The first place, without a doubt, belonged to Lady Nangong.
His total score was 2,900. He was 55 points ahead of the second place, Master Ouyang, and he was in the first place.
Almost everyone had expected this ranking, including Master Ouyang himself.
Lady Nangong was worthy of being the champion of Sister Nine in a row.
The rankings on the hologram screen appeared one after another. Basically, there was not much difference between the total score of the second round. At most, there was only a difference of one or two places. For example, Pang Hui, who was in eighth place before, was now in seventh place. As for Lin Yan, who was in tenth place before, was now in eleventh place.
Basically, it was very difficult to make a difference in the score of representative works.
And the ranking of the first round did not mean anything. As long as one entered the top 30, it was enough.
"No, there is a gap." Lin Feng's eyes were burning.
"Lady Nangong, Master Ouyang, and Wang Bo, the representative works of these three people are above 900 points. And from the fourth place onwards, no one can exceed 900 points."
"Similar to the refining of the first two rounds, the evaluation of representative works is also based on the quality and grade of the work. The grade is especially important! If my guess is correct, Lady Nangong, Master Ouyang, and Wang Bo must have submitted works of 'Perfect' grade. "
Lin Feng thought to himself and slowly nodded.
Although Perfect grade was extremely difficult to refine, the representative works had at least ten years of preparation time!
They could choose to refine the best one they had ever refined!
Although the majority of Weapon Refiners would never be able to refine a 'perfect' Earth-grade product, there were still a small number of Weapon Refiners who had the ability to 'accidentally' refine an Earth-grade product. Usually, these Weapon Refiners' refining skills had already reached the pinnacle of perfection.
For example, Lady Nangong and Master Ouyang.
"With a difference of 95 points, I still have a chance!" Lin Feng's eyes were bright as he looked at the hologram screen in the sky.
At this moment, the list of the first 22 people to advance had already appeared, and only the last eight were left. Everyone held their breaths and waited anxiously. Yumo, for example, clenched her fists tightly, her beautiful eyes flashing, and her perky chest rising and falling slightly.
Very nervous!
In an instant —
"Pa!" A ray of light flashed, and cheers resounded.
Rank 23: Lin clan, Lin Yumo. Total points: 2,285 points!
"Good!" Lin Feng looked at the blushing Yumo and felt happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
To be able to enter the second round of the Armament Master Competition, to be able to achieve such results in his first competition, Yumo's efforts had paid off. Most importantly …
It was a kind of affirmation!
It affirmed her ability as an Armament Master.
"His representative work is 820 points," Lin Feng said softly.
"I'm afraid this score isn't even close to the average score. Luckily, Yumo's score for the two rounds is high enough."
Lin Feng nodded. Luckily, the score of his representative work was indeed difficult to pull apart.
Although Yumo's ranking dropped from 21st to 23rd, it didn't matter. What was important was that she had advanced and officially entered the second round. At this moment, the Lin clan, led by Lin Zhen, was overjoyed. On the other hand, Pang Hui's face darkened, and his brows furrowed.
Lin Yumo's rise would bring great pressure to the Pang family.
…
The names of the people who had advanced to the second round appeared one by one.
The total score dropped bit by bit. From Lin Yumo's 2,285 points to the 28th place, his score had already dropped below the 2,200 mark.
29th place, Hong Yuyan of the Hong Sect. Total points: 2,188 points!
"It's about the same as what I expected."
"Although there are additional points due to the new rules, I didn't take into account whether the Astral Weapon or Astral Treasure was proficient in this point, so it's still considered a tie."
"The last 30th place is indeed around the '2200' cutoff line."
Lin Feng thought to himself, his eyes flashing.
If it was as expected, the score of his representative work should be over 900 points.
Although it might not be as good as Lady Nangong's 971 points and Master Ouyang's 966 points, since the Rolling Curtain Shuttle he had refined was only a Level One Astral Treasure, perhaps it could reach 950 points. Then his total score should be 2,180 points!
Perhaps …
There was still hope for him to advance to the second round!
"Hua! ~" The light flashed. Everyone's eyes widened as they waited for the final name to be announced. Lin Yumo clenched her small hands, her soft breasts rising and falling. She was much more nervous than herself at that time. Even Lin Yan was pursing his lips tightly.
30th place!
Huangfu Clan, Huangfu Wen. Total points: 2,181 points.
There were cries of surprise. On the Tōhoku's Stairway to Heaven, Huangfu Wen was beaming with joy. Yumo and Lin Yan couldn't hide their disappointment. The Lin clan elders, including Lin Zhen, also sighed and shook their heads, feeling sorry for Lin Feng.
Although they knew the chances weren't high, they still held onto a fluke mentality.
Lady Nangong and Master Ouyang both looked at Lin Feng, each with different gazes.
"As expected, it's still a bit lacking." Lin Feng smiled indifferently, but he didn't care too much.
As long as he did his best, he could calmly accept the result. Failure in the Weapon Refining Master Competition didn't mean anything.
The current him didn't urgently need the title of "Honorary Elder" of the Union of Artificers.
