Chapter 122: The Trap

"Brother Hao, is the old horse okay?"

On the audience, Sun Hu searched for a long time in the arena, and finally found the extremely inconspicuous Ma Zhongde in the crowd. Watermark Ad Test: Watermark Ad Test

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said, "Don't you know when you look at it?"

"I want to ...... It should be no problem, I've seen Ma Zhongde's refining weapon, and he has a bit of my brother's charm!" Zhang Ling'er said.

"Cut!" Sun Hu said disdainfully: "Even if he is like that, he can be compared with Brother Hao, it would be good to have one percent of Brother Hao's level!"

Sun Hu wasted no time in patting his ass.

"You sycophant!" Zhang Ling'er glanced at Sun Hu angrily.

The contest soon began in earnest.

Round 1 – Identification of materials.

In front of each contestant, on the stone platform, there is a jade cocoon.

After the contestants immersed their divine consciousness into the jade cocoon, a picture of the refining materials would appear in each contestant's mind.

There are 100 drawings in total.

But it's only half a cup of tea.

Almost every picture only lingers in front of me for a moment.

The contestants must identify the materials in these 100 drawings in such a short period of time, and the difficulty can be imagined.

The total score for the first round is 100 points, with one point deducted for each misidentification or failure to identify a material.

The first round of the competition began quickly.

Each monk immediately immersed his consciousness in the jade cocoon, and soon images appeared in front of them, and at the same time, the participating monks quickly recorded the material corresponding to each picture with a pen on a piece of paper.

After half a cup of tea. This is the end of the first round.

In the hands of each monk, the jade cocoon burst open with a soft thud.

Subsequently. Several elders of the Refining Alliance walked into the arena, and Zhang Hao collected each answer sheet that recorded the information of the participating monks.

Thousands of test papers, dozens of monks who presided over the Nanfeng Prefecture Refining Competition began to read the papers.

In less than an hour, all the answers to the first round of the competition were read.

Zhang Hao glanced at Ma Zhongde, who was staring motionlessly at a huge piece of jade beside the dozen elders of the Refining Alliance at this time.

The results of the first round will appear on this score.

And in the first round, nine out of nine monks will be eliminated.

In other words, less than 100 people will make it to the second round.

This is the real audition. However, there is nothing wrong with this kind of audition, if a monk can't remember the refining materials. And how can you become a good alchemist?

When the results of the first round appeared in Yubi, the scene was in an uproar.

First place, Yang Tai, ninety-two points.

2nd place. Ma Zhongde, ninety points.

Third place, Yang Xin, 86 points.

Judging from the ranking on the jade bi, there is not a lot of overlapping points in the previous rankings.

Even up to 100, the score is less than 60 points.

It seems that the difficulty of this question is relatively large, otherwise the number of people who pass would not be so small.

When Ma Zhongde saw his facial image and name appear in the first row and the second place, he immediately clenched his fist in relief, and he wanted to roar. But I don't think it's a good fit at this time.

"Brother Hao, Ma Zhongde's guy is not bad...... I actually took a second place!" Sun Hu said with a glare.

"That's people

There are no distractions in the family, and all the thoughts are put on the refining tool. How can it be like you, holding that Saobao flying sword every day, showing it off everywhere in Mohe City, and I can't wait to take it out in front of every female cultivator. Zhang Linger said disdainfully.

"How can I be, I also work very hard to cultivate, okay?" Sun Hu argued.

"Hiss!"

Even Derpy crawled out of the hollowed-out gourd, waving his paws in dissatisfaction. is obviously despising Sun Hu for bragging and not making drafts.

Derpy is also recovering well from his injuries during this time, as his body is very strong. Coupled with the healing sheet refined by Zhang Hao, he naturally recovered during this time.

And while Zhang Hao was laughing and talking, in another corner of the audience.

Yuan Qiaojuan and Cao Fatzi were also sitting there watching this rare grand competition.

When Ma Zhongde appeared on the huge jade wall.

The corners of Yuan Qiaojuan's mouth twitched involuntarily, if it weren't for the fact that there was a facial image behind the name "Ma Zhongde", she would definitely think that this Ma Zhongde would be another person.

And Cao Fatzi, who was sitting next to Yuan Qiaojuan, also showed a shocked look.

"How is he?" Fat Cao couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that he used to be a refiner?"

The corners of Yuan Qiaojuan's mouth showed a hint of mockery, and said: "How can he be a refiner with that look?" I think he probably picked up a book about refining weapons somewhere, and he has some understanding of refining materials, so he wants to turn over the salted fish through this refining competition.

I know him very well, his talent is very average, he doesn't know anything about refining weapons at all, even if he cultivates the way of refining weapons from the beginning, he can't achieve much success! This time he passed the first round by luck, and he will definitely be eliminated in the second round!"

Cao Fatzi smiled and said, "I think so, just like his decay, what is the difference between him and a beggar in Mohe City? He still wants to become a refiner, it's just a dream, and it doesn't count how many catties and taels he himself has, learn from others to be a refiner? Where did he come from the spirit stone to learn the refiner?"

