Chapter 248

almost! "

Ten minutes later, Wang Teng precisely aimed at the timing and took the black sand iron out of the forging furnace.

The hammer was swung up, and the hammering sound of clang clang clang resounded.

At this time, other students had already started their own forging, and the entire forging room was filled with the noise of metal clashing.

The sound of Wang Teng's hammering merged into many voices, and nothing could be heard at all.

But Xiong Ba raised his eyebrows.

"This voice."

He moved his ears and immediately found the source.

Don't think that the forging room faces these noises every day, and its hearing is worse than ordinary people.

As warriors, they naturally have ways to protect their hearing.

Even for blacksmiths, hearing is important, because they need to hear the sound of metal.

A powerful blacksmith can use the sound to judge how many impurities are left in the metal, where there are impurities, etc., so as to refine the most perfect material.

Xiong Ba's gaze locked onto Wang Teng instantly, and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"It turned out to be him."

He didn't approach, just observed secretly from the podium.

The result is more and more shocking.

"Such an exquisite forging technique. Is this Wang Teng the inheritor of a forging family? No, how did I hear that he is just a child of an ordinary merchant family in the East China Sea? He has no special background. Could it be that he found it by himself? If That's it, this Wang Teng's talent is a bit unusual."

Various thoughts flashed through Xiong Ba's mind, and then he turned his eyes to other students. He couldn't just ignore other students for the sake of Wang Teng.

Among the other students in the forging class, there are still many good seedlings.

Clang, clang!

Bang Bang Bang!

This is Wang Teng's first time forging. At first, the speed was not fast, and it was mainly based on adaptation. Later, the speed gradually increased. The hammer in his hand kept swinging, leaving only afterimages. Can't see clearly.

The students around couldn't help looking towards Wang Teng.

The frequency of this sound is too fast, so prominent that it is impossible for people not to notice it.

"This!"

When they saw the situation on Wang Teng's side, the students expressed that they were shocked.

"Is this hand speed due to being single for a long time?"

Everyone opened their mouths wide, some couldn't close them, and there were all kinds of slander in their hearts.

Xiong Ba also opened his mouth, suddenly a little envious, this hand speed he only possessed when he was young.

"It's nice to be young!"

...

An hour and a half later, Wang Teng had completely completed the forging. Looking at the black and shiny black sand iron in front of him, he nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't say anything, just raised his hand.

Xiong Ba had seen him stop forging a long time ago, and walked over when he saw him raise his hand.

Regardless of the temperature above, pick it up and have a look.

The astonishment in his eyes grew stronger.

"This is... Hundred Refinements!"

Xiong Ba wondered if he had read it wrong, so he immediately turned it over and read it twice, and every corner was right.

Even using the force to penetrate into the metal, it was finally determined that it was indeed hundred forged black sand iron.

The so-called hundred forging is to forge the raw material hundreds of times. The more forging times, the less impurities inside the metal will be. On top of the hundred forging, there are thousands of forgings, ten thousand forgings, one hundred thousand forgings, and even one million forgings. .

There are blacksmiths who are willing to spend years or even decades to forge a weapon. Where do you think their time is spent?

Of course, if you want to complete such a high-level forging, the material must be good enough, otherwise you don't need ten thousand forging, thousand forging may be enough to destroy it.

Go too far!

Correspondingly, blacksmiths are willing to spend a lot of precious time forging only those excellent materials.

Black sand iron is just the most common metal material, and it is already the limit to be able to reach 100 forgings. Even the forger's technology is not enough, and the strength is not well controlled, resulting in too much pressure. If it can't be hammered a hundred times, it will become a piece of useless scrap iron.

"Very good. This piece of black sand iron has a very high degree of completion, and its tempering rate has reached 97%. It is already a rare piece of fine iron." Xiong Ba praised Wang Teng without hesitation, and looked at Wang Teng with admiration. This is an excellent blacksmith seedling.

For the same hundred forgings, there are differences in the degree of tempering, it all depends on the skill of the blacksmith.

In the forging world, no one has ever reached a 100% degree of tempering. It is an ideal value, and it is almost impossible to achieve it.

Even for the most common materials, it is impossible for a master-level blacksmith to forge them.

Therefore, Wang Teng's ability to reach 97%, in Xiong Ba's view, the highest cannot be higher, and the best cannot be outstanding.

The others were immersed in forging and did not hear Xiong Ba's words, otherwise they would really have no intention of forging at this time.

"Your blacksmithing skills are very good, have you ever been a teacher?" Xiong Ba asked out the doubts in his heart.

"No, I just learned it in your tutor's class." Wang Teng shook his head directly.

"It's just learned in my class, and I have mastered it to this level in such a short period of time."

Although he was mentally prepared, Xiong Ba couldn't help being shocked when he heard Wang Teng admit it himself.

"Okay, it's okay, you can finish class first." Xiong Ba waved his hand, and said again: "By the way, put this piece of black sand iron with me first, and I will return it to you in the next class."

"Okay." Wang Teng didn't know what Xiong Ba was going to do with this black sand iron, but he knew at least that Xiong Ba would not covet this mere piece of forged black sand iron.

After Wang Teng left, Xiong Ba didn't announce the end of get out of class until ten minutes before class ended.

Then he checked the results of the students one by one, and there were actually two people who had reached 100 training, but the training speed was not as good as Wang Teng, one was 67% and the other was 83%.

Sixty-seven percent is not bad for beginners.

As for the other 83%, it is a student from the forging family, the foundation itself is good, and being able to reach this level is considered excellent.

Xiong Ba announced the grades, worked harder, and then announced the dismissal of get out of class.

"Wait, tutor, what is Wang Teng's tempering degree?" The student from the forging family stood up and asked.

Xiong Ba really couldn't bear to hit this kid, but seeing his persistent eyes, he sighed in his heart and said, "One hundred forging, ninety-seven percent!"

The students in the class were shocked.

"It has actually reached a tempering rate of 97%!"

"How can it be so high!"

"At least you need a master-level blacksmith to reach this level."

...

"So there really are such geniuses in this world." The student from the forging family said bitterly.

"He is an exception. There are not many such geniuses in the world. You don't need to compare yourself to him. You are already very good." Xiong Ba comforted.

It's okay not to comfort, but once comforted, the student felt even more uncomfortable.

It's not even comparable, it's too shocking.

In an instant, the student's face was ashamed, and a sense of depression permeated his whole body.

"Here we go again." Xiong Ba felt helpless, this student was excellent in everything, but every time he was hit, he would turn into this walking corpse-like appearance, which was really dumbfounding, he coughed dryly: "Ahem, classmate Yang Gong , I suddenly felt that no matter how hard you work, you might soon be able to catch up with Wang Teng."

"Really? Mentor."

"Yes, I'm quite sure."

"I knew that I wouldn't lose to anyone, Mr. Xiong, I'm going back to train hard, goodbye."

"Goodbye, huh~" Xiong Ba heaved a sigh of relief.
