At this time, within the formation, Luo Zheng also glanced at Zhuang Hong lightly, with a smile on his lips.
"This fool, you still think you have a chance to surpass me?"
Luo Zheng was secretly amused. The quality of his vitality was extremely strong. Even if he was in the Huayuan realm, it would not be exhausted within an hour, let alone the Juyuan realm now!
The reason why the refining speed is slowed down is because I don't want to lose too much.
Luo Zheng wanted to make Zhuang Hong have the illusion that he still had a chance to turn defeat into victory, so that he would fall short just when he thought he had the most hope.
"Hey, you dare to call me a waste. In this case, I will slow down a little and let you catch up."
With a flash of starry eyes, Luo Zheng once again controlled the power of the Earth Lung Fire, and the refining speed suddenly slowed down by a minute or two.
A quarter of an hour later, the gap between Zhuang Hong and Luo Zheng had narrowed to a quarter of a block of black jade ice, and the gap was still narrowing.
Zhuang Hong could surpass Luo Zheng almost at any time. At this time, the entire fighting platform became silent, and everyone was extremely nervous.
"It's a shame. We still have a quarter of an hour. According to Master Zhuang's refining speed, we can catch up even if the gap is half a piece, let alone only a quarter!"
"How can a master of weapons be defeated by a loser?"
"I didn't expect that this time the fighting weapon was much more exciting than I imagined. I originally thought it was a one-sided competition, but I didn't expect it to be so exciting, but in the end, Zhuang Hong was superior."
The people watching felt that Zhuang Hong would catch up soon, and they all started talking, as if the competition had lost its suspense.
However, after a while, everyone realized something was wrong.
At this time, Zhuang Hong caught up a little closer, but the gap between the two stopped at just a few centimeters. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't surpass Luo Zheng!
"Why is this happening? Isn't this waste's vitality exhausted? Why is it getting faster again?"
Zhuang Hong looked at the time, being consumed bit by bit, almost going crazy.
But his consumption is also huge, and the refining speed has reached the limit.
But at this time, Luo Zheng, as if he had been given a shot of blood, returned to the refining speed at the beginning.
Finally, the one-hour time limit was exhausted, and Zhuang Hong still did not surpass Luo Zheng.
The last piece of black jade ice, Luo Zheng's piece, had only a little less black jade than Zhuang Hong's.
"Damn it, how could I lose!"
Zhuang Hong's face was livid, he was ashamed and angry, he couldn't even raise his head, and he wanted to kill Luo Zheng in his heart.
"It's that boy, he's so cunning! He must have been deliberately reserved before, and waited until the end to use his strength! If I hadn't made a mistake myself, if his fire source didn't coincide with the black jade ice, how could I have done it?
Will lose!"
Zhuang Hong had been extremely confident before, thinking that he would win without a doubt, and even called Luo Zheng a waste.
Now he actually lost to a waste that he himself called a loser, and to a would-be weapon refiner.
If this gets out, no matter what the reason is, he won't have the face to see anyone.
The steward who received both parties in the weapon refining guild was also the referee of this weapon fight.
He stepped onto the high platform, carefully inspected the ice crystals refined by both parties, and then announced: "In this battle of weapons, the winner is Luo Zheng!"
"Did Zhuang Hong really lose?"
"How could you lose? It's really unbelievable!"
Although the refining masters in the refining guild have not yet confirmed the results, anyone with a bit of vision can still see it.
But when it was actually announced, it was still hard to imagine.
Almost everyone was dumbfounded and speechless, unable to believe that a master weapon refiner, a disciple of a well-known alchemy master, lost to a quasi weapon refiner.
At this moment, almost all eyes were focused on Yizhuang Hong.
"Hmph, it seems like a famous teacher and a disciple are nothing more than that. In such an important competition, there is a mistake!"
"You can't even compare to a quasi weapon refiner, so why call you a great weapon refiner? It's really funny."
"The level of the weapon refiners in the Ghost Face Merchant Alliance is so rubbish. I will never dare to buy magic weapons from the Ghost Face Merchant Alliance in the future."
Some people even ridiculed and ironically said that there is no difference between a fighting weapon and a martial arts competition in the ring. The winner is king and the strong is respected.
Losers are losers!
The countless praises he received before turned into ridicule at this time, and kept getting into Zhuang Hong's ears.
His face slowly became distorted, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.
"No, I didn't lose. This competition was unfair. I want to compete again! How could it be such a coincidence that this loser Luo Zheng, the questions he drew out by himself, and the materials he used were exactly in line with his passion?
The source and phase match, otherwise, how could he have such a fast refining speed? He must be cheating to have such a coincidence. I want to compete again to prove that he is not my opponent at all!"
Zhuang Hong suddenly pointed at Luo Zheng, his eyes were like swords, staring at Luo Zheng with hatred, and shouted sternly.
This Zhuang Hong, after being defeated, actually slandered Luo Zheng on the spot!
