"Shasha..."
Time passed quickly amidst the continuous sound of quicksand.
Unknowingly, a bright red flame lit up on each iron table, either big or small, extremely strong, or slightly weak.
Thousands of balls of fiery breath criss-crossed and filled the air crazily.
Everyone in the arena focused their attention on the "Light Stone" in their hands. Even if they were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked, they didn't notice it. In addition, the weapon refiners had integrated the "True Fire" ”, the ability to withstand heat is far beyond that of ordinary people.
But the people closest to the arena were already too hot to bear, and they all retreated.
"Poof! Poof..."
About a quarter of an hour later, the faint sound of the flame extinguishing began to sound in the arena.
The first person to complete the gem smelting was neither the red-haired, blue-eyed woman in the yellow dress nor the gorgeously dressed young man, but a very mature-looking man in black, followed by the two of them. , that cute baby-faced girl.
Time flies, and more and more people have completed the smelting of the "Light Stone".
Tang Huan was focused on nothing else, and the white juice condensed on the lower edge of his palm little by little, dripping into the plate. When the entire "Light Stone" melted, Tang Huan kneaded the sticky juice into a ball, placed it in his palm, and then used weaker real fire to wrap it tightly.
The requirement for this first level is to melt the gem, which means that after melting, it must be tempered to completely remove the impurities in the gem juice.
During the whole process, Tang Huan was unhurried and unhurried. After absorbing the heat from Shanshan's body again yesterday, his "True Fire" also condensed again. Compared with when he first absorbed the "Xuanyang Fire Essence", the fire now is only about a quarter of the size it was then.
The condensation of fire makes the flame extremely pure, and the heat emitted by a flame of the same size is doubled.
If Tang Huan wanted to stand out, he could complete the smelting of the "Bright Stone" within half a quarter of an hour.
But in that case, there wouldn't be that unexpected and amazing effect in the end, so Tang Huan was trying his best to slow down. Fortunately, after this period of practice, his control of "True Fire" has become more controllable, otherwise he may not be able to hide it.
The weapon refiners closest to Tang Huan were all focused and did not notice the super heat emanating from the small ball of flame in Tang Huan's palm, nor did they notice the tiny dot of white in the center of the flame.
About two-quarters of an hour later, the flame in Tang Huan's palm quietly extinguished.
Looking at it in the blink of an eye, almost 40% of the weapon refiners have completed smelting the gems, but there are more, and the flames are still flickering in the palms of the weapon refiners.
Among thousands of people, Tang Huan's speed was neither too fast nor too slow.
What follows is waiting.
Listening to the constant rustling sound, and from time to time seeing someone completing the smelting of gems beside them, the pressure on those who were still continuing was increasing, and many people showed anxiety on their faces. Sex, but with this kind of thing, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.
When the time limit was approaching, the flames in the palms of a few weapon refiners were extinguished several times.
"We'll be here in half an hour!"
Under the high platform, the loud rustling suddenly stopped, and at this moment, Qingye's penetrating voice suddenly burst out over the square.
"For those who have not yet completed the refining, please leave the arena and rest on the right side." Qingye had arrived in front of the stage and glanced at him.
"Alas, it failed. It would have been better if it had been longer."
"Even if it's just another half-quarter of an hour, it'll be fine."
"I melted the gem, but the tempering is only halfway through. It's a pity, it's a pity."
“…”
Frustrated voices sounded from time to time, and soon a group of figures left the iron table dejectedly, converging towards the open space on the right side of the high platform.
Tang Huan briefly counted and found that there were hundreds of weapon refiners who failed to complete the task within the time limit.
"Next, let's check!"
As soon as Qingye finished speaking, a dozen figures walked into the arena, either male or female, old or young. They were obviously weapon refiners, most likely mid-level weapon refiners.
Each of them corresponded to two lines and checked all the way.
"The tempering is not complete and it is unqualified!"
"The tempering is not thorough and inappropriate!"
"There are too many impurities remaining, not suitable"
“…”
In the square, similar sounds were heard one after another. The weapon refiners who heard this result felt like they were mourning for their heirs, and left the arena with helpless expressions.
It's not like there were no weapon refiners to protest, but unfortunately it didn't have any effect.
The weapon refiners who were sent here for inspection not only had amazing sensing abilities, but also had extremely sharp eyesight, and the chance of making mistakes was very slim. After they clearly explained the situation of the "Bright Stone" juice, the people who argued were still arrogant. go.
Not long after, a middle-aged woman came across from Tang Huan.
"call!"
A ball of flame roared out from its palm, covering the gem juice on the plate.
Soon, the middle-aged woman finished the inspection and looked at Tang Huan in surprise, but without saying anything, she walked towards a weapon refiner.
It only took more than a quarter of an hour for all the inspections to be completed.
The number of refiners who were dismissed because they failed to pass the inspection was actually more than those who failed to complete the smelting, and even some of the refiners who completed the smelting in advance were also eliminated. Some of the weapon refiners who were lucky enough to pass the test were secretly grateful that they finally got a "Thunder Stone" and a low-level weapon!
There are now less than two thousand weapon refiners standing here, and the arena has become much sparser.
"Congratulations to everyone, you passed the first level of the competition."
Qingye's smile was as bright as a flower, "The next step is the second level, the forging of the knife blank. Now, please take out the 'Spirit Soft Iron' from the drawer."
Everyone acted according to the words, and after a while, a large square piece of iron ore appeared on everyone's table.
This kind of "Spirit Soft Iron" is completely different from iron ores such as "Black Black Iron". It does not need to be burned with furnace fire or forged with a hammer. It can be completed directly with "real fire". When the "real fire" is strong enough, the iron ore will become very soft and can be kneaded like dough.
Of course, something forged from this "spiritual soft iron" is easily broken and damaged and cannot be used against the enemy at all. However, it is very suitable for such an assessment. The skill of a weapon refiner in forging weapons can be easily detected using this "Spirit Soft Iron".
Therefore, whether it is the "Weapon Refining Competition" held every five years in Furang City or any other competition for refining masters, this relatively common "Soft Iron" is often used.
"Second level, start!"
Qingye gave an order, and the remaining weapon refiners moved quickly again.
The weapon refiners who can enter this second level are all of good quality, and there cannot be those who are just trying to make up for their mistakes. Before long, a flame ignited in front of almost everyone. Many weapon refiners who had reservations before now also showed their strength.
It is impossible to exercise this "Spiritual Soft Iron" if the fire is low.
Only when the intensity of the flame exceeds a certain level will the "Spirit Soft Iron" quickly soften. At this second level, there are already very few weapon refiners who can hide their clumsiness.
The handsomely dressed young man glanced at the woman in yellow skirt and others behind him, and there was a little more urgency in his expression.
As for Tang Huan, who was provoked by him at first, he completely forgot about it.
When he saw Tang Huan observe the strength of his opponent before melting the gems, he thought that he was very good at refining weapons like himself. However, the flame that Tang Huan activated next made him disappointed and he completely lost interest in paying attention to Tang Huan. .
Tang Huan was still unhurried, but the flames coming out of his palms were a bit more powerful compared to the first level.
Under the continuous burning of the real fire, it took only about half a quarter of an hour for the "Spirit Soft Iron" to soften. Of course, this kind of softening is not the kind of rotten ball, but rather elastic softness. Tang Huan controlled the flame with his left hand and continued to burn, while his right hand continued to knead the iron block.
