Before long, as Ye Fei’s movements became more proficient, his control over the heat also climbed a notch.
Finally, the metal materials in Ye Fei’s refining furnace had all melted into liquid.
“It seems refining isn’t that difficult after all.”
Ye Fei muttered a few words, then skillfully poured the liquid into the cold water pool.
Afterward, he began to hammer and shape it.
Ye Fei’s hammering techniques were clearly different from those of the Artifact Sect.
However, their efficiency was subtly elevated by several levels compared to the Artifact Sect’s methods.
Elder Qi could no longer maintain his composure. He quickly rushed to Ye Fei’s side to observe.
As for the stout man and the others, they all stared at Ye Fei, dumbfounded.
Even they could clearly tell that Ye Fei’s hammering techniques were far superior to those of the Artifact Sect!
This truly shocked them!
Especially Ye Fei’s performance, which was nothing like a newcomer’s!
His technique was so practiced!
It was as if he had hammered it thousands of times!
Had they all been deceived?
Was this kid playing the weak to devour the strong?
Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Bai Feng.
If this were the case, the outcome of this competition would be truly unpredictable.
As for Bai Feng, who was standing next to Ye Fei, he was originally focused on hammering the metal materials. But unfortunately, soon afterward, the clanging sounds also came from Ye Fei's side.
This caused Bai Feng to cast his gaze towards Ye Fei’s hands.
He saw Ye Fei rapidly striking the piece of metal material. What was even more astonishing was the incredible speed at which Ye Fei was working!
Moreover, he was using both hands simultaneously, wielding two refining hammers with great force, so much so that only afterimages could be seen.
This scene made Bai Feng break out in a cold sweat, and he almost dropped his refining hammer.
“No, I can’t be disturbed by him!”
“You can do it!”
Bai Feng’s head buzzed as if millions of mosquitoes were flying around, making it difficult for him to even think.
“Hang in there!”
“You cannot lose!”
After a few rounds of self-encouragement, Bai Feng finally calmed down and continued his hammering work.
But when it rains, it pours.
Just as he had settled his mind, Elder Qi once again shattered his resolve.
Especially seeing his master repeatedly praise Ye Fei, Bai Feng hated Ye Fei even more.
However, thanks to his master’s series of provocations, he was truly spurred to continue his hammering work.
Ye Fei was intending to refine a Divine Machine Crossbow.
This crossbow could be used as a concealed weapon, making it very suitable for Ye Fei.
However, the refining process for a Divine Machine Crossbow was extremely complex.
Therefore, for Ye Fei, who was still a novice, it was a formidable challenge.
But Ye Fei had always faced difficulties head-on.
Regardless of the outcome, he would do his best.
“Look, Ye Fei has started the second round of melting metal materials!”
With a splash.
The speed indeed astonished everyone present.
However, something even more astonishing happened. Ye Fei was actually multitasking, melting metal materials with one hand while continuing to hold a refining hammer and perform intricate hammering work with the other.
“Good heavens, how does he do it!”
“He’s truly a monstrous talent!”
“Alas, it seems Young Master Bai might really lose this time!”
Ye Fei blocked out all the surrounding voices.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in the art of refining.
As for Elder Qi, he too couldn’t help but look at Ye Fei with renewed admiration.
Such focus was as if he was born for refining.
Therefore, Elder Qi made a decision at this moment.
He was determined to teach Ye Fei wholeheartedly. Perhaps in the end, Ye Fei could truly bring him a tremendous surprise.
As time passed, Ye Fei had already melted all the metal materials.
Now, the basic form of the Divine Machine Crossbow had appeared.
“What is this kid trying to refine?”
“Doesn’t it look like the legendary Divine Machine Crossbow?”
“What do you guys think?”
A man with a baby face next to the stout man asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Ye Fei looked up at that person.
He didn’t expect this kid to have some insight.
“Kid, you guessed it right. I, your young master, am refining a Divine Machine Crossbow!”
“You all just wait to line up and apologize to me!”
Ye Fei said smugly.
Seeing that his guess was correct, the baby-faced man showed another expression of shock.
However, if Ye Fei could truly refine a Divine Machine Crossbow, then he would be utterly convinced!
There was only one hour left.
Ye Fei now only needed to forge nine arrows to complete his great work.
As for Bai Feng, who was beside him, he was once again influenced by Ye Fei. His mind was in a complete mess, and he couldn’t spare any thoughts to continue his work.
During a pause when Ye Fei stretched, Elder Qi’s gaze fell directly on Bai Feng.
Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead and the chaotic movements of his hands,
it was clear that Bai Feng’s mental fortitude was far inferior to Ye Fei’s.
This further solidified his previous thought.
He had to let these arrogant prodigies taste the bitterness of setbacks, so they wouldn’t be so ignorant of the world’s immensity.
Therefore, Elder Qi did not utter any words of encouragement.
Instead, he wore a look of disappointment.
This made Bai Feng feel so ashamed that he wanted to disappear into the ground.
As for the stout man and the others, they exchanged glances.
Ye Fei’s speed was astonishingly fast. In just half an hour, he had forged a full nine arrows.
The final step was the assembly of the Divine Machine Crossbow.
As a concealed weapon, the Divine Machine Crossbow was clearly very small.
This indirectly increased the difficulty of fitting the arrows.
Even a slight error in size would lead to complete failure.
Everyone, including Ye Fei, looked at Ye Fei with bated breath.
Elder Qi also widened his eyes, eager to witness the final result.
At some unknown time, a figure in dark green robes suddenly appeared beside Ye Fei and Elder Qi.
Bai Feng immediately spotted the figure that haunted his dreams.
But thinking about seeing his junior sister in such a situation, he couldn’t control his emotions.
It was too embarrassing!
As for the others, they naturally also saw this figure. However, all their attention was now focused on Ye Fei, leaving them no leisure to spare.
Therefore, after a moment of surprise, this dark green figure also followed the crowd and focused its gaze on Ye Fei.
