Chapter 86: The Tables Have Turned Once Again. Everyone Was Suspicious Translation
Everyone racked their brains, but this was the only reason they could think of to convince themselves.
Bai Haoyu saw this and could not help but mock, “There aren’t any materials. It’s simply embarrassing to take out such an unpresentable thing.”
Wang Dazhu looked at him as if nothing had happened, “You seem to have a lot of hostility towards this little brother.”
Hearing this, Bai Haoyu’s face turned red. He did not know if he was angry or embarrassed, but when he thought of Wang Dazhu’s strength, he could only swallow his words.
Ou Yechen stared at the iron block carefully, and there was an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
Seeing that Ou Yechen was in a daze, Bai Haoyu could not help but say, “This thing is worthy of your attention? If it were me, I would feel like I’ve dirtied my eyes.”
“That’s not right.” Ou Yechen shook his head.
This action made Bai Haoyu confused. “What’s not right? I can see that you’re mumbling. What exactly are you trying to say?”
Ou Yechen did not answer him. His brows were tightly furrowed. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Ou Yezi had once written a travel diary. It recorded everything that he had seen and heard while he was forging divine artifacts and weapons. He had traveled all over the world to search for materials and recorded his experiences in forging.
However, in reality, it was more like a miscellaneous book. There were all sorts of strange things in it. In addition, there was no basis for research, so the research value was not great. Therefore, very few people in the Ou Family had seen it.
However, when Ou Yechen was bored, he once flipped through a few pages and mentioned a magical material. It looked ordinary and looked like a piece of iron, but in fact, it had a great history. It was said that it came from beyond the Heavens.
“Such a precious material only exists in legends. Even the Patriarch has never seen it. How could he have it?”
Ou Yechen thought about it and felt that he was overthinking things. His gaze once again fell on Gu Xi.
Other than this iron block, Gu Xi had added a few other materials. They were all ordinary ones. The most precious one among them was only the Cold Gold Stone. Even so, such a weapon refinement material could still be considered tattered when compared to the materials used by the other contestants.
Even if it was not compared to a wealthy contestant like Bai Haoyu, compared to the other contestants, the things that Gu Xi used were slightly shabby.
Those who originally had high hopes for Gu Xi suddenly felt a little speechless. In fact, they did not even understand what was going on. However, everyone had witnessed the huge commotion that Sword Mountain had caused just now.
“Maybe this is his special forging method. There are all sorts of wonders in the greater world.”
Even if everyone did not believe Gu Xi, they had no choice but to believe in Sword Mountain. After all, only by forging an extraordinary item could Sword Mountain resonate.
Gu Xi had fused the 10,000-year-old Sword Mountain Soul and the Nine Heavens Meteorite Sword embryo together. Due to the blackness, no one knew what he was refining.
Even the flames that Gu Xi used to refine were extremely ordinary. Perhaps because of this, the fire was unable to completely fuse these things.
The sun had set and the moon rose. The fire was still burning fiercely, but there was no change in the furnace.
Everyone’s originally expectant mood gradually became numb.
“Let’s wait a little longer. Perhaps something will happen soon.”
“Perhaps the time needed to refine an extraordinary item is a little longer. After all, it caused such a huge commotion in the Sword Mountain.”
They could not trust Gu Xi but they trusted Sword Mountain absolutely, as it was too special. Countless divine weapons were buried there, and it had never made any mistakes since ancient times.
Those who could gain its recognition were all extraordinary. It could be seen from the strange phenomenon caused by Ou Yechen and Wang Dazhu when they were refining their weapons.
With this thought in mind, everyone persisted even after such a long time had passed.
However, there was a limit to one’s patience.
There was a sliver of light from the sky, exposing Gu Xi’s smelting furnace. However, it still looked the same as before. Even when the iron block was thrown in, it was still the same as before.
The crowd suddenly became more doubtful.
“What’s going on? What is this kid doing? Could it be that he failed?”
“That’s impossible. Previously, Sword Mountain caused such a huge commotion. Logically speaking, after such a long time, he should have succeeded. Even if he didn’t, it shouldn’t be like this.”
“Perhaps the time isn’t ripe yet. Why don’t we wait a little longer?”
If it was not for the shock that Sword Mountain had given them, they would have lost their patience long ago. Even so, their attitudes changed again as time passed.
On the first day, the pile of metal did not give any reaction. Some people had already left the arena, not wanting to waste any more time.
On the second day, there were still no changes. More people left, leaving only a small number of people.
On the third day, there were few people in the arena.
Unexpectedly, Bai Haoyu, Ou Yechen, Wang Dazhu, and the others were still there.
Bai Haoyu looked at the two people beside him and asked, “Why are you still here?”
“As participants, the competition hasn’t ended yet. Naturally, we have to be here.” Ou Yechen’s answer was dignified. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.
Wang Dazhu told the truth, “I want to see what this little brother can refine.”
The weapon refining competition, which could have ended in a few days, was forcefully extended to four to five days by Gu Xi alone. The waiting made everyone lose their patience and overturned all the previous guesses.
“I think this kid doesn’t know how to refine weapons. All of it was just a bluff.”
“The reason why Sword Mountain acted strangely might be because something happened inside. It was just that this kid had good timing, so we misunderstood him.”
“He didn’t even start refining anything, so how could he resonate with Sword Mountain? Now that we think about it, we all got it wrong.”
