Quan Yi's combo skills have improved significantly over the past year.
He gradually increased the number of hits from the initial Fifty-Four Hit Combo.
However, as the number of hits increased, the accumulated power would reach an incredibly terrifying level.
Beyond the Fifty-Four Hit Combo, Quan Yi would find it difficult to control this immense power.
This was also the most troublesome aspect of mastering combo techniques for him.
But now, Quan Yi's physical fitness was several times greater than before his breakthrough, allowing him to attempt the advanced Seventy-Two Hit Combo.
Quan Yi pressed down on the Anvil and whispered, "I wonder if I can withstand it?
Let's start with forty percent of my power."
The power erupted from his legs, traveled along his thighs, waist, and finally reached his right arm.
"Clang!"
Forty percent of his power slammed fiercely into the red-hot Pig Iron.
At the moment of impact between the fist and the Pig Iron, a tremendous recoil force was generated, and Quan Yi's body rapidly rotated in the direction of the recoil.
As his right fist rotated with his body, the two-thousand-kilogram Gauntlets provided Quan Yi with additional force beyond the recoil due to gravity.
Quan Yi completely transferred the recoil and gravitational force to his left arm through the twisting of his body.
In the next moment, Quan Yi's left arm lashed out like a whip, striking the Pig Iron.
The second strike, hitting the Pig Iron, carried about fifty percent of his power.
From the second strike onwards, Quan Yi's combo speed became faster and faster, and his power grew stronger and stronger.
The terrifying sounds and flying sparks made it impossible for anyone to approach.
The people in the Blacksmith Shop were already used to it, but Quan Yi's performance today was even more exaggerated.
Years of observation had cultivated the blacksmiths' discerning eyes.
At the same time, they had subtly mastered the technique of Borrowing Strength.
Some exceptionally talented blacksmiths could even complete the initial Eighteen Hit Combo.
Therefore, these blacksmiths could better see that Quan Yi's power had become stronger than before.
By the fifty-eighth hit, the power of a single punch had increased to over five hundred percent.
At this point, Quan Yi's body was no longer his own.
He was like a spinning top wrapped in a powerful force, and if Quan Yi's body wasn't strong enough to withstand it, he would have been torn apart by this force.
The five-thousand-kilogram Pig Iron, after just fifty-eight strikes, had shrunk by more than half its original volume.
At this point, the impurities inside the Pig Iron had been completely removed, transforming it into a tough Blazing Heart Iron Essence.
However, Quan Yi didn't stop at this step, but instead, unleashed the next strike.
Fifty-fifth strike, fifty-sixth strike.
Sixtieth strike, sixty-first strike.
Quan Yi used all his mental energy, focusing intently on the state of the Iron Essence.
At this point, the impurities inside the Iron Essence had long been removed, and the entire piece of Iron Essence was already a unified whole. However, as Quan Yi's mind became highly concentrated, Quan Yi noticed something he had never noticed before.
"Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale."
The Iron Essence in front of him actually resonated with Quan Yi in a peculiar way.
With each strike, Quan Yi could feel the connection between himself and the Iron Essence becoming closer.
The surface of the Iron Essence actually began to glow with a dazzling Vermillion halo.
At this moment, Quan Yi only felt that the Iron Essence in front of him was communicating with him.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Unknowingly, Quan Yi's breathing frequency gradually aligned with the Iron Essence's breathing frequency.
Drawn by an inexplicable attraction, Quan Yi abruptly increased the Fire-attribute energy he was inputting into the Iron Essence.
This also caused the temperature inside the Forging Room to rise rapidly. The blacksmiths, assaulted by the heatwave, felt their mouths dry and their backs drenched in sweat.
However, they did not leave. Instead, they stayed to the side, eagerly watching Quan Yi's dancing figure.
Finally, in a few breaths, Quan Yi's combo count accumulated to the seventieth hit, the seventy-first hit.
The Iron Essence's volume, already reduced by half, shrank by half again.
The Blazing Heart Iron Essence's color became even more crimson, and at the same time, a magical Soul Power fluctuation emanated from within the Iron Essence.
However, at this moment, Quan Yi's mind did not dwell too much on these changes.
He was completely immersed in the communication with the Iron Essence.
At this moment, Quan Yi's breathing frequency achieved perfect unity with the Iron Essence.
By the seventy-second hit, the power of the final punch had been amplified to seven hundred and twenty percent, and it also carried a massive amount of Soul Power, landing violently on the Iron Essence.
At that moment, Quan Yi felt that his power and Soul Power had completely aligned with the Iron Essence's breathing frequency.
"Clang!"
As the final seventy-second hit landed, a terrifying wave spread from the point of impact, impacting everything in the Forging Room, including the watching blacksmiths.
"Crack!"
A sound of metal breaking rang out. The overburdened Anvil, under the final impact, had broken in the middle.
A blacksmith not far away, who had just struggled to his feet, saw this scene.
He couldn't help but gasp. He knew that this Anvil could withstand the long-term forging of the Steam Forging Hammer, and its load-bearing capacity was extraordinary.
But today, they witnessed the Young Master's astonishing feat of hand-splitting the Anvil, and couldn't help but gasp.
"Huff huff huff..."
Quan Yi's hands hung limply at his sides, and he breathed rapidly.
Although the entire process had only taken a little over two minutes, Quan Yi had consumed too much power and Soul Power.
Quan Yi, who could usually easily perform the Fifty-Four Hit Combo more than ten times, felt a sense of weakness after performing the Seventy-Two Hit Combo only once.
However, this made Quan Yi feel happy instead, because it meant that the Seventy-Two Hit Combo was dozens of times more terrifying than the Fifty-Four Hit Combo.
Moreover, what surprised Quan Yi even more was the face-basin-sized Iron Essence that had fallen in front of him.
Quan Yi stepped forward and picked up the Iron Essence with both hands.
The first thing he felt was its weight. Five thousand kilograms of Pig Iron had been forcibly shrunk to the size of a face basin. After removing the impurities, it still weighed more than three thousand kilograms.
Regardless of anything else, just this terrifying metal density was not much different from his Gauntlets.
One had to know that Quan Yi's Gauntlets were the most top-tier Tool Martial Soul. Just this point alone was enough to call it the most top-tier metal.
Quan Yi happily hugged the metal, feeling a familiar Soul Power fluctuation.
Quan Yi looked down at the Blazing Sun Heart hanging on his chest.
He murmured, "This feeling is exactly the same as the Soul Power fluctuation emitted by the Soul Guidance Device."
After murmuring, Quan Yi, on a whim, channeled his Soul Power into the metal. The next moment, a fierce flame ignited from the metal's surface.
Looking at the flames that had ignited on the metal's surface, Quan Yi was stunned to feel a familiar aura.
This was Quan Yi's own Ultimate Fire aura. Moreover, Quan Yi noticed that the intensity of the flame was stronger than the flame he released himself.
Immediately, Quan Yi felt the special nature of the metal in the dark.
Flame amplification.
The metal Quan Yi forged possessed the special ability to enhance the power of a Soul Master's flames.
The ability to produce special effects through the channeling of Soul Power.
Isn't this just like a Soul Guidance Device?
