Chapter 29 Akash {The Thousand Refine Heavy Silver}

Two hours of patient forging passed. The metal suddenly erupted, but Akash continued his relentless forging. With each powerful strike, the Heavy Silver gave off sparks as it began to deform.

Whenever his arms began to ache, another wave of heat would circulate out from his vertebrate. It dissolved all of his aches the moment it flowed into the hundred bones of his four limbs. Akash also automatically transferred soul power into his arms in order to maintain his strength.

Gradually, the chunk of Heavy Silver grew smaller and smaller as it became progressively more pure.

It must be said that Heavy Silver's strength was that it already had very high and incredibly dense characteristics. If one wanted to purify and shrink it, it would be exceedingly difficult, especially if one wanted to avoid destroying its veins.

At this time Akash notice that his Heavy Silver grew much smaller then before he moved his right hand as he pushed on the hand changed the coal in the fire at a fast speed he pushed the petals on the ground and then he made a small frown.

The light of the forging flames had long since illuminated the blacksmiths within the room, turning them into a deep red. Akash's clothes were soaked in sweat. Even Alan, who was watching from the sidelines, had his forehead covered with sweat.

Thousand Refining. This was the feeling of the Thousand Refining.

As a Grand Master Blacksmith, Alan had an outstandingly acute perception and knew that Akash and the Heavy Silver had come to an agreement.

This was a type of indescribable feeling that one could only understand after completing the Thousand Refinements.

Alan had originally wanted Akash to just gain an understanding of Heavy Silver, and then he could finish his first Thousand Refinements any time before he went off to attend the intermediate academy. He absolutely didn't expect that Akash would be able to begin his Thousand Refinements the very first day he touched the Heavy Silver. Moreover, he had already entered this special state.

This could be attributed to not just Akash's strength, but also his perception! A child like this was definitely destined to become a great master!

He saw this boy going further in life than what he could ever have done he smiled while he watched Akask. His arms gripped on the handle of the hammers. 

Unaware of what was happening, Maverick stood outside of the forging room's doorway and waited. His son hadn't returned after so long, so he had come looking for him, just in time to see his son dripping with sweat.

That fantastic tempo was like a symphony of hammering played under the focused gaze of his son.

This was the first time he had seen his son forging. Clearly, this was a higher level of forging than he had expected! Akash was only nine years old too! In these three short years, he had unexpectedly already reached such a level in forging. Maverick had met his fair share of master blacksmiths before, and now he could discern the aura of a master blacksmith coming from Akash!

Both Alan and Maverick didn't say a single word. Akash raised his right hand as he hit the hammer down on the Heavy Silver metal.

Maverick didn't dare disturb him. Akash was clearly focused on his forging and gave it his heart and soul. Furthermore, Alan was still observing from the side, clearly indicating that Akash was making a breakthrough in his forging right now.

Four and a half hours later, Akash's expression had turned pale. The golden pattern on Akash's body had even disappeared long before Maverick's arrival.

The swollen ache that he felt in his first year of forging emerged once more at this time. His arms began feeling heavier and heavier. Evidently, he was overdrafting his strength, but still he didn't stop. He persistently continued using the majority of his strength, each strike having an equal amount of power as the one before. His body was being supported through sheer willpower as he continued on forging.

'Almost done. I'm almost done. I can't stop now. Not now. I'll have wastes all of my efforts if I stop now.'

Alan subconsciously clenched his fists as he watched worriedly. In fact, he was even more anxious than Akash!

If this child was able to succeed on his first attempt at the Thousand Refinements, then without a doubt, he would gain a lot of confidence. With that confidence, it would greatly benefit in any attempts at the Thousand Refine Heavy Silver he does in the future. His success rate would be much higher than other blacksmiths!

However, would he be able to hold on until the end? It has been nearly five hours now. Even for Alan, he would have to spare no effort and use his soul power in order to continuously forge for five hours straight.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang… The Thousand Refined Tunsen Hammers continued hammering the metal as it baked in the fires of the furnace and stayed a bright red. If the hammers hadn't been Thousand Refined already, then they likely would have broken down long ago.

Suddenly, that chunk of Heavy Silver trembled a bit under Akash's hammer blow and released a silver radiance, basking the whole room in a silver light.

Akash lifted that hammer and then heavily smashed downwards with both hammers at once. In response, the silver light grew even more wild.

Fast as lightning, Alan reached Akash's side. A knife had suddenly appeared in his hands as his quickly slashed the tired boy's wrist.

Once the blood sprinkled out, it landed on top of the twinkling Heavy Silver.

Maverick cried out in alarm but in the next moment, Alan already covered up the wound on Akash's wrist. He was intensely staring at the twinkling chunk of Heavy Silver as he simultaneously closed the furnace.

The blood drops on the Heavy Silver made a series of 'chi chi' sounds as they evaporated into smoke. The fires were extinguished, revealing the metal.

Each metal has a different feeling and he could sense his disciple Thousand Refinements Harmony Sound will be extremely different form anyone else he touched the child who was sleeping his body was tired but he muttered.

"I can't give up, make teacher, ma, and dad proud."

Alan chuckled and hugged Akash the two hammers in his hands were already on the ground since Akash didn't have the strength to hold.

Teacher is super proud of you little disciple.

When Alan had Akash try the Thousand Refinements Harmony Sound with this chunk of Heavy Silver, he had never expected Akash to actually succeed. Rather, he wanted to use this sturdy metal to temper Akash and let him gain a feeling for the Thousand Refining.

However, five hours later, a whole five hours, he had succeeded!

That Heavy Silver had been Thousand Refined!
