Chapter #07. Forging

Chapter #07.  Forging

A year passed, Zhao Yun spent a year in the forest in Tian Fan's small world, not a day went by without a battle.

In order to train his instincts and combat power, Baiyin never gave Zhao Yun a single day of peace who was in the forest. Now after a year has passed, it seems that Zhao Yun's body is really very strong, in terms of strength, speed, instinct, intelligence, everything has really been honed in battle against existing beasts.

Just with his physical strength alone, he was still able to fight evenly against the power of a late stage earth king realm beast.

"Sraaakkk….. Bughhhh"

One slash of his sword knocked a late earth king realm jaguar beast's head off its body.

Zhao Yun sat down with gasps for breath and wounds all over his body, his body was covered in hundreds of wounds, both old and new wounds adorning his entire body.

But the pain that plagued him never made the smile on his face disappear. He was happy because after a year he had surpassed himself in trying to be strong.

A bright light dazzled his eyes, now he saw in front of him a beautiful room filled with a fragrance that relaxed his body, in front of him Baiyin was soaking in a hot pool with that fragrance.

."Junior pays respects to ancestor Baiyin"

"I accept your respect, quickly take off your clothes and soak!" Baiyin said casually.

Zhao Yun immediately obeyed Baiyin's words and entered the 10 m x 10 m pool. Just as his feet entered the pool, he began to feel the sensation of an electric shock, without caring about the pain he received, Zhao Yun forced himself to soak.

He was shocked because the pain that invaded every cell of his body began to turn into a feeling of comfort. Apart from that, the wounds and scars in his body began to regenerate in the pool.

"Soak your whole body into the pool, after three incense sticks, you will come up and meet me in the middle of this palace!" Said Baiyin who stood up from his place and came out of the pool.

Without beating around the bush, Zhao Yun immediately submerged his entire body into the pool while practicing his breathing in the pool.

Three incense sticks passed, Zhao Yun stood up and walked out of the pool. He immediately got dressed in clothes that Baiyin had prepared.

He felt that his body was now smooth and there was not a single scar on his body.

"Amazing!" He muttered happily. He rushed to the central room of the palace to immediately meet Baiyin.

Baiyin was seen sitting relaxed on a throne, Zhao Yun immediately approached him.

"Master Tian Fan's medicine and medicinal pool are always effective!" Baiyin said while looking at Zhao Yun.

"Your training this time is forging, I have prepared the room, immediately apply the knowledge you have through practice," Baiyin said casually.

" This !." Baiyin said again while handing a notebook to Zhao Yun. The book flew out of Baiyin's hands and towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun received the book and started reading it, his eyes widened because inside it there were more than two thousand orders for weapons along with battle armor complete with their symbols.

"I don't know how to forge but I understand how to judge the quality of an item! So immediately make everything in the book complete without missing anything!" Baiyin said with a smile.

Again and again, without waiting for Zhao Yun's answer, Baiyin left him again, a palace door began to open and Zhao Yun saw that the contents of the room were tools for forging,

Without complaining, he immediately started his new job, immediately he began to apply the knowledge he had gained from Tian Fan and started putting it into practice.

Even though Zhao Yun has theoretical knowledge, in reality he is very clumsy in applying it, not to mention the weight of the hammer he uses for forging, which adds to his awkwardness.

Zhao Yun finally began to understand Baiyin's intention in asking him to make these two thousand weapons and battle robes.

After taking a deep breath, he began to forge. Although awkwardness and stiffness engulfed him, he started to accustom himself. Without hesitation, he lifted the hammer and struck the black iron in front of him, the forging theory he had learned was now being applied practically to the black iron in front of him.

" TAANG TAANG…..SSSSHHHHH "

The impact of a hammer and the sound of hot iron being plunged into water signaled the completion of forging a sword. Zhao Yun examined the sword he made, how sharp and precise it was and how heavy the sword was.

"Finally, the two thousandth sword," he said happily.

He glanced at a room filled with thousands of swords and iron armor with a dragon symbol on the chest. He smiled proudly, because in three years he was finally able to complete the two thousand swords and armor in the notebook.

Not long after, Baiyin approached him and saw the results of his work. Baiyin smiled when he saw Zhao Yun's work, which was truly perfect and in accordance with what was in the notes.

Especially when Baiyin saw five swords and five pieces of armor colored red, white, blue, gold and black. He was quite impressed with Zhao Yun's work. Moreover, the armor is made from lonsdaleite, the second strongest stone after tungsten.

(Not bad, even without qi, he can make this armor very well, master's judgment this time is really very correct!) Baiyin muttered happily.

With Zhao Yun successfully forging the material from the meteorite stone, he had now become a third rank smith.

Forging in the Xingguan world is divided into five levels, these levels are judged by the forging materials that are successfully forged.

And lonsdaleite is the material used by third level smiths.

To be categorized as level four and level five smiths, it is usually judged by the materials forged and also the ability to combine and forge beast cores into swords.

"Take your rest, seven days from now you will start to reshape your destroyed dantian. Master has prepared everything, so get ready!" Baiyin said firmly.

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up when he heard that his dantian would be regrown, he couldn't say anything after hearing Baiyin's explanation.

"I will have my dantian back??" he muttered happily.

Not wanting to waste time, he immediately took some time to rest and prepare, in his mind, he could sense the difficulties and pains of forming the dantian.

Now he truly understands why he was trained so harshly by Baiyin for the past three years. All of that was prepared for today, the day when he will awaken his dantians again, and not just one dantian, but three dantians that will be opened at once.

"I will not disappoint teacher and ancestor Baiyin," he said enthusiastically and with firmness.

Let's learn

Lonsdaleite is a material that forms when meteorites containing graphite fall to Earth. This material was discovered by an American geologist named Lonsdale. He discovered an octagonal material similar to diamonds. Limited research shows this material is 58 percent stronger than diamond. Just like diamonds, Lonsdaleite is composed of carbon atoms, but the arrangement and shape are different.

Hopefully it will increase the knowledge of all readers
