Chapter 747 Four Pillars: Greater Efficiency

At those words, Arcaelus went ahead and grabbed a forging hammer from the tool rack as he was about to begin forging.

Though, just as he was perusing through the items contained within the material cache, a question from Valyr broke his concentration.

"By forging items, you mean forging them from scratch, right?" asked the young man.

In response, Arcaelus stared at Valyr with a slightly odd expression for a bit before nodding.

"I'm pretty sure something like that should have been self-explanatory, but yes."

Valyr wryly smiled at that. "Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going against the spirit of the fight."

"Speaking of which, upgrading any items I've previously forged doesn't count either, right?"

"They do not." Arcaelus shook his head, only to remain silent as gears turned in his mind.This content has its origins in n0v£lbin★

After a while, he spoke once more, his words bringing the young man a hint of delight.

"However, I would consider it if you show me the forged item beforehand and you upgrade its rarity by one grade."

"To clarify, plus modifiers do not count."

With that, Valyr nodded in agreement, faintly grinning as he began to think about the items he would be forging.

On the other hand, Arcaelus watched the young man for a bit more before returning his attention to the material cache.

"I guess he isn't confident enough that he'd be able to forge more items than me once the five days are up," muttered the man to himself.

Picking up a few items from the material cache, Arcaelus then set the furnace ablaze as he began to chuck items into it.

"Though, if he does manage to upgrade more items than I forge within five days..."

"Then he's undoubtedly proven he's achieved consistency."

Adding on the fact that he had a couple titles that reduced his forging time, it could be said that he might be one of the fastest blacksmiths on Veldanyr.

However, considering that Arcaelus had brought up such a challenge in the first place, Valyr had no doubt that the man was someone who could possibly forge items faster than him.

With that, he decided to make use of a forging skill he had not even used once in his current life, reading through its description to familiarize himself with it once more.

"Huh. I could conjure five arms now," murmured the young man, the gears in his mind turning as he pondered over how he would go through the forging process with five additional arms.

Fortunately, having used a similar skill to his current one in his past life, Valyr slowly formulated a plan in his mind.

"Thank the heavens that the cost for this skill greatly decreased," said the young man to himself, circulating mana throughout his body.

Whoosh!

Sometime later, he then pushed the mana he was circulating towards one of his shoulder blades, causing an arm similar to his to appear.

Slowly getting over the odd sensation of having to control another appendage with his mind, Valyr reminded himself of the wings he would conjure before proceeding to infuse more mana into the skill.

However, rather than infuse more mana into other parts of the body, he instead infused it to two spots detached from his body.

Swoosh!

Within seconds, four translucent arms appeared out of thin air, with a pair appearing on both of Valyr's sides.

Though this caused the odd sensation Valyr felt earlier to somewhat intensify, a faint smile appeared on his face as he thought about how the current setup looked like he now had three blacksmiths working together.

Sparing a glance at Arcaelus, who seemed to be engrossed in forging his own items, Valyr soon willed two pairs of his arms to grab a forging hammer each from the tool rack.

After that, he brought out the anvil from his spatial bracelet to expand their workspace, only to take out a few items from the furnace.

"Alright then."

"Let us begin."
