As Lu An's voice rang out, the cheering audience suddenly fell silent.
Everyone looked at the young man on the stage with their eyes wide open, as if they had heard wrongly.
However, Lu An used his silence and actions to tell everyone that he had indeed admitted defeat.
He carefully observed his opponent's expression. As a slave, he had learned to observe people's expressions. He was sure that his opponent was confident and was not faking it. In addition, his five senses were now extraordinary. Even if he was far away, he could smell it. However, he did not know what the fragrance was.
He had never even seen the fragrance before.
Therefore, instead of wasting time, it was better to end it quickly. He did not need to struggle in something that he did not know how to do.
Lu An's sudden admission of defeat was so sudden that even his opponent and the middle-aged man did not react. However, when they came back to their senses, the middle-aged man looked at Lu An and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you want to admit defeat?"
"I'm sure," Lu An said straightforwardly.
"Alright then." The middle-aged man looked at Lu An with some regret. He thought that Lu An could also show great potential this time. It seemed that he had thought too much.
Then, he loudly announced to everyone below the stage, "The second round, Wang Wei wins!"
Because it ended too quickly and too suddenly, there was not much applause from the audience. Lu An's opponent looked at Lu An proudly and mocked, "At least you know what's good for you."
With that, he turned and left.
Wang Wei saw that Lu An took the initiative to admit defeat and exhaled a long breath in his heart. It was good that he won this round because he could not lose the next two rounds, whether it was refining weapons or refining pills.
Winning this round meant that he did not need to go to the fifth round to win directly.
After the hasty end, the middle-aged man looked at Lu An. Lu An did not look tired at all. He loudly said, "Now, let's begin the third round, refining weapons!"
As soon as he said this, the audience who were still a little absent-minded were instantly ignited!
Refining weapons was something that only a Heavenly Master could do. It was finally related to a Heavenly Master!
One had to know that whether it was archery or smelling fragrance, they were not on the stage because they were things that ordinary people did. In the eyes of a Heavenly Master, those things were not worth mentioning. On the other hand, refining weapons was something that most Heavenly Masters could not do. It was their honor to be able to witness a weapon refining duel with their own eyes!
At this time, Lu An saw a man about forty years old walk out from Wang Wei's side. Lu An had not seen this person before, so he should be someone who came while waiting. This person's footsteps were extremely steady, and his expression was solemn. His temperament was completely different from the previous two.
Level 2 Heavenly Master.
Lu An instantly determined his opponent's strength. Although it was difficult to judge a person of a higher realm from a lower realm, this person did not give Lu An too much pressure. He could only be a level two Celestial Master.
Bang.
This person stood heavily in front of Lu An. His eyes were cold and aloof as he looked at Lu An. His condescending manner made it seem as if he was looking down on Lu An. He said indifferently, "I'll give you a chance to admit defeat."
Lu An frowned. He could tell that this person was not faking it.
However, Lu An did not want to give up on weapon refining. When he was still in Meteor Trail City, Liu Yi had given him a few books on weapon refining. He had kept them in his spatial ring. He would occasionally take them out to read, but he had never tried it because he did not have the materials to refine them.
Now that he had such an opportunity, even if he might lose, he had to give it a try.
"Let's begin." Lu An did not pay attention to this person and turned to the middle-aged man.
As soon as he said this, his opponent was stunned. Then, dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes. However, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. He was afraid that Lu An would not accept this duel, causing everyone to lose a good eye.
As if afraid that Lu An would go back on his word, the middle-aged man hurriedly announced loudly, "The third round of weapon refining officially begins!"
After speaking, the middle-aged man waved his hand. In an instant, two groups of people crowded together and carried two huge tables onto the stage. Each table was filled with materials, and there was a refining furnace on each table. On the table, there was a brocade box with a thick stack of paper and a crystal core.
"For the sake of fairness, whether it is the furnace or the materials, all the items of the two are exactly the same. As for the type of weapon refining, my Lantern Garden will take out a brand new weapon manufacturing manual for the two Heavenly Masters to refine! "
"I was lucky enough to buy this weapon manufacturing manual in a city outside the Heavenly Realm. However, I don't have any weapon refiners under me, so I haven't been able to refine it. However, I have a lot of materials in my hands. The materials on the table are enough for them to refine more than three times! "
"However, there is only one crystal core among the materials, but embedding the crystal core is the last step. It won't delay the process ahead."
