Chapter Fifty: The Casting Begins
The sounds of "Dong, Dong, Hee" echoed in the casting room where Du Fei was located. Only to see Du Fei's upper body exposed, his two arms were extremely robust, and the lines on his muscles stood out under the ancient copper-colored background, making him look exceptionally strong and powerful. At this moment, his two thick arms grasped a black hammer and swung it continuously towards the ore on the casting platform.
It had been half a year since Du Fei broke through to the nuclear realm. During this time, he continued to practice diligently, with every day's schedule filled with nothing but practice. Previously, Du Fei had studied the Thousand Hammers Hundred Refinements and the Demon-Subduing Golden Transformation, which had cost him a lot of effort. Now, however, his hard work had paid off, as he had made significant progress in both techniques.
After enduring that inhuman self-torture, Du Fei's physique had become much more robust compared to before, with a strong yet lean body type. His overall strength had also increased significantly. With the combination of these two factors, Du Fei's casting foundation skills had improved dramatically. However, this was not all he had learned in the past half year.
Du Fei's array techniques and other martial arts had also shown significant improvement. He could now freely set up low-level heavenly arrays, and with some effort, he could successfully set up mid-level heavenly arrays as well. Since entering the nuclear realm, Du Fei's supply of yuan energy had become much more abundant, making his use of martial arts techniques much smoother.
Du Fei had also begun to practice some more advanced martial arts techniques.
Du Fei has officially entered the threshold of fifteen years old, and in these years under such harsh conditions, Du Fei now also appears to have a mature taste. He has grown taller by about 1.8 meters, with a robust physique and a bronze-colored skin formed after years of exposure to sunlight, and the tenacity that cannot be concealed on his face after years of tempering in hardship, making him look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man.
"Ah" Du Fei, who was now drenched in sweat, bent down to catch his breath, gently placing the Overlord's Hammer on the ground. He occasionally furrowed his brow, looking extremely exhausted as he said: "Damn it, I'm so tired, but it's much better than before, not bad."
At this time, the blank Heavenly Book on the casting platform emitted a white light. Du Fei frowned and panted heavily as he looked at the blank Heavenly Book: "Stop comforting yourself here, you are still far from meeting my basic expectations."
Du Fei was still catching his breath at this time, squinting his eyes and nodding his head in response to the wordless heavenly book.
"But you can already swing the Baxian hammer over a hundred times, it seems that you have put in effort to practice the Fumo Golden Fist." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Yes, if I hadn't practiced the Demon Subduing Golden Vajra Transformation beforehand, I might not have achieved this effect. But I really want to ask who invented such a perverted martial skill." Du Fei's breathing became smoother and his speech more fluent at this time.
"It wasn't even invented by your ancestors from the Jin family, you're just previewing it now and have only just begun to learn, yet you already feel tired. I wonder what will happen to you in the future?" wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.
"Who's complaining, I just want to know when I can really practice the Demon-Subduing Golden Vajra Transformation. By the way, why do I feel like my absorption of yuan qi has sped up a lot now?" Du Fei shook his head at this time.
"Haha, kiddo, do you feel like you're getting the hang of using the Devouring Heaven Hammer after practicing the Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation?" Du Fei nodded in agreement, continuing to watch the changing text on the Wordless Heavenly Book: "This Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation is just a way to boost your entire body's defense to a diamond-like hardness and increase your strength several times over in an instant. Although you haven't actually used the Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation, your previous practice has already brought about a qualitative change in your physical constitution. Of course, using that heavy Devouring Heaven Hammer is much easier now." It's precisely because of this cultivation method that the frequency of blood flow activity in your body has increased, promoting the growth of your tendons and veins. Your tendons and veins have expanded, which means your yuanqi absorption speed has accelerated as well." Du Fei saw this and was slightly taken aback, asking: "Oh, so that's how it works?"
"Right, have you discovered it yet? Since you pre-learned the Demon-subduing Golden Vajra Transformation, your practice of the Heavenly Origin Incantation's Returning to the Origin segment has also accelerated. You're more proficient with this Returning to the Origin segment now?"
"Huh? Really? I didn't feel it, let me think carefully... I don't think so." Du Fei stroked his chin and gazed at the ceiling: "Could it be that my usual practice has been too focused, so I didn't even realize my skills had improved?"
"I'm really impressed with you, that's just how it is. I don't even know what you did in your past life, but all these good things are happening to you. Although practicing the Demon-Subduing Golden Vajra was quite arduous, it also stimulated your progress in cultivating the Heavenly Yuan Technique."
"Is that so, maybe I just didn't notice it in my daily life. But even the absorption speed of Tianyuan Jue shouldn't be faster than the consumption speed of Qian Zhu Bai Lian, right?" Du Fei furrowed his brow as he looked at the wordless heavenly book.
