"Wow!" Cries of surprise could be heard.
Lin Feng's appearance was like thunder on a sunny day, instantly activating the originally silent atmosphere.
The clamor came one after another, as if they had arrived at a market. The crowd that was waiting for Lady Nangong suddenly became lively, beaming with joy as they discussed animatedly.
"I thought Master Lin Feng wouldn't be able to make it back in time."
"Yeah, I don't know what happened just now, but Master Lin Feng suddenly left."
"It must be something urgent. It's a pity that he wasted two hours. Otherwise, with Master Lin Feng's strength, he might be able to catch up with Lady Nangong."
"What a joke, how could he catch up? He's still short by 2005 points!"
… …
The surroundings were bustling with noise and excitement.
If the competition was one-sided, it would be boring. Now that Lin Feng had returned, all the supporters in the crowd were engaged in a war of words, and no one was willing to show weakness.
As for Lin Feng … …
Whoosh! It was only a momentary pause, but he had already entered the cube space.
Time was of the essence!
There was less than an hour left.
To Lin Feng, every minute and every second could not be wasted.
"Wow!" With a flash of white light, Lin Feng instantly entered this familiar area. Without stopping for a moment, he quickly used the Mist Cloud Steps. In his mind, the forty materials for refining 'Soaring Phoenix Wings' appeared clearly, including the location of each material!
It was like a starry sky, dotted with stars.
"First."
"Second."
"Third!"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and in an instant, he took out three materials, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
A good start!
The more complete the materials, the higher the success rate of his refinement.
… …
"Oh?" Wang Shi's eyes lit up.
"This child seems to be prepared." Ouyang Kuo nodded.
"He took out the materials without hesitation, and as fast as the wind. He seems to have made sufficient preparations in these two hours." Wang Shi smiled indifferently, but he did not care too much. He was just curious. To him, the champion of this year's Weapon Refiner Competition was already without any suspense.
In fact, that was what everyone thought.
Lady Nangong would definitely win.
However, Wang Shi was also curious about what Lin Feng would refine next.
"It stopped." Ouyang Kuo's eyes lit up.
After taking seven materials, Lin Feng finally stopped. Ouyang Kuo looked pensive.
"If I have not guessed wrong, what this little guy wants to refine … should be the Earth Rank Third Layer Astral Treasure 'Phoenix Wings Soaring Heaven.'" Wang Shi softly said. As far as Astral Treasures were concerned, he had done deep research. His experience and experience were things that none of the tool refinement masters present could compare to.
"Soaring Phoenix Wings?" Ouyang Kuo was slightly astonished, "Although it is an Earth Rank Three Astral Treasure, rumor has it that the refining difficulty surpasses even an Earth Rank Six Astral Treasure!"
"That's right." Wang Shi nodded, "The refinement of Soaring Phoenix Wings not only requires materials and tool refinement techniques, but more importantly, it requires a tool refinement master's flames to be extremely high. Therefore, very few tool refinement masters would choose to refine this kind of Astral Treasure. It is too troublesome."
Ouyang Kuo smiled, "Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, yet walking towards the tiger's mountain."
"Not necessarily." Wang Shi's eyes flashed, "There are advantages and disadvantages. Although Soaring Phoenix Wings has extremely high requirements for flames, as long as the flames are strong enough, its grade is instead much easier to upgrade. This little guy probably knows this point, so he wants to seek victory in the midst of danger. Borrowing Tōhoku's power, he is quite smart. "
"So that's how it is." Ouyang Kuo suddenly nodded.
His gaze turned towards Lin Feng, suddenly feeling a bit of admiration. The more he looked, the more he liked him.
At such a young age, he already possessed this level of tool refinement technique. His thoughts were even more meticulous, truly a first-rate talent.
…
Of course, how could Lin Feng know so much.
His understanding of Astral Treasures was not as deep as Wang Shi's. His understanding of "Soaring Phoenix Wings" was merely limited to the way of constellations. As for tool refinement techniques, flames and so on, how could these be considered within his scope of consideration. Right now …
To be able to find all the materials, to Lin Feng, this was already a heavenly gift.
25 pieces, 28 pieces, 30 pieces!
Lin Feng's eyes flashed, speeding forward, his heart filled with joy.
The materials were even more complete than he had imagined!
"That's strange, compared to two hours ago, these materials are not much less."
"They don't need materials?"
Lin Feng was rather curious, but he did not know that at this moment, the majority of tool refinement masters had already exhausted their abilities and were unable to refine anymore.
Missing one material was fine, but missing four, six materials, how could they refine? Rather than wasting time and fighting for a chance that was not even one in ten thousand, it was better to lose this person and end this refinement. Anyway, what was the difference between second and tenth place?
They were all reputable figures, so naturally, they disdained to snatch materials like Pang Hui did.
To them, how could it help?
At this moment, other than Master Ouyang and Pang Hui who were still refining, the rest of the people, including Wang Bo, were all focused on Lady Nangong's refinement, not moving at all. To be able to watch Lady Nangong's refinement up close, to them, was a rare learning opportunity.
The stronger one was, the deeper one's experience, the more benefits one would gain.
There was no end to learning, and the one who reached the top was first. Everyone would not lose face because of Lady Nangong's youth.
