Chapter 1526 Divine Blacksmith Competition

1526 Divine Blacksmith Competition

"Let the competition for the Void Meteoroid Core begin!" Zi Xuan declared shortly after the three Divine Blacksmiths arrived at their workstations.

When the competition began, the three Divine Blacksmiths used their divine sense to check the materials. Each of them brought their own material, and none of them knew what the other would bring until the day of the competition. This made it so they couldn't spend half a year preparing for the competition.

Once they identified all of the materials, they sat down and closed their eyes to run simulations within their mind.

"What are they doing?" Someone who wasn't knowledgeable about the process asked out loud.

The person next to him, a renowned blacksmith, explained, "They are currently crafting the weapons in their mind. An experienced blacksmith has the ability to recreate the process of creation inside their head, and the more skillful they are, the more accurate it'll be."

"Since they're not just crafting a single weapon but seven weapons, each with a different grade, they need to allocate the materials for each weapon properly, or they might not have enough materials."

Four days later, Eternal Blacksmith was the first one to emerge from his meditation and immediately got to work. He retrieved several materials from the pile and started refining them.

"Judging by the materials he picked, he's going to start crafting an Ancient-grade treasure. It's not too easy and not too difficult—perfect for a warmup." One of the blacksmiths there explained.

Heaven and Earth Blacksmith emerged from his meditation six hours after Eternal Blacksmith and immediately went to work.

"Looks like Heaven and Earth Blacksmith plans on starting at Spirit-grade, working up the grades one by one."

Tian Qiyuan remained in meditation, seemingly unaffected and undisturbed by the noises coming from the other two.

A few hours after Heaven and Earth Blacksmith began his work, he finished his first creation, a shortbow, and placed it on a display rack with seven slots.

Heaven and Earth Blacksmith was renowned for crafting the finest bows, daggers, and gauntlets in the Nine Heavens and was expected by many to focus on creating these weapons during the competition.

"Oh! Even though it's only a Spirit-grade treasure, its aura is stronger than many Earth-grade treasures!" The audience inspected the result with their divine sense.

Heaven and Earth Blacksmith immediately proceeded to work on the second treasure, which, as someone had anticipated, appeared to be Earth-grade.

Three more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Eternal Blacksmith had just finished his first creation. It was an Ancient-grade spear.

Just like Heaven and Earth Blacksmith, Eternal Blacksmith appeared to be focused on his strengths, which were spears, swords, sabers, and anything with a similar shape.

Meanwhile, Heaven and Earth Blacksmith was already on his fourth creation at Divine-grade.
