Free Web NovelChapter 2059: Chapter 2059: Forty-Eight Inscriptions!
At this moment, several people’s expressions were very serious. Of course, by comparison, Su Chen was somewhat more relaxed.
Jun Heng was even more determined, wanting to prove himself!
He knew that, in a way, President Yao even regarded this competition among the three major guilds as his stage for display, and he could not waste this opportunity!
Therefore, in this round of artifact refining, he had to make a beautiful comeback!
He had long been aware of the details of the Tianhe Guild elder on stage; he was confident he could defeat him!
However, regarding that young man who popped out of nowhere, he was not so assured!
Of course, the main reason was the heavens-defying performance of the other party in the first round!
So much so that he inevitably had some shadow lingering.
But reason told him that the other party couldn’t be proficient in both alchemy and artifact refining like himself!
The dual excellence in inscriptions has always been his most proud matter!
The fire under each cauldron grew more vigorous, and the temperature around the platform rose sharply, giving people a suffocating feeling!
Everyone added various materials according to the weapons they were about to craft, such as some demon beast horns, some special crystal stones, or metals, etc.!
However, like alchemy, materials were not the most crucial; the key was the combination and proportion, which truly tested the level of artifact refining!
Yet this was just the first step, and this first step posed no significant difficulty for them.
After about an hour, they successively finished crafting their weapons. Jun Heng crafted a saber, while the elder and Su Chen both crafted swords!
This was normal, as sabers and swords were the most common weapons!
At this time, the audience was all holding their breath in concentration!
Because everyone knew that the critical moment was coming next!
That was the moment to engrave inscriptions on the weapons!
Not only the audience was holding their breath, but the few on stage were even more serious, each with True Yuan contained in their fingertips, carefully engraving on the weapons.
There was no sound at this moment, for fear of disturbing them.
"Elder Xi, do you think there’s hope?"
Mu Yunbai timidly whispered.
"Well, let’s just wait for the final results."
Elder Xi said, staring at the stage.
Although he had great confidence in Su Chen on the pathway of artifact refining, the other two on stage were not ordinary characters!
Therefore, he wasn’t too assured and could only wait and see.
Engraving inscriptions was a meticulous task, especially engraving on a weapon was even more so!
Particularly, it wasn’t just about engraving one inscription, but a combination of inscriptions!
Firstly, engraving these inscriptions on a limited weapon was very difficult, let alone needing to combine them for optimal compatibility to achieve a better effect, which was even harder!
But for Su Chen, it wasn’t too challenging.
He was deliberately engraving slowly now, afraid of completing it too quickly and startling everyone again!
Just right, he could also take this opportunity to think more and study more.
Gradually, about three hours passed, and Jun Heng finally stood up first.
"Elder Xin, I have completed it."
He handed the just-completed saber to Elder Xin.
"Let me have a look."
Elder Xin took it over to look, and that familiar expression appeared once more!
Besides being astonished, he was still in shock!
"Sixth level of inscriptions, twenty-four lines!"
Elder Xin muttered, not knowing if he was talking to himself or informing everyone.
However, everyone heard it, and they were all incredibly shocked!
Sixth level of inscriptions, not just that, but twenty-four lines!
Which meant, the level of the weapon crafted by Jun Heng also reached the Holy Level!
Even more terrifying was that during the previous alchemy, the elixir he refined was just Holy Level Low Grade, but now, these twenty-four Holy Level inscriptions were completely at Holy Level High Grade!
The gap was no small thing!
It meant Jun Heng’s achievements in artifact refining were even more astonishing than in the Alchemy Dao!
The reputation of the Zijin Double Excellence, indeed, is genuine!
A Jun Heng was enough to ensure the Zijin Guild’s future successors!
Faced with everyone’s shock, Yao Lou felt very gratified, deeply envying Jun Heng’s talent!
At this moment, his gaze inevitably fell on Su Chen, secretly thinking:
"I just don’t believe it, you could refine a Taoist Level weapon in artifact refining!"
Soon, the Tianhe Guild elder and Su Chen both were also done.
Elder Xin first took the sword from the elder, then nodded:
"Sixth level of inscriptions, eighteen lines."
In theory, this result was also very, very good!
Only with Jun Heng’s comparison, it seemed less shocking!
The elder was also somewhat despondent, but there was no way, who made Jun Heng so overwhelming by engraving twenty-four lines of inscriptions!
Full six more lines than him, that was not a small gap!
Twenty-four lines were almost the limit!
This Jun Heng was really extraordinary, making him feel genuine admiration!
But fortunately, there’s still Tianhe Guild, this time, this young man shouldn’t have any more surprises, right!
That was what most people thought!
Under everyone’s gaze, Elder Xin took Su Chen’s sword since the previous elixir competition was so brilliant, he was somewhat looking forward to seeing what performance this young man would bring.
Yet, at first glance, his hand trembled sharply, almost dropping the sword!
Luckily, he reacted quickly and swiftly grabbed it!
No one else made a big deal out of it, thinking Elder Xin was just careless!
Only Yao Lou and Luo Changhui and a few others felt a sudden "thump" in their hearts because they saw the shock in Elder Xin’s eyes!
Could it be, this young man had another earth-shaking move?!
Of course, Mu Yunbai noticed it too, and her heart made a skip!
"Sixth level inscriptions..."
Hearing this, Yao Lou and Luo Changhui couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief!
They were really worried that Elder Xin would announce a seventh level inscription, which would have been overwhelming!
Fortunately, it was a sixth level inscription!
However, before they completely exhaled, Elder Xin continued:
"Forty-eight lines of inscriptions!"
Suddenly, there was no sound in the place, as if it were the midnight Chaotic Grave Mound!
Everyone’s thoughts were directly vacated!
What did Elder Xin say?!
Forty-eight lines of inscriptions?!
Are you sure you weren’t just speaking nonsense due to mental disorder?!
This was even more terrifying than hearing about a seventh level inscription!
Because completing forty-eight lines of inscriptions was an utterly impossible task!
Especially achieving the optimal combination was even more impossible!
"Elder Xin, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"
Luo Changhui asked hesitantly.
Elder Xin nodded after hearing, saying:
"I counted carefully, forty-eight lines of inscriptions, not one less!"