Just when Yuan Qiaojuan and Cao Fatzi were trying their best to belittle Ma Zhongde, the host of the Refining Alliance announced that the monks who were eliminated in the first round would be withdrawn.

The monks eliminated in this round are indeed more than ninety percent, and there are less than 100 monks left in the arena.

In an instant, the originally crowded arena suddenly became empty, and every participating monk would be baptized by more eyes.

"In the second round of the competition, each monk will receive a list of materials, and this list of materials will randomly select seven materials from the hundred materials in the first round, and what you have to do is to choose the right materials among these seven materials and use them to refine a magic weapon. Note. The material chosen can be one or more.

Of course, there is no need to refine magic weapons in this round. All you need to do is hand in the refining plan. Every monk will have half an hour to think, and after half an hour, he will hand in the answer sheet. ”

At the same time as the words fell, in front of every monk, a jade cocoon flew in.

In this round, each monk may receive a different jade cocoon.

The seven materials in some jade cocoons can easily refine a good quality magic weapon. However, there are some materials that are very likely to be difficult to refine even magic weapons.

After all, seven out of a hundred materials are chosen. There are so many ways to distribute.

Therefore, this will inevitably lead to a situation where luck will dominate some of the matches in this round.

For monks, though.

Isn't luck part of strength?

When Ma Zhongde's divine consciousness was immersed in the jade cocoon, he was given information on the seven materials.

And what made him feel speechless was. These seven materials are all used as auxiliary materials when refining.

In other words, it is almost impossible to refine a magic weapon from these seven materials!

"Do you want to give up

This refining competition?"

Ma Zhongde was naturally extremely unwilling, he wanted to prove himself, he wanted to prove himself in front of that woman, and he wanted to prove himself in front of the monks in the entire Mohe City.

He didn't want to be out like that!

"What should I do?"

Ma Zhongde thought about it in a panic, and thought over and over again how to choose the appropriate combination of these seven materials into a feasible solution.

But he found that no matter what combination it is. None of them can form the materials of the refining weapon.

Either several materials simply clash with each other and resist each other, or they simply can't be cohesively formed.

And if you only use any of them to refine, you can only refine mortal weapons at most!

Beads of sweat the size of beans burst out of Ma Zhongde's head. Evenβ€”he was so anxious that his whole body was trembling.

In the audience, Zhang Hao and his party paid attention to Ma Zhongde.

"What's the matter, Old Ma, he won't be stumped, right?" Sun Hu asked.

"It seems that Lao Ma may have chosen a very bad question!" Zhang Ling'er said.

Zhang Hao nodded, he knew that Ma Zhongde would not lag behind others in this link, and now that Ma Zhongde was acting so hard, it could only mean that the materials he extracted were extremely difficult, or could not be combined into a set of magic weapon refining schemes at all.

The other side. Yuan Qiaojuan and Cao Fatzi also focused on Ma Zhongde.

Seeing that Ma Zhongde was thinking hard but could not write a set of plans, both of them showed a look of relief on their faces.

"I'm just saying. That Ma Zhongde only has half a bucket of water, and he has no real skills!" Yuan Qiaojuan sneered again.

Cao Fatzi smiled, hugged Yuan Qiaojuan's small waist in his arms, and said: "Xiaojuan, you can't be wrong to choose me, following that poor ghost will only make you suffer in Mohe City." ”

"Brother Cao, choosing to be with you is the wisest decision for me!" Yuan Qiaojuan said.

......

Ma Zhongde was still struggling in the arena, his sweat was already raining, his hands were clenched into fists because of nervousness and anxiety, and he didn't even notice that his nails were digging into his flesh and blood was dripping.

"No way!"

"Impossible!"

"It's impossible! If these three materials are melted one after the other, it is impossible to merge them together!"

"Still doesn't work!"

......

Ma Zhongde has repeatedly denied the plan he envisioned, and the time to hand in the plan is getting closer and closer!

"It's impossible to refine a magic weapon with these seven materials with conventional methods!"

Ma Zhongde's brows were tightly wrinkled together, forming a deep trace.

Suddenly, in his mind, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration.

He thought of the True Fire Twisting Method that Zhang Hao had mentioned in a refining weapon.

That time, Zhang Hao did not teach him the True Fire Twisting Method, but briefly talked about the process and methods.

Because the True Fire Twisting Method was too rebellious and completely subverted the current refining system in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, Ma Zhongde was quite impressed.

But at that time, his divine sense was still too weak, so he didn't actually operate it.

He again focused on the seven, and then chose three of them.

Then he tried to use the True Fire Twisting Method to deduce it again, and a wave of ecstasy surged from his heart, if these three materials were refined with the True Fire Twisting Method, they could indeed refine the magic weapon!

However, he didn't know if the plan he had handed in would be approved by the Refining Alliance!
