Chapter 1401 Super Hard

At this moment, Ryan on the side said: "Hey, how about taking a piece and doing an experiment first?" His eyes fell on the top piece of black steel and reached out to take it.

However, as soon as the black steel fell into Ryan's hands, he immediately felt something strange.

"This piece is quite heavy," he muttered, examining the piece of black steel more closely.

"Its weight far exceeds what its size would suggest..." Ryan continued to mutter to himself, becoming more and more curious about the properties of this piece of black steel.

"It's really a rare item!" he finally exclaimed, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

Before he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in Ryan's hand. It turned out that he activated his fruit ability and wrapped the black steel in a layer of golden light.

As the power of the fruit was activated, the black steel block began to undergo miraculous changes.

It seemed to be decomposed by an invisible force, gradually turning into countless tiny particles, and then as if attracted by a magnet, they gathered towards Ryan's palm.

In the blink of an eye, the originally hard block of black steel completely disappeared in Ryan's hand.

"How is it? Is it worth your long wait?" Cloe raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a confident smile. There was a hint of expectation in his voice, and he seemed to be very satisfied with his selection.

Ryan did not respond to Clo's question immediately. His attention was on sensing the characteristics of black steel.

Time passed minute by minute, and Ryan remained silent. After more than ten minutes, he finally nodded slowly, and his expression became serious.

"Good stuff, more useful than the gold crystal I made." Ryan's voice was low and firm, and he obviously had a very high opinion of black steel.

He then explained in detail: "Both the hardness and wear resistance of the material are top-notch. The quality of this material is beyond imagination. It is great for making weapons."

After saying that, Ryan spread out his palms, and saw those metal particles floating slowly above his palms as if they had life.

They seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding with each other, and soon merged together again, returning to their original shape as steel blocks.

"Come and beat it into a steel billet! I can't wait to try out its power." Ryan said to Vegapunk excitedly, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes.

Vegapunk nodded and motioned for Ryan to bring the steel over.

Ryan picked up the steel, then walked to the location designated by Vegapunk, placed the steel on the workbench, and pressed the switch of the gravity hammer.

"Boom~"

Flames gushed out, instantly engulfing the steel block.

After more than ten minutes, the steel block turned red and the flame stopped.

With a "buzz" sound, the gravity hammer started to work, making a low humming sound, like a giant beast being awakened.

"Dang! Dang!" The gravity hammer smashed into the steel with astonishing force, and each impact was accompanied by a loud noise and dazzling sparks.

Sparks flew everywhere, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, lighting up the entire studio.

Vegapunk and Ryan stood aside, staring at the gravity hammer and steel with serious faces.

There was no smile on their faces, only concentration and tension.

However, at the moment when they were looking forward to seeing the steel being hammered into billets, their expressions suddenly changed.

The original anticipation and excitement were instantly replaced by astonishment. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were slightly open, as if they couldn't believe what was happening before their eyes.

"Can't hit?!"
