Sizzle!
The Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold was melted by Xu Que’s high-temperature flames. Many arcs intertwined on the surface of the metal, creating many crisp sounds. The onlookers were shocked and puzzled.
“This guy cut off a small piece of the Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold and placed it into the first piece of Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold!”
“Holy sh*t! Is he going to change the formula of the Hundred Miles Killer Blade?”
“Has he lost his mind? This is a whimsical idea!”
“The equipment drawings were created by those equipment refining geniuses through countless failures! How dare this young man modify the formula recklessly?”
“Who the h.e.l.l does he think he is? This is a humiliation for the creator of the Hundred Miles Killer Blade!”
“Although the Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold is a precious metal, he shouldn’t place too much in it for going beyond the limit is as bad as falling short!”
“Humph! This is outrageous! He has crossed the line! Who allowed him to join this contest?”
The people of many big sects were angry.
Even Elder Li, the Deacon of the Equipment Refining Sect who was taking a break with closed eyes, opened his eyes and looked at Xu Que coldly.
Feng Lanwu and the others from the Wind Chamber of Commerce were also surprised. However, they didn’t know that this guy was Xu Que because of Xu Que’s disguise. So, they thought it was just a young man’s mischievous act and shook their heads.
At this time, Xu Que had placed 10,000 points into the refining of the Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold.
Chi!
After a short while, when a plume of white smoke rose up, the refining of the Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold was finished successfully. All the impurities had been removed. Now the metal had been turned into a big drop of translucent liquid which was floating in the air.
The discussions stopped immediately. The onlookers opened their mouths wide with shock.
“My G.o.d!”
“I didn’t expect that this guy, who is just at the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage, could refine the Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold to such a degree!”
Gasp! “How could this be? I can’t find any impurities in it!”
“Holy sh*t! This guy is so fast! I think…it couldn’t even be realized by a Sixth-grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster!”
Many people were shocked. Now not so many people were doubting Xu Que! After all, Xu Que had managed to refine the Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold to such a high grade of purity, which meant he was not here for fun. His basic skill of refining materials could defeat 90 percent of the Equipment Forging Grandmasters!
“Heh, this is quite interesting!” Elder Li, the Deacon of the Equipment Refining Sect, said in a low voice as he looked at Xu Que with a smile. Unknowingly, Xu Que had become the focus through his refining of the first piece of material. The onlookers were shocked again and again when they watched Xu Que’s refining of the rest of the materials.
Xu Que added some Wind & Thunder Devilish Gold and reduced a little bit of Zhen Yi Silver. Then he divided a piece of Ice-Soul Dark Iron into three parts and refined them separately—and the heat controls for the three refineries were different.
This meant he had almost modified the entire formula by adding or reducing the main materials. He even modified the way of refining. His bold actions totally stunned every onlooker in the area. They tried to find fault with him, but this guy’s refining was awesome! The purity of each material was so high that it couldn’t be realized by a Sixth-grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster!
However, they really had a bad feeling about what Xu Que did. How could a young man modify the formula of an equipment! More important, he was just at the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage!
“No! I just can’t help it! Please send someone to check this guy’s ident.i.ty!” At last, a big shot at the Heaven Celestial Stage asked his underling to check Xu Que’s ident.i.ty. He was quite curious about where this strange young man came from and who had allowed him to join the contest!
However, Xu Que ignored the reactions of the big shots by focusing his attention on refining the equipment. After finis.h.i.+ng the refining of all materials, Xu Que started to merge them and carve the rune marks into the equipment. His movements were as smooth as the floating clouds for he didn’t worry about the risk of failure at all. It was not only because of his extraordinary gifts, but also the effect of the Equipment Refining Essence! The Equipment Refining Essence was just like an invisible King Refiner, or a guy who was more powerful than a King Refiner, who guided Xu Que in the refining step by step. So the risk of failure was zero!
Ten hours later, Xu Que was about to perform the last step of his refining. After taking a deep breath, he focused all his attention and was about to shape the equipment and carve the runes for the last time. Actually, it was not necessary for him to be so attentive. Although he was confident of success, he had to pay more attention to it for he would waste ten hours and spend hundreds of thousands of Equipment Refining Essence again if he failed. Also, his tough-acting would also fail in this case, which was unacceptable to him.
Boom!
A powerful Soul Strength gushed out from Xu Que’s body to fix that semi-finished Hundred Miles Killer Blade firmly on the workbench. Then an invisible giant hammer formed by his Taoist Connotation and Soul Strength was smashed down abruptly.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The crisp sounds of metal colliding echoed throughout the Equipment Refining Tower, and were even more sonorous than the hammering sound made by other Equipment Forging Grandmasters. All the powerhouses of the big sects at the Earth Celestial Stage or the Heaven Celestial Stage were staring at Xu Que seriously.
Xu Que’s current progress had gone far beyond their expectations. If this Hundred Miles Killer Blade, of which the formula was modified, could withstand the hammering, it could basically mean that the refining was completed successfully. This result would stun everyone in the area, and even the entire equipment refining industry. After all, it was quite difficult to achieve success after modifying the formula of an equipment.
Clang!
Xu Que hammered the Hundred Miles Killer Blade 81 times to finish the shaping of it. Now this translucent blade was wrapped with a faint golden halo.
Before the onlookers had time to check it with their Soul Strength, Xu Que threw the Hundred Miles Killer Blade into the air. Then his powerful Soul Strength and Taoist Connotation started to carve the rune marks into this blade rapidly. This was the last step which should also be finished without any interruption.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
When sparkles kept falling down, the Hundred Miles Killer Blade became more and more dazzling along with the carving of the rune marks.
Buzz! When Xu Que finished the carving of the last rune mark, the Hundred Miles Killer Blade made an ear-piercing vibrato that echoed in the entire Equipment Refining Tower. Almost at the same time, dazzling golden light gushed out from this brand-new Hundred Miles Killer Blade wrapped in powerful arcs as if it was alive.
Swis.h.!.+
All the powerhouses of the big sects stood up in amazement.
“A sixth-grade equipment?”
“How…could this be?”
“How could he forge a sixth-grade equipment with a drawing of a third-grade equipment?”
“My G.o.d! Who the h*ll is this guy?”
Everyone looked at Xu Que with amazement.
Xu Que waved to them calmly, “Please sit down! This is quite normal for me!”
Whoos.h.!.+
At this time, Elder Li, the Deacon of the Equipment Refining Sect, reached out his trembling hand to activate the spell formation in the Equipment Refining Sect. Then a strand of light hit the Hundred Miles Killer Blade made by Xu Que directly. The next moment, the Hundred Miles Killer Blade trembled a bit to absorb the magnificent Spiritual Qi of the Equipment Refining Tower. Then one star appeared on the blade. Then two stars, three stars… At last, altogether 11 stars appeared on the blade!
Gasp! All the onlookers couldn’t help but gasp at this moment.
Elder Li changed his expression abruptly. Then he announced with a trembling voice, “The evaluation result….is 11 stars! It is a Sixth-grade Supreme Equipment!”
