"Rustling ......"

In the continuous sound of quicksand, time passed quickly.

Unconsciously, on each iron table, a red flame lit up, large or small, or extremely strong, or slightly weak.

Thousands of clusters of fiery aura crisscrossed the air, filling the air wildly.

Everyone in the arena focused their attention on the "Bright Stone" in their palms, even if they were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked, they were all unconscious, plus the refiners had fused the "True Fire", and their ability to withstand heat was far beyond ordinary people.

But the part of the people who were closest to the arena around them was already unbearably hot, and they all retreated.

"Poof! poof......"

After about a quarter of an hour, the faint sound of the flames extinguishing began to resound in the arena.

The first to complete the gem melting was neither the red-haired woman in the yellow dress, nor the richly dressed young man, but a man in black who looked very old, then the two of them, and then the cute baby-faced girl.

Time flies, and more and more people complete the melting of the "Bright Stone".

Tang Huan had no distractions, and the white juice condensed little by little under the palm of his hand and dripped onto the plate. When the entire "Bright Stone" had melted, Tang Huan kneaded the viscous juice into a ball again, placed it in his palm, and then wrapped it tightly with a weaker true fire.

The requirement of this first level is to melt the gemstone, which means that after melting, it must also be quenched to completely remove impurities from the gem juice.

During the whole process, Tang Huan was unhurried. After absorbing the heat in Shanshan's body again yesterday, his "True Fire" fire also condensed again. Compared to when he had just absorbed the "Xuanyang Fire Essence", the current fire was almost a quarter of the size of the time.

The condensation of the fire made the flame extremely pure, and the heat emitted by a flame of the same size was multiplied.

If Tang Huan wants to be in the limelight, he can complete the smelting of the "Bright Stone" in half an hour.

But in that case, there would be no such 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 heartfelt, otherwise he may not be able to hide it.

The part of the refiners closest to Tang Huan were all mentally focused, and they didn't notice the super heat emanating from the small flame in Tang Huan's palm, let alone the extremely subtle white of the small dot at the center of the flame.

About two quarters of an hour later, the flame in Tang Huan's palm quietly extinguished.

In the blink of an eye, almost forty percent of the refiners had already completed the smelting of the gems, but there were many more, and the flames were still flickering in the refiners' palms.

Among thousands of people, Tang Huan's speed is neither fast nor slow.

The next thing is to wait.

Listening to the constant rustling sound, coupled with the fact that from time to time I saw someone beside me completing the melting of the gem, the pressure on those refiners who were still continuing was increasing, and many people's faces showed anxious looks, but the more anxious they were, the easier it was to make mistakes.

When the time limit was approaching, the flames in the palms of a small number of refiners were extinguished several times.

"Half an hour is coming!"

Under the high platform, the loud rustling sound suddenly stopped, and at this moment, the sound of Aoba's penetrating power suddenly burst out over the square.

"Alchemists who have not yet completed the melting, please leave the arena and rest on the right side. Aoba had already arrived at the stage, and his eyes swept over.

"Alas, it failed, if only it had taken a little longer. ”

"Even if it were half an hour longer. ”

"I've melted the gem, but I'm only halfway through the refinement, alas, alas. ”

“……”

Dejected voices rang out from time to time, and a series of figures left the iron table depressedly and converged towards the open space on the right side of the high platform.

Tang Huan counted slightly, and the number of refiners who did not complete it within the time limit was actually as many as hundreds.

"Now, let's put it to the test!"

As soon as Aoba's voice fell, more than a dozen figures walked into the arena, male or female, old or young, obviously all refiners, most likely mid-level refiners.

Each of them corresponds to two lines, and they check all the way.

"The tempering is incomplete, unqualified!"

"The tempering is not thorough, it is not suitable!"

"Too much impurity residue and not suitable"

“……”

In the square, similar voices came and went, and the refiners who heard this result were all like mourners, crying and leaving the arena helplessly.

It wasn't that there was no refiner to argue, but unfortunately it didn't make any difference.

The refiners who were sent to inspect not only had amazing sensing abilities, but also had extremely good eyesight, and the chances of making mistakes were very small, and when they explained the condition of the "Bright Stone" sap clearly, the person who argued finally obediently left.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged woman to come across from Tang Huan.

"Whew!"

A flame erupted from its palm, covering the plate with the sap of the gem.

Soon, the middle-aged woman finished the inspection, looked at Tang Huan in surprise, but didn't say anything, and walked towards a refiner.

It only took a little more than a quarter of an hour for all the inspections to be completed.

There are actually more refiners who have been brushed down because they have failed the inspection than those who have not completed the smelting, and even some refiners who have completed the smelting ahead of schedule have also been eliminated. Some refiners who were lucky enough to pass the test were secretly glad that a "Thunder Light Stone" and a low-level weapon were finally in hand!

There are less than 2,000 refiners still standing here, and the arena has become a lot more sparse.

"Congratulations to all of you for passing the first hurdle of the competition. ”

Aoba smiled like a flower, "Next, it's the second level, the forging of the knife blank." Now, please take out the 'Lingrou Iron' from the drawer. ”

Everyone moved according to their words, and after a while, there was a large square piece of iron ore on everyone's table.

This kind of "Lingrou Iron" is completely different from iron ore such as "Black Iron", it does not need to be burned with furnace fire or hammer forging at all, and can be directly completed with "real fire". When the "real fire" is strong enough to a certain extent, this iron ore will become very soft and can be kneaded like dough.

Of course, forged from this "Lingrou Iron" is very easy to break and damage, and it cannot be used against the enemy at all, but it is very suitable for such an assessment. The level of forging weapons at the level of a refiner can be easily detected with this "Spiritual Soft Iron".

Therefore, whether it is the five-year "Instrument Refining Competition" in Angry Wave City, or any other refiner's competition, this relatively common "Lingrou Iron" is often used.

"Level 2, begin!"

Aoba gave an order, and the remaining refiners sprang into action again.

The refiners who can enter this second level are all of a good level, and it is impossible for there to be a guy who is indiscriminate. It didn't take long for a flame to ignite in front of almost everyone. Many refiners who had previously been retained also used their strength to eat milk at this time.

Exercising this "Spiritual Iron", the fire is not good at all.

Only when the intensity of the flame exceeds a certain level will the "Spirit Soft Iron" quickly soften. In this second level, there are already very few refiners who can still hide clumsiness.

The beautifully dressed young man's gaze swept over the woman in the yellow dress and the others behind him, and there was a little more urgency in his expression.

As for Tang Huan, who was provoked by him at the beginning, he was completely left behind.

Previously, I saw Tang Huan observe the opponent's strength before refining the gem, and thought that he was the same as himself, and the refining level was very good, but the flame that Tang Huan urged him to be disappointed and completely lost his interest in paying attention to Tang Huan.

Tang Huan was still unhurried, but the flames in his palm were a little stronger than the first level.

Under the continuous burning of the true fire, it only took about half an hour for the "Spirit Soft Iron" to soften. Of course, this softening is not the kind of rotten ball, but quite elastic softness, Tang Huan's left hand controls the flame and continues to burn, while his right hand keeps kneading on the iron.
