Complete Martial Arts Attributes

as bad as falling short!

Also, blacksmiths were only willing to spend a large amount of their precious time on high-quality materials.

Black iron was just one of the most common metal materials.
Hundred-forged was its limit.
If the blacksmith wasn’t skilled enough and didn’t control his strength properly, there might be too much pressure during the hammering, and the black iron would turn into scrap iron before it could be hammered a hundred times.

“Very good.
The completion of this black iron is very high.
It has reached 97% purity.
It’s already a rare refined iron.” Xiong Ba wasn’t stingy with his compliments.
There was admiration in his eyes as he looked at Wang Teng.
This person was an exceptional talent in smithery.

Hundred-forged metals could have different purity levels too.
It depended on the blacksmith’s technique.

In the smithery industry, purity never reached 100%.
This was just the ideal stage, and it was unattainable.

If you asked a grandmaster blacksmith to hammer the most ordinary material, he wouldn’t be able to make it 100% pure.

Thus, Xiong Ba felt that Wang Teng’s 97% was the highest he could reach.
There was no way the iron could be purer than this.

The other people were still engrossed in their forging, so they didn’t hear Xiong Ba’s words.
If not, they wouldn’t want to forge anymore.

“Your smithery skill is not bad.
Do you have a master?” Xiong Ba asked the question in his mind.

“No, I just came to listen to your lessons,” Wang Teng shook his head and replied.

“You just came to my class, yet you’re able to reach this stage in such a short time?”

Xiong Ba was mentally prepared, but when he heard Wang Teng admitting it personally, he still felt dumbfounded.

“Alright, there’s nothing else.
You can leave now.” Xiong Ba waved his hand and continued, “Oh right, I will keep your hundred-forged black iron.
I will return it to you in the next lesson.”

“Okay.” Wang Teng didn’t know what Xiong Ba needed the black iron for, but he knew that Xiong Ba wouldn’t trick him for a mere hundred-forged black iron.
He wasn’t that greedy.

After Wang Teng left, Xiong Ba announced the end of the exam ten minutes before the lesson ended.

Then, he inspected the students’ work one by one.
Two of them were able to do hundred-forged, but their purity couldn’t be compared to Wang Teng’s.
One was at 67% while the other was at 83%.

67% was not bad for a beginner.

As for the other student who managed to attain 83%, he came from a family of blacksmiths.
His foundation was good, and he was already outstanding enough to be able to reach this stage.

Xiong Ba announced the results and encouraged everyone.
Then, he ended the lesson.

The student from the blacksmith family stood up and asked, “Wait, instructor, what’s Wang Teng’s purity percentage?”

Xiong Ba couldn’t bear to stimulate the child.
But, when he saw the stubbornness in his eyes, he sighed and said, “Hundred-forged, 97%!”

The students in the class were flabbergasted.

“He managed to reach 97% purity!”

“How is it so high!”

“He must at least be at master level to reach this purity.”

…

“Such a genius really exists in the world,” the student who came from a smithery family said dejectedly.

“He’s an exception.
There are not many geniuses like him, so you don’t have to compare yourself to him.
You’re exceptional enough,” Xiong Ba consoled him.

When the student heard his words, he felt even worse.

There was no point in comparing.
This hurt even more.

In an instant, the student’s face turned black, and he gave off a depressed aura.

“He’s doing it again.” Xiong Ba felt helpless.
This student was outstanding in all areas, but he always turned into a zombie whenever he got stimulated.
Xiong Ba didn’t know how to react.
He coughed awkwardly and said, “Cough, cough, Yang Gong, I suddenly think that if you work harder, you will be able to catch up with Wang Teng very soon.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I’m very sure.”

“I know.
I will not lose to anyone.
Instructure Xiong, I need to go back and train now.
See you.”

“See you, sigh~” Xiong Ba let out a long sigh.
