Chapter 14 - Cold Jade Stone

Tang Huan subconsciously wanted to take it, but before he could even stretch his hand out, the ball of white light suddenly stopped in front of him, and then slowly floated down like a feather, landing right in his palm.

Tang Huan looked at Qing Ye in shock. This Pavilion Master's control of the Genuine Qi was superb, he did not know what her cultivation level was.

However, Tang Huan was not in the mood to pay attention to this. A bone chilling aura completely attracted his attention. At this time, in his palm was a white stone the size of an egg. It was round like a pebble, sparkling like jade as it continuously emitted white light.

Holding this "Cold Jade Stone" in his palm felt like holding an ice ball, but the chill it emitted far surpassed any ice and snow that Tang Huan had ever seen before.

"Everyone, the time starts now!"

The melodious voice that sounded like the chirping of an oriole was suddenly heard.

Almost at the same time, a white jade plate flew out from Qing Ye's wooden box and gracefully landed in front of the six people. This was used to store the juice of the Cold Jade Stone.

The old man and the others immediately gathered their thoughts and started moving.

Tang Huan also took a deep breath, and suddenly placed the "Cold Jade Stone" between his palms. With a slight thought, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" began to revolve within the Dantian. In an instant, the ball of True Fire began to undulate intensely, and then, two thick streams of heat separated from the flames and seeped out of the cauldron. In an instant, under the guidance of the Genuine Qi, they followed the Spiritual Meridian and arrived at Tang Huan's two palms.

"Hu!"

The instant the two streams of heat drilled out of his palms, they turned into scorching flames, covering the "Cold Jade Stone" and even the two palms. The incomparably hot aura immediately diffused and the surrounding temperature actually greatly increased.

Both of his hands were bathed in fire. Tang Huan only felt warmth but it was no longer as scorching as it was when he was fusing with the True Fire.

"Huh?"

A few meters away, Qing Ye couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice as surprise flashed past the depths of her beautiful eyes.

The six of them moved almost at the same time, and of the other five, one of them only produced a small ball of sparks, while the other four did not even have a spark. However, this young man not only produced flames from his palms, the flames were so strong that they covered both of his palms.

"The speed at which he used the True Fire was actually this fast?"

Qing Ye's mind was slightly moved, and with a voice that only she could hear, she started muttering. The interest in the depths of her beautiful eyes suddenly became denser.

The heat from the surroundings immediately woke the five people who were using True Fire.

"So fast!"

When she saw the big ball of flame in Tang Huan's palm, she couldn't help but let out a cry of shock. Her pair of black eyes instantly opened wide, and her small, dark red mouth seemed to be able to stuff down an egg.

When the old man, young woman, youth, and youth who were further away saw this scene, they were also shocked speechless.

"Humph!"

A light cough roused several people from their stupor. The corner of Qing Ye's lips curled up as she softly said, "Everyone, don't forget, this first round of examination only has four hours!"

A few of them woke up from their stupor and quickly withdrew their gazes.

This exam only had a short duration of four hours. Even the slightest bit of waste could cause the exam to fail.

"Ah, my fire is out!"

The young girl in the red dress let out a soft cry. Her pretty face was filled with regret. The absent-mindedness from before had completely annihilated the small cluster of sparks in her palm. She had no choice but to start over.

Tang Huan slowly closed his eyes, his mind completely focused.

Inside the Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" was spinning at a fast speed and Tang Huan had already pushed the ball of True Fire to the limit. Two thick and intense heat streams continuously overflowed from the cauldron and quickly poured into his palms. That lump of flame gradually expanded and quickly became as big as a washbasin.

"Hmm?"

Qing Ye's gaze roamed about, the curiosity in the depths of her beautiful eyes having been replaced by surprise.

Not only was this guy activating the True Fire at a speed that far exceeded ordinary people, the flames he produced, could actually reach such a level? You have to know that he is not even a low level Weapon Refiner yet, but looking at the degree of intensity of the flames, he has completely reached the level of a middle level Weapon Refiner.

That little girl from the Heavenly Forging City was known as the genius artificer who had exceptional aptitude and only appeared once in a millennium. However, when she participated in the lower level Weapon Refiner's assessment a few years ago, the flames she ignited were only at this level, right? Could it be that this brat was also a peerless genius that was on par with her?

In the next moment, Qing Ye looked at the ball of flame again, at the center of the flame, was a white color, and not the same red as the surrounding area.

"No, this, this!"

In the next moment, her mind was greatly shaken. If she had not promptly covered her red lips, she might have been unable to restrain herself from shouting out loud. However, even though she had suppressed the sound of it rushing to her throat, shock and disbelief uncontrollably surfaced in her black and beautiful eyes.

The white flame was not obvious, but it could not be hidden from her eyes.

"It actually has a physique that belongs to the Five Elements attribute!"

Qing Ye opened her beautiful eyes wide, a raging wave had already begun to rise in her chest, and her heart had become white. There was only almost only one possibility, and that was that she had been affected by her physique.

As a Weapon Refiner, she was very clear about what this physique meant.

