There are more people in this class, so the amount of tasks in the first round has been slightly increased in order to screen out the real weapon-refining geniuses more quickly.
Several deacons quickly distributed the basic materials of ten pieces of rock iron, which was a full thousand pieces of unrefined pig iron.
With an order, the game timing officially started.
Yanliang adjusted the temperature of the ground furnace to the maximum, leaving ten pieces of pig iron, and threw the rest into the ground furnace, and then wrapped the pig iron in his hand with spiritual fire to calcine and refine it.
Skillfully controlling the pig iron in his hand, he rolled it up, down, left and right, and the spiritual fire burned every part evenly. The impurities were quickly burned out, and the pig iron shrank rapidly in his hand.
A part of the pig iron under the ground stove was already red-hot, and the ten pieces in his hand had been refined. He put them into a container on the side and waited for the purity to be tested.
The pig iron in the ground furnace was wrapped with spiritual power and turned over, so that the red-hot part reached the top of the ground furnace.
He turned his head slightly and took a look at Yun'er. Her speed was almost the same as his, and they even used the same method.
Yun'er seemed to sense something and turned her head to look at him. The two of them couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Yanliang wrapped nearly a hundred pieces of pig iron that were already red-hot and hung them in the air. He mobilized the strong spiritual power in his body, and with a sudden movement, the spiritual fire expanded ten times in an instant.
This first round is a knockout round. Speed, skill, physical fitness and technical level are all indispensable. It also tests the mental quality of the contestants.
Because this task is arduous and time is tight, you must maintain a stable state throughout the entire process and must not make mistakes while busy, otherwise you will face elimination if you fail.
Most people's eyes fell on the three people in the first row. They were the favorites to win the championship.
These three people represent the three top weapon-refining sects in Xilingzhou, and they were also the top three sects in the previous session.
Especially the man on the training platform No. 3 was recognized by many people.
His name is Xiang Junde, and he was the third runner-up last time. He continues to participate this time just to win the championship.
I saw that he was about twenty-three or four years old, with thick and clear eyebrows like lacquer, and his big eyes like copper bells, staring proudly at the rolling pig iron in his hands.
A pair of big palm-leaf-like hands were covered with veins, and up were the thick arms. An ordinary black gown could not hide the tall and mighty figure.
With the cultivation of the second level of Lingzong revealed, the majestic spiritual power rolled out, wrapped around hundreds of pieces of pig iron, and was quickly calcined and refined.
The men on Stage 1 and Stage 2 are younger and have slightly lower cultivation levels, but they have all entered the first level of Lingzong.
They are also wrapping nearly a hundred pieces of pig iron one by one and refining them with all their strength. The steps and methods are basically the same, and it is difficult to see the big difference at first.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiang Junde took the lead in completing the first item. After testing, the purity of all the pig iron extracted was about 85%.
He glanced at the other contestants in the field and showed a proud look, "I have trained hard for three years for this day, and I must be the champion this time!"
When he glanced at the training platform No. 5, his eyes couldn't help but pause for a moment, "I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful person in our team of weapon refiners. This is really rare..."
After taking a deep look at her, he put his thoughts away and began to enter the second step of tempering the rock iron.
This requires hammering pig iron into steel and then hammering the steel into rock iron, which is the most time-consuming part of the game.
Fortunately, each competition position is equipped with a shielding light curtain, otherwise the clanging sound will definitely affect the performance of other contestants.
Then the two people from Station 1 and Station 2 also completed the work one after another. The time consumption and quality of the two people were almost the same, and the purity of the pig iron was close to about 85%.
Yan Liang has not used telekinesis and soul fire at this level, nor has he used his full strength. He maintained a stable speed and refined it leisurely.
Although his cultivation level is only at the ninth level of the Great Spiritual Master, his spiritual power is several times that of ordinary people, or even more. With the support of such spiritual power, the refining is almost completed.
A moment later, Yun'er completed the refining at the same time as him. Her level of weapon refining has now reached the peak of a weapon refining master, and there is a possibility of a breakthrough at any time.
The elders who had been waiting for a long time came forward one after another. After careful inspection, they announced that the purity of the pig iron she refined was close to 85%.
