Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 738 - 574_2

However, the middle-aged referee, after hearing Lin Feng’s words, just slightly shook his head and said, "Disqualified!"

Lin Feng was startled upon hearing this, immediately widening his eyes in disbelief.

Disqualified?

How could this be possible?

The effects of the Ancient Melting Rock detailed in Ou Lianzi’s Artifact Refining Inheritance, how could they be wrong?

Ou Lianzi was an ancient Emperor Level Artifact Refiner, could his explanations be mistaken?

On the viewing platform, countless Martial Artists sighed inwardly. Lin Feng might possess monstrous talent, but his artifact refining skills were lacking!

If he lacked clarity even on the effects of artifact refining materials, then his artifact refining skills must also be lacking!

Nie Yu, with an expression of disdain on the viewing platform, thought that Lin Feng dared to participate in the artifact refining competition with such meager skills, truly unworthy of an unparalleled genius’s status!

Sikong Yan slightly shook his head; originally, he had thought that if Lin Feng could last until the end, he would have a chance to compete with Lin Feng in artifact refining skills, but he did not expect Lin Feng to be so inadequate, being disqualified in the first round.

The middle-aged referee reached out with a large hand, took back the Ancient Melting Rock from Lin Feng’s hand, and, seeing that Lin Feng was still standing there stunned, said again, "You’re disqualified, please step down!"

Lin Feng came back to his senses, furrowed his brows and asked, "My answer was correct, why was I disqualified?"

"Correct?"

The middle-aged referee heard this and let out a derisive laugh, saying, "The effect of Ancient Melting Rock, many of the Level Five Artifact Refiners here should be well aware of it, right? And you say your answer was correct?"

The middle-aged referee found it somewhat amusing in his heart.

Compared to the materials distributed to others, the task of identifying the effects of Ancient Melting Rock was slightly easier. Even if Lin Feng had answered incorrectly, he still insisted on arguing, claiming his answer was absolutely correct! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

That was truly laughable!

"Indeed, my answer was absolutely not wrong!"

Lin Feng said with utter confidence, believing that what was recorded in Ou Lianzi’s Artifact Refining Inheritance could not be mistaken.

An Emperor Level Artifact Refiner, whose artifact refining skills were profound beyond imagination, absolutely could not make such a low-level mistake.

The middle-aged referee was speechless. He had presided over many artifact refining competitions but had never encountered someone so shameless.

After pondering for a moment, the middle-aged referee turned his head to look at those who had passed the assessment and said, "Which one of you knows the effect of Ancient Melting Rock? Tell him the real answer."

The middle-aged referee did not reveal the real answer himself but let the others do it, to make Lin Feng truly convinced and accept it.

"Lin Feng, let me tell you the real answer."

Sikong Yan let out a light laugh, stepped forward, and spoke loudly, "The real effect of Ancient Melting Rock is to enhance the fire attribute power of Fire Attribute weapons."

Sikong Yan, born with a Fire Spirit Body, often refined Fire Attribute weapons and used Ancient Melting Rock many times, naturally knowing the effects of Ancient Melting Rock very well.

"Sikong Yan is correct!"

"That’s right, Ancient Melting Rock indeed has that effect."

"Lin Feng, when you’re wrong, you’re wrong. There’s no need to mess around and lose face!"

Many others also spoke up, all agreeing with Sikong Yan’s answer.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged referee sneered, saying, "Lin Feng, did you hear that clearly? If you continue to be unreasonable, don’t blame me for not being polite."

The middle-aged referee also knew Lin Feng’s identity, but no matter who it was, Heaven and Sea Pavilion treated everyone the same.

"Your answers are all wrong, my answer is correct."

Lin Feng spoke again, still utterly confident.

The crowd sweated profusely in their hearts, completely speechless, whether it was Sikong Yan and other Artifact Refiners participating in the competition, or the countless spectators on the viewing platform.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

On the viewing stand, Nie Yu burst out laughing, his piercing laughter spreading throughout the entire venue.

Pointing at Lin Feng, he laughed loudly, "Lin Feng, you truly have no shame! Clearly wrong, disqualified, yet you refuse to admit defeat and cause trouble, really an eye-opener for me! Ha ha ha!"

Nie Yu’s face was filled with mockery, and he hadn’t expected Lin Feng to be such a preposterous person!

Lin Feng remained composed, not bothering with Nie Yu, simply looking quietly at the middle-aged referee.

The middle-aged referee’s face darkened, a flash of anger crossing his face. He could no longer endure Lin Feng’s unreasonable behavior.

He was about to speak when Lin Feng opened his mouth once more.

