C337 Opening ceremony

Long Yan was a little taller than him, and when he spoke, he slightly lowered his head, and practically moved close to Feng Zhi's ear. Those words that were filled with love, yet did not care about face, also entered Feng Zhi's ears.

Feng Zhi had known that Long Yan's voice was very pleasant to hear in the past, but it was also only now that she had a deeper understanding of his words.

Feng Zhi had always thought that those words were just an exaggeration, but it was only now that she realized that sometimes, a person's voice would really make people feel that way.

Sensing that his ears had become slightly hot because of Long Yan's aura, Feng Zhi could not help but raise her hand to cover his ears. She then tilted her head to look at Long Yan, "Long Yan, what should we do?

At first, Long Yan did not hear what Feng Zhi said clearly, but she did hear the word "pregnant" clearly.

His throat unavoidably tightened up, but she quickly understood what Feng Zhi meant.

Because of his own reaction, he couldn't help but laugh a little. Long Yan then embraced Feng Zhi in her embrace, and imprinted a light kiss on her hair, "Feng Zhi, don't be naughty."

Feng Zhi raised her head and smiled at him.

Whether it was their appearance or temperament, they were undoubtedly extremely compatible. With such a smile on their faces, even if someone had nothing to do with it, they would still feel the warmth between them.

Thus, those little girls who had sneakily glanced at Long Yan initially all had expressions of disappointment on their faces.

Feng Zhi blinked her eyes at Tang Ning complacently.

Tang Ning laughed as she shook her head.

As for Feng Lai and the others …

Heh heh, will they say that they have long gotten used to their actions of stuffing others with dog food if they don't like each other?

His gaze shifted back to the large plaza.

The place where everyone was seated was a tall platform built around the square to let the audience watch the competition. If one had a good eyesight, they could clearly see the scene below the stage.

The Tang Clan's Refiners' Competition was extremely famous. As it was a competition that catered to all of the Profound Martial Continent, as long as one met the requirements, they would be able to register and participate.

And the only requirement was the age of the refiners. The age of the refiners participating must be below thirty.

Mo Li, Tang Qi, and the Tang Clan's teens would be able to make it in time for another competition ten years later.

But even with the age restriction, there were still tens of thousands of refiners who successfully registered in the end.

Aside from the 10 places that the Tang Clan could take out that would directly enter the top 100, everyone else would need to go through a few rounds of screening in the plaza. Only when a thousand people were selected would the competition officially begin.

From today onwards, three days in a row, the plaza was filled with these sorts of selections.

The first round of selections wasn't that difficult, and to those who weren't proficient in it, it was extremely boring. Therefore, the number of spectators today wasn't many, and in the selection competition, the Tang Clan would control the number of seats on the high stage to restrict people from entering.

It was not because the Tang Clan intentionally set a threshold, but because if there was no limit to the number of spectators, then no matter how big the plaza was, no matter how many seats there were in the surrounding area, it would not be enough to accommodate everyone from Clear Sky City.

Feng Zhi and the rest joked for a while before placing their focus on the center of the plaza.

The square was huge, but it was packed to the brim with more than ten thousand people.

At this time, there was a row of about a hundred long tables on the plaza. On the tables were all kinds of ores used for refining weapons. These ores had all kinds of shapes and colors.

Seeing these ores, the young refiners participating in the competition were all guessing in their hearts what question the Tang Clan would come up with for this round.

Right at this moment, the Great Elder of the Tang Clan, Tang Tian Jue, took two steps forward on the stage right in front of him.

The originally noisy square and the people in the surrounding stands immediately quietened down.

Tang Tian Jue also did not use any equipment that could increase the volume. Instead, he casually said, "Everyone, we have an appointment with Tang Tian. On behalf of Tang Tian, we welcome everyone to participate in the Refiner's Competition …"

Although Tang Tian Jue's voice was not loud, every single word was clearly heard by everyone.

This move alone was enough to intimidate people with different thoughts.

There were more than ten thousand people in the plaza, and there were at least ten thousand people in the surrounding area. There were so many people, and they just silently looked at Tang Tian Jue, waiting for him to continue speaking.

In the three days starting from today, there will be three rounds of selections, and only those who have passed all will obtain the qualification to enter the final thousand. If the number of people who have passed the selection exceeds one thousand, then according to the results of the first three rounds, you will be placed in the top thousand.

No one said anything.

After pausing for a moment, Tang Tian Jue continued, "Since no one has any objections, then this old man will announce the official start of this year's Refiners' Competition."

"The first round of screening is about to begin. Please line up according to the number plate you received at the time of registration …"

The Tang Clan has prepared a thousand kinds of refining materials, and when everyone is tested, the examiners will randomly choose fifty of them. Each refiner needs a good name, characteristics, uses, and treatment of these materials, and if they fail, they will be eliminated.

After hearing the rules, the ten thousand refiners couldn't help but start conversing in low voices.

These rules were not harsh at all.

An understanding of the materials was the fundamental skill of every refiner. If one did not even know the specific uses of the materials, how would one even need to refine them?

However, there were common and rare materials. There were some materials that a normal refiner would never see again in their entire lives.

Thus, from this thousand different materials, he randomly chose fifty different types of materials for the participants to identify. If he was unlucky and managed to obtain a material that he didn't understand, it would be a great pity.

Of course, no one had any objections to this sort of selection method that relied on luck.

After all, luck was also a person's strength.

After Tang Tian Jue spoke, the first round of screening officially began.

Roughly five meters in front of the platform that was piled with a thousand different materials, there was a curtain hanging down. The first refiner was called inside the curtain and he was called to participate in his own assessment …

Fifty different materials needed to be written down. In order to increase the difficulty, everyone only had a quarter of an hour to write down all the characteristics of this material.

If it were not for the fact that martial artists were quick to move their hands and feet, perhaps this alone would have been enough to kill a large number of people.
