Bicycle

Since they had the Steam Forging Hammer, their warehouse had been filled with various refined metals.

Iron Essence, Copper Essence, Silver Essence, Gold Essence, all piled up in the Forging Room's warehouse.

Originally, the extremely arduous work of refining various metals was no longer a difficult task for them.

Blacksmith Yuan's admiration for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique was influenced by his Dad, also known as Old Blacksmith Yuan.

The older generation of blacksmiths, no, those blacksmiths who had never seen a Steam Forging Hammer, most of them certainly had a longing for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

However, having seen the Steam Forging Hammer, the illusory longing for the Chaotic Cloak in Blacksmith Yuan's heart dissipated greatly.

Blacksmith Yuan smiled and shook his head, "I don't know how to answer your question. After all, the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique has long been lost. I can't compare something I've never seen."

Moreover, technique is technique; there is only suitability, not strength or weakness.

Of course, Blacksmith Yuan didn't say this out loud.

The young blacksmith said with some dissatisfaction, "Surely, the Young Master's invented Steam Forging Hammer is more powerful."

The other blacksmiths nodded in agreement one after another.

These blacksmiths admired Quan Yi more than Blacksmith Yuan, which Blacksmith Yuan was happy to see.

Because he himself greatly admired Quan Yi.

In his eyes, Quan Yi was the hope that could improve the status of blacksmiths.

Moreover, he had a feeling that this day would not be too far away.

Perhaps before he was buried, he would be able to see that scene.

Blacksmith Yuan stared at Quan Yi, who was dancing amidst the Fire Stars, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

In just over ten minutes, the small mountain, taller than Quan Yi, visibly shrank.

Countless impurities inside the iron block continuously fell off the iron mountain with the splashing Fire Stars.

Although Quan Yi rarely participated in metal forging, he had cultivated a blacksmith's eye for detail under the influence of his surroundings.

The impurities in the iron block could not escape his eyes.

The mountain-like shape was also gradually being forged into a square shape.

Now, it was even more convenient for Quan Yi to forge.

In a dozen minutes, Quan Yi had already thrown more than six hundred punches.

During this time, in order to maintain the temperature of the iron block, Quan Yi deliberately injected Fire-attribute energy into the interior of the iron block when striking.

With just one action, Quan Yi combined the force of the rebound, the weight of his own Gauntlets, and the Fire-attribute energy.

In this way, the simple iron forging action added even greater difficulty out of thin air.

However, a look of excitement flashed in Quan Yi's eyes.

He seemed to have found an action suitable for his training.

In the process of forging iron, his various abilities, like the iron block, were gradually merging together.

When swinging his fist, Quan Yi deliberately added the force-generating techniques of the Quan Family Fist Technique.

This iron block was like a sandbag that Quan Yi could strike at will, and Quan Yi felt endless joy in his heart.

Compared to practicing fist techniques against the air at the Academy, he felt that he could get better feedback now that he had a reference object.

The impurities in the iron block seemed like the exposed weaknesses of an enemy, and each successful strike on the impurities felt like a successful attack on the enemy's weak point.

This pleasure made Quan Yi somewhat unable to extricate himself.

Half an hour passed, and the volume of the man-high iron mountain was directly reduced by one-third.

In this process, Quan Yi could occasionally strike a perfect second blow.

However, when he wanted to strike a perfect third blow, his body could not coordinate to transmit the rebound force.

However, Quan Yi was not discouraged. New technologies, like the raw iron before him, needed to be tempered and refined to reveal their true brilliance.

And so, Quan Yi completely immersed himself in the process of forging iron.

For an entire afternoon, a thousand kilograms of iron ore was transformed into a complete piece of Iron Essence under Quan Yi's powerful hammering.

The volume was directly reduced to one-tenth of its original size.

The weight also changed from one thousand kilograms to six hundred kilograms.

A terrifying loss of forty percent was the main reason why the price of Iron Essence remained so high.

Once everything was finished, Blacksmith Yuan came over to carefully examine the Iron Essence forged by Quan Yi, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"The color of this Iron Essence seems a bit off."

As he spoke, Blacksmith Yuan gently stroked the Iron Essence in front of him with his palm.

A subtle heat current was mixed in with the coolness.

As a metal expert, Blacksmith Yuan had never seen such a peculiar Iron Essence.

"What's wrong? Are there impurities that haven't been completely removed?"

After all, this was Quan Yi's first time forging iron, so he asked with a slightly nervous tone.

Blacksmith Yuan kept touching the Iron Essence with his hand. After a serious probing, Blacksmith Yuan replied incredulously, "No, Young Master, your forging is very successful. This is a very perfect piece of Iron Essence."

Quan Yi was relieved. For the sake of ultimate purification, Quan Yi had deliberately extended the time by an hour, just to pursue perfection.

"However..."

At this moment, Blacksmith Yuan's voice drew Quan Yi's attention.

Blacksmith Yuan said hesitantly, "The Iron Essence forged by Young Master seems to be slightly different from ordinary Iron Essence."

Quan Yi also carefully examined the Iron Essence.

"Indeed, ordinary Iron Essence feels cold to the touch, but this piece has a trace of heat."

For better perception, Quan Yi specifically used his mental power to sense it.

This time, he noticed the uniqueness of the Iron Essence.

He sensed a hint of Fire-attribute aura from the forged Iron Essence.

This should be a phenomenon caused by the Fire-attribute power he input during forging.

However, Quan Yi was also at a loss as to what this represented.

"Young Master, can you let me study this metal carefully?"

Blacksmith Yuan asked Quan Yi with great interest.

Quan Yi nodded in agreement. Blacksmith Yuan had his own methods for testing the properties of metals.

Before long, Quan Yi would be able to learn about the differences of this Iron Essence containing Fire-attribute energy.

"I originally wanted to use this Iron Essence to forge a new anvil, but now it seems I still have to ask you to use other Iron Essence to forge one for me."

"No problem, Young Master."

Obviously, Quan Yi re-forged the Iron Essence in order to continue forging iron.

After giving his instructions, Quan Yi prepared to leave the Blacksmith Shop and return to the Academy.

At this moment, Blacksmith Yuan stopped Quan Yi.

"Young Master, 'that item' has been completed."

A look of surprise flashed in Quan Yi's eyes as he said, "So fast!"

Blacksmith Yuan exclaimed, "Thanks to the various labor-saving forging tools invented by Young Master, we were also frightened by our own speed during the manufacturing process."

Quan Yi, unable to wait, followed Blacksmith Yuan and jogged all the way into the secret research room next door.

Running into the doorway, 'that item' placed directly at the entrance made Quan Yi's heart stir with excitement.

'That item' was definitely unheard of for the people of Douluo Continent, but for Quan Yi, it was a part of his distant memories.

This object presented a simple yet stable structure: a triangular frame with two enormous wheels.

What was even more peculiar was that the 'wheels' of this 'vehicle' were positioned closely together.

This differed somewhat from the wheel arrangement one would typically imagine.

At that moment, Blacksmith Yuan proudly introduced to Quan Yi the item he had participated in crafting from start to finish.

"Young Master, this is the 'Bicycle' that was specially customized according to your instructions."
