Chapter 1029: Chapter 1027: This guy is a bumpkin!

The next day, at 10 a.m.

Sword Forging Square.

Ren Feifan almost overslept again, but fortunately, the ascetic without desire woke him up in advance.

The two hurried to the Sword Forging Square.

As soon as Ren Feifan arrived at the competition area, he saw that everyone was already standing, and all eyes uniformly landed on him.

If looks could kill, the crowd would have left Ren Feifan riddled with a thousand holes.

Ren Feifan noticed that besides Elder Qiu’s gaze being particularly intense, there was another gaze that was just as formidable.

It was Duan Qintian from the first forging furnace.

Ren Feifan couldn’t help feeling strange, as he had not offended the man, so why should he harbor such strong killing intent towards him?

It was clear he couldn’t wait to see him dead.

Moreover, there was a deep disdain in his eyes, as if a hunter was looking at his prey.

Ren Feifan kept a vigilant mind and returned to his spot.

Unexpectedly, he found a huge stone at each competition position.

This stone was pitch-black, radiating a mysterious energy, with some powerful force deeply dormant inside!

It didn’t look like any stone from Huaxia.

But Ren Feifan was certain that this kind of stone was extremely suited for sword refining! It seemed born for the craft!

"Dong!"

Soon, the bell tolled, and its echoes resounded!

Old Qu, with his staggering gait, appeared on stage again. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze distant as he swept over the fifty competitors and said lightly,

"Standing before me now are Huaxia’s finest artifact refiners and sword casting masters. Today’s glory will undoubtedly belong to you. I’ll not waste words. The second round begins now, and it is also the final round of the sword-making competition: extraterrestrial meteoric iron sword forging!

You’ve seen the object before you; this stone has an extraordinary origin. Hidden Sword Villa was fortunate enough to acquire a huge block of extraterrestrial meteoric iron and divided it into several hundred portions. This meteoric iron is excellent for sword casting, and as many of you may have guessed, that’s what lies before you.

This round will be judged on who produces an artifact of the highest grade and greatest power! The winner will be personally received by the villa master.

Besides the stone in front of you, on your left, there is a huge materials repository, with countless sword forging materials to choose from. Of course, some may use their own materials if they have them.

This round has no restrictions, and you are free to showcase your skills, but you must not use any finished swords as your competition result! If discovered, disqualification will follow! And you have one day and one night; when time’s up, the event ends! Do you have any objections?"

"No!"

Came the uniform response from below.

Old Qu nodded, his ancient face suddenly grave, his gaze intensifying as he declared, "Then I announce, the second round, the sword forging competition, officially begins!"

"Clang!"

The bell sounded, and atop the Sword Forging Square, countless fireworks suddenly bloomed.

With their brilliant and colorful displays, the fireworks appeared out of nowhere. The spectacular sight ignited the audience, pumping their blood with excitement!

After days of waiting, the competition had finally arrived!

But at this moment, most artifact refiners’ faces showed no fluctuation; instead, they quietly began to select materials from the repository on the left.

Everyone was moving, except Ren Feifan, who stood still, gazing at the extraterrestrial meteoric iron in front of him, lost in thought. He discovered that the energy within the stone bore some resemblance to the Ancient Dust Sword.

Could it be that the Ancient Dust Sword was forged from extraterrestrial meteoric iron?

Should he craft a lower-grade version of the Ancient Dust Sword?

Moreover, with the Sword Spirit of the Ancient Dust Sword to assist him, there surely was no one in this world who understood the forging of the Ancient Dust Sword better than the Sword Spirit.

Elder Qiu, who was already picking his materials, started forging with dark iron on the forging furnace. While he was free, he glanced at Ren Feifan and saw that he was still staring blankly at the stone before him. Elder Qiu turned around and with a chuckle said,

"You played with fire so well yesterday, yet when it’s time to truly compete, you can’t handle it? Lost your nerve?"

"If you don’t know how to cast swords, then just watch how grandpa does it."

Having said that, Elder Qiu no longer paid attention to Ren Feifan and continued to focus on his sword casting.

He knew the key to this round very well, so he couldn’t afford to be distracted in the slightest.

At the same time, Ren Feifan noticed that No. 1, Duan Qintian, was also not casting his sword. Instead, he gazed somberly at Ren for a good ten minutes, as if he had determined that Ren couldn’t cast a sword, before starting his own work.

Ren Feifan didn’t care about the others. After thinking for a long time, he already had his answer and went to the left to select materials.

Voices of the Sword Spirit reached his ears. Although some materials were not available here, suitable substitutes could be found.

The profound reserves of Hidden Sword Villa were evident!

Soon, Ren Feifan returned to his spot, carrying a large pile of materials!

Standing in front of the Forging Furnace, Ren Feifan swept his gaze over the materials before him, just about to start, when a cold laugh sounded beside him, "So what if your refining stones is impressive? Sword casting is the true path to power. You really are a country bumpkin."

Ren Feifan cast a glance at the unfamiliar Artifact Refiner beside him without uttering a word.

Beating him up wouldn’t be as satisfying as a slap to the face!

His eyes narrowed, and he began to control the meteoric iron from beyond this realm on top of the Forging Furnace!

Above the circular Sword Forging Square, all participants had begun casting their swords, and after a while, sweat began to seep on their foreheads. The crowd watching below fell so silent that anyone causing a distraction would be expelled from Hidden Sword Villa.

After the better part of a day, the quiet atmosphere was finally broken by a "ding!" as the sound of a sword cry rang out!

Someone had successfully cast their sword!

All spectators held their breath, their eyes drawn to booth No. 17.

Indeed, from the No. 17 Forging Furnace emerged a longsword shining with silver light.

However, the Artifact Refiner, who was about fifty years old, didn’t show much joy on his face, because the sword was merely of the second rank and low quality, utterly insignificant.

Such a sword had no chance of winning the competition!

Afterward, several participants successfully completed their swords, but the highest rank achieved was only a third-rank superior quality.

These contestants were promptly eliminated.

The sword that Elder Qiu was working on had already begun to take shape, and he kept pinching out spells with his fingers, sending a series of spells into it, as the sword in front of him started to pulse with rushing waves of energy!

It was a fourth-rank mid-quality sword energy!

No. 1 Duan Qintian didn’t show weakness either. From his Forging Furnace, faint sword cries could be heard, emitting a terrifying presence!

The observing crowd around was dumbstruck with amazement!

Because his sword was of the fourth rank at its peak—just a step away from the fifth rank!

Old Qu nodded his head, Ren Feifan’s victory in the first round had stimulated Duan Qintian’s competitiveness, unleashing his potential.

This also led to Duan Qintian attempting to craft a sword of the fourth rank at its peak!

Subsequently, his gaze fell on Ren Feifan again!

But Ren Feifan’s hands were still extracting from stones, without even the basic form of a sword at hand!

Had he given up?

A sense of astonishment couldn’t help but arise in Old Qu’s heart.

Could it be that this young man really didn’t know how to cast swords?

Indeed, the boy was too young, and perhaps his expectations for him were just too high.

Sigh.
