Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 152 Casting

Moreover, Uncle Tsukasa's vision as a master foundry is truly outstanding.

At a glance, it was clear that the fairy alloy was the highest quality among all these metals.

"With this metal and the scales of the Scaled Dragon, I'm confident I can forge you a demonic sword called Dragonscale Maru!"

Li Shuwen quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I want to forge this alloy into a hammer."

Uncle Tsukasa became even more excited when he heard that Li Shuwen wanted to forge a hammer.

He held the fairy alloy in one hand and patted Li Shuwen's shoulder with the other.

Uncle Tsukishiro was so excited that Li Shuwen felt that if it weren't for his Iron Bones, he really wouldn't have been able to withstand the uncle's slaps.

I estimate that half of my body will be numb.

"Good lad, you've gotten stronger, and you're finally willing to learn casting from me!"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "Uncle, I learned a forging hammer technique from ancient books. Besides forging excellent weapons, the greatest effect of this hammer technique is that it can enhance physical fitness."

"Let me borrow your foundry hammer to demonstrate this hammering technique to you."

Uncle Tsukasa looked curious. "Show me."

Li Shuwen grabbed the casting hammer and placed a piece of unheated metal directly onto the anvil.

The demonstration of the skilled blacksmith's hammering technique begins.

With a target to work on, Li Shuwen felt his body receive a greater boost after circulating his true energy.

Li Shuwen's actions made Uncle Tsukage nod repeatedly.

"Shuwen, this is indeed a good forging hammer technique, but it should be an rudimentary hammer technique created by ancient people who studied Pokémon."

"Compared to humans, it is actually more suitable for Pokémon to use. The hammering method used by humans is actually gentler."

"After all, humans with the talent for true qi are few and far between, and you should have incorporated the hammer techniques I explained to you before into the hammer techniques in the ancient books, right?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "The ancient hammer technique was incomplete, so I incorporated the uncle's hammer technique into it as well."

Uncle Tsukasa smiled, "Then today I'll demonstrate all my hammer techniques to you, so you can see what human hammer techniques are like!"

Uncle Tsukasa removed all the metal blocks from the trunk.

Tap each metal with a small hammer and identify its properties based on the sound it makes.

Uncle Tsukasa pointed to the Fairy Alloy and Aluminum Steel Dragon Metal from the skilled blacksmith, "These two metals are suitable for forging warhammers, combined with the hammering technique you mentioned that can enhance physical strength."

"However, if all the metal were forged into a warhammer, it would be very heavy..."

Uncle Tsukage looked at Li Shuwen but didn't continue speaking.

Li Shuwen nodded. "All of it. My strength will continue to grow. Even if I can't forge it with a warhammer, I can still hone it by swinging it first."

Uncle Tsukasa smiled and said, "That's the spirit we need."

The casting hammer in Li Shuwen's hand was not used.

Uncle Tsukasa returned to the house and opened a box that had been sealed for a long time.

Take out a jet-black casting hammer from inside.

"This is the foundry hammer I used when I was young; I haven't used it in a long time."

This hammer feels like it could rival the warhammer of a master blacksmith.

"Uncle, how much does this hammer weigh?"

Uncle Tsukasa smiled. "Weighs 423 pounds! 1.75 meters tall!"

Uncle Tsukasa's tone made Li Shuwen feel as if he were seeing a peerless swordsman about to go into battle!

Uncle Tsukaho took out a Poké Ball and released a Charizard with a fierce look in its eyes.

"This is the companion I found in the Charizard Valley in the Johto region back then, in order to be able to smelt all the metals in the world."

"Charizard, breathe fire!"

As expected of a Charizard from the Charizard Valley, it only took two and a half minutes to heat Fairy Alloy and Aluminum Steel Dragon metal to a bright red.

Uncle Tsukasa stacked the two metals together and began forging.

"Watch closely!"

Each strike was imbued with power and exquisite skill.

Li Shuwen believed that he could master Uncle Zhongying's casting techniques.

The next simulation of the master blacksmith will take less than two and a half months.

In just 49 days, a skilled blacksmith can evolve into a master blacksmith!

This is truly an eye-opener! Absolutely an eye-opener!

It turns out that humans can unleash such powerful forces to forge metals without using machines.

Besides being a master forgeman, Li Shuwen felt that Uncle Zhongying was also a master of weapons.

Holding the casting hammer, he felt that Uncle Tsukasa could knock his sticky dragon away.

After completing one forging operation, Uncle Tsukasa breathed a long sigh of relief.

"How much do you remember?"

Li Shuwen pointed to his temple, "I've memorized it all."

Uncle Tsukage pointed to the forging station next to him and said, "There's a spot over there. Take that piece of steel and forge it into a straight sword, using the hammering technique I just showed you."

"it is good."

After Li Shuwen finished forging the straight sword, Uncle Zhongying had already completed two forgings, and the fairy alloy and aluminum steel dragon metal had basically fused together.

Uncle Tsukasa nodded after looking at the straight sword Li Shuwen had drawn.

"Not bad, we can sell it to that weapons collector."

Li Shuwen: "..."

Watching the fire-breathing dragon heat the metal block again, Li Shuwen asked curiously, "Uncle, how long will it take me to hammer this block?"

Uncle Tsukasa calculated the time, "About twenty-four days."

Li Shuwen's eyes widened. "So long!"

Uncle Tsukasa smiled and said, "It's already very fast. The metals you brought are all of very high purity, which has saved a lot of time in the early processing."

"Otherwise, the forging time for such a divine artifact would be measured in years."

Uncle Tsukasa waved his hand, "Alright, forge another rapier."

……

Exhausted and radiating the aura of fire, Li Shuwen returned to the Curtain Dojo.

"Kai, pack your things. We're going to the flower nursery in the south of the city tomorrow."

Ah Kai asked curiously, "Master, did you go to the blacksmith's shop?"

Li Shuwen nodded. "I'll try a new way of exercising."

Ah Kai was very excited. "Master, can I try too?"

Li Shuwen smiled and said, "I'll take you to meet Uncle Tsukasa another day. He'll definitely like you."

Uncle Tsukasa would definitely like Kai's youthful and energetic personality.

Uncle Tsukasa had to buy five weapons at the hardware store before he let Li Shuwen go back.

He was also told to come back next week, as the forging hammer technique requires continuous practice to prevent it from deteriorating.

It was tiring, but the physical training effect was truly outstanding.

Ah Kai nodded, "I will try my best and will definitely not let Master down!"

Li Shuwen patted Akai on the shoulder, "Tomorrow you and Little Stone will have a chance to shine."

Akai and Little Stone are the perfect opponents for the arena owner and the Three Bees.

Li Shuwen even brought along his father's recently evolved Machoke.

Hao Li's technique allows for a good balance of light and heavy pressure, making it suitable for helping beginners like Three Bees build confidence.

First, let Haoli help the three bees get a feel for battle.

Let Akai and Geodude go next.

Ah Kai was rather clueless and didn't know to hold back.

Neither Zhongcheng's three bees nor Pantao's three bees could defeat them.

Li Shuwen seriously doubted that even if consuming the elf food he made increased one's level, it was still possible that the level was not affected.

Three Bees still couldn't beat Geodude.
