237: 135 237: 135 Xiang Ziyu quickly descended with the crowd.
Unlike when Ling Xi and Yi Sheng had appeared before, as soon as he showed up, he was the focus of countless people.
Almost everyone’s attention was on him.
“Four Treasures Peak has sent out another disciple.”
“Although the last two disciples from Four Treasures Peak both failed and didn’t acquire even a single Peak Bamboo, they were indeed strong.
If they hadn’t been too eager, I even believe they might have claid first place!
Especially Ling Xi!”
“Even if they hadn’t taken the first, they would have been secure in the top three!”
“This disciple from Four Treasures Peak, participating in artifact refining, couldn’t possibly be as strong as the previous two, could he?”
As Xiang Ziyu listened to the various discussions around him, he couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
Being the protagonist ca with such treatnt, attracting countless people’s attention the mont you appear.
Unfortunately, this ti, for his master and for Four Treasures Peak, he had to hide his own edge.
After the law enforcent Elder and everyone else were in place, the announcent continued, “This competition will be presided over by Elder Ai Yunqi of the Immortal Soldier Workshop at Hidden Dragon Observatory.”
Upon hearing this on the Gathering Immortals Platform, the faces of the disciples participating in the competition changed dramatically.
Elder Ai Yunqi, why would she be presiding over the competition?
While both are Elders of Hidden Dragon Observatory, so may not know about Gu Chengyu of the Five-Elent Pill Ground, after all, not everyone practices alchemy or frequents the Five-Elent Pill Ground.
But Ai Yunqi of the Immortal Soldier Workshop, anyone who’s been to Hidden Dragon Observatory knows her, after all, who wouldn’t try their luck to see if they could acquire a Divine Weapon left behind by an ancestor!
Moreover, Ai Yunqi, who manages the Immortal Soldier Workshop, is notorious for her terrible temper.
She’s presiding over the competition this ti?
I heard that when the last Hundred Peaks competition was held, the Sect Leader True Person had invited Elder Ai Yunqi to preside, but she refused.
So why did she agree this ti?
Having her in charge, you don’t have to think about it, it’s definitely going to be strict.
Ai Yunqi appeared before everyone with a cold expression and announced directly, “The first round, forging a Sword Prototype, whatever the type, as long as it reaches fifty hamrings and has sufficient strength, it will be considered up to standard.
Begin now.”
As her voice fell, everyone quickly got busy.
If you asked the spectators to pick the least desirable event to watch from the Hundred Peaks competition, artifact refining would be the last choice.
In other processes, such as talisman or alchemy crafting, there’s not much noise, and even if they’re hard to understand and can’t bother you, you can still chat with others.
But once artifact refining started, with the clanging of the iron hamring, it was enough to make one’s heart flutter – that was the sound of thousands forging simultaneously…
Amid the sounds of hamring, the gaze of the vast majority, however, fell on Xiang Ziyu.
“What kind of phenonon is that?
Such a strange phenonon!”
“I feel as if it’s two shadows, one black and one white?”
“What are these shadows?”
“Isn’t he an Ancient Immortal Body?
I know that Ling Xi seems to have the Ancient Talisman Immortal Body, but does anyone know what Xiang Ziyu’s Immortal Body is?”
“I don’t know, the type of his Immortal Body is not important.
The key is, how good is his artifact refining ability?”
“I don’t know, but look at the way he’s forging the Sword Prototype, his technique seems quite unique.”
“Right, if he’s as strong as the other two disciples from Four Treasures Peak and can maintain that, then there’s still a chance.”
“Look, while everyone else is purely forging, the way he forges seems to cause both the Iron Hamr and the Sword Prototype to resonate.”
“It feels very impressive.”
“Soone remind him quickly!”
Despite the incessant clanging of iron, many who had placed their bets on Four Treasures Peak still made an effort to shout at the top of their lungs.
“Xiang Ziyu, you have to hold steady.”
“Right, don’t make the sa mistake as your senior sisters.”
“You must first ensure you get a piece of Peak Bamboo, then aim for a higher rank.”
The scene was too chaotic for Xiang Ziyu to hear the crowd clearly.
He was just forging the iron prototype before him, striking it repeatedly, and each blow added a vibration, which, as he continued, made him embarrassed to realize he could no longer cause any vibration.
“The quality of this material is too poor; if I continue to vibrate it, the Sword Prototype will break before reaching fifty hamrings.
I need to think of a way…”
Xiang Ziyu muttered to himself, surveying the Sword Prototype he had forged, thought for a mont, and then changed direction in his forging, also increasing the strength of the vibrations.
If the entire Sword Prototype couldn’t uniformly withstand the force, then he would change the point of impact.
Sweat continuously dripped to the floor beneath him, and he beca imrsed in his forging.
Artifact refining is not easily accomplished, even if it’s just a prototype, it still requires a lot of ti.
Ai Yunqi waited for four hours before she finally spoke up, “Ti’s up, everyone, cease your work!”
As soon as her voice fell, everyone stopped what they were doing, except for one person, who continued to strike with the hamr in his hand.
“Clang…”
The sound of tal striking tal was unusually clear at that mont.
Ai Yunqi took flight, heading straight for the only figure who hadn’t stopped his work.
“Xiang Ziyu!” Ai Yunqi looked at Xiang Ziyu with a cold expression and said harshly, “The Elder has ordered you to stop, didn’t you hear?
Why are you still forging?”
That’s right, Xiang Ziyu was indeed a disciple of Peak Master Cao, but a competition is a competition, rules are rules, and breaking the rules is not allowed for anyone!
