Refinement!
“Damn it! I’ve been overthinking this!”
Mo Fan cursed himself inwardly.
What did the uncle say just now?
Thousand Refinement is also known as Spiritual Forging; it requires imprinting emotions and Soul Power into the metal, allowing it to breathe.
Space Magic can only alter the physical structure of matter; it cannot create emotions out of thin air!
His control over his Spiritual energy was too focused, causing the refined gold to be unable to absorb his emotional will at all.
A single thought connects heaven and earth.
The corners of Mo Fan’s mouth curled up slightly.
Deep within his Spiritual World, a faint, dormant glimmer of light suddenly ignited, instantly wrapping around the entire piece of refined gold along his arm.
“Since you want Spiritual emotions, then I will give you the most intense Spiritual emotions possible!”
“Psychic Awakening: Resurgence of All Things!”
A profound psychic star map bloomed in Mo Fan’s eyes!
Although refined gold is an inanimate object, it is nourished by the Soul Power of the World, and it inherently contains extremely weak, inert emotions within its metal molecules.
Under the urging of Mo Fan’s Psychic-element magic, that pervasive glimmer instantly transformed into psychic threads, unreasonably infiltrating the deepest recesses of the refined gold.
This was a method that no Soul Master in this World could ever comprehend.
Those metal molecules, which were originally tense and lifeless under the compression of space, seemed to be infused with a wisp of lively vitality the moment they touched this pure psychic fluctuation.
The inertia that had accumulated for who knows how many years was instantly awakened!
Boom!
In the vision of the Spiritual dimension, the previously lifeless structure of the refined gold suddenly became active; the metal molecules actually began to actively cater to Mo Fan’s Spiritual will, even producing a microscopic resonance akin to jumping for joy.
The inanimate object had emotions at this moment!
“Wake up for me!!”
A bright light surged in Mo Fan’s dark eyes, and the force he had slightly reined in because the refined gold was about to reach its limit was unleashed without reservation in this instant.
The Thousand Refinement steel hammer was swung high and slammed heavily onto the center point of the refined gold!
Clang————Ang!!!!!
With that single hammer strike, the entire president’s exclusive forging room shook violently.
A dragon’s roar, seemingly coming from the ancient primordial era, instantly tore through the silence in the room!
It was hair-raising.
Saint Craftsman Mu Chen’s hand, which was about to call a stop, froze in mid-air.
He stared fixedly at the forging table, his eyes nearly popping out.
He saw that the piece of refined gold, which had reached its limit, not only did not shatter after enduring that peak hammer strike, but instead erupted with a terrifying, dazzling golden light that was impossible to look at directly.
A golden beam of light as thick as a bucket shot straight to the ceiling, rippling layer after layer of golden waves like water across the top of the dark blue secret room!
“Thousand… Thousand Refinement Grade One! No, even Thousand Refinement Grade One isn’t this exaggerated.”
Saint Craftsman Mu Chen fell to his knees with a thud at the edge of the forging table, his entire being completely stunned.
From the dead end of being stuck at Hundred Refinements to the miraculous phenomenon of a single hammer strike, this kid didn’t even have the slightest transition in between.
Was the lifelessness of over eight hundred hammer strikes just to pave the way for that final moment of miracles?
Moreover, this quality of Thousand Refinement was unheard of.
If it weren’t for Mo Fan’s insufficient Soul Power, he would have had Mo Fan perform Spirit Forging on the spot.
“How was it, Uncle?”
Mo Fan leaned back wearily.
That move just now seemed understated, but it actually had extremely high requirements for the quality of magic energy, especially the move “Resurgence of All Things,” which was at least a super-tier technique.
Even if it was a castrated version, it drained a large amount of Mo Fan’s Soul Power.
“Awesome… just awesome…”
Saint Craftsman Mu Chen was completely convinced.
He gripped the edge of the forging table tightly with both hands, the burning light in his eyes almost ready to spew out in a tangible form.
“You kid, you’re going to flip the coffin lid of the founding master!”
He could clearly feel that the surface of the refined gold carried an extremely high-spirited Spiritual rhythm.
This was no longer as simple as Thousand Refinement Grade One.
It wasn’t Spirit Forging, yet it was even better than Spirit Forging.
In the history of forging on the Douluo Continent, the definition of Thousand Refinement is to awaken the metal, but it only allows the inanimate object to develop a trace of spirituality.
But this piece of refined gold before him, under the awakening of Mo Fan’s psychic magic, had every single molecule inside it roaring and cheering.
On a physical level, it could already be called a Martial Soul.
“I have immersed myself in the art of forging for a lifetime and have seen countless stunning metals. But I can be certain that even Divine Smith Zhen Hua absolutely could not forge such a metal! It clearly has no Soul Power fluctuations, yet it has such strong emotions.”
Saint Craftsman Mu Chen looked at Mo Fan with incredibly eager eyes, as if he had witnessed the reincarnation of the God of Forging: “Mo Fan, how on earth did you do that?”
Considering how good Saint Craftsman Mu Chen had been to him, Mo Fan spread his hands and explained:
“It’s very simple. My Martial Soul is magic. Space Magic allows me to perceive the internal structure of the metal from a microscopic perspective, so I can purify and compress it to the most extreme state. As for what you said about making the metal breathe, I used psychic magic to directly awaken the inert emotions within this metal.”
Space Magic…
Saint Craftsman Mu Chen was dumbfounded.
Can it really be done like this?
This is clearly cheating!
“You kid… you’ve created your own school of thought!”
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart: “No wonder there was no movement at first, and it only erupted on that last hammer strike. Your Martial Soul is simply born for forging. Take my advice: stop learning Soul Guidance Arrays, focus on the path of forging, and you will surely become a Divine Craftsman. No, you can even surpass a Divine Craftsman!”
Mo Fan shook his head decisively.
“I don’t want to. No matter how good the metal is, if it isn’t engraved with an array, it’s just a piece of scrap metal. Uncle, times have changed.”
Saint Craftsman Mu Chen gave a bitter smile.
He knew this logic, but Mo Fan’s talent was too heaven-defying, and he desperately wanted to cultivate a new star for the forging World.
“Since you are reluctant to give up arrays, I will teach you the final lesson of Thousand Refinement today—Thousand Refinement Shaping.”
“I see that you don’t have a suitable forging hammer, so why don’t you forge this piece of Thousand Refinement refined gold into your own exclusive forging hammer? After all, you will be able to forge even better metal in the future.”
Mo Fan’s eyes lit up; this was a good idea.
Following Saint Craftsman Mu Chen’s rhythm, clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
As the hammer shadows flew, two heavy forging hammers with ancient designs and mystical patterns covering their bodies gradually took shape in the golden light.
One was huge and heavy, used for rough forging to open up heaven and earth.
The other was delicate and small, used for meticulous carving.
As the last hammer fell, he brought his fingers together like a knife and cut his palm.
A smear of hot blood splashed onto the two newly formed dark gold heavy hammers with a slap!
Blood sacrifice complete!
The brilliant golden light on the two heavy hammers suddenly converged, and they floated lightly in mid-air.
Mo Fan reached out and summoned them.
As the twin hammers entered his hands, a feeling of blood connection welled up.
What surprised him even more was that a faint silver glimmer had spontaneously appeared on the twin hammers the moment the blood sacrifice was performed.
Characteristic: Space Resonance!
When the hammer heads collide, space creates wrinkles and collapses at a microscopic level, achieving a superimposed purification effect.
“Good! This special effect is good…” Saint Craftsman Mu Chen nodded repeatedly after trying it out.
