Chapter 32 Akash {Special Effect Sound}

At first glance, the pair of Thousand Refine Heavy Silver Hammers didn't appear eye-catching. Their grey black exterior made them appear like ordinary forging hammers. Upon closer inspection however, one would discover dark, wave-like patterns covering its whole body. The dark wavy patterns on the handle even seemed to be nurturing an endless strength.

A spiral pattern twisted along the hammers' handles, down to the very end, where it stopped at a sharp point.

He had spent three whole days forging these hammers, little by little. During the forging process, he could feel in his blood that he was doing half the work for twice the results. Even though he worked with such efficiency, it had still taken him three whole days to complete the project.

"Let's hear the effect it makes."

"Um alright teacher I understand," Akash muttered while he held on his two knew hammers.

He had already conducted a series of measurements after forging them. The hammer in his left hand weighed 152 kilograms while the hammer in his right hand weighed 166 kilograms. Although these hammers appeared small, their weight could definitely be described by using one word: astonishing.

As Akash held the spiral patterned handles, he could sense the soul power in his body surging forth. In a flash, his soul power connected with the two hammers.

Akash took out a chunk of metal from the forging furnace that had been prepared beforehand. After a moment, his eyes focused and he gave the customary light tap on the chunk of metal with the hammer in his left hand.

Ding ding ding! Three brittle notes resounded.

Akash stood there foolishly while Alan's pupils contracted momentarily.

"Test it out again," Alan eagerly said.

Akash once again tapped the chunk of metal with the hammer in his left hand.

Ding ding ding. Three brittle notes resounded once again, despite the fact that he had only tapped the metal once.

"Use a heavy strike!" Alan said deeply.

Akash's right hand was already trailing an arc in the air as he heavily hammered the chunk of metal.

DANG DANG DANG! Three crisp bangs exploded out. Due to the stronger strike this time, Akash and Alan were clearly able to see that the moment the hammer made contact with the chunk of metal, two blurred images similar to the Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammer had appeared behind it. The two extra 'dang's had come from those phantom copies.

"This is…"

Akash stood there foolishly his eyes landed on his teacher he felt like he did something wrong.

"Stacked Hammers effect."

"Teacher, what is the 'Stacked Hammers'?"

Alan had to calm down he took few breaths before he stared at his student who looked so confused like someone was talking an alien language he didn't understand at all. Alan knew that Akash Thousand Refinements Harmony Sound Hammers will have some special effect sound but didn't think it would like this!

"The reason blacksmiths use the Blood Sacrifice for their first Thousand Refinements is because it usually has a good special effect. Thus, the Blood Sacrifice will connect the metal with your blood vessels and push the awakened special effect to its peak. As a result, almost all blacksmiths will have their first Thousand Refined work be a pair of forging hammers that they will use throughout their life."

Akash was a smart kid, so he was immediately able to understand that Alan had been prepared to gift that chunk of Heavy Silver to him the moment he had taken it out. Akash wasn't too clear about the exact value of Heavy Silver, but he understood that it was exceedingly valuable. Especially since it was such a large chunk of purified Heavy Silver.

"There are several amazing special effects that can be produced by the Thousand Refinements, but only an effect that is truly fitting for its user can be considered perfect. I've already explained to you before that the first mold of a Thousand Refined metal will be its peak. Any subsequent forgings to change its shape will inevitably cause damage to its internal structure, thus influencing its quality. As a result, it is exceedingly rare for the first forging of the metal to have a suitable effect."

"So what you are saying that my Thousand Refine metal is at it's peak and my Heavy Silver metal have a special effect as well which is perfect for my hammers," Akash asked while he touched his chin while he spoke to his teacher.

"I'm actually a bit envious. After the blood sacrifice, these hammers with such a peak special effect can only be used by you.

"The so called 'Stacked Hammers' is when a strike of the hammer causes resonates within itself, and creates a second, or maybe even a third strike. You have a Thrice Stacked Hammer, which is also the peak of the Stacked Hammers effect. Simply said, when you try to Hundred Refine metals in the future, your Thrice Stacked Hammers will cut down the necessary forging time by half! The two stacked hammers should have a power of 70% and 50% of the original strike. Once you've gained better control of the Stacked Hammers effect, you'll definitely be able to do half the work for twice the results, no matter what metal you're forging."

"Controlling the effect?"

"It's actually quiet hard to control my disciple.

However, your hammers are Blood Sacrificed and thus, its like the hammers are integrated into your body, making controlling much easier. The Blood Sacrifice creates a sort of fantastic bond between one's blood and the metal. Blood Sacrificed metals can only be forged by the one who offered their blood. As a result, Blood Sacrificed Thousand Refined items are the personal items of the blacksmith. Even if others sacrificed their blood instead, they would have to forge it themselves for the best product. Thus, the Blood Sacrifice isn't commonly used when forging. Blacksmiths rarely create their own Blood Sacrificed products."

Alan stepped forward and knelt down and held out two chuck of bracelet.
