The refiner youth competition includes the elimination round and the finals, of which the elimination round is divided into three rounds, each round of the competition will eliminate sixty percent of the contestants, and after the three rounds of competition, the remaining uneliminated contestants must be the elite of the elite, and only such a genius is eligible to participate in the final finals.

The number of participants in the main competition is still small, seven kingdoms, each kingdom has thirty places, and the three empires, each empire has sixty places, a total of three hundred and ninety people.

In the center of the square, the atmosphere of the competition infected every participant, even the high-profile Gu Qingyan, Shan Yezi, and Chi Yao, the three refining geniuses who were suspected of being five-star refining masters, couldn't help but be a little excited at the moment.

Before the game started, the atmosphere inside and outside the square had become extremely hot.

The fierce collision between geniuses and geniuses is always a topic that people talk about, and the head-to-head competition between geniuses and geniuses often makes people's blood gush and blood boiling. And the refiner youth competition, one of the three top competitions in the Northern State Region, is extremely high-standard, and naturally no one will doubt the gold content of these geniuses.

At this moment, everyone's blood is burning, and the chaotic and high-pitched cheers are coming and going.

In the "Hu ......" square, 390 contestants adjusted their states and quietly waited for the competition to begin.

In mid-air, a middle-aged gaze dressed in animal skin armor looked around, swept the arena below, and the dense crowd around the arena, he took a deep breath, and said slowly in a loud voice: "Before the competition, I will introduce the rules of the refiner youth competition. ”

Hearing the voice of the middle-aged man, everyone below quickly fell silent.

Nodding with satisfaction, the middle-aged smiled and said: "The main competition is divided into two parts: the knockout round and the finals, of which the knockout round is divided into three rounds, each round eliminates the bottom 60% of the contestants, and only the top 40% of the contestants in each round of the competition, after three rounds of elimination, the final remaining contestants will participate in the final together." ”

After a pause, the middle-aged man continued: "As we all know, a solid foundation, a strong heart, and extraordinary talent are the necessary conditions for becoming a high-level alchemist. Therefore, in the first round of elimination, all participants must forge high-quality weapons, and determine the promotion quota through the quality of high-quality weapons; in the second round of elimination, all participants will be in a strong interference environment, forging or refining weapons, and determining the promotion quota according to the level and quality of weapons; quality, to determine the number of promotion places. ”

The rules of the competition are very detailed, and they also take into account the tests of all aspects as much as possible to screen out real talents.

"What a cumbersome rule. Lan Feng said with some surprise.

Prior to this, Lan Feng had always thought that he only needed to refine high-level weapons to ensure his advancement.

The transparent old man shook his head and said, "This refiner youth competition has existed for thousands of years and has been held hundreds of times, and the rules are naturally extremely perfect, and there are almost no loopholes. "Of course, in any game, it is impossible that there is really no loophole, but the loopholes are also divided into sizes, serious or not, and some unimportant loopholes can be ignored.

As one of the three top competitions in the Northern State Region, the Refiner Youth Tournament was more rigorous than Lan Feng imagined.

"I announce that the first round of eliminations has officially begun, and the time limit is half an hour, please all participants, start forging!"

As soon as the voice of the middle-aged man in animal skin armor fell in midair, in the center of the wide square, the three hundred and ninety contestants, including Lan Feng, retracted their gazes in unison and began to act.

Lan Feng's gaze lingered on the pile of materials on the load-bearing platform for a moment, and then he looked at the materials on the load-bearing platform of the other contestants, and muttered in a low voice: "The types and quantities of materials are exactly the same. "Including the contestants of the three empires who occupy the central position of the square, they also do not have the slightest privilege, whether it is refining utensils, furnaces, or materials, they are exactly the same as Lan Feng and the others.

At this moment, Lan Feng was not in a hurry to forge, but looked around and swept around.

Like the spectators on the stone stairs around the square, Lan Feng's focus was also on the contestants of the three empires, especially the three high-profile geniuses - Gu Qingyan, Shan Yezi, and Chi Yao.

"If there are no accidents, my opponents are the three of them. Looking at the three of them carefully, Lan Feng said secretly in his heart.

Gu Qingyan, a super genius of the Blue Wolf Empire, a genius in refining and cultivating, and a suspected five-star refining master.

Shan Yezi, the refining genius of the Fuyao Empire, has an extremely amazing refining talent, and is highly valued by the six-star refining master Fu Huoyan, and is suspected to be a five-star refining master.

Chi Yao, His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Tiankui Empire, although his talent is slightly inferior, his will is as strong as iron, and he has extremely solid basic skills, as well as forging experience and refining experience far beyond Gu Qingyan and Shan Yezi, and is suspected to be a five-star refining master.

