Lin Xi looked at the spiritual sword in his hand with satisfaction that was emitting a hint of spiritual energy under his careful forging. Although the level of this spiritual sword is only a low-level yellow level, judging from the fluctuations around his body, this spiritual sword is definitely a top-grade at this level.
Looking at the others, Lin Xi found that apart from some people who failed in the fusion process, the remaining sword-casting masters had also entered the final stage, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy came from time to time from time to time from time to time, rising and falling.
When the last man's spiritual fire was removed from the sword cauldron, Feng Nan and the old man on the stage stood up and walked towards the field with a smile on their faces.
When passing by Lin Xi, Feng Nan looked at the other person with a deep look, glanced at the spirit sword in the other person's hand, and said with a smile: "Boy Lin, you are such a surprising guy."
Lin Xi placed the spirit sword on the stone table next to him, spread his hands innocently, and did not speak.
Feng Nan picked up the spirit sword on the stone table, observed it carefully, and then said in surprise: "A very high-quality spirit sword, the impurities in the sword have been reduced to a very good level. The fusion of the spirit ore is very perfect. I am afraid that even some second-grade sword-casting masters will find it difficult to do this."
"Congratulations, Lin Xi, you have successfully passed the assessment of the first-class swordsman."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Xi to answer, he turned around and picked up the spirit sword that Zhou Xin had completed. After looking at it for a while, he made a judgment again.
"Yes, although the process of picking up is not ideal, it also meets the minimum requirements for spiritual ore fusion. The aura of spiritual energy is not pure enough, which means that you have not fully grasped the temperature and approximate ratio during the fusion process. But it's not bad, and barely met the review standards."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xin breathed a little relieved. After several years of hard work, she finally successfully became a true swordsman.
After quietly looking at Lin Xi's spiritual sword, Zhou Xin admitted that his attainment in sword making was indeed much worse than that of the other party. He shook his head helplessly.
After checking Shiying's spiritual sword, the old man from the Zhou family also announced that the other party had passed the assessment. The spiritual sword cast by Shiying was slightly higher than Zhou Xin in terms of quality, but it still did not reach Lin Xi's level.
Except for some people who successfully completed the sword casting in the field, there were only five left. Feng Nan and the old man checked one by one and announced the results of the approval with great satisfaction.
Feng Nan's eyes swept through the dejected losers and comforted him: "You don't have to be discouraged. Failure in the sword casting is higher than success, let alone you novices. I hope that after passing this assessment, you can find out your own shortcomings and strive to pass the assessment smoothly next time."
"Okay, those who pass it soon will get a special jade plaque exclusive to the sword-caster and a set of clothing. This jade plaque contains your name and sword-caster level. If you can successfully cast a higher-level spiritual sword one day, you can take the jade plaque to any sword-caster union to complete the next assessment."
Lin Xi blinked, looked at Feng Nan who had been talking nonstop in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then interrupted: "That... President Feng, can I continue to perform the assessment of the second-grade sword-casting master?"
The boy's voice came, and Feng Nan, who was still smiling and spitting all over the past moment, suddenly stopped.
Lin Xi's voice was not loud, but it also clearly reached everyone present. At this moment, the originally noisy hall instantly became silent.
"Second-grade swordsman assessment?" The old man on the side stared blankly at the harmless young man in front of him, as if he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
Even Shiying and Zhou Xin, who had been immersed in joy, had their smiles frozen, and they looked at the boy in front of them in shock. Their rosy mouths were slightly opened, and their faces were full of incredible words.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were staring at Lin Xi stupidly. They were still amazed before that the other party had successfully become a first-grade swordsman at such an age, but the other party was not shocking and he had to continue the assessment of the second-grade swordsman.
Is the other party sensational or has real material?
It is very rare for a sixteen-year-old first-class swordsman to successfully condense and control it. This requires the corresponding strength. The opponent's ability to successfully subdue a rare white spiritual fire at the age of sixteen has opened their eyes, which shows that the opponent's strength is definitely beyond their imagination.
But while the other party is improving its strength, how can it take so much time to concentrate on studying sword casting? Although it helps to improve its strength in the process of sword casting, it is still much worse than those who focus on practicing.
Feng Nan turned around slowly and looked at the boy in front of him again. The other party's words had reached the level of attention he had paid.
"Lin Xi, a second-grade sword-casting master, wants to successfully cast a yellow-level intermediate spiritual sword. This not only requires higher quantity and quality of the spirit ore, but most importantly, it has higher requirements for the sword-casting master's fire control ability. Are you sure?"
Feng Nan looked at the old man next to him and asked in a deep voice.