Therefore, Lin Feng benefited.
Or else, if every tool refinement master had two hundred materials, Lin Feng would be missing at least five or six materials, and not like now, where he was only missing two! And these two materials were completely replaceable. To the Lin Feng right now, it was not a difficult task.
"I can use pear chrysanthemum as a replacement. It has little effect."
"I can use green plum jade as a replacement. It has no effect either."
…
"Phew!" Lin Feng exhaled deeply.
He took the last thirty-seventh material with his right hand and announced that he was done.
In addition to the original "Bright Gold," "Yellow Catfish," and "Magnetic Ring Stone," the forty materials were almost complete!
Pa! In a flash, Lin Feng appeared in the venue again.
Everyone's attention was focused on him. Lin Feng's eyes flashed and landed on the Lin clan. Immediately, he saw Yumo, who had a fresh smile on her face, and his heart warmed. Lin Feng nodded at Yumo, indicating that she did not need to worry. Then, he raised his head and looked at the screen in the sky.
At this moment, the last hourglass had begun to fill with sand, but this was not within Lin Feng's sight.
His gaze was focused on the ranking!
In first place, Lady Nangong!
"3555 points?!" Lin Feng was surprised, and his eyes flashed.
"She's a full 2005 points higher than me."
"Even if I get full marks on the seventh level of Tōhoku's stairway, I'll still lose by 5 points."
Lin Feng calculated quickly and frowned slightly.
He turned his head and looked at the eighth level of Tōhoku's stairway. At this moment, Lady Nangong's face was slightly red, and the light around her body was flashing intensely. She was meticulously refining. Although she looked tired, Madam Nangong was extremely focused and was not affected in the slightest.
She was very serious!
"The eighth level, five times the coefficient."
"If I want to win, this is the only way."
Lin Feng said softly. His eyes flashed and he quickly made a decision.
He had to go to the eighth level for the final refinement!
He had no other choice.
…
"Oh?" Ouyang Kuo's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger." Wang Shi smiled and said, "He's not afraid of Master Ouyang's final pursuit at all. This child only has Lady Nangong in his eyes. Very good! A blacksmith must have the spirit of daring to challenge, although … "
"The result might not be satisfactory." Wang Shi nodded and smiled.
He was very satisfied with Lin Feng's performance in all aspects.
"That's not necessarily true. Maybe this child can create a miracle?" Ouyang Kuo joked.
"I hope so too." Wang Shi shrugged indifferently. "But this possibility is probably not even one in ten thousand. The reason Lady Nangong could withstand Tōhoku's attack on the eighth level was because of the protection of an innate treasure. However, Lin Feng is from the Lin clan. How can he have such a treasure?"
"Indeed, how can a peak Cosmic Sector-level withstand a Saint-level flame?" Ouyang Kuo sighed.
…
Can he withstand it?
"Wow! ~" Lin Feng's eyes glistened.
As soon as he stepped onto the eighth level of the Tōhoku Stairway, Tōhoku attacked him maniacally.
Almost instantly, the Flames of Rebirth were ignited!
However …
"Oh no, Tōhoku is too strong!" Lin Feng's expression changed.
After stepping onto the eighth level, he finally realized how terrifying Tōhoku's power was. It was more than ten times stronger than on the seventh level. Every inch of flame seemed to have a life of its own. It was like a venomous snake opening its bloody mouth and biting him.
Although the defense of the Flames of Rebirth was strong and had reached the fifth-level Star Technique, Tōhoku's power …
It was too terrifying!
"The replenishment speed can't keep up with the consumption speed at all." Lin Feng frowned.
"If this goes on, even staying on the eighth level will be a problem, let alone refining. Even if I use a stronger Flames of Devouring, I may be able to resist for a while, but …"
"After nearly an hour of refining, the Flames of Devouring can't resist at all!"
Lin Feng gritted his teeth and turned pale.
His plan couldn't keep up with the changes!
However, he had no way out.
Once he left the eighth level of the Tōhoku Stairway, the Weapon Refinement Master Competition would be over.
That was not the result he wanted!
Even if he lost, he had to lose willingly and not without a fight!
"This is the only way left." Lin Feng's eyes were deep and glistening.
"Come out, Hong Ling!"
Following Lin Feng's loud shout, an intense red light appeared. The red silk carried a shocking flame aura, and the thin scales looked like they were sliced by a knife as they shot out with a howl. His huge body emitted a scorching flame and instantly wrapped around his body, forming a solid wall that protected Lin Feng!
"Roar! ~" The flame was dazzling, and Hong Ling roared.
It was the peak of the Star Sector-level Fire-Scaled Battle Snake!
In terms of physique, he was much stronger than Lin Feng, and his resistance to flames was not something that Lin Feng could compare to!
The flame was intense, and Hong Ling resisted the frenzied attacks of the Tōhoku on the eighth level. All of a sudden, Lin Feng calmed down. Although the surrounding fire elements were extremely intense, and there were sporadic Tōhoku darting out of the ground, they were nothing to Lin Feng.
"I'm counting on you, Hong Ling," Lin Feng said softly with glistening eyes.
Smack! Lin Feng clenched his fists and opened them, after which flames were spat out.
The final refinement began!
