divine-ranked metal without employing any trick at all . That should qualify him as a Saint Craftsman!

He was a Saint Craftsman! He was the youngest Saint Craftsman in history!

Zhen Hua burst into laughter all of a sudden . He was in cloud nine .

He had lost count of the years it had been since he felt as joyous as today . He had a successor now! As a Divine Craftsman, he was already in a glory of his own . To be a Divine Craftsman who was capable of producing another was more glorious than ever!

Zhen Hua stopped laughing and calmed himself . He looked at Tang Wulin . “In theory, you’re already a Divine Craftsman . However, you’re not considered a true Divine Craftsman yet, because you have not completed the form hardening process . Unless you can complete the form hardening by yourself to produce ten pieces of divine-ranked metal or complete forging a full set of four-word battle armor’s metal, you’re yet to be a true Divine Craftsman in my heart . ”

Tang Wulin was bewildered as he gazed at his uncle master who had a cunning expression on his face . “You’re kidding, right?”

Zhen Hua regained his composure and spoke in a deep voice, “What do you mean by kidding? I’m strict in my requirements and have high standards . What do you think being a Divine Craftsman mean? Can one become a Divine Craftsman with just a single success? Work hard and equip yourself to be a four-word battle armor master before we discuss further . Even though you’re not a Hyper Douluo yet, you’re strong enough to clad yourself in a four-word battle armor due to your strong physique . ”

Tang Wulin was at a loss for words . It was not that easy to make a four-word battle armor . Even his uncle master had only made about ten sets in his lifetime!

Zhen Hua clasped his hands behind his back . “That’s all for today . I can tell that you’ve been affected by the Heavenly Refinement process today . We shall continue tomorrow . After today, with each subsequent attempt, review the process diligently so that you gain from the experience . Don’t you dare think about leaving before you’ve completed the ten Heavenly Refinements . ”

Upon saying that, Zhen Hua turned around and left .
