Douluo Dalu: This Soul Master is to Weird

"I hope I get a suitable Thousand-Refined special effect."

Looking at the freshly forged Thousand-Refined Liquid Silver Twin Hammers, Mu Yang thought to himself.

For any metal, Thousand-Refinement was a process of sublimation and transformation.

Not only did the metal's properties become significantly stronger after Thousand-Refinement, but the special effect that appeared upon sublimation was also an essential part of the process.

Moreover, perhaps due to fate favoring newcomers, a blacksmith's first-ever Thousand-Refined metal had a very high probability of obtaining an exceptional sublimation effect.

Because of this, Mu Yang had chosen Liquid Silver—a rare metal ideal for crafting forging hammers—to break through to Thousand-Refinement and conduct a blood sacrifice.

However, Thousand-Refined special effects were not fixed; they were like a blind box—except there was no "Thank you for participating." While one might get a grand prize, there was also the risk of drawing an underwhelming effect.

An underwhelming effect wasn't necessarily bad, but it might not be suitable for the intended creation using that particular Thousand-Refined metal.

For example, with his current Liquid Silver Twin Hammers, if the Thousand-Refined special effect turned out to be "Sharpness," then it would be completely unsuitable.

However, the "Sharpness" effect would be an exceptional special effect if used on a Thousand-Refined metal meant for crafting swords or other bladed soul tools.

Thus, the strength or weakness of a Thousand-Refined metal's sublimation effect depended on how well it suited the metal's intended purpose.

Once again, Mu Yang took out a cubic, unrefined Liquid Silver ingot. He picked up one of the Liquid Silver Hammers and lightly tapped it against the ingot.

"Ding—"

A crisp sound rang out.

Clearly, the Thousand-Refined special effect of the Liquid Silver Twin Hammers was not the "Stacked Hammer" effect that a certain future protagonist would encounter. Yet, a smile appeared on Mu Yang's lips.

Although it wasn't the "Stacked Hammer" effect, Mu Yang keenly noticed a faint shockwave within the Liquid Silver ingot at the moment of impact.

Without hesitation, Mu Yang picked up the other Liquid Silver Hammer. Ice-blue Iceflame soul power surged from both hands, pouring into the Thousand-Refined Liquid Silver Twin Hammers as he activated his forging mastery— Heavenly hammer Technique.

His right hammer, carrying a fierce whistle, smashed down.

"Clang—"

A powerful metallic clang echoed as Iceflame soul power seeped into the Liquid Silver ingot, transforming into Iceflame to temper it.

At the same time, a strong shockwave rippled through the ingot, forcibly expelling impurities. The ingot's volume visibly shrank in proportion.

Utilizing the rebound force, Mu Yang retracted his right hammer, spun his body, and slammed down with his left hammer. Iceflame soul power penetrated once again, the shockwave effect reappearing. The ingot's volume shrank further, while more impurities were expelled.

At this moment, Mu Yang, wielding the Liquid Silver Twin Hammers, resembled a rapidly spinning top, his twin hammers striking in a perfectly rhythmic sequence.

Once again, the forging chamber was filled with the steady, rhythmic sounds of metal being hammered.

'Whoosh—'

Fifteen minutes later, as the ingot's life force accumulated to its peak, it suddenly burst into a brilliant silver radiance, illuminating the entire forging chamber in dazzling silver light.

Thousand-Refined Liquid Silver, achieved!

Time: Fifteen minutes!

Having once again forged Thousand-Refined Liquid Silver, Mu Yang did not immediately proceed with a blood sacrifice. Instead, bathed in the glow of Thousand-Refinement, he looked at the Liquid Silver Twin Hammers in his hands with immense satisfaction.

He had only just stepped into the realm of Thousand-Refinement, yet he could complete the process in a mere fifteen minutes—his speed was practically astonishing.

If this were the Armor Warrior era, where the market for Thousand-Refined metals was mature, his efficiency alone would have made him rich beyond belief!

"I'll call it... Shockwave Special Effect!"

Mu Yang didn't know the exact name for the Thousand-Refined special effect of his Liquid Silver Twin Hammers, which generated shockwave power. But that didn't matter—no matter how he had acquired his Thousand-Refinement skills, he was now a pioneer among blacksmiths on the continent, and the naming rights were his.

The Shockwave Special Effect allowed the generated shockwave force to distribute evenly across the entire object.

For example, even if his hammer only struck a corner of a metal piece, the Shockwave Special Effect worked like a ripple, allowing the force to spread across the entire surface and refine the whole piece.

Although the force applied evenly across the metal wasn't exactly the same as his hammer's raw impact power, the two were linked—the greater the force of his hammer strike, the stronger the resulting shockwave. This fit perfectly with Mu Yang's "Great Strength Creates Miracles" forging style.

Because of this, Mu Yang was able to complete the Thousand-Refinement of Liquid Silver in just fifteen minutes.

On the forging table, the dazzling light of Thousand-Refinement gradually faded, revealing the grayish surface of the refined Liquid Silver.

At that moment, a surprised voice came from the entrance of the forging chamber.

"Xiao Yang, what was that silver light just now?"

"Aunt, that was the Thousand-Refinement Spirit Light."

Setting down the Thousand-Refined Liquid Silver Twin Hammers, Mu Yang turned around to see Shui Yanyu standing at the door—she had been watching for quite some time.

"Thousand-Refinement Spirit Light?"

A look of confusion flashed across Shui Yanyu's eyes.

"It's a unique phenomenon that appears when metal reaches a certain level of refinement. I call this stage 'Thousand-Refinement,' and that dazzling glow emitted during the process, I call it 'Thousand-Refinement Spirit Light.'"

"Xiao Yang, you actually forged to a new level?" Shui Yanyu asked with a strange expression.

Although she didn't know much about blacksmithing, she was sure that regular blacksmiths couldn't possibly make metal shine with such an extraordinary glow.

Clearly, Mu Yang had played a whole new trick with forging.

"Ahem~ Aunt, I think I need to correct something."

"Before noon today, you could say I was just someone who hammered metal. But from now on, I am officially a qualified blacksmith."

Mu Yang cleared his throat, his expression serious as he made the correction.

Not only was he now a blacksmith, but he was also a forging master! Even in the Armor Warrior era, where Divine Blacksmiths had appeared, a blacksmith who mastered Thousand-Refinement could absolutely be called a master.

"Alright, alright, you're a blacksmith—and not just a blacksmith, but a Divine Blacksmith, right?"

Seeing Mu Yang's serious expression, Shui Yanyu teased him.

But honestly, if Mu Yang could take forging to a new level, calling him a Divine Blacksmith didn't seem entirely wrong.

After all, even the three so-called "Divine Blacksmiths" of the continent hadn't introduced something new to forging.

Hmm... If Mu Yang hadn't studied blacksmithing and specifically mentioned that his metalwork was unique, Shui Yanyu wouldn't have even known that the renowned Clear Sky Douluo was one of the three Divine Blacksmiths of their time.

"I wouldn't dare claim to be a Divine Blacksmith—just a forging master, that's all."

Mu Yang quickly waved his hand, humbly declining.

He knew very well what it meant to be a true Divine Blacksmith and how much weight that title carried. As someone who had only recently stepped onto the path of forging, he wouldn't dare overestimate himself.
