Chapter 43: Refining the God
After all the contestants were in place, the old inspector whispered: "In your weapon refining position, there is a piece of parchment paper, which is the artifact you will refine next. Regarding the precautions for the competition, I will only say two points. First, do not make noise or disturb others. Second, in the shortest time, complete an artifact that meets the standards. The top ten can advance to the competition. All the other forty artifact refiners will be eliminated!"
There were 50 contestants in total, and only ten were able to advance.
"Okay, I announce that the game begins now!"
The other weapon refiners who had been paying attention to Yin Lan and Guan Hong had their faces solemn and quickly turned on the parchment placed on the iron bed of the weapon refining.
The utensils that each contestant needs to refine are completely different, but the difficulty is similar. Of course, if some contestants' test questions are often refined or good at before, they naturally have a considerable advantage. Overall, in addition to competing for strength in the knockout competition, there are also some luck components in it.
"Refining an arm guard that can withstand the full strength of level three spirit warriors?" Yin Lan opened the sheepskin scroll in front of him and saw his competition test questions.
The knockout competition does not require refining a complete spiritual weapon, that is, there is no need to construct spiritual power to protect the road, or even reactant treatment, as long as the shape and performance can meet the requirements of the test questions.
If you want to refine a complete spiritual weapon, even the most ordinary low-grade standard spiritual weapon, it will take a long time for a first-level weapon refiner. Maybe it will take several days to complete it, so it is naturally impossible to be used as a test question for the knockout round.
"Damn it!" The fat man next to Yin Lan was a little stunned after turning on the parchment paper. He murmured: "Create a belt that suits his own size, which requires it to be able to protect the dantian Qihai and withstand the full-strength blows of the third-level spiritual warrior..."
The fat man lowered his head and glanced at his waist that was twice as fat as an ordinary person. He wanted to cry without tears. He couldn't help but scold, "I'm damn..."
At this time, the old inspector shouted seriously: "Competer No. 34, no participant shall speak to disturb others!"
The fat man secretly cursed "Your Madam" in his heart, and then completely accepted his fate. He quickly searched for materials and tools on the iron refining bed to prepare for refining.
With his size, he had to refine a belt that suits his waist, which invisibly doubled the difficulty for himself.
Yin Lan felt a little funny, then he turned his eyes back and began to prepare materials. Compared to Fatty Hun, he only needed to refine an arm guard that was not too large in area or weight, and the workload was much easier.
He even thought it would be the Artifact Refiner Guild that he specially treated himself, the only level nine contestant.
At the No. 33 weapon refining position, Guan Hong showed a relaxed look on his face after looking at the parchment. What he needed to refine was a dagger, requiring that when used by a third-level spiritual warrior, he could cut ordinary low-grade spiritual weapon embryos.
The so-called low-grade spiritual weapon embryo is an object that Yin Lan and Fatty Jiong need to refine. Without drawing spiritual power circuits and material processing, it is just a tool embryo, which can prevent level three-level spiritual warriors from being able to damage the slightest without using spiritual weapons.
The weapon refining competition began, and the arena was in full swing.
"I'm dama, I'm dama, I'm dama..." The fat man cried out while waving his sledgehammer and forged the black metal material in his hand, making a "bang bang" impact sound, and cursed in a low voice.
He is such a witty fat man to hide his scolding by forging.
Yin Lan did not go to see the fat man next to him. After the weapon refining began, his attention was completely on the materials in front of him. In an instant, he entered a state of extreme concentration, and his body exuded a unique temperament - confidence, relaxation, and casualness.
"Huh?" The old inspector who was scanning the audience noticed Yin Lan in an instant from many contestants.
Yin Lan placed an irregularly shaped piece of blue metal on the iron bed, held the hard and cold hammer handle in his hand, and forged it.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The movements are easy and freehand, without any rush or impatience. Every hammer is hit, and the sound of the heavy hammer hitting the metal is full of wonderful rhythm.
Every time you forge a blue metal block, Yin Lan's arms, waist, and legs can convey the strength perfectly to the hammer, and his body has a slight tremor. Although Yin Lan's muscle lines hidden under the clothes cannot be seen, he can feel a magical power.
Different, really different!
The old inspector exclaimed that this fluent set of forging movements was even more standard than textbooks.
Yin Lan's unique state when refining weapons makes people feel... shocking!
Although the old man didn't understand why this was, just by looking at Yin Lan, he would be completely attracted, and the frequency of his heart beat would involuntarily be consistent with the rhythm of Yin Lan's waving the hammer.
The "bang bang" sound made by Yin Lan hitting the blue metal block was like hitting the viewer's heart. However, this feeling did not make people irritated, but instead made people relax and feel extremely comfortable. I even looked forward to Yin Lan's next strike, so that this rhythmic sound that could purify the anger in his heart could continue.
The old inspector suddenly thought of something, and a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face: "I heard that a craftsman like the President Ji Yinxuan can reach the realm of entering the gods when refining weapons. Only in that state can he refine an extremely precious craftsman. Could it be... can this Yin Lan also enter the gods?"
The old man was frightened by his own thoughts. How could the state of enlightenment that only the supreme weapon craftsman could understand appear in a first-level weapon refiner with an apprentice's cultivation level?
But, if this is not a sensation, what is it?
How could he know that Yin Lan’s state is not about being entangled in the spirit, but about transforming into a spirit!
The so-called entanglement of the spirit means that people and tools are combined. If you want to refine precious craftsmen, this state is essential.
Transformation of God is one level higher than entering God. If you can enter the realm of Transformation of God, you can easily distinguish the defects of a piece of metal through the information you give back when hit by the hammer, and master each trace of the metal and the changes of each subtle element. These elements and patterns can be forged to form the most perfect arrangement.
Among the craft craftsmen, only the top ones can occasionally realize the realm of transforming the gods. For every craft craftsman, this state is hard to come by.
For Yin Lan, he can enter the realm of transformation at any time. After all, 48 million years of experience and insights are not something that can be blown out.
He can even reach the "entering Tao" realm that is more powerful than the transformation of gods, but his cultivation is too low now, and his perception is sealed and imprisoned by his body and cannot be used.
"This is..." The fat man who was struggling hard on the side was attracted by the sound of blows coming from his side and turned his head.
The other contestants who seized the time to refine the utensils were also confused and couldn't help but turn to Yin Lan.
After just one look, they were all attracted, and they did not stop at their own actions.
Even the arrogant Guan Hong looked at Yin Lan in a daze.
