Niu Xian secretly made up his mind to regain his place in the second round of tests!
"I, Niu Xian, am the genius of the blacksmithing family, how could I lose to an unknown guy?"
Niu Xian is full of confidence in his own strength.
After the defeat in the first game, Niu Xian made timely adjustments and concentrated all his energy to prepare for the second game.
He believes that as long as he shows his true level, no one will be his opponent!
One of the main reasons for leaving the family and coming to the Shenbing Pavilion this time is that I think that my forging skills have been completed and it is time to make a name for myself!
As a blacksmith, the best opportunity to make a name for yourself is to forge your own magical weapon in the Divine Weapon Pavilion!
How could he, with such great ambitions, be defeated by a layman just after entering the city?
Niu Xian turned on the stove and looked at Ye Chen with his peripheral vision.
When he discovered that Ye Chen's tempering movements were extremely unfamiliar and he didn't even know how to use the stove, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically in his heart.
"Trash, in this third round of testing, you've exposed your secret!"
Niu Xian snorted, roared, and poured more spiritual power into the furnace, causing the flames inside to become stronger and stronger.
This first step of tempering is a great test of a blacksmith's spiritual power reserve and ability to continuously control temperature.
Therefore, for a blacksmith, he is also a powerful monk.
None of the blacksmiths present had a cultivation level lower than the Collapse of Heaven Realm.
And Niu Xian himself has entered the late stage of Collapse Heaven Realm, and can be said to be a genius in both forging and cultivation.
It is precisely because of this reason that De Niuxian believes that there is no one who is superior to his peers.
Only people like the elder of Shenbing Pavilion can compete with him in blacksmithing skills!
The ore is continuously melted in the calcination of the fierce flames, and a large number of impurities are continuously burned at this time, leaving behind the purest metal.
After nearly half an hour of tempering, Niu Xian finally completed the tempering of the Wind Shadow Stone.
He took out the almost liquid Wind Shadow Stone from the stove and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
When the surrounding blacksmiths saw that Niu Xian had completed the first stage of tempering so quickly, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
This tempering speed is simply too excellent.
"He is worthy of being a genius who came out of Beishan Niu family. This tempering technique is even inferior to me!"
When Elder Song saw this, he did not hesitate to praise him, smiled and nodded.
Looking at Ye Chen, Elder Song discovered that until now, Ye Chen was still playing with the stove, as if he was a novice who had just learned blacksmithing, and could not even convey the most basic spiritual power and control the temperature of the stove.
"well…"
Elder Song sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Ye Chen's blacksmithing skills were worse than he imagined, and he was probably worse than even the most basic apprentice.
Such a technique, let alone tempering third-grade spiritual materials, even ordinary black iron, is simply impossible!
Compared with Niu Xian, this is like heaven and earth!
After thinking about it, Elder Song decided to forcibly terminate Ye Chen's competition, because if it continued like this, it would be an insult to the Shenbing Pavilion.
If outsiders knew that a layman was actually mixed in during the Shenbing Pavilion's city entry test, he would probably be ridiculed by everyone in the world!
And not only must Ye Chen's competition be suspended, but he must also be severely punished to serve as a warning to those who want to fish in troubled waters in the future!
However, just when Elder Song was about to speak, he saw Ye Chen taking the ore directly out of the furnace.
It seems that they are planning to completely abandon the use of furnaces to quench ore.
Immediately afterwards, a scene that shocked all the blacksmiths including Elder Song and even Niu Xian appeared. Ye Chen actually dragged the ore with one hand, and fierce flames suddenly condensed on his palm, wrapping all the ore.
“Humph, it’s true that the ignorant are fearless!”
Seeing this, Niu Xian couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "Even if you are a fire cultivator, your cultivation level must be at least above the Supreme Realm. Only the flame temperature is enough to quench the impurities in the ore. You are just a Fanjiang Realm monk. You don't need to
Use the stove to intensify the flame temperature, you can't even melt the surface of this ore..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the scene that happened in front of him completely froze the expression on Niu Xian's face.
I saw the flame on Ye Chen's palm. As the color continued to change, the temperature gradually began to rise. When the flame completely turned golden yellow, it actually burned and distorted the surrounding space.
The terrifying high temperature swept directly and continuously in all directions, even making the surrounding blacksmiths feel like they were being burned by needles.
"This guy is really messing around!"
Upon seeing this, Elder Song waved his hand and directly released a small barrier to isolate everyone from Ye Chen, thus avoiding causing a huge commotion.
But when everyone came back to their senses, they realized how powerful Ye Chen's power of fire was.
Is this something a monk from the Fanjiang Realm can perform?
While everyone was watching in shock, the ore in Ye Chen's palm melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The impurities in it were directly vaporized in an instant.
The third-grade spiritual material Wuhuan Gold turned into a puddle of black water so easily. The whole process took almost only half a quarter of an hour!
Niu Xian was speechless, looking at Ye Chen's expression as if he were looking at a ghost.
This kind of terrifying fire power was the only one he had ever seen in his life!
"Do you have a fire-type divine inscription?"
Niu Xian took a deep breath and asked in shock.
"You still have some knowledge."
Ye Chen glanced at the former, his calm tone as if he was talking to a child about a trivial matter.
He had always wanted to imitate others in using furnaces to temper, but he couldn't get it right the first time. Then he had a sudden idea and used the method of alchemy to temper spiritual materials, and it turned out to be really successful.
Niu Xian's scalp was about to explode when he saw this. He had never felt so aggrieved since he was a child.
He has always shown his holiness in front of others, so how can there be any reason for others to show off in front of him?
But Ye Chen actually did it. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't accept it. He would definitely not be able to quench the ore with his bare hands.
This bad breath can only be swallowed temporarily.
"Humph, Ye Chen, don't think that tempering is too simple. After tempering with fire, you have to repeatedly hammer and beat the spiritual materials with a sledgehammer to further refine the purity and hardness. This step is called 'Thousands of Temperings'.
Even if you have the help of fire divine inscriptions, you still can't complete this step!"
Niu Xian spit on the palms of his hands, rubbed them together, then raised a giant hammer as tall as a person and slammed it down on the raw materials below.