But …
In the blink of an eye, a deafening sound suddenly rang out.
Lin Feng exclaimed softly, but he felt countless gazes converging on him, and he was instantly curious.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. Even if he didn't raise his head, he had already guessed that the 31st place was probably him.
The 30th place, Huangfu Wen, had a total points of 2,181 points.
The total points that he had estimated before was 2,180 points, which was slightly inferior.
Raising his head, Lin Feng looked at the screen in the sky, but he was stunned.
It can't be?
How did he end up in 30th place?
Blinking his eyes, Lin Feng's eyes instantly brightened. In an instant, he understood why the loud cheers came.
His total points were actually exactly the same as Huangfu Wen's!
The same 2,181 points!
"Tied for 30th place?" Lin Feng couldn't help but laugh.
However, he completely didn't expect that he would actually be able to enter 30th place and catch the last bus.
Although it was a tie for 30th place, which was quite difficult, but what did it matter?
"That's great, Lin Da Ge!" Lin Yumo's small face smiled sweetly, unable to contain her joy. Lin Yan also lightly stroked his long beard and couldn't help but nod. Only Pang Hui's face was ashen and pale. He never expected that the two rising stars of the Lin clan would actually be able to enter the second round!
Especially that 'Lin Feng', who had advanced to the second round with only two rounds of results.
It was simply unbelievable!
Recalling the words that he had said to Lin Yan before, Pang Hui only felt his face burning. He had lost all his face.
"Wow!"
"Too awesome!"
"Master Lin Feng, you're really awesome!"
"Getting 0 points in the first round and still entering the second round, my idol!"
…
Like the roar of thunder, the scene seemed to have gone out of control and was in chaos.
At this moment, the famous blacksmiths like Lady Nangong and Master Ouyang were completely ignored. There was only one name that everyone was talking about —
Lin Feng!
His reputation had spread far and wide.
"Congratulations." A clear and elegant voice entered his ears. Lin Feng turned his head.
He saw Madam Nangong walking over with a graceful smile on her face.
"Thank you." Lin Feng responded politely.
"Entering the second round is well-deserved." Lady Nangong's voice was gentle like a spring breeze. "I'm looking forward to the next round."
"Me too." Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
…
Some were happy while others were sad. It had always been like this.
Some were as proud as Lin Feng and Lin Yumo, and some were like the Pang family, who were almost completely wiped out.
Two new faces entered the second round. Whether it was Lin Feng or Lin Yumo, it was their first time participating. In the history of the Blacksmith Competition, this was extremely rare, not to mention that both of them came from the same blacksmith family —
Shiluo County, the Lin clan!
They were truly famous!
The Lin clan was now famous in the Vermilion Bird Continent.
Lin Zhen was already grinning from ear to ear. Extreme misfortune had turned into bliss. Because of the internal strife in Lam Tok Tei, the family's strength had regressed, and their reputation had weakened a lot. They had just obtained the title of the second blacksmith family in Shiluo County, and they were about to lose it and fall back to third place. But unexpectedly …
Now, they had been reborn!
None of them had expected such an outcome.
Lin Yumo and Lin Feng, two rising stars, had only been prepared to "hone" themselves, but they had created a miracle!
"Haha! Hahaha!!! "Lin Zhen laughed heartily.
Including Lin Zhan and the elders of the Lin clan, they were all completely excited.
In this round, the Lin clan had not only won back everything they had lost, but they had also soared to the sky! Not only did they retain the title of the second blacksmith family in Shiluo County, but they also had the ability to challenge the Pang family's position in Shiluo County after this Blacksmith Competition!
A great turnaround!
…
There was no additional competition.
Lin Feng and Huang Fuwen entered the second round of the Blacksmith Competition together.
After a short period of rest, the thirty-one Weapon Refiner s were already hesitating and preparing. For most of them, the first round was just a warm-up. For example, Pang Hui, Lin Yan, and the others were never worried about not being able to enter the second round.
Now, the real competition was about to begin. It was a competition of strength.
According to the rules of the previous competitions, the second round would determine the top 10!
The top 10 would not only enter the final round of the Blacksmith Competition, but they would also obtain the title of "honorary elder" of the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union, enjoying status and power.
It was very important!
"I wonder what the competition will be?" Lin Feng was quite curious.
Sensing the hostility gathered around him, he couldn't help but smile.
Although he had entered the second round, he only knew how difficult this Blacksmith Competition was after actually participating.
With his strength, this was about the end of the competition.
"Except for the Curtain Shuttle, I don't know how to refine any other Astral Treasures.
No matter how we compete, we will lose. "
Lin Feng smiled indifferently, but he didn't care.
If he could enter the top 30, he would have achieved his goal.
Even if he stopped here, he would be able to answer to his family.
At this moment —
"Dong!" The crisp sound of a bell rang, and the venue suddenly quieted down.
The President of the Union of Artificers, Wang Shi, slowly stood up with a faint smile. "Next, I will announce the rules of the second round of the competition."
In an instant, everyone's ears perked up.
Lin Feng's eyes were also burning.
