As it turned out, just as Lie Xuyang was showing off his fire seed, Long Sixuan, next to Ye Lingyue, also gathered his own Lifebound Spiritual Spark.
In the palm of Long Sixuan’s hand, there appeared a spark of fire that was green tinged with red, with a translucent hue and an imposing heat, surprisingly stronger than the Qinghong Fla of Lie Xuyang of the Fiery Sun Sect.
Long Sixuan’s fire seed is Qinghong Fla?
Ye Lingyue was taken aback for a mont, realizing this ant that Long Sixuan’s fire seed was much higher than Baobao’s, which was undoubtedly disadvantageous for the upcoming competition.
This would undoubtedly put even more pressure on Baobao.
Ye Lingyue gave an encouraging look to Baobao.
But what surprised Ye Lingyue even more was yet to co.
Just as Baobao received her gaze, he waved his little fist and a pure green fla leaped from his hand.
This little guy, in such a short ti, managed to upgrade his fire seed from Blue-Green Fla to Green Fla?
But under Ye Lingyue’s astonished gaze, the fla in Baobao’s hand suddenly changed, slowly transforming from green to a green-red hue.
Baobao also possesses Qinghong Fla!
After summoning the Qinghong Fla, Baobao bashfully mouthed towards Ye Lingyue.
Judging by the lip movents, this little guy was saying "I’m sorry."
Actually, from a very young age, Baobao had been tested to have the Lifebound Green Fla. The family head Long Huai feared his talent might attract unnecessary trouble, so he had Baobao swear a serious oath not to reveal this truth easily.
And afterwards, Long Huai publicly announced that Baobao possessed the Blue Fla.
After years of cultivation, Baobao’s Lifebound Fire had been raised to Qinghong Fla.
This concealnt lasted for years, even his uncle, Long Sixuan, only knew about it today.
After the family upheaval, Baobao beca more cautious. Though he had many tis wished to confess the truth to Ye Lingyue out of gratitude for her care, he could not break his oath to speak.
Baobao, feeling guilty, did not dare to look Ye Lingyue in the eye.
Ye Lingyue understood; this little guy had been concealing his true strength all along.
She felt a bit fooled but then thought better of it, realizing Baobao must have his reasons for doing so.
Beside her, Long Sixuan’s face turned steel-grey, his previous arrogance vanished without a trace.
"Wow, this little kid from the Hei Family is already a Qinghong Fla at such a young age. Just what fire does the other one from the Hei Family have?" Observers were amazed that little Baobao, only a few years old, already possessed Qinghong Fla.
Even the Sifang City Lord, looking at Baobao, couldn’t help showing a few more signs of approval.
In less than a quarter-hour, nearly all the contestants in the Forging Field had revealed their fire seeds.
Except for one person, who imdiately beca the center of attention.
Ye Lingyue realized, feeling depressed, that everyone was staring at her, not only because she had not revealed her fire yet, but also because she was Baobao’s nominal sister.
Since Baobao, much younger than her, was Qinghong Fla, everyone naturally assud that his sister, "Hei Yue," had a higher-level Lifebound Fire than Qinghong Fla.
Ye Lingyue awkwardly glanced around, seeing that the weakest was still a light blue Lifebound Fire.
In the end, she reluctantly, under all the attention, revealed her Lifebound Fire.
Between her fingers a small fla appeared, Ye Lingyue’s Gray Fire erged hesitantly under a million gazes, trembling like a tiny tadpole.
Judging by its color and size, it looked like a white fla.
"It’s actually the lowest-level White Fire, and this is the third place on the Sifang Ranking?"
"Seriously, can White Fire refine any advanced spiritual artifacts?"
"The younger brother is Qinghong Fla at such a young age, but the sister is White Fire. How embarrassing."
The scene was utterly filled with derisive boos.
Without a stunning Red Fla or a higher-level Lifebound Fire, only a pitiful White Fla, the contrast left the audience very dissatisfied.
Even the Sifang City Lord appeared surprised, having initially thought that Ye Lingyue’s fire seed would be a bit more advanced.
Among everyone present, only one person showed a subtle flash in their eyes upon seeing Ye Lingyue’s Gray Fire.
Suddenly, a clear and pleasant shout ca from the stands.
"Go, boss!"
In colorful attire stood Little Wuya holding Little Zhiyo, waving her small hand and cheering heartily for her boss without a care for anyone else.
Beside her stood Feng Xun.
Facing the jeering audience, a hint of anger flashed in Feng Xun’s dark black eyes, and his gaze slowly swept over the bystanders.
An indescribable chill spread out.
The earlier jeering spectators suddenly felt their hair standing on end, their necks cold as if a knife was to their throat, and everyone fell silent.
Feng Xun morized the faces of the most raucous people, planning to settle scores with them and their families in the days to co.
It wasn’t until the spectator stands turned deathly silent that Feng Xun softly withdrew his gaze, his eyes gentle as they fell upon Ye Lingyue in the field.
The speed of that change of face was sothing to behold.
Once the field was calm, everyone invoked their depths once more, and all the contestants began to refine artifacts.
Each contestant flipped their palms, the spark igniting the charcoal, causing the flas to burn fiercely.
Ye Lingyue was no exception; with a wave of her five fingers, Gray Fire burned up.
The cauldron in front rapidly turned red-hot in an instant.
Artifact refining and alchemy, when it cos down to it, share similar principles. Initially, both involve material purification, then fusion, controlling the fire, followed by shaping. But artifact refining has an additional forging step beyond alchemy.
Five steps needed to be completed within thirty-six hours, leaving little ti to spare.
The contestants next to Ye Lingyue all took out the materials they had prepared earlier, purifying and putting them into the Refining Cauldron.
Ores and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures turned into red liquid ore, and everyone was serious, not the slightest bit slack.
"What’s she doing?"
Because Ye Lingyue was using White Fire, she was soon obscured among those using more advanced flas.
No one paid attention to what she did next.
But up in the stands, there was soone who kept a close eye on Ye Lingyue, and that was Yue i.
Due to having disagreents between Chen Mu and Ye Lingyue, Yue i was eager to find fault with Ye Lingyue.
She noticed that, unlike the others, shortly after starting artifact refining, Ye Lingyue did not promptly start refining ore. Instead, she took out a broken sword and put it into the Refining Cauldron.
"Sifang City Lord, does the World’s First Forging Competition allow secondary forging? Doesn’t this count as a violation?" Yue i pointed at Ye Lingyue’s actions.
