Chapter 60: The Second Round

After a long time, as the host's loud voice sounded again, the second round of the Sword Casting Masters finally officially kicked off in anticipation.

As the highlight of the Sword Forge Masters, the second round of the event naturally received more attention, and the audience was much larger than in the first round, and this year, because of Aotian, it was even more pompous, and the entire venue was full, and some of the staff could only stand.

After a routine pre-competition official speech, the host finally put down the manuscript and said in an impassioned voice: "Let's use warm applause to invite five masters to enter!"

As these words sounded, the audience suddenly resounded with a tidal wave of applause and bursts of cheers.

Immediately, I saw Qin Zhen, Aotian, Chen Chong and other five people walking into the field, and then under the leadership of the staff in the arena, they came to five different round platforms.

Aotian climbed onto the second round platform, then bowed respectfully to the judges' bench and the VIP seat, and then took out the sword-casting furnace and got ready.

And as Aotian ascended to the No. 2 round platform, most of the eyes in the field converged on the No. 2 round platform, and the remaining people also set their sights on Aotian under the guidance of others.

In an instant, bursts of discussion rang out.

"Look there, the young man on the second stage is Aotian!"

"It's really young!"

"yes, only eighteen!"

"How did he do it, didn't he say that all sword casters are at least martial arts powerhouses, could it be that he has already reached the level of martial artists!"

"Not only is it a martial artist level, he can refine a Xuan-level sword, and his blood and qi level is at least a great martial artist!"

"Eighteen-year-old Great Martial Master, that's amazing!"

In the stands, almost everyone was talking about Aotian, and some of them were telling the scene of Aotian's refining of the sword yesterday to those around them who were not watching at the scene yesterday, and the audience was also listening with relish and sighing.

Just when the people around were talking about Aotian, the host carefully introduced the five players including Aotian, and then began to introduce the rules of today's game.

According to the rules, this round of the event is produced by the guild, and these materials belong to a low-quality category, such as ores with a lot of impurities, low-level magic crystal cores, energy crystals with insufficient purity, and so on.

Contestants need to use these materials to refine a Xuan-level sword to the best of their ability, and then the jury will finally select the outstanding talents who can obtain the title of Royal Sword Casting Master based on the performance of the five contestants in two rounds.

With the host's introduction to the rules, the staff in the field also distributed various materials to the five players.

Aotian picked up several materials one by one and looked at them, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and smiled bitterly: "These materials are really bad enough, it seems that it will take a lot of effort today!"

On the No. 1 platform, Qin Zhen also briefly checked the various materials, and then glanced at Aotian not far away, his eyes were full of unconvinced looks.

"Hmph, even the teacher is full of praise for him, is that kid really that powerful? Isn't he just relying on himself to refine the Xuan Qi, if I also refine the Xuan Qi, I will definitely be able to become the youngest sword casting master - but if I only talk about the talent of sword casting, I, Qin Zhen, will definitely not lose to him, a yellow-haired boy!"

Since Qin Zhen went back yesterday, he had been listening to Ling Xiao and the Seventh Princess praising Aotian, so he was very jealous in his heart, and he also learned from the conversation between Ling Xiao and the Seventh Princess that Aotian did not show his true level because of poisoning.

However, in his heart, he always felt that Aotian was a hairy boy, even if his talent was good, he would definitely not be as good as himself, so today he must refine a sword with a higher quality than Aotian to steal back the limelight that belongs to him.

......

On the judges' bench, when Zhao Pei talked about Aotian with Ouyang Yunxiao and several other judges, he couldn't help but talk about Aotian's poisoning yesterday, but he didn't mention Ouyang Mingzhu.

"I see, no wonder he made that mistake yesterday!"

"Fortunately, he miraculously turned the situation around after the last one, otherwise he would really regret it for life!"

"Yes, he's a great guy who is highly poisoned and can refine a Xuan-level sword!

"Well, he's fully recovered, and he should be able to play his true level today!"

"Hehe, that's good, I'm really looking forward to this kid's performance later?"

"By the way, when I was just checking the materials in the back, I found that the materials prepared for the five players today are not ordinary, and they are much worse than the previous ones!"

"I also saw it, I heard that it was the Grandmaster who personally asked for the increase in difficulty, I think the Grandmaster wants to test Aotian and his apprentices to see where their limits are?"

"Well, it should be like this, but wouldn't it be a little unfair to the other three players!"

"Yes, but there is no way, the limelight of this session has already been occupied by Aotian alone, and even Qin Zhen will be ignored, not to mention Chen Chong and Jiang Lingfeng, so everyone is looking at Aotian and Qin Zhen in this competition, and the remaining three have become foils, so the result is no longer important to them!"

