Top-tier!
Exclamations and praises could be heard all around her.
This was already the second round of refinement, and the materials were all different. It was already a miracle that she could complete the refinement, let alone a top-tier one. However, this was nothing to Lady Nangong. Even after the refinement was completed, Lady Nangong didn't show any emotion.
This was just her normal performance.
"Bottomless," Wang Shi praised.
"She's getting stronger every time. Not to mention the Vermilion Bird Continent, her refining skills are top-notch even in the entire southern region." Ouyang Kuo's eyes flashed with admiration.
Wang Shi nodded with a smile. "It seems that I can set my mind at ease."
Ouyang Kuo's eyes flashed. "With Lady Nangong's leadership, the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union will definitely have a new outlook and a new breakthrough."
"Alright, Old Kuo." Wang Shi glared. "Are you saying that I'm useless?"
"No, no, that's not what I meant, President." Ouyang Kuo covered his mouth and said, "What I meant was …"
"Haha." Wang Shi laughed heartily. "I'm just joking with you."
Ouyang Kuo's expression softened when he heard this, and he smiled bitterly.
…
799 points!
Lady Nangong's second round of refinement was also very high.
It was almost the full score of 800 points, which was close to the top-tier grade. It was enough to show how satisfied Wang Shi was.
In actuality, Madam Nangong's refinement was indeed worthy of this astonishing score. An Earth Rank Fifth Layer Astral Treasure, the difficulty was considerably high, let alone that Madam Nangong had refined it under the circumstances of lacking several kinds of materials. Astral Treasures were different from Astral Weapons and Astral Armors. Even the slightest mistake could cause the entire refinement to fail. However …
Lady Nangong still completed the refinement perfectly.
She even completed it on the seventh floor of the Tōhoku Stairway!
This was strength, a truly unparalleled refining technique.
No matter if it was Wang Bo or Master Ouyang, at this moment, they were nothing but the dazzling star that was Lady Nangong.
Multiplied by twice the coefficient, it was 1598 points.
Including the 1,960 points from the first round, Lady Nangong's total score was 3,555 points.
He was far ahead!
Lin Feng, who was in second place, only had 1550 points, a difference of 2005 points.
The gap between them was huge!
"As expected, the champion is Lady Nangong."
"That goes without saying. Although Master Lin Feng is powerful, the older, the wiser."
"There's no chance. Even if Master Lin Feng gets full marks, he'll only get 2000 points. There's no way he can catch up to Lady Nangong."
"Oh, the champion of the tenth Blacksmith Competition! After today, Lady Nangong will be the new President of the Zhuque Chau Refiners' Union. That's awesome! "
…
The surroundings were noisy, full of praises.
The title of the number one blacksmith in the Zhuque Continent belonged to Lady Nangong. Even the Nangong family was in high spirits, vaguely ranked first among the three blacksmith families. However, at this moment, Lady Nangong frowned and looked around, as if she was looking for something.
Lin Feng still hadn't returned!
At this moment, there were still more than two hours before the end of the competition.
Although there were some doubts in her eyes, Lady Nangong didn't dwell on it for too long. After thinking for a while, she entered the cube space again.
She didn't want it to end here.
"Ah? Lady Nangong still wants to refine? "
"Nonsense. The final competition isn't decided in one go. Of course, the higher the score, the better."
"Strive for perfection and keep breaking through. This is a true blacksmith!"
…
"She wants to surpass herself," Ouyang Kuo murmured.
Wang Shi smiled faintly. "Her opponent has always been herself."
"Is it because of this' greed 'that she has such excellent refining skills?" Ouyang Kuo was convinced.
Staring at Lady Nangong, Wang Shi's eyes shone brightly. He said slowly, "This time, I think she will challenge the 'eighth level' of the Tōhoku Stairway to Heaven that no one has ever succeeded in refining!"
"Winning by playing it safe. That's her personality." Ouyang Kuo nodded.
"Yes." Wang Shi said, "She will first ensure that her score is enough to win the championship. Then, she will challenge and see if she can create another miracle." Shaking his head, Wang Shi said seriously, "Unfortunately, being cautious and playing it safe can be an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage for blacksmiths."
"We are already lacking a lot of materials for the third round." Ouyang Kuo sighed.
If there were enough materials, the two believed that with Lady Nangong's skills, it would be very possible for her to complete the refinement on the eighth level.
But now, the time and place were no longer available.
…
The blacksmith competition was bustling.
At this moment, Lin Feng was also making use of the time to comprehend.
"There is no problem with the refining skills."
"The key lies in the Dao of Constellation."
Lin Feng frowned deeply and fell into deep thought.
With his current ability, perfectly replicating the entire refining process was not a problem. But …
Just like in the first round, this kind of simple 'replication' was very dangerous. It was like stepping on a steel wire. It was very easy to step on nothing. In the last round, he was purely lucky to complete the refinement with the devouring flames. But would he be so lucky this time?
He could only do it once, but not twice!
Leaving his fate in the hands of 'the heavens' was a mistake in itself.
