Hong Ling's appearance instantly caused panic.
That terrifying aura, accompanied by the huge body of the Magical Beast, caused the hearts of the surrounding people to tremble.
A peak Cosmic Sector-level demon!
"F * ck, what is this?!"
"It's a demon. Why would a demon appear!"
"Quick, kill it!"
…
The place was in a state of chaos and chaos.
Even Wang Shi and Ouyang Kuo were shocked. Lin Zhen's expression changed slightly. Seeing the chaos around them and the fighting spirit of many warriors, he couldn't care less. He flew into the arena and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic. This is Master Lin Feng's contracted demonic beast, Hong Ling."
As soon as he said that, the commotion in the crowd calmed down.
The terrifying aura disappeared. This place was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. In the crowd, Lam Tok Tei's eyes were cold. He recognized Hong Ling, and so did the Lin clan. However, they weren't as clear as Lin Zhen. Wang Shi and Ouyang Kuo finally realized what was going on. They looked at each other and smiled.
They didn't expect Lin Feng to have such a trump card.
This was unexpected.
However, this didn't violate the rules.
Contracted demonic beasts were also a type of power for blacksmiths.
Was it a rule that warriors couldn't use contracted demonic beasts in a battle of life and death?
The logic was the same.
But …
"It can actually resist Tōhoku's heavenly fire from the eighth level of the Stairway to Heaven. This contracted demonic beast is extraordinary." Wang Shi's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"It looks like a snake and a dragon. Please forgive my ignorance, but President, do you know what kind of demonic beast this is?" Ouyang Kuo stared at Hong Ling, full of doubts. Even though he was well-read and had a deep understanding of demonic beasts, he had never seen such a strange demonic beast.
"I haven't seen it either," Wang Shi said softly.
It wasn't just the two of them who were confused. There was a lot of discussion around them.
"It looks like a giant dragon, but it doesn't."
"It looks more like a dragon that hasn't fully evolved, but that's not right."
"There are too many kinds of demons to count. How can we know all of them? Or is it some kind of hybrid of a dragon and a snake?"
…
There was a lot of heated discussion, and no one doubted it too much.
The sea was vast, and there were many different kinds of demonic beasts. Even the most knowledgeable cultivator would not dare to say that he could recognize all of them. However, one thing was for sure, this peak cosmic realm state 'contracted Demon Beast' wasn't ordinary!
"Roar!" Hong Ling's eyes were bloodshot as he tried his best to resist.
Although he was a fire-type Battle Snake and had a strong immunity to fire, the flames this time were too terrifying.
It was even more inexhaustible!
Fortunately, this was a natural flame that was not controlled by humans. Otherwise, Hong Ling's defense would have been completely destroyed in a short period of time. At this time, Lin Feng, after a short period of adaptation, instantly entered his own state, his eyes shining brightly.
"Last chance!" Lin Feng clenched his fist and shouted.
Flames of Rebirth burst forth from his body, Lin Feng's eyes lit up, the constellation dao of 'Soaring Phoenix Wings' appeared in his mind, and he immersed himself in it.
Bit by bit, drop by drop, the feeling in his heart became stronger, and his body gradually felt a bit warmer.
"This is the feeling!" Lin Feng pursed his lips. Under the strong pressure from the outside world —
At this moment, he felt like he had to get it out.
His condition was quite good!
"Begin!" Lin Feng's eyes shone brightly, and the flames in his hands roared.
He had no time to waste.
Not to mention how long Hong Ling could resist, just the six-hour limit was gradually coming to an end. This was not the second round. Even if he did not complete the test, he would still have points. The third round was the refinement. If the product was not complete, even if it was just a little bit off, it would be considered a failure!
"I want to win!" Lin Feng was very determined.
Even if the hope was very slim, and the probability was extremely small, he …
He was not willing to admit defeat!
…
"That contracted beast blocked more than 90% of Tōhoku," Ouyang Kuo said softly.
"To Lin Feng, the refinement on level eight is no different from level seven." Wang Shi nodded.
"It's a bit of a trick." Ouyang Kuo smiled. "If there are no accidents, Lin Feng should be able to complete the refinement this time. Our Vermillion Bird Refinement Master Competition can finally fill the gap that has been missing for a long time. Someone can complete the refinement on level eight."
"Not necessarily." Wang Shi put his hands behind his back and said, "Old Kuo, look carefully at that contracted beast."
"Oh?" Ouyang Kuo's expression changed slightly, and he immediately looked over.
After a while …
"It seems to be barely able to resist." Ouyang Kuo seemed to understand.
"No matter how strong its body is, it is only a peak cosmic realm state. It can only block for a while." Wang Shi's eyes flashed. "With the current progress, I'm afraid this contracted beast will not be able to continue before Lin Feng completes the refinement."
"Wouldn't it be a failure?" Ouyang Kuo frowned.
Although Lin Feng used a trick, he still hoped that Lin Feng could succeed.
The Vermillion Bird Refinement Master Competition had been held countless times, but there had never been a refinement master who could complete the refinement on level eight of Tōhoku.
Just this point alone made it inferior to the other continents in the Southern Region.
Wang Shi smiled and shook his head. "Not necessarily."
Ouyang Kuo's face twitched, but he was confused by Wang Shi's words.
