Chapter 618 - The Miracle in Craftsmanship
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Sikong Yan was determined to wash away his shame in the second round. He had to prove that he was stronger than Su Mo!
Ming Yu, who stood not far from Su Mo, also glimpsed at Su Mo. She had thought that her crafting skill was the best among the participants.
However, after two rounds, she changed her thoughts on Su Mo, regarding him as an opponent now.
Many others also wanted to compete with him.
This competition had no age limit. There were a few middle-aged men and old men who thought their skills had to be better than a kid.
The participants were competitive. Imperceptibly, many people had targeted Su Mo as their opponent.
Su Mo had no idea what was happening around him. He gazed at the hundred materials in front of him and kept thinking.
A hundred materials could craft various Medium Lv 5 weapons. He wanted to figure out a weapon that required the least amount of materials.
He looked through the formulas of the craftsmanship Legacy in his mind.
"There it is!"
After a short while, his eyes shone as he picked a formula.
It was called the King Kong Shield, a Medium Lv 5 defensive weapon. It needed only 21 materials, including the quenching liquid.
This was almost the minimum among Lv 5 weapons. Also, all of the required materials had been provided.
Moreover, the King Kong Shield was easier to craft than other Medium Lv 5 weapons.
In ancient times, this shield had been a popular defensive weapon because of the two traits mentioned above.
However, the crafting method was long gone.
Su Mo smiled slightly. He was certain that the crafting shield could make him rank in the top 10, or even make him the champion!
He also had the confidence to craft it in Upper quality in two hours.
Before starting to craft the shield, he went through its crafting method and formula carefully in his mind.
Swoosh!
With a wave of the arm, he threw 18 materials into the crafting furnace and started to infuse his Dark Force into the vent.
"So fast!"
The other participants were surprised to see Su Mo began to craft while they were still pondering!
"Humph! This round is not about speed!"
Sikong Yan sneered. Even if Su Mo was the first to finish crafting, he would be eliminated due to excessive use of materials.
Sikong Yan then cleared his distractions and looked through his mind to find an appropriate weapon.
Su Mo had taken the lead. He had already refined 18 materials when the others were just about to start.
He used his strong willpower to cast the materials.
He suddenly realized that he had never met any difficulty in crafting.
Perhaps he was indeed a natural-born craftsman as Ou Lianzi had said. He started to estimate his limit in crafting.
Although he had not crafted an Upper Lv 5 weapon yet, he assumed it would be easy to craft one if he paid enough attention.
He could try to craft a Lv 6 weapon after the competition. He might even be able to craft a Natal Spiritual Sword!
However, an Imperial Divine Weapon was dozens of times more difficult to craft than a Lv 5 weapon!
He needed to buy the materials for a Natal Spiritual Sword.
It took 582 materials to craft a Natal Spiritual Sword, and it wouldn't be easy to collect these materials since many of them were ancient and precious.
Soon, the solution in Su Mo's furnace had taken shape into a 1.6-meter-long, one-meter-wide shield.
Su Mo opened the lid and poured two more materials into the furnace.
One of the two materials was liquid, while the other was powder. They could both increase the weapon's strength.
Their melting point was low, and they had completely fused with the shield-shaped solution within a few seconds.
Su Mo gradually extinguished the fire and then waved his arm to open the lid.
Now, he was waiting for the core to cool down and quench it.
The crowd was confused to see Su Mo extinguish the fire.
However, they were dumbstruck when they saw it.
Everyone stared agape at Su Mo. "Is it done?"
"This may be too fast!"
Whoosh!
On the referee seats, all the Sky-sea Pavilion craftsmen stood up, including Shan Gu, the Upper Lv 6 craftsman.
"How many kinds of materials did he use?" Shan Gu's old eyes shone with keen light.
"It... It seems to be 20!" Zhao Quan murmured. He was not sure because this was too amazing!
It was impossible to craft a Medium Lv 5 weapon with 20 materials! Nobody had ever heard anything like this!
In his knowledge, it took at least 40 materials to craft a Medium Lv 5 weapon.
The craftsmen fell silent upon hearing Zhao Quan's words.
Shan Gu's eyes shone more brightly as if he had found a new continent.
If the assumption was true, then it would be a miracle in craftsmanship!
"Humph! Maybe he will come out with a Lv 4 weapon," the middle-aged judge who had held the first round snorted.
This man was Zhou Chenghua. Su Mo had humiliated him before, and he did not wish to see Su Mo shine again.
The other judge did not agree with him. Still, they thought that Su Mo's work might not live up to the required standard.
They had to wait for Su Mo to finish his work so that they could judge its grade.
There was an uproar on the spectators stand too.
"Su Mo is indeed a talent. He's the first to finish!"
"I'm wondering, how is the quality of his weapon?"
"I've been watching him. He only used 20 materials, plus the quenching liquid, it will be 21."
Several spectators were talking about Su Mo. Ordinary spectators might not have known what 21 materials meant, but the craftsmen did.
