Tang Wulin looked at the piece of mithril emitting a faint silver glow before him and remained silent for a moment.
In the past, whenever he forged, he would mostly choose Sunken Silver; after all, Sunken Silver had moderate hardness, good ductility, and was one of the metals he was most familiar with.
Of course, forging mithril now was not much pressure for him either; no matter what, mithril was still a top-tier metal, and Tang Wulin had also learned how to forge it.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, then gripped the Sunken Silver hammer in his hand, closed his eyes, and began to concentrate.
The surrounding noises seemed to completely vanish at this moment, leaving only the sounds of his own heartbeat and breathing.
Then he abruptly opened his eyes, a flash of light sweeping across his pupils.
Clang!!!
The Sunken Silver hammer fell heavily, smashing fiercely onto the mithril! A crisp striking sound echoed across the battlefield.
Just at this time, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Ji Juechen also drew near.
Their eyes were filled with curiosity, watching the big movements of several people with great interest.
What did Tang Wulin just say he wanted to forge… a One-word Battle Armor?
Xiao Hongchen pondered inwardly, could this also be a type of Spirit Tool?
At this time, Xiao Hongchen couldn't help but sigh in emotion; could it be that everyone from this Shrek Academy actually knew how to manufacture Spirit Tools?
His gaze fell upon the pair of Sunken Silver hammers in Tang Wulin's hands, and then he couldn't help falling silent.
This Sunken Silver hammer… no matter how he looked at it, it was quite heavy.
If he were to pick it up himself, he felt he wouldn't be able to lift it at all. Ordinarily, when facing metals that were difficult to handle, he would choose to leave the forging work to professional people or use specialized Spirit Tools for assistance.
Xiao Hongchen's gaze fell upon Tang Wulin, watching him forge with complete concentration. He didn't dare underestimate Tang Wulin now; after all, among the battles he had witnessed, Tang Wulin was definitely the fiercest one among these students.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of the Sunken Silver hammer striking the metal was like a drizzle, dense yet rhythmic.
Hammer after hammer, each strike landed precisely on the mithril with even force and extreme speed. Tang Wulin's hands danced across the forging table like butterflies weaving through flowers, giving off a very pleasing visual effect and aesthetic appeal.
Right in the middle of the forging process, two rays of light—one golden, one silver—surged from Tang Wulin's palms, and he slowly injected his own Gold and Silver Dragon King Bloodline Power into that piece of mithril.
The golden light and silver light intertwined like two swimming dragons, wandering across the surface of the mithril. Those lights penetrated into the interior of the metal and merged into one with the mithril.
The momentum of the forging was quite immense, far surpassing the cognition of Xiao Hongchen and the other two.
Every hammer strike would burst forth with dual-colored golden and silver light, shaking the surrounding air to the point of trembling.
Xiao Hongchen widened his eyes, his mouth wide open.
"Th-This is simply too exaggerated, right?"
Huo Yuhao stood to the side, watching Tang Wulin's smooth and flowing forging movements with eyes full of emotion.
"It really looks just like art…"
As the forging continued, fine beads of sweat seeped out from Tang Wulin's forehead, but his hands remained steady, and every hammer strike was incomparably precise.
Time passed minute by minute.
Half an hour felt like just a fleeting moment.
Clang——!!!
The final hammer fell, and a blinding golden light suddenly erupted from that piece of mithril!
Immediately following that, a crisp dragon roar emanated from within the mithril!
Xiao Hongchen's pupils sharply contracted, his face full of disbelief.
"This is… a dragon roar?!"
No, how could a piece of metal emit a dragon roar?
After the light dissipated, that piece of mithril had completely changed its appearance. On the original silver-white metal surface, a layer of dragon scale patterns had now emerged. Those patterns were dense and lifelike, as if dragon scales were truly covering it.
Moreover, that piece of metal actually exuded an aura of life!
What kind of method was this again, that could actually make a piece of metal seem as if it had come alive? Could it be the Gold and Silver Dragon King Bloodline that Tang Wulin had just used?
Or perhaps it was that kind of forging technique? Xiao Hongchen's eyes were filled with shock.
Tang Wulin looked at the piece of metal before him and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he turned around to look at those professional personnel and handed the metal over.
"I'll leave it to you."
The middle-aged man at the head took the piece of metal, a flash of amazement crossing his eyes.
"Classmate Tang, rest assured, leave it to us."
Then, those professional personnel began to act. Their movements were quite skilled and their workflow was clear; obviously, they had done this countless times.
Several more hours passed. During this time, Tang Wulin kept staying to the side, waiting for the forging of his One-word Battle Armor, and the others were also unwilling to miss this scene; their attention could be said to be quite concentrated.
Even Wu Siduo, who already possessed a One-word Battle Armor, shifted her attention over, wanting to see what Tang Wulin's One-word Battle Armor would look like.
Finally, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, those staff members completed the production of the battle armor and picked up a set of silver-white armor from the workbench.
After all, this thing was made of mithril, so the color didn't suddenly turn golden, and this battle armor didn't have any other fancy decorations; it simply maxed out its functionality.
Seeing this, a flash of joy crossed Tang Wulin's eyes. Then he took the set of armor and put it on his body. The moment the armor fit snugly against him, a dazzling light abruptly surged out from the armor, wrapping Tang Wulin completely within it.
Ordinary One-word Battle Armor required external wearing, but soulful metal was different; it could directly merge into one with Tang Wulin, being released just like a Spirit. And at the moment of putting it on, Tang Wulin could feel that his strength had increased quite a bit at this instant.
Xie Xie stood to the side, looking at Tang Wulin's majestic appearance with eyes full of envy.
"Boss, aren't you way too handsome?!"
"Wait for me, I'm also going to get a terribly handsome battle armor! I'll catch up to you right away!"
Xie Xie spoke with extreme excitement. No matter what, it felt like Tang Wulin was always one step ahead of him; clearly, back when the two of them first met, he was the one who understood more.
He never expected Tang Wulin to catch up from behind and surpass him; it was simply a cheat-like life.
"Really? Wanting to catch up to Wulin, you are still far from it."
Wei Xiaofeng on the side unceremoniously began to tear down his pride.
"Nosy!"
Xie Xie looked at Wei Xiaofeng with considerable dissatisfaction.
Tang Wulin smiled as he watched the two bicker, but didn't say much else.
At this time, Teacher Shen Yi walked over, her pupils falling upon Tang Wulin.
"Wulin, have you decided what to name your battle armor?"
A One-word Battle Armor could be given a name, and Tang Wulin had already thought of it long ago.
"Mn, I've already thought of it. The name of my battle armor is simply Dragon."
After hearing these words from Tang Wulin, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er also looked at Tang Wulin with considerable envy, thinking to themselves what they would name their own battle armor if they were to name one.
Huo Yuhao quickly thought of his Spirit; if it were a One-word Battle Armor, then he would name it Spirit, whereas Wang Dong'er also thought that her One-word Battle Armor would be named Butterfly.
"Boss, hurry up and use those Abyssal Creatures to test your blade!"
Xie Xie couldn't wait to see Tang Wulin wearing the battle armor and crushing the Abyssal Creatures.
"Mn."
Tang Wulin was also itching to move at this moment, the Golden Dragon Spear appearing in his hand. Wearing the silver-white battle armor, he plunged straight into the Abyssal Creatures—the much heavier Dayun truck had arrived!
