There are regular ripples inside the rock slabs, which are internal damage caused by resonance.

Wuhua also squatted down, looking at the cut with a smile. She said proudly, "This is the power of resonance. Just a little bit of force can break through indestructible defenses, launch an attack from within the enemy, and pry open huge objects with tiny force. How about it, it's amazing."

"It's awesome."

Noita answered Wuhua nonchalantly, his fingers constantly touching the cuts on the ground.

She closed her eyes and recalled the changes in the tone of Wuhua's whistle, as well as its changes in the air and the changes in magic power. The detailed data and the process of change were recorded in the log and played in her mind on a loop.

She extracted some of the heat from the heart, which flowed along a blood vessel to her fingertips and then to the stone slab.

With a clang sound, like the sound of a broken guitar string, it quietly spread.

Wuhua's eyes focused and he found that something had happened to the fire man symbolizing Noita. A thin, conspicuous white line suddenly appeared, extending from the heart to the fingertips, crossing the strong colors.

The colors around the white line become blurred and turbid, and in some places the colors are no longer clear.

This means that the orderly impregnation process has been disrupted.

Noita was injured.

Wuhua looked at Noita in confusion, but she didn't do anything.

A hint of pain appeared on Noita's face. She stood up slowly with a gasp, climbed onto the bed, and lay down peacefully, not intending to explain anything.

"Hey, why are you suddenly injured? Did you experiment on your own body?"

"That's it." Noita turned sideways, with the less painful part at the bottom.

"I memorized the vibration frequency caused by your whistle, and wanted to mimic that frequency in my muscles, channeling the force into the stone. I accidentally severed a blood vessel, and I'm reconnecting it now."

"Muscles aren't strings. What made you think of using your body for experiments? Why not use psychic energy? With your ability to control psychic energy, it should be much easier for you to do this kind of experiment."

"It was just a sudden thought. I thought it would be faster and more impressive to do the experiment inside the body." Noita found it difficult to explain. It was like a person who was used to doing something, and one day suddenly had an inspiration and decided to do it in a different way.

The outcome of the incident was a blow to people, making them realize that this was stupid.

It's like "Hey, I have a good idea", and then you do it, and then you realize it's terrible. But before you do it, you don't know that it will be stupid, you just think it's a good idea.

But Noita thought it would be more fun, so he used muscle resonance.

And she blew it.

"I will laugh at you. I will tell my sister about this and ask her to write a book about your stupid behavior and spread it all over the country."

No, your sister already knows.

Noita covered her face with her hands and sighed helplessly.

In the log, the entry about the doe observing secretly never disappeared.

"Take a break. Once your blood vessels are connected, we can discuss the subsequent theory and practical operations in detail."

Wuhua suppressed her smile and turned around to clean up the cut. She called a metal ingot into her hand, melted it into molten iron, and prepared to use it to fill the gap.

Suddenly, Wuhua was stunned and looked at the ground in disbelief.

A shallow and short fine line appeared next to the originally long and narrow crack on the stone slab. Wuhua touched the ground with his fingertips to explore the structure of the stone slab. As expected, some of the regular ripples inside the stone slab were destroyed by the intervention of another resonance, becoming chaotic.

This is the trace made by Noita.

It's really amazing.

Wuhua sighed silently in his heart.

Noita actually managed to replicate her actions with her body with just a flash of inspiration. This talent is truly terrifying. Fortunately, she did not appear in her own era, otherwise the shaman's position would be in jeopardy.

Some thoughts flowed through Wuhua's soul, and she suddenly felt a little sad. She might have been a little willful before, causing Noita to almost get hurt. She wouldn't hate herself, right?

This girl shouldn't hold grudges...right?

Wuhua thought of something that was giving her a headache, and she quietly separated a part of herself and flew to her sister.

A doe was standing beside a deep mountain stream, gazing down at the pebbles of various shapes under the thin ice.

Suddenly a vague call sounded in the sky.

“Sister, sister!”

Before seeing the person, I heard his voice first. The rapid cry came from far away and got closer. A fire meteor fell from the sky and crashed into the mountain stream.

The pebbles shattered, the water vapor evaporated, and the hot white mist rose from the evaporation and turned into ice when it cooled.

My good mood ended when I met my sister.

The doe paused, and the destroyed mountain stream and rising white mist dissipated like a dream, and everything returned to the way it was before the arrival of the natural beauty.

