The Martial Saint of Humanity, I Have Transformed Low-Level Martial Arts Into Immortal Martial Arts - Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Melting Gold Hand! Melting Gold into Iron!

“I am willing to learn.”

Su Hao didn’t think much and immediately nodded in agreement. For him, learning more martial arts was never a burden; it was just an opportunity. Moreover, the martial art Xu Huanzhen wished to impart seemed extraordinary, and he wanted to see what it was.

Seeing Su Hao’s agreement, Xu Huanzhen didn’t waste any words. He said, “Our Xu family has always made a living through blacksmithing, and the martial art passed down through generations is called ‘Melting Gold Hand’!”

After saying this, Xu Huanzhen reached out and grabbed a long sword that was placed beside the table. He held the blade with his palm, unafraid of being cut by the sharp edge.

Su Hao observed closely and noticed that the surface of Xu Huanzhen’s palm was emanating a metallic glow; the sharp blade couldn’t even cut through his palm. Moreover, a scorching heat released from it, distorting the air around them!

The high temperature radiating from Xu Huanzhen’s palm seemed even hotter than that inside a furnace.

That long sword, forged from fine iron, gradually melted under this intense heat, turning into a pool of molten iron that dripped onto the ground, leaving the scorched ground pitch black!

“Impressive!”

Even Su Hao couldn’t help but look on in surprise at this scene.

To generate such a high temperature that could melt fine iron with just his bare hands? A fine iron sword could be melted in such a short time!

“This is a martial art at the Initiated Level, comparable to the Void Breaking Divine Fist.”

In an instant, Su Hao understood that Xu Huanzhen’s ‘Melting Gold Hand’ was not an ordinary Basic Martial Art but a martial art at the Initiated Level.

As the high temperature from Xu Huanzhen’s palm gradually receded, he explained, “The Melting Gold Hand is a Lower Grade martial art characterized by making the palms as hard as iron, impervious to knives or swords, while emitting a scorching high temperature. It excels in melting gold into iron; with sufficient skill, even rare metals that are hard to melt with fire can be dissolved into molten iron.”

“This martial art is used by our Xu family to assist in forging, but it is also quite formidable in combat. The scorching energy it releases can burn a person’s body, tendons, and even internal organs—its lethality is terrifying.”

Xu Huanzhen flexed his palm.

Once perfected, the Melting Gold Hand allows one’s hands to become as hard as iron, able to withstand knife and sword strikes without fear, fearless of searing flames, and release scorching strength with unparalleled melting power!

“Shopkeeper Xu… this martial art must be extremely rare and profound. Is it really okay for you to pass it on to me just like that?”

Su Hao hesitated a bit. He knew that Initiated Level martial arts were precious, and families often held onto them tightly, making it difficult for even their own to learn. Yet, Xu Huanzhen had decided to teach him directly.

Xu Huanzhen laughed heartily, “What do I lose by teaching you? Besides, with your forging skills improved, you’ll be able to create more powerful weapons for our Forging Weaponry Workshop. Who knows, you might even become a hallmark of our workshop in the future!”

Xu Huanzhen had thought carefully before deciding to teach Su Hao the ‘Melting Gold Hand.’ First, Su Hao had a clean background and had been honest since joining the Forging Weaponry Workshop. Second, it was naturally Su Hao’s demonstrated talent for forging that pleased Xu Huanzhen; he believed that once Su Hao learned the Melting Gold Hand, his achievements in forging would further rise, perhaps even allowing him to become a Grandmaster Blacksmith one day.

So it wasn’t until more than a year after Su Hao joined the Forging Weaponry Workshop that Xu Huanzhen finally passed on this ‘Melting Gold Hand’ to Su Hao.

“Then, Shopkeeper Xu, I will do my best to learn.”

Su Hao felt a bit moved and nodded vigorously.

Although he had encountered many ruthless individuals since arriving in this world, there were also some broad-minded good people, like Zhao Tie from Zhao’s Blacksmith Shop and Xu Huanzhen before him!

“Alright, you need to put in the effort. The practice of Melting Gold Hand is extremely challenging. Your talent in forging is high, and you should have decent comprehension and potential. If you work hard, you should be able to achieve some success within ten years.”

Xu Huanzhen smiled, believing that someone who could reach such a level of forging at such a young age must have both talent and perseverance. With time, Su Hao would surely achieve results learning the Melting Gold Hand.

For the next period, Xu Huanzhen taught Su Hao the Melting Gold Hand every day. Xu Huanzhen was quite surprised that Su Hao’s comprehension was extraordinary; he could grasp almost everything after just one explanation.

What Xu Huanzhen didn’t know was that Su Hao’s martial arts skills were quite exceptional and that he could even defeat the Transforming Tendon Martial Artist Shi Tieshan despite the difference in their realms.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

Beside the forge’s furnace, Su Hao wielded a hammer, forging the iron ore in front of him.

With his upper body bare, Su Hao’s muscles were refined and beautifully defined, every strike of the hammer sending sparks flying.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, Su Hao’s palms had developed a faint metallic sheen; even when sparks hit his hands, it did not hurt at all.

Each time he struck, he could feel the changes in the iron block through his palms, allowing him to forge the ore more effectively and efficiently!

Melting Gold Hand (Initiation)

On Su Hao’s attribute panel, an entry for Melting Gold Hand had appeared. Remarkably, within just two to three days, he had already initiated his training in it.

It’s important to note that the Melting Gold Hand is a Lower Grade martial art, far beyond what Basic Martial Arts can compare to. For ordinary martial artists, even those with some foundational skills, taking a year and a half to reach the Initiation Level is already quite impressive. Su Hao accomplished this in just two or three days, which is extraordinary!

“This Melting Gold Hand is quite remarkable. By spreading the Strength Force throughout my hands, they become as hard as iron, and I can also convert my Strength Force and blood energy into high temperatures. If I reach a profound level, combined with my solid Core Strength, my hands will be invulnerable, capable of melting metal and forging iron; they would be comparable to divine weapons!”

As Su Hao forged the weapons, he circulated his Strength Force, channeling it through the meridians in his hands while practicing the Melting Gold Hand. This technique allows him to train during the forging process, utilizing the rebound strength generated from hammering to practice the Melting Gold Hand, effectively doubling his efforts!

“With a maximum of three to four months, I’ll be able to achieve Perfection in the Melting Gold Hand!”

With abundant motivation, Su Hao’s eyes reflected the flickering furnace flames.

If Xu Huanzhen were to know about Su Hao’s training progress, he would undoubtedly be taken aback and find it hard to believe. Most people, even those extraordinary martial artists like Xu Huanzhen and Shi Tieshan, who possess greater talent and comprehension than ordinary martial artists, need to spend a significant amount of time to achieve mastery in Lower Grade martial arts.

However, Su Hao practiced the Void Breaking Divine Fist and reached perfection in less than six months, and now, with the Melting Gold Hand, he expects to achieve perfection in just three to four months.

This is naturally due to Su Hao’s growth in Potential; he has now crossed into the threshold of Innate Talent, with his roots and comprehension continuously rising!

Su Hao’s days have been rather peaceful. Each day he forges weapons while training the Melting Gold Hand, and before going home to sleep, he uses the Jade Bone Refining Paste for bone refinement, making each day fulfilling and busy.

Although this repetitive daily routine might seem a bit dull to outsiders, Su Hao finds joy in knowing he is making progress every day! Ignoring the disturbances from the outside world, he is quietly accumulating his foundation, patiently awaiting his transformation!
