After hearing what the master said, Qiu Feng's eyes showed a hint of fiery fighting spirit.

It is said that throughout history, success and failure are all in vain, but who doesn’t want to be the most dazzling peak?

Whether it's a weapon refiner or a warrior, there will always be a winner and a loser.

If we lose our opponents, lose the sense of winning and losing, and lose the sense of comparison, it will be difficult for life to have meaning.

At least, that's the case for most people.

"In order to ensure your victory, I have specially selected three materials for you.

This is the material that I selected after years of research and careful consideration of the competition system. It will not cause you to lose points for using your own materials, and it can also improve the quality of your refining equipment."

There was a hint of rejection on Qiu Feng's face.

"Teacher, I."

The professor waved his hand and smiled faintly, "Do you think I, Chen Danian, can't afford to play around? Do some tricks?"

Qiu Feng didn't say anything, but Chen Danian continued, "Child, there is no absolute justice in this world. There is only one first place. If you don't get it, someone else will. The gap between first place and second place is something you can never imagine.

For someone like me, before I won the first place, it was extremely difficult to even be evaluated as an associate professor. Later, after I won the first place, I was directly promoted to a full professor in the college.

There are huge differences between the living conditions and teaching resources.

Besides, you don’t really think that Zhang Guangyang’s disciples won’t bring materials into the venue, right?

Who doesn’t rack their brains and try their best to get the first place? Not just them and us, but also the third, fourth, and fifth place. I tell you, as long as they have the conditions, they will bring in a certain amount of materials. "

"So that's how it is. Now I know."

Seeing that his disciple understood, Chen Danian nodded with satisfaction.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the next day. When Ye Xiao woke up from meditation the next morning, Jin Shu had already practiced the earth escape technique to the state of great perfection.

It is ready to use.

Ye Xiao immediately used the earth escape technique and drilled directly into the ground.

The light around was pitch black, but the earth escape technique had a certain perception that allowed it to sense changes in the surrounding situation.

For example, is there a manure pit or something like that in front?

At the same time, Ye Xiao also tested the speed of the Earth Escape Technique, and it was indeed much slower than the Divine Will Technique.

However, this does not mean that the Earth Escape Technique has no effect at all.

When the Divine Will Technique encounters danger, the only thing one can do is run away, but when the Earth Escape Technique encounters danger, one can escape underground to save one's life.

All I can say is that each has its own merits.

Moreover, Ye Xiao thought of a combo, using the Earth Escape Technique in conjunction with the Divine Will Technique, switching back and forth. In battle, he should be able to perform unexpected combos.

What a perfect move! So cool.

At this time, the competition time was almost up. Ye Xiao thought about it and immediately used the earth escape technique to drive towards the competition venue.

However, when he came to the bottom of the Shanghai River, he inadvertently broke into a seal.

"here it is?"

Ye Xiao was a little stunned, and soon after, a sinister voice sounded in his ears.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss. I never thought that a little human brat would break into the seal. I haven’t tasted human flesh for a long time. It seems that today, I will have to eat meat. Hiss, hiss.”

After hearing this voice and taking a glance with Taixuan Tiangang, Ye Xiao immediately understood what was going on.

Just like in Jianghai City, they would seal powerful star beasts and use them as the centerpiece of a formation to create a spirit gathering formation to help the city absorb spiritual energy.

There must be some in Shanghai as well.

Moreover, as the top-tier martial arts city in Kyushu, Hucheng may have more sealed star beasts.

Therefore, he accidentally entered one of the seals without paying attention. Inside this seal, there was a congenital seventh-grade black earth python.

Ye Xiao had seen in the Encyclopedia of Star Beasts that the Black Earth Python had delicious meat, rich blood, and abundant spiritual energy.

It is also a very good tonic.

At this time, the Black Earth Python could not wait to launch an attack.

It opened its bloody mouth, and because of its huge size, it was able to absorb a lot of air in the instant it breathed, resulting in bursts of violent "hissing" sounds, as if all the air was sucked into a big black hole at once.

"Feel the suffocation of death, human!"

The Black Earth Python passed away, but not peacefully.

Because it's too big.

Ye Xiao’s current space storage ring cannot completely hold it.

His space storage ring was only equivalent to the size of two three-story villas, while the entire body of the Black Earth Python was larger than one and a half villas, not to mention that there were also the corpses of several other star beasts and some materials in the villa.

Therefore, Ye Xiao could only cut it into pieces and pack as much as he could.

What made it feel even more desperate and painful was that Ye Xiao also sealed its soul in one part of it.

Because Ye Xiao wants to resurrect him later to keep him alive, and without a soul, healing magic cannot do that.

This also means that its future fate will not be easy.

Soon, Ye Xiao arrived at the competition venue.

