Chapter 976 - Grandmaster Wang Teng Is Unconventional! (3)

The addition of the four hammers increased the speed greatly.

The six hammers wielded down on the metal violently. They moved so quickly that one could only see their lingering shadows.

There were six hammers, yet they moved in an orderly fashion. After one was done, the next would move down immediately. Despite there being no gap between them, they didn’t hit one another.

There was a specific rhythm to the six hammers like they were synchronized cogs of a machine. They weren’t hammering at random.

This was the hard part of smithery. If you just hammered randomly, the final product would be scrap metal. It would be useless.

A real smithery occurred when you grasped the characteristics of the metal ore and merged them together during the hammering process. At the same time, you must ensure that these characteristics were released to their greatest potential.

The four grandmasters couldn’t blink. They were dumbfounded. They lost their voices as they stared at Wang Teng’s unconventional hammering method.

They had neither seen nor heard of such a method before. They felt that their past smithery experience was just child’s play. There was nothing to compare.

The grandmasters even started to suspect their abilities.

Wang Teng didn’t know what they were thinking. He was focused on controlling the six hammers to combine all the materials properly. Only the clanging of the hammers could be heard in the room.

Another two hours passed. Under Wang Teng’s hammering, the metal block started to shrink. After smelting all the ingredients, the metal block was three feet wide. Now, it was only the size of a palm. It had also been hammered into a rectangle.

This was the billet of the Lightning Slap!

It would become the Lightning Slap after runes were carved on it.

“Somehow, I feel that this billet’s shape is different from the Lightning Slap’s,” Grandmaster Mo De asked after some hesitation.

“Indeed, it’s different. It looks the same as Grandmaster Wang Teng’s golden brick.” Grandmaster Boke thought of something and smiled uncontrollably.

The other grandmasters were speechless.

He was obsessed!

Did he love bricks so much?

But the shape wasn’t important. It wouldn’t affect the final quality of the Lightning Slap, so they didn’t say much.

Naturally, Wang Teng couldn’t read their minds. He was satisfied when he saw the shape of the metal.

He was used to having a brick and would need some time to get used to a new shape. Thus, he chose not to change it.

He needed to carve the runes now. At first, this process required the help of runemasters, but Wang Teng was already a rune grandmaster. Naturally, he didn’t need any help.

The Emerald Glazed Flame appeared again and enveloped the palm-sized Lightning Slap billet. But this time, the flame didn’t melt it. It just nourished the metal one last time.

At the same time, Wang Teng was using his spiritual power to carve runes on the surface of the brick.

His spiritual power silently slid over the surface, and runes appeared. They formed mystical patterns on the surface of the brick. Halfway through, when he was carving a lightning-element rune, he had a sudden idea.

Since this was a lightning-element weapon, what would happen if he added a small amount of calamity lightning?

Wang Teng’s gaze shimmered. Soon, he made his decision.

A string of calamity lightning surged out of his forehead. He instilled it into the rune he was carving on the billet.

This was just a last-minute thought, but he didn’t mind giving it a try. If it failed, he could start over. But if he succeeded, there might be surprises. After all, calamity lightning was anything but ordinary.

Unexpectedly, the process was exceptionally smooth. No accidents happened, and the calamity lightning was instilled into the billet successfully.

The four grandmasters didn’t notice anything amiss. They thought that Wang Teng was carving the runes based on the instructions.

Time gradually passed. Approximately half an hour later, Wang Teng finally completed his carvings.

Suddenly, a glaring purple and golden light glowed on the surface of the billet.

The grandmasters sat up straight.

Success!

Just as this thought appeared in their hearts, the Forces around them started to get restless. A purple-golden beam of light shot into the sky, forming a light pillar.

Boom!

The Lightning Slap soared into the sky too and smashed the roof of the alliance ruthlessly, leaving behind a big hole.

Boom!

Dark clouds started gathering above the alliance. Thunder roared and lightning clapped.
