After Yang Li returned to the Sun family's encampment, he continued to research on weapon forging. He felt that in this competition, the weapon that would be forged in the end wouldn't be as simple as a Profound Grade weapon, there might even be an Earth Grade weapon.
In this way, his weapon forging level seemed to be a little lacking. Unfortunately, a day passed too quickly and before Yang Li could forge a few Profound Grade weapons, it had already passed.
"Let's carry on with today's competition first and continue our research after it's over." After Yang Li heard Sun Miao calling him from outside the door, he slowly woke up and walked out of the house. The Sun family naturally accompanied him again.
It was just that he was slightly surprised by the appearance of a person who set off with him this time.
"Long Ci, why are you here?" Yang Li looked doubtfully at Long Ci who seemed to stand out among the Sun family and asked.
Long Ci glared at him and said, "You still have the cheek to say that! After you were captured by the Tribunal Council, I went to the Tribunal Council! You should know the result too. I made a trip back to the clan and planned to invite my father over. Who would have thought that just as I came over with my father, I heard the news of you participating in the Armament Craftsmen's Conference! "
"Then someone said that you went back with the Sun family's elder. I guessed that you would be here so I came here to take a look."
Long Ci didn't continue speaking up to this point but Yang Li could also guess that the Sun family's elder should know that he and Long Ci had become partners, so he let Long Ci stay here.
Thinking of this, Yang Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Long Ci, I appreciate your kindness. If you need help in the future, just ask me. But I'm a little busy these few days. After the Armament Craftsmen's Conference, I will definitely visit Uncle Long Qin."
Long Ci nodded in understanding and said, "That's enough. Go participate in the competition first, and we'll settle the score after it's over. I saw a few jars of aged spirit wine when I was strolling around the stalls yesterday, and I gave one to my father. He said it was very good, and I'll definitely drink you down after the competition!"
"It's just drinking. I wonder who will drink!" Yang Li said generously. Then, the group walked towards the square while talking and laughing.
The second round of the tournament was still held in the plaza. However, the format of the tournament was different this time. It was an opponent system. Everyone would choose their opponent by drawing lots.
Once the time came, Mo Xiuzhu appeared above the square again and said, "The second round of the competition will be decided by drawing lots! These 500 jade slips, each take one! Those with the same number will be your opponent! "
After that, Mo Xiuzhu took out 500 jade slips from his Interspatial Ring and used his spiritual energy to control them to float above the square.
Everyone was very reassured about the jade slips. After all, there was no way to manipulate this thing. Moreover, with so many people watching, even if someone wanted to tamper with it, there was no way to do it without leaving a trace.
Many of the participants also took out a jade slip and looked at the numbers inside.
Yang Li also took out a jade slip. The number on the jade slip was 87. However, Yang Li didn't know who his opponent was. The final result still needed to be announced by the Pill-Tool Union.
After everyone took out their jade slips, Mo Xiuzhu said loudly, "Now, each of your opponents have been shown in your jade slips. You can see who your opponents are through the jade slips."
When Yang Li heard this, he sank his Divine Sense into the jade slip again and learned the name of his opponent. His opponent was the third place in the screening round, Yu Tian!
"This is a bit interesting. Putting me against the third place in the first round, are they planning to force me to use my Conflagrated Knowledge Sea?" Yang Li looked at Yu Tian's name and chuckled. Although he didn't want to expose his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea in advance, if there was no other way, he would still do so.
After all, the purpose of participating in the Great Competition was to win the championship. Although it was a trump card, if one couldn't even pass the first round, there was no point in keeping it a secret.
Seeing that everyone had finished reading their jade slips, Mo Xiuzhu said again, "Next, I will announce the rules of the second round!"
"There will be a total of 250 groups of opponents in the second round. There will be five rounds, with 50 groups participating in each round. In The Field, you will be given the corresponding number."
"After the start of each round, everyone will stand in front of the number they belong to, and we will provide you with ores."
"Everyone will use the same ores to refine weapons. The main thing is to see the quality of the weapon or armor you are refining! The one with the highest quality wins! "
"At the same time, the materials provided for each round are different, so don't think about practicing before the round!"
"In the process of the round, there is no chance for failure to start again! If you fail, you will be directly eliminated! If you fail, you will be eliminated at the same time! "
"If the two people successfully refine the same weapon, the one with the higher quality wins. If the two people refine weapons of the same quality, the one with the faster speed wins! Are you clear?! "
When everyone heard this rule, there was an uproar. Many people's eyes became a little puzzled, and someone even said directly, "Vice Sect Leader Mo! This rule is too cruel! Artifact Refining itself has a chance of success and failure! You can't deny us just because of one failure! "
In The Field, many young Artifact Refiners nodded in agreement, "That's right, that's right, this is a little too unreasonable!"
"You! Eliminated! " After hearing that person's words, Mo Xiuzhu opened his mouth coldly. Although he had a mild temper, rules were rules, and they could not be questioned!
