-------------------------------- ---
"Come in." Mangtian said to Tang Wulin.
"Oh."
Following Mang Tian into the studio, the hall of the studio was messy, with various metal parts placed everywhere. Tang Wulin could only barely recognize them. Many of the parts should be parts of the soul-guiding mecha.
Mangtian didn't stop and continued walking inside, and he hurriedly followed.
The facade here is not big, but the space inside is quite large. After passing through a corridor, Mang Tian led Tang Wulin to a room.
There is a workbench in the room, but with Tang Wulin's current height, he can't reach it.
Mang Tian stopped, turned to look at Tang Wulin, and said, "Do you know what forging is?"
Tang Wulin shook his head blankly.
Mang Tian said lightly: "Actually, I didn't want to accept you originally. You are too young and not suitable for forging. But your father insists on letting you try. If you feel that it doesn't work after you try, just Get out of here, but don’t cry here, understand?”
"I won't cry, Uncle Mangtian." Tang Wulin protested.
Mang Tiandao: "This is your mission today." He pointed to the side.
On the ground next to it, there is a metal platform about half a meter high, with a round metal block on it. There is a soul guidance screen below.
Mang Tian picked up two small metal hammers from the side and handed them to Tang Wulin, "Did you see that round metal block? Use these hammers to strike a thousand times, five hundred times on the left and right. Only if it reaches enough The counter will count only if you have to swing the hammer up and then bring it down again. Once it is completed, I will tell you what forging is. If it is not completed, you will not be able to do it tomorrow.”
< br>After saying that, he thrust a pair of metal hammers into Tang Wulin's hands, turned around and left.
The handle of the metal hammer is about one foot long, and the hammer head is cylindrical, half a foot long, and the cross-sectional diameter is about ten centimeters. Each handle weighs about ten pounds. This is already a heavy weight for a child who is only six years old. What's more, you have to pick it up and hit it.
Tang Wulin also grimaced when he saw the hammers. However, when he took the hammers from Mang Tian, he was surprised to find that the hammers did not seem to be as heavy as he thought.
Is it hollow? Uncle Mangtian looks fierce, but he is actually quite nice.
Tang Wulin's face showed a hint of an "I understand" smile, he picked up the hammer with his right hand and smashed it down on the round metal.
"Bang!" The metallic roar startled him. The soul guidance screen below seemed to be activated. When the screen lit up, a number one popped up.
Pick up the hammer with your left hand and drop it, "Bang!"
2.
It doesn’t seem too difficult! Tang Wulin picked up the hammer with both arms and began to hammer.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!" Continuous hammering makes the numbers on the screen keep jumping. The hammer didn't seem too heavy, at least Tang Wulin didn't feel too heavy a load. A pair of hammers kept hammering down, and the numbers below continued to increase.
When he hit it a hundred times, his body began to sweat. It was only after three hundred times that his arms began to feel sore and swollen.
Persistence, dad said, persistence is victory!
Enduring the feeling of soreness and swelling, Tang Wulin continued to swing his hammers. After five hundred strokes, the soreness finally turned into soreness, but he still persisted hard and refused to let himself stop.
The pain became more and more intense, and Tang Wulin's arms began to turn slightly red, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
He kept telling himself in his heart that I must work hard to learn forging so that I can make money to buy souls. It makes parents happy and protects Naer.
Seven hundred times, I can no longer lift my arms, and the speed of swinging the hammer has also slowed down significantly.
But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, sweating profusely. The uniform issued by the college was already stuck to his body, and the sweat kept dripping. But at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly felt numbness in his tailbone, and his whole body trembled as if he was electrocuted. The original soreness actually weakened a bit. The hammer that already felt very heavy in my hand became lighter again.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The beating continued, and the next three hundred blows no longer seemed so heavy.
"One thousand!" The number finally jumped to the position requested by Mangtian. Tang Wulin then put down his hammers and panted heavily. He could feel the indescribable pain in his palms, and his arms were so sore and swollen that they didn't feel like his own. In addition, he also felt a sense of relief, and the numbness from his tailbone spread to his cervical spine. , back and forth, unspeakable bondage.
What he couldn't see was that faint golden lines were lingering along his spine along with the tingling sensation.
It took five minutes for him to regain his breath.
"Uncle Mangtian, I'm done." Tang Wulin searched for a long time before he found Mangtian sitting there in a room, playing with a part.
Mang Tian was stunned for a moment and glanced at the watch on his wrist. Only half an hour had passed since he handed over the task to Tang Wulin.
"Have you finished smashing it?"
"Yes!" Tang Wulin nodded.
Seeing his sweaty look, Mangtian didn't question anything anymore. He always liked to speak with facts. He stood up and took Tang Wulin to the previous room.
One thousand, a big number appeared in front of me. The instrument was set up by Mangtian himself. It was naturally impossible for a six-year-old child to cheat. But it's still incredible.
The two hammers are certainly not heavy to him, but they are by no means hollow. Each of them actually weighs ten kilograms. For a normal adult male, if he swings such a hammer a thousand times, his arms would probably be too weak to lift it up, and it would be difficult to complete it in half an hour. Let alone a child who is only six years old.
The test given by Mang Tian was simply a way of declining. He had a good relationship with Tang Ziran and could not refuse directly, but he was really unwilling to teach a six-year-old child who in his opinion had no chance of learning blacksmithing well.
But everything in front of me...
"Show me if you hit me again. I won't stop until I tell you to stop." Mang Tian said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Tang Wulin picked up the hammer again. After resting for a while, the pain in his arm subsided a little.
"Bang, bang, bang..." The hammer fell, without any skill or leverage, just a simple, direct hit on the metal block.
Based on Mangtian's forging experience, he was sure after just a few glances that the child was strong enough to control the pair of hammers to complete the hammering.
Is this the legendary talent?