At this time, the equipment refiners participating in the competition have entered the competition venue one by one.

Yu Qiuxuan, a talented weapon-making girl and the favorite student of weapon-making master Professor Zhang Guangyang at the Shanghai Martial Arts Academy.

Song Qiufeng, the favorite student of weapon training master Professor Chen Danian at Jingzhou Martial Arts Academy.

Bai Yishui is the favorite student of weapon training master Professor Wang Chunyu of Shangqing Martial Arts Academy.

Basically, they are the favorite students of weapon masters from several top martial arts academies in the country, and each of them comes from a famous school.

People like them are basically the top few people selected in the competition.

There is no other way. The teaching resources are good and are among the best in the country. Plus, if they have a little talent, they can easily refine top-quality things.

Others, on the other hand, have poor teaching quality, poor practice resources, and even poorer talent.

Before we even started, we were already so far behind others.

There is a saying that goes, some people’s starting point is others’ ending point.

But Ye Xiao was not interested in these people, nor did he have much interest in the first place.

There was only one thing he was interested in, and that was the reward for fifth place in the competition, the space amethyst.

Soon, he entered the arena and found his position.

All the equipment refiners are separated to prevent some people from having an unbalanced mentality and affecting the participation of others.

The materials for the competition have been prepared, and there will be cameras monitoring the entire process.

But this camera is completely useless to Ye Xiao.

If he wants to refine a weapon, he will definitely use spiritual energy. Even if it is just a tiny bit, he is still a powerful person from the Divine Sect.

In this case, the magnetic field around the body is enough to make the surveillance camera ineffective.

When the competition started, Ye Xiao took a glance at the materials. In an instant, an idea came to his mind, so he started refining decisively.

At the same time, the commentator on the podium began to communicate with the judges and judged the weapon refiners displayed on the big screen one by one.

After all, for such a big event, it is definitely necessary to do live broadcast to generate some revenue.

The hosts are a man and a woman, which is very consistent with the official fixed model of Kyushu.

The standard for men and women to work together without getting tired.

"Okay, dear friends at the scene and in front of the TV, what you are watching now is the live broadcast of the 103rd Equipment Refiner Competition, Jiuzhou Competition, broadcast by Shanghai TV.

Now we can see that the contestants have officially started the competition."

The host talked a lot of nonsense before finally getting to the point.

“It is said that there are many seeded players in this competition.

Like Yu Qiuxuan, the talented weapon-making girl from the Shanghai Martial Arts Academy.

Song Qiufeng, the weapon-refining genius of Jingzhou Martial Arts Academy.

They all have outstanding talents and are from famous schools. They have won many awards in many international youth competitions.”

The staff behind the scenes who controlled the big screen were also very capable. When the host just mentioned a few geniuses, their images were directly switched to the big screen.

The audience was immediately attracted to it.

"Hiss, as expected of a famous master, these young men are so amazing."

As the saying goes, an expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look.

Those watching the competition were mainly weapon refiners, so many people could immediately feel the high level of weapon refining skills of the crowd.

"That Yu Qiuxuan's technique is indeed exquisite. Look at her purification speed. In just one minute, she has already purified one-fifth of the material. It is estimated that the purification will be completed in five minutes."

"It's too abnormal. Others may need an hour to purify, but she can complete it in five minutes. Then the forging time later will probably not be long either."

"The race time is a big plus. She's so fast, so I'm afraid she'll get a lot of extra points."

"That Song Qiufeng is not bad either, just a little slower than Yu Qiuxuan, but the purity of his refinement seems to be more refined than Yu Qiuxuan's. In this case, his forging speed may exceed Yu Qiuxuan's. The two will offset each other, and it's hard to say who will win or lose."

"Zi Zi, after all, a good teacher produces good students. Their teachers are all the best in our Jiuzhou weapon refining world, so naturally their performance will not be too bad.

I estimate that they will be able to complete the race in just one hour.”

"It seems that the top few places in this competition will fall into the hands of a few of them."

Everyone's eyes were filled with envy. They were all very young, and they had such profound attainments in the art of refining equipment. Their future was limitless, and a successful life was almost predetermined.

Sitting on the jury, Chen Danian glanced at his old rival Zhang Guangyang not far away, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

For this competition, he passed on his unique forging skills to his apprentice.

Song Qiufeng's true level will be revealed during the forging process later.

At that time, it was the real climax of the competition! People would be shocked to see his apprentice Song Qiufeng surpass Zhang Guangyang's beloved apprentice Yu Qiuxuan and become the champion of this Jiuzhou competition! But! Just when everyone thought that the result of the competition had been determined, the next second, a refining position on the field suddenly pressed the end button, and the big red light suddenly lit up. The dull and loud sound suddenly shocked everyone in the audience.

One update, three thousand.
