Chapter Forty-One: Forging Grade Test
!" Mu Chen coughed, slightly easing the awkward atmosphere. 。As a father, how could he fail to see the thoughts in his daughter's heart But at this time, Tang Wulin was already soaring through the he...There will be an update tonight at 12 o'clock. Hehe. At least three updates tomorrow.

With narrowed eyes, Cen Yue picked up Tang Wulin's table. "Come with me," he said. He wanted to see just how capable this disciple of Mang was.
What is called a test house is actually a forge. The blacksmith tests, of course, he has to go to school here
As soon as he entered the forge, Tang Wulin's original nervousness instantly eased. The equipment here was similar to that of Meng Studio. Since arriving in Donghai City, this was his first time encountering a familiar environment.
The assessor was a middle-aged woman, and it was clear she knew Cen Yue. "Master Cen, you came personally to test I just heard that this child is only nine years old. If he's even a little bit better, wouldn't he be breaking the president's record"
Cen Yue said, "Let's test it first."
The examiner nodded to Tang Wulin and said, "There are fifteen kinds of metals here. You choose one to forge and refine. I will score you based on the metal you choose and the degree of refinement. If your score exceeds sixty, you can be promoted to a first-class blacksmith."
"Yes." Tang Wulin nodded and walked towards the shelf beside him where metal was placed.
Fifteen kinds of metal, each one a foot square.
These metals come in various colors and textures. The blacksmithing level test seems simple, requiring only a single forging refinement. However, it actually tests many things.
The assessor didn't tell him what these metals were, so he needed to have a good understanding of various metals. At the same time, he also had to choose metals that he was capable of forging.
The quality of metal and the refining effect are mutually reinforcing.
Tang Wulin scanned the room and immediately recognized all the types of metal. After a moment's thought, he reached up from the center and pulled down a piece of metal from the shelf.

This piece of metal shimmered with a faint silvery light. Seeing his choice, both Cen Yue and the assessor revealed a hint of surprise. They hadn't expected Tang Wulin to choose this kind of metal that was very heavy and dense.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I choose this piece of silver." Tang Wulin placed the silver on the forging platform, without making a sound.
He had high demands of him, one of which was that besides forging, no metallic collision sound was allowed.
A piece of silver, one foot square, weighed a staggering three hundred kilograms in reality. It was incredibly heavy, but from the look on Tang Wulin's face, it didn't seem to be causing him any trouble at all.
"Wow, you're strong!" The assessor was also surprised. She was only now starting to believe that the kid in front of her, who had listed his age as nine on the application, could actually complete this test.
Tang Wulin said: "Two masters, can I begin"
The assessor nodded. "Begin. You have one hour. Within that hour, refine this silver ingot as much as you can. The degree to which you succeed will determine your score."
"Yes!" Tang Wulin didn't think about anything else, and immediately began to operate skillfully.
Open the forge, heat it up, and put in the silver ingots to smelt. The smelting time is also calculated within the refining time. There's no room for cheating in the blacksmith level test, the association has very strict requirements for every blacksmith because once they reach a certain level, they can take on missions to forge items. The products forged directly relate to the reputation of the Blacksmith Association.
Tang Wulin did a little stretching, and took several deep breaths, adjusting his soul power.
He chose silver not to show off, but because during his time in Ao Lai City, his last forging was the Thousand-Forged Silver Hammer. After that experience, he understood the properties of silver very deeply. And the piece of silver he chose was very similar in quality to the one used last time. Naturally, he made his choice when he saw it with delight.
However, he still remembered Meng's words. Besides forging alone, he was not allowed to use the Thousand Forging Heavy Silver Hammer, and he was not allowed to show the Thousand Forging Heavy Silver Hammer to anyone before he turned fifteen.
Looking at the temperature of the metal displayed on the forging platform, Tang Wulin's breathing gradually adjusted evenly, and his eyes began to become focused.
Cen Yue stood aside, offering no guidance. He kept his attention on the child before him, particularly focusing on his eyes.
When he saw Tang Wulin's eyes begin to focus, he couldn't help but secretly admire him. Mang ah Mang, you've struck gold!
Amongst blacksmiths, Cen Yue was the most dedicated to forging. He didn't possess any outstanding talents; he simply loved it and chose this profession out of passion. He has come this far step by step, steadily and persistently. Relying on his love and focus for forging, he has carved out a place for himself in the world of blacksmiths.
Tang Wulin was only nine years old! For a child of nine to be able to focus like this meant that he truly understood forging. Cen Yue's impression of the child instantly improved greatly.
Tang Wulin swiftly pressed the button with his left hand, right as the molten silver floated slowly from the forging platform, reaching the temperature required for forging.
The assessor quickly scribbled something down in their notes.
As a master assessor for the blacksmithing level test, she had conducted countless assessments. From this detail about Tang Wulin, she could tell that this child was not forging silver for the first time. However, could silver be forged by a blacksmith who wasn't registered yet
Tang Wulin begins!
Both arms trembled slightly at the sides of his body, and two streaks of black light appeared in his palms. It was a pair of thousand-forged tungsten steel hammers. The left hammer tapped lightly on the silver, producing two crisp "ding ding" sounds.
Cen Yue's gaze quickly fell on Tang Wulin's ears, clearly seeing that both of them trembled slightly.

He was listening, listening to the feedback of the metal. Good boy!

Just then, Tang Wulin's first hammer swing had already been launched. His right hand swung the hammer like lightning, and the air in the entire forging room suddenly became tense. With a low growl, in the next instant, the tungsten steel hammer heavily smashed onto the edge of the heavy silver ingot.
"Bang!" The tungsten steel hammer rebounded with a sound, and the silver sank slightly.
Tang Wulin's beautiful eyes almost lit up at the same time, his left fist hammered out again and again, "Bang!" Another deafening roar.
Two blasts echoed through the blacksmith's workshop, startling Cen Yue. His eyes widened considerably. This was... a thousand-forged tungsten steel hammert he had understood, Yun Ming continued, "From now on, you just need to cultivate step by step. With the soul force vortex as your foundation, your cultivation level will improve very quickly." 。If yo...