"The outcome of the competition is very simple. Whoever successfully refines a weapon first will win! If they refine a weapon at the same time, the winner will be determined by the quality! " The middle-aged man announced loudly, "However, the weapon that is successfully refined must belong to my Lantern Garden!"
As soon as he said this, everyone sucked in a breath of air. However, this was also reasonable. Although they were not weapon refiners, they knew how precious a weapon manufacturing manual was. Refining once meant that they would obtain a weapon manufacturing manual. This deal was definitely not a loss!
Both Lu An and his opponent glanced at the middle-aged man. Lu An naturally nodded, and that person also nodded after some hesitation.
"Good!" The middle-aged man shouted happily. No matter what, he was likely to get a weapon for free. He said loudly, "In that case, I won't waste my breath. Let the competition begin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into an unprecedented uproar!
Weapon refining!
They were finally going to see a Heavenly Master refine a weapon!
In the past, this kind of weapon refining was an absolute secret. Whether it was the materials or the method, it was extremely important to a weapon refiner. However, everything was now displayed in front of everyone.
The man strode to the table, picked up the paper in the brocade box, and quickly looked at it. Soon, he concluded that this was a weapon manufacturing manual of a first-grade weapon, and its level was not high. To him, this was not too much pressure.
After reading it carefully, this person quickly raised a flame in his hand. Just the appearance of the flame caused the people below the stage to exclaim in surprise.
When the exclamation reached Lu An's ears, he raised his head to look at his opponent. He saw his opponent throw the flame into the furnace. In an instant, the flame rose and filled the entire furnace.
Then, the man quickly picked up the first material and put it into the furnace with different amounts and methods. The method was so fast that Lu An could not see it clearly. Moreover, he could feel that his opponent was deliberately confusing him.
That's right, this man was confusing him.
After the first round, the big guy went back and explained to everyone that the kid was a fast learner and had the ability to apply what he learned. That was why he was extra careful. In the method, he mixed in a lot of useless techniques and concealed the real key techniques. This way, even if his opponent wanted to copy, he could not.
However, unlike archery, Lu An did not want to learn anything from his opponent this time. He lowered his head to look at the manufacturing manual again. He wanted to complete it with his own ideas and understanding.
As a beginner, he carefully looked at every word on the manufacturing manual. There were some words that were difficult to understand, and he had to recall the explanations in the teaching books. In terms of reading, he was much slower than his opponent.
Nevertheless, Lu An was not in a hurry because he knew that impatience was the most frightening thing in this kind of thing. He patiently read every word from beginning to end. When he completely understood and remembered it, he took a deep breath and looked up.
At that moment, half of the materials on his opponent's table had been put into the furnace. The flames in the furnace had completely turned red and gold, and there were bursts of explosive sounds.
As if sensing Lu An's gaze, his opponent looked up and met Lu An's eyes. Then, a cold smile appeared on that person's face as he gave Lu An a thumbs up.
He looked insufferably arrogant as if victory was in his hands.
Indeed, the man had a high chance of winning because he had not made any mistakes so far, and there were no obstacles. From his point of view, the competition was over.
Nevertheless, Lu An would not give up, even if his opponent was already halfway through, and he had just started.
Taking a deep breath, Lu An raised his hand, and a red flame ignited above his palm. At this moment, when the audience saw Lu An finally releasing the flame, they heaved a sigh of relief.
They had waited for too long, and even thought that Lu An did not even know how to release the flame.
In the distance, Han Ya also heaved a sigh of relief. Unlike others, she understood the power of Lu An's flame. That flame had already left a deep impression on her three times.
Lu An held the flame, took a deep breath, and looked at the furnace in front of him. This was his first weapon refining in his life, and he had to take it seriously.
Lu An narrowed his eyes and threw the flame into the cauldron.
However, just as Lu An was about to reach for the next material, a shocking scene occurred.
The furnace was instantly melted by the flame!
