Chapter 74: Between Victory and Defeat

Zhang Chao was unhurried and opened the refining furnace.

Reaching out, the cold in the furnace was pressing, cold and biting.

"Very good, almost!" he slowly picked up the materials one by one and threw them into the furnace one by one.

After entering the furnace, these materials freeze one after another, and as the temperature in the furnace continues to decrease, all of them shatter and turn into countless ice particles.

Taking out these ice particles and putting them on a plate, making them all melt into water, Zhang Chao shook them again, and put them in the furnace again to freeze.

After repeating this dozens of times, the impurities in the material have been completely separated from the essence.

After all, in the state of water, different qualities cannot be integrated intact.

"Well, it's almost, let's take the second step!" Zhang Chao nodded with satisfaction.

Although it was also the first time for him to use the cold refining method to refine weapons, because the "All Things Refining Method" was engraved in his heart, he was familiar with it.

"It can't be, he...... What kind of refining method is he with? The speed is so fast, and he can also ......" Zhao Hong and Mingqiu had no contempt in their eyes at this time, their hearts were raised to their throats, and they no longer looked at the excitement, and hurriedly grasped the refining magic weapon.

Soon, Zhang Chao reached the step of forging magic weapons.

He glanced at the hammers around him, and none of them were eye-catching, so he slowly took out the nine-pattern heavenly hammer from his arms.

"This!" Seeing this, the president stood up suddenly, his eyes contracted: "It turned out to be him!"

......

Outside the door of the Iron Cooperative, there was a crowd of people, and more and more people gathered.

Wang Yin mobilized all the energy of the Wang family, did not hesitate to throw out a lot of funds, and even divided the magic weapons that the Wang family got from Zhao Hong, and finally invited all one-third of the families in Cannes.

"Master Zhang Chao has been in for so long, there won't be any danger, right?" Qiao Hai asked while twisting his beard, his face full of worry.

The Qiao family was the first to join the Wang family and rushed to the Iron Alliance.

And, knowing that Zhang Chao had single-handedly broken into the Iron Cooperation, Qiao Hai hurriedly asked people to take the Netherworld Devil Cry Axe and prepare for a battle against the water.

People from other families, after learning about Zhang Chao's situation, also praised one after another.

Once upon a time, there was no such character in Cannes.

And they are also a small family that is deeply oppressed by Zhao Hong and Mingqiu, and this time they have received the benefits of the Wang family and the Qiao family, so they naturally want to support the façade.

"That little thief, he should not be in any danger if he has made such a big deal, right?" Qiao Ruixue also followed, walking back and forth nervously.

"What little thief, he saved our Qiao family's benefactor!" Qiao Hai corrected.

"Hmph, no matter what he is, it makes me look a little different!" Qiao Ruixue couldn't talk back, so she could only follow Qiao Hai.

But in fact, although she still has a problem with Zhang Chao in her heart, she is no longer so profound.

Zhang Chao's 'disgusting' face before was still haunting her mind, but for some reason, now that she thinks about it, this face is not so disgusting.

In the crowd, a scruffyly dressed beggar, who had come in at some point, with a wooden stick in his hand, touching his beard that had been curtailed on his chin, looked at the gate of the Iron Cooperative, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Hurry up and get out of the way, if you really start fighting in a while, I'm afraid I'll hurt you by mistake!" a man from an unknown family came over and gently pushed the old man.

"Oh, hehe, good, good!" the old man was not angry, but walked slowly to a large rock not far away and sat down, and took out a large worn tobacco pouch from his dirty bosom, lit it, and smoked it there.

In the smoke, he seemed to be smiling, and whispered to himself leisurely: "I came all the way here, don't let me down......"

......

In the Great Hall of the Iron Cooperative Society, a series of banging sounds suddenly stopped.

Zhang Chao almost put down the hammer in his hand with Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu.

"It's done!"

The two trays, which contained the magic weapons they had just refined, were respectfully carried by their subordinates and sent to the president.

