"All sides need to be evenly stressed, otherwise the tip will become skewed." He quickly rotated the steel strip, ensuring that each side was hammered evenly.
When the color dropped to cherry red, he immediately stopped the heavy hammering and sent the steel strip back into the furnace.
"Now, it's your turn." He pointed to another identical 5160 spring steel.
Lin Yu'an took a deep breath, heated the steel strip to the perfect bright orange-yellow that he remembered, and then took it out. He recalled every detail of Old George's actions moments ago and swung the eight-pound hammer.
"Clang!—"
The sound was crisp, the impact precise!
Old George's eyes suddenly lit up! This strike, regardless of angle, force, or timing, was completely unlike a novice!
Lin Yu'an did not pause, quickly rotating the steel strip, beginning systematic "half-surface hammering."
