Chapter 50: The Iron Tree
In a secret room where the Shen family lived, Mrs. Shen and several strong people of the Shen family were listening to Grandpa Jin's reply.
"Smack!" Mrs. Shen slapped heavily on the armrest and shouted: "Toast and don't eat and drink kid, hmph, did the five old guys from the Refining Sect reply?"
The old man of Wenge bowed down and said, "Don't worry, the ancestor of the Refining Weapon Sect has already replied, and he will definitely not let this kid pass the retest, and let him fail miserably." ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, the anger on her face calmed down slightly, and she said, "On the day of the retest, I will take Ling'er to see it." Let her see his sweetheart, the fiasco. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.
Three days later, the re-examination of the big competition began, and there were more than 100,000 craftsmen who participated in the Great Competition of the Refining Sect, and more than half of them were eliminated in the first round, leaving only more than 40,000 craftsmen to enter the re-examination.
The venue is still the competition venue in the Treasure Pavilion, and every 5,000 people enter the venue in turn. The task of the retest is to refine a medium-grade magic weapon. And the difficulty has increased suddenly, not only requiring excellent products, but also being a medium-grade magic weapon with similar attributes.
The first batch of 5,000 people entered, and less than 1,000 passed, and most of them came out dejected. The people who passed the re-examination were elated, in fact, the craftsmen who came to participate did not hope to win the first place in the competition, and many people were very satisfied as long as they passed the re-examination. Because the Refining Sect will issue certificates to these craftsmen who have passed the test, those who pass the initial examination are junior craftsmen, those who pass the re-examination are intermediate craftsmen, and those who pass the finals are senior craftsmen.
If there is a certificate of an intermediate craftsman issued by the Refining Sect on the mainland, then the status of this craftsman will be greatly improved. Therefore, most of the craftsmen who participated in the competition came for the voucher.
Wang Yicheng was arranged among the last batch of craftsmen to compete. He was about to enter the competition hall when suddenly a monk with a black scarf over his face came up to him and shoved a ball of paper into his hand. Wang Yicheng was stunned for a moment, opened the paper ball, and saw that the paper ball was written, "Mother is going to deal with you, go quickly!" The handwriting was beautiful, but it was very sloppy, and it was obviously written urgently.
Wang Yicheng smiled slightly, knowing that this was Shen Ling reminding himself. However, she didn't know that she already knew the danger. However, he promised to fight for the honor of Shen Ling's competition, and he also refused the coercion and temptation of the Shen family. This competition must continue. Wang Yicheng put away the note and strode into the venue.
Rows of stoves are neatly arranged. The name of the tester is written on each stove. Wang Yicheng walked to the stove with his name written on it, looked left and right, and couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that there were several acquaintances around.
Ouyang Xuan, Zidie, Li Muhe, Zhong Ming, and Shi Shuoren, who were the first to compete with him, were all on his side. It turned out that the top twenty craftsmen of the Refining Sect were all arranged around him.
I only listened to the discussion in the stands, "Look at the stone platform in the middle, all the top-ranked craftsmen of the Refining Sect are arranged there." ”
"Who's the masked man in the middle?"
"Hehe! You're so unheard of, you haven't even heard of the Mask Man who has been in the limelight lately. ”
Li Muhe smiled at Wang Yicheng and said, "Brother Mask is also here to participate, it's really good, let's have a good competition in the finals." ”
Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan behind him sneered and said, "The finals are not necessarily! Hmph, there will be a madman who will challenge you in a while, you have to be careful!"
Wang Yicheng frowned, he knew that the Shen family would not let him pass the retest smoothly, and Ouyang Xuan obviously knew some news.
Suddenly, a person in the distance sneered and said, "Who said I was crazy!" A big man in black in the distance sneered.
This black-clothed man is extremely tall and strong, a head taller than Da Luo, who competed with Wang Yicheng last time for alchemy, and has the appearance of two meters, three or four. The muscles are knotted and full of explosive power. The surface of this man's skin is full of all kinds of tattoos, all kinds of strange patterns, even on his face. It looks very vicious and tough.
When Ouyang Xuan saw this person, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at this person again.
The giant man's body shook, and suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yicheng. Wang Yicheng's pupils shrank, this person is so fast.
"You're the Masked Man?" the man asked.
"What?" Wang Yicheng did not show weakness.
The man laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Turn around and walk to your stone platform. It turned out to be next to Wang Yicheng. Wang Yicheng looked sideways at the name on his stone platform, and his heart suddenly jumped, "Tie Shu." "It turned out that he was the second-ranked craftsman in the Refining Sect - Iron Tree.
This man is said to be very fond of alchemy and martial arts, and countless people have been maimed and killed by him in fighting, and he is known for his murder and has the title of madman.
