Chapter 420 The Current Situation of the Tianfeng Empire
At the same time, Huiyue Empire, Huiyue City.
Today is the final day of the Western Region Weapon Refining Competition. This equipment refining competition that shocked the entire Western Region brought together almost the most talented refining masters in the Western Region. After many screenings, only ten people were left in the square.
Outside the square, there was a sea of spectators. The crowd cheered excitedly, and there was a lot of noise below.
In front of the square is a huge high platform, on which more than a hundred judges from various countries and powerful figures from all sides are seated.
Sitting at the front of the high platform is the chief weapon refiner of the ten empires. However, one seat is vacant. One of the chief weapon refiners of the ten empires is missing.
Next to the empty seat, a muscular man curled his lips and said with a lack of interest: "Feng Gao didn't come. It is an unwritten tradition for the dragon and phoenix clans to bet against each other as soon as they meet. I wanted to take this opportunity to win something from him." It seems there is no chance, which is really disappointing.”
“In the alchemy competition half a year ago, Long Xiaoyao defeated the Feng family’s chief alchemist’s ten natal Gu worms, which really made me envious!”
Qin Zhan stroked his gray beard, glanced at him and said: "Long Batian, who doesn't know that the Tianfeng Empire is being invaded by an army of mysterious puppets? Please stop making sarcastic remarks."
“Currently, 90% of the Tianfeng Empire’s territory has been lost to the attack of the puppet army. The Tianfeng Empire is facing life and death. How can the Feng family’s chief weapon refiner still come here?”
The topic was brought here. At this time, all the judges on the high platform showed solemn expressions and joined the discussion.
"What is the origin of this army of puppets? They appeared suddenly, as if they fell from the sky, without any warning."
"I don't know. It is said that this puppet army is at least five million. Facing such a terrifying number of puppet armies, the Tianfeng Empire simply cannot resist it. In just a few months, it lost most of its territory. At present, it is just lingering. It is destroyed. The game is decided.”
“The cost of producing such a terrifying puppet army is an astronomical figure. How could it be hidden? But now it appears out of thin air. It’s simply evil.”
“I heard that these puppets come from the ruins of Tiandao, and the person who controls these puppets is the God of Gamblers who provoked the fortunes of the four countries against the gambling clan. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but the rumors should not be groundless.”
"Don't gloat about your misfortune. Who knows if those puppet armies will continue to attack other empires after destroying the Tianfeng Empire. I don't think any country can resist such a terrifying number of puppet armies. We should have been ready to join forces."
There are many judges on the high platform, and each person's face is full of dignity and concerns. The mysterious troops that suddenly appear appear to make them back.
Wang An frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.
In his opinion, the Feng family lost half of their family fortune in a bet with the Long family, and Tianfeng City was soon burned down.
The disappearance of a country's imperial city seemed to be an omen. After that, the Tianfeng Empire continued to have bad luck. In less than a year, it had developed to the point where it was on the verge of collapse.
Does losing half of the family’s fate really have such a big impact?
He had to worry that in the huge bet of the alchemy competition, the Huiyue Empire also lost half of its family luck to the Yanting Empire.
Could it be that the fate of the Tianfeng Empire will be the fate of his Huiyue Empire tomorrow, and Huiyue will soon follow in his footsteps?
Thinking about this, he became even more uneasy. How could he have the energy to host the upcoming weapon refining competition?
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's start the finals of the weapon refining competition first. The time has come and the people below can't wait."
A respected old man spoke at this time. Wang An could only restrain his mind, stood up with deep thoughts, looked around for a week and shouted loudly:
“I think you all know the rules of the finals of the Weapon Refining Competition. To put it simply, each person refines the best spiritual weapon. There is no limit to the type. The one with the highest value wins!”
“I announce that the finals of this Western Region Artifact Refining Competition have officially begun!”
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers below, and the sounds came one after another, forming a wave of sound. Every audience was very excited at this time.
After announcing the start of the game, Wang An finally sat down with a heavy heart, obviously not focusing on the game in front of him.
Compared to him, Long Batian looked in a good mood and said with a smile: "You might as well guess who will be the final champion. I guess it is the disciple of the great elder of the Qi Sect."
"Oh? Are you talking about the weapon crazy person?" Qin Zhan turned to look at him and smiled: "I heard that this person is extremely obsessed with weapon refining, but his talent for weapon refining is extremely poor."
"Because he knelt in front of the Qi Sect in the snow for ten days without eating or drinking, he finally moved the great elder and was accepted as a disciple. Because he was obsessed with refining weapons to the point of going crazy, his master gave him the name Qi. Crazy.”
“This person is extremely hard-working and has amazing perseverance. He puts in ten times more effort than his fellow disciples in training every day. He relies on hard work to make up for his shortcomings, and he has the weapon refining skills he has today.”
“In the world of weapon refining, there are not many examples of stupid birds flying first!”