"Although Ancient Melting Rock can indeed enhance the fire attribute power of Fire Attribute weapons, that is secondary. Its primary effect is to stabilize the stability of Fire Element Iron, increasing the strength of Fire Element Iron."

Lin Feng spoke calmly, continuing, "Fire Element Iron is the main material for refining Fire Attribute Weapons, so I ask everyone, do all Fire Attribute Weapons that incorporate Ancient Melting Rock use Fire Element Iron?"

Everyone who heard Lin Feng’s words was slightly startled; what he said was indeed true.

Indeed, all weapons that could use Ancient Melting Rock would indeed require Fire Element Iron during the refining process.

However, just because Fire Element Iron is used, it doesn’t mean that the role of Ancient Melting Rock is to stabilize Fire Element Iron!

Such an answer is far too far-fetched!

At this moment, an elder with a horse-like face, who had been sitting with his eyes closed as if dozing off on the judge’s seat, couldn’t help opening his eyes, revealing a contemplative look.

"Hmph! Stop quibbling!"

The middle-aged judge stood up and coldly ordered, "You’ve been eliminated and have lost the qualification to continue in the competition. Leave the arena immediately!"

The middle-aged judge wouldn’t be fooled by just a few words from Lin Feng; he immediately issued an eviction order.

Hearing this, Lin Feng sighed. Although he knew he was right, there was nothing he could do if others did not recognize it.

"I didn’t expect the artifact refiners of Heaven and Sea Pavilion to be at such a low level. In that case, I might as well not participate in this Artifact Refining Competition!"

Lin Feng shook his head and then turned to walk towards the tower gate.

He didn’t plan to stay here any longer. What Artifact Refining Competition? The judges are all half-competent, so what was there to participate in!

The middle-aged judge’s face showed a cold sneer, mocking Lin Feng for his poor temperament; having been eliminated, he even said that the level of Heaven and Sea Pavilion’s artifact refiners was poor!

Such temperament really left him speechless to the extreme.

At this moment, countless people were shaking their heads in secret, despising Lin Feng’s behavior.

What if you are an exceptional martial prodigy?

Clearly wrong, yet you dare not admit your own mistake!

Just as Lin Feng was about to reach the door of the Artifact Refining Tower, suddenly, a somewhat aged voice rang out.

"Lin Feng passes the first round."

As everyone heard these words, they were all momentarily stunned, then turned their heads in unison toward the source of the voice.

After that, everyone couldn’t help showing a look of astonishment.

Because the person who spoke was none other than that horse-faced elder who was a King-Level Upper Grade Artifact Refiner.

Lin Feng stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look at the horse-faced elder.

"Master Shan... this?" The middle-aged judge looked at the horse-faced elder, his face full of shock and uncertainty.

Could Lin Feng really be right?

Were they all wrong?

Otherwise, why would Master Shan say Lin Feng had passed?

After pondering for a while, the horse-faced elder glanced around at everyone and said, "Ancient Melting Rock indeed has the effect of stabilizing Fire Element Iron and enhancing the strength of Fire Element Iron."

Ah!

As they heard these words, everyone was left agape. There really was an effect to stabilize Fire Element Iron and enhance its strength?

However, in their understanding, Ancient Melting Rock was only known to increase the Fire Attribute power of Fire Attribute Weapons!

The crowd was puzzled. If someone else had said this, they would not have believed it.

But who was the horse-faced elder? A King-Level Upper Grade Artifact Refiner, they simply had no ground to refute him!

"This... Master Shan, Ancient Melting Rock is only known to enhance Fire Attribute power. Isn’t that common knowledge?"

The middle-aged judge looked rather displeased; as the judge presiding over the competition, having his endorsed answer overturned made him feel like he was losing face.

The horse-faced elder glanced at the middle-aged judge and said, "Xiao Zhou, this is a misconception. You usually follow artifact refining formulas to make weapons, knowing only that Ancient Melting Rock enhances Fire Attribute power but never considering why Ancient Melting Rock is always used together with Fire Element Iron."

After saying this, the horse-faced elder sighed, his gaze turning to Lin Feng, "Previously, I also didn’t take notice of this point. Today, after hearing the words of young friend Lin Feng, upon careful consideration, the function of Ancient Melting Rock is indeed to stabilize Fire Element Iron and increase the strength of Fire Element Iron."

Hearing the horse-faced elder’s words, the middle-aged judge was completely dumbfounded!

All the artifact refiners participating in the competition were dumbfounded too!

And the multitude of spectators were equally dumbfounded!

Lin Feng was actually right, everyone else was wrong, and not even the judges were as knowledgeable as Lin Feng!
