Everyone tried their best to suppress their saliva as they consoled themselves.
It's nothing, it's just a basket of steamed buns, and at the very least, there are only ten of them. Ten Soup Dumplings, no matter how slow Feng Zhi ate, he wouldn't be able to keep eating, right?
They only had to wait for Feng Zhi to finish eating, and then they would be able to continue refining without being disturbed.
However, these people's thoughts were too naive!
A basket of steamed buns did not need to be eaten for a long time. In less than a quarter of an hour, the ten extremely pretentious Soup Dumplings had already entered Feng Zhi's stomach.
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, Feng Zhi had flipped her wrist slightly, and an oiled paper package appeared in her hand.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Feng Zhi's hands, wanting to know what exactly was inside the oil paper bag.
It couldn't be eating again, could it?
Some people were secretly guessing.
In the next moment, Feng Zhi reached out and opened the oil paper bag.
Then, everyone nearly fell face first onto the ground.
What was inside the oil paper bag was the Moo beast meat that Feng Zhi's mother was most proficient in in. Ten years ago, when Feng Zhi went to the Misty Forest to train, this meat had caused the disciples of Feng Family who were training together with him to salivate.
Despite the past ten years, Lee's mother's expertise in cooking meat was clearly only good at doing better.
So...
Just as Feng Zhi picked up a piece of jerky and placed it in her mouth to chew, the fragrance wafted out, causing many people to secretly swallow their saliva.
If the lot of them could still tolerate the bun from before, then who knew when Feng Zhi would be able to eat such a big bag of jerky?
Moreover, Feng Zhi could take out jerky after eating buns, who knew what else she would take out after eating jerky?
Tie Lin and the others were the first ones who couldn't stand it anymore.
What a coincidence, Tie Lin and the rest were right next to Feng Zhi. If one were to say that they were the ones being affected the most, they would be the ones who were affected the most.
Giving Feng Zhi a fierce stare, Tie Lin shouted loudly towards where the other evaluators were: "Great Clan Elder, as well as the various evaluators, I want to protest, it is already time for the competition, not only is Miss Feng Zhi not starting to forge her own weapon, but she is also taking out all kinds of food to affect the competition!"
From Tie Lin's point of view, one of the reasons why Feng Zhi had done so was because she was someone who would lie, and would not even know how to refine artifacts. The other was because she wanted to use this opportunity to influence others, such as the performance of these Iron family disciples.
Tie Lin had already made a bet with Feng Zhi, how could he allow Feng Zhi's scheme to work?
When Tang Tian Jue and the other judges heard this, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Refiners' Competition had been held so many times, but this was the first time this had happened.
However, among the many rules of the Refiners' Competition, there was no rule that prohibited participants from eating.
In fact, this final match lasted for three days. During these three days, these hundred refiners had been working in a high-intensity manner the entire time. It was simply unrealistic for them to not eat anything at all.
Therefore, this point could not be used as a reason to protest at all.
Thus, Tang Tian Jue and the others did not speak.
On the other hand, Feng Zhi was unhappy.
She purposefully waved the jerky in her hand around and even used some spirit energy to disperse the aroma of the jerky. She cast a sidelong glance at Iron Lin when the surroundings were enveloped in the rich fragrance, "Young master, you're wrong. You can't just stop people from eating after three days of competition, can you? I'm just a bit too hungry, how am I hurting you?"
Feng Zhi spoke with an aggrieved expression.
Tie Lin almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
Although he already knew that he would definitely not be able to beat Feng Zhi in words, he was already feeling depressed at the fact that he had been forced back just like that with the phrase "I got hungry a little too early".
But as it turned out, he really did not have any reason to refute Feng Zhi.
He believed that if he wanted to use this matter to tangle with Feng Zhi, Feng Zhi would not allow him to eat anything for the next three days.
Although he had not known Feng Zhi for long, Tie Lin still "trusted" Feng Zhi.
Feng Zhi had not fully realized that she was vomitting, and said with conviction: "Also, I was just trying my best. Refining is not an easy task, and the concentration required of a refiner is extremely high, if I am not able to focus all my attention on one, just a slight oversight would destroy my imminent success, and I had purposely taken something to help you win against yourself."
Everyone was left speechless.
Could it be that they had to say that, as the most outstanding young refiners, their level of concentration in refining would actually be defeated by such a simple food offensive?
Of course not!
At the very least, I don't need to take such a long time to forge artifacts. Hmm, it should only take two or four hours, and it should still be enough for the last four hours of the last day to start. There's still nearly three days of idle time left, don't tell me you want me to just sit here and watch? "
When he said that, everyone looked at Feng Zhi with their white eyes.
I've heard people boast, but I've never heard anyone boast like that.
In three days of time, they had to rely on their own abilities to handle every single step of the refining process to the utmost perfection, and also needed to successfully refine a weapon or armor. They were still worried that the time in front of them was not enough, yet Feng Zhi boasted that it would only take four hours?
It would be strange if they could believe it!
Amongst the hundred of them, most likely, only Tang Ning would believe Feng Zhi's words.
However, Tang Ning was currently furthest from Feng Zhi, and was even currently focusing on the materials in her hands, so she did not notice any movement coming from Feng Zhi's side at all.
Feng Zhi knew that these people would not believe her, and she did not try to explain.
In fact, wouldn't it be better to slap his face with the truth when the final result was revealed?
And after Feng Zhi's boast, those who were originally affected all let out a chorus sound. After that, they no longer looked in Feng Zhi's direction, and only focused their minds with all their might on the artifact that they were trying to forge.
This year's Grand Refiner's Competition was probably the most crazy event that the Tang Clan had ever seen since the start of the Grand Refiner's Competition.
Tens of thousands of spectators in the surrounding grandstands were paying close attention to some of the hottest refiners in the past competitions. There were even some refiners who were completely focused on observing how other refiners forged their equipment in order to improve themselves.
But this time, a majority of the spectators only paid attention to Feng Zhi!
Because from the first day to the third day, Feng Zhi's hands and mouth had never stopped moving.
