"This Craftsmanship Contest will be conducted in rounds of elimination until there are only ten contestants left. Then, the last ten contestants will compete in the ranking competition."
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. Let's begin the first round of elimination. It's very simple. It's called 'Materials Identification', which is to identify the names and functions of the craftsmanship materials," the middle-aged man said loudly.
The next moment, the middle-aged man waved his arm, and countless craftsmanship materials shot out like a meteor shower toward the participating craftsmen.
These refining materials were of all different colors. As if they had eyes of their own, they spread out and flew to everyone's eyes.
"These are all craftsmanship materials related to Lv 5 weapons. Each of you has a different material in front of you. Now, you will examine them and answer your questions."
Then, the middle-aged man sat down.
The participating craftsmen grabbed the materials in front of them and began to examine them.
Su Mo also grabbed the material in front of him and began to examine it carefully.
It was an unknown object the size of a cobblestone. It was crimson and had no luster. It was extremely hot in his hand, as if he was holding a soldering iron.
Su Mo was confused. He had never seen this kind of craftsmanship material, so he had no idea what it was!
However, Ou Lianzi's craftsmanship Legacy involved countless craftsmanship materials, and each of them had been explained in detail. This object must be one of them.
Su Mo closed his eyes and carefully examined the craftsmanship Legacy in his mind.
Not long after, he opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, the middle-aged man at the judges' stand looked around and said loudly, "Alright, let's begin."
Then, he looked at a tall young man on the far left and said, "Let's start with you!"
The tall young man nodded and gently raised his palm.
In his palm was a white cylindrical object. It was about three inches long and as thick as a thumb.
"This is the last bone from the tail of the Three-tailed Monkey, a Lv 5 demonic beast," the young man said.
The middle-aged judge nodded and asked, "What's its function in craftsmanship?"
"This …!"
The tall young man was stunned. Although the bone of the Three-tailed Monkey was a Lv 5 craftsmanship material, it was rarely used. Although he had seen it before, he did not know its function.
"Eliminated!"
After several breaths of time, the middle-aged judge saw that the tall youth did not answer, so he directly announced that he had been eliminated.
Then, the middle-aged judge waved his hand and took the materials from the tall young man's hand.
Hearing this, the tall young man's face was full of desolation. He had studied equipment refining for more than 20 years, and he wanted to rely on this equipment refining competition to soar into the sky, but he did not expect to be eliminated in the first round!
Letting out a sigh, the tall young man left the central arena and walked to one of the stands.
"Next!"
The middle-aged judge's gaze landed on another participating craftsman, and his eyes could not help but light up.
This was a woman with a voluptuous figure. Her face was like a peach blossom, and she was extremely charming.
She was Ming Yu.
In Ming Yu's hand was a piece of pale golden metal that was shining with dazzling light.
Ming Yu smiled elegantly at the judge's question. "This item is called Falling Dust Gold. Its function is to neutralize the violent properties of the sulphur."
"Pass!"
The referee announced loudly and then signaled Ming Yu to step out and wait for the next round on the other side.
Ming Yu smiled faintly and walked out gracefully.
She was not at all surprised that she had passed the first round. She was an elder of the Treasure Pavilion and an Upper Lv 5 craftsman. She had seen countless craftsmanship materials, and this test was not difficult for her at all.
The next person was an old man who also passed the test.
Next, the participating craftsmen began to identify the materials in their hands, answering the names and functions of the materials in their hands.
Many people passed the test, but even more people were eliminated.
In this round of material identification, every material was carefully selected. They were all very rare materials, and they would not be used in ordinary refining.
Therefore, even many Middle Lv 5 craftsmen were eliminated.
Soon, it was Sikong Yan's turn.
In Sikong Yan's hand was a blue crystal.
Faced with the middle-aged judge's question, Sikong Yan said, "This is called the Ocean Stone, and it only appears at the bottom of the sea. This stone has an extremely strong Gloomy Property, and when refining some Gloomy Property weapons, it can greatly increase the weapon's Gloomy Property."
Sikong Yan's answer was perfect, and the middle-aged judge and the other judges secretly nodded.
"Pass!" the middle-aged judge said.
Sikong Yan smiled and glanced at Su Mo, who was behind him. He then strode to the other side.
Then, the identification test continued.
Su Mo was the last to enter the tower, so he was at the back of the line.
However, he was not in a hurry. It did not matter if it was earlier or later.
Four hours later, more than half of the thousands of refiners had been eliminated, and less than three thousand people had passed the test.
Soon, there were only a few people left.
It was Su Mo's turn.
"Name? The middle-aged judge looked at Su Mo and was a man of few words.
Su Mo raised the pebble-like red metal in his hand and said with a smile, "This is called Lava Ancient Rock. It only exists in the depths of magma at the bottom of volcanoes."
"Alright, let's continue!" The middle-aged judge nodded.
"The function of Molten Ancient Rock is to stabilize the strength of the Fire-spirit Iron!" Su Mo said.
However, the judge shook his head slightly and said, "Eliminated!"
Su Mo was stunned and his eyes widened.
Eliminated?
How was this possible?
The function of Molten Ancient Rock was described in detail in Ou Lianzi's craftsmanship Legacy. How could it be wrong?
Ou Lianzi was an Imperial craftsman in ancient times. How could his introduction be wrong?
Countless martial artists on the spectators stand sighed inwardly. Although Su Mo was extremely talented, his craftsmanship skills were not up to par!
He did not even know the function of the material, so his craftsmanship skills must not be good either!
Nie Yu, who was on the spectators stand, looked at Su Mo with disdain. How could Su Mo participate in the Craftsmanship Contest with such mediocre skills? He was not worthy of being a peerless talent!
Sikong Yan shook his head. He had thought that if Su Mo could last until the end, he would compete with Su Mo in craftsmanship skills. He did not expect Su Mo to be so weak and be eliminated in the first round.
The middle-aged judge grabbed the Molten Ancient Rock in Su Mo's hand. Seeing that Su Mo was still standing there, he said again, "You're eliminated. Go down!"
Su Mo came to his senses and asked with a frown, "My answer was correct. Why was I eliminated?"
"Correct?"
