Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

After the first competition, all the iron ore underwent quality testing on the spot, and those who reached the intermediate level or above were retained by the blacksmiths.

In the second competition, everyone was required to craft a fourth-grade mechanical box. The blueprints were provided, and the box was to be made using materials available on-site.

This level stumped many people because this fourth-grade puzzle box was too complicated, with a difficulty level comparable to a typical fifth-grade puzzle. Many people gave up after only completing half of it.

Ultimately, everyone who passed the qualifying score was declared to have passed.

Even so, nearly half of the contestants were eliminated from the field.

The minor sects were almost completely wiped out, but they did gain something, at least the blueprint for the fourth-grade mechanism box made the trip worthwhile.

The third match was a free-for-all.

Everyone was free to choose materials and forge the highest quality weapons within their capabilities.

The time limit is seven days.

This is the final match in the weapon-forging competition. Whoever can forge the highest quality weapon will win.

Seven days is a very tight timeframe for forging a high-level weapon.

Everyone is competing not only on technology, but also on speed.

Seven days passed in a flash. People came and went at the event, and on the last day, everyone returned to the venue to await the final results.

Beams of energy shot into the sky. Similar to refining a sixth-grade pill, a celestial phenomenon also occurs when a sixth-grade spiritual weapon is successfully forged.

Five beams of energy illuminated the venue, meaning that five Rank 6 spiritual artifacts were created during this event.

As each weapon was successfully forged, the participants left the stage one by one.

At the entire conference, only two people remained to persevere.

As time was about to expire, the two, as if by prior agreement, spat out a mouthful of blood and bathed it in the magical artifact.

Rumble!

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

Everyone's expressions changed; this was a seventh-grade spiritual weapon...

The two people in the venue were Duan Tianci, the young master of the Forging Heaven Pavilion, and Xiao Teng, an elder of the Xiao family.

Duan Tianci lives up to his name, a prodigy. He is now a Dou Zong expert and a seventh-grade weapon refiner. It is not surprising that he can refine a seventh-grade spiritual weapon.

But Xiao Teng is clearly only a Dou Huang, and I've never heard of him refining a seventh-grade spiritual weapon. Isn't he afraid of backlash for doing this?

However, considering that this might be the last time the Xiao family would represent one of the four major weapon-making sects in the competition, everyone understood why Xiao Teng did this.

With no one in the next generation of the family breaking through to the Dou Zong level, only by forging powerful weapons can they have a chance to protect their legacy.

To maintain his status as one of the Four Great Weapon Masters, he must forge a seventh-grade spiritual weapon!

Xiao Teng glared angrily at Tian Lei and roared to the sky.

Boom!

As the lightning struck, his Douhuang-level defense shattered, and blood flowed from his seven orifices, leaving him looking like a madman.

Even so, he still poured all his soul power into the magical artifact in front of him.

"He doesn't want his life!"

Xiao Teng's actions caused several bigwigs on the stage to stand up and look at the scene in astonishment.

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths...?

Even if the Xiao family withdraws from the four major seats, they will at most decline, but they will not be wiped out. After all, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

"Are the Xiao family members really that stubborn?"

Some viewers remarked.

Duan Tianci glanced at the commotion on Xiao Teng's side and smiled contemptuously.

He slowly made a hand seal, and his soul power suddenly trembled. Xiao Teng, who was wholeheartedly refining his weapon, was instantly affected, and his face turned as white as snow.

"This is it, the spirit condensation process has been interfered with, Xiao Teng is probably going to die this time."

"Young Master Duan went a bit too far this time..."

"Shh, are you out of your mind?!"

Xiao Teng opened his mouth menacingly, blood soaking his teeth. He smiled with relief and poured all his soul power into the magical artifact.

Boom!

The final bolt of lightning struck.

Two seventh-grade spiritual artifacts were finally created.

The longsword in Duan Tianci's hand emitted a faint spiritual aura, and after testing, it was classified as a low-grade seventh-rank spiritual weapon.

Meanwhile, the longsword forged by Xiao Teng, its blade shimmering with blood-red light and brimming with spiritual energy, was graded...

A high-grade seventh-rank spiritual artifact!

When the results came out, everyone present was surprised.

It's astonishing that Xiao Teng could forge a spiritual weapon of this caliber.

Duan Tianci's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He had refined a seventh-grade spiritual weapon in such a short time. Although it was only low-grade, it was something that had never happened in previous sessions.

Originally, he thought he would make a name for himself and break the record, but he didn't expect that it would be ruined by a little Xiao Teng.

However, seeing Xiao Teng's uncertain fate, he felt much comforted.

Old man! So what if you risked your life to forge a high-grade seventh-rank spiritual weapon? You still lost the weapon-crafting competition. The Xiao family's resources are no longer sufficient to stand on this stage.

Duan Tianci had never taken the Xiao family seriously, but Xiao Teng's behavior today had angered him.

He planned to plunder the Xiao family thoroughly once they fell from power.

In the end, this high-grade seventh-rank spiritual artifact will still belong to the Duan family.

The results of the weapon crafting competition are in, with the Xiao family in first place.

The sect leader of the Jade Blade Sect looked rather grim. This ranking meant that even if the Xiao family lost to him in the weapon-making competition, they would not be removed from the ranks of the four great weapon-making sects.

That Xiao Teng is such an eyesore!

Why did you have to stop him at the last moment?

The Weapon Forging Tournament is a recognized authoritative event in the Southern Li Empire. The results of the competition are not private matters and are officially recognized.

Therefore, even if he wanted to change, it would be to no avail.

