Under the gaze of countless eyes, Qin Chen ignited the furnace fire and directly placed the Wu Xu tungsten iron above it.
At the same time.
Boom! The Golden Sun Flame and the Ghostly Ice Flame were unleashed by Qin Chen in an instant. That strand of power blended into the refining platform's furnace fire through the array plate Qin Chen had previously refined.
"Bang..." After those two flames entered the furnace fire, the originally boiling crimson flames on the refining platform suddenly emitted a series of explosive sounds, and the constantly rolling crimson flames instantly transformed into a pale blue color, with a flicker of white flames in the center of the blue fire.
The temperature around the entire refining platform suddenly surged, waves of heat ravaging the space, and Qin Chen, standing before the refining platform, quickly became drenched in sweat. With his strength, he also felt a scorching heat under such flames.
Whoosh! The flames burned fiercely, even scorching the formation that separated Qin Chen from the other refiners, creating waves of disturbances.
"What flames were those earlier?"
Master Mu Ye was greatly astonished, even Master Mu Gu Tian's gaze sharpened, revealing a look of shock.
The two types of flames displayed by Qin Chen exuded a terrifying aura. The key point was that after merging into the furnace fire through the array plate, it actually erupted with power comparable to the Heavenly Saint flames. Who wouldn’t be startled?
The three top-tier prodigies each possessed extraordinary abilities, with methods more astonishing than the last.
"Finally, the refining begins." Qin Chen smiled slightly, a refining hammer appearing in his hand, and a powerful aura surged from him as he placed the already scorched Wu Xu tungsten iron onto the refining platform and began to hammer it down fiercely.
The refining hammer in Qin Chen's hand continuously emitted beams of light, which flowed into the Wu Xu tungsten iron on the refining platform.
Clang! With each strike, the Wu Xu tungsten iron continuously changed shape under Qin Chen's hammering, impurities were incessantly removed, and under Qin Chen's power, subtle changes were taking place.
Refining was a monotonous task.
For the next two days, everyone was busy hammering materials. Various materials began to become exquisite under the hammering of each refiner, and by the third day, some refiners had started to melt the materials.
There were ten types of materials, each playing different roles in the refining process. Some were used to integrate the entire sacred weapon, some to activate the properties of the main material, and others to eliminate certain defects in the formed sacred weapon—there were many applications.
This was the time to test each refiner's skill. Even with the same materials, different refiners would create weapons that differed in effectiveness, not to mention the sacred weapons made from different materials.
Over three hundred refiners were fully focused, their spirits highly concentrated, not daring to show even a trace of negligence.
Bang! By the third day, a deep sound echoed. A refining master was crafting the sacred weapon before him when suddenly a loud explosion occurred, and the sacred weapon in front of him shattered into countless pieces.
The refining master was instantly dazed.
"Tester number ninety-three, due to the incorporation of waste materials, refining failed."
A cold voice came from the judge of Tian Gong, announcing indifferently.
The refining master revealed a look of regret. He had chosen a piece of waste material, his expression sour. He knew he had been eliminated and could only leave the square helplessly.
Such scenes occurred from time to time in other areas as well.
Not every refiner could eliminate twenty-one waste materials. If they chose poorly, they would naturally fail mid-refinement, thus losing their chance to enter Tian Gong.
But none of them were wronged; if they couldn't even discern the quality of materials, naturally they wouldn't be selected by Tian Gong.