“His total score is currently tied with the other four. It’s hard to say whether he can really defeat a genius who is ten times more talented than him through his own efforts.”
“Hmph! What a stupid bird, hard work is worthless in front of talent!” Wang An said disdainfully: “The reason why he can achieve what he has today is indispensable to his terrifying financial resources.”
"Others have limited resources and cannot practice with a large amount of precious materials." "But unlike him, his financial resources never seem to be exhausted. He can use as much precious materials as he wants without knowing how to save. When he was learning the art of weapon refining, I don’t know how many mountains of gold and silver have been lost.”
"Due to financial constraints, his fellow geniuses only have one chance to practice their skills, but he can practice his skills a hundred times. How can this be compared?"
"With so many weapon-refining materials smashed down, even a pig can fly. It's not surprising that he can reach the finals of the weapon-refining competition, but it is due to financial resources, not to his efforts."
Perhaps because he was in a bad mood, Wang An's tone was a bit unkind.
Previously, the Huiyue Empire lost half of its national fortune to the Yanting Empire. In order to regain its national fortune, the Huiyue Empire made another bet with the Yanting Empire in this weapon refining competition.
Since the Yanting Empire did not have a capable weapon-refining genius, the two countries began to bet on whether Wang's weapon-refining genius could win the championship in this weapon-refining competition.
If Wang's weapon refiner can win the championship in this weapon refinement competition, he can win back half of the national fortune.
If Wang's weapon refiner fails to win the championship in this weapon refining competition, even if he only gets the runner-up, he will lose half of the national fortune of the Yanting Empire.
If Huiyue Empire loses another half of its national destiny, then its national destiny will be gone, and Huiyue Empire's national destiny will be zero.
No one dares to imagine what horrors will happen if a country’s national destiny is zero.
So the Huiyue Empire must win this weapon refining competition, even at all costs.
He would naturally not have a good look at Qi Chi, Wang's biggest competitor for his weapon-refining genius.
At this time, the ten weapon-refining geniuses in the square have already begun to refine weapons. The world of weapon-refining has also been exhausted due to the spiritual power of heaven and earth. It is difficult for a weapon-refining master to become a fourth-level weapon-refining master at the age of fifty.
However, the situation in the world of weapon refining is much better than that of the world of alchemy. At this time, there are five fourth-level weapon refiners and five third-level weapon refiners who can stand in the finals, far exceeding the two fourth-level alchemists in the alchemy competition.
In the No. 1 position, Qi Chi showed his pride. Although his actual age was much more than fifty years old, his transformed human body age was indeed younger than fifty years old. He used a special method to get stuck in an unknown place. It was only a small bug that allowed me to successfully qualify for this competition.
Qi Chi looked at his old master in the crowd. The master nodded to him with a smile. The beautiful senior sister on the side also waved her fist at him, raised her mouth slightly, and shouted playfully: "Come on, junior brother. !”
Qi Chi grinned, love flashed in his eyes, and the cheering made him even more motivated.
He clenched his fists and his eyes were firm. Winning the championship in the weapon refining competition has always been his dream. He has been working tirelessly for this. Today is the day he realizes his dream.
“I, Qi Chi, have decided to win the championship of the weapon refining competition. I will return to Qi Sect with endless glory, slap those elders in the face, and tell them that the master made the right choice to accept Qi Chi as his disciple!”
Qi Chi roared in his heart, and finally no longer hesitated, taking out a large piece of black metal from the storage ring. Under the control of his soul power, the black metal stayed in the air, and a group of colorful flames suddenly appeared under the metal. , burned violently.
As soon as the fire came out, the temperature in the square suddenly increased, and the flames of the other contestants around him were extinguished one after another. In just a few breaths, the flames of all the contestants were extinguished.
In the entire Huiyue City, apart from this ball of colorful flames, there is no flame burning anywhere.
Every Gu cultivator in the audience was shocked, and all the judges on the high platform also stood up one after another.
"This is…"
“Colored flames, this kind of flame, should be the only one ranked 19th on the Sky Fire List to fire towards the sky!”
“It’s actually the Heavenly Fire! He actually has the legendary Heavenly Fire!”
“I really didn’t expect that I would be lucky enough to see Tianhuo in this weapon refining competition. The nineteenth-ranked Tianhuo is really something that a Gu King can conquer?”
All the judges on the high platform were in a state of shock, their expressions full of shock.
“Perhaps it can be seen what kind of metal he is melting. Under the power of the sky fire, this piece of metal has not melted for so long.”
Long Batian looked at the piece of black metal and said with a very solemn expression.
Qin Zhan shook his head and said with emotion: "I think I have recognized all the metal materials in this world, whether they are extinct or not, but this kind of metal material is something I have never seen before. It is simply unheard of and I don't know. Where did this idiot pick it up?"
“Mysterious metal…Skyfire…” Wang An clenched his fists, his face becoming increasingly ugly.
These two combinations made him feel pressured, and the bad feeling in his heart became heavier and heavier.
