Chapter 245: I Beg for Fate Between Heaven and Earth, Forging the Sword Today, Come! (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sword forging was definitely not an easy task. From the moment the disciples of the Sword Pool Palace entered the sect, they had to hammer the iron embryo non-stop for at least three years every day.
However, that was only just stepping into the threshold of forging swords. The posture of swinging the hammer, the control of the temperature of the flames in the Sword Furnace, the precision of the lower hammer position… These needed to be cultivated by habit, experience, and more time!
Therefore, the old swordsmith originally planned to let An Le spend a month learning how to forge a sword and master some basic skills of sword forging. Then, when he participated in the refinement, he would let An Le carry out an important process to nurture his relationship with the sword.
In the end, An Le could complete the forging and tempering of his own sword.
However, at this moment, An Le held a thousand-kilogram hammer in his hand and casually smashed it on the iron embryo in the furnace. Sparks flew everywhere, but he displayed an extremely skilled bearing!
“Impossible!”
Wan Jieliu, who was at the side, held a thousand-pound hammer and revealed a shocked expression.
The waist strength technique when swinging the hammer and the arc of the thousand-pound hammer was exactly the same as the sword forging technique taught by the Sword Pool Palace. It was like a Sword Pool Palace disciple who had been nurtured by the Sword Pool Palace to forge swords all year round!
However… Wan Jieliu believed that in the past three days, he had never brought An Le to personally test forging a sword.
The furnace was connected to the Earth Immortal Fire below the Sword Pool Palace. The Earth Immortal Fire triggered would be quite dangerous to people who were not familiar with flames. Even a double fifth realm cultivator could not guarantee that they would be safe.
Moreover, these three days were for An Le to recuperate and stabilize his newly broken through double fifth realm cultivation. How could anyone teach An Le to forge a sword?
The old swordsmith, who had forgotten to drink his tea, slowly stood up. His pitch-black eyes reflected the essence spirit iron embryo that had changed shape under the hammer.
His eyes could not help but reveal a wisp of surprise and pleasant surprise.
Sword forging had nothing to do with cultivation because the heaviest hammer used was only 3,000 catties. Fifth-realm cultivators could naturally grab such a hammer after mobilizing the Qi Blood force in their bodies.
However, for the technique of exerting force with the hammer, it required countless attempts and exploration. Only after grasping the pattern could it
truly burst out.
This was also why the old swordsmith planned to let Wan Jieliu teach An Le. When An Le could deform the essence spirit iron embryo, he could begin the next step of guidance.
In his plan for An Le, he gave him three days to deform the refined iron embryo!
However, An Le’s first hammer… deformed the refined iron.
It gave him a surprise.
The aura that he released his mental power and mobilized was almost perfect. Although his control over the hammer was flawed, it was already not bad.
Most importantly, the emotions revealed by An Let s hammer…
That kind of confidence that he would definitely become a sword with a swing of his hammer…
It was like a violent wave crashing against the old swordsmith.
As the number one swordsmith in the world, he had nurtured too many disciples. However, he had never seen a newcomer who could burst out with such strong confidence the first time he held the hammer!
The old swordsmith raised his hand and stopped Wan Jieliu from speaking.
His meaning was obvious. He wanted An Le to continue hammering.
After the first hammer strike, An Le focused all his mental power on the hammer. He controlled his mental power and carried out the second hammer strike.
He had seen the emotions and joy of the Sword Pool Palace disciples when they succeeded in forging the sword, and he had copied a lot of the Sword Pool Palace disciples’ experience in forging swords.
However, this was still An Le’s first time hammering because he watched the process of successfully forging a sword.
Although it was only the first hammer strike, An Le fused his confidence into it.
After the first hammer strike, An Le also felt a special emotion spreading throughout his body. Every inch of his flesh and blood was cheering excitedly. His eyes were bright as he flicked the hammer that had deformed the iron embryo according to inertia. However, he followed the force and continued to swing it. As sparks flew, it was like a dream!
Continue!
The second hammer!
With this strike, An Le’s aura became even stronger. He might have restrained himself in the first strike, but his confidence in the second strike became stronger!
The pressure made the air cry!
Clang—
It was as if lightning had exploded under the hammer. Lightning arcs intertwined between the hammer and the iron embryo!
The flames in the furnace surged out like a circle of ripples. After hitting the furnace wall, they gathered in the center again, and the fire burned brightly!
The Sword Furnace between An Le’s brows floated in the air and hung above the sword furnace. Countless sword qi burst out from it, and as the hammer smashed down, sword qi spread and intertwined into it, increasing the connection with the iron embryo and grasping every change in it!
In his Inner Core, Mystic Intent was born.
The ferocious bear hugged the mountain and a huge force appeared!
The Divine Sword Body trembled slightly. Even every wisp of sword qi in his body was activated, undergoing a different change from the iron embryo in the furnace!
The Earth Immortal Fire surged out of the furnace. Azure and crimson intertwined, and the roar became even more ferocious. The flames evaporated the air, and the essence of the refined iron embryo that had been smashed by the hammer filled the air.
“Good!”
The old swordsmith’s eyes shone with unprecedented joy!
He put down the porcelain jar filled with tea and strode to the furnace. He began to help An Le forge the sword and flip the essence spirit iron embryo in the furnace.
An Le’s movements did not change at all, and he did not panic because of the interruption..