"Heh, it's not a problem with the Tianyuan Manual, but rather a question of how well you've cultivated it, little one. Once you've cultivated the Tianyuan Manual to the realm of Great Completion, you'll know just how powerful it is." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Really? How formidable?" Du Fei tilted his head and stuck it close to the wordless heavenly book, smiling ingratiatingly.
"You've come too late, sorry, nothing can be done. Now use the Tianyuan Jue's Return to Origin segment to absorb yuanqi, and after you've absorbed enough yuanqi, continue practicing." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Get lost!" Du Fei made a face and started sitting cross-legged on the ground, practicing the Tianyuan Jue technique to absorb the yuan energy. After about an hour or so, Du Fei slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath. At this moment, Du Fei looked refreshed and revitalized, with all signs of fatigue gone.
Du Fei stood up, his fists clenched tightly, and with a loud shout of "Hah!", he stretched out his arms. The muscles on his arms bulged thickly, giving off an extremely shocking and robust beauty. Du Fei's right hand picked up the nearby Heaven-Defying Hammer, as if it was nothing, and with both hands grasping the hammer handle, he danced again, smashing towards the pile of ore on the casting platform. When the burning head of the hammer hit the ore, sparks would occasionally fly out. After dozens of blows, the volume of the ore became smaller and smaller, and the impurities wrapped around the outside of the ore also decreased. Gradually, the ore revealed its most precious mineral quality, and a small piece of refined iron was born under Du Fei's dozens of fierce blows. After forging a piece of refined iron, Du Fei swung his hammer and threw the iron into a nearby water tank to cool it down. Without stopping his movements, Du Fei continued to fiercely smash another piece of ore on the casting platform...
Looking at the large amount of refined iron in the cauldron, Du Fei also wiped away the sweat beads on his forehead and smiled sincerely: "Today's results are not bad, take a look at some refined iron."
"It's okay, barely passable." The wordless heavenly book wrote.
"What's the point of barely making ends meet, there are over ten blocks here." Du Fei said as he picked up a piece of refined iron and weighed it in his hand: "I'm saying, every day you just know how to make me smash rocks, when will you finally teach me how to cast things? If I don't learn how to cast the iron ore left behind by my father, I'll end up smashing them all away."
"What's the hurry? When the time comes, I will naturally let you cast it. Now, take out all the refined iron you've smashed out before and see how much there is?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
Du Fei also quickly took out the refined iron he had smelted from the furnace, "Oh, there's over a hundred pieces. What's wrong, why did you ask me to take them out?" Du Fei asked suspiciously.
"Aren't you going to cast it? Now I've looked at the materials and they're almost enough, so go ahead and cast a piece of equipment that you want." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Are you going to use these refined irons?" Du Fei asked.
"Of course it's not just that, take out those demon cores you collected before and let me see." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
Du Fei didn't take long to bring out all his past spoils of war and lay them on the ground, saying: "That's all."
"You little brat, are you sick or something? I told you to only take out a few magic cores, why did you bring them all out?"
"I'll just take a look, can't I? What business is it of yours? Just see which ones are usable and I'll put the useless ones back." Du Fei said irritably.
"I'm too lazy to explain, just pick me up and put me on those crystal nuclei, I'll tell you which one is useful." The wordless heavenly book wrote. Du Fei didn't speak, picked up the wordless heavenly book and kept shaking it above the crystal nuclei, from time to time, the white light on the surface of the wordless heavenly book lit up, and there were words written: "Want it." Du Fei followed the prompt of the wordless heavenly book and soon found several mid-level demon beasts' magic nuclei, putting all the other crystal nuclei into the container ring.
"Now the magic core can't be found either, what do you think we should do?" Du Fei asked, looking at the few magic cores on the casting platform.
"You will know soon, first put all the refined iron into the smelting pool and smelt it, compressing your fire element to the most intense degree. After these refined irons are all burnt red, take them out and use the Thousand Hammer Hundred Refine method to smash them into one piece, do as I say for now." The Scripture of the Wordless Heaven wrote.
Du Fei didn't ask any more questions, and after reading the prompts on the wordless heavenly book, he began to release fierce flames towards all the refined iron in the smelting pool. The smelting pool occasionally emitted "crackling" sounds. Du Fei was now concentrating his mind and using the Crazy Dragon Flame Slash, watching as the refined iron slowly melted and turned red. Finally, when all the refined iron had turned bright red, Du Fei swung both hands violently, releasing a burst of energy that sent the red-hot refined iron flying onto the casting platform. At this point, the red-hot refined iron had all solidified together, but hadn't fully merged yet. A roughly thirty-centimeter-long iron pile appeared before Du Fei. Du Fei's arms transformed into a golden yellow color once again as he picked up the Overlord Hammer and began to fiercely pound the red-hot iron pile.
