"All refiners partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion are invited to enter."
In the blink of an eye, Qing Ye had already turned to the right of the stage. Thousands of very young refiners had already gathered at the area where the red coils came from.
Upon hearing Qing Ye"s words, everyone"s expressions changed. Some of them were nervous, some of them were filled with antic.i.p.ation, some of them were confident, and some seemed to be calm and composed.
Tang Huan also took a light breath, as his state of mind gradually calmed down.
Tang Tianren seemed to be a seventh step Martial Grand Master, and the Tang Clan Patriarch was said to be a eighth step Martial Sect. If Tang Huan was not able to reach or surpa.s.s this cultivation realm, it would all be useless.
After a short moment, under the guidance of the two young men, everyone entered.
Not too long after, a refiner stood behind every metal table in the plaza. Unexpectedly, each table was not many, not a single one was missing.
"Everyone, this year"s Weapon Refining Compet.i.tion will be just like the past. There will be three stages."
Qing Ye"s gaze swept across the thousands of refiners as a faint smile appeared on his charming face. "The first stage is the smelting of gems. It has a time limit of one hour."
These words were like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples.
"It can"t be, it"s only been an hour?"
"Wasn"t it always the same hour in the past?"
"Right now, even the Refiners" a.s.sessment has become much stricter. Isn"t it normal to shorten the time limit of the first stage?"
"With just this alone, you should be able to clear a lot of people, right?"
"..."
Many refiners cried out in alarm.
Some people"s expression suddenly changed. One could tell that they had no confidence at all, but there were still a few refiners who remained calm and confident.
The people around the square were also slightly shocked. The noisy sounds once again rang out, and an enormous sound wave surged over the square.
"Completing the smelting of the gem within the time limit and pa.s.sing the inspection will allow you to enter the second stage."
Qing Ye seemed not to have heard the voice as he continued speaking, "The second stage is the training of the tools. This time, the weapons will be the sabers, and the time limit will also be one hour."
"An hour? "It"s shortened again!"
"Oh my G.o.d, how can an hour be enough?" "Exercise, it"s not just about forging or tempering, it"s more about forging and tempering!"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn"t have come here."
"..."
Another round of wails sounded out from within the group of weapons craftsmen.
"If I can pa.s.s the bladework training, it will be the third stage. The fusion of the gem and bladework, the time limit..." Half an hour! " Qing Ye smiled again.
The entire stadium was strangely quiet when she said these words.
To the vast majority of refiners, they might not even be able to pa.s.s the first two stages. As for the final stage, there was no need to pay attention to how much time pa.s.sed. However, after hearing what Qing Ye said, the indifferent refiners" faces turned somewhat ugly to behold.
"Everyone, this year"s Artifact Forging Compet.i.tion will be overseen by two master artificers, Gu Yi and Wu Xin, who have specially travelled here from Heavenly Forging City. Therefore, everyone can be at ease.
If more than one refiner were to pa.s.s the third stage, the results would be judged by the two masters and their rankings would be determined to ensure fairness. "
Qing Ye"s beautiful eyes narrowed as his smile became wider.
"Grandmaster Gu Yi is the previous pavilion master of our Nu Lang (Furious Waves) City. Not long after he was promoted from a high rank blacksmith to a master refiner, he went to the Heavenly Forging City."
"Grandmaster Wu Xin is truly formidable. He"s the youngest Grandmaster Blacksmith."
"With the two master teachers personally evaluating him, the final result will definitely be something no one doubts."
"..."
In an instant, the entire plaza became lively. The people who were originally unaware of the existence of Gu Yi and Wu Xin were also amazed.
Tang Huan could not help but look towards the stage again.
There were a total of ten people on it, the two people in armor were generals that should have come down from the "Plain between Two Continents".
To the right of the two generals were two middle-aged men and an old man. They were naturally the Patriarchs of the three great clans of Nu Lang (Furious Waves) City and Tang Tianren was present as well.
There was still one empty seat left for Mu Kui, and that seat belonged to the Green Leaf Pavilion Mistress. The last seat belonged to a strange old man. Although Tang Huan didn"t recognize it, he had heard someone call out from afar just now. That person should be the owner of the Sta.r.s.ea Weapon Shop, Sea Leviathan.
As for the old man in green, he was Gu Yi, whereas the middle-aged man in white was Wu Xin.
"Everyone, in this year"s compet.i.tion, all partic.i.p.ants will be able to obtain a single "Thunder Light Stone" as a reward. Pa.s.sing the first stage, you can get a low-level weapon worth over 800 gold coins. Pa.s.sing the second stage, you can get a mid-level weapon worth over 2000 gold coins. "
"Pa.s.sing the third stage will allow you to obtain a piece of hemat.i.te and an intermediate gem, the Heaven"s Net Stone!"
"In addition, after the refiners who have pa.s.sed the third stage rank, the third place can receive another high-grade gem, the second place can receive another high-grade gem, the "Black Obsidian Stone". But, not only can the first place receive one gem, the "Black Obsidian Stone", and the first place will receive one gem, and there will also be a special reward, which will be personally informed by Grandmaster Gu Yi." At the end of his speech, Qing Ye"s smile was as beautiful as a blossoming flower.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
The noise from the surroundings of the plaza shook the sky. Within the plaza, cries of surprise also sounded in all directions. The waves of sound were like a thunderclap that surged into the sky.
Hearing that all partic.i.p.ants would be able to obtain a "Thunder Light Stone", those who were originally dispirited and dispirited revealed a happy smile. "Thunder Light Stone" was a low-grade gem worth three hundred gold coins, and was extremely precious.
When they heard about the reward for pa.s.sing the first stage, even more people started cheering.
The prices of low-grade weapons varied, with the lowest being around a hundred gold coins. The highest being a thousand gold coins, and the lowest being a low-grade weapon worth eight hundred gold coins. It could be considered a top-grade low-grade weapon. When they heard that the reward for the second stage was a middle level weapon, everyone was even more excited and kept shouting.
When Qing Ye revealed the rewards of the third stage, the "hemat.i.te" and the "Heavenly Stones", the atmosphere in the plaza reached its peak. However, when they heard the names "Tiger Eye Stone" and "Obsidian Stone", two high-grade gems burst out of Qing Ye"s mouth, everyone went silent.
However, after a short period of silence, even more intense sounds erupted from inside and outside the square.
The "Tiger Eyes Stone" was shaped like a tiger"s eyes. With the weapons it had forged, it was incomparably violent and could cause the Martial Warriors to erupt with a strength that far exceeded one"s own cultivation.
The Obsidian Stone was even more precious than the Tiger"s Eye Stone. It was said that a high grade weapon that could fuse with such a gem would have a miraculous effect in the process of breaking through from a rank 6 Martial Master to a rank 7 Martial Grand Master.
Moreover, according to the rules of the tournament, this kind of reward was superimposed. As long as one pa.s.sed the three trials, they would be able to make a lot of money. What"s more, the first place and the mysterious reward made people look forward to it even more.
It was personally informed by Grandmaster Gu Yi? To obtain the guidance of a master, or to be accepted as his disciple?
Many refiners excitedly tried to guess.
"Divine Armament Hall is indeed rich!" After listening to the chain of rewards, Tang Huan was also deeply moved.