"Old Kuo, did you forget that other than Lin Feng, there is another refinement master who is also on level eight of Tōhoku?" Wang Shi's eyes lit up. "Also, Lin Feng's entry will greatly relieve her pressure. This is great news for the Union of Artificers."
Ouyang Kuo's eyes lit up.
He looked at Lady Nangong and saw that Lady Nangong's expression had relaxed a lot, and the light around her body had dimmed.
At this moment, most of the Tōhoku was blasting toward Lin Feng!
Originally, Lady Nangong was bearing the burden of the entire level eight of Tōhoku, but now, only half of it was left.
Naturally, the pressure was greatly reduced!
…
"Oh no." Lin Yan frowned.
"What's wrong, Yan Lao?" Lin Zhen turned around and asked.
"Lin Feng helped Lady Nangong imperceptibly." Lin Yan's expression was serious. "Originally, Lady Nangong could not hold on under the crazy attacks of Tōhoku, but now, she has calmed down, and the refinement is getting faster and faster. I'm afraid …"
"There's a 50% chance that Lady Nangong can complete the refinement!"
Lin Yan's words were firm, and the Lin clan members' expressions changed slightly.
It can't be, right?
"Actually, there's no need to be so concerned. Anyway, Lin Feng can't catch up to her." Lin Yan's tone changed, and he suddenly smiled. At this moment, a clear light flashed on the seventh level of Tōhoku's stairway, illuminating the sky. The clear outline and slightly blurry details were —
High-grade!
However, it was a high-grade item refined on the seventh level!
"Wow!" The surroundings were in an uproar.
"Master Ouyang has caught up!"
"He's too powerful. He can still catch up like this!"
"Counterattack. As expected of Master Ouyang. He can still surpass Master Lin Feng under such circumstances."
"Second place. Master Ouyang really lives up to his name of being second place forever. Haha!"
…
Everyone was in a heated discussion, and the Ouyang clan members were all smiling.
Although they couldn't win the championship, getting second place could be considered as an affirmation. At least, they didn't lose face for the three great blacksmithing families of the Vermilion Bird Continent.
At the last moment, Master Ouyang completed the fifth refinement, erasing the score of the sixth level of Tōhoku's stairway. At this moment, he had surpassed Lin Feng and was only below Lady Nangong. Master Ouyang could still achieve such a result after suffering a bad start and collapsing in the middle. It was enough to show how deep his foundation was.
"Phew!" Letting out a long breath, Master Ouyang revealed a smile that hadn't been seen in a long time.
"I didn't expect that I would be forced into such a situation by a little guy."
"I really have to thank him for being able to perform exceptionally this time."
Master Ouyang said softly.
This time, even he himself thought that it was hopeless to catch up.
However, he wasn't willing to lose to a little guy who was still wet behind the ears. Under pressure and with a huge burden on his back, Master Ouyang performed exceptionally well and succeeded in refining. Some people needed to be whipped to explode, and Master Ouyang was such a person.
Master Ouyang didn't have such a "fighting spirit" when facing Lady Nangong.
Although they had been competing, Master Ouyang knew the difference between him and Lady Nangong.
But Lin Feng …
Was different!
Master Ouyang looked at the big screen in the sky and saw that his name was second place. He nodded in satisfaction.
However, in an instant, his attention was attracted by the gigantic demon beast. Master Ouyang turned his head and looked. His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"What kind of monster is this!" Master Ouyang was stunned.
…
Three strong contenders!
Master Ouyang had already completed all the refining, while Lady Nangong and Lin Feng were still continuing.
As for the other refiners, they had already "recuperated" and given up on competing. Only Pang Hui, who was at the bottom of the list, gritted his teeth and continued to try. However, he was unwilling to give up with zero points. Although there was no difference between second and tenth place, if he was the only one who got zero points in the finals, it would be a bit of an eyesore and embarrassing.
Harming others would only harm oneself.
Although Pang Hui's strength was slightly inferior, if he had gone to retrieve the materials immediately, how could he have ended up like this?
It could be said that everything was destined.
He wanted to harm Lin Feng, but he didn't want to harm himself.
…
Time passed slowly.
The sound of the hourglass could be heard in the arena, warning that the six-hour time limit was almost up.
At this moment, Lady Nangong's face was deathly pale. Her weak body trembled slightly, and the light around her was faintly discernible, as if she had one foot in the grave. However, Lady Nangong's eyes were filled with stubbornness and unyieldingness as she bit her lips.
Her hands moved rapidly as she endured the discomfort and pain. Lady Nangong's refining was gradually coming to an end.
She was a woman, but she had such ability and willpower. The surrounding crowd was filled with admiration. Lady Nangong was indeed worthy of being the number one refiner in the Vermilion Bird Continent!
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on her. Everyone held their breaths in anticipation —
A miracle was born again!
"Boom!" A deep explosion sounded from Madam Nangong's hand.
A bright star appeared in the sky. Every cultivator widened their eyes and stared at the sky, feeling a deep sense of suffocation.
Lady Nangong really succeeded!
She completed the refining on the eighth step of the Tōhoku Stairway.
Creating the Vermilion Bird Continent's Refiner Competition was a feat that no one had ever accomplished before.
Another miracle was born!