Wuhua circled around the doe and said quickly, "Sister, help me. Noita is even more talented than I thought, but I seem to have offended her before. Please help me think of a way to change my image in her mind."

Soon, Wuhua explained the whole cause and effect. Since the doe had watched the whole process, she knew very well what Wuhua had done.

It whispered, "Please beg for mercy."

"I'm a shaman, how can I beg for mercy from her? No way."

"Then wait until Noita becomes stronger and kicks you around like a ball."

"That's even more embarrassing!"

"Then let it be," the doe said nonchalantly. "Because of the karma of passing on your skills, she won't punish you harshly. As you get along for a while, she'll realize you can't control your own bad habits."

Wuhua said excitedly: "Then she will understand the reason behind everything and forgive me?"

"Maybe." The doe turned her head, with pity flashing in her eyes.

The more likely possibility is that he will just reduce the strength of his counterattack against you. Judging from what I have observed during this period of time, Noita is not a pushover. Understanding is one thing, and taking action is another. These are two different things.

"Should I continue teaching her? Her learning ability is truly terrifying. Should I find a reason to kick her out and ignore her?"

"No, Wuhua. You are no longer the shaman of the tribe, nor a child. No one will coax you, so you can no longer be willful." The doe said, "This is a new world. We must be careful with every step we take and cannot act willfully. Otherwise, one wrong step will bring disaster.

"Also, Noita has the scent of Silence on her body. Obviously, she has been in contact with an immortal. She is different. We should try our best to meet her requirements. So go, Wuhua, and do what you should do."

Chapter 83: Don't Let Me Catch You.jpg

Hot air always echoes in the cave where Wuhua lives. The lava flowing in the residence brutally keeps out all the cold, making the indoor temperature above 40 degrees.

In the high temperature, Noita had already taken off his heavy winter clothes, put on a cool shirt, and held a hammer to forge pig iron.

Each piece of metal is compressed and stretched under high temperature and violent forging, and the impurities in the pig iron are removed by the hammering like a tide.

In a short while, a piece of steel came out of the furnace.

Wuhua picked up the cooled steel and took a bite. The hard iron ingot was as crispy as a pancake under her teeth. She savored the taste of the iron carefully, then threw it into the lava pool and shook her head coldly.

She commented, "It can be used to forge some common weapons, but it has too many impurities and the proportions are drastically off, making it unsuitable for alchemy."

She whistled. "The quality is still not up to standard. Keep working on it, Noita."

Upon hearing this, Noita picked up a few pieces of scrap iron from the scrap metal pile, stuffed them into an iron can and heated them, then took out the can and forged them after they were red hot.

The clanging sounds continued and became more and more rapid.

"Almost there." Wuhua reminded slowly, "The rhythm is messed up, the resonance in your body is not coordinated enough, try again."

Another can of semi-finished product was thrown into the lava pool. Noita repeated the previous steps, his eyes became more fierce and his hands became more powerful, as if he wanted to hit the steel billet as if it were a piece of porcelain.

This is the third day of Wuhua's teaching to Noita.

Wuhua taught Noita the theory and techniques in the first two days, and on the third day she asked Noita to put them into practice.

Noita needs to use the resonance technique to purify the scrap iron and forge the steel rich in impurities into a pure alloy that can be used in alchemy, only then will he be qualified.

It was Noita's first day of ironwork, and also her first day of wanting to hit Wuhua's head with a hammer like a golf ball.

She held her breath, and like a seasoned blacksmith, she transformed the scrap metal into something magical, patiently working on it and turning it into fine steel that could be used to forge swords.

Wuhua noticed the changes in Noita. She sometimes observed the flow of energy and the force in Noita's body, and sometimes fished out a refined and pure steel billet from the lava pool, mixed a handful of soil into the steel billet, turned it into scrap iron, and threw it into the scrap iron pile next to Noita.

The raw materials given to Noita for practice were all hand-kneaded by Wuhua, and each had its own problems. Judging from the dozens of steel billets calcined by Noita, there was no problem between two pieces of scrap iron.

Wuhua took great pains to make things more difficult for her.

But she is a real monster.

Wuhua watched the energy surge in Noita's body, observed the coordinated muscles mobilized by each swing of the hammer, and watched them adjust the vibration frequency according to the reaction force in the continuous hammering to achieve the optimal frequency. He couldn't help but sigh again.

After discussing Noita's teaching principles in detail with his sister the day before, Wuhua decided to teach her without reservation.

