Weapon Master

CHAPTER 1472. Was he joking?

Even now, they could still remember how shocked they were when they saw Tang Huan put down the Spirit Color Dao Stone.

Originally, he thought that the first to finish would be one of the four people: Zhang Yiran, Sun Yingwu, Tao Yanghui and Hua Xiaoyan from the Limitless Temple. However, he didn't expect that Tang Huan, who originally thought that there was no hope, would actually make a sudden breakthrough and pass the first round of the competition in just a short fifteen minutes.

This was completely beyond everyone's imagination.

And Tang Huan's incredible speed in the first round had also caused everyone to reevaluate the rumors surrounding Tang Huan. Forging 60 pieces of Perfect Grade Dao Artifacts in a month was still a little too exaggerated, but that Tang Huan must have had the strength to forge perfect Dao Artifacts.

At this time, many people looked at Zhang Yi Ren with eyes full of sympathy.

Looking at Zhang Yi's expression, one could tell that just now, he thought that he was the first one to pass the first round of the examination, but he didn't know that Tang Huan of the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Palace was faster than him, by even a quarter of an hour. This was not a small difference, but a huge difference that even if one risked their lives, it wouldn't be able to close.

When Zhang Yi Ren removed the impurities from the Spirit Colored Dao Stone, he displayed an extremely high level of mastery over his firepower, but unfortunately, the Emperor Dragon Heavenly Palace produced a Tang Huan.

Just that, after reaching the second and third rounds, would Tang Huan still be able to take the lead?

"Tang Huan, I never thought that you would be so cunning, I have underestimated you in this round, but in the next round, the first to pass will definitely be me!"

Zhang Yi Ren suddenly came to his senses, anger flashing through his eyes.

From his point of view, Tang Huan used the most ordinary method on the surface.

But in truth, the ordinary method was just a disguise, the method Tang Huan used must be extremely complicated, if not he would not have been able to rush ahead of him and remove the impurities from the Spirit Color Dao Stone. He did not use his full strength for this round. After all, he had to leave enough firepower for the last two rounds.

If he knew that Tang Huan's method of removing the impurities was so brilliant, he would definitely go all out, and would definitely be able to increase the time needed to complete it by quite a bit.

It was a pity that he did not detect it for a while, and only then did Tang Huan succeed in deceiving him.

Of course, this was also because he did not focus all his attention to listen to the movements around the arena, thinking that Tang Huan was ahead of him by just a moment, if he knew that Tang Huan was ahead of him by an entire seven minutes, he would not have thought like that. Even if he used all his strength, it was impossible for him to shorten the time needed to separate the impurities from the Spirit Rainbow Dao Stones by another quarter of an hour.

Time passed by quickly. Hua Xiaoyan, Sun Yingwu and Tao Yanghui withdrew their Dao Flames at almost the same time, revealing the colorful Spirit Color Dao Stone in their hands.

The three of them subconsciously began to scan their surroundings.

After realizing that Zhang Yi Ren had finished, the three looked somewhat regretful, but they weren't surprised. They, especially Sun Yingwu and Tao Yanghui who were disciples of the Heaven Sect, were well aware of Zhang Yi's Tools Method strength and knew that he was not that fast. But when their eyes landed on Tang Huan, who was at the back of the competition grounds, they all revealed expressions of disbelief, just like Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi Ren was faster than them, they could understand why, but why was Tang Huan faster than them?

After a short moment, Hua Xiaoyan, Sun Yingwu, and Tao Xiaohui all looked towards Zhang Yi Ren in an attempt to find some clues from his expression. However, at this time, Zhang Yi Ren had already closed his eyes, as if he was seizing the time to restore his firepower and prepare for the second round of the competition.

The three of them were suspicious. What they wanted to know the most was whether Tang Huan passed this round before Zhang Yi Ren or after Zhang Yi Ren passed.

It was a good thing that there were countless cultivators around the arena watching.

There were so many people muttering to themselves. Although they were too far away and the sounds were noisy, they could still catch some information. However, the results of the information they had obtained caused their expressions to abruptly change, and great waves uncontrollably rose in their hearts.

Tang Huan was first, Zhang Yi Ren was second?

Wasn't this a joke?

After a long while, they finally suppressed the shock in their hearts and began to recover their firepower just like Zhang Yiren. Although not much time had passed, the amount of firepower consumed was not small. There was still about half an hour before the first round of the competition ended, so he could take this opportunity to recover a bit.

"Time's up!"

After a long while, Hong Zhong's loud voice resounded throughout the world, and Wang Shengjie once again walked to the front of the stage. All the sand in the hourglass had already leaked out, and the rustling sound suddenly stopped, "The first round of the Heaven Arts Competition is over, please put down the Spirit Color Dao Stone!"

No matter how reluctant they were, the low-rank Heaven's Arts, who were still activating the Dao flame, had no choice but to stop.

Tang Huan let out a light breath as he slowly opened his eyes. On the arena, it was filled with many different colored lights, which were bright and dazzling, some of the spirit colored stones in front of him had already become extremely bright and clear while the spirit colored stones in front of the lower tier Heaven Arts were still a bit turbid.

The reason for such a situation was that the impurities within the Dao Stone had yet to be completely removed. Only being able to complete the first round was impossible to pass.

"We will now begin our examination. Elders, please!"

After Wang Shengjie finished speaking, he gave a slight bow to the experts from the various sects on the high platform. Du Xinghe and the others also stood up and walked down the high platform. The examiners might not all be godly workers, but they all had basic eyesight.

"Qualified!"

"Not qualified!"

"Qualified!"

"..."

All sorts of voices rose and fell.

After the inspection, all the qualified ones of the Spirit Rainbow Dao Stones were left behind, and those who failed the Spirit Rainbow Dao Stones had to temporarily leave the competition grounds, waiting outside for the rewards to be given out.

Everything was done in an orderly manner. Very quickly, the inspection was over half over.

But just at this moment, there were actually more than ten figures that walked towards the back of the arena with large strides, straight in front of Tang Huan. Upon seeing this scene, many of the surrounding low-grade Heavencraft's eyes opened wide in shock. Even Zhang Yiren, Hua Xiaoyan, and the others also looked over in the blink of an eye.

Those ten people were all famous "Flowing Flower Domain" workers.

There were people like Du Xinghe from the Emperor Dragon's Heavenly Mansion, Xue Yu from the Heaven's Expanse Sect, high-grade Heavencraft from the Everlasting Temple, and even mid-grade Heavencraft from other sects.

"Greetings, seniors." Tang Huan sprung up and bowed slightly.

"No need to be so polite."

Xue Yu waved his hand, and with his fastest speed, he grabbed the Spirit Color Dao Stone in front of Tang Huan. He carefully observed it with a burning gaze, and after a long while, he sighed endlessly, "Being able to remove the impurities in the Spirit Color Dao Stone to such an extent, in truth, is something this old man has never seen before. Moreover, it only took fifteen minutes." As he spoke, Xue Yu's expression was complex as he passed the Spirit Color Dao Stone to Tian Gong who was beside him.
