Chapter 1348 Desperate Situation
Soul power could soften the Nether Iron, but to truly fuse the five pieces of Nether Iron, one needed to have a certain level of martial arts foundation. Only by burning it with intense Dipper Qi flames could the Nether Iron become liquid.
Jiang Xue Lu possessed the sixth level of the Divine Martial Spirit realm, but her martial dao realm was only at the second level of Fortune, which was exactly the opposite of Xiang Nan's.
As for Xiang Nan, he was at the fifth level of the Divine Martial Arts, but at the third level of the Divine Soul realm.
As a result, Jiang Xuelu's comprehension of Nether Iron was much stronger than Xiang Nan's! However, the smelting speed was much slower than Xiang Nan's.
Normally, Xuandao cultivators only needed accuracy and speed to forge weapons. To them, three hours of training to become a Dao Weapon was no different from three days of training to become a Dao Weapon.
As long as he could guarantee success, it wouldn't matter if he cultivated for 30 days.
But in the competition, speed has become crucial.
"This is an opportunity." Xiang Nan immediately threw the Nether Iron into the smelting furnace, and then his left hand slapped the outer wall of the smelting furnace.
The Eight-eyed Snake immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged into the smelting furnace.
"I told you you were Bai Muchen, and you still want to hide it from me!" Bai Ai's eyes flashed with killing intent as she roared, "Other than Bai Muchen, who else can control such a powerful lightning power?"
He had originally mistaken the Eight-eyed Snake for Xiang Nan's lightning power, resulting in a misunderstanding.
Originally, the Veluriyam Sect Master and the others felt strange when they sensed the abnormal lightning fluctuations, but after hearing Bai Ai's anger, they dissolved the doubts in their hearts.
"So this Bai Muchen actually possesses the Lightning Meridian attribute. No wonder the Bai Clan attaches such importance to him." The Veluriyam Sect Master was thoughtful.
Bai Ai didn't know that his angry words had helped Xiang Nan greatly.
After the eight-eyed serpent devoured the five Nether Metals, it was immediately wrapped in Xiang Nan's Dipper Qi flames.
The intense pain caused the Eight-eyed Snake to feel incredibly painful. It was currently in the real world, and the pain it felt was real.
No matter how unafraid it was of death, its realm was not as high as Xiang Nan's. A Good Fortune Realm snake was burned by a Divine Martial Realm martial artist with a Divine Astral Qi flame. The result was naturally very tragic.
Of course, only Xiang Nan could hear the eight-eyed snake cursing in pain.
"Hold on." Xiang Nan thought, "Smelting snow dew is too slow. This is our chance. We still have time to correct our previous mistakes."
"Alright, I'm going to infuse the power of the Void Divine Lightning."
Xiang Nan also poured the black lightning into the furnace, entering the serpent's body and wrapping the five Nether Iron pieces around it.
The mode of the three-level furnace could refine the Nether Iron to the final fusion stage. However, a mistake had already occurred at that stage. Xiang Nan had to find a way to solve the mistake within a period of time.
During this period of time, it was the time difference between him and Xue Lu, which was faster than Xue Lu.
The process was soul-stirring. Xiang Nan didn't know if he could succeed this time, but his chances of repairing the mistake were getting smaller and smaller.
"Wrong!" The eight-eyed snake said.
Xiang Nan immediately adjusted the flames.
A few minutes later.
"Wrong again!" The big snake said.
Xiang Nan adjusted again.
In this repetitive cycle of mistakes, corrections, mistakes, and corrections, Xiang Nan's forging process continued to advance.
However, at this moment, a flame suddenly rushed over from the originally incomparably spacious smelting furnace, hitting the body of the eight-eyed serpent!
"Damn it, this little bitch is messing with me! She's attacking me!" The eight-eyed serpent roared.
Not only did Xiang Nan see it, but even the audience saw it.
On the outer wall of the giant smelting furnace, there were two bright red areas. At this moment, one of the glowing areas of Xue Lu had already flown out to attack Xiang Nan's area.
This method was extremely vile and despicable.
However, no one could blame the Bai Clan for this, because this time's forging was comparable to Xiang Nan's and White Snow Dew's forging attainments!
The two Weaponry Refiners interfered with each other and refined weapons from each other's interference. This was also a type of Weaponry Refining Achievement.
When Xiang Nan encountered Jiang Xue Lu's Astral Qi flames, he immediately became unstable.
The five Nether Metals were about to explode, and Xiang Nan was shocked.
The eight-eyed serpent roared angrily and forcefully controlled the five Nether Metals with its incomparably powerful vitality.
"Damn it, this daddy is about to die of pain. You also attacked that little bitch!" The serpent roared.
However, Xiang Nan said, "I can't do it. I don't have that much concentration anymore."
Xiang Nan wholeheartedly refined his Nether Iron, but he still made mistakes. If he divided his attention and counterattacked Xue Lu, his Nether Iron would immediately be destroyed.
However, Jiang Xue Lu, who possessed a seven-apertured exquisite body, was able to use both of them while refining Dao Weapons!
In comparison, the terrifying aspect of the Seven Apertures Exquisite Body leapt to the surface of the paper.
Jiang Xue revealed a puzzled expression. She originally thought that her sneak attack would cause Xiang Nan's forging to fail immediately, but in the end, she didn't.
Jiang Xue Lu frowned, causing the divine aura flame that interfered with Xiang Nan to intensify by another three points!
Xiang Nan wanted to forge his own weapon, and he had to adjust it according to the temperature of the Dipper Qi flames that he threw over the snow dew.
The stronger the flames that Xiang Nan threw at Xue Lu, the weaker the flames of his artifact forging would be, and they would be evenly counteracted in turn.
This increased the difficulty of Xiang Nan's forging by at least 30%!
But Xiang Nan held on! He actually didn't fail!
This caused everyone to exclaim in shock, shocked by Xiang Nan's profound dao attainments.
The crowd began to exclaim in admiration.
Bai Ai's expression was very ugly. She thought to herself, she didn't expect that sneak attacks on him would actually create his reputation.
However, it didn't matter. Anyway, this Bai Muchen would definitely fail. No matter how glorious he was now, when the moment of his failure arrived, all of the glory would disappear.
Xiang Nan continued to adjust as he continued to interfere with the snow dew.
This also greatly slowed down Xiang Nan's forging progress, almost keeping Xue Lu at the same level as before.
"Kid Xiang Nan, I'm afraid this won't work." The snake said, "Your speed is the same, but she can definitely succeed. Whether you can succeed or not is not certain."
Xiang Nan broke out in cold sweat and was forced into a desperate situation.
He knew that he would lose without a doubt.
There was no hope, not even the slightest bit!
As time went on, the progress of the refining process between the two sides was getting closer and closer to the end.
However, Xiang Nan's last mistake had yet to be fixed!
The two of them had the same forging speed. Even if Xiang Nan was a peerless genius, he would still be a second behind Jiang Xue Lu if he could encounter that mistake within a second and solve it within a second!
A second's difference was a defeat!
Moreover, it was impossible for him to fix the mistake in a second! That little bit of time wasn't enough to think about a small matter.
He had lost. This time, he had really lost.
With this thought in mind, Xiang Nan felt cold and distracted.
He saw the expressions of the onlookers and the looks of anticipation in everyone's eyes.
This was an unprecedented artifact forging competition! There had never been a time when an artificer would refine a Dao Weapon in front of everyone's eyes.
This competition had also become the only chance for all the artificers present to learn from their experience.
They're looking forward to it.
However, Xiang Nan knew that he would lose to Jiang Xuelu under the attention of countless people.
