I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 726: The Experienced Master and Precision Modern Instruments

Sun Dachuan was brimming with excitement, partly from pure joy at his brother's swift progression in enhancement skills, and partly because he had an inkling that he was about to face the most formidable opponent in the history of equipment enhancement.

Perceiving Sun Dachuan's thoughts, Lin Yi did not reveal the full extent of his current abilities. Instead, he returned Sun Dachuan's smile and then resumed his serious hammer swings.

As the duration of equipment forging extended, the inherent strength of the metal within the equipment would shift, making it highly probable that two consecutive hammer strikes could not be executed with identical force. Even a momentary difference in forging time could lead to a significant alteration in the equipment's robustness.

When pushing equipment enhancement beyond the +20 mark, it would invariably become densely webbed with cracks inscribed with runes. Although the Enhancer would meticulously hammer these cracks shut upon completion, the question remained: how sturdy could freshly mended cracks be when subjected to metal fatigue?

Typical Enhancers would opt for a temporary pause upon reaching this particular enhancement juncture, allowing the equipment more recovery time to ensure a smoother progression.

Following this, each subsequent enhancement would carefully select levels 1-3, reinforcing the equipment in the most stable manner possible.

At this precise moment, both Lin Yi and Sun Dachuan simultaneously reduced their hammering pace.

Their unwavering forging technique radiated the aura of true masters, yet the increasing fragility of the equipment demanded their utmost concentration.

+25, achieved without interruption.

Both individuals reached this milestone almost in unison, one right after the other.

However, this was far from their ultimate limit.

The flames emanating from the forging tables intensified relentlessly, and the enhanced equipment placed within began to shimmer and buckle from the excessive heat absorption.

To such an extreme degree that Lin Yi's hammer on his own station would tremble almost imperceptibly whenever Sun Dachuan's hammer descended nearby.

Under these circumstances, not only did controlling the force required to seal the cracks become considerably more difficult, but even the intricate process of inscribing runes had to be executed within an extraordinarily brief timeframe.

But a true master is, undeniably, a master.

Whether Lin Yi or Sun Dachuan, at this critical stage of enhancement, both displayed astonishing enhancement prowess with apparent ease. This was particularly evident during the rune inscription phase, where their extraordinary skill was showcased to its absolute peak.

Dozens of intricate runes were flawlessly etched at a terrifying speed in mere instants, a feat that seemed entirely beyond human capability.

Meanwhile, in the headmaster's office at Shenxiao...

The old cat, Wanchong Mountain, had just acquired a state-of-the-art multifunctional robot and had programmed it to perform the task of petting cats.

At this particular stage of its operation, the robot was engaged in the delicate act of chin-scratching, a sensation so profoundly pleasurable for Wanchong Mountain that he closed his eyes in bliss.

As he reveled in this moment of comfort, the office door suddenly burst open.

The abrupt noise startled the old cat, disrupting his tranquil state.

"You, what in the world are you doing? Can't you even knock when you have business? What's so urgent that you barge in like this? Is the sky falling? If the sky were to fall, shouldn't Lin Yi be the one holding it up? Why such a frantic rush?"

The sight of Wanchong Mountain being so blissfully pampered was witnessed by Lan Ruoxi, causing the old cat's dignified facade to falter. He immediately turned his scolding gaze towards Lan Ruoxi.

"Um, Headmaster, the sky is not falling. However, the matter at hand does indeed concern Lin Yi."

Concern Lin Yi?

What could possibly be worth reporting about this particular brat? Given his exceptional strength and innate talent, surely anything he does falls within the realm of expectation?

"What is there to say? This brat is a complete anomaly; nothing he does ever ceases to amaze. So, what is it? Do you have something specific to report? Did he comprehend yet another skill?"

If it were merely about comprehending another skill, Lan Ruoxi would certainly not have bothered to deliver the report in person.

"Headmaster, that brat is currently engaged in an equipment enhancement competition against Sun Dachuan."

There were actually very few individuals who were aware that Lin Yi possessed the ability to enhance equipment.

Wanchong Mountain initially found nothing particularly noteworthy about this; he had been aware of this fact for quite some time.

However, the subsequent words spoken by Lan Ruoxi completely shattered Wanchong Mountain's composure.

"They have now managed to enhance the equipment beyond +20 in a single, continuous effort. Would you care to witness this spectacle for yourself?"

What?

Lin Yi managed to enhance the equipment beyond +20 in one go!

At this elevated level of proficiency, how many Enhancers across Blue Star could possibly claim such mastery?

Recall, the last time he had observed Lin Yi's skills, the young man could only manage to enhance equipment up to +5, and even achieving that level had been a considerable struggle.

Upon hearing this astounding news, the old cat could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. The cat-petting robot was instantly forgotten as he leaped to his feet.

"Let's go, let's go see it immediately! This Enhancement Skill... it simply cannot be that easily..."

Upon personally arriving at the Divine Refining Bureau, Wanchong Mountain was taken aback by the sheer vibrant energy of the place.

The intense competition between Lin Yi and Sun Dachuan had already escalated to a fever pitch.

The current enhancement level of the equipment in both their hands had astonishingly reached the +30 mark.

Successfully enhancing equipment to such a distinguished level unequivocally placed them among the absolute elite of all Enhancers.

Furthermore, they accomplished this in a single attempt, a feat whose difficulty was beyond comprehension.

"What's your verdict, Headmaster?"

Lan Ruoxi, who had been meticulously observing for years, finally found an opportunity to make Wanchong Mountain uneasy.

"Very well, very well, let's not overextend ourselves. Others might not grasp Lin Yi's capabilities, but you, Lan Ruoxi, should. After all, you were his dean for a period; you must be aware of his immense potential."

"This Enhancement Skill is indeed challenging for us, but is that brat normal? No, he isn't. Isn't it understandable that he finds comprehension easier?"

"Let's observe the contest between these two."

As the equipment absorbed more heat, the primary metal began to exhibit signs of melting.

Sun Dachuan, throughout the hammering process, continuously doused the enhanced equipment with water to facilitate cooling and shaping.

The quantity and placement of the water were highly specific.

The amount poured was entirely dependent on the Enhancer's skill, as equipment at varying temperatures necessitated different hammering forces.

However, Lin Yi, wielding the Eternal Law, did not need to undergo such cumbersome procedures.

He could employ Eternal Ice to cool the forging equipment.

By adjusting the size of the contact area, he could regulate the degree of temperature control.

The two displayed entirely distinct approaches.

Sun Dachuan appeared as a master whose heritage traced back to some intangible cultural legacy, using his hands as a measuring tool, with each hammer strike relying on experience accumulated over numerous years.

In stark contrast, Lin Yi, equipped with the Eye of All-Seeing, was entirely different.

By scrutinizing the metal's temperature via the Eye of All-Seeing and employing Eternal Ice for cooling, his actions were extraordinarily precise, mirroring the accuracy of modern machinery.

Both were skilled Enhancers, and their contrasting styles of enhancement provided vastly different viewing experiences, leaving the audience in sheer amazement.

It remains uncertain who will emerge superior, but what is definite is that a disparity exists, however minuscule."
