At a glance, there were more than 400 weapon refiners participating in the second level assessment.
"The assessment is about to begin. I don't know what the content of the assessment will be?"
"I'm so nervous. I heard that in the peripheral assessment of previous weapon refining events, the elimination rate in the last two levels was very scary! In the end, the highest record in history of weapon refiners who were able to pass three levels in a row was only fifty-six."
"Then I have to tell you some very unfortunate news. I heard that the chief judge of the second level assessment is Elder Yuntong."
"Elder Yuntong has always been strict, and the elimination rate is estimated to have reached a new high!"
"Don't be nervous. I heard that Elder Yuntong takes special care of Yanchen, and Yanchen also needs to pass the test like us. Maybe Elder Yuntong will release some water to increase the passing rate."
…
Everyone looked nervous, looking around, and it was noisy.
At this time!
Lin Chen mingled among the crowd, standing out from the crowd. His whole body seemed to be exuding a powerful aura involuntarily, which made people intimidated and did not dare to approach easily.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" An old and majestic voice came out, and Yuntong was seen walking towards the scene, dressed in rich clothes, looking old and serious, with a serious look on his face.
In an instant!
The whole place fell silent, their eyes focused on Yuntong, and they were frightened.
"Elder Yuntong?" Yunyue frowned, rolled her eyes and said, "Father, this second trial was specially arranged by you, right?"
"No, it was Elder Yuntong who applied on his own initiative, and Elder Yuntong was also responsible for setting up the examination content. It seems that he was interested in testing Yan Chen." Yunlong smiled with great interest.
"If the difficulty of the assessment increases significantly, the elimination rate of this year's peripheral assessment may reach a new high." Yunyue said.
"The real elites are those who have overcome all obstacles, gone through trials, overcome many difficulties, and stand out at every level. This kind of weapon refining event is more meaningful." Yunlong said with a smile: "And Yan Chen made a big bet this time.
,Don’t you want to know about his weapon refining skills?”
"Although I don't know him well in terms of weapon refining, he will never let you down!" Yunyue vowed, she understands Lin Chen's character and will never do anything uncertain.
Moreover, Lin Chen has never lost.
now!
Yuntong looked around the audience and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is full of energy and confidence, so I won't show off and bring up the weapon refining platform!"
See you!
A group of Fenyun Valley disciples walked in groups of two, each carrying a weapon refining platform, twenty in total.
But on each refining platform, there are pieces of black iron.
Black stone!
This is the lowest level of weapon refining material. When did Fenyun Valley become so shabby?
"Black stone?" Lin Chen frowned. This is a lower-level material than black stone, and its melting point is very low. The quality is extremely poor. If the heat is not controlled, it will turn into powder.
"Black stone? How could it be black stone?"
"Aren't you providing refining materials for free? Isn't it too deceptive to take out these rubbish?"
"Yes, only novices who have just started can use black stone to practice. After all, we have been tested by the Weapon Refining Guild and are legitimate Weapon Refiners. If we use Black Stone as the refining material, it will be too humiliating to our status.
.”
…
There were various criticisms from the audience, and some people even couldn't help but protest.
"Quiet! Silence!" Yuntong shouted. He had already anticipated everyone's reaction and mused: "As the saying goes, if you get a weapon, you get a magic weapon! The content of this assessment is to test your control of the fire.
!”
Heat!?
Everyone came to the realization and broke out in cold sweat. No wonder a large number of people had to be eliminated in the peripheral examinations of previous weapon refining events.
After all, the stone quality of black stone is the worst, and it is extremely difficult to control the heat. Moreover, as a refiner, one has already given up on these low-grade stones. It is extremely difficult to avoid destroying black stone at all.
"I see, but this is too difficult!"
"Isn't it? Let alone spiritual fire, even real fire. As soon as it comes into contact with the black stone, it will easily destroy the stone, which is a great test of a person's control over the strength of the fire. And the higher the level of the weapon fire, the more difficult it is.
big."
"I thought that the Yuntong Elders would take special care of Yan Chen, but I didn't expect that the assessment content would become more demanding. I'm afraid that more than half of the people would have to be eliminated in this level, right?"
…
Everyone complained, and some even gave up the challenge.
"Isn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass me?" Lin Chen was stunned. Although he had mastered the refining of black iron, the quality of black stone was one step behind that of black iron.
With the power of Lin Chenxuan's Golden Flame and Jinghuo Cauldron, it would undoubtedly be a severe test to refine the black stone.
"Father, you shouldn't have any share in this bad idea, right?" Yunyue looked suspicious.
"You can't accuse me of being a father unjustly. Elder Yuntong is solely responsible for the peripheral assessment of being a father." Yunlong looked innocent and said to himself: "Elder Yuntong really has some skills, so we can initially test this little guy's skills!"
Jian Yan laughed proudly: "Haha! Interesting! So interesting! If you want to refine the black stone, even I may not be able to do it. I guess this kid will die at this level! Now I think of him kneeling down
The way he begs for mercy makes me feel excited in a different way!"
