Inside a cave, a simple blacksmithing furnace had been set up.
Tang Hao was starting from the very beginning, explaining to Yunchuan the essential principles of cultivating hammer techniques.
To cultivate hammer techniques—
One must first start with forging. After all, hammers were originally created to forge and temper weapons, so the training process naturally couldn't be separated from the act of forging and striking metal.
"…The muscles of a person's two lower legs are like the second and third hearts. If a person wants to bring out all of his strength, it must be the result of three hearts operating together. So, when swinging a hammer, the force does not begin from the waist. The three hearts are the true starting point."Tang Hao patiently explained the essence of forging beside the furnace.
"When the heart in your chest beats violently, you begin exerting strength from your two lower legs. The power rises up through the thighs, passes the waist, back, arms, and is finally released. That is a full-powered strike. The heart generates the force, and the waist serves as the axis. Watch."
As he spoke, Tang Hao picked up the forging hammer. With a low shout, he half-turned his body, his feet gripping the ground tightly. His lower legs suddenly tensed, and the entire person looked like a fierce tiger ready to pounce.His legs exerted force, his waist twisted back, and the forging hammer returned as though on its own—CLANG!It heavily smashed down onto the red-hot iron!
At the side, Yunchuan focused intently. He could see that this was merely a physical force-generation process. Tang Hao hadn't used a trace of soul power, nor had he used anywhere near his full strength. He only used a bit of physical strength, yet with technique added, that small amount of power smashed the glowing iron block down by nearly one-third.
"Using the lower legs to exert force and connecting the strength of the whole body—that is full power."Saying this, Tang Hao handed the hammer to Yunchuan."You try."
Yunchuan nodded and took the heavy forging hammer. Imitating Tang Hao's posture, he adjusted his stance. Similarly, he did not use soul power. His feet gripped the ground, and then—strength burst from his lower legs, instantly spreading upward.His waist twisted, carrying the back, then the shoulders, then the arms—
CLANG!!!
The hammer struck the iron block with a deafening crash.
The red-hot iron block was completely flattened!
Tang Hao was extremely surprised. He hadn't expected that after only one explanation, Yunchuan had immediately grasped the core principle. This talent and comprehension—far more terrifying than Xiao San's!It seemed the time needed for Yunchuan to master the hammer was far shorter than he had imagined.
"How was it?" Yunchuan asked, looking at the result of his strike.
"Not bad."
Tang Hao nodded slowly."Remember, the muscles humans use the most are the lower legs. The lower legs are the root of all strength. Use them well, and your power will greatly increase."
After speaking, he took the forging hammer back and continued,"Forging with full force allows your strength to be fully released. But at the same time, the rebound force of a full-power strike will also place great pressure on your body. If you don't guide it properly, not only can you injure yourself, but some of the power will leak instead of transmitting fully into the metal. Watch my next movements carefully."
Next, Tang Hao taught Yunchuan a set of force-redirection hammer techniques, known in the blacksmith world by a famous name:
The Random Disorder Split-Wind Hammer Technique! (Luan Pifeng Hammer Method)
This technique could not only forge weapons but could also be used to attack enemies—It was one of the Haotian Sect's most representative absolute techniques.
Yunchuan also learned it after just watching once.
But since he wasn't yet proficient when performing it, it took him half a month before he fully assimilated it, using it freely—Able to easily strike eighty-one hammers.
At this point, in terms of technique, Yunchuan could finally be considered barely a qualified blacksmith.
But this was far from enough—still long from his goal.
Thus, under Tang Hao's guidance, Yunchuan once again stood beneath the waterfall.
Beneath the waterfall was a raised round stone. Tang Hao demanded that he refrain from using any soul power and stand on the smooth stone using only physical technique, then swing the forging hammer at the waterfall using the Random Disorder Split-Wind Hammer Technique.
Only when he could strike eighty-one times would he pass.
…
Bang!
The eighth time.
This was the eighth time Yunchuan had been knocked into the pool by the waterfall.
The impact force of a waterfall falling from two hundred meters—Only those who had experienced it could understand its terror. Fortunately, even without using soul power, Yunchuan's physical body was extremely strong. Climbing back onto the giant stone was easy—the difficult part was maintaining his balance.
In such a situation, what was needed was technique.Not simply physical strength.
On his ninth climb back up, Yunchuan had already accumulated a lot of experience. He began judging the smoothness of the stone, the force of the water, how to avoid the direct impact, and how to use every part of his body to unload force.The heavy forging hammer also helped—The heavier he was, the harder it was for the waterfall to knock him down.
This time, his legs stood extremely firmly.The waterfall could no longer shake him.
Thus, he formally began hammering!
Generating force on the slippery stone was extremely difficult, but once the technique was mastered, it wasn't a problem. From the moment he could stand firmly, swinging the hammer was no longer an issue.
One hammer—Two hammers—Three hammers—…
In the original story, Tang San needed more than three months.
Yunchuan needed only one day to meet Tang Hao's requirement:
Standing on the round stone beneath the waterfall, using the Random Disorder Split-Wind Hammer Technique, striking eighty-one times.
The forging hammer in his hand danced wildly, constantly resisting the crashing waterfall. The hammer shadows formed a circular shield under the waterfall, blocking the rushing water and sending large sprays splashing everywhere.
Boom!
With the final strike, Yunchuan's body shot upward like a cannonball, rising ten meters against the falling waterfall. Within ten meters, the waterfall was forced upward, forming a reversed current, roaring loudly.Even the rainbow spanning the pool was disturbed and shattered.
Normally, achieving this effect required considerable force.But now, he had used just a little strength.
This was the nature of the Random Disorder Split-Wind Hammer Technique—Each hammer stronger than the last, each strike stacking atop the previous one.
At the instant the eighty-one strikes were completed, all accumulated force erupted together.Even without using a trace of soul power, the power released at that moment was terrifying.
As the water reversed upward, Tang Hao—who had been watching the entire time—was utterly astonished.
When he had achieved this step, he had needed half a year.
But Yunchuan—
He mastered it perfectly in one day.
He truly didn't know what to say.
This son's talent could only be described with one phrase—
Terrifying to the extreme.
