"... The time for the third round of the compet.i.tion shall begin! "
With w.a.n.g Shengjie"s shout, the prelude to the final round of the compet.i.tion finally began.
At this time, in front of every remaining Inferior Grade Heaven Craft, there was a Dao Stone and an iron crystal. All of them were as black as ink. The requirement of the third round was to use this Dao Stone and this iron crystal to forge a low-grade Dao Artifact that was limited to four hours.
A Dao stone and an iron crystal could only forge weapons that were extremely small in size. Generally speaking, four hours was more than enough time.
However, at this moment, many of the lower tier Heaven Casters had bitter expressions on their faces.
The reason was very simple. That stone was the "Dark Feather Dao Stone" and the iron crystal was the "Black Scale Iron Crystal". Among the low grade dao stones and iron crystals, the Dark Feather Dao Stones and the Black Scaled Iron Crystal were cla.s.sified as extremely difficult to smelt. Forging an Inferior Grade Dao weapon from such a material in four hours was extremely difficult.
Even though they were worried that there wouldn"t be enough time, at such a critical juncture, they could only focus on absorbing the celestial spiritual energy and refining the "Immortal Heavenly Yuan".
For low-grade Heavencraft, this step was no longer difficult. It was just that the speed was different.
Tang Huan"s astonis.h.i.+ng performance in the first two rounds caused a vast majority of the surrounding audience"s gazes to fall on him, but having experienced it before, everyone was looking forward to Tang Huan"s performance in the third round even more. However, Tang Huan"s performance this time was not as surprising as before.
From the beginning, Tang Huan"s movements were normal, but everyone once again understood how fast he was.
Including Zhang Yiran and the rest, the low-grade heavenly work only managed to refine around 50% of the "Immortal Heavenly Energy" required to forge the Dao Artifact. Tang Huan had already obtained enough "Immortal Heavenly Energy", and took the "Ink Scale Iron Crystal", and started to use all his might to activate the dao flame.
"Rustle, rustle …"
The sound of the hourgla.s.s continued.
When Tang Huan was forging the Dao Artifacts, he did not display any special methods, but the feeling he gave the surrounding people were all ordinary. The only thing that left a deep impression was Tang Huan"s speed. But even so, no one dared to be so reckless in ridiculing him.
In the process of forging a Dao Artifact, it was for the layman to watch the fun and to see the truth of the matter.
An ordinary cultivator would only feel that Tang Huan"s movements were very fluid. As for whether or not he was any better than Zhang Yi Man, Hua Xiao Yan, Sun Ying Wu and Tao Yang Hui, they could not see through it. But in the eyes of Xue Yu and the others, the situation was completely different from the middle-ranked heaven"s work.
Their Tools Method talent may not be as good as Tang Huan"s, but after living for so many years, their knowledge of Tools Method was extremely astonis.h.i.+ng, and all of them were people with sharp eyes.
When Tang Huan was forging, his control over the firepower, his control over the rhythm of the battle, his control over the temperature of the fire, as well as his control over the timing of each step had all displayed an incomparably shocking level.
To them, watching Tang Huan forge a Dao Artifact was tantamount to having an extremely bad time. Everyone"s eyes were s.h.i.+ning, no one said a word.
Even Du Xinghe, Liu Tiangang, and He Qingzhu, the three middle-grade Heavenly Arts from the Emperor Dragon"s Heavenly Mansion, were no exceptions. Although they had seen the perfect Dao Artifact forged by Tang Huan, it was still their first time seeing the process of Tang Huan forging Dao Artifacts, just like Xue Yu and the others around them.
Their performance was something that affected the experts from the other sects. They were also focused on watching Tang Huan"s every move. For a time, the high platform was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. It was a stark contrast to the bustling crowd around the arena.
After a long while, the flames on Tang Huan"s palm finally disappeared.
After losing the support of the flames, a foot long black spike the size of a mung bean lightly floated into Tang Huan"s right palm. On the surface of the thorns, a layer of black light was flowing like water. From afar, it looked like a spring in an ancient well.
"That"s it? It"s only been two hours, right? "
"What kind of weapon is that? It looks so small."
"To forge a low-grade Dao Artifact in two hours … This speed is truly unrivalled. I just wonder, what is the quality of the low-grade Dao Artifact that he is currently forging?" Superior or or perfect? "
"..."
The moment Tang Huan stopped, the originally bustling and lively arena became even louder, as countless gazes landed on Tang Huan"s palm.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, it was a pity that they were too far apart, and that most of them could only faintly catch a glimpse of the black light lying on Tang Huan"s palm, and before the Heaven Arts Compet.i.tion ended, they, the audience, would not be able to move towards the area where Tang Huan was, in order to avoid any disturbance.
As a result, although the hearts of the cultivators outside the arena were itching, they could only forcefully restrain their emotions.
"Alright!"
On the arena"s high platform, Xue Yu finally lightly clapped his hands and praised. "As expected, your reputation is well-deserved!"
The moment this voice rang out, his gaze fell on the hourgla.s.s. An hour had pa.s.sed since the sand within the hourgla.s.s had leaked out, and now, the hourgla.s.s was being turned over a second time. It had been exactly two hours. Tang Huan only used half the time to finish the forging.
"Tang Huan"s Dao Artifact, at the very least, is of high quality." "This time"s" Heavenly Arts Compet.i.tion ", the first place will be none other than Tang Huan. Congratulations Brother Du, your Huang Long Sky Mansion has indeed taken in a good disciple."
"You"re too kind, too kind." Du Xinghe said with a smile.
"I really want to go over right now and take the low rank Dao Artifact that Tang Huan forged and have a good look at it."
"The whole process was extremely perfect without any flaws. The quality of the low-grade dao tools might have also reached the perfect state."
"..."
Everyone talked at once, not stingy with their praises.
After watching the whole process of Tang Huan forging a Dao Artifact, from their point of view, there was no suspense at all for the first place of the Heaven Arts Compet.i.tion. Looking at the current situation of Zhang Yiren, Hua Xiaoyan, and the others, it was already very good that they were able to successfully forge a top-grade perfect Dao Tool.
Furthermore, even if they were all high grade Dao tools, they would not be able to compare to Tang Huan"s Dao tools in terms of quality.
Although no one had personally experienced the black thorn forged by Tang Huan before, they still had absolute confidence in its quality. Compared to Tang Huan, the quality of the other low rank Heaven Arts"s Dao artifacts were not good. As for the speed at which they were completed, it was like the difference between the heaven and earth.
Tang Huan only used two hours, the rest of the low rank Heaven Arts were estimated to be at least an hour and a half.
Hearing the praises from the surroundings, a strange expression couldn"t help but flash past Xue Yu"s eyes, but he covered it up extremely well. However, when he looked at Tang Huan, the regret that flashed past became denser.
