Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

The second match was forging.

After all, the Divine Weapon Pavilion is a weapon-refining sect.

Their most important asset is their craftsmanship.

What kind of craftsmanship is it?
Naturally, it is the skill of forging magical artifacts.

This time, five people were assigned to each forging operation, and they started forging simultaneously.

Whoever forges the most powerful magical artifact within the allotted time wins.

Therefore, there is no need to decide the order of this match.

Instead, everyone goes on stage together.

"We've got this game in the bag!"

I heard that this was a forging process.

Many of the cultivators from the upper realm smiled.

Although cultivators in the lower realm are at the same Golden Core stage as those in the upper realm.

However, because the inheritance they received was different, the two are not comparable at all.

If nothing else...

Cultivators in the upper realms have better weapon-refining traditions.

However, cultivators from the lower realms do not have this.

therefore.

Cultivators in the upper realm can easily forge third-tier magic weapons, while cultivators in the lower realm find it very difficult.

not to mention……

The cultivators from the upper realm looked at the arena and saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat dull.

This middle-aged man looks unremarkable, but he is Huang Lian, a renowned weapon refiner from the Upper Realm. Although he only has the cultivation level of the late Golden Core stage, it is said that he can already refine high-grade third-tier magic weapons.

His master was a True Self Realm Heavenly Lord, and also the most skilled Heavenly Lord in the Divine Weapon Pavilion at forging magical treasures.

Of course……

The head of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is not included in this list.

after all……

The Pavilion Master of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is someone who wants to reforge a seventh-tier magic weapon.

They have already widened the gap with these people.

"This battle..."

"Just do your best, it doesn't matter if you lose."

In fact, the cultivators from the lower realms had almost given up on this forging process.

In their view, this was never their forte.

Losing is losing, it's no big deal.

"Ok?"

"Why did Zhang Yan go up there too?"

It was at this moment that everyone noticed that after finishing his duel, Zhang Yan also went up to the forging platform, seemingly intending to forge a magical artifact as well.

"no?"

"Zhang Yan's fighting prowess is already impressive, but now you're telling me he's also a weapon refiner?" Everyone was stunned by this sight.

"Of course I'm a weapon refiner. Otherwise, why would I buy my 360-plus flying swords?"
What kind of family could afford this?!

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said this.

"..."

Upon hearing what the other person said, everyone fell silent.

if it is like this……

The other party's weapon crafting skills are quite impressive!

Because the other party has already refined more than three hundred mid-grade third-tier magic weapons.

That is to say...

The other party is very likely to be able to refine a third-grade high-quality magic weapon.

Think of this.

The cultivators from the upper realm all looked at Huang Lian.

However, Huang Lian seemed completely indifferent, his face expressionless.

"Alright, I'll now announce the rules."

"The rules are very simple: each person must create an offensive magic weapon within three days. Then, their weapons will be compared, and whoever's weapon is more powerful will win."

"The materials must be those provided by the sect."

"Start now!"

At the Heavenly Emperor's command, Zhang Yan, Huang Lian, and the others immediately began their operation.

This competition was very fair.

At the very least, everyone uses the same flames, materials, and forging furnaces.

If I had to pinpoint a difference, it would be the difference in cultivation level and the different weapon-refining methods they learned previously.

But this is not something the sect can control, so the blame cannot be placed on the sect.

"An offensive magic weapon."

"And it's just a contest of power..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yan narrowed his eyes.

There are many kinds of offensive magical artifacts, and they are all kinds of strange and varied, but under normal circumstances, flying swords are the first choice.

after all……

It's really easy to use.

"If it's just about forging flying swords, I probably can't compare to Huang Lian." Zhang Yan knew his own situation best.

Although his skill in weapon crafting was not low.

However, the upper limit is only a third-tier high-grade magic weapon.

As for the previous...

He hasn't found a suitable entry yet...

But it doesn't matter, the other side said that the main thing is to compare attack power.

If that's all there is to it, Zhang Yan felt he didn't need to create any high-level magic weapons to meet this requirement.

Think of this.

He went straight to the materials area.

have to say.

The Divine Weapon Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a sect that crafts magical treasures.

All kinds of materials are available.

The number is too numerous to mention.

Zhang Yan selected some and then began to create them.

As the forging process began, while other contestants were focusing on their crafting, Zhang Yan repeatedly shuttled between materials and forging.

Everyone was completely baffled.