This result immediately attracted the attention of many forces, and some forces began to discuss it.
"This girl is so young. Not only can she keep up with their speed, but her purity is almost the same, which is amazing!" "To have such a skill level at such an age, this kind of talent for refining weapons is really rare..."
"This shouldn't be the case. You see, her cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Great Spiritual Master, and her cultivation talent is also very high..."
"Well, it deserves our attention..."
While Yun'er was being inspected here, the elder on the training platform No. 4 opened his mouth wide. He couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and then he lifted the entire container and walked to the high platform.
While everyone was stunned, the elder came to the side of the high platform and handed it to the vice president, "I checked it and found that the purity has reached 90%. I am afraid that my eyesight is dim, so I brought it to the vice president. Check again."
When Wen Zimo heard this, he immediately became interested and quickly checked it carefully. The smile on his face became wider and wider, "Yes, it has indeed reached 90%."
The elder quickly used his spiritual power to hold up the container, sent it to its original place, and announced the identification results at the same time.
This immediately caused quite a stir, with some people praising it and others criticizing it, with mixed reviews.
"Isn't it a waste of time to refine such a high purity in the first step..."
"Isn't that right? If he lowers his purity, maybe he will be the first one just now..."
"Maybe he is really capable, and this little time is not important to him..."
"This first event is the elimination round. No matter how high the purity is, it is useless. I don't know if I am really capable or stupid..."
A one-armed old man sat in the corner, watching him silently, and said with a smile: "It's just that the world can't see through you!"
In addition, there were some people who had seen him take action that day, but this was only the first item. After some discussion, everyone began to pay attention silently.
Yan Liang lowered the temperature of the ground furnace and put the refined pig iron into the ground furnace, allowing them to remain slowly heated.
The last batch of eight groups extracted were placed on the top, because they were still glowing red, so it was just right to use them for tempering at this moment.
They were wrapped in spiritual power and placed one by one on the huge forging table. Groups of ten pieces were neatly stacked on top of each other. Then they picked up the forging hammer and smashed it down.
There was a loud "boom"!
The entire forging platform trembled. If it weren't for the blessing of the formation, the ground would sink.
The group of pig irons were immediately tightly bonded together by the hammer, and the texture of the pig iron in the center obviously changed.
The second hammer swung up and hit the second group. The Jiuxiao Hammer Technique would control the impact point of each hammer drop. The forging hammer continued to fall on those groups of pig iron.
With the continuous falling, the eight groups of pig iron were continuously squeezed and shrunk and underwent qualitative changes, but the loud noise on the forging platform never diminished.
After each group of pig iron was tempered five times, the texture had undergone earth-shaking changes, and pieces of extremely high-quality steel had been tempered.
This training speed has far exceeded that of other participants, and even the three people in the first row who are the favorites to win are lagging far behind.
Some observing forces have begun to secretly inquire about Yan Liang's identity. Even the president Gu Xiu Ming was amazed, "This physical strength is even inferior to me!"
Ghost Ax narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the young man with a deep look, "There may be more surprises later..."
"Oh, you think so highly of him?"
"President Gu may wish to wait and see!"
The middle-aged man with quite an imperial majesty began to think deeply, because he had the impression that there was no such outstanding young genius in the Daliang Empire.
He thought for a while, but couldn't help but look at President Gu and said, "President Gu, I wonder which force this young man comes from?"
"Emperor, wait a moment..."
President Gu hurriedly asked an elder to bring the registration form and found the registration information in the No. 4 entry card column. "Hey, that young man turned out to be from Tianbao Pavilion. Will they rise again after their downfall?"
"It turned out to be the power of the Western Wen Dynasty..."
At this time, Xiang Junde's first batch of seven pieces of steel had been completed. He couldn't help but raise his head and look at the VIP area and the viewing area.
Seeing everyone talking and pointing, some people were still shouting wildly, and some people showed expressions of appreciation, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.
But after taking a closer look, I felt something was wrong. Although their eyes were looking in my direction, they seemed to be a little off, and they looked behind them along the line of sight.
