"Rustle, rustle ..."
Amidst the unceasing sound of flowing sand, time quickly passed by.
Unknowingly, each metal table was covered with a bright red flame. It was either big or small, extremely powerful, or slightly weak.
Thousands of blazing auras intersected in the air, wildly filling the air.
Even though these young Weapon Refiners were drenched in sweat, they were completely unaware of it, for they're all concentrating on the "Light Stone". Adding that the Weapon Refiners had all fused with the "True Fire", their endurance towards heat also far exceeded that of ordinary people.
However, the people closest to the arena were feeling unbearable heat, and they all retreated backwards.
"Pfft!" "Puff ..."
About a quarter of an hour later, the faint sound of the flames extinguishing began to ring throughout the arena.
The first one to complete the smelting of the gem wasn't the red-haired, blue-eyed girl in the yellow dress, nor was it the well-dressed young man. Instead, it was a very mature man in black, followed by the two of them and the baby-faced girl.
Time flew by as more and more people completed the refinement of the "Light Stone".
Tang Huan was completely focused, the white juice slowly condensed on the edge of his palm and dripped onto the plate. When the "Light Stone" had melted, Tang Huan crumpled the thick liquid into a ball and placed it on his palm. Then, he wrapped it up tightly with the weaker True Fire.
The requirement of this first trial was to refine gems. This meant that after they were melted, they had to be tempered to remove all impurities from the gemstone juice.
In the entire process, Tang Huan was neither fast nor slow. Yesterday, after he once again absorbed the heat from Shan Shan's body, his "True Fire" Fire Seed had condensed once again. Compared to when he had just absorbed the Profound Yang Flame Essence, the current Fire seed was only a quarter of its original size.
The condensation of the Fire Seed made the flames appear incomparably pure. The heat emitted by a ball of fire of the same size was, however, multiplied by several times.
If Tang Huan wanted to show off, he could definitely complete the refinement of the "Light Stone" within fifteen minutes.
But in that case, there wouldn't be that kind of surprising effect in the end, so Tang Huan tried his best to slow down. Fortunately, after this period of practice, his control over the "True Fire" had become even stronger. Otherwise, he might not be able to hide it any longer.
The portion of Weapon Refiners closest to Tang Huan were all completely concentrated, and did not sense the extremely strong heat emitted from the small cluster of flame in Tang Huan's palm, nor did they notice the white color at the center of the flame.
After about half an hour, the flames in Tang Huan's palm quietly extinguished.
In the blink of an eye, approximately forty percent of the Weapon Refiners had already finished refining the gems, but there were even more whose palms were still flickering with flames.
Amongst the thousands of people, Tang Huan's speed was considered neither fast nor slow.
The next step was to wait.
Hearing the constant rustling sounds, and seeing that someone had completed the smelting of the gems, the pressure on the left Weapon Refiners grew increasingly stronger. Many people revealed anxious expressions, but the more anxious they were, the more mistakes they would make.
As the time limit neared, the flames on a small number of Weapon Refiners' palms actually extinguished several times.
"An hour is up!"
And just at that moment, Qing Ye's voice, which had an extremely strong penetrating force, suddenly resounded in the air above the plaza.
"who have not finished refining, please leave the arena and rest on the right side." Qing Ye arrived at the front of the stage and swept her eyes across the stage.
"Sigh, I failed. If only there were more time."
"Even if another quarter, that's fine."
"I melted the gem, but I've only tempered half of it. What a pity, what a pity."
"..."
Dejected voices could be heard from time to time, and soon after, a few figures gloomily left the metal table and converged on the empty space to the right of the high platform.
Tang Huan did a quick count; there were hundreds of Weapon Refiners who did not finish within the time limit.
"Next, we will proceed with the testing!"
As soon as Qing Ye's words fell, a dozen or so figures walked into the arena. Whether they were men or women, old or young, they were obviously all Weapon Refiners, and it was very likely that all of them were mid-level Weapon Refiners.
Each of them had two lines, inspecting the area along the way.
"Incomplete tempering, not qualified!"
"Tempering's not complete, not qualified!"
"Too many impurities remaining, not qualified!"
"..."
In the plaza, similar sounds rose and fell one after another. When the Weapon Refiners heard this result, they looked as if their parents had died, and helplessly left the arena with sullen faces.
It was not like there were no Weapon Refiners to defend themselves, but it was a pity that it was useless.
The Weapon Refiners who were sent to inspect not only had astonishing Perception Abilities, but they also had extremely good eyesight, which meant that the probability of them making a mistake was extremely small. After they explained the situation of the "Light Stone" juice thoroughly, the people who had refuted them in the end obediently left.
Not long later, a middle aged woman came to Tang Huan's side.
"Hu!"
A ball of flame whizzed out from her palm, covering the gemstone juice on the plate.
Very quickly, the middle aged woman finished her examination. She looked at Tang Huan in shock and did not say a word.
It took more than a quarter of an hour for all the tests to be completed.
The number of Weapon Refiners who were eliminated because they failed the test were even more than those who did not finish refining. There were even some Weapon Refiners who finished refining in advance that were eliminated. Some of the Weapon Refiners who were lucky enough to pass were secretly rejoicing. They had finally gotten their hands on a "Thunder Light Stone" and a low-level weapon!
Currently, the number of Weapon Refiners still standing here was less than two thousand.
"Congratulations, you have passed the first trial of the competition."
Qing Ye's smiling face was like a flower, "Next, is the second trial, the forging of the blade. Now, please take out the 'Spirit Flexible Iron' from the drawer. "
Everyone followed her instructions, and after a while, a large cube of iron ore appeared on everyone's table.
This "Spirit Flexible Iron" was completely different from iron ores like "black profound iron". It did not need to be hammered with fire or iron, it could be directly completed with "True Fire". When the "True Fire" was strong to a certain degree, the iron ore would become extremely soft, and could be kneaded as easily as dough.
Of course, weapons made with this "Spirit Flexible Iron" were easily broken and couldn't be used against the enemy at all, but it was very suitable for this kind of test. The level of a Weapon Refiner's weapon forging skills could be easily detected with this "Spirit Flexible Iron".
Thus, no matter if it was the "Weapon Refining Competition" that was held once every five years, or the other Weapon Refiners' competitions, they would often use this relatively common "Spirit Flexible Iron".
"The second trial, begin!"
With Qing Ye's order, the remaining Weapon Refiners began to move quickly.
Those who were able to enter the second trial were all of decent skill and no one was a sorry apology. Not long after, a ball of flame seemed to have ignited in front of everyone. At this time, many of the Weapon Refiners who had been holding back before also used up all of their energy.
It was impossible to train this "Spirit Flexible Iron" if the fire was small.
Only when the intensity of the flame exceeded a certain point would the "Spirit Flexible Iron" quickly soften. In the second trial, there were very few Weapon Refiners who could still hide their abilities.
The luxuriously dressed young man swept his gaze at the yellow dressed girl and the others behind him, and a sense of urgency appeared on his face.
As for the Tang Huan he had originally provoked, had been completely tossed to the back of his mind.
Previously, when he saw Tang Huan observe his opponent's strength before fusing the gems, he thought that Tang Huan was similar to him, with a decent level of artifact forging. However, the flames that Tang Huan controlled left him disappointed, as he completely lost interest in Tang Huan.
Tang Huan was still neither fast nor slow, but the flame that was seeping out from his palm was a little stronger than the first round.
Under the continuous burn of the True Fire, after only half a quarter of an hour, the "Spirit Flexible Iron" had already softened. Tang Huan's left hand controlled the flame as he continued to burn it while his right hand continued to knead and knead at the metal.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
