Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 115 First
Lin Ming sat in the waiting area, quietly waiting for the results to be announced.

But some people are not so quiet.

For some reason, Xing Jianle came closer to Lin Ming again and said to him excitedly.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to be able to forge it. I've long seen that you are also a master. How is it? Are you confident in the result?"

“At this stage, who wouldn’t have confidence?”

Lin Ming chuckled and asked back.

Xing Jianle was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
"That's right, that's right, but this time the second place will definitely be mine!"

"Second? Then who do you think is first?"

Lin Ming asked in surprise.

How can anyone think that since they are second, they shouldn’t fight for the championship?
"That guy is number one."

Xing Jianle pouted at Fei Yulin who was thinking with his head down.

"Actually, the six of us came out at about the same time, and our magic tools were evaluated at the same time, so our rough ranking among the six of us has already been determined."

"He's first, I'm second. That guy has an 80% clearance rate and no flaws, so he's basically first."

"Oh? That's really powerful." Lin Ming nodded.

Being able to forge magic tools with materials that have 80% clearance and are mutually exclusive is indeed quite powerful. It seems there must be a special method involved.

"Humph! It's just a few more years of life! I'll definitely be stronger than him when I reach his age!"

Xing Jianle said with some dissatisfaction.

Obviously, Zhan Xingtian's idea of ​​having Fei Yulin attack Xing Jianle failed.

Age became Xing Jianle's breakthrough.

"Ah."

Just follow what others are saying so that you won't offend them.

Lin Ming didn't care whether Xing Jianle was right or not. He didn't want to argue with Xing Jianle, so he just went along with what he said.

This is a good way to avoid arguments with strangers.

"hey-hey."

Xing Jianle touched his nose, obviously very satisfied with Lin Ming's reaction.

The only thing he wasn't happy about was that Lin Ming hadn't asked about his clearance level. A clearance level of 79 was incredibly high! He wanted to brag about it.

Soon a staff member came over and told everyone in the waiting area that the results were about to be announced.

Soon, all nine people stood in front of the four referees.

"Then we will announce the list of those who will enter the next round."

Howard stood up and looked at them with a smile.

He is quite happy now, not only because he sees the progress of his disciples, but also because six of the contestants who passed the second round are young people in their early twenties. It seems that the future of the forging industry is bright!

"Eighth place: He Ya."

Howard said softly.

He Ya was the girl in the trio. She was a little dazed and seemed to be unable to believe that she could pass.

"Seventh place: Cai Ming, sixth place: Lai Feng, fifth place: Li Yingfa."

Soon, three more people passed.

"Fourth place: Qingming! Not bad, keep up the good work."

Howard smiled at Qingming.

"Thank you, thank you, Master."

Qingming nodded.

"Not bad! Your name hasn't been called yet, it seems you are third!" Xing Jianle smiled at Lin Ming beside him.

"Maybe." Lin Ming shrugged and said nothing more.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xing Jianle's words, Zhan Xingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and stopped Howard who wanted to continue speaking.

He took the agreed list, looked at Xing Jianle, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and said
"Third place: Xing Jianle!"

Xing Jianle was stunned for a moment, looking at his master in disbelief. Third place? How could it be possible?

Among the nine people, only two were in their thirties! One of them was already confirmed to be the sixth place! And he knew that the other one, Fei Yulin, was stronger than him.

But why is he third!
Is there anyone stronger than him? Impossible!
"Second place, Fei Yulin."

Zhan Xingtian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lin Mingdao.

"Why aren't you looking at me?"

When Lin Ming met Zhan Xingtian's eyes, his heart tightened.

Why is the second place name staring at me?
Fei Yulin also looked up in surprise, obviously not expecting that there would be someone who could forge a better magic tool than him.

Xing Jianle also raised his head and looked at his master with lifeless eyes.

Not only did he kill himself, he also killed Fei Yulin, who was stronger than himself.

Originally, he was still fantasizing that there might be someone who was similar to him, and the master ranked him above him in order to attack him.

But now it seems impossible.

"First place, Lin Ming."

Zhan Xingtian looked at Lin Ming coldly, snorted coldly and raised his head again.

I couldn't help but recall the dispute between the four of them about the ranking just now.

"The first place in this round is Lin Ming, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Lu Qian looked at the remaining three and smiled.

"I think the first place this time should be Fei Yulin. The final products of the two are similar, but Fei Yulin came out earlier than Lin Ming, so Fei Yulin should be the better one."

Ni Zhi shook his head.

"It's not true that Fei Yulin's work is good, but there's still room for improvement. I can't find any room for improvement in Lin Ming's work."

Lu Qian frowned and looked at her.

“But in terms of time.”

Ni Zhi glanced at Zhan Xingtian secretly, then immediately retorted.

He was interrupted by Zhan Xingtian just as he opened his mouth.

Zhan Xingtian stood up with almost no expression on his face.

"Forging speaks for itself with results, and this time Lin Ming is first."

Although he was unhappy that his old rival's disciple Lin Ming got the first place in this round, but forging is all about results, even if it's just a little bit different, there is still a gap.

Even in terms of time, Lin Ming actually won because there was a problem with Lin Ming's heart-protecting scales, which was a mistake made by their team.

So there is no doubt that Lin Ming wins.

"I don't believe it! I want to see the magic equipment!"

Suddenly a shout interrupted Zhan Xingtian's memories.

Xing Jianle's eyes turned slightly red and he yelled at Zhan Xingtian.

He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that a peer could beat him!

Since he started forging, he had never lost! The only ones who had defeated him were seniors who had learned forging years before him! He had never been defeated by his peers!
He firmly believed that he would be the strongest in the forging world in the future! He firmly believed that he would become the strongest blacksmith and take over the position of the master!
So he didn't believe it! He didn't believe that Lin Ming's level was higher than his!

Looking at the somewhat crazy disciple, Zhan Xingtian actually raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but it disappeared very quickly and almost no one noticed it.

Lin Ming looked at Xing Jianle with some pity.

"Alas~ This child has been immersed in his own world for too long."

After several contacts, Lin Ming roughly guessed Xing Jianle's situation.

I've never been beaten, so I feel proud.

Wow~ I was taken advantage of by this old guy!

Lin Ming looked at Zhan Xingtian.

Zhan Xingtian looked at Xing Jianle coldly and sneered.
"Okay, then I'll let you see it, so you don't say I'm unfair!"
