Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 737 - 574

"This Artifact Refining Competition will adopt an elimination system round by round until the last ten people remain. The final ten will then compete for rankings."

"Alright, enough talk, let’s begin the first elimination round. This first round is very simple, named ’Material Identification.’ As the name implies, it’s about identifying the names and uses of Artifact Refining Materials," said the middle-aged man loudly.

The next moment, the middle-aged man swung his arm, and countless Artifact Refining Materials flew out like a meteor shower towards the Artifact Refiners participating in the competition.

These Artifact Refining Materials were colorful and varied, as if they had eyes, dispersing and flying in front of each participant.

"These are all materials related to Level Five Weapons. The materials in front of each of you are different. Now, take a look at them and we will begin the answers in a moment."

After speaking, the middle-aged man sat down.

The competing Artifact Refiners quickly picked up the materials in front of them and began to study them.

Lin Feng also picked up the Artifact Refining Material in front of him and examined it carefully.

It was an object the size of a cobblestone, completely red without any luster, burning hot to the touch, as if holding a hot iron.

Lin Feng looked puzzled; he had never seen this type of Artifact Refining Material before and had no idea what it was!

However, within Ou Lianzi’s Artifact Refining Inheritance, there were countless materials detailed, and this item must be among them.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and carefully reviewed the Artifact Refining Inheritance in his mind.

After a short while, he opened his eyes, a slight smile on his face.

At this moment, the middle-aged judge surveyed the crowd and spoke loudly, "Alright, let’s start answering now."

After speaking, the middle-aged man’s gaze moved and looked toward the young man at the far left in the front, saying, "Let’s start with you!"

The tall young man nodded upon hearing this, then gently lifted his palm.

In his palm was a white cylindrical object, about three inches long and as thick as a thumb.

"This is the last segment of a bone from the tail of a Level Five Demon Beast Three-Tailed Spirit Monkey," the young man said.

The middle-aged judge nodded and asked, "And what is its role in Artifact Refining?"

"This...!"

The tall young man stalled, and although this segment of the Spirit Monkey’s bone was a Level Five Artifact Refining Material, it was rarely used. Although he had seen it, he was unclear about its purpose.

"Eliminated!"

After a few moments, seeing that the tall young man did not answer, the middle-aged judge directly announced his elimination.

Immediately, the middle-aged judge grabbed and retrieved the Artifact Refining Material from the tall young man’s hand.

Hearing this, the tall young man’s face showed a look of dejection. He had studied Artifact Refining for over twenty years, hoping to soar in this competition, but did not expect to be eliminated in the first round!

He sighed, left the central arena, and walked under a spectator stand.

"Next!"

The middle-aged judge’s gaze fell on another competing Artifact Refiner, lighting up.

This was a woman with a voluptuous figure, her face as pretty as a peach blossom, charming and delicate.

This woman was Ming Yu.

In Ming Yu’s hand was a piece of light golden metal, shimmering with dazzling light.

Seeing the judge’s inquiry, Ming Yu smiled lightly and said, "This item is called Falling Dust Gold, and it is used to neutralize the violent Attribute of Sulfur Iron."

"Pass!"

The judge announced loudly, then motioned for Ming Yu to step aside and wait for the next round.

Ming Yu smiled faintly, gracefully stepping aside.

She was not at all surprised by passing the first round; as an Elder of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and a Level Five Upper Grade Artifact Refiner, she had encountered numerous Artifact Refining Materials, and such a test was no challenge for her.

The next was an elder, who also passed the examination.

Subsequently, one by one, the competing Artifact Refiners began identifying materials, answering the names and functions of the materials in their hands.

Many passed the test, but even more were eliminated.

This round of Material Identification involved meticulously selected materials, all very rare and generally not used in standard Artifact Refining.

Thus, even several Level Five Middle Grade Artifact Refiners were eliminated.

Soon, it was Sikong Yan’s turn.

In Sikong Yan’s hand was a blue Crystal Stone.

Faced with the middle-aged judge’s question, Sikong Yan said, "This item is called Sea Decline Stone, found only in the depths of ten thousand-foot-deep seas. This stone possesses a strong Dark Attribute, which can greatly enhance the Dark Attribute of Weapons when refining certain Dark Attribute Weapons."

Sikong Yan’s answer was flawless, earning nods from the middle-aged judge and the other judges.

"Pass!" the middle-aged judge said.

Sikong Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Lin Feng behind him, then strode to the other side.

Subsequently, the Material Identification test continued.

Since Lin Feng was the last to enter the tower, he was at the very end.

But he was in no hurry, it made no difference whether it was sooner or later.

As time passed, after over two hours, thousands of competing Artifact Refiners were mostly eliminated, with fewer than three thousand passing.

Soon, only a few remained.

It was then Lin Feng’s turn.

"Name? Function?" the middle-aged judge looked at Lin Feng, sparing his words.

Lin Feng raised the cobblestone-like red metal in his hand and smiled, "This item is called Ancient Melting Rock, which exists only in the lava depths at the base of volcanoes."

"Continue!" the middle-aged judge nodded.

"The function of the Ancient Melting Rock is to stabilize the strength of the Fire Element Iron!" Lin Feng said.
