"Why did someone ring the bell?"

"That shouldn't be the case. It's only been four minutes."

According to the rules of the competition, the bell can only be pressed in advance when the refining is completed.

If you are not strong enough, you can wait until the end of the game. If you have not completed the refining, you will not be punished. At most, you will get a bad score.

If you ring the bell before the refining is completed, you will definitely be punished, and the punishment will be quite severe.

Even such bad things will be recorded in one's resume, which will have a great impact on future job hunting and other things.

After all, if you dare to give up in a competition of this scale, what will happen if you give up when a company asks you to take on a job in the future? Which company would dare to hire you?

So unless you have a mental problem, you basically won't do this.

The host reacted quickly and shouted, "We just heard a contestant ring the bell. The game is only four minutes in. I wonder if this contestant accidentally hit it. Director, please help us cut the screen and see if this contestant has encountered any problems?"

The director quickly switched the surveillance camera to the competition position where Ye Xiao was.

Frankly speaking, if he hadn't pressed that button, the director would never have switched to his position.

Broadcasting requires ratings to make money. What everyone wants to watch are the top seeded players, geniuses like Yu Qiuxuan and Song Qiufeng, rather than an unknown junior.

However, when they switched the surveillance to that competition position, they were stunned when they saw that the entire competition position was empty.

"What's going on? Where is this kid?"

"That's right, why is he gone?"

"Could he have run away? But if he had, there should have been surveillance footage of him. Why didn't he capture it?"

"Hey, look, there is a dagger on the table. Could it be that he made it?"

Someone has already discovered that a weapon is lying quietly on the table at the competition site.

The host was a little surprised and had no idea what was going on.

"Where did this contestant go? He put an iron sword on the table. What does that mean?"

Everyone was confused, but at this moment, several professors on the judging panel suddenly stood up.

Among them are top domestic weapon refiners such as Zhang Guangyang and Chen Danian! "Wait a minute, there seems to be something wrong with that sword."

The professors' faces were extremely solemn, and they all stared at the weapon.

The audience was naturally far from their level of understanding and able to see what was going on. The two hosts quickly helped everyone to express their thoughts.

Professors Zhang Guangyang and others ignored them and quickly stepped forward to Ye Xiao's competition position and picked up the sword. When they really came into close contact with the sword, all the professors were so excited that their bodies trembled.

"Yes! It really is! I didn't expect that he is actually a sub-emperor soldier!"

"My God, this guy is amazing. He actually used the materials from the competition and refined a sub-emperor weapon in just four minutes! How strong must his weapon refining attainments be?"

It's not that the professors present can't refine a sub-emperor weapon, but if they want to refine a sub-emperor weapon, they must at least collect enough excellent materials and spend several days concentrating on it before they can refine a sub-emperor weapon, and there is also a certain failure rate! But the opponent only has four minutes, and the materials are common materials in the competition.

If the materials were better, they had no doubt that Ye Xiao could easily refine the imperial weapon!

And the time taken will not exceed four minutes by much.

Just this one skill of weapon refining has already won over all the judges in the audience.

It was to kill all the judges, not the contestants! What a monstrous method! You know, these judges are all professor-level weapon refiners selected from major martial arts academies across the country.

Their level is so strong that even if they can't be said to be the best in Kyushu, they are definitely one of the best.

The opponent alone is enough to look down upon the level of the top weapon refiners in Kyushu's top martial arts university.

The audience looked even more confused, so the host asked again: "Professors, what is a sub-emperor weapon? Is it a new professional term? Or is this weapon made in a special way?"

There is not much information about imperial arts and imperial weapons in the whole world. Firstly, ordinary people can hardly touch them. Secondly, these things involve some secrets and are very powerful, so they cannot be shown to others easily.

Zhang Guangyang looked at the dagger in his hand, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:

"You can understand that this sword is the strongest work in the history of the Jiuzhou competition. This contestant's weapon-refining ability is probably not much inferior to us professor-level judges, and may even be far superior to us!"

"What!"

"This is impossible? The other party is just an ordinary contestant!"

"Absolutely impossible. If he could be so evil, I would eat shit live on the Internet."