"I won't do things that I'm not sure about." Lin Xi smiled indifferently when he heard this. He had sold more than a dozen yellow-level intermediate spiritual swords before, all of which he had personally cast in one month.
If Feng Nan knew about this, he would probably not have shown such a suspicious expression.
After hearing Lin Xi's affirmative answer, Feng Nan's face slowly and solemnly. The sixteen-year-old second-grade sword-casting master was comparable to some powerful sword-casting family members. At least in the Tengyang Domain, there has never been a similar record for thousands of years.
If the other party really passes the assessment of the second-grade sword-casting master, this is definitely a bombshell in the circle of the sword-casting master in the Tengyang Domain.
"Yellow-level intermediate spiritual sword, how sure are you to successfully cast?" Feng Nan calmed down and asked slowly.
"About 70% or 80%..." Lin Xi thought about it, summarized the success rate in the past month, and gave a relatively conservative probability.
In fact, during this month of exploration, Lin Xi's understanding of sword casting became deeper and deeper, especially in the last few days, the probability of the sword block successfully being released from the tripod was almost 100%, and there were few failures.
"Seven...70% to eight?" Feng Nan looked at the boy in front of him in shock, as if he was wondering whether the other party had said something casually.
"Is this guy kidding? If so, wouldn't the spiritual swords on the continent be flooded long ago?" After hearing Lin Xi's words, someone whispered in doubt.
Shiying and Zhou Xin on the side also frowned and looked at the smiling boy suspiciously. The success rate was probably not even some third-grade and fourth-grade sword-casting masters who dared not say it easily, and the guy in front of him was so relaxed.
Lin Xi looked around and found that everyone's eyes looked at him like a monster. He suddenly felt extremely strange in his heart: Is this probability very high?
But Lin Xi never knew that he had not been in contact with sword casting for many days and rarely participated in the circle of sword casting masters. He was not aware of some relatively normal data.
Generally speaking, it is not easy for a second-grade sword-caster to have a 30% chance of success. If it reaches 50% or 60%, I am afraid that even some third- and fourth-grade sword-caster will not dare to say this easily.
If you want to reach 70% or 80%, I am afraid that only those high-level sword-casting masters who have reached the fourth grade or above will dare to blurt out without changing their expression.
After staring at the other party for a while, Feng Nan waved his hand and shouted at the staff behind him: "Come on, prepare for the second-grade sword-casting master's sword billet and spirit mine."
After saying this, Feng Nan turned to Lin Xi and smiled, "I agree to continue the assessment, but you must not fool me."
"Haha, I will naturally do my best. If I hadn't felt it was troublesome, I wouldn't have been so anxious to conduct the next assessment." Lin Xi smiled slightly and said.
"I think it's troublesome..." After hearing Lin Xi's words, everyone around him shook their heads. Why doesn't this guy take this assessment seriously?
"President, you're ready." A swordsman walked over quickly and bowed.
"Come on."
Upon hearing this, several sword-casting masters behind him walked over quickly with a sword cauldron and a stone table. The sword cauldron was different from the ones used before, with a darker color and a much higher material.
There are six pieces of light yellow and dark blue spirit ore on the stone table, emitting a subtle luster, not an ordinary material.
Putting the sword cauldron and the stone table on the ground, the few people bowed and retreated.
Feng Nan pointed to the spirit ore on the stone table and said with a smile: "This is glass gold, a relatively rare spirit ore. It is produced from the bottom of the sea. After years of sand waves, it is very hard. It is not much better than ordinary fine iron. It is a kind of spiritual ore required for the second-grade swordsman to assess."
"This is the sea heart stone, which is born with glazed gold. Although the quality is slightly worse than glazed gold, it is also a rare good thing. You should have no problem with these two spiritual ores, right?"
"Well, it's okay." Lin Xi looked at the glazed gold and sea heart stones with a faint light curiously, and nodded.
"Since that's the case, then... let's start." After saying that, Feng Nan and the old man took a few steps back, leaving enough space for the other party, and stared at the other party's movements with their eyes.
"Uh? Here? myself?" Hearing this, Lin Xi was stunned. He looked at the large group of people around him, felt dozens of gazes, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
"Of course, you still expect someone to accompany you?" Feng Nan cursed with a smile.
Shiying and Zhou Xin also took a few steps back, their beautiful eyes shining with strange light. They wanted to know if the other party's words were really exactly the same as the facts.
If the other party really has a 70% or 80% chance of success as he said, then the three pieces of materials on the stone table are enough for the other party to pass the assessment, but if the other party fails all, although they will not face ridicule from everyone, they will not look good.