I have no idea what he's up to!
"Hehe, let me show you all what a real magic weapon is." Thinking this, Zhang Yan revealed a cold smile.

He immediately immersed himself in forging the magical artifact.

in this way.

As the sun set, the first weapon refiner finally finished crafting the magical artifact.

This is a cultivator from the lower realm.

He forged a flying sword.

However, it was just a low-grade third-tier flying sword.

Even so, this flying sword is still considered one of the best among the lower-grade third-tier swords.

Plus……

He came from the lower realm and had not learned any advanced forging techniques.

Being able to forge such a magical artifact is already quite remarkable.

However, before the cultivators in the lower realms could even rejoice...

Immediately afterwards, another cultivator from the upper realm finished refining a magic weapon.

This is a mid-grade, third-tier offensive magic weapon.

But it's not a flying sword.

It is a very niche sonic weapon.

"good."

Upon seeing this magical artifact, even the referee nodded slightly.

For the younger generation to be able to create such a magical artifact is already quite remarkable.

They are very valuable for training.

As the two weapon refiners completed their crafting...

Like a signal, others followed suit and completed the task.

Unfortunately
Currently, the most powerful is still that mid-grade third-tier sonic magic weapon.

After all, everyone is refining the most common magical artifacts, while sonic artifacts are relatively rare. Under the same conditions, sonic artifacts will definitely win.

"How about this magical artifact of mine!"

That's the time.

Suddenly, a weapon refiner from the lower realm spoke up.

As he finished speaking, a flying sword was controlled and flew directly in front of the judges.

"hiss!"

"It's actually a high-grade third-tier flying sword!"

"Look at this flying sword, its blade is exquisite, the patterns are delicate, and it even has many magic arrays engraved on it. This magic weapon is of good quality!"

"Even among high-grade third-tier magic treasures, it's considered a very good item."

Upon seeing this fiery red flying sword, not only the people present but also the judges were stunned.

They hadn't expected that among the weapon refiners in this lower realm, there would actually be someone capable of forging a high-grade third-tier magic weapon.

Huang Lian is nothing special!

"Yes, that's great!"

"not bad!"

The judges were very satisfied when they saw the high-grade third-tier magic weapon and quickly asked, "What's your name?"

"Disciple, Su Junyi." Su Junyi cupped his hands to the referees, a faint smile on his face.

As a lower-realm weapon refiner who has not yet learned the weapon refining methods of the upper realm, he was able to forge a third-grade high-quality magic weapon, which is indeed something to be proud of.

Most importantly, he is not very old.

This means that the other party still has enough opportunities to learn.

If everything is normal.

It may only take a few decades for their Divine Weapon Pavilion to produce another fourth-tier weapon refiner.

Although……

A fourth-tier weapon refiner is no big deal to the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

but!

Fourth-tier weapon refiners are considered the backbone of the industry.

Fifth-tier weapon refiners are already extremely rare.

As for sixth-tier weapon refiners, that's already the pinnacle of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Not only at the top of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but even within the Human Race Dao Alliance, they belong to the very elite.

As for a seventh-tier weapon refiner?
The last seventh-tier weapon refiner was tens of thousands of years ago.

However, the current head of the Divine Weapon Pavilion is planning to try refining a seventh-order magic weapon again.

Once a seventh-tier magic weapon can be crafted...

At that time, the status of the Divine Weapon Pavilion within the Human Race Alliance will be greatly enhanced.

Even the Human Alliance wouldn't easily make things difficult for them.

after all……

Seventh-tier weapon refiner...

This is already enough to influence the future of the human race.

"A third-tier high-grade magic weapon is indeed rare, but what do you think of my magic weapon?"

It was at this moment that Huang Lian spoke up.

The magical artifact he had crafted was also completed.

At this moment, everyone quickly looked over.

But they discovered that he had actually crafted a magic weapon that looked like a stick.

"This magic weapon is called the Thousand-Pound Cudgel. It's an offensive magic weapon, ranked as a top-grade third-tier item. It doesn't have any other functions; it's just one word: immense power!"

"I abandoned all the fancy features, so its attack power is extremely strong! It has even slightly exceeded the scope of a third-tier magic weapon."

"I wonder, everyone, if my mighty cudgel can win the championship?"

As Huang Lian spoke, he sent out a bronze staff, which looked like the Thousand-Pound Staff he had mentioned.

