All the participating disciples had finished, and the judges began to comment and score them one by one.
They couldn't wait to pick up Shen Wuyang's dark green spirit sword first. This color of sword is not common, so it must be because he has added some special function to it.
Feng Hanmo, the sect leader of Langya Sect and one of the judges, nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the sword and asked, "Does your spirit sword have any special functions?"
Shen Wuyang cupped his hands and replied, "The sword I forged is called the Ink Spirit Sword. It is a special spirit sword for killing demonic beasts, specifically designed to counter their physical characteristics. Using this sword in battle against demonic beasts can achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Excellent, excellent, fifth-grade superior!" Feng Hanmo praised repeatedly. Shen Wuyang was his most satisfied disciple, and he had indeed brought great honor to the sect.
After reviewing and evaluating several fifth-tier items, and seeing that there were no more fifth-tier items, they decided to start evaluating fourth-tier items.
Just as it was about to begin, Feng Hanmo caught a glimpse of Shi Xuan's stick out of the corner of his eye. Shi Xuan was at the bottom of the list because he was the last to submit his stick.
Wait a minute, this stick... this spiritual energy fluctuation, it seems to be a fifth-tier weapon as well.
Feng Hanmo and another judge from another sect noticed Shi Xuan's stick, which seemed ordinary but also somewhat unusual.
Feng Hanmo took the stick in his hand with a bit of doubt. It was surprisingly heavy, which made Feng Hanmo, who hadn't used any force at first, pause for a moment.
He then used some force to pick up the stick and examine it closely. Unlike the smooth, unmarked stick he had imagined, this stick had dark patterns, but these patterns were not regular and looked like lines arranged randomly.
Feng Hanmo couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't rashly input spiritual power to activate it. Instead, he handed the stick to the other judges so they could take a look.
The others shook their heads after looking at it. They had never seen such a magical artifact before, nor was it recorded in any magical artifact manuals. They also didn't know the purpose of the dark patterns, but they all agreed that the stick was already at the fifth rank.
"Shi Xuan, tell me what's special about this magical artifact."
Shi Xuan cupped his hands and said, "Sect Master Feng, this magical artifact is called Thousand Faces. It can change its form in battle and can be used to target the weaknesses of different enemies."
Although Shi Xuan himself felt that this thousand-face feature was really useless, he still had to explain its functions properly.
"Oh?" Feng Hanmo actually became interested: "How to use it?"
Shi Xuan said, "Place your hand in the middle of the long staff and communicate with the hidden patterns on it using your divine sense."
Following her instructions, Feng Hanmo connected his divine sense to the irregular dark patterns on the long staff. In the next instant, the staff suddenly split open from the dark patterns and transformed into a black and gold longsword.
The black and gold longsword exuded a fierce aura, clearly a high-grade fifth-order magic weapon. Compared to Shen Wuyang's Ink Spirit Sword just now, it was in no way inferior!
If she had taken it out in the form of this longsword just now, they would probably have noticed it immediately!
"Wow!" The crowd erupted in commotion. This ingenious skill was something they hadn't even noticed before; they hadn't seen through the hidden secret of the stick at all!
It's not that no one has made transformable magical artifacts before, but those artifacts showed signs of transformation when they were taken out, and their practicality was not high.
But Shi Xuan's staff, no, it's hard to tell if it's a sword or a staff, before it transforms you can't tell it can transform, and after it transforms you can't tell it has been deformed, it's really exquisite!
But that wasn't the end of it. When Feng Hanmo used his divine sense to activate it again, the black-gold longsword opened from the dark patterns and transformed into a bright silver longsword.
A knife that is in no way inferior to the sword from before.
The back of the blade was engraved with intricate runes and flowed with abundant spiritual energy, making it clear at a glance that it was quite powerful.
This is also a high-grade fifth-tier magic weapon!
Feng Hanmo continued, transforming into four more forms: a meteor hammer, a giant shield, a halberd, and a soft whip, before finally returning to the initial staff shape.
Starting with a long staff, and adding six different forms, a total of seven weapons were created, and then they were seamlessly integrated together!
Feng Hanmo was already somewhat numb. He looked at Shi Xuan, who had just won the championship in the alchemy competition a few days ago because of the fifth-order Heavenly Dao Pill, and he couldn't describe his shock in words.
In three days, he forged seven different fifth-tier weapons. The most difficult part was perfectly combining them together. Only then did he realize that the dark patterns they had seen on the long staff at the beginning were not energy patterns, but rather the residue left from the combination of the weapons.
What does this mean? Just this one move she showed is something that all the disciples of the Langya Sect combined couldn't do!
It turns out that geniuses aren't limited to just one area; she can be a genius in every aspect!
Feng Hanmo turned to look at Shi Mingxiu. What kind of luck did this old guy have to find such a disciple? But Shi Mingxiu also looked surprised. Oh, he remembered. He didn't find him anywhere; he picked up a disciple that the Divine Cauldron Sect threw out from behind!
Feng Hanmo then turned his gaze to Fan Hongde. Old Fan's judgment is really terrible. Shi Xuan is probably the best disciple that their Divine Cauldron Sect has ever received since its establishment, but he has ruthlessly used and abandoned him. The ancestor of the Divine Cauldron Sect is probably so angry that he will rush down from the upper realm and beat him to death.
Not only Feng Hanmo, but all the teachers and elders in the stands were stunned. A person's time and energy are limited; many people dedicate their entire lives to one thing, yet still don't necessarily achieve much, let alone divert their energy to other things. But Shi Xuan had easily won the championship in both alchemy and weapon crafting in the Six Sects Competition…
The audience below the stage was already a little numb from the excitement. They had no hope that Shi Xuan would go on stage to participate in the weapon-refining competition, but who knew that she would shock everyone!
Shi Xuan can actually refine artifacts! How come I've never heard anyone mention this before? If they had this skill, they would be famous throughout the entire cultivation world, let alone someone who cultivates both alchemy and artifact crafting!
The happiest people were none other than the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect. Their cheers were even louder than when they won the Alchemy Championship last time, since this time they not only received honors, but also spirit stones.
Those from Jubaozhai who were also following the match realized the truth after learning the result: Shi Xuan had brought his disciples to bet on him, and they had come prepared!
I regret it a bit. I should have followed their lead and placed bets. In the weapon refining category, apart from the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect, no one chose to bet on Shi Xuan because the odds were too high. This time, they made a fortune!
At the time, they all thought the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect had gone mad, so how could they believe their conclusions?
It seems that Shi Xuan is a man of great hidden talent. Those disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect who bet on Shi Xuan regarding the three aspects of talismans, weapons, and formations may find the outcome of the talismans and formations uncertain.
