Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 758 - 757 Passing the Third Round

Seeing Chi Yun fly into a rage, Xu Ping’an felt immense satisfaction in his heart.

However, Xu Ping’an soon stopped paying attention to Chi Yun.

At this moment, the five Great Elders of the Refining Alliance had already come out, and the many guests who had come to watch the competition had also arrived.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the first two rounds of elimination, there are now a total of two hundred of you left. Making it to this third round means that you all have at least the capabilities of an Intermediate Grade Artifact Refiner. Now, let’s begin the third round of the elimination contest," the Great Supreme Elder announced.

He then declared the topic of this round’s competition.

A shield-type defensive High Grade Immortal Artifact.

The difficulty of refining a High Grade Immortal Artifact Shield was not ordinary by any means.

It would require the skills of a proficient High Grade Artifact Refiner.

But for Xu Ping’an, such Artifact Refining posed no challenge whatsoever.

The material for this round of competition was a block of Dragon Snow Xuan Steel ore.

This ore was extremely hard and also very difficult to melt.

Cultivators around started to bring out their most treasured flames.

Various powerful Immortal Flames were continuously displayed.

Some cultivators with extraordinary backgrounds even brought out Semi-Divine Level flames.

Among them was Chi Yun.

The flame he used was a kind of Extinguishing Heavenly Fire his father had obtained.

This flame had already reached the pinnacle of Immortal Flames, just one step away from Divine Fire.

Seeing Chi Yun’s flame, the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but shout out in amazement.

This made Chi Yun exceedingly proud.

Although Xu Ping’an’s Immortal Flame was not bad, to melt such ore would take a great amount of time.

Therefore, this time Xu Ping’an did not hold back and directly brought out his Chaotic True Fire.

Once he unleashed his Chaotic True Fire, all the surrounding flames were affected, as if they were paying homage to the Chaotic True Fire, becoming much weaker in comparison.

"What? Chaotic True Fire, how is this possible?" The five Great Supreme Elders on the high platform all stood up in surprise.

The cultivators participating in the competition also showed shocked expressions.

Dongfang Qingxue beside him was equally incredulous.

Qin Feng actually possessed the Chaotic True Fire.

Thinking this, she suddenly turned her head to look at Gongsun Yao, who seemed to understand her meaning and awkwardly nodded.

Dongfang Qingxue was extremely shocked in her heart.

That meant, Gongsun Yao had been to Qin Feng’s residence and knew about Qin Feng owning the Chaotic True Fire.

In that case, Gongsun Yao was likely seeking Qin Feng’s help to cure her poison.

If so, then wouldn’t Gongsun Yao have to...

At this thought, Dongfang Qingxue was also incredibly astonished.

She had not expected Qin Feng to actually possess the Chaotic True Fire.

However, Qin Feng’s Chaotic True Fire was clearly only in its initial stage; to completely cure Gongsun Yao’s poison, the only way was to consume Divine Fire.

That is to say, Qin Feng had come for the Divine Fire.

"It seems he’s also here for the first prize, but can I defeat him?" Dongfang Qingxue couldn’t help but harbor doubts in her heart.

At this moment, the Refining Alliance was in complete uproar.

"This young man actually has the Chaotic True Fire, a legendary flame, natural born Artifact Refiner," exclaimed the Third Great Elder excitedly.

"Yes, if he takes first place and then consumes the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, couldn’t he elevate this Chaotic True Fire to the level of Chaotic Divine Fire?" the Second Great Elder joined in.

"First place, that’s rather unlikely, isn’t it? Even if he has such a flame, he might not take first place. After all, his Cultivation is only at the Tenth Rank Second Layer Realm, which is not enough for being a Superior Grade Artifact Refiner, and is even risky for a High Grade Artifact Refiner," remarked the Fifth Great Elder.

Others also nodded in agreement.

"What a pity, if his cultivation had been higher, perhaps he could have contended for first place," the Great Supreme Elder said, shaking his head.

The soul strength of a Tenth Rank Second Layer Realm cultivator is not enough to reach the level of a Superior Grade Immortal Instrument Master.

"Damn it, he actually possesses such flames, how is such a lowly creature worthy of Chaotic True Fire?" Chi Yun was absolutely furious at this moment.

He had never anticipated that Qin Feng would possess such flames.

Liu Han’s eyes also narrowed, revealing a deep sense of jealousy.

Meanwhile, from a distance, Ji Zhong’s face was filled with greed.

"The Chaotic Flame, it’s mine now," a hint of killing intent flashed through Ji Zhong’s eyes.

He had long wanted to make a move against Xu Ping’an, and now, seeing that Xu Ping’an actually possessed the Chaotic Flame, he was pleasantly surprised.

In his view, the Chaotic Flame was his for the taking.

Xu Ping’an was unaware of these thoughts, and even if he knew, he would not care.

At that moment, he was using the Chaotic Flame to melt the Dragon Snow Xuan Steel ore.

It must be said, the Chaotic Flame was indeed powerful.

Melting such high-grade ore was a piece of cake.

Xu Ping’an effortlessly completed the melting process.

After melting, Xu Ping’an began to remove the impurities.

With the help of the Chaotic Flame, the process of removing impurities was very easy.

Xu Ping’an very easily finished the impurity removal process.

After that was the embryo shaping, which also posed no difficulty for Xu Ping’an.

Controlled by Xu Ping’an’s soul power, the molten metal quickly took the shape of a shield.

Afterward, Xu Ping’an completed seventy-one layers of hand seals.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, without the slightest delay or drag.

Following those steps, the forging began.

Still using the Eighty-one Hammer Strikes Forging Technique, this time Xu Ping’an started using two Soul Hammers right off the bat.

With the hammers alternating, Xu Ping’an’s forging speed was terrifyingly fast.

To the side, Dongfang Qingxue had also begun her forging, opting to follow Xu Ping’an’s pace this time.

From the very beginning, when Xu Ping’an would strike four times to her one, to later on, when Xu Ping’an would strike three times for her one.

Dongfang Qingxue was completely immersed in her forging.

As she continued to immerse herself, her Forging Technique improved constantly.

Eventually, she reached the Perfection Realm of Eighty-one Hammer Strikes, and at that moment, she could keep up with Xu Ping’an’s pace, going from three strikes to her one, to now, two of Xu Ping’an’s strikes to her one.

This brought great joy to Dongfang Qingxue, as she had managed to break through to the level of forging perfection.

With this, she could definitely attempt to craft a Semi-Divine Artifact.

Quickly, Xu Ping’an completed the forging of the seventy-one engraved inscriptions.

Thus, a High Grade Immortal Artifact was born.

After inspecting Xu Ping’an’s Immortal Artifact, Nether Spring directly gave him a token.

Xu Ping’an’s High Grade Immortal Artifact was too perfect, so much so that even Nether Spring could not craft such a perfect High Grade Immortal Artifact himself.

This third round was to last for fifteen days.

So, Xu Ping’an immediately chose to return to his room for closed-door cultivation.

However, the other Artifact Refiners watched as Xu Ping’an departed, their eyes filled with shock.

He succeeded so quickly?
