C10

The playful smile on Li Chen's face pierced right into Shen Chenhao's eyes, he clenched his teeth and said: "Fine, I'll bet with you, then what if you lose?"

Li Chen fished in his pocket, hmm, there were only a few gold coins left. He then looked at Shen Chenhao's face that was full of expectation as he looked at himself, and waved his hand: "I am poor, the only valuable thing I have is that Emperor Ni Sword ? How about I bet with you? "

"Neon Phoenix Sword?" Shen Chenhao's gaze landed on the sword in Ning Caifu's hand, thinking that a beauty would like this sword, if he won, it would be a gift to her, and it would also be a disgrace to this bastard, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?! So he agreed without hesitation, "Okay! I'll compete with you! "

As soon as the words left his mouth, he could no longer retreat.

The shopkeeper saw that the two gongzis were in such a state, he anxiously tried to pull back, but Shen Chenhao held him back: "Quickly go and prepare your things! "I'll be a witness later."

The shopkeeper could only go to the kitchen with a sad face to prepare the materials and crafting furnace.

Ning Caifu, who had not made a sound until now, was not in a hurry to leave. This scene seemed to be not bad, Ning Caifu's gaze landed on the youth who was still calm and unhurried, and a curious expression flashed past his eyes.

"The competition is divided into three rounds. Everyone's materials are the same, so let's compete in the success rate. If the success rate is the same, then we'll compete in the weapon grade. Do you two have any objections?" The manager acted as the referee from the side.

"Cut the crap!" Shen Chenhao said impatiently: "Let's begin!"

The shopkeeper looked at Li Chen. Li Chen's expressionless face should also have no objections right? The shopkeeper shook his head. "Then let's begin!"

It started, Shen Chenhao immediately went into a state, regardless of how frivolous he was normally, towards equipment forging, he was always very serious, and Chen Shengfeng had only decided to accept him as a disciple because of him.

On the other side, Li Chen was still neither impatient nor anxious. Compared to Shen Chenhao being cautious as if he was facing a great enemy, Li Chen's actions were indescribably pleasing to the eyes.

How strange, she was clearly doing something serious, how could she let herself feel like he was acting cool! Ning Caifu's face suddenly turned red.

After a few days of practice, Li Chen had become more and more proficient in controlling the flames. As long as he followed his usual practice, he should not have to worry about failure.

Shen Chenhao's speed seemed to be even faster, when he finished purifying all the ingredients and was preparing to fuse with the furnace, Li Chen only had two left. As he was preparing to merge with the furnace, Shen Chenhao took the opportunity to secretly size up Li Chen, and saw Li Chen staring at the furnace in front of him without blinking.

"Hey, who do you think will win?"

Shen Chenhao and Li Chen were refining at the side, while the other young masters in traditional Chinese clothing could not sit still, and some of them started to guess leisurely.

"I think it's Young Master Shen!" Someone chimed in, "Don't you know who Young Master Shen's master is? That is the number one master refiner of the Beixuan City! "

"That may not be so!" His master was his master! The disciples are disciples, how can they be compared together? "

Some began to object.

"Exactly! This Young Master Li seems to be very skilled in his movements at such a young age. "

"..."

Everyone had different thoughts. One of the young masters said, "I bet a thousand taels on Young Master Shen to win."

From a single glance, it was clear that this person was on the same side as Mister Shen. He probably wanted to curry favor with Mister Shen, which was why he was in the limelight.

He suspected that Li Chen might have won, but if they really bet on him winning, everyone would slightly hesitate. After all, Shen Chenhao had a god-like master supporting him! And what did this Li Chen have? Wasn't it just a middle Huang grade treasure sword?

"I bet on that Young Master Li's victory!"

A clear and gentle voice sounded out as a pair of jade-white hands gently put down the thousand taels of silver in their hands. It was as if the thousand taels of silver were nothing more than a few worthless stones.

Everyone looked at Ning Caifu, only to see that the girl's gentle face did not have a single trace of hesitation, her gaze was focused on the two people participating, as though the one who spoke was not her.

Actually, Ning Caifu was also very nervous in her heart. It was her first time participating in such a thing like betting, but she didn't know why, but when she saw that no one was betting on the youth, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she decided to bet on him. Looking at Li Chen's serious expression, Ning Caifu thought in her heart: I have to win! If he lost! She must have told him to look good!

The young lady's thoughts were naturally unknown to Li Chen, as the first round of the competition had already come to an end. Li Chen turned to look at Shen Chenhao, only to see Shen Chenhao revealing a faint smile, he could not help but chuckle, the spiritual strength in his hand did not change, and continued to focus on his own furnace.

Almost done!

Shen Chenhao's face was extremely excited, the spectators could tell that he was a little different, immediately, some people started to talk sarcastically.

"I'm afraid Miss Ning has made a mistake this time!" Look, Young Master Shen is about to be released... "It's such a pity that Miss Ning Ning got a thousand taels ?"

Ning Caifu frowned slightly, "Victory and defeat have not been determined yet!" However, her fingers that were twisting the handkerchief betrayed the nervousness in her heart.

