"Haha, I didn't expect that you actually exploded the cauldron. It's really useless." Yun Yan's voice sounded, "It's really boring. I thought you could surprise me more."
The young man in the field remained silent, but there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
Because the quality of the cauldron provided by Mr. Yuan was far higher than that of the ones currently participating in the competition, its ability to withstand flames was much stronger than this. Shi Lei used his only experience to refine it, but unexpectedly something went wrong: it exploded.
The tripod is broken.
"Brother Shi Lei..." Xi'er bit her lip and looked at the silent young man on the stage. His young figure looked so lonely in the empty square.
"Xi'er, Shi Lei can persevere but he's doing well now. After all, he's too young. He's seven years younger than Yun Yan." Qian'er quickly comforted her.
"You don't understand. Brother Shi Lei will definitely be very disappointed. Although he is usually very low-key, his unique pride flows in his bones." Xi'er shook his head, "Usually you think I work very hard, but compared to him
It’s not enough. I’m not worried that he will fail, but I feel sorry that he will be more strict with himself in the future. In fact, what I care about is not what achievements he can achieve. I just hope that he can be happy and I am satisfied.”
The eyes of the old man from the Weapon Refining Guild were full of regret. From the previous refining process, he found that the spiritual energy leaked from Shi Lei and Yunyan Cauldron were not much different, which meant that the level of the two people's refining was almost the same.
For such an age to reach this level, not to mention being the first person in Yunzhou, he is even rare in the entire continent. And according to the information he got, Shi Lei has only been refining weapons for four years, so for him
The shock became even more intense.
As a person of high status in the Weapon Refining Guild, he has a deep understanding of the difficulty of refining weapons, so now he secretly made up his mind that although Shi Lei failed, he would definitely be allowed to join the guild.
But how to let the Splitting Cloud Sect let go is indeed a problem. How can a weapon refining genius of this level give up so easily?
"Hmph, this is Shi Lei who Xi'er likes. Unexpectedly, the cauldron exploded. He is a waste. Wait until I meet Xi'er and ridicule him!" I don't know when, Qian Zi returned to the weapon refining square again,
However, she avoided her "bad senior sister" from a distance.
Mr. Yuan's fingers trembled slightly. Although he did not have the confidence to win the championship, it was very safe to break into the top five. Unexpectedly, he exploded at this time, which made him feel a little surprised.
However, according to Shi Lei's personality, he would never admit defeat until the last moment. Moreover, although there were cracks in the cauldron, there was no flame seeping out. Shi Lei might still have a way.
"Why don't you admit defeat? It will be even worse if you keep going like this. I didn't expect Xi'er to fall in love with a waste like you, not even one ten thousandth of Shaojun's!" Yun Yan spoke while speeding up his hand.
The speed, perhaps due to Shi Lei's explosive cauldron, made him a little too excited, and his movements were a little trembling.
Shi Lei continued to remain silent, and the purple flames in his hands spurted out, covering the gap from the inside. However, this could only temporarily prevent the temperature from leaking, but over time, it would cause a larger gap to rupture, and then it would be impossible to
redeem.
However, Shi Lei's movements were relatively hidden, so everyone was curious as to why the fire energy did not leak out, but the unstable high temperature in the furnace indicated that there would be a stronger explosion.
"What on earth is Shi Lei doing? Does he want the cauldron to explode completely? You must know that it is not as simple as just exploding the cauldron. You may be seriously injured by the explosion!" Everyone felt that the furnace cauldron was getting more and more unstable.
The stable high temperature made me take a few steps back without realizing it.
Yun Yan also felt Shi Lei's weirdness. The oppressive high temperature made him feel extremely dangerous. The speed in his hand continued to increase. A quarter of an hour later, a long sword filled with three-star spiritual energy was put into the cooling pool with exclamations.
inside.
The classification of the levels of refined weapons is mainly based on the aura of the weapon, and the standard of measurement is star aura. Generally, low-grade ghost weapons are below five-star auras, while six-star auras fall into the category of mid-grade ghost weapons.
Yun Yan glanced at Shi Lei triumphantly, with disdain in his eyes. He was young and ignorant, but he wanted to compete with him. It was such a fool's errand that he didn't understand his own position clearly.
Sweat was dripping from Shi Lei's face. Although he could still control the temperature of the refining part of the furnace, the temperature of the Purple Sky Fire Essence was so terrifying that he could no longer hold it any longer.
"Are we going to blow up the cauldron again?" Mr. Yuan looked at Shi Lei quietly, "Is it really going to end like this? My requirements for it are indeed a bit harsh. It would be great to be able to break through in three months.
It’s normal for the weapon refining success rate to be low.”
Even Mr. Yuan himself couldn't do it back then, let alone a young man with only four years of experience in refining weapons.
Qi Yuanzi stroked his beard with a proud expression. Yun Yan's success made him completely relaxed. Shi Lei was obviously at the end of his game and should give up soon, otherwise the consequences of the explosion would be very serious.
