Chapter 78
“well!”
The worker who pulled the bellows nodded quickly.
During the process of adding pig iron, Wang Liangping asked excitedly, “Young Master Yu, what kind of hammering method did you use just now! It looks like a random hammer, but it’s actually coherent and smooth, and each hammer is quite effective!”
“Well… I don’t know, I just hammer it by feeling.” Huo Yu said calmly.
“what!”
Everyone is not so calm, everyone opened their mouths, I am peat, hammer by feeling? Isn’t this just a hammer?
Can the hammer be hammered to this extent? Even a senior blacksmith like me is not as effective as you!
“Young Master Yu, you, you, are you really forging for the first time? Haven’t you learned it before?” Wang Liangping asked with a questioning face.
Huo Yu responded decisively to him, which was indeed the first time.
Wang Liangping doesn’t believe it, who are you fooling? This TM can be the first time? But he didn’t say anything and remained silent.
Soon after the temperature of the pig iron was sufficient, Fire Feather continued to forge, heat, cool, beat, and continue to heat. He did accurately grasp every step and process, but it was obvious from the process that Fire Feather was very jerky. Someone with experience in forging.
Wang Liangping started to believe this time, Huo Yu is really a novice!
Forging a blade requires a lot of hard work and time to polish.
Over time, the pig iron was slowly forged into the shape of a sword.
“Genius! This kid is a genius!!!” Wang Liangping exclaimed inwardly. He believed that after the sword was fully formed, its toughness and quality would be comparable to that of an intermediate blacksmith, and a carefully forged blade would be almost the same. , even more than that.
While fast prototyping is the most test of technology, Huo Yu’s performance is still surprising.
Soon the sword embryo took shape, he stopped forging, and carved a word “feather” on the hilt, representing that the sword was made by him.
Finally, the sword was cooled and polished a little, and a piece of pig iron was forged into a finished long sword by the fire feather.
“Wow! Young Master Yu! You are amazing!”
“Sharp, sturdy, tough, and extremely delicate in appearance, the quality is comparable to that of an intermediate blacksmith!”
The junior and intermediate blacksmiths who were watching couldn’t wait to take out Huo Yu’s forged long sword to observe carefully, and they were all very excited.
“Uncle Wang, what do you think of this long sword I forged?” Huo Yu asked Wang Liangping, the most powerful blacksmith present.
Wang Liangping took the long sword, calmed down and praised: “They are right, the long sword you forged is indeed at the level of an intermediate blacksmith, and you only need to be familiar with forging for a while. , you may be able to reach the level of a senior blacksmith.”
“Then it seems that this talent is not bad.” Huo Yu nodded and thought silently, it was the first time to be able to achieve this level, and overall he was quite satisfied.
“Young Feather.”
“Um?”
Wang Liangping’s face gradually became serious: “Too many blacksmiths may only be able to reach the level of intermediate blacksmiths in their lifetimes, and your first forging technology can actually reach this level, which shows that your The talent is very powerful, you are like you were born to do this business, if you keep sticking to it, you can become a generation of master craftsmen!”
“Uh, Uncle Wang, you are too rewarding.” Huo Yu said modestly.
“No, I’m telling the truth and I didn’t deliberately flatter you.” Wang Liangping shook his head and said, “In the future, you can come to me to practice forging at any time.”
“Thank you Uncle Wang, then let you sell the weapons I will forge in the future. The proceeds will be yours and will be regarded as my tuition.” Huo Yu said gratefully.

Chapter seventy-two three years and seven months later.
It is relatively simple to create a weapon such as a sword and knife. It is rare to forge armor and armor. He needs a guide to give guidance and guidance.
It is enough for Wang Liangping to start with him as a senior blacksmith.
“Haha, Young Master Yu, although your current level is good, you can’t sell it in the city without a blacksmith license.” Wang Liangping said.
“Ah, isn’t all the equipment I created wasted?” Huo Yu was a little depressed.
“No way, weapons and armor are related to human life. Those warrior soul masters who fight outside with weapons forged by blacksmiths must have a measure and judgment on their own weapons. The only way most people can judge is by forging weapons. Blacksmith level, even if the weapon you forged is of good quality, but there is no corresponding blacksmith level, most people dare not buy it, because they can’t trust the weapons in their hands.”
“In the past, as long as there was a senior blacksmith as a guarantee, it could be sold with integrity, but there would still be a lot of problems. Obviously there is no corresponding quality, but the guarantor said there was. As a result, many people who bought weapons because of their trust in the weapons ended up in battle. killed.”
“Therefore, the empire now has stricter regulations on this aspect, and there must be a corresponding blacksmith status. If it is in some surrounding villages, small towns, or small cities, it is fine. We are not allowed to trade through the right way in Blazing City. But if you really want to sell, you can only sell it on the black market, but the price will be very low.” Wang Liangping explained enthusiastically.
“Then put it on the black market and sell it at a lower price.”
“This is too wasteful for Young Master Yu. You might as well keep it for now. When you have time to go to the Gengxin City Blacksmiths Association for an assessment, after you become a real blacksmith, it will not be too late to trade in a justifiable manner.”
“That’s fine, I’ll go to the blacksmith capital of Gengxin City when I have time.” Huo Yu nodded and said gratefully, “Uncle Wang, then I’ll go first and have classes in the afternoon, and I’ll come back tomorrow. “
“okay.”
Huo Yu left the blacksmith shop with the long sword he forged. This is the first weapon he forged in his life. It is of great significance. Although it is very ordinary, he will keep him as a collection and will always be by his side.
For the next few days, Huo Yu would take time to study at the blacksmith shop every day.
Huo Yu showed amazing talent and made great strides in forging every day, but within a month his skills had surpassed Wang Liangping, a senior blacksmith.
At first, Wang Liangping, who acted as a master and referred to Huo Yu, is now instructed by Huo Yu. He learns and absorbs the experience gained from Huo Yu, so Wang Liangping’s skills are also growing rapidly.
Wang Liangping was pleasantly surprised to find that he could become an advanced blacksmith!
………………
Time flies so fast, and before you know it, three years and seven months later.
The twelve-year-old Huo Yu has grown to 1.7 meters in height. His appearance has changed a lot. The little face that looked young and cute has become a lot more mature now, like a real man.
His facial features became more refined and handsome, handsome, and when he walked on the street, not only girls could not help but look at him more.
Because Huo Yu is still a blacksmith and has been forging blade armor for a long time, his body and muscles are relatively developed and strong. He is not like the big muscular man with explosive muscles, but he also has eight-pack abdominal muscles, and the muscles in his limbs are balanced and strong. , The muscle lines are perfect, the figure is not thin, nor is it very strong, it is simply the figure that girls most desire.
In the past three years, he has been to the Steel City, successfully passed the assessment of the Blacksmith Association, and became a senior blacksmith, but that was a long time ago, and now the level of Huo Yu has been It has reached the level of a blacksmith, and is even very close to a blacksmith.
On the mainland, the highest achievement that most blacksmiths can achieve in their lifetimes are only high-level blacksmiths. Those who can reach blacksmiths are quite rare. There is a huge gap between these two levels.
In a relatively large city like Blazing Fire City, there are only two or three blacksmiths. If you compare the level of soul masters, they are probably equivalent to soul saints.
Therefore, Huo Yu became famous and became very famous in the blacksmith circle. For more than three years, he made weapons, armors, accessories, tools, etc., of all kinds.
Many people will rush to buy it, because Huo Yu has the level of a blacksmith, but only a senior blacksmith will be much cheaper in price.
Many soul master warriors now have the word “feather” engraved on their armor and weapons.