"This……"

Everyone saw the spiritual pressure emanating from the stick in the other's hand.

I was immediately incredulous.

The opponent has indeed crafted a top-grade third-tier magic weapon, and its power even slightly exceeds the range of a third-tier magic weapon.

It's almost at the fourth-tier magic weapon level.

In that case, this competition is completely meaningless.

after all……

Third-tier cultivators are simply incapable of crafting fourth-tier magic weapons.

That is to say...

The cultivators from the upper realm won this competition.

I don't think so, do I?

Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Yan said with some dissatisfaction, "I haven't even finished refining it yet, and you already think you've won?"

"Where do you get your confidence?"

"Ok?"

Huang Lian was so angry at Zhang Yan's words that he laughed.

"how?"

"Could it be that you've even crafted a fourth-tier magic weapon?"

"If you can refine a fourth-tier magic weapon, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you three times!"

A flicker of emotion finally appeared on Huang Lian's face.

It seems.

He's not dull at all.

I was just arrogant back then.

Now that Zhang Yan had seen the magical artifact he had crafted, and instead of surrendering, Zhang Yan wanted to turn the tables, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"I really can't refine a fourth-tier magic weapon..."

"But don't forget, we're comparing offensive power!"

Zhang Yan chuckled: "So, I don't need my magic weapon to be of a higher grade than yours, I just need to have a higher attack power."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, everyone's gaze turned strange.

Normally.

Higher-level magic weapons are more powerful than lower-level ones.

This is something that no one can change.

But judging from Zhang Yan's words, it seemed he intended to use a low-level magic weapon to challenge the attack power of a high-level magic weapon.

This is not to say it's impossible.

Rather, it's almost a fantasy.

Unless it's a low-level offensive magic weapon encountering a high-level magic weapon that it counters, and that high-level magic weapon is also supportive, or for some other reason, this situation can only occur.

But now, the situation is completely different.

Huang Lian's Thousand-Pound Staff has abandoned everything else and was made entirely for offensive power.

Therefore, they could not imagine what kind of magical weapon Zhang Yan would have to create to defeat this mighty cudgel.

"Stop talking nonsense."

"We are weapon refiners, and we should rely on our strength to speak for ourselves, instead of doing things that are irrelevant."

Huang Lian frowned and looked at Zhang Yan with a smoky expression.

He really dislikes people who only talk big.

"Since you want to see..."

"Then I will do as you wish."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhang Yan simply smiled and did not refute them.

The other party is right.

Ultimately, the weapon refiner still has to rely on the magic weapon itself.

So he also revealed the magical artifacts he had crafted himself.

The magical artifact he crafted was actually quite common; it was simply a geomagnetic pole mountain.

A magical treasure as big as a small mountain.

Its function is similar to a seal, mainly relying on force to press people down.

No matter how many supernatural powers you possess, or how many changes you may encounter.

I will break it with my own strength!

Normally speaking, magic weapons of the small mountain type are considered to be quite powerful among those of the same rank.

Even flying swords cannot match this.

Because flying swords are not only powerful in attack, but also very agile.

Small mountain-shaped magical artifacts have only one ability: great attack power, but are very inflexible.

This is a common problem with this type of magical artifact.

However, if it's placed within this set of rules, then everything becomes fine.

He doesn't need to be flexible.

All you need is high power.

"But that's not right either!"

"Even if you are a small mountain-type magic weapon, it's still only a high-grade third-tier weapon. While it's considered a fine item among high-grade third-tier weapons, how can it compare to my top-grade third-tier magic weapon?"

"Even in terms of attack power, your magic weapon can't compare to mine!"

Huang Lian frowned and said to Zhang Yan.

"Haha, since Senior Brother Huang doesn't believe it, why don't we give it a try?"

Zhang Yan smiled and spoke to him.

"it is good!"

"Just try it."

Upon hearing Zhang Yan's words, Huang Lian didn't tolerate Zhang Yan's behavior and directly summoned his own Thousand-Pound Cudgel, smashing it down on Zhang Yan.

And that's about it.

Zhang Yan awakened the original magnetic pole mountain.

As he poured his magic power into it, the geomagnetic pole mountain began to grow larger and larger.

For an instant.

The original palm-sized geomagnetic pole mountain had grown to over a thousand feet in size, and then, with unparalleled power, it crashed down on the opponent.

Seeing this, Huang Lian's face darkened. (End of Chapter)