The temperature of the furnace is getting higher and higher, rising rapidly, and finally, in the eyes of everyone who can't understand, it is about to explode!
"Ah~ Brother Shi Lei, don't want it!" Xi'er shouted loudly. Shi Lei was either killed or injured by the explosion at such a close range.
Some timid female disciples simply closed their eyes, not daring to look anymore, as their ears seemed to recall the shocking explosions and Shi Lei's screams.
Yun Yan laughed without any scruples. He didn't expect Shi Lei to be so stupid, even if his life was at risk, he still persisted.
However, people with some discernment feel infinite pity for Shi Lei. Everyone is aware of his son's potential. Given time, Yunzhou will probably produce another world-famous weapon refiner.
However, just when the temperature reached its highest peak, there was no tragic scene of death from the cauldron as everyone imagined. Shi Lei, who was originally silent, shouted loudly, and an ice dragon appeared on his left arm instantly, circling around the outside of the cauldron in the astonished eyes of everyone.
After one rotation, a thick layer of ice immediately formed, tightly wrapping the furnace tripod.
The terrifying cold air of Bing Sui quickly lowered the temperature of the surrounding air, and the outer wall of the cauldron exploded due to the sudden cold air, but the fragments were tightly held by the ice layer, and it was still a furnace cauldron.
appearance!
The entire square was completely still at that moment, looking at the young man and the "Ice Cauldron" in disbelief. I had never seen such a phenomenon before, it was so weird.
Using a thick layer of ice to prevent the cauldron from exploding and shattering was also Shi Lei's quick wit. However, it seemed to be effective. Purple Sky Fire Essence and Ice Marrow Cold Qi had already generated spiritual energy, and he could adjust the cauldron completely and accurately under his control.
temperature in.
"What kind of thing is this? It can actually have such a powerful cold energy! It can stop the furnace cauldron at the highest temperature!"
"I don't know. This is really the first time I have seen such a scene. I didn't expect Shi Lei's body to be able to withstand such a strong cold. I really underestimated him."
"I knew this kid wouldn't fail so easily. You still don't believe me even after I told you. Why doesn't anyone believe the truth now?"
"Why don't you die? Who said before that Shi Lei would definitely not be Yun Yan's opponent, and now he's doing it as an afterthought? Don't you think you're being shameless?"
…
Yun Yan's smile froze on his face, and he stared blankly at Shi Lei. He didn't realize what was going on for a moment, but Shi Lei's continued refining made him understand that the danger of exploding the cauldron was temporarily lifted.
"How is this possible? This Shi Lei is too weird. It seems better to be careful in the future." Qian Zi rubbed her eyes hard and thought for a moment.
But Xi'er was so happy that she shed tears. Shi Lei had given him too many surprises.
Mr. Yuan took a sip of tea gently, but a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. This boy always creates miracles and surprises himself every time.
Mei, the woman in red, glanced at Shi Lei meaningfully, wondering what she was thinking.
Shi Lei wiped his sweat gently and took a breath. Next, it was the moment of his rebirth. For those verbal insults, he did not have to respond like a shrew one by one. Showing his strength was the best way.
A favorable counterattack!
Glancing at the ghost weapon in the Yunyan cooling pool, he withdrew his mind and slowly sensed the changes in the materials in the cauldron. The temperature in the cauldron seemed to be slightly lower than what he felt in his heart, but just relying on the purple sky flame,
It seems difficult to achieve in a short time.
He gently pointed his right hand at the furnace cauldron, and a drop of purple liquid crystal-like substance was integrated into the furnace cauldron, and the temperature increased again.
"This is the Purple Sky Fire Essence!" Qi Yuanzi spat out a sip of tea with a look of disbelief on his face.
He had always coveted the Purple Sky Fire Essence from Split Sky, but he never had the chance to get it. When he learned that Split Sky was destroyed by Split Cloud, he was still thinking about whose possession of the Fire Essence it was, but he never expected that it would appear.
In Shi Lei's hands.
As soon as Qi Yuanzi's words came out, there was an uproar immediately. The benefits of good fireworks for refining weapons are self-evident, not to mention the fire essence.
Everyone's eyes changed again when they looked at Shi Lei, and they were full of questions about the young man. What made the Splitting Cloud Sect give the Fire Essence to this young man?
Mr. Yuan still sipped the tea gently and did not express any opinions on the discussion of Qi Yuanzi and others. This made everyone more interested in the young man.
The addition of the Purple Sky Fire Essence has great benefits in improving the quality of the refined weapon, and Shi Lei can directly control the position and temperature of the Fire Essence with his spiritual consciousness. After two quarters of an hour, the weapon refining is basically completed.
Shi Lei forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and carefully put a long square-headed hammer into the cooling pool. The shape of this weapon was inspired by some hammers he found when he was cleaning the ancient battlefield. It looked a bit square-headed.
The appearance of the famous weapon refiners present changed their expressions, and they all stood up to watch.
