Chapter 424 Zacharys Seven-star Weapon (1/2)

Four hours passed, and a loud noise was heard from somewhere As everyone looked, white smoke slowly billowed upwards from that place, like clouds on a clear sky. It appeared that one of the weapons that were being refined had exploded.

The spectators in the nearby vicinity descended into a chaos of shouts and questions.

It was fairly common for a weapon to explode during the refining process. It was usually caused by disciples who fell victim to their anxiety and consequently became careless in their haste to win the competition. Weapon refining, however, was a process that should be done in a systematic and careful manner, and patience was a key ingredient for its success. Disciples who acted carelessly usually committed mistakes that led to their failures, and explosions were bound to happen.

For the disciples of King Level who entered the second round, they were experienced, so there was only a small chance for them to make this mistake.

The atmosphere had already been tense earlier, but after the explosion, the disciples were even more aware of the mistakes they could make. It made them tenser, which could only lead to more mistakes.

In the competition area where Zachary was in, Adam had reached the fourth step of weapon refining. He was going to proceed to the final step of quenching soon.

Meanwhile, Zachary had barely progressed. He had just thrown the four materials, which had been cast, into the furnace. A moment later, the furnace was filled with thick smoke, and then it began to vibrate.

The buzzing sound it made grew louder with every passing second. The spectators around the arena shook their heads in dismay, as they all thought that Zachary was just refining indiscriminately, and he was about to make a big mistake.

All the disciples from the Celestial College, including Queenie, watched with bated breaths. They were terrified that Zachary would make a mistake.

”He is making a mess!” Polly, who was standing on the viewing platform, chimed in.

”His refining order is totally different from normal. I haven't seen anything like this,” Pollard muttered. The deafening sound that was coming from the furnace was worrying him as well.

It was becoming louder, and it was echoing all over the place as if the furnace was about to explode.

Some of them jumped in surprise when Zachary banged on the furnace, but to their complete astonishment, it fell silent.
