Chapter 63
"I finally did it!"
Even though he already had a premonition, after hearing the result from Qing Ye himself, Tang Huan was still extremely excited. "Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!"
Not only that, he felt like crying as he heard the surrounding shouts.
In the depths of his memories, that youth's wish was only to cultivate true qi and fuse it with his "True Fire", becoming a mere artificer. Having watched the "Artifact Forging Competition" several times, he had once imagined himself standing on this stage one day and sweating like the rain while competing with young artificers from all over the continent.
But now, not only had his wish been fulfilled, Tang Huan had even become the chief of the "Artifact Forging Competition"!
Suddenly, Tang Huan seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes looked towards a certain place on the stage.
Although they were very far away and he couldn't see the look in that person's eyes clearly, Tang Huan could still feel the intense anger that must have appeared in those eyes.
The corner of Tang Huan's lips curled up slightly, forming a ridiculing smile. [Previous Chapter] [Table of Contents]
After Qing Ye announced the results, the gazes of the dozen or so blacksmiths around all landed on Tang Huan.
Tang Yun's pretty face was tense and her expression cold, while Sha Tu's gaze was even more so as sharp as a blade, as if he wanted to tear Tang Huan to pieces. However, even more refiners had looks of envy and jealousy that were difficult to hide.
The third place would receive a "Tiger Eye Stone", the second place would receive a "Obsidian Stone", and in the first place, not only would one need a "Tiger Eye Stone" and a "Black Obsidian Stone", one could also receive a mysterious reward from an ancient master.
As the champion of the tournament, one could imagine just how abundant the rewards were.
Moreover, the reward was secondary. The most important thing was the reputation that he would gain from it.
It was estimated that not many days would pass before everyone in the Honor Continent, and even the entire Origin Continent knew of the two words "Tang Huan" and the fact that this was an artificer of the five elements that were metal. As for the other ten people who had passed the third stage of the competition, naturally even fewer people would bring them up.
"Now, please enter the stage to receive your prizes from the top three participants and the refiners who have passed the third stage!" Qing Ye's smile was like a flower, and his voice was like a silver bell.
"Humph!"
Sha Tu snorted coldly. He swept Tang Huan with his venomous gaze, and actually turned around and left without hesitation. In his palace, where there were so many precious things, he did not come to this "refinery" for a piece of hematite and a stone of Heaven.
Tang Huan laughed out loud and walked towards the stage. Mo Ye, Tang Yun and the others looked away and also started to move.
On the high platform, there were already thirteen young men waiting there with wooden trays in their hands. Gu Yi had personally given them to them, and he had even given them to them from the back.
When Tang Huan received Gu Yi's wooden tray, he couldn't help but beam with joy.
On the wooden board, there was a blade and a sword. They were respectively the low level weapon of the first stage and the middle level weapon of the second stage. There was a flat rock that was as big as a washbasin and as dark red as fire.
In addition, there were also four gems.
A dazzling purple gem was called the "Thunder Stones"; a light black gem with a layer of spider web-like white stripes was called the "Heaven Stones"; and a gem the size of a goose's egg with a yellow dot at the center was called the "Tiger's Eye Stones". One could feel the domineering aura from it at a glance.
There was also a pitch-black object that emitted a dazzling black light. It looked like a small black hole. It seemed to be able to swallow all the light in its surroundings. It was the "Obsidian Stone."
The price of high-grade gems was over a hundred thousand each. For example, this "Tiger's Eye Stone" would cost at least two hundred thousand gems, and the "Obsidian Stone" would be nearly five hundred thousand gems.
The price of Tang Huan's reward this time was close to eight hundred thousand, and this could not even be considered to be the mysterious reward of Ancient Yi.
"Kid, well done."
Just as Tang Huan confirmed the reward with a smile, she slapped his shoulder heavily. Immediately after, a rough and hearty laughter entered her ears.
Tang Huan immediately turned around, and an armored man with a moustache and beard was standing in front of him. His eyes were filled with smiles, and standing beside him was the cute girl Tang Yun who looked like a doll.
"You are?" Tang Huan thought for a while, since this person was so close to Tang Yun, it was very possible that he was one of the Emperor of the Tang Kingdom.
"He's my uncle, Tang Zhao!" The little girl giggled.
"Tang Zhao?"
Tang Huan was shocked.
Tang Zhao was not only the younger brother of the Great Tang Emperor, he was also one of the three generals of the Origin Continent. He had led an army to fight with the Devil Clan for several years, and it was said that he was often the leader of the troops.
In addition, his title in the Great Tang Empire was named after him and was named "Reflecting King".
"Oh, so it's Your Highness, Tang Huan greets you."
Tang Huan's expression became serious, and he bowed, his tone filled with respect. His admiration wasn't because of Tang Zhao's status, but rather because of his actions.
"No need to be so polite." Tang Zhao laughed loudly. "Kid, I really like you, are you willing …?"
"Your Highness, please wait for a moment. I will give him the final reward."
He pulled Tang Huan forward a few steps, but did not mention anything about the rewards, and laughed out loud instead, "Tang Huan, in this competition, your performance is not bad, are you willing to follow me back to Heavenly Forging City, I will personally recommend you to the Pavilion Master and accept you as my last disciple?"
When he said this, the entire stage immediately quieted down.
Many of the artificers who had just received their prizes had expressions of astonishment on their faces. The Pavilion Master of the Divine Armament Hall, who was said to be a Tools Refining Great Master, Master Gu Yi actually wanted to recommend Tang Huan to the Master's disciple?
After the short period of shock, countless murderous gazes fell on Tang Huan. Only Tang Yun and Mo Ye were still relatively calm, but their eyes were also filled with unconcealable astonishment.
"Gu Yi, you've gone too far. How dare you sneak attack us like this."
Tang Zhen came to his senses and immediately looked furious. With a single step, he rushed to Gu Yi's side. His eyes were as wide as bells and spittle splashed all over Gu Yi's face.
"What is Your Highness saying? I don't understand. "
Gu Yi wiped his face and looked at Tang Zhao with a puzzled expression. When he turned to look at Tang Huan, his gaze became a little anxious, "Tang Huan, to be able to have a Tools Refining Great Master as a disciple is a great fortune. Furthermore, among all the Tools Refining Great Master, the Pavilion Master is unquestionably the best in the world!"
