Everyone was in a daze.
It turned out that Su Mo was not being unreasonable. His answer was accurate.
However, the judge said that Su Mo was quibbling and eliminated him.
No one doubted the old man's words. His name was Shan Gu. He was not only an Upper King craftsman, but also the Deputy Hall Chief of Sky-sea Pavilion's Craftsmanship Hall.
With his status and attainments in craftsmanship, it was impossible for him to lie.
The middle-aged judge's face kept twitching. He felt a burning pain on his face. He could feel the others looking at him as if they were laughing at his incompetence and that he was not fit to be a judge.
The judge lowered his head unconsciously. He was furious. If not for Su Mo, he would not have been so humiliated!
He could not help but hate Su Mo!
A smile appeared on Su Mo's face. It seemed that Sky-sea Pavilion still had an expert!
The horse-faced old man was indeed a King craftsman. Others could not compare to him.
Then, Su Mo walked back. Since he had passed the first round of identification, he could not just leave like this.
After a while, the identification continued. There were still a few people behind Su Mo.
However, the middle-aged judge was too embarrassed to continue, so he replaced him with a dark-faced middle-aged man.
This dark-faced middle-aged man was tall and had a rough face. He was also an Upper Lv 5 craftsman.
"I am Zhao Quan, an Upper Lv 5 craftsman from Sky-sea Pavilion. I will be hosting the next round. Let's continue," the dark-faced man said loudly.
Soon, the first round of identification was over.
The first round had eliminated more than half of the contestants. There were about 3,000 people left.
"Now, the second round, craftsmanship!"
Zhao Quan stood up and announced loudly, "In this round, all the participants will have to forge the same weapon, a fifth grade lower grade Frost Saber. As long as you can forge a Frost Saber within two hours, and the quality of the Frost Saber is high, you will be considered qualified. On the other hand, if you take more than two hours, or if the quality of the Frost Saber is not good, or if you fail, you will be disqualified."
After hearing Zhao Quan's words, many people looked serious. Sky-sea Pavilion's questions were very tricky!
In the art of blacksmithing, ice-attributed weapons were the most difficult to forge.
As everyone knew, refining tools mainly relied on flames to smelt, and ice-attributed weapons were innately the nemesis of flames.
Therefore, even if it was only a Lower Level Five Frost Saber, the difficulty was no less than a Middle Level Five Weapon.
"There are 500 similar crafting furnaces here. 500 people will form a batch and start crafting. The Sky-sea Pavilion will distribute the materials," Zhao Quan said again, pointing to the hundreds of crafting furnaces in the center of the field.
Following that, he asked for a storage ring from the middle-aged man who had hosted the competition earlier. With a wave of his arm, sets of crafting materials fell onto the crafting furnace at the center of the venue.
"Let's begin!" Zhao Quan shouted.
Then, five hundred participants immediately walked out and began to forge the Cold Ice Saber.
The lower Lv 5 weapon, Frost Saber, required 57 kinds of materials. The Sky-sea Pavilion had already prepared them and everyone had the same materials.
The complicated refining process began. Five hundred people were refining at the same time. Some were fast, some were slow.
Ming Yu was in the first batch of people to participate in the refining. She was the fastest. It only took her less than an hour to complete the refining.
A light blue long saber appeared in her hand. The long saber was more than three feet long. She didn't inject any energy into it, but the saber was emitting a strong cold air.
The chill froze the air around Ming Yu. The moisture in the air turned into ice shards and fell to the ground, making a popping sound.
Ming Yu looked calm, but her eyes were full of confidence. She believed that in this Crafting Tower, no one could surpass her in crafting except for the Lv 6 craftsman, Shan Gu.
Even the judges from the Sky-sea Pavilion could not surpass her. At most, they were on par with her.
After Ming Yu's success, many people succeeded one after another.
But there were also many people who failed. They all had the same reason. The strong conflict between the ice-attributed and the flame caused the crafting materials in the furnace to collapse.
There was no second chance in the crafting contest. Once you failed, you would be eliminated.
Time passed slowly. One by one, the craftsmen succeeded.
Soon, two hours were up. More than two hundred people had succeeded. Dozens of people were eliminated. Half of the people were still refining.
The judge, Zhao Quan, stood up and glanced at those who were still refining. "Two hours are up. You are all eliminated."
Hearing this, those people all looked bitter. It was not that their crafting skills were not good enough, but they had too little time!
Those who failed left the field one by one.
Then, Zhao Quan walked out and went to the center of the field to check the quality of the Frost Saber that had been successfully forged.
"High quality, qualified!"
Zhao Quan checked Ming Yu's Frost Saber and nodded with satisfaction.
"High quality, qualified!"
"Low quality, eliminated!"
"Medium quality, eliminated!"
"High quality, qualified!"
Zhao Quan checked everyone's Frost Saber one by one. A large number of people were eliminated.
The Sky-sea Pavilion's requirements were very high. Only weapons of High quality could be considered qualified. Even if one succeeded within the specified time, the Frost Saber's quality did not meet the requirements, and they would still be eliminated.
In the end, among the second batch of people who succeeded, only eighty or so people passed. The rest were all eliminated.
Su Mo sighed. The Sky-sea Pavilion was really one in a million people who could not even meet the requirements of Medium quality!
Soon, the second batch of 500 people began refining, followed by the third, the fourth …
Su Mo was still the last, but to his surprise, Sikong Yan did not participate either.
Sikong Yan looked at him with evil intentions, his eyes full of provocation.
Seeing this, Su Mo immediately understood that he wanted to refine the Frost Saber with him and compete in craftsmanship!
Su Mo shook his head helplessly. He had no intention of competing with others. He only had one goal, and that was to become the Sky-sea Pavilion's honorary craftsman!
However, since Sikong Yan wanted to compete, he was not afraid. He was as confident in his craftsmanship as he was in his own strength.
Time passed quickly, and after a few hours, five batches had been completed.
Among the five batches, the most qualified batch had more than 90 people, and the least qualified batch had only 35 people.
"Sixth batch, start crafting!" Zhao Quan said to the remaining 400 or so people after distributing the craftsmanship materials.
Su Mo heard this and walked into the field.
At this moment, Sikong Yan looked at him.