The young man on Channel 4 had already tempered the first batch, and the number was one more than his own. His face could not help but become serious, and he hurriedly turned around to continue tempering.
There was already a lot of red-hot pig iron in the underground furnace. Yanliang's spiritual power wrapped more pig iron, stacked them as before, and smashed them down with a hammer at the right time.
His physical strength has long been exposed, so he decided to go all out in this area from the beginning.
Firstly, it is to attract the attention of all parties to a great extent, and secondly, it is also to prove that more than a year of hard work has not been in vain.
His consciousness completely sank into the tempering, and his tempering skills were displayed to the greatest extent.
Gradually, he entered a strange state, and his seemingly perfect strike seemed to still have room for improvement.
Following this feeling, the speed of the exercise became faster and faster, and each stroke was more perfect than before.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
Pieces of pig iron were hammered into steel, and from steel into rock iron.
Half an hour later, when he gave the final blow, the whole place began to boil, and the previous doubts had long since disappeared.
Because there are ten pieces of rock iron placed on his forging table, this means that he has reached the absolute pinnacle in his rock iron tempering skills.
"I have never heard that the success rate of tempering rock iron is 100%..."
"As far as I know, we are unique in the history of Xilingzhou..."
Yue'er looked at the figure that moved her countless times, and her eyes became moist again. She knew how hard it was to achieve this step, "Brother Yanliang, congratulations on your breakthrough again..."
Yan Liang felt something, and turned around to look at Yue'er. The two eyes were tightly intertwined, and each could understand what the other was thinking with just one look.
President Gu stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "This, this is 100%..."
After saying that, he grabbed it from the air with his right hand, and ten pieces of rock iron were in front of him. After some appraisal, he became even more excited, "This is the best, 100% the best. Lord Ghost Axe, can you do it with your current tempering skills?" ?”
Ghost Ax shook his head and stared closely at the figure, as if there was light shining out of his eyes. "That can only be achieved by the legendary realm. How far has he... reached this point..."
The emperor looked at the young man and wondered what he was thinking, "It seems that this class will produce another peerless genius. There will probably be no suspense in the future..."
Xiang Junde had just finished tempering the eighth set of materials at this time. Looking at the seventh piece of rock iron that was successfully tempered in front of him, he felt a little complacent.
But when he looked at Channel 4 again, his eyes suddenly widened, and his face instantly became extremely ugly, "This, how is this possible..."
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Unwilling to do so, he hurriedly calmed down and began to exercise happily, but the high pressure still affected his performance.
There are nine pieces of rock iron on Yanliang's forging table, and there is one piece of rock iron being smelted in his hand. He has already started to forge the third-level spiritual sword.
The rock iron was gradually burned red by the spiritual fire. He placed the rock iron on the forging table and started the preliminary shaping with a large forging hammer, and then slowly adjusted it with a medium-sized forging hammer.
After forming a rough blank, he used a forging hammer to start slowly refining it. He had completed this whole set of procedures countless times, and it was completed with ease.
Originally, it was enough to calcine and shape it at the end, but seeing that there was still a lot of time left, he started carving the runes. This step was originally not regulated.
But before, Deacon Meng said that those with excellent quality could be auctioned on site, so he thought that the price would increase a lot if the runes were engraved on them.
After carving the explosion cracks, he calcined it again and finalized it. The third-level spirit sword was forged and he was also the first to complete the three competition events in the first round.
This spiritual sword was hurriedly sent to the high platform after the elder took a look at it. President Gu and Ghost Ax carefully appraised it and gave it a high evaluation.
He also announced in front of all the powerful people that this third-level top-quality spiritual sword would be auctioned on-site later.
For a time, all the forces were ready to make a move. They could buy it at a high price, because this was a great opportunity to form a relationship with Yanliang.
At this time, people kept abstaining from the game because there were too many tasks and the time left was simply not enough for them.
There were also people who failed one after another in panic, and their success rate was less than 70%, so they were eliminated.
It took more than a quarter of an hour before Channels 1 to 3 completed all the projects one after another and qualified for the next round.
Not long after, Yun'er also successfully forged the third-level spirit sword, completed all the projects, and qualified to enter the next round.
