Twin Soul Bodies (3)
Qiao Tian nodded slowly." Do you know the function of the heart? The muscles that people used the most were the calves. The calves were the source of all strength. If you use the strength of your calves well, your strength will increase greatly.”
As he spoke, Qiao Tian walked to the bellows and sat down. He pulled out something made of pig iron from under the bellows. It was two objects that looked like a pedal. Qiao Tian connected it to the bellows and pulled the bellows with both hands." In casting, the function of the bellows is also very important. When the metal is fully burned, it can be forged better because it will make it more resilient. Any piece of metal, no matter how many impurities it had, had a soul. Once the temperature was not high enough and the force was too great during forging, it would shatter. Then, even if it was melted and reforged, the metal would still be useless. Therefore, when you hit the iron block with all your strength, you must maintain its temperature. Pulling the bellows was also using the strength of the calf. Not only could it reduce the consumption of strength as much as possible, but it could also maximize the effect of the bellows.”
His feet stepped on the two footboards, and he suddenly exerted strength. He used his legs to 'point' and his entire body quickly bounced back. His arms opened the handles of the bellows under the natural drive, and his legs turned from straight to bent, and then he returned the handles. In between, the bellows operated at full force. Qiao Tian's movements did not seem fast, but each time he moved, the bellows 'ability was unleashed to the extreme. Under the guidance of his calf muscles, his body and the bellows formed a special rhythm. Flames suddenly rose from the furnace, and the iron block was instantly burned red.
"You pull the bellows, just like what I did just now.”Qiao Tian gave his seat to Qiao Zidan.
With the experience of swinging the hammer and careful observation, Qiao Zidan sat in Qiao Tian's previous position and quickly grasped the method of pulling the bellows. Although it was still a little rusty, under his careful attention, every time he exerted force, he started from his calf. As Qiao Tian had said, not only did he save a lot of energy, but the effect was also much better than before.
Qiao Tian held Qiao Zidan's forging hammer and said indifferently,"Casting with full force can allow one's strength to be fully unleashed, but at the same time, the rebound force will also place a great burden on the body. If there is no suitable method to guide it, not only will it be easy to injure oneself, but it will also cause a portion of the power to be lost, making it unable to be used on the metal. You have to watch my next move carefully. This will be the key to whether you can hammer this piece of pig iron to the size of a fist in a short time.”
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Tian's eyes became focused. As Qiao Zidan pulled on the bellows, the entire piece of iron was already burning red. The blazing flames rose, causing the room to become abnormally hot.
Qiao Tian moved. His movements didn't seem to be any different from before. With his legs wrapped around his waist. With a belt on his back and a shoulder strap on his arm, the hammer hit the iron block with a thud.
When the hammer bounced up due to the reaction force. Qiao Tian suddenly turned around, still using his calves. He had already swung the hammer that had bounced back. He waved it in the air. It was accompanied by a strong wind. With another loud bang, it landed on the iron block again. Not only was this attack extremely fast, but it also seemed to be stronger than the first attack.
The hammer bounced up high, and Qiao Tiandi's movements seemed to have reached a perfect fit with the hammer's bounce. It was neither too early nor too late. Just as the hammer was about to reach its highest point, his body spun the hammer once. It smashed down again.
Qiao Zidan's eyes lit up. This was clearly a method of borrowing strength, using the rebound force produced by the collision of the hammer and metal to transform into the strength of her next strike. His movements were perfect and coordinated. It avoided the damage from the rebound to the greatest extent, and instead turned this force into a continuous attack. From the second attack onwards, the power of each attack exceeded Qiao Tiandi's full strength. However, it was still under his control.
Qiao Tiandi moved faster and faster. The forging hammer struck the iron block like a storm, and the iron block was constantly deformed by the hammer. What was surprising was that…Qiao Tian's position was extremely accurate. Every time the iron block was struck to half its original thickness and began to flatten. The forging hammer in his hand would hit the edge of the iron block, causing it to flip. This way, the iron block was evenly enduring his hammering. It wasn't just being smashed into a disk.
In the blink of an eye. Thirty-six hammers had already been swung out. Qiao Tian's hands drove the forging hammer to spin three times in the air in succession before he could dissipate the force on the hammer and stand up. Her face was not red. He was not out of breath, as if the storm-like blow from before was not his doing.
The entire piece of iron had shrunk by a full circle between the thirty-six strikes. With the naked eye, it was already difficult to see the impurities within.
This was a true swordsmith skill. What a beautiful hammering technique.
"Do you understand?" Qiao Tian looked at Qiao Zidan, who was constantly pulling the bellows.
Qiao Zidan thought about it. "Borrowing strength, I understand the logic, but this doesn't seem simple."”
Qiao Tian said indifferently,"To reach my level." There was only one way. Practice makes perfect. At the same time. You have to remember that if you are striking a piece of ordinary metal, then…When it had the most impurities. It was also the easiest time for it to shatter. When you strike, you need to use less strength. When its impurities gradually decreased. Your strength can start to gradually increase, maintaining the effect of the knock, and controlling the strength. That's the key. You can practice slowly on your own. Don't blindly increase your strength and speed. Accuracy is equally important. At the very least, you have to know that you're going to strike. Where would he knock? What's the use of using strength?"
The forging hammer returned to Qiao Zidan's hand. Qiao Tian turned around and left.
His father didn't go back on his word, he really did teach him forging methods, moreover, from the things his father taught him, any profession had its own secrets. It was not that simple.
In the next half a month. Every day, Qiao Zidan practiced the forging method that Qiao Tian had taught him, but this forging method was harder to master than he had imagined. Even though he had a skill like the Vajra Hands.
Since it was an all-out attack. It was difficult to control the power he used. Using the rebound force to control the balance of the body and hammer to the desired position was extremely difficult. With every additional swing, the amount of control required would increase. The constant rotation of the body would not only make the brain dizzy. At the same time, the power of each hammer strike became even more difficult to control.
Fortunately, he had hammered that iron ore for a long time. There were already very few impurities in his body, so it was not so easy for him to shatter. Otherwise, under his uncontrollable forging hammer. It would have shattered long ago.
However, in the process of this practice, Qiao Zidan's application of spirit energy circulation, as well as the coordination of Silent Ghost Steps and Vajra Hands, were all imperceptibly improving.
From the first day when he could only swing the hammer twice and was about to deviate from his position, to today, half a month later. He could already swing the hammer seven times in a row and hit the iron block accurately. The improvement was very obvious. The iron block became smaller and smaller under his full-strength hammering, and there were results every day.
Of course. This was also closely related to that method of exerting strength with the calf. With this method of exerting strength, it greatly reduced the consumption of spirit qi. This allowed Qiao Zidan to have more time to pull the bellows and forge.
Back then, her father had swung thirty six hammers, and it seemed like he still had some energy left, but she only had seven. She didn't know when she would be able to reach her father's level. He was especially motivated to practice.
These days. He seemed to have forgotten about astral souls.
Three months passed very quickly. When Qiao Zidan could continue to swing her hammer and launch thirteen strikes. Qiao Tian began to teach him how to forge tools. Qiao Tiandi's teaching method was very direct. He just had to do it himself. Then, he asked Qiao Zidan to do it again. As long as he saw that he was getting a little familiar with it, he would let him practice on his own without much verbal guidance. Only at the critical moment. They would only say a few words.
It was precisely because of this that Qiao Zidan remembered every single time Qiao Tian gave him pointers.
