Long Yunxin and Zhou Xiaoyu almost stepped out of the refining workshop at the same time.
Behind the two of them, three pieces of glittering, glamorous magical equipment were floating.
When their fierce gazes fiercely collided with each other, the six artifacts also flew to the center. Blade against blade, sword against sword, like two armies brimming with murderous intent, confronting each other with swords drawn and bows bent.
The same structural design, the same materials, but they were in completely different styles under the unique refining methods of different refiners.
The three pieces of magical equipment refined by Long Yunxin had flames of brightness that looked like broken dragon scales rolling on the surface, making them look like raging dragons from the abyss.
Zhou Xiaoyu's magical equipment, on the other hand, was entangled by streaks of purple brightness, as if countless purple vipers were lurking on the edge of the blade and hissing. It could not have looked weirder.
The six pieces of magical equipment gradually drew close to each other. Their auras were surging, and their brilliance interweaved. The air in the middle was ripped into shreds by the invisible sword auras. Electric arcs as thin as hair were running and flashing.
"Yunxin, it seems that you have been training very hard over the past year. You have even produced the dragon scale sword auras that have been passed down for generations in the Long family!" Zhou Xiaoyu said with a smile, but he was not bothered at all.
Long Yunxin sneered and said, "Young Master Zhou, let's see whether my 'dragon' can swallow your vipers or your 'snake' can poison my 'dragon' to death later!"
While the two of them were talking, Li Yao walked out of the refining workshop in exhaustion, too.
His three pieces of magical equipment were not floating behind him. They were simply in his arms, lackluster and lackluster, like three pieces of scrap iron that had just been dug out of the mud.
When he passed by the two of them, Li Yao slightly slowed down and glanced at their magical equipment.
After only one glance, Li Yao retreated his eyes.
The magical equipment in his arms did not move at all, either. It was simply crouching lazily.
Neither Long Yunxin's nor Zhou Xiaoyu's magical equipment had any new reactions. Neither of them sensed any danger. They did not consider Li Yao's magical equipment to be a 'threat' at all.
Li Yao walked forward, not looking at them anymore. His eyes were fixed on the giant light beam not far away.
On the screen. There will be a ranking list of the 320 blacksmiths.
Apart from the top 32 contestants, the rest of the contestants would be ranked according to the cumulative power of the three artifacts.
The refiners who entered the top one hundred would most likely be invited by the major sects and refining centers.
In the Flying Star Sector, in order to avoid academic inbreeding, According to the tradition, the children of the refining families would rarely stay in their own sects after they grew up. Instead, they would go out and work for other forces and sects so that they could exchange their experiences, learn from each other, and develop newer and stronger refining arts.
Therefore, this ranking was extremely meaningful to the younger generation of the aristocratic families. It was related to their future.
Li Yao's gaze was firmly locked onto the top three of the rankings.
At this moment, that place was still empty.
Since the very beginning, Li Yao had never targeted Long Yunxin and Zhou Xiaoyu.
His butcher's knife was not prepared for these two little beasts.
The heart-wrenching destructive power testing segment began!
This was also one of the most entertaining segments in the Armament Refining Competition.
It was especially so for the magical equipment refined by the super experts. When their destructive power was maximized, they would be splendid and dazzling. It was truly dazzling.
In the world of Cultivators, the basic unit to measure the destructive power of magical equipment was' crystal '.
The destructive power of one crystal equaled that the energy inside one gram of standard crystal had been fully activated. The resulting power was enormous.
In the thirty-two examination rooms, artificial arms made of rebars and rune arrays of crystals were lifting magical equipment one after another agilely. They inputted standard spiritual energy into the artificial arms and slashed at the target in front of them brutally.
The so-called target was a metal skeleton tester covered in crystal gel. Very sensitive reaction rune arrays had been installed on it, with a bright yellow spiritual shield on the outside.
Triggered by the spiritual energy, the magical equipment burst out dazzling brilliance, shattering the spiritual shield brutally and slashing into the crystal gel mercilessly!
The light beam nearby immediately reflected the destructive power.
"88 crystals!"
"86 crystals!"
"92 crystals!"
The host's passionate voice echoed in the field. "Ladies and gentlemen, the testing segment has begun! The three designs to be adopted in the competition were all classic, fundamental magical equipment that had been passed on for hundreds of years in the Flying Star Sector. The damage of the three designs was between thirty and forty crystals when they were produced in a magical equipment factory through assembly lines! But the same structure and the same materials, when carefully refined by the hands of a refiner, generally have a destructive power of more than 80 crystals, which is more than twice the destructive power of the standard magical equipment on the assembly line!
"In a battlefield, not just twice, even a difference of one crystal can decide the outcome of a battle!
"This is the formidability of a refiner!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't go away. The testing segment of Mo Tianshui and Huangpu Xiaoya, the two monster-level geniuses that we've been waiting for, is about to begin. Let's switch the main picture to them and see how powerful their magical equipment is!"