In other words, Xiao Teng gave his life to allow the Xiao family a few years of respite.

Han Feng stepped down from the platform and came to the side of the dying Xiao Teng.

"Truly worthy of being from that family."

Han Feng smiled gently and put a seventh-grade pill into Xiao Teng's mouth.

Chapter 94 Bloody Battle

The seventh-grade Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Pill has the miraculous effect of breaking through and rebuilding.

This pill was personally developed by Yao Chen, helping his old friend Feng Xian to revive from the brink of death and even advance further to become a Dou Zun.

Han Feng asked the Xiao family to take Xiao Teng down to rest, and then returned to the stands, as the weapon-fighting competition was about to begin.

After Xiao Teng's astonishing actions, everyone stopped underestimating the Xiao family and began to scrutinize them more closely.

Because the Xiao family now has the qualifications to win the championship.

Duan Hong, the master of the Forging Heaven Pavilion, remained calm, his thoughts unreadable. He raised a finger and announced the start of the weapon-making competition.

The first competition was for newly forged weapons.

Various factions sent their strongest members to compete.

The weapon-forging competition is now a done deal. The current competition focuses more on showcasing the beauty of the weapons, and the cultivation level of the participants is naturally also taken into consideration.

The Forging Pavilion compared the weapons according to their grade to keep the strength of both sides relatively constant, so the cultivators they sent out to fight were also of similar cultivation levels.

The weapon-fighting competition continued, and it's worth mentioning that the Azure Blade Sect was defeated this year, losing to the cultivators of the Overlord Blade Sect.

Although the Overlord Blade Sect is not one of the four great weapon sects, it is still a sect with a Dou Zong level expert. This time, it made a dark horse comeback and defeated the Azure Blade Sect in one fell swoop, enjoying great glory.

Bi Changtian's face grew increasingly grim as he watched helplessly as his hope of becoming one of the Four Great Weapon Masters slipped further and further away.

The Yangtze River's waves keep pushing forward, and the situation is constantly changing. If you miss this opportunity, even more surging waves will come your way next time.

With the conclusion of the contest between the Jade Blade Sect and the Overlord Blade Sect, the battle between the four major weapon sects began.

The Divine Machine Sect and the Hundred Refinements Manor are old rivals. Their win-loss ratio used to be roughly the same, ranking second and third respectively.

They could never beat the top-ranked Duantian Pavilion, and the fourth-ranked Xiao family fell from grace without them even lifting a finger.

After a brief intermission, the bell rang for the final match.

After many years, the Xiao family finally stood once again on the martial arts stage of the four major sects.

One of the Dou Huang from the Xiao family, holding the blood-red longsword that Xiao Teng had just forged, stepped onto the martial arts stage.

Meanwhile, Duan Tianci descended from the void with an air of arrogance.

After such a long recovery period, he is now ready to fight again.

Of course, the most important reason was that he did not allow anyone to touch his weapons.

The two teams took their positions, and before the match even started, discussions began in the audience.

The Xiao family would never have been qualified to compete with the Forging Heaven Pavilion, but this time, Xiao Teng forged a high-grade seventh-rank spiritual weapon and won the weapon forging competition. Therefore, he only has one opponent, and that is the Forging Heaven Pavilion!

"It's over. The Xiao family only sent a Dou Huang. So what if they have a high-grade seventh-rank spiritual weapon? They're still going to lose."

Only Dou Zong level experts can unleash the true power of a seventh-grade spiritual weapon. Therefore, no one would criticize the Forging Heaven Pavilion. On the contrary, they would think that the Xiao family is not worthy of being among the four great weapon sects because they cannot even send out Dou Zong level experts.

Han Feng silently observed the gathering aura below. Clearly, Duan Tianci's side was much stronger. A Dou Huang fighting a Dou Zong was no longer something that could be reversed by spiritual weapons alone.

However, the Xiao family is not without a chance of winning.

Han Feng's powerful senses allowed him to detect a terrifying aura within the blood-red longsword. It was the soul power that Xiao Teng had poured into it at the cost of his life, and it already had the rudiments of a weapon spirit.

Han Feng couldn't help the Xiao family in this match. As a finalist recommended by the Xiao family and competing against the sect leaders of various sects, he couldn't participate in the previous matches.

Xiao Yi looked calmly at his opponent, fully aware of the vast difference in their abilities.

But that's not a reason for him to back down.

The hope that Xiao Teng forged with his blood and life is in his hands.

Absolutely, absolutely!

Can't lose!

A resolute will rose in Xiao Yi's heart, and the blood-red longsword flashed.

Duan Tianci smiled dismissively and wiped the long sword in his hand.

How could a Dou Zong possibly lose to a Dou Huang?

when!

As soon as the starting signal sounded, Xiao Yi unleashed an extremely rapid movement, seemingly using some kind of secret technique.

With a single horizontal slash of the blood-red longsword, tiny fragments of space shattered in mid-air.

Duan Tianci blocked with his sword, and the spatial fragments instantly expanded into a black gash, which was extremely shocking.

"Indeed, you've earned the right to please me."

Duan Tianci's tone was slightly cold. He twirled his long sword, and his sharp fighting spirit instantly sliced ​​outwards.

Xiao Yi used his movement techniques to dodge, but the opponent's attacks came one after another like mountains and seas.

boom!

Xiao Yi was slashed back dozens of meters by a single sword strike.

The battle hadn't been going on for long, but the outcome seemed clear.

Duan Tianci is no ordinary Dou Zong. He is being groomed as a successor and has the potential to succeed Duan Hong in the future.