For Martial Warriors with this kind of physique, wanting to fuse with a "True Fire" was beyond imagination, moreover, during the process of fusing with a "True Fire", the pain that Martial Warriors would have to endure was similarly beyond imagination, at least several times, maybe even more than a dozen times the pain of a Martial Warriors with a fire attribute.

If it was a Martial Warriors with powerful strength, they could still use the Genuine Qi to resist the burning of the "True Fire." However, if they wanted to become a Weapon Refiner, they had to successfully fuse the "True Fire" when they were in the Martial Disciple. Once the Spiritual Wheel condensed and produced the Spiritual Wheel, there was no possibility of them ever becoming a Weapon Refiner again.

It was because of this that Weapon Refiner was so rare.

Moreover, fusing with a "True Fire" was not something that could be done overnight.

Even a fire attribute Martial Warriors like her, when she first fused with the "True Fire", was burnt to death by the intense heat, let alone a metal attribute Martial Warriors like her. Even if it was her, she would still have lingering fears when she thought back to that scene. She would never want to try it a second time.

However, he didn't expect that the kid in front of him would actually succeed.

From what she knew, the fastest person to fuse True Fire s should be the little girl from Heavenly Forging City.

Even if this brat's speed was fast, it was already good that he was on par with the little girl. It was almost impossible for him to surpass her.

For such a long period of time, who knew if this brat had endured such pain. For a normal metal attribute Martial Warriors, they would not even be able to endure a minute, and their consciousness would be muddled.

Once they lost consciousness, they wouldn't be too far away from death.

"Drip!"

The drop of liquid collided against the jade plate and emitted a clear sound. Although it was slight, it appeared unusually ear-piercing in this quiet second floor where one could hear a pin drop.

Qing Ye was suddenly jolted awake and when she looked closely, she saw that the "Cold Jade Stone" in Tang Huan's palm had already melted and droplets of liquid had begun to drip onto the plate below him.

"This kid is probably the first Golden Weapon Refiner in the Glory Continent. I've never heard of a Weapon Refiner with another Five Elements belonging to a gold attribute appearing in at least a few hundred years."

Qing Ye put down her small hands that were covering her red lips, and took a deep breath.

But immediately after, the corner of Qing Ye's mouth raised into a strange smile.

She had lived for more than twenty years, and the most talented genius blacksmith she had ever seen was the little girl in Heavenly Forging City. Among the "Fire Shadow Tatoo" of Heavenly Forging City, the totem flames she ignited were up to twelve meters tall, reaching the limits of "Fire Shadow Tatoo".

But now, there was likely going to be another weapons crafting genius like her.

Not only was it able to activate a strong flame that was comparable to a middle stage Weapon Refiner, it was also able to unleash a physique that belonged to the attribute of Five Elements. If the little girl from Heavenly Forging City knew about this, who knows how much of a shock he would receive.

However, this brat was just about to take the examination for a low level Weapon Refiner, which meant that he had just started on the road of artifact forging, while that little girl was already far ahead. If this brat wanted to reach her level, he still had a long way to go.

"Drip!" Drip drip.

The crisp sound continued to ring out, and the five people beside him were soon alarmed again.

The young lady in the red dress could not help but turn her head, and upon seeing the drop of white liquid on the jade plate in front of Tang Huan, she was once again shocked, but before she could even exclaim in shock, she shouted "Aiya!"

With a sigh of relief, the young girl in the red dress didn't dare to look any further. However, she couldn't conceal the astonishment in her eyes.

In less than a quarter of an hour, that fellow's' Cold Jade Stone 'had already begun to melt. This speed was simply too fast!

The four people who were further away from Tang Huan were also staring blankly.

However, they were also like the girl in the red dress, not daring to look more, nor did they dare to carefully observe Tang Huan's situation, lest they lose their minds, and cause the flames to extinguish, causing them to have to start over again.

Suppressing the shock in their hearts, they continued to refine their 'Cold Jade Stone'.

"Drip!" Drip drip.

The sound of the droplets hitting the jade plate gradually became more urgent. At the start, there was a time interval of several breaths between every two notes. But the further it went, the shorter the time interval was. In the end, the sounds were almost continuous, and they also became increasingly loud.

The more the old man and the others didn't want to hear, the clearer the voice became.

Just by hearing the voice, they were able to determine that the "Cold Jade Stone s" in that fellow's palm were melting faster and faster. This caused them to be slightly annoyed and the flame in their palms flickered between strong and weak. On the contrary, it was the youngest girl who was the least disturbed.

After a long while, a droplet of liquid finally fell from her palm.

"Drip!"

After another clear bird's cry, Tang Huan suddenly opened his eyes and opened his palm. He saw that there was no longer any traces of the "Cold Jade Stone" within the raging flames, but rather, there was an additional small puddle of viscous white liquid on the white jade plate below his palm.

"I'm done!"

Tang Huan could not help but reveal a look of pleasant surprise on his face. In a second, the flame in his hand disappeared, and then he subconsciously looked to the side. The young lady in the red dress had already placed a few drops of liquid on her plate, and the four in the distance still had nothing.