In order to make the Skyhill Sword Seminar more enjoyable, the organizer had gone through a lot of trouble to start Mo Tianshui's and Huangpu Xiaoya's tests at the same time. It was obviously a deliberate arrangement to raise the audience's emotions, too.
As they expected, all the spectators inside and outside the field craned their necks.
The three pieces of magical equipment refined by Mo Tianshui were as simple and unsophisticated as him. Both the chainsword and the vibration saber were enshrouded in vague clouds. Even the most common magical equipment was emitting the air of a transcendent being.
Huangpu Xiaoya's magical equipment, like herself, seemed to be made of lightning. Electric sparks were spluttering every second.
"Shua!"
Their chainswords slashed out almost at the same time under the control of their artificial limbs!
Mo Tianshui's chainsword seemed to be rotating at the same time, but it seemed to be rotating at the highest speed. Before the longsword broke through the air, a blurred shadow had already darted out. No. It was not a blurred shadow, but the will of the sword!
Deep inside the chainsword, the spiritual energy and soul of a sword forger were condensed into an invincible will of the sword, which almost minced the space in front of the sword into pieces. A fuzzy swirl appeared!
The distance between the chainsword and the target seemed to have been swallowed by the swirl. The chainsword appeared inside the spiritual shield and cut into the crystal gel softly.
"BOOM!"
In the deafening explosion, snowflakes were popping up on the light beam, as if it could not bear the immense damage. It was not until a long time later that the final power of the sword was revealed.
"153 crystals!"
The entire field was silent.
The number was twice that of common contestants and four times that of assembly-line magical equipment!
Furthermore, it was only made of the most common garbage. What would the ultimate chainsword be like if it were made of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and a more advanced structural design?
The genius heir of a noble family of refining that had existed for a thousand years was indeed extraordinary!
In a moment, Huangpu Xiaoya's chainsword darted out, too.
As soon as he made his move, the electric current surrounding the chainsword suddenly expanded. The 1.25 meter long chainsword expanded to five to six meters long under the spread of the electric light. The purple light that was threatening its fangs and brandishing its claws enveloped the entire testing room!
The electric arcs tore the spiritual shield into pieces like tusks and pierced into the crystal gel brutally!
Huangpu Xiaoya's attack did not stop. 33 crystals, 45 crystals, 84 crystals, and finally stopped at 149 crystals!
It was also an extremely exaggerated number, and it once again caused waves of exclamations!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mo Tianshui and Huangpu Xiaoya's chainswords have been tested. As expected of the genius heirs of two noble families of refining that have existed for a thousand years. In the Skyhill Sword Seminars over the past thirty years, their power far exceeds that of other contestants. They are only second to the crazy sword forger 'Huangpu Shiyi', who made a brief appearance years ago. This is unbelievable!"
The host shouted so loudly that he almost shouted his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs out.
Inside and outside the field, torrential cheers and applause burst out.
On the ranking board, the two contestants were ranked first and second in terms of the single damage of their chainswords. But the damage of the chainsword in the third place was only 110 crystals, which was far from their level.
Soon, their vibration sabers and fiery axes were tested, too.
"Dear audience! Dear audience! I couldn't believe my eyes! Mo Tianshui, the total damage of his three pieces of magical equipment is 503 crystals! Huangpu Xiaoya, on the other hand, has caught up with him. Her vibration saber has a damage of 178 crystals! Her total damage is 506 crystals!
"In the second round, Huangpu Xiaoya is in the lead, and Mo Tianshui is right behind her. The two of them are in the first echelon. Right now, there is a gap of 108 crystals between them and the third place. What a stunning performance!
"Marvelous! Truly marvelous! I can't wait for the moment when the two of them truly face off in the elimination round! "
Inside and outside the field, the atmosphere had completely exploded. Every spectator was blushing. Many experienced refiners couldn't help but stand up from their seats. In the scorching air, sword auras and saber auras intertwined, stirring up two thunderous names.
"Mo Tianshui! Mo Tianshui! Mo Tianshui! "
"Huangpu Xiaoya! Huangpu Xiaoya! Huangpu Xiaoya! "
Suppressed by the two monster-level geniuses, the other refiners seemed to be lurking in the shadows, unable to catch their breath.
Long Yunxin and Zhou Xiaoyu looked at each other and saw the amazement in each other's eyes.
However, they had never intended to claim the title of 'Sword Master' in the first place. After entering the top 32, it would be the one-on-one elimination matches. As long as they were lucky enough, they wouldn't run into one of the two monsters until they reached the semifinals or even the finals.
Therefore, they had to kill their opponents first and enter the elimination match!
Five refiners in their group had finished the test. Their total damage was around 300 crystals. None of them had a damage of more than 350 crystals.
"How boring. It's our turn to compete now!"
Both of them were anxious.
