1472 Chapter 1472 Could it be that he was joking?
Even now, they still remembered how shocked they were when they saw Tang Huan put down the jade-like Spirit Color Dao Stone about half a quarter of an hour ago.
He had originally thought that the first to complete would be one of the four people from the Qian Yuan Sky Sect, Sun Yingwu, Tao Yanghui, and Hua Xiaoyan from the Limitless Temple. However, he did not expect that Tang Huan, who originally had no hope, would suddenly appear and pass the first round of the competition in a short fifteen minutes.
This was completely beyond everyone's imagination.
And the godly speed that Tang Huan had displayed in the first round also caused everyone to reexamine the rumors regarding Tang Huan. Forging sixty perfect low-grade Dao Artifacts in a month was still a little too exaggerated. However, Tang Huan definitely had the strength to forge a perfect Dao Artifact.
At this time, many people looked at Zhang Yi Ren with sympathy in their eyes.
Looking at Zhang Yi Ren's expression, he knew that he had thought that he was the first to pass the first round of the test, but he did not know that Tang Huan from the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace was even faster than him, and even faster by half a quarter of an hour. This was not a small gap, but a huge gap that could not be shortened even if he risked his life.
When Zhang Yi Ren was removing the impurities from the Spirit Color Dao Stone, he had displayed an extremely high level of control over his firepower. Unfortunately, the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace had produced a Tang Huan.
However, he did not know if Tang Huan would still be able to lead by such a large margin in the second and third rounds.
"Tang Huan, I never thought that you would be so cunning. I have underestimated you in this round, but in the next round, the first one to pass will definitely be me!"
Zhang Yi Ren came to his senses, and a hint of anger flashed across his eyes.
From his point of view, Tang Huan was using the most ordinary method on the surface.
But in reality, that ordinary method was just a cover up. The method that Tang Huan was truly using must be extremely complicated, if not it would be impossible for him to remove the impurities from the Spirit Color Dao Stone before him. In this round, he did not use his full strength. After all, he had to leave enough firepower for the next two rounds.
If he knew that Tang Huan's method of removing impurities was so brilliant, he would definitely go all out, and would definitely be able to increase the completion time by a lot.
It was a pity that he did not notice it for a moment, which was why Tang Huan was able to deceive him.
Of course, this was also because he did not listen attentively to the movements around the arena, thinking that Tang Huan was only ahead of him for a moment. If he knew that Tang Huan was ahead of him by half a quarter of an hour, he would not have such thoughts. Even if he used all his strength, it would be impossible for him to shorten the time needed to separate the impurities from the Spirit Color Dao Stone by another quarter of an hour.
Time passed quickly. Hua Xiaoyan, Sun Yingwu, and Tao Yanghui withdrew their Dao flames at almost the same time, revealing the Spirit Color Dao Stone in their palms.
The three of them subconsciously swept their eyes over the place.
They, especially Sun Yingwu and Tao Yanghui, who were also disciples of the Qian Yuan Sky Sect, were well aware of Zhang Yi Ren's Tools Method, and knew that he was not much faster than them. However, when their gazes landed on Tang Huan, who was at the back of the arena, their eyes revealed expressions of disbelief, just like Zhang Yi Ren from before.
They could understand why Zhang Yi Ren was faster than them, but why was Tang Huan faster than them? Just by relying on the ordinary methods he used?
After a while, Hua Xiaoyan, Sun Yingwu, and Tao Xiaohui all looked at Zhang Yi Ren at the same time, wanting to find some clues from his expression. However, at this time, Zhang Yi Ren had already closed his eyes, as though he was seizing the time to recover his firepower and prepare for the second round of the competition.
The three of them were suspicious. What they wanted to know the most was whether Tang Huan had passed this round before Zhang Yi Ren or after Zhang Yi Ren.
Fortunately, there were countless cultivators watching from the surroundings of the arena.
There were so many people constantly muttering. Although they were too far away and the noise was incomparably noisy, they could still vaguely capture some information. However, the result they obtained caused the expressions of the three of them to change abruptly, and a storm involuntarily arose in their hearts.
Tang Huan was first, and Zhang Yi Ren was second?
Was this a joke?
After a long while, they finally suppressed the shock in their chests and began to recover their firepower like Zhang Yi Ren. Although not much time had passed, they had used up quite a bit of firepower. There was still about half an hour before the first round of the competition would end, so they could take this opportunity to recover some of their firepower.
"Time's up!"
After a long while, a loud shout reverberated between heaven and earth. Sky City's Wang Shengjie once again walked to the front of the stage. The sand in the hourglass had already leaked out completely, and the rustling sound suddenly stopped. "The first round of the 'Heavenly Arts Competition' has ended. Everyone, please put down the Spirit Color Dao Stone!"
Those low-grade heaven's work that were still activating the Dao flames, no matter how unwilling they were, had no choice but to stop.
Tang Huan let out a light breath and slowly opened his eyes. The arena was filled with a multicolored light, it was resplendent and dazzling. The Spirit Color Dao Stones in front of some people had already become extremely crystal clear, while the Spirit Color Dao Stones in front of some low-grade heaven's work were still somewhat turbid.
The reason why such a situation occurred was because the impurities in the Dao stone had not been completely removed. It was impossible to pass the first round with only this level of completion.
"Let's begin the inspection. Elders, please!"
After Wang Shengjie finished speaking, he bowed slightly towards the experts from the various sects on the stage. Du Xinghe and the rest also stood up, walked down the stage, and started to walk around the lower tier Heaven's Arts. Those who were inspected were not necessarily Heaven's Arts, but they all had the basic eyesight.
"Qualified!"
"Unqualified!"
"Qualified!"
"..."
All sorts of voices rose and fell.
After the inspection, all the qualified Spirit Color Dao Stones stayed behind, and all the Spirit Color Dao Stones that were judged to be unqualified had to temporarily leave the arena and wait for the rewards to be distributed outside the arena.
Everything was done in an orderly manner. Very quickly, more than half of the inspection was over.
But at this time, more than ten figures walked towards the back of the arena with large strides, and stood directly in front of Tang Huan. Seeing this scene, the surrounding low-grade heaven's work all opened their eyes wide in shock. Even Zhang Yi Ren, Hua Xiaoyan and the others looked over in the blink of an eye.
Those dozen or so people were all famous Tian Gong of the "Flowing Flower Domain".
There were Du Xinghe and the others from the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Mansion, Xue Yu and the others from the Heaven's Expanse Sect, high-grade heaven's work from the Limitless Temple, and middle-grade heaven's work from other sects.
"Greetings, seniors." Tang Huan stood up and bowed slightly.
"No need to be so polite."
