#910 - The crystal of the sun, 'Sun Gold'

A piece of metal, wrapped up and only the size of Quan Yi's palm, released extreme high temperatures akin to the sun's core upon being unbound.

If Quan Yi weren't here, and they weren't protected by the Golden Azure Furnace, Huo Wu wouldn't even be able to approach this place due to the heat alone.

Quan Yi's gaze focused on the fire, piercing through the external dazzling light, he saw a reddish-golden, hard metal, pushing aside the surrounding air, emitting terrifying impact force, attempting to escape from his grasp.

His iron-like wrist seemed somewhat strained in the face of this mischievous metal; even with bulging veins, the subtle tremors couldn't be stopped.

"What violent power, this is what it means to withstand the high temperature of the solar core, absorb a large amount of the sun's essence, and condense into a precious metal."

Quan Yi exerted all his strength, trying to suppress this miniature sun, but found it quite strenuous.

However, even so, the smile on his lips never disappeared, but instead grew even more intense.

Looking at the pure metal, as dazzling as the sun, he had never seen such a flawless metal.

With his discerning eye, he couldn't find even a trace of impurity in this metal.

From the moment it was mined and born into the world, this metal had already reached the realm of 'flawless'.

This was a phenomenon that Quan Yi had never seen in other metals.

However, this was not surprising; in the core of the sun, all impurities would be reduced to ashes, leaving behind only the essence of the essence, the core of the core.

This had already exceeded the normal category of metal concepts; it was more like an energy solid condensed from the sun's core energy.

But this didn't mean it wasn't strong.

On the contrary, Quan Yi was seeing for the first time a metal whose core he couldn't completely penetrate and explore with his vibration perception.

With just the pressure from his hand, he couldn't completely transmit the vibration to the extremely dense metal core; he even felt resistance from the metal itself.

Quan Yi had never seen such an unruly metal before.

In terms of grade, although this piece of metal was only palm-sized, it was no less than the fused and forged alloy that had undergone the Nine Colors of the Ten Elements Chaos Ultimate Tribulation.

Without any traces of forging, it purely relied on transcendent pressure and energy infusion to forcibly elevate it into a god-level metal.

To be honest, holding the metal, he felt a sense of helplessness.

This made Quan Yi feel somewhat frustrated, while also igniting his passion as a blacksmith.

"Sun Metal, let's call this metal by this name."

For this metal without any records, Quan Yi arbitrarily chose a name that was easy to remember.

"Such excellent material, how can I maximize its potential?"

Seeing such a flawless metal, Quan Yi's creative desire and imagination were strongly stimulated.

This metal, which didn't need to be refined, wasn't perfect.

Quan Yi used his Dragon Eyes to scan the Sun Metal; compared to the real solar core, the sun's nucleus, this Sun Metal, although dazzling, couldn't launch an effective resistance.

Although there were no impurities, the arrangement of metal elements and energy elements was too chaotic and disorderly, failing to maximize the power of the metal.

Unable to tolerate this, Quan Yi immediately summoned the golden hammer formed by his martial soul with his left hand, put on gauntlets with his right hand, and directly struck the Sun Metal in the palm of his right hand with the golden hammer.

"Clang!"

"Ugh!"

Accompanied by a strong metallic impact sound, a full-strength hammer blow landed on the Sun Metal, but neither the hammer nor the metal showed any deformation.

And precisely because of this, the force of the rebound between them directly shocked Quan Yi's right hand, which was acting as support, to the point of numbness, almost causing him to drop the Sun Metal.

Covered by the Dragon King Armor, the bones of his right hand were distinct, but Quan Yi tried his best to maintain stability.

He didn't try to soften the Sun Metal, because, in terms of pure temperature, Quan Yi's Profound Yang True Fire could only approach the high temperature of the Sun Metal, let alone reach its melting point.

Therefore, the only method he could take was pure physical hammering.

This kind of forging method had never been tried even when hitting raw iron sandbags.

Each time before training, he would either first heat the iron block with a furnace fire, or use fire-attribute soul power to heat it from the inside.

Forging through pure metal collisions was already countless times more difficult than normal forging, let alone when the object was the incomparably hard Sun Metal.

But the Sun Metal, which didn't need to be refined, only needed to adjust the internal arrangement of the metal, which invisibly reduced the difficulty of pure physical forging.

"Hoo, a full-strength hammer blow can only change this little."

Quan Yi's pupil light once again penetrated the metal, prepared to ravage his right hand; the golden hammer, hammered with all his strength, was far from achieving the effect Quan Yi had expected.

According to his rough calculations, the difficulty of transforming the structure increased the further inward he went.

In this way, to achieve the effect he envisioned, he would have to strike at least one hundred thousand times or more.

"Haha, might as well use you to digest this harvest."

Quan Yi prepared for a long-term battle; if swinging a full-strength hammer required one second, then that would be one hundred thousand seconds, and one hundred thousand seconds converted into days was only about one day.

Unable to reduce the vibration, the right hand, which had to endure it, stopped trembling during the short observation time.

He raised his right arm, found that he could still withstand it, and unhesitatingly raised his left arm and heavily struck the Sun Metal.

Quan Yi, with his steel teeth clenched and his face slightly distorted, even though he endured the hammer blow under his own great force, his gaze didn't move from the Sun Metal at all.

Rapid and rough breathing sounded, and after a short one-second adjustment time, Quan Yi prepared for the second hammer blow.

His right hand also forcibly stopped trembling in this process.

"It seems that the recovery speed of the right hand can't keep up with the rhythm of the hammering."

Knowing that he couldn't last until the end in this state, Quan Yi still hardened his heart and swung the hammer.

This was not only a hammer forging of the Sun Metal, but it was also a hammer forging of Quan Yi himself.

The act of using his body as a platform, unlike precise vibration body tempering, was more of a chaotic destruction.

However, although this method would cause more damage to the body, as long as the recovery ability could keep up, repeated destruction and recovery would instead accelerate the improvement of physical fitness.

A training method that simultaneously improves physical fitness and hammering skills; this was not a bad alternative body tempering method.

In the gloomy Shadow Space, the endless power of darkness was undergoing a large-scale tremor under the pure physical vibration.

And the source of this tremor was a heavy golden furnace.

As the furnace wall continued to tremble violently, the internal sunlight became more and more dazzling.

The dazzling light of the sun gradually covered the color of the golden furnace, dispelling a large area of darkness.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine...

Ten thousand hammer blows!"

The time it took for his right hand to stop trembling became increasingly slow; in one day, he barely completed one-tenth of the target.