These three refining geniuses, each of them is a genius who is famous in the Northern Prefecture Region, even if it is Chi Yao, although the talent is slightly inferior, but it is completely qualified to be called a genius, after all, such a tenacious will, in some respects, is even more rare than a heaven-given talent!

At this moment, Gu Qingyan, Shan Yezi and Chi Yao all stood confidently in place, without the slightest movement.

Although the first round of the knockout round tested the forging of high-quality weapons, all three of them have extraordinary self-confidence, and they can advance to the second round of the knockout round by forging a high-quality weapon at will, not only to advance, but also to achieve the top few rankings.

Having cleared all the low-level and medium-level tricks, they have an advantage in forging high-quality weapons that is difficult for others to match, and with this alone, they are already invincible.

The reason why they didn't immediately start forging high-quality weapons like other contestants was because they were secretly accumulating strength, accumulating and adjusting their state to prepare for the final finals, and as for the first three rounds of elimination, they didn't care and were not interested in putting too much energy into it.

Slowly retracting his gaze, Lan Feng shook his head and looked at the materials on the load-bearing platform in front of him again.

Compared with Gu Qingyan and the other three geniuses, Lan Feng seemed more calm, because at this moment, in the eyes of outsiders, he was just an inconspicuous small role, and he didn't have so much burden and pressure in his heart.

Ignite the flame, heat the furnace, quench the material......

Lan Feng's movements are not slow, just like usual practice, natural and flat, giving people a lazy feeling.

......

Off-site.

"You say, is it possible for Fan Zengcai to enter the finals?" Nie Wushuang stared silently for a moment, then suddenly turned his head and asked.

Hearing this, Chen Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Difficult!"

Gu Yong said in an uncertain tone: "Fan Zengcai and Shi Xinyu may still have a chance, and Li Hao is probably a little behind." ”

All in all, the situation for the Han Dynasty contestants is not optimistic.

For a while, Nie Wushuang's mood was a little heavy.

"Alas, that's it, what can be done, we have already done it, whether they can enter the finals or not depends on their own creation!" Nie Wushuang let out a long sigh.

......

"How is it, Brother Ji, the genius of this year's Refiner Youth Tournament can be caught in your eyes?" At a stone staircase on the south side of the square, an old man with thick eyebrows said with a smile to the middle-aged man beside him.

This kind old man has an amazing identity, that is, the president of the Beizhou Region Refiner Guild - Bi Xuan.

In addition, he is also a six-star refining master, a six-star refining master who has successfully refined the three-pattern king weapon!

Looking at the entire Qingzhou Continent, a six-star refining master who has successfully refined a three-pattern royal weapon is rare, and his status is far higher than that of an ordinary six-star refining master, and because of this, he has been recognized by many refiners in the Alchemist Guild and serves as the president of the Beizhou Region Refiner Guild.

The middle-aged man beside him seems to be young, but in fact he is more than 100 years old, much older than Bi Xuan, but he broke through to the god level a long time ago, so his appearance still maintains the appearance of when he was young, and there has never been the slightest change.

At the same time, this middle-aged man also has a very important identity, that is, the Ten Thousand Weapons Pavilion Absorption Envoy, who is specifically responsible for absorbing geniuses from various states, although his strength is only in the early stage of the god level, but his actual combat power is comparable to some weaker mid-stage god-level powerhouses, and he is an extremely strong and authoritative master.

"Very good! It seems that I didn't run in vain this trip!" Ji Chen slowly retracted his gaze and nodded with satisfaction, geniuses like Gu Qingyan, Shan Yezi, and Chi Yao are placed in the Zhongzhou region where geniuses gather, and they can be regarded as good seedlings.

After a pause, Ji Chen's gaze fell on Gu Qingyan, and said slowly: "This Gu Qingyan, placed in our first-level academy, should also be able to rank firmly in the second echelon, and over time, it should be able to achieve a lot of achievements!"

Almost one-tenth of the top-level geniuses in the entire Qingzhou Continent were concentrated in the first-level academy of Wanqi Pavilion.

You must know that all the top-level geniuses in the five major states of Zhongzhou, Shenzhou, Beizhou, Manzhou, and Nanzhou add up, which is an extremely large number, even if it is one-tenth, it is a terrifying number, and being able to rank in the second echelon among so many geniuses shows how high Ji Chen's evaluation of Gu Qingyan is.

Bi Xuan nodded approvingly: "I also admire this kid, I believe that within twenty years, this kid will definitely be promoted to a six-star refining master!"

"President Bi is so optimistic about Gu Qingyan?" Ji Chen glanced at Bi Yan with some surprise, if it was really as Bi Yan said, then he really underestimated this little guy a little, such a genius, although it was still a little worse than the top demons in the first-level academy, but in the second echelon, he could also rank in the forefront.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen couldn't help but glance at Gu Qingyan a few more times, and his eyes were also much more serious.
