Fifty-six people in total participated in the artifact refiner certification!
Apart from Chen Nan and Sun Yu, Cai Jian's disciple!
Everyone else had joined the Sword Forging Academy for more than half a year!
Upon hearing Dai Yuan's words!
All fifty-six people stepped forward!
Cai Jian patted his disciple Sun Yu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Perform well, and do not shame your master!"
"I am not asking you to forge a high-grade spiritual artifact, a mid-grade spiritual artifact would be enough to crush everyone!"
"Become the strongest artifact refiner among these fifty-six people!"
Sun Yu nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, master. Your disciple will definitely forge a mid-grade spiritual artifact!"
Cai Jian hummed!
Just as Chen Nan passed by him!
His expression immediately darkened!
"Chen, you truly overestimate yourself!"
"They say listen to advice and eat well, why are you ignoring my words?"
"How can a mere cook like you participate in this assessment and certification?"
At this moment!
Chen Nan's gratitude towards Cai Jian vanished completely!
He asked calmly, "Senior Cai, who says a cook cannot participate in assessment and certification?"
Cai Jian sneered, "I'd like to see what quality of spiritual artifact a cook like you can forge!"
Chen Nan ignored him!
He strode to the center of the square!
At this time, the other disciples had already begun forging!
"This fellow is also participating in the assessment and certification?" Nie Yao did not understand Chen Nan's actions. He was just a cook, and he had no master. What would he know about artifact refining?
Dai Yuan said, "You may begin!"
"Whoever forges the higher-grade weapon will win!"
"An additional reward of one hundred contribution points!"
Upon hearing about the one hundred contribution points!
Everyone's eyes shone with dazzling light!
One hundred contribution points was definitely not a small sum!
It could be exchanged for many rare ores!
"These one hundred contribution points are mine!" Chen Nan's eyes were firm. He took out a few ores and then released the Azure Flame Leaving Fire!
Although there were fifty-six people forging simultaneously!
The Azure Flame Leaving Fire was too conspicuous!
It was ranked first among mortal flames!
It was hard not to attract attention!
"Holy crap!"
"A fellow in the Earth Immortal realm actually mastered the Azure Flame Leaving Fire?"
"Is this real?"
"Incredible!"
"Although the Azure Flame Leaving Fire is a mortal flame, its terrifying power is not something an Earth Immortal realm junior can handle!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this fellow's soul power should be very strong, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to master the Azure Flame Leaving Fire!"
Chen Nan instantly became the focus of the entire venue!
Without exception!
Everyone looked at him with shock in their eyes!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, none of them would have believed that an Earth Immortal realm junior could master the Azure Flame Leaving Fire!
Nie Yao's eyes also showed a different look!
She realized that she might have underestimated this fellow!
"I never expected it to be him!"
Feng Yan's shock gradually subsided!
He had always believed that Chen Nan had a master behind him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill his two subordinates!
But he never expected that the master he imagined was Chen Nan himself!
"Chen Nan, Chen Nan, once you complete this artifact refiner certification, it will be your death date!"
"You murdered fellow disciples with conclusive evidence, no one can save you!"
A sinister light flashed in Feng Yan's eyes!
"What right does this fellow have to possess the Azure Flame Leaving Fire?" Cai Jian's heart was filled with immense rage!
After taking Sun Yu as a disciple, he had thought of helping him obtain the Azure Flame Leaving Fire!
Who knew that someone else would get there first!
If it were just that!
But it had to be Chen Nan who obtained the Azure Flame Leaving Fire!
This filled his heart with an inexplicable anger!
------
"This young fellow is quite interesting!"
Dai Yuan looked at Chen Nan with a half-smile!
"I also find him quite interesting!" Jing Tiancheng smiled. Chen Nan mastering the Azure Flame Leaving Fire was nothing to him, after all, he was a prodigy in the way of formations!
Dai Yuan withdrew his gaze and looked at his old friend, "Speak, what exactly did you come to the Sword Forging Academy for this time? Could it be for this child?"
Jing Tiancheng whispered, "He is my senior brother!"
He knew that Chen Nan wanted to keep a low profile!
However, revealing this identity to Dai Yuan was fine!
As long as he kept it to himself!
It could even bring Chen Nan many conveniences!
Dai Yuan's pupils trembled violently, "Senior brother what?"
Jing Tiancheng gave him an impatient look, "What senior brother are you talking about? Have you forgotten my profession?"
"You are a Grandmaster of Formations, apprenticed to Cao Rufeng, the State Preceptor of the Wu Kingdom!" Dai Yuan blurted out, then shivered, his eyes filled with dread, "Could this fellow be Old Cao's final disciple?"
Dai Yuan's scalp tingled!
Only a final disciple of Cao Rufeng would be qualified to be called senior brother by Jing Tiancheng!
However!
He truly found it hard to imagine!
That this young man had become Cao Rufeng's final disciple!
Cao Rufeng was the foremost Grandmaster of Formations in the immortal realm!
Although he had never formally accepted a disciple in his life!
His eight registered disciples had all become renowned Formation Masters, holding important positions in different kingdoms!
If Chen Nan was truly his final disciple, then to what extent would his attainments in formations be terrifying?
Jing Tiancheng said, "My senior brother is a person who lives a low-key life and does not want to steal the spotlight!"
"You know his identity, and that's enough!"
"Do not spread the word!"
Dai Yuan nodded solemnly, then asked, "What are your senior brother's achievements in formations?"
Jing Tiancheng thought for a moment and said, "Heaven did not give birth to Chen Nan, and the path of formations would have been eternal darkness."
Dai Yuan's scalp tingled, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Your evaluation is too high, isn't it?"
Jing Tiancheng shook his head, "No!"
"This is not my evaluation!"
"It is my master's evaluation!"
Dai Yuan was completely numb!
Jing Tiancheng giving this evaluation itself was already hard for him to accept!
Let alone the fact that this was Cao Rufeng's evaluation of Chen Nan!
One had to know that Cao Rufeng's achievements in formations were unprecedented, a supreme existence close to divinity!
For him to describe it as "Heaven did not give birth to Chen Nan, and the path of formations would have been eternal darkness"...
Was this fellow truly that terrifying in his attainments in formations?
Just then!
Nie Yao, with a tense expression, walked over!
She bowed to Dai Yuan and Cao Rufeng, and respectfully said, "Thank you, Senior Jing, for your generous assistance. I have one question: why would you help me with the formations?"
She did not believe that the院长 of the aloof Formation Academy would idle around and visit the Sword Forging Academy for no reason!
And yet, by chance, he had helped her!
Jing Tiancheng smiled, "Just consider me warm-hearted and fond of doing good deeds!"
Chen Nan had instructed him earlier!
Not to say that he helped Nie Yao because of him!
Therefore!
Without Chen Nan's permission, he could not reveal the reason for helping Nie Yao!
Clink, clink!
Just then!
A crisp knocking sound rang out!
Following the sound!
Many people were greatly surprised!
"Chen Nan seems to be succeeding!"
"How is he so fast?"
"Regardless of the quality of the weapon he forges, I declare him the fastest man in the immortal realm!"