It was out!

"Bang!"

The furnace released a loud sound, and everyone saw an ancient sword floating out from Shen Chenhao's furnace.

"It's a low-grade yellow-rank sword!"

Although it was a low-grade Yellow Rank pill, at least it did not fail. Shen Chenhao wiped the sweat off his forehead and continued to look at Li Chen smugly, waiting for his crafting furnace to explode.

But unfortunately, Shen Chenhao was bound to be disappointed.

Li Chen's crafting furnace suddenly released a loud "Boom", following that, a sword also floated at the mouth of the furnace.

"It's also a low-grade yellow-rank sword!"

Shen Chenhao's smile froze on his face.

"In the first match, the two of them are tied." Looking at the two low-grade yellow-rank swords, the shopkeeper's eyes almost narrowed into slits from his laughter!

"Humph!" "I'll count you as lucky!" Shen Chenhao sarcastically said.

However, Li Chen was not willing to waste words with him, and directly said to the shopkeeper: "Let's begin the second round!"

Shen Chenhao's face became somewhat pale.

Although it was a very simple refining material, his success rate was not very high. He thought that this brat would lose the first round, but he had actually won a round by a fluke. It was only the second round after all! Let's see how much luck you have left.

"He actually refined a low-grade yellow-rank sword!" I never thought that this kid actually has some skill! "

The well-dressed young master commented on this.

A hint of gentleness appeared in Ning Caifu's eyes. Fortunately, he did not disappoint her, if this guy lost, even if one thousand silvers was a small sum, she would have lost a lot of face.

Li Chen frowned. This second round was indeed a little difficult, and it was obvious that it would be quite troublesome for him to watch Shen Chenhao refine the Profound Star Iron again.

The first round of the trial was indeed not difficult, but there was actually an extremely troublesome existence in the second round.

Fortunately, he was lucky. Even at the late stage of fusion, the furnace did not have any special reactions, which Shen Chenhao could only describe as ecstasy. He seemed to be able to see that kid apologizing to him, or perhaps, Miss Ning's admiration for him was like an unending torrent.

"Bang!"

It worked!

A burst of exclamations came from the surrounding people.

"Even the middle Huang grade sword was refined!"

"Master Chen's disciple is indeed capable!"

"Exactly! Those nameless brats who had come out of nowhere to make a fool out of themselves! What a disgrace! "

"..."

Ning Caifu's heart seemed to be tightly held by someone, she stared intently at Li Chen's subordinates' movements, afraid that if she did not pay attention, Li Chen would explode, and all her efforts would fall apart!

The rumors outside did not affect Li Chen's movements in the slightest, it was almost a success! Li Chen's face finally revealed a hint of a smile.

"Bang!"

It was also a middle Huang grade treasure sword. Everyone was shocked speechless.

"How is this possible ?"

Some people stuttered in shock.

"Brother Zhang, hurry up and pinch me!" I'm not doing this... Aiyo! "What are you trying so hard for?"

"I also want to know if I'm dreaming. A middle Huang grade sword, said to have succeeded! This kid is too godly! "

The shopkeeper hastily took a look at the two swords and announced, "The second match is still a draw. Both of them are middle Huang grade ?" Without waiting for Shen Chenhao to speak, the shopkeeper continued: "Let the third round begin!"

Shen Chenhao's heart suddenly felt as if there was a thousand kilograms of weight on it. He tightly clenched his fist, according to the rules, they would have to refine a sword with Yellow Ranked high order in this third round. Yellow Ranked high order, his success rate was simply too low, even the middle stage sword refinement method counted as his luck today. That brat ? Shen Chenhao raised his head and looked at the handsome youth.

Not long after the third round began, Shen Chenhao knew that he was going to lose.

Sure enough, with a loud bang, green smoke came out of Shen Chenhao's furnace. He had failed, and Shen Chenhao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot as he looked at Li Chen.

Shen Chenhao had failed, no one spoke a word, they were all nervously staring at Li Chen.

Li Chen seemed to be completely immersed in the world of artifact forging, and even the sound of Shen Chenhao's explosion did not seem to be able to disturb him.

Ning Caifu's eyes instantly turned bright and clear when Shen Chenhao's furnace exploded. There was hope!

Shen Chenhao's face was gloomy and dripping with water, he stared intently at Li Chen's boiler, if possible, he even wished to be able to see if he could create a hole in Li Chen's furnace!

Unfortunately, Li Chen was destined to be disappointed.

The forging was a success!

Just now, he thought he would follow in Shen Chenhao's footsteps after the explosion. Obviously, the heavens had treated him well, he had successfully completed the fusion.

"Crack!"

Compared to the normal sounds of forging, Li Chen's furnace was actually releasing a slight cracking sound, followed by a shining green sword flying out of the furnace!

"Good heavens! He actually succeeded! "

Shouts and exclamations immediately rang out.

Just a moment ago, he was still thinking that if Li Chen were to fail, even if the two of them could go along with it, it wouldn't be too embarrassing. The moment Li Chen succeeded in refining, it was as if his entire body had been drained of energy.

"I've lost ?"