"Hmm!" everyone nodded, and their eyes were almost all on the Aotian on the second round platform.

At this time, Aotian had already put all the required materials into the sword-casting furnace, and his hands were also pressed on the grooves of the sword-casting furnace, ready to turn on the furnace fire and start forging swords.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of this year's Sword Forge Masters tournament starts now!"

With the host's order, the sword-casting furnaces on the five round platforms suddenly ignited scorching flames, and the tense sword-casting test officially began.

Today's Aotian is not affected by the body, and its spiritual power is like a bird that has escaped from the cage, it can fly freely in the air, and it can do its best to go higher and farther, and play to the extreme.

Therefore, Aotian used his spiritual power very easily to drive the flames in the furnace into several different fireballs, wrapping different materials and slowly melting each material.

After all the materials were melted, Aotian immediately controlled each flame in the furnace with super mental control, reached different temperature ranges, and began to finely smelt each material to remove the impurities in it.

However, due to the low quality of the materials used this time, Autean has taken extra care in the smelting process, doing its best to remove the impurities in the materials and refine the purest material liquid.

But Aotian never expected that this time there were more impurities in the material than he imagined. This gave Aotian quite a headache, and in the end, it can be said that he wasted all his strength before refining a satisfactory raw liquid.

After the smelting was over, Autean immediately used his spiritual power to control each pure raw material liquid to carry out a little bit of fusion, reaction, qualitative transformation and other repeated processes according to special laws.

And this also marks that the sword forging has entered the most important stage - spiritual power forging.

Although Aotian had tried his best to refine all kinds of materials just now, some of the materials used to make Jian Gang's magic cores, energy crystals and other materials were of low grade, which would limit the power of Jian Gang.

The main factor in evaluating the quality of a Xuan-level sword is the strength of the sword and the power of the sword qi released.

Therefore, it is obviously an extremely difficult challenge to use these low-grade materials to create a powerful sword gang.

However, the most feared thing for Aotian is the challenge, when he was just a martial artist, he could practice alone in the Northern Wilderness Ancient Forest, looking for Xuan Qi, stealing ambergris, and going deep into the Ancient Forest to find medicinal materials......

At the beginning, those challenges were life-threatening, and they were much more difficult than the challenges in front of them.

In order to make up for the lack of low quality of materials, Aotian did its best to control the control of mental power to the extreme, more accurately control the fusion, reaction, qualitative change and so on between each material, and in the manufacturing process of Jiangang, he would never allow the slightest deviation and energy of Lang Fei.

In this way, Aotian gradually reached a state of selflessness, all of his spiritual power was concentrated in the sword forging furnace, everything around him seemed to have disappeared, and the only thing left was the various materials and liquids that were constantly fusing and reacting.

As time passed, the arena gradually fell into a state of extreme silence, and everyone patiently waited for the final result.

But at this moment, a muffled sound of "bang" broke the silence in the field, and everyone followed the reputation, but saw that the sword-casting furnace on the No. 5 platform was like a fountain, spewing out a large amount of material liquid, and the player had already jumped off the round platform, his face full of unwillingness and shame.

Burst the furnace!

This is an absolute disgrace for a true swordsmith.

However, the player's explosion did not seem to cause much commotion, and the crowd in the surrounding stands only occasionally sighed for the player, and the rest of the people's attention was almost focused on Aotian.

......

"It seems that this year's materials are really bad enough, and even those who entered the second round have exploded!"

"Yes, with those broken materials this year, it is estimated that it is already the limit to be able to refine a Xuan-level mid-grade sword!

Suddenly, there was another muffled "bang", and Jiang Lingfeng, who was standing on the No. 3 round platform, also exploded and failed.

Seeing the two players exploding one after another, the surrounding audience finally became commotionous, and the discussion gradually sounded.

However, most people are not feeling sorry for Jiang Lingfeng, but are a little worried that Aotian will also explode.

After all, those viewers basically don't know about the poisoning of Lu Dao Aotian yesterday, so they are worried that Aotian, who almost exploded yesterday, will be even more difficult to control in the face of defective materials today, maybe he will be the one who exploded in the next second.

But what the audience feared didn't happen.

Not long after Jiang Lingfeng burst the furnace, Chen Chong took the lead in completing the sword casting, and the sword was released.

However, Qin Zhen and Aotian extinguished the furnace fire almost at the same time and completed the sword casting.

Seeing the three swords coming out one after another, the audience suddenly boiled again, and the applause and discussion echoed like a tide.
