Hao Ren took a deep breath as he watched the Grandmaster refine the sword before him. The hamr had turned orange from the friction between the void and the hamr. This was the first ti Hao Ren had seen sothing like this, but it was not only the burning hamr that was magnificent, it was also the impact it was dealing to the artifact under it.
The grandmaster finished refining the artifact but he had yet to create runes on the blade, he turned to look at Hao Ren and found the young man gazing at the void with a dull gaze. The old man was visibly shocked, he didn't expect that the display of his technique would lead this guy to an epiphany so casually.
He mumbled, 'No wonder his talent is so scary. Just who is this kid.'
After half an hour, Hao Ren woke up from the epiphany. He spotted that the old man had finished carving the runes on the sword. Grandmaster Flaming Hamr turned around to look at him, and asked, "Did you gain anything?"
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Yes, Sir."
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr stroked his beard and said, "Then what are you waiting for, get on the furnace and consolidate your thoughts. Refine artifacts as much as you can."
Hao Ren nodded and then he walked up to the furnace and then began to refine weapons again. His speed was faster, and many tis his hamr generated a few sparks. Grandmaster Flaming Hamr took a deep breath and his eyes were filled with admiration.
He could not believe what was happening before him. Soone managed to grasp the key to his technique with just one glance. How could he fathom this? However, he could do nothing else about it. Hao Ren didn't know about what was going on inside the mind of the old man and he was focused only on the embryo of the weapon in front of him.
At the sa ti he was comprehending a lot of things as well. After a few minutes, Hao Ren finished the weapon, and then began to refine another, and then the next. He went on to refine one after the other, and he didn't care if the old man was still watching him. All he cared for was the fact that he was learning.
After several hours, when he stopped refining weapons to rest a little. Grandmaster Flaming Hamr said, "Co with ."
Hao Ren nodded and then followed the old man who walked out of the courtyard and then the house in big strides. The young man was shocked, he could not understand where they were going but he wasn't worried about it at all. As they walked through the city, Hao Ren wanted to ask the old man about where they were going many tis, but he could not help it and before they could reach the place, Hao Ren spotted a huge courtyard similar to what Flaming Hamr had been living in.
The guards saw the old man and bowed before the turned to the side and let them inside. Hao Ren followed behind the old man with great patience, and similar to the mansion of Grandmaster Flaming Hamr, he spotted a lot of people hamring down on the anvils and so of them were maintaining fire.
As Grandmaster Flaming Hamr walked inside the disciples bowed to him in respect before going back to their tasks. As Hao Ren followed the man inside the house, they bypassed the front courtyard, and reached the second courtyard and Old Man Flaming Hamr yelled, "Old Bastard! Co out."
The voice shook the house, and a calm voice replied, "Still putting on the show for the youngsters, you flaming pig. Lower your voice, this isn't your ho."
As the voice sounded, Hao Ren spotted an old man walking out of a small room on the side, and Grandmaster Flaming Hamr said, "This old man is Grandmaster Serene Stor."
Hao Ren bowed to the old man and the latter asked, "Speak, why have you co to my sanctum."
The two people were polar contrast to each other, while Grandmaster Flaming Hamr was unkempt and boorish, Grandmaster Serene Stor was sophisticated and very well grood.
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr said, "This young man ca in yesterday and took the job as my assistant. I showed him the hamring technique, but he already has so understanding about it."
Grandmaster Serene Stor looked at him in surprised and asked, "Soone managed to learn your bizzare technique?"
His words flared up the temper of the boorish old man but he quickly turned to look at the young man and asked, "Young man can you show what you have learned?"
Hao Ren nodded, he still didn't know what was going on but he wanted to learn all he could so he decided to show the old man a glimpse of what he could do. Grandmaster Serene Stor waved his hand and a furnace and anvil appeared before Hao Ren. The young man then thanked and replied, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
Serene Stor smiled with him and replied, "At least soone has manners."
Hao Ren took out his hamr and then began to refine a bunch of tal portions and then began to refine them all. His speed was fast and as his hamr moved through the void and then Serene Stor saw that the hamr was catching so sparks as it moved.
As Hao Ren moved ahead, he seed to be holding his stance for a little and then the hamr moved so fast that it created even more sparks. His speed was not fast compared to before but his swings were higher that was why it created such a high amount of sparks. Gradually Hao Ren was able to heat up the hamr so much that it turned a little yellow.
The two grandmasters were so shocked that they opened their eyes wide. They could not understand how this guy was doing it. Grandmaster Serene Stor asked Grandmaster Flaming Hamr, "What is going on? How many days did you say you have taught him for?"
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr replied, "Just one day. I only showed it to him one ti."
Grandmaster Serene Stor gulped and said, "Can we say that he has almost mastered the technique completely?"
The latter nodded and replied, "Yes, he has."
After a few minutes, he replied, "Old man, the younger generation will always be ahead of us."
The two old n nodded in understanding and after a few minutes, they took a deep breath and Hao Ren finished creating the artifact. When they were done, Serene Stor nodded and said, "Good, if you can learn the technique of this old man, you can also learn my technique."
Hao Ren was surprised and asked, "Sir, how can I do that?"
The old man chuckled and replied, "I will not ask you to accept as your master, only accept as a teacher. One man can have many teachers. What do you say?"
Hao Ren thought for a bit and nodded, as he said, "I will make sure that these techniques are handed down to suitable people."
Serene Stor nodded and then he displayed his own technique to Hao Ren. He stood beside the anvil and waved his hamr at the slted tal. Hao Ren saw that the old man was directly moving the void with his hamr and it caused a gushing wind. This was sothing really miraculous.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and remarked, "Condensing the void at the tip of the hamrhead to impact the artifact and dispel the impurities."
Grandmaster Flaming Hamr nodded and replied, "I have tried many tis to condense the void, but it is very tricky. His technique causes a storm around him but look, the artifact stays unaffected. Only the impact of the hamr is making it ripple."
Hao Ren nodded in understanding and decided to use the Eyes of Insight to decipher this technique, and while he was analyzing this, Serene Stor finished crafting the artifact, and turned around to find Hao Ren lost in a daze. Flaming Hamr said, "Now do you understand how crazy it was when I first saw it?"
Serene Stor sighed and replied, "Old Man, I have no idea that sothing like this could even happen, are you sure this guy is a human?"
Flaming hamr nodded and replied, "Yes, he is indeed a human. Can you not see through him?"
They discussed what they should teach Hao Ren, and this continued for several minutes, before they found Hao Ren waking up and walking towards the anvil. The young man began to slt so tal and then he used his hamr to refine a spear, this ti his hamr caught flas from the first blow itself and not only that, there was a soft gush of wind when the hamr collided with the artifact on the anvil.
Hao Ren was unbothered, he was completely engrossed in refining the artifact to the best of his abilities. His technique on the other hand, made the two old n shiver in excitent, they have finally found the successor to their techniques.