The refining task was quickly promulgated, and two metals, one for blue water and gold, and one for fire cloud iron, required a mixture of two metals to refine a flying sword, with a grade above the best level. It's a tough question. Fire cloud iron is relatively common and is easy to refine. Blue water gold is rare, and it is said that it is only found under the deep sea. Because of the nature of water, it is difficult to refine. And fire and water are mutually restrictive, and refining is even more difficult.
However, these difficulties are only for those ordinary craftsmen, for these refining geniuses, it is just the speed of refining, and there is no technical difficulty.
Although they can only refine the required flying swords, these geniuses inevitably want to compete in speed. I saw dozens of stoves around Wang Yicheng, and the flames rushed straight into the sky. This is a sign of great confidence in your fire control skills. On the other hand, most of the surrounding furnace flames did not dare to burn fully because they were afraid that they would not be able to control it.
Not long after refining, there was a muffled sound in the surrounding furnace, the two attributes of water and fire, as long as they were not well controlled, once they were in contact, an explosion would occur, and the craftsmen who failed in refining could only leave the scene in a daze.
However, this will not happen among Wang Yicheng's people, who are already very familiar with the materials, and are also quite proficient in fire control and refining techniques. Just listen to the tinkling sound, everyone does their best, for fear of being left behind in speed. Five mountain peaks and five different styles of refining techniques complement each other, attracting the attention of the audience.
Wang Yicheng looked sideways, and saw Tie Shu holding an extra-large hammer and smashing it violently, extremely fast, he was the strength style of Thumb Peak. But the speed of swinging the hammer is not slow at all, it is a little faster than himself. Tie Shu knocked on the sideways and smiled at Wang Yicheng.
Wang Yicheng shook his head, he didn't want to compete with them, after all, this retest only needs to refine a high-grade medium-grade magic weapon.
After a few moments, everyone finished the fire refining and entered the casting stage. The fastest ones were Tie Shu and Li Muhe. Wang Yicheng, Zhong Ming, Zidie and other seven or eight people are the second group, while the speed of Ouyang Xuan and others is slowly lagging behind.
An hour later, excluding the failed craftsmen, most of the craftsmen had not yet finished the fire trial, and this group of geniuses was nearing the end of casting. Looking at the speed, Tie Shu and Li Muhe seem to be on par. Wang Yicheng nodded secretly, Li Muhe seemed to have improved a lot compared to the last time he competed with himself. If I had competed with myself at such a level last time, I was afraid that I would have lost.
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be about to end the casting at the same time, suddenly, Tieshu roared, and a giant hammer appeared in his hand. The two hammers fell in unison, doubling their speed. Thumb Peak was originally known for its strength, and the hammer was thick, close to five hundred catties. Now two hammers are swinging at the same time, which requires a lot of power. Even Wang Yicheng felt a little shocked.
I saw that Tie Shu was beating like crazy, all the muscles on his body bulged, and the tattoos of various patterns were congested and turned blood-red, as if he was going to come back to life.
In this moment, the strength and speed of the Iron Tree increased greatly, as if he had entered a state of madness of a beast. The speed of casting is greatly accelerated. "Zla!", in the exclamation of everyone, Tie Shu was the first to finish refining the flying sword. After a few breaths, Li Muhe finished refining.
The craftsman came over to appraise, "They are all medium-grade magic weapons at the perfect level." ”
The audience in the stands was amazed again, the genius was really powerful, and after refining at such a fast speed, it was still a magic weapon of the perfect level.
At this time, Wang Yicheng and the others also ended refining one after another, all of them were medium-grade magic weapons at the perfect level, and the difference was only the speed of time.
After waiting for more than an hour, the retest ended, and those who had not yet finished refining at this time were judged to fail.
Out of more than 5,000 craftsmen, only more than 1,000 passed the exam. In the end, all the craftsmen who passed the re-examination gathered together, and a total of more than 8,000 people passed the re-examination.
Suddenly, a craftsman sect walked up to the front and said, "There are too many people who have passed this retest, and the Refining Sect has decided to conduct a body refining competition. In the order of the competition, the selection starts with the top 500. ”
At this point, the craftsman who finally passed the re-examination complained. The top 500 will naturally not choose those who are as strong as themselves, but will choose weak opponents at the bottom of the ranking. In this way, the next 500 craftsmen will be unlucky.
Wang Yicheng always sneered and remained silent, he naturally knew that the so-called alchemy competition was aimed at himself.
Li Muhe, Zhong Ming and others began to choose their opponents, and they all chose the last ranked craftsmen. The alchemy of these craftsmen could not be compared to him at all. Suddenly, Tie Shu slowly walked up to Wang Yicheng and sneered, "I chose him." ”
In an instant, there was a sensation in the audience, and the competition of alchemy was already eye-catching. However, the gap between strength and weakness is too large, and it is inevitably boring. But the battle between the Iron Tree and the Masked Man is different, they are both top refining geniuses, and they are naturally masters of alchemy, such a battle is as fierce as a planet collision, which makes people feel excited when they think about it.