Since Noita has talent, we should fully tap into her talent.

Then, it got out of control.

Noita remembered the techniques she taught perfectly. Although she clearly did not understand the terms and explanations she said, she was able to perfectly replicate her movements and apply them in subsequent tests.

Wuhua witnessed Noita's transformation from a novice who didn't even know how to hold a hammer two hours ago to an experienced blacksmith. Although he was only as good as iron, it was still enough to make people shocked.

I don’t know whether it was right or wrong for my sister to choose her as the spokesperson.

If such a terrifying guy grows up, he might soon seize the right to speak in the Holy Mountain.

Thinking back to the plan her sister had discussed with her the day before, Wuhua was upset and couldn't make up her mind.

The continuous knocking sounds passed by boringly as time went by. Noita kept showing his works to Wuhua, but never received satisfactory evaluation.

If you fail, try again.

Constantly failing, constantly repeating, adjusting the rhythm, and summarizing experience, this is what Noita needs to do.

Occasionally, Wuhua would give her some advice and pull her back from going astray.

Twenty hours later, Wuhua had eaten the last iron ingot whole. She looked at Noita and said slowly, "Congratulations, Noita, this one passed. This is the twenty-sixth iron ingot that passed. Based on what I learned from Bing Qingting, if you ever fall on hard times, you could use this skill to become a blacksmith in a workshop outside, earning two or three ingots a week, which would be enough to provide you with food and shelter."

Noita noticed the key words: "The twenty-sixth? Does that mean I've already made a successful one?"

As if unaware of Noita's regretful look, Wuhua admitted frankly, "Yes, the first successful product was made six hours ago, but it tasted spicy and pungent, not tasty. Furthermore, your condition was unstable, and you couldn't consistently produce qualified products. Only when you produced five qualified products in a row, all of which tasted good, did I consider you to have achieved your goal for this stage."

The materialistic explanation made Noita feel resentful, but it was still reasonable, so she accepted it for the time being.

Wuhua estimated the time and felt that Noita didn't have much time left in the Holy Mountain, so he said, "It's getting late, let's do one last test."

With a wave of her hand, the lava and iron mixed together to form an indestructible iron man.

Lava is the source of Iron Man's power, and metals of different materials constitute its internal organs. The layers of heavy armor and buffer layers can withstand the direct impact of artillery shells.

The Iron Man's eyes were red, and high-temperature steam was gushing out of his pores. It was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Noita was wary of this iron man who was twice as tall as her, and wondered what new ideas Wuhua's amazing wisdom had come up with.

Wuhua did not disappoint her and said happily, "This is Iron Man No. 1, my childhood friend. When my sister was not at home, it protected me and killed many criminals. Although the original Iron Man No. 1 was destroyed a long time ago, after I became a shaman, I got its design and made a new one myself."

"Your goal is to destroy it, or make it shut down. If you fail, it won't kill you, because you have the ability to regenerate, but being smashed will hurt, and you don't want to go through the pain of reassembling your body."

Wuhua thought about it, and the cave quickly turned into an arena, flat and empty, without any obstacles to maneuver around.

"Now, let's start the placement test. Let me see what you've learned today."

The Iron Man started moving, and every step his overweight body took could cause cracks in the stone slab. He slowly approached Noita, then suddenly accelerated and struck hard, punching down as swift as the wind.

Wuhua retreated to the entrance of the cave and pulled out the Ice Dragonfly that was about to fight with Noita, not allowing her to disturb the battle.

Facing the snow elf's stubborn eyes that flashed with lightning, Wuhua said coldly, "Off-site help is not allowed. If I find out that you are secretly helping her, I will rip the rest of your soul out of your head and cast it into the iron statue. I know you are not afraid of death, but there will always be someone who will bear your pain for you."

Noita in the field waved her hand, telling Ice Dragonfly to relax, she didn't need help.

The girl lowered her head, stood there dejectedly, and became withdrawn.

The Iron Man is a creature whose strength far exceeds that of the Ice Element. Its strength is probably in the early to middle stage of the second level, but for unarmed warriors, its difficulty is far greater than other enemies in this range. It is a specialized enemy designed for combat professions.

Noita obviously couldn't beat it.

She broke her promise not to let her employer get hurt.

"You've become autistic so quickly?" Wuhua looked at Bing Qingting with a smile, wanting to tease her, but Bing Qingting completely ignored her and focused her full attention on the battle in the cave.
