Chapter 168: The Victor
The bell of the rank, as the name suggests, represents the bell of the smelter's rank, this kind of bell is said to be made by the emperor Ye Yuntian, three mouths are a set, there are nine sets in the world, distributed in the headquarters of the instrument alliance and eight branches. Each ringing of the rank bell represents the first order, and three rings in a row represent the birth of a third-order smelter, and so on.
Generally speaking, those below the fifth order are not qualified to let the bell of the rank ring by themselves, and if they want to ring the bell of the rank below the fifth order, unless the smelter's own talent is recognized by the bell of the rank, plus the promotion to the third order smelter, the bell of the rank can be triggered to ring three times.
Around the Molten Core Tower, the crowd that was vibrated by the three self-ringing sounds of the Rank Bell instantly became agitated after hearing Fang Yu's voice, and some martial artists who originally didn't know the Rank Bell instantly understood the situation under the explanation of the smelter beside him, and at the same time continued to discuss the identity of the mysterious third-order smelter in the crowd.
On the high platform, Fang Yu stopped laughing, no one showed up as the head of the Shangyang City Branch, Fang Yu, a sixth-order smelter, actually had crystal tears flowing from the corners of his eyes while laughing. Not far from Fang Yu, Master Hei Kai, the deputy head of the Shangyang City Branch, was also embarrassed, and the moment the bell of the rank rang out, he was already in tears, looking at Lin Liang in the light curtain excitedly.
Li Dongshui is in a very bad mood now, as uncomfortable as someone stuffing a fly into his mouth when he is happy to eat. In Li Dongshui's view, everything was under control, the Shangyang City branch was about to lose, and public opinion was on his side, but the result was about to end, and a rank bell suddenly appeared!
As the head of the Hegu City Branch, Li Dongshui, a sixth-order smelter, naturally understood the meaning of the rank bell ringing three times, but it was precisely because he understood its meaning that he was extremely annoyed, and Li Dongshui couldn't understand why the rank bell would ring itself at this time.
Touching his head irritably, Li Dongshui suddenly remembered the strange fluctuation that came out of the molten fire core tower before the rank bell rang out, and couldn't help but look at Lin Liang's crumbling figure in the light curtain in shock, and muttered to himself: "This can't be, right?"
In desperation, everyone suddenly remembered the strange fluctuation they had felt before the bell rang, and after being confirmed by an elderly fourth-order smelter in the crowd, everyone turned their attention to the origin of that special fluctuation - the Molten Core Tower.
There were only two smelters in the Molten Core Tower, Lin Liang and Qin Feng. And when they got the news from the older fourth-order smelter, and then to the place where the special fluctuations came out, everyone agreed that the mysterious genius smelter was Qin Feng, and Lin Liang was just a loser in their eyes.
Of course, not everyone thinks so, many people's eyes stayed on Lin Liang after confirming the scope, although the number is not very large, but at least the head of the Hegu City branch is staring at Lin Liang in the light curtain in Li Dongshui.
As a master of the Wang Realm, Li Dongshui naturally heard what the surrounding audience said clearly, those ordinary martial artists and smelters thought that Qin Feng was the newly promoted third-order smelter, but Li Dongshui, who was the head of the department, knew that Qin Feng was not the newly promoted third-order smelter at all, because this rank bell rang three times, and it was the rank bell of the Shangyang City branch, and it was the rank bell of the fire refining lineage!
"In this way, it is very likely that Lin Liang is the newly promoted third-order smelter, no, it is not very possible, it must be him, he wants to smelt the smelting hammer, and now the rank bell is ringing again, can it be said that he has succeeded?"
Thinking of this, Li Dongshui sat on the chair, his face like ashes. What about the mid-grade peak element, after all, it can't escape the word medium-grade, Lin Liang smelted the smelting hammer, which itself is one grade higher than the medium-grade, and there is no comparison between the two at all!
Not only Li Dongshui, Yue Lingbo obviously also thought of this, looked at Li Dongshui with a bleak face, and sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that this time the two departments would negotiate the Yangcheng branch to win, the fire refining vein is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the great world is coming, it's time to get in touch with the fire refining vein." ”
Just as everyone was quietly waiting for the end of this exchange, in the battle platform, Lin Liang, who was about to finish the soul injection, suddenly changed his complexion drastically, and spewed out a mouthful of blood towards the smelting furnace, and then his whole body collapsed to the ground weakly, unconscious.
And the moment Lin Liang fell to the ground, the originally bright smelting furnace also suddenly dimmed, only flickering with a faint light. This sudden scene stunned everyone, on the high platform, Fang Yu was shocked, and he was about to get up and fly towards the Molten Fire Core Tower, at this time he had already made up his mind, even if he admits defeat, he must keep Lin Liang, as long as Lin Liang is there, the Shangyang City branch will always win one day.