"It's a lie, it must be a lie."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.

You know, the contestants are all young people under the age of 30. How could a weapon refiner under the age of 30 create the strongest work in all the Kyushu competitions?

Moreover, his weapon-refining ability might even surpass professors like Zhang Guangyang? Is this a joke? But it doesn't seem like a joke.

After all, the person who said this was Zhang Guangyang, the top weapon-refining professor at Shanghai Martial Arts University. Beside him were many top professors from other academies, but no one stood up to accuse him, which means that this matter was 100% true.

The audience at the scene were shocked and skeptical.

The ratings are also rising.

The host whispered:

Then she immediately asked:

"Professor Zhang, Professor Chen, you said that this sword is of a very high level. How did you judge it?"

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Guangyang threw the sword high into the air.

The sword entered the air, paused in the air for a moment, and then made a trembling sound, and then began to circle in the air on its own.

“Fuck!”

The entire audience was collectively dumbfounded.

You know, even a master-level weapon needs to be infused with spiritual energy by the warrior before it can be controlled by the warrior over a short distance in a short period of time.

And this sword has actually begun to absorb spiritual energy on its own.

Absolutely amazing!

This sword is amazing!

"Awesome!"

"You can't refuse to accept it!"

"Dark horse! This is an absolute dark horse! The champion of this competition has been born."

"But who is he?"

As soon as these words came out, the host immediately shouted, "Director, please pull up the surveillance camera footage of this match so that we can confirm his identity."

The director immediately switched over and everyone turned their attention to it.

Even the professors were all staring over there.

They wanted to know Ye Xiao's identity more than these ordinary onlookers.

This is a top-grade weapon refiner that is hard to find in the world. If we can find him, it will be a great blessing for the weapon refinery world in Jiuzhou. I don’t know how many times the level of weapon refinery in Jiuzhou will be improved! However, when the director cut to Ye Xiao’s competition position, the screen was black from beginning to end.

"What's going on? Director, please switch to the video of that contestant immediately."

The director shouted:

"It has been switched, but the screen is black. I didn't capture the other person the entire time."

"What? Such an exciting game was not captured? Is the camera broken?"

"No, the current camera is still fine. It was just interfered with."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's the Grandmaster! His cultivation is above the Grandmaster level, so when he uses his spiritual energy, it can affect electronic equipment, so the camera can't capture his situation."

"Fuck! I was wondering how he could run so fast. Turns out he's an expert above the Grandmaster level. If he were like this, then that would explain why no one saw him disappear."

"This person's weapon refining skills are so strong, and his cultivation is actually that of a master. He is truly a monster!"

Zhang Guangyang and others looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh.

"We all thought that our weapon refining skills were already among the best in Jiuzhou, but we didn't expect to find out today that there are always people who are better than us!

Shame on you, shame on you!"

"But what exactly does he want to do by participating in this game? Since he is here to participate in the game, why doesn't he want to show up and let us see him?"

Chen Danian pondered for a moment, glanced at the podium, and immediately understood what he meant.

He pointed at the spatial amethyst that had disappeared at some unknown time.

"If I guess correctly, he came here for the fifth place prize, the Space Amethyst. He probably participated in the competition just because he didn't want to steal the prize."

"This person is not only strong enough, but also has a high level of weapon refining skills. His character is also respectable! Master, an absolute master! No doubt about it."

Everyone was filled with emotion, and the audience's inner excitement and speculation had been ignited.

All of a sudden, the internet was flooded with discussions about this mysterious contestant.

The speed at which the news spread was unexpectedly fast. In just a few minutes, it became a hot search topic.

"My God, some people used to say that in addition to the masters in the open, there are also hidden masters in Jiuzhou. I didn't believe it, but now it seems to be true."

“He obviously had the ability, but he didn’t take the Space Amethyst directly. Instead, he participated in the competition. In just four minutes, he created a sword that shocked all the judges, and then took the fifth place reward, the Space Amethyst.

This guy is absolutely amazing, love love love!"

"Netizens, if we can't find this expert today, everyone here is guilty!"
