Wang Yu took out the raw metal that had just cooled, and placed it on the anvil as he prepared to hammer it. A small number '0/18' appeared beside the anvil, indicating that Wang Yu had to strike it eighteen times to finish this step of the forging.
When Wang Yu raised the hammer, he noticed that there were eighteen green circles on the sword, showing him exactly where he had to strike.
Like the temperature indicator previously, these green circles were a special indicator that came as a result of the refining skill that Wang Yu possesed, normal players wouldn't
have this luxury.
Wang Yu tapped one of the green cirlces with the hammer, causing the circle to turn green, showing that this point had already been struck.
Wang Yu raised the hammer, striking at a different circle this time.
Mary remained silent as she watched Wang Yu striking the sword. It was already pretty good that Wang Yu could achieve this for a beginner.
But what Mary saw next had completely shocked her...
100%, 100%, 100%... Wang Yu had actually managed to achieve 100% seventeen times in a row! This allowed him to achieve 97% completion for the third step in the forging process!
A
process!
A normal player would face two challenges when they were doing the third step. Where they should strike and how much strength to use.
The places that one should strike with a hammer to temper their item they were forging was something that could be learnt with experience. But how hard they should strike was something that required talent. Not only was it hard to control the strength of their strikes, each different point required a different amount of strength and every weapon or armour they forged would require a different amount of strength.
Mary had probably forged a blade over eighty different
eighty different times, but she had only managed to get 100% completion consecutively once in her life.
According to rumours, the number one blacksmith in was only able to achieve about 95% with every strike. There would be endless amounts of people trying to scout him as their blacksmith if word of Wang Yu's forging spread out.
But how was Wang Yu's forging so good, mary wondered.
Even though it was said that talent was very important in forging, ho was it possible that Wang Yu was performing so well on his first attempt? It was because Wang Yu had the aid of the system, of the system, which told him where to strike and how many times to strike.
For a simple task like striking the metal to temper it, Wang Yu only needed a little guidance as to where to apply his strength.
After tempering the blade, all that was left was to assemble it.
The hand guard, the hilt and several other smaller components. These were all things that could be purchased from the store. After all, the blueprints did not have these items either.
With the help of his refining skill, Wang Yu was able to expertly assemble the blade, achieving 100% completion in the assembly process.
