What is called "resonance" is when the blacksmith and the metal they forge resonate with each other, entering a wonderful state of fusion. In this state, exquisite works are often produced because the forged creations contain the blacksmith's emotions and ideas.
Mu Chen did not enter the forging room because, even as the guild leader, he didn't have the authority. When a blacksmith is undergoing a level test, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to disturb them. Once disturbed, it could easily cause the blacksmith to lose focus, resulting in a failed test and potentially even lasting psychological damage.
That's kind of interesting!

Mu Chen returned to the front desk and asked the staff, "Who is testing in Room 3"
The staff member quickly took a look and said, "His name is Tang Wulin. He was brought here by Master Cen Yue. He's currently undergoing testing."
Holding one end, he handed a copy of the table to Mucen.
Hearing Cen Yue's name, Mu Chen laughed suddenly, "As for me, I was able to enter the fusion state during the test. It turns out it was Lao Cen who brought me people, no wonder. Eh, nine years old"
He looked at the staff in astonishment, "Are you sure your registration is correct This blacksmith being tested is only nine years old"
The staff member quickly replied, "That's right, we were just wondering how such a young child could be taking the level test."
Mu Chen was stunned. Nine years old That meant he was taking the first-level blacksmithing test
"Ding!" The soul guide communicator at his waist rang, Mu Chen took it off and answered.
"Dad, I'm ready. Have you arrived I'm in room number six."
I'll be right there.
Although he was confused, his daughter was obviously more important. Mu Chen quickly walked towards room number six.
"Time's up!" the tester uttered in a rather strange voice.
"When!" The last strike ended, Tang Wulin's twin hammers retracted, two streaks of black light flashed and disappeared into the Silver Ring at the same time.
His chest rose and fell slightly, his breathing a touch quicker than before. His face was flushed, and there was a hint of sweat on his forehead. But that was all.
The forging room fell into a brief silence. The assessor's gaze rested on Shen Yin, while Cen Yue's eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin's eyes.
From Tang Wulin's eyes, he seemed to see silver light flickering, the gleam of silver. Even though the forging was over, in his world, there was still only that previous focus. This child, if he doesn't go astray in the future, I'm afraid he will be an extraordinary being!
"Silver, purity exceeding a hundred forges, volume reduced by seven percent. The refining effect is about three times that of a hundred forge refinement." The assessor gave accurate data.
Such data, to a master blacksmith, might not be anything special. However, appearing on a child of only nine years old, whose body hasn't even fully developed, it is so incredible.
"Passed the test." The tester looked at Cen Yue.
Cen Yue smiled wryly: "Mang this fellow must be intentional."
The assessor exclaimed in surprise, "This child, is he a disciple of Mang"
"It's truly hard to imagine," Cen Yue nodded slightly, "but I have to admit it, this child is ready for a second-level assessment."
The assessor looked at Tang Wulin, "Kid, besides metal refining, can you do anything else"
Tang Wulin was only now fully recovering from his forging state. The feeling just now was truly exhilarating, the only drawback being that the Thousand Forging Tungsten Steel Hammer was a bit too light, and the forging ended too soon. In his current state, given enough time, he would have absolutely confidence in completing the Thousand Forgings.
"I can handle most small and medium-sized parts." Tang Wulin said seriously.
This time Cen Yue wasn't surprised, after all, Tang Wulin had passed by before. Mang thought he could take on the job alone.
"Forge a medium-sized part at random." The assessor said in a deep voice, "If you succeed, you will be directly assessed as a second-class artisan."
Second-class blacksmith, requires the ability to individually craft medium-sized parts and simultaneously refine rare metals through a hundredfold forging process.
Tang Wulin's refining just now was undoubtedly very good, he just needs to complete the forging of the parts.
"Yes!" Tang Wulin responded, immediately starting his forging.
The thousand-forged tungsten steel hammer reappeared, its rhythmic pounding echoing once more.
The assessor wanted to stop him, telling him that ordinary metal would suffice for this assessment. But Cen Yue stopped him with a look. He wanted to see just how far this nine-year-old child could go.
Once again, striking the silver, Tang Wulin's heart was filled with joy. It was a feeling from the depths of his soul, as if he had returned to his friends' side.
The deep silver hummed with a clear resonance, responding to each strike of his hammer. His blows grew faster and more insistent, without a moment's hesitation, the entire block of silver began to change.
With every hammer blow, it sprang higher. Tang Wulin increased his strength. The silver began to deform, and gradually, a rounded, medium-sized part took shape.
There were no mistakes, it was a completely smooth and natural feeling, as if every hammer blow landed exactly where it should. From Cen Yue's perspective, this was simply textbook forging!
This child's basic skills are so solid that even many apprentices who have been learning for over eight years at the ages of eighteen or nineteen are far behind.
There are no flashy moves, just pure and simple training, which gives a sense of extraordinary purity.
Generally, small parts are used in the connection of mechs, while medium-sized parts are already part of the mech's internal structure.
What Tang Wulin created was a semi-circular part, an important component inside the mecha's knee joint. Joint protective parts are the easiest to wear down, but joints are also the most suitable place to install a soul guiding array. Silver is perfect for conducting soul power, making it ideal for crafting joint parts. Tang Wulin obviously took this into consideration as well.
Another long time had passed. When the perfectly round, flawless part appeared before Cen Yue and the assessor, the two of them were even more silent than before.
"Two masters, do you think I passed" Tang Wulin was very satisfied with this work. In fact, this was his first time using silver to create parts. The only thing he felt was lacking was that this piece wasn't a thousand forging. And in reality, he was truly confident that he could complete a thousand forging.
After the last time he forged the thousand-refined silver, he discovered that his understanding of forging had risen to a new level. The feeling of forging the heavy silver again was truly exquisite.! That amount is truly terrifying. 。is absolutely unprecedented 。Although the emergence of artificial black-grade souls has slightly lowered the overall price of souls, the price of black-grade souls...
