"Every contestant will receive the same materials. The rules are simple: use these materials and let your imagination run wild to forge a sword. Afterwards, three master judges will evaluate the works and select the winner!"
The voice of Master Ma announcing the rules spread throughout the venue.
The three judges he mentioned were sitting on the judges' bench at this time. They were all well-known figures in Di Nan City. Ninety-nine percent of the people present recognized them.
The three judges are all weapon refining masters. Although they are only at the beginner level, as long as they reach the master level, their status will be extremely high.
Because in the entire weapon refining circle, there are very few masters.
Each of them is extremely gifted and has shown extraordinary talent in refining weapons since childhood. They have immersed themselves in it for most of their lives and have achieved what they have today.
So we can see that any master is quite old, and the youngest is over fifty years old.
"Who do you think is most likely to be the winner this time?"
The grandmaster judge with a long beard in the middle looked to both sides and asked with a smile.
"I'm more optimistic about the kid from the Mo family." said the judge on the left.
"I'm the opposite of you. I'm optimistic about the kid from the Zhang family." said the judge on the right.
"Haha, if you ask me, the difference in level between these two little guys is not too big. They are both at the level of intermediate weapon refiners. It all depends on how they perform on the spot."
The long-bearded judge laughed.
Not only the judges thought that the outcome of this weapon refining competition would be decided between Mo Baifan and Zhang Biao.
The others also thought so and had already made up their minds. They just had to wait and see how these two people performed.
And somewhere in the audience.
A special area has been set aside here with soft chairs. Not only are there waiters on call, but there are also a variety of snacks and drinks.
In short, it is located in the middle and the service is very good.
Those who can sit inside are all from important backgrounds, such as people from various aristocratic families.
For example, the Mo family and the Zhang family, two major weapon-making families, had members present.
Among those present was a junior weapon refining master!
This shows how much they value this game.
After all, in such an open competition, no matter what your performance is, it will be spread out.
Perform well, bring honor to the family, and cultivate outstanding children.
If you perform poorly, people may not dare to say anything about it in public, but you will inevitably be criticized behind your back.
The people from the two families live next to each other.
On the surface, the communication was normal, but there was a hint of hostility in the words.
There were obviously hundreds of people participating in this competition, but everyone from the judges to the audience felt from the bottom of their hearts that this was a decisive battle between Mo Baifan and Zhang Biao.
Even many contestants think so in their hearts.
…
In the arena.
The contestants opened their material packets.
"Cang Yu Crystal, Crimson Iron, Cloud Scale Mother..."
Various materials were displayed before the crowd, and there were dozens of them in total.
All of them are first-level materials. For weapon refiners, these are just very basic and low-level materials.
"If we use these seven combinations... we should be able to refine a top-grade, first-class knife."
"But it's still not enough. If I can come up with this plan, Zhang Biao can definitely do it, so I can't guarantee a sure win."
Mo Baifan stared at the big bag of materials, deep in thought.
These materials are not only the lowest level, but also a very common category within the first level.
If it is not specially matched, the things refined will usually be of low quality at the first level, and the better ones can reach medium quality.
With careful matching and the use of some superb refining techniques, it can reach the first-class quality.
In Mo Baifan’s ideal, he would be able to refine a top-grade product.
In that case, we can almost guarantee the championship.
Not only Mo Baifan thought so, Zhang Biao also thought so.
But with just this pile of broken materials, no matter how hard you try, it's like a cook without rice, and it's difficult to reach the first-class quality.
Therefore, seemingly simple questions can be difficult to solve in practice.
"I don't know if I can succeed in refining it."
Chen Cang, who was standing next to Ye Feng, was muttering as he looked at a bag of materials.
Others are thinking about how to refine higher quality products, while the members of the atmosphere group are thinking about whether they can succeed in refining them.
Just like refining elixirs, refining equipment also has a success rate.
Even though what needs to be refined now is only the lowest level weapon, if the basic skills are not enough, the probability of failure is still very high.
"Never mind, just treat it as a joke. Brother, don't you agree?"
Chen Cang turned and looked at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng looked lazy and glanced at the materials casually without even looking at them seriously.
Chen Cang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, saying that they were just here to have fun, and he was the one who shouted the loudest, but when it came to actually taking action, he was still thinking seriously.
Or the guy next to him has a positive attitude, he didn't even look at the materials seriously, this is the real casual play.
What he didn't know was that with just a few casual glances, Ye Feng had already come up with thousands of plans in his mind.
The lower the level of something, the more thoroughly it is studied.
And the more he can play with it, the more it proves that he is capable.
This is why the competition tests such low-level things.
It is very universal and anyone can get started, but it can also help people show their differences in ability.
"I have at least eight hundred ways to refine a top-grade product."
"But this level alone is not enough to satisfy me."
"If it's level two... I have hundreds of ways to do it!"
This is the horror of a high-level weapon refining master. With just a bunch of ordinary first-level materials, he can find a way to refine a second-level weapon.
It requires not only a wonderful combination of materials, but also extremely exquisite skills to ultimately achieve a superior effect.
"Let's try it out and see how far we can go."
The other members of the atmosphere group were just having fun, and Ye Feng also felt that they were having fun.
Although he has mastered the abilities of a high-level grandmaster, this is Ye Feng's first time refining equipment, and it feels quite novel.
The first step requires starting a fire.
Every weapon refiner needs to have a natural talent for fire, otherwise he will not be able to perform the fire refining technique.
call!
As Ye Feng practiced the Fire Refining Technique, the fire energy in his body circulated, condensed into flames, and injected into the refining furnace.
The pure blue and white flames instantly filled the entire alchemy furnace.
Chen Cang nearby was startled.
He was still in the stage of struggling to start a fire. This step was quite difficult for someone of his strength and would take some time.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng, who was nearby, started the fire in the blink of an eye without noticing.
"Why do I feel like the temperature is a little off?"
Chen Cang was a little confused.
The temperature coming from Ye Feng's refining furnace was much higher than expected.
