Dragon's Origin

“What do you know about the importance of strength?” The old blacksmith scornfully despised Wang Sheng: “Just swing it and hammer with all your might, you don’t need to worry about anything else. The hammer is over there, come and give me a few strikes.”

“Okay!” Wang Sheng didn’t refuse, walked over, and reached out to hold the handle of the sledgehammer resting on the anvil.

The old blacksmith threw a few black things into the furnace. Wang Sheng saw that it wasn't coal, he didn't know what it was, but the flames shot up high. Then, the old man directly grabbed a metal lump and threw it into the fire without even using tongs.

After a while, the old man used a large pair of tongs to take out the fiery red metal lump and placed it on the anvil. With the other hand, he held a small hammer and began to direct Wang Sheng.

“Use your greatest strength to hit this.” The old man unceremoniously instructed: “Don’t stop unless I tell you to, keep hitting.”

“Greatest strength? Are you sure?” Wang Sheng was originally planning to help, but stopped after hearing this request: “Really want the greatest strength?”

“Why so much nonsense!” The old man was impatient. He could have hammered twice in the time it took to say that, wasting time: “Hurry up.”

“Okay!” Since the old man said so, Wang Sheng didn’t say much more. He reached out and lifted the sledgehammer leaning against the anvil.

As soon as he held it, Wang Sheng realized that this hammer was not simple. The weight alone was at least four times heavier than Wang Sheng had estimated. He didn’t know what material it was made of.

However, even if this hammer was ten times heavier, it would be nothing to Wang Sheng. The old man didn’t even test the weight and asked him to use his greatest strength, so Wang Sheng didn’t mind letting him see something amazing and, by the way, realize his mistake.

Whoosh, the hammer had already been raised high by Wang Sheng, and then Wang Sheng really used all his strength to heavily smash down on the fiery red metal lump on the anvil.

Bang, crack, clang, a series of sounds rang out, and various metal fragments flew everywhere. The crude blacksmith shop was as if it had been attacked by a silent, high-explosive fragmentation grenade. Large and small metal fragments were embedded in all directions, and several places that had already been hit were pierced by fragments of the fiery red metal lump. After a few hissing sounds, small sparks began to appear.

Wang Sheng’s full-strength hammer not only smashed the red-hot metal lump, but also smashed the anvil underneath. The large hammer in his hand was not spared either. The hammerhead shattered, and the hammer handle broke into five sections. Wang Sheng held two sections, each less than five inches long, in each of his hands, with clear handprints clearly imprinted on them.

Because he was already mentally prepared, Wang Sheng was not injured at all. He had already put on protective gloves on both hands and blocked his face, and the most important chest and abdomen had inner armor and liquid bulletproof vests, so even if a few fragments hit, it wouldn't matter much.

As for the limbs, Wang Sheng's current muscle strength and intensity were enough to resist this level of fragment ejection. His tense muscles probably couldn't even be penetrated by bullets, so blocking some fragments was too easy.

The old blacksmith was also not injured. Don't look at him as an old man, his cultivation was not low. Mere metal fragment splash could not hurt him at all.

However, although he was not injured physically, the old man was really hurt in his heart. An inconspicuous anvil made of cold iron crystals, and a large hammer made of star-patterned gold, actually turned into fragments under this guy's hammer? Did he know that any one of those fragments could buy half of the Heavenly Crafting Workshop?

This was not even counting the energy and labor spent to refine the anvil and the hammer. If calculated, it would definitely be enough to bankrupt an ordinary wealthy family.

It hurt so much! The old blacksmith was simply crying without tears now, but he couldn't blame Wang Sheng for anything, because Wang Sheng had said from the beginning that he didn't know the importance of strength, and he was the one who asked him to smash with the greatest strength.

Now Wang Sheng did follow his instructions and smashed with the greatest strength, and the result was this. While the old man was crying without tears, he had to quickly put out the places that had caught fire, otherwise, it would not be fun if a fire broke out.

With such a big commotion, of course many people in the Heavenly Crafting Workshop heard it, and many people gathered around to see what happened.

The old blacksmith had never been so embarrassed. After putting out the small flames, he had to quickly go out and explain to the neighbors who had gathered around that there was nothing serious, just a blacksmithing mistake.

This dilapidated shop had no cover, and everyone could clearly see what was going on inside. Moreover, everyone was neighbors and knew what kind of person the old man was. Seeing Wang Sheng acting innocent inside, but the old man looking embarrassed, everyone laughed, not giving the old man any face.

“Old Li, now that you have such a strong helper, can’t you try the hundred-fold forging that you were thinking about before?” People laughed for a long time and slowly began to disperse. There was one who had a good relationship with the old man, and he reminded him, which immediately made the old man's eyes light up.

After greeting his friend who reminded him, the old man hurriedly returned to the blacksmith shop. Since Wang Sheng had such great strength, it was just right to use his strength to test his ideas.

“Help me forge something as compensation for these losses, how about it?” The old blacksmith didn’t care about anything else when he entered the door, and directly asked Wang Sheng.

“Compensation?” Wang Sheng widened his eyes: “You asked me to use my greatest strength, and now you still want me to compensate you, do you have any shame?”

The old man glared: “What? You broke my things and you’re planning to deny it?” He looked like a shrewish and unreasonable person.

“Helping you is okay, but you also help me with something in return, and we’ll be even.” Wang Sheng wouldn’t be blackmailed by the old blacksmith’s rascality, and directly stated his request without hesitation.

“What request?” The old man really just wanted to blackmail him. Seeing that Wang Sheng’s posture couldn’t be blackmailed, he immediately changed his tone and asked for the request.

“Help me open this.” Wang Sheng didn’t decline, and wasn’t afraid of anyone outside seeing it. He directly took out the Two-Sided Exquisite Seal Box containing the necklace and showed it to the old man.

The old blacksmith fell silent, and several people who hadn’t left outside looked at Wang Sheng with very unfriendly eyes.

“How did you know?” Finally, the old blacksmith, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth and asked Wang Sheng coldly: “Little assassin!”

He revealed Wang Sheng’s identity as an assassin in one breath. It was obvious that he had recognized Wang Sheng’s current mask at a glance.
