Hearing this, Murong Shishi saw her beloved disciple had advanced to a mid-level grand artisan and shed tears of excitement.
Dantai Xuanzhong praised endlessly, "Not bad, limitless potential! You actually achieved a complete victory over a strong opponent with the strength of a mid-level grand artisan in the second match!"
"Our Huangfu Sacred Sect has Tan Yun!"
After finishing his laughter, Dantai Xuanzhong looked at Gongsun Ruoxi, his expression turning serious, "In the first match, third round, there are still ten assessment questions left. If you score points on all of them, there will be heavy rewards waiting for you when we return to the sect!"
Gongsun Ruoxi's face filled with joy, "I thank the sovereign, and I will definitely give it my all!"
Then, Dantai Xuanzhong took out ten magic treasures one after another, and Gongsun Ruoxi lived up to expectations, attacking first and answering correctly!
Dantai Xuanzhong spoke with great excitement, "This sovereign announces that in the first match, third round, the Divine Soul Celestial Palace and Eternal Immortal Sect have yet to score."
"And our Huangfu Sacred Sect's Gongsun Ruoxi answered 60 questions, all correct, earning 600 points."
"The first match ends, and the Huangfu Sacred Sect has accumulated a total of 1510 points, temporarily in the lead."
"Divine Soul Celestial Palace has 830 points, temporarily in second."
"Eternal Immortal Sect has 780 points, in last place!"
When he reached the words "last place," Dantai Xuanzhong bit down hard!
"Hmph." Ru Yan Wu Ji stood up from her seat, took a deep breath, and announced the rules for the second round of the artisan techniques grand competition.
The second round was divided into two parts.
In the first part, the two sects and one palace each dispatched 50 disciples to identify treasures, the main materials for refining Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifacts, and their attributes.
The main material refers to what kind of refining materials are used to create the sword body (sword embryo).
Correct answers earn 20 points, while wrong answers deduct 20 points. The rules were identical to the first part of the alchemical arts second round.
Tan Yun didn’t need to think; he knew that the Huangfu Sacred Sect would definitely suffer a heavy defeat in this round.
He had already judged during the first round, first match, that the overall artifact techniques level of the Huangfu Sacred Sect’s Inner Sect was far inferior to that of the Eternal Immortal Sect and Divine Soul Celestial Palace!
In the first match of the first round, the Huangfu Sacred Sect had 50 people identifying the attributes and grades of magic treasures, and the result? Only 16 people answered correctly!
Moreover, now they had to not only identify the attributes but also accurately state the materials used to refine the sword embryo, which was much more difficult than the first round!
As expected, after a moment, Dantai Xuanzhong took out a blood-red Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Sword for the disciples of the Divine Soul Celestial Palace to identify.
Among the 50 disciples of the Divine Soul Celestial Palace, 43 answered correctly, earning 860 points, minus 7 wrong answers that deducted 140 points, resulting in 720 points for this round. Combined with the 830 points from the first match, they accumulated 1550 points!
Zhuge Yu took out a blue Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Sword for the 50 disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect to identify.
The result was that 40 people answered correctly, earning 800 points, minus 10 wrong answers that deducted 200 points, leading to 600 points for this round. Combined with the 780 points from the first match, they accumulated 1380 points.
In contrast, the result of the green Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifact Flying Sword assessed by Ru Yan Wu Ji for the 50 disciples of the Huangfu Sacred Sect was simply miserable!
Only Gongsun Ruoxi, Wang Lun, and 12 others answered correctly, earning 280 points. Combined with the 1510 points from the first match, and after deducting 720 points for 36 wrong answers, they were left with only 790 points!
