The Legend of the Dragon King

Zhen Hua suddenly shouted as his own soul power instantly erupted and surged into the giant hammer wildly. The various elements in the air also rushed into the giant hammer.

Water, fire, earth, and wind! Four types of elements!

Because of the longer time it took, Tang Wulin had clearly sensed that these were the four elements. They were infused in different amounts as well.

Among them, the fire element particles numbered the most, followed by the earth element, the water element, and the wind element with the least number of particles. They coated the giant hammer and linked together organically. Under the influence of the Heavenly Ascension Platform, they quickly converged upon the hammer.

“Come!” Zhen Hua yelled again.

The hammer dropped down!

There were rumbling sounds.

The entire Heavenly Ascension Platform shook intensely. This time, the giant hammer did not bounce back. The instant it fell, the four-colored radiance seemed to have been fixed on the forging table. The entire table was covered in the multicolored glows.

A terrifying energy shockwave erupted in that instant, and the various elements in the air surged wildly into it.

In the next instant, the giant hammer bounced back up suddenly. A peculiar ripple of light came out from the forging table. Even stranger was that the metal was flat before this, but it had turned into a sphere and started bouncing. It had become translucent and it seemed to have four colored glows which enhanced each other’s beauty. They were the four elements that had just been infused.

It bounced in a lively manner on the forging table and gave off a joyous emotion.

Soul Forge. Yes, One Pound Soul Forge!

From the start of the forging process until now, Zhen Hua had struck three times.

The first strike wasThousand Refinement. Fuse forge. This seemed like the simplest and most direct step.

The second strike was Spirit Forge.

The third strike was Soul Forge!

With merely three strikes, in about two minutes, a Soul Forged metal was produced.

That was not all. Tang Wulin was a Saint Craftsman himself, so he could better perceive the depth behind the entire forging process.

The bouncing metal did not merely contain the characteristics of the two original metals, but also the four elements which were infused into it. This gave it a finish as if it was fuse forged with six kinds of elements.

This was the most impressive part of Zhen Hua’s forging.

If it was only soul forging, Tang Wulin would also be able to do it, albeit at a slower pace. However, he forcibly raised the metal’s quality by a great margin through forging. This was something Tang Wulin could not do.

Initially, Tang Wulin had great confidence in his own forging skills. However, after he witnessed the Divine Craftsman of a generation’s forging, he truly understood how huge a gap there was between him and Zhen Hua.

This was true forging! This was no longer an art. This was practically creating life on the spot.

He had no way of knowing that even Zhen Hua himself would not usually forge in such a manner. This was because it would consume a lot of his mental strength, and there was no need to do this.

The reason why he chose to do this today was to intimidate Tang Wulin so that this young man would learn Heavenly Refinement from him in a humble manner. It could be said that this Divine Craftsman had unleashed his trump card.

The Soul Forged metal bounced about on the forging table. It was showing exceptionally affectionate feelings for Zhen Hua. At that point, the giant hammer that had formed from the condensation of Zhen Hua’s soul power dissipated.

He closed his eyes again.

“Bzzt!” There was no noise, but Tang Wulin seemed to have heard a buzz in this instant.

This sound did not originate from Zhen Hua or the metal, but from all around him.

Elemental resonance!

While he felt shocked, Tang Wulin immediately recognized this sensation.

He was right. This was elemental resonance. The instant Zhen Hua closed his eyes, the elements around him resonated with him.

So powerful!

‘Uncle master isn’t at Spirit Domain realm, but he’s able to control his spiritual power to such an extent and has such an affinity with the elements. There’s only one explanation for this. He must have a great understanding of the laws of Heaven and Earth.’

The same four elements gathered near him. This time, they were swirling about around Zhen Hua.

The Heavenly Ascension Platform’s dome was also colored with the four elements. The dense elemental shockwaves gradually grew thicker. A four-colored funnel appeared above Zhen Hua’s head and the elements rushed into it continuously. These elements hovered around the vortex and slowly melted into it.

Zhen Hua still had his eyes tightly shut, and his body was glowing faintly. The Soul Forged metal before him seemed to have sensed something. It stopped moving and waited silently where it was.

There was an intriguing sensation.

Tang Wulin clearly saw the Soul Forged metal changing. Zhen Hua did not do anything to it, but the metal’s shape was slowly shifting. In no time, in took the form of a human.

Facial features gradually took shape. Tang Wulin was shocked to see that it greatly resembled Zhen Hua. It looked like a miniature version of the Divine Craftsman.

What was this?

This was definitely not Soul Forging. Could this be Heavenly Refinement? However, Tang Wulin clearly felt that Zhen Hua had done nothing!

“This is Heart Forging. It’s where you communicate with the metal you’ve forged. You’ve given it intelligence, and you must give it a soul as well. It’s just like your child, so you must have a heart that’ll protect it with everything you’ve got.”

Heart Forging? This was Tang Wulin’s first time hearing this term?

Heart to heart communication!

Zhen Hua’s eyes were still shut. He pointed toward the skies with one hand and he pointed toward the earth with his other. The four-colored funnel in the air moved, slowly drifting from above his head to above the metal. Then, the four-colored radiance was poured directly onto the metal.

Instantly, the metal humanoid flickered with a four-colored glow. It was filled with a dense energy shockwave.

Zhen Hua’s face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that this kind of forging took its toll on him.

Tang Wulin jumped when a thunderous rumble came out of nowhere, startling him.

A four-colored bolt of lightning appeared in the center of the floating vortex and struck the four-colored metal.

The metal had a bright four-colored glow. It shook and shone with a brilliant light. It then changed again, becoming nimbler than before. It was even covered with a faint four-colored glow that seemed to shield it like a protective barrier.

There was another rumble. A bolt of four-colored lightning, thicker than the first one, descended from the skies and hit the metal again.

The four-colored metal gave a sharp cry. Light burst forth from its surface as it forcibly absorbed the lightning energy.

Tang Wulin clearly saw Zhen Hua’s body shake.

Shortly after, Zhen Hua took a step forward. His milk-white soul power gushed forth and surged into the four-colored metal. He raised his right hand and pointed with his index finger.

Something unusual happened. The metal humanoid raised its right hand as well. It extended its index finger and aligned it with Zhen Hua’s finger.

There was a third rumble, and another bolt of lightning descended from the skies.

The glow of electric light filled the space in an instant. Zhen Hua’s body shook and electricity traced along his body. His face grew paler while the four-colored metal was covered in a brilliant golden radiance. Throughout the process of absorbing the lightning, a grating sound of metal rubbing against metal was heard. It was as if the metal was under immense pressure.

Zhen Hua sighed softly and flailed his left arm. The four-colored glow suddenly faded from the Heavenly Ascension Platform, and the gathered elements dissipated. At the same time, he grabbed the metal on the forging table with his right hand and shifted backward.

“Boom!” After the fourth lightning bolt struck, the clouds in the skies started dissipating along with the fading four-colored glow.

Zhen Hua’s body swayed gently. He appeared slightly weak, and Tang Wulin hastily went over to support him.