Although the 40 materials were all present when he left, he would definitely be missing some when he returned to the venue after two hours. In order to make up for the difference in materials and complete the entire refining process, he had to have a deep understanding of the Dao of Constellation this time. Only then would he have a chance!
"I will definitely be able to comprehend it within the time limit!"
"Definitely!"
Lin Feng's eyes glistened and he maintained his state.
Although the consumption was huge, it didn't matter.
Only this time.
…
He comprehended rapidly.
For ordinary warriors, a few years was probably too short to comprehend the fourth level of Star Technique.
However, Lin Feng was different.
The Star Cultivators of the special-type main star had already reached the peak of the Star Sector-level. His constellation sensing ability was the strongest among the seven main stars. Coupled with his state and the Star Sky Pupils ability, comprehension was much easier. And the most important thing was …
Whiplash and pressure!
The constant pressure whipped Lin Feng to grit his teeth and comprehend.
Those who were not determined would be crushed by the pressure. However, those who had strong beliefs and willpower could continuously improve under the pressure!
Lin Feng was one of them.
"Yes, that's it."
"Soaring Phoenix Wings is actually a process of composition, a perfect drawing of the essence."
"I kind of understand now."
He continuously comprehended and simulated the refinement process in his mind.
It could be said that Lin Feng's comprehension was divided into two parts. He refined over and over again and was extremely familiar with it.
The memories in his mind were clear and perfect. Every movement and detail was replicated. The entire Dao of the Constellations was like a painting that was slowly being drawn out. In his eyes, a huge flaming phoenix was gradually being drawn out in his mind, spreading its wings and soaring in the sky.
The gently floating wings shone with the extreme light of the flames and fused perfectly with the Rebirth Flames.
The feeling was getting more and more familiar and intense!
Lin Feng's comprehension was gradually getting better.
…
The Weapon Refinement Master Competition continued.
The later it was, the more difficult it was to refine. Four hours had already passed and every minute that passed was a heavy pressure for the contestants. This was because apart from Lady Nangong and Master Ouyang, there was no third person who completed two rounds of refinement.
The score was quite low.
Even though Master Ouyang completed two rounds of refinement, his total score was not even comparable to Lin Feng's score.
It was very difficult to refine on the seventh floor of Tōhoku's Celestial Stairway!
"It's been 15 minutes. Is Lady Nangong still not refining?"
"Stupid. That's the eighth floor of Tōhoku's Celestial Stairway. I heard that the flames are close to the Saint-level. Do you think it's so easy to refine?"
"She has to get used to the flames on the eighth floor first. Otherwise, she will definitely fail."
…
No one was interested in who would be the champion of this year's Weapon Refinement Master Competition.
This was because no one could surpass Lady Nangong's score. That high and mighty 3,555 points had long been locked in as the champion of this year's competition. Even Lin Feng, who was in second place, was a full 2,500 points behind. It was a score that was difficult to get close to.
Everyone's attention was focused on Lady Nangong —
Could she create another miracle?
Complete the refinement of the eighth floor of Tōhoku's Celestial Stairway?
It was very difficult.
The difficulty was definitely not lower than refining the 'perfect grade' on the seventh floor.
Just by looking at Lady Nangong's solemn expression at this moment, the looming light outside her body, and the crazy flames could be seen. The flames here were more than ten times more terrifying than those on the seventh floor. Even though Madam Nangong was calm and collected on the seventh floor, here …
It was difficult to move forward.
Time passed bit by bit. Everyone held their breaths and waited.
Beep, beep, beep! The sound of the hourglass was very crisp. On the big screen in the sky, all the sand in the fifth hourglass flowed out. The sixth hourglass began to count down!
It was the last hour!
"Whoosh!" Lady Nangong opened her eyes. The light outside her body suddenly increased by several times. In an instant, the crazy flames were suppressed. However, seeing the expression on Lady Nangong's face, it was clear that this was not an easy task.
In an instant, Lady Nangong began to refine. Her movements were as smooth as ever, but …
But it lacked a smooth feeling.
…
Everyone was watching.
Only the members of the Lin clan were looking left and right.
"Where did Brother Lin go? Why isn't he back yet?" Lin Zhan looked around and kept muttering.
"There's only one hour left." Lin Zhen's eyes flashed. He did not care as much as Lin Zhan. In any case, there was not much difference whether Lin Feng came back or not. There was only one hour left. The ranking was basically settled. Although Lin Feng's advantage was small, it was not a problem for him to maintain the second place.
Even if he came back, could he shake Lady Nangong's position?
Lin Zhen smiled. He did not even think about it. His results were good enough. He seemed to be able to see the day when the Lin clan shone brightly and completely suppressed the Pang family. What a joke. The second place of the Weapon Refinement Master Competition, Lin Feng, had now become a legend!
Only Lin Yumo's eyes were shining. She kept waiting.
She believed that Lin Feng would not give up!
At this moment —
"Whoosh!" A breeze blew. The surrounding people were stunned. There seemed to be one more person in the venue.
Lin Yumo's beautiful eyes lit up. She smiled happily.
Lin Feng was finally back!