That young Artifact Refiner was then chased off the stage by several Artifact Refiners of the Dan and Tool Alliance. Only then did Mo Xiuzhu opened his mouth to explain, "Artifact Refiners do have a chance of success and failure, but you haven't listened to our requirements yet, and you are questioning us. This is not tolerated by our Dan and Tool Alliance!"
"Now tell me! Can you still fail to refine a Yellow-Grade weapon?!!! If you can! Then you can leave the stage now!! "
Mo Xiuzhu's voice was cold and firm. Hearing Mo Xiuzhu's words, the people under the stage calmed down. Indeed, if they failed to refine a Yellow-Grade weapon, there was indeed no need for them to continue to participate. Only now did they understand why such cruel rules were set.
Yang Li's face remained calm from beginning to end. Even if the rules were really cruel, he wouldn't be afraid, not to mention that although the rules were cruel, the content of the competition was very simple.
Seeing that everyone on the stage had calmed down, Yang Kai smiled disdainfully, then calmed his mind and waited for Mo Xiuzhu to announce the start of the first round of the competition.
Mo Xiuzhu saw the crowd quiet down and coldly snorted, "If there are no objections, cultivators with numbers one to fifty can stay, the rest can leave."
Hearing this, everyone withdrew from In The Field one after another, leaving only one hundred people with numbers one to fifty.
Mo Xiuzhu then waved his hand and dozens of cultivators behind him entered In The Field, dividing the field into fifty positions, each with a huge number.
The one hundred Artifact Refiners who participated in the competition immediately entered the field corresponding to their number. After glancing around and finding that no one was worthy of his attention, Yang Li closed his eyes and after thinking about it carefully, decided not to use his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea in the first round and simply use his Divine Sense to deal with his opponent.
However, since his opponent was able to obtain third place in the refined ores, he must have a lot of means, so he couldn't underestimate him. In this way, when he engraved his Divine Sense, he could use his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea; after all, it would be difficult for outsiders to detect it.
Moreover, using his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea to engrave an array would improve the quality of his weapon to a certain extent. In addition, his Yellow-Grade weapon refining skills were very outstanding, so he had nothing to fear.
After making up his mind, Yang Li opened his eyes and looked at the competition In The Field. At this time, In The Field had already started the competition according to Mo Xiuzhu's order.
These Artifact Refiners were all focused on refining their weapons. Yang Li glanced at them and thought to himself, "It seems that someone is going to fail. Although the refining process is simple, the cruelty of the rules has brought them a lot of pressure."
Sure enough, just as Yang Li expected, not long after he finished thinking about it, an Artefact Refiner failed to refine a weapon. The power of his Spiritual Sense was too great, which directly crushed the weapon, causing the ores to fall to the ground.
The onlookers suddenly cast a surprised look at this Artifact Refiner with thick disdain, but Yang Li just shook his head and no longer paid attention to this Artifact Refiner.
Although in his opinion, the contestants In The Field were not very good, there were still a few people whose refining was worth watching, but it was only worth watching.
The refinement of yellow-grade weapons was already very easy for blacksmiths of their level to refine, and their speed was also extremely fast.
In less than an hour, someone had successfully forged a weapon and stood up. Yang Li's gaze also followed. Just by relying on his sharp eyes, he could see that the weapon that the person had forged was a high-grade yellow-rank weapon.
His opponent suddenly felt a little pressure, but he did not lose his sense of propriety. Instead, he began to refine his weapon more attentively. This kind of calm temperament attracted Yang Li and the surrounding people to look up to him.
With the success of the first contestant, the other people also began to stand up one after another. During this period, there were many people who were confused by the success of their opponents, and the weapons they refined also became waste.
After an hour, there were no more Artifact Refiners In The Field who were refining weapons. Only then did Mo Xiuzhu let the cultivators behind him go down to check the quality of the weapons.
In just a short quarter of an hour, the results came out, and the first round of the competition was completely over.
Mo Xiuzhu obviously did not intend to give the rest of the young Artifact Refiners any buffer time, and said loudly, "The second round of the competition begins! Artifact Refiners with numbers 51 to 100, enter the field! "
Yang Li's number was 87, so he was naturally among them. He followed the crowd into the field, found his position, and stood still, then closed his eyes, waiting for Mo Xiuzhu to announce the start of the competition.
At this moment, a somewhat stiff and strange voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.
"Hello, I'm Yu Tian, please give me some pointers!"
Yang Li immediately opened his eyes, and at this moment, stood a somewhat skinny young man in a set of white robes. The robes were covered with cloud patterns, and the cuffs were gilded with embroidery, which looked a little strange on him.
Yu Tian's face also seemed a little delicate and pretty. His eyebrows were thin and long like a woman's, and his eyes were extremely pure and clear, giving people a very clean feeling. His nose was straight, and his lips were thin. His entire face looked delicate and pretty like a woman's.
"Hello, Yang Li, I don't dare to give you pointers, but I'll do my best." After responding indifferently, Yang Li once again closed his eyes, not planning to say anything else.