However, as soon as Fang Yu got up, one arm stopped in front of Fang Yu, Fang Yu raised his head, there was a faint fire in his eyes, and he coldly shouted at the owner of the arm: "Li Dongshui, what do you mean, what do you want to do, get out of the way!"
The owner of Fang Yu's arm was naturally Li Dongshui, looking at Lin Liang in the light curtain with a somewhat cloudy face, Li Dongshui suddenly smiled and said to Fang Yu: "Brother Fang said that he laughed, this should be asked to you next, right? These two divisions are not over yet, no one can enter the molten fire core tower to interfere with the two divisions, the agreement we made at the beginning Brother Fang will not want to regret it personally, right?"
"You!" Fang Yu was furious, what was just a casual sentence at the beginning was actually used as a weapon by the other party at this time, it was simply too deceitful! The smelter of the Shangyang City branch behind Fang Yu was about to make a move when he saw that his minister was stopped, but he was stopped by the smelters of the Hegu City branch one by one, and the swords on the high platform were instantly tense.
"Brother Fang's subordinates are quite loyal!" Li Dongshui said slowly: "Actually, it's not impossible to let you go, after all, you and I are both sixth-order smelters, and we are both the leaders of one department, wouldn't it be a joke to make a move at every turn?"
"What do you want?" Fang Yu said in a cold voice, at this time, he couldn't care about dealing with Li Dongshui, it was important to save Lin Liang!
"Well, I want to think about it!" Saying that, Li Dongshui raised his head with a pensive look, and only when he saw that Fang Yu was about to help but make a move, he slowly said: "I want you to personally admit that the winner of this two-part competition is the Hegu City Branch!"
"You!"
"What's the matter? Reluctant?" Li Dongshui looked back at Lin Liang who fell to the ground in the blindfold, and said nonchalantly: "Then forget it, let's wait until the will of the Molten Core Tower is announced!"
"Slow!" staring at Li Dongshui indifferently, Fang Yu took a deep breath and said coldly: "Li Dongshui, you win, as long as you don't stop me, I will announce the result you want immediately!"
"Okay, refreshing!" Li Dongshui said with a smile, and at the same time removed the hand that was blocking Fang Yu and looked at Fang Yu with a smile.
Taking a deep breath again, Fang Yu slowly spoke: "I, Fang Yu, the head of the Shangyang City Branch, hereby officially announce that this time I will compete with the two departments of the Hegu City Branch, and the winner is He......"
Fang Yu's voice stopped when he said the ligature, and the angry Li Dongshui roared loudly: "Say it quickly, keep talking, you don't want to save Lin Liang, don't you!" However, after talking for a long time, Li Dongshui suddenly saw that everyone was staring blankly at the molten fire core tower in front of him, and not only did no one listen to what he said, but it seemed that he couldn't even hear it.
Li Dongshui, who reacted instantly, was shocked in his heart, it was obvious that his strength was blocked, and no sound could be heard, and the only thing that could do this in this Shangyang City was the will contained in the molten fire core tower in front of him.
The will of the symbolic thing of the first vein is not easy to mess with, especially when the symbolic thing is in its own branch, even the owner of the first vein must be respectful when he sees the will of the symbolic thing, and dare not slack off in the slightest. Thinking of this, Li Dongshui secretly scolded himself for being unlucky, and actually forgot that this was in Shangyang City, and he oppressed the head of the Shangyang City branch in front of the will of the Molten Fire Core Tower, and it was strange not to be hostile.
Li Dongshui was not the only one who was blocked, but there was also one person who was naturally Fang Yu, the minister of the Shangyang City branch who was ready to admit defeat, although Fang Yu knew that he couldn't speak, he still respectfully asked the will of the molten fire core tower to save Lin Liang.
The people watching around didn't know what Fang Yu and Li Dongshui were doing, they only heard someone pointing to the smelting furnace in front of Lin Liang in the light curtain, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to it, only to see that the originally dim smelting furnace was shining at this time, and a dragon roar came out of the smelting furnace, bombarding everyone and Qin Feng's ears, and with the sound of the dragon groan, a hammer-shaped instrument that looked very similar to the smelting hammer slowly rose from the smelting furnace in front of Lin Liang.
The hammer is about three feet long, the whole body is jet black, and the whole body is covered with veins, and there is a faint blood glitter in the veins, and in terms of appearance, compared with the standard smelting hammer, except that the hammer hammer is relatively small, everything else is similar. And when the hammer completely lifted out of the smelting furnace, a voice without a trace of emotion sounded inside and outside the molten core tower as when Qin Feng's results were originally announced.
"Shangyang City Branch, Lin Liang, the top grade (pseudo) smelting hammer is nameless, and he is allowed to be promoted to a third-order smelter, this time the two departments compete, the winner, Lin Liang of the Shangyang City Branch. ”
When this voice sounded, the entire Shangyang City was silent, and it was not until a few breaths later that everyone reacted, and for a while, the entire Shangyang City was extremely noisy, and the smelters of the Hegu City branch were like ashes.
