Titanium

Hearing this rare metal, Tang Wulin's eyebrows raised slightly. He Xiaopeng's brows furrowed instead. " 。Among rare metals, there are some that are particularly difficult to forge. 。These particularly difficult-to-forge metals generally share a common characteristic: they are of too high a quality, being either too hard or too ductile. To affect them during the forging process requires significantly more effort. 。Titanium crystal is undoubtedly one of the best. 。It's more accurate to call it an unrefined ore rather than a rare metal. 。

Although it is very hard, it is also very brittle.

During the forging process, excessive force may cause breakage, while insufficient force will be unable to move it at all. 。Therefore, few blacksmiths choose to forge this metal. 。But if titanium crystal is purified, it becomes a very remarkable rare metal. It has a strong affinity for almost all other rare metals. Many high-level blacksmiths will use it to be extra fused into alloys to increase the strength of the alloy. 。The price of titanium crystals is also astonishing. Each piece of titanium crystal costs about sixty times the price of silver of the same weight. 。Therefore, when Shen Yi continued, "The winner can obtain your forged artifacts" 。Then, Tang Wulin and He Xiopeng's eyes both became somewhat fiery, especially Tang Wulin's. 。This is titanium crystal! Don't even talk about how expensive it is, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. 。This is a strategically important rare metal strictly controlled by the military and federal government. 。I didn't expect the academy to be able to pull this off. 。Two pieces of titanium crystal were quickly placed on Tang Wulin and He Xinyu's forging platforms. 。Generally, a piece of rare metal refers to one foot in diameter, but the titanium crystals before them this time were two irregular pieces of metal, only roughly equal in size. 。Titanium crystal looks like a piece of quartz, but inside there are many fine and messy gold threads. 。One more difficulty in refining it is that, while keeping the volume as small as possible, using forging to organize the gold wires inside. The better the overall quality of the gold wire, the higher the quality of the titanium crystal. 。It is said that an ancestor of the Tang Sect back then once used the golden wire inside titanium crystals to make a weapon, which was extremely powerful. 。When Tang Wulin was still in the East Sea City, he had also refined titanium crystals several times. Those were all found for him by Mu Chen, but the refined titanium crystals couldn't be given to him. This stuff was also extremely scarce for the blacksmiths' association. 。It's just as well that he had that experience back then, because when Tang Wulin saw the titanium alloy in front of him, he was able to stay calm. 。Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng skillfully put the titanium crystal in front of them into the forging platform for smelting. 。The smelting time of different metals is also different. 。The anvils before them were state-of-the-art, with adjustable temperature and heating times. 。Every blacksmith has different forging habits, and the time it takes to heat metal also varies slightly. 。This involves different forging methods of transmission. 。Shen Yi said, "When the incineration is finished, start the timer." 。Both Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng fell silent. The two of them closed their eyes in unison, adjusting their states. 。The few titled Douluo on the podium couldn't help but nod secretly. 。The academy has spared no effort in cultivating blacksmiths over the years. 。Consequently, even excellent blacksmiths received bonus points on their entrance exams. 。Because this aspect is relatively weak for the Shrek Academy, or rather, top-tier blacksmiths are lacking in any major power. 。This is also the reason why the Blazing Dragon Douluo Feng Wu personally controls the Blacksmith Association and promotes its vigorous development. 。The goal of Shrek Academy is to cultivate a master artisan. 。Even among the titled Douluos, only a handful possess the Four-Word Fighting Armor. This is due to the scarcity of Heavenly Forging Metal. 。Today, there's only one divine blacksmith in the forging world, and even a divine blacksmith can't always complete Heavenly Forging. 。As the head of the Blacksmith's Guild, Zhenhua may have given Shrek Academy a lot of face, but his blacksmithing abilities are limited. Besides Shrek Academy, many powerful forces also sought him out, leaving him incredibly busy. 。It can only meet a very small portion of needs. 。As for this, all sides are also helpless. 。Who made Master Smiths so rare

Feng Wuhu has been promoted to a Saint Smith for many years, but the distance to a Divine Smith himself knows, is still far away, even unattainable. 。He started too late. Although his cultivation base improved quickly in the early stages, after reaching the Soul Forging stage, the path of forging became more complicated than just cultivation level. 。This is also why he values Tang Wulin so much. In his eyes, Tang Wulin is very hopeful to complete the Heavenly Forging in the future and become the new generation of Godsmiths. 。Although the number of blacksmiths is relatively small, because Shrek Academy emphasizes the recruitment of blacksmiths, there are about twenty blacksmiths in both grades. 。Everyone is waiting, awaiting the start of their forging. 。Just then, Tang Wulin suddenly spread his arms, and two forging hammers appeared simultaneously in his hands. 。It was his spirit-forged, silver hammer. 。Right hand hammer lightly tapped the button on the forging anvil, which also meant his titanium crystal smelting was complete. 。Before him, the forge stood cracked open in the center. Molten titanium crystals, burning orange-red, slowly rose from within. 。He Xiaopeng across from him could certainly feel the movement on his side, his ears twitched, and his eyebrows rose slightly. 。

Among the blacksmiths in the audience, many exclaimed, "How fast is that" Though there was a protective barrier on stage, Tang Wulin and He Xiaopeng couldn't hear the sounds from below. However, the surprise on the faces of these blacksmiths was already evident.

Especially a few blacksmiths from the first grade, including Yang Nianxia, all had expressions of astonishment and disbelief on their faces. 。Titanium's raw material is too brittle, requiring a much longer smelting time compared to ordinary rare metals. Only by making it more pliable can the forging difficulty be reduced, and it becomes easier to work with. 。However, Tang Wulin's forging time was too short. It was basically no different from forging other rare metals. Could it be that he didn't understand titanium crystals If so, then things would be troublesome. 。Forging titanium crystals, the most feared thing is cracking. 。Once it fractures, the quality of the entire metal piece will be compromised, which is why it is sent up in its ore state to prevent damage during cutting. 。 Could it be that the squad leader hasn't forged this kind of metal before Titanium crystals are truly too rare. 。For the situation downstairs, Tang Wulin had no feeling whatsoever. In his eyes, there was only this unique and rare metal that was slowly rising in front of him. 。The anvil closed, and the titanium crystal appeared before him. 。Tang Wulin didn't hesitate at all. His left hand, with the Spirit Forge's Silver Hammer already swung out. 。He jumped right into it. And then, Tang Wulin showed everyone his forging skills. 。The seemingly heavy ling forging silver hammer landed on the titanium crystal, producing three clear and crisp sounds. 。Sound insulation is one-sided, meaning people downstairs can hear the sounds coming from the stage. 。The heavy forging hammer fell upon the titanium crystal, producing three sharp "ding" sounds. 。That sound, like a thin needle falling on metal, and then emitting 。Crisp and pleasant to the ear, never harsh or heavy. 。It's kind of like percussion music. 。It's very light forging. 。Then, Tang Wulin's right fist followed up relentlessly. 。

Three crisp sounds, "ding, ding, ding."

The double hammers are light, like a fine needle lightly pricking the forging hammer. Every time it falls, it gives people an indescribable feeling of lightness.