"Hmm!" The chairman sat down again, and didn't forget to look at Zhang Chao more, then he raised his hand and picked up the two wind and thunder rods and looked at them carefully.

After a long time, he nodded slightly and put the magic weapon on the plate.

"The magic weapon refined by Zhao Hong and Mingqiu is decent, and they can't find any faults, and of course there are no bright spots!"

"Whew!" Hearing such a comment, Zhao Hong and Mingqiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"As for the magic weapon refined by Zhang Chao...... After a slight pause, the chairman continued: "There are still many problems, and it can be seen that the experience is a little insufficient!"

"Hmph, hmph!" Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu immediately laughed, since the president said so, wouldn't it be a chance to win?

"Of course, the questions and experiences I mentioned are all aimed at your refining method!" the leader continued: "Cold refining method, this method has long been lost, even I haven't seen it a few times, and I can also see that it is the first time you are using this method refining treasure, although the movements are smooth, but when each step is connected, you still have to pause to think about how to deal with it next!"

"Of course, just a moment of pause may cause the temperature of the material to change, which will affect the quality of the final magic weapon!"

"It can be said that if there is no such flaw in it, you will be able to refine a ground-level wind and thunder rod, but unfortunately, now you are only the best among the human-level top grades!"

"What? no, it can't be!" Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu's eyes shattered when they heard the next words.

"I see, I said that I always feel that something seems to be lacking in the middle, the predecessors are really a person who wakes up from a dream with a word, Zhang Chao is grateful!" Zhang Chao suddenly realized and hurriedly saluted.

"The wind and thunder rod refined by the cold refining method not only has the original characteristics, but also hides a touch of cold in it, so that its power is increased again, and you are also very careful, and you also deliberately depicted eighteen small textures for the place where the cold is accommodated, forming a unique small formation, and it is hidden very deeply, which can have a surprise effect when facing the enemy!" The president continued to comment: " In this way, the value of this treasure in the display becomes higher, and it is indeed a bold and whimsical artist!"

"The seniors praised it falsely!" Zhang Chao was a little embarrassed to be praised.

To be honest, he also had the mentality of giving it a try at first, and he didn't expect it to be so successful.

Moreover, this kind of wind and thunder rod, the materials required are very expensive, if it is himself, although he has a spar mountain in his hand, he can be said to be very rich, but he is completely reluctant.

"How can this be, how can this be?" Zhao Hong and Mingqiu trembled all over, like deflated balls.

The results are already obvious.

They've already lost, and they're still losing in a mess!

The two of them joined forces, and they couldn't even compare to this Zhang Chao?

Such a blow was too heavy for them to accept it for a while.

"In order to convince you, these two magic weapons, you can see for yourself!" said the chairman, throwing two wind and thunder arrays at Zhao Hong and Ming Qiu.

"This ...... This ...... "picked up two wind and thunder rods, and the cold sweat of the two people flowed more."

Indeed, in comparison, what Zhang Chao refined, whether it was in terms of weight, quality, or all aspects, was far higher than that of the two of them.

This is the gap in refining!

"You...... I'm not reconciled!" Ming Qiu roared angrily.

"Okay, in that case, it proves that Zhang Chao is fully capable of replacing the two of you, and now I announce that I will abolish the status of Zhao Hong and Mingqiu's vice presidents, and expel them from the Iron Cooperative Society, and hand them over to the Cannes clans, whether you live or die, it depends on your own creation!" said the president in a loud voice.

"Uh-huh...... Hahahaha!" When Ming Qiu heard this, he suddenly laughed like a madman: "Okay, very good! Zhao Hong and I, we have done our best for you, before and after the saddle, but now we say that we will give it up, like useless waste, but ...... Even if I die, I will never be alone!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly fell on Zhang Chao's body, held the wind and thunder rod tightly in his hand, and let out a roar: "Zhang Chao, on the Huangquan Road, you walk side by side with me!"

Immediately after, he was like a mad dog, and his body directly turned into a black mang, and he slaughtered Zhang Chao......