Gu Qi was also frightened and secretly broke into a cold sweat: "When did the peripheral assessment become so scary? Those who can pass it are all great people!"
That being said, the lower the level of the weapon you control, the easier it may be to control the intensity of the fire.
And Yuntong always said what he said. As long as he opened his mouth and released the assessment content, no matter how big his opinions were, he would never change. That is, he said: "Okay, every group of twenty people, the time is half a stick of incense! If you want to pass the test, you must
Within half a stick of incense, a weapon can be refined with black stone, of any quality!"
After a pause, Yuntong continued: "Although there are many stones, it cannot fail more than three times! Of course, you can also give up on your own, but I still hope that you can go all out!"
"Oh my god! It's only half a stick of incense!"
"What a surprise. I haven't refined black stone for many years. How can I adapt to the control of fire in such a short period of time? I might as well give up!"
"Forget it, there's no point complaining anymore, let's go all out! Only by challenging the difficulty will our level of weapon refining be improved, and maybe we can make some breakthroughs."
…
Everyone felt powerless and complained one after another. Of course, some people had a more positive attitude.
Although black stone is difficult to refine at their level, it does not mean it is impossible.
Soon!
Everyone lined up in order, but Lin Chen was not completely sure, so he lined up at the back and observed carefully.
then!
In the first group, twenty weapon refiners stepped forward to accept the challenge.
Because the quality of the black stone was extremely poor, the first refining was just a test of the water to get the best heat, so the first refining ended in failure.
After experiencing the first failure, you have to learn from it, your grasp of the strength of the fire needs to be improved to a certain extent, and you need to maintain the best mentality. Unfortunately, the whole army was still wiped out.
"No. 2 failed!"
"No. 7 failed!"
"No. 11 failed!"
…
Yuntong is selfless and will be eliminated immediately if he fails to refine three times.
It may be that the elimination rate is too high and the difficulty is extremely high. Many weapon refiners with unstable mentality simply choose to give up, shake their heads and sigh, and leave the game in frustration. It is really cruel.
Although Lin Chen did not try it, his sharp eyes carefully observed the refining process of each refiner. He looked at the rock patterns, heard the ants fighting, and carefully observed the strength of the fire and the texture of the black stone.
changes to make the best fire determination.
Therefore, Lin Chen was the quietest person in the audience.
Yuntong secretly rejoiced and smiled playfully: "Little guy, this should be a test of your weapon refining skills, right?"
finally!
Before the time for half-stick incense arrived, the first group of twenty weapon refiners who tested the water were all brutally eliminated. They kept mumbling, expressing their dissatisfaction with the content of the assessment.
"Next group!" Yuntong Lang said.
The second group, under the ultra-high elimination rate, endured even heavier psychological pressure.
Fortunately, someone in this group actually passed the level, and there were two of them. Although the refined weapons were not satisfactory, they could still be considered to have passed the level.
then!
The third group, the fourth group, the fifth group...
The second level assessment is in full swing, but the elimination rate is still high. More than a hundred people came down, and only about eight or nine people barely passed the level.
How cruel!
Each of the weapon refiners who had not yet had their turn for the assessment was already under a mountain of stress and dripping with cold sweat.
Seeing so many relatively capable weapon refiners being brutally eliminated, Yunyue couldn't help but secretly worry: "Lin Chen is so strong, but Black Stone is extremely fragile. You have to grasp the strength of the fire better than anyone else."
It’s much more difficult.”
"Yes, it can be seen that this little guy's mentality is quite good." Yunlong smiled happily.
"Don't underestimate him, he will never fail!" Yunyue hummed.
"Of course, how can the person my precious daughter likes be different?" Yunlong smiled slightly.
"Father, if you say that again, Yue'er will ignore you!" Yunyue snorted.
Jian Yan has also been secretly paying attention to Lin Chen. Seeing the weapon refiners being brutally eliminated, he smiled smugly: "Jie Jie~ Boy, are you feeling guilty? Even Fenyun Valley is helping me to make things difficult for you. Look,
How arrogant do you want to be!"
on the contrary!
Lin Chen's face was calm. Under the artistic conception of the unity of man and nature, he could feel more clearly, see more thoroughly, and he probably had a better idea of what was going on. In his mind, he was also following the refining masters, simulating the refining of the black stone.
"No. 3 failed!"
"No. 8 failed!"
"No. 10 failed!"
…
Yuntong was decisive and sharp, like a ruthless black-faced door god, ruthlessly shutting out the weapon refiners one by one.
The whole scene seemed to be covered with layers of clouds, and it was as quiet as death.
finally!
After half a day, most of the weapon refiners had been eliminated, and they were getting closer and closer to Lin Chen's group.
Those who were paying attention to Lin Chen were secretly nervous and worried about Lin Chen.
After all, with Lin Chen's strength, the power of the weapons and fire he controls is definitely not weak. To refine the lowest black stone is equivalent to cutting tofu with a knife. It is extremely fragile. If you are not careful, it will turn into powder.
