C54 Astounding Reward (1/2)
”All participating Weapon Refiners, please enter the stage.”
Following which, Qing Ye turned to the right of the stage. Thousands of very young Weapon Refiners had already gathered in the area.
Hearing Qing Ye's words, everyone's expression was different from one another. Some were nervous, some were anticipating, some were confident, and some had a face full of blandness.
Tang Huan also took a light breath, as his state of mind gradually calmed down.
That Tang Tianren seemed to be a Stage Seven Martial Master, and it was said that the ancestor of Tang Family was a Stage Eight Martial Lord. It would be useless if Tang Huan could not reach that stage.
After a short moment, under the guidance of the two young men, everyone entered.
Not long after, a Weapon Refiner stood behind every metal table in the plaza. There are exactly right number of tables.
”Everyone, this time, the 'Weapon Refining Competition' is the same as the past. There are three trials.”
Qing Ye's eyes swept across the several thousand Weapon Refiners, her charming face carried a slight smile, ”The first one is the smelting of gems, a time limit of one hour.”
These words were like a stone that gave rise to a thousand ripples.
”It can't be, it's only been an hour?”
”Wasn't it always two hours in the past?”
”Right now, even the Weapon Refiner's assessment has become much stricter. Isn't it normal to shorten the time limit of the first trial?”
”With just this alone, a lot of people should be eliminated, right?”
”...”
Many Weapon Refiners cried out in alarm.
Some people's expression changed even more. It was obvious from one look that they weren't confident at all, but there were still a few Weapon Refiners who remained calm, as if they had complete confidence in this.
The people around the plaza were also slightly shocked. The noisy sounds once again rang out, and an enormous sound wave surged over the square.
”Completing the smelting of the gem within the time limit and passing the inspection will allow you to enter the second trial.”
As if she didn't hear the voice below, Qing Ye continued, ”The second trial is the refining of the equipment base, this time the weapon is a blade, and the time limit is also one hour.”
”An hour? It's shortened again!”
”Oh my god, how can an hour be enough?Refining, it's not just about forging or tempering, it's more about forging and tempering!”
”If I had known this, I wouldn't have come here.”
”...”
From within the group of Weapon Refiners, another round of wails rang out.
”If you can pass the bladework trail, it will be the third trial. The blending of the gem and bladework will take half an hour!” Qing Ye smiled again.
The entire stadium was strangely quiet when she said these words.
To the vast majority of Weapon Refiners, they might not even be able to clear the first two trials. However, after hearing what Qing Ye had said, the calm and indifferent Weapon Refiners' expressions became somewhat ugly.
