The artifact-refining competition among the seven contestants had reached a white-hot stage.
Yuan Cheng had learned the properties of the Immortal Materials beforehand and had forged with them in advance. This time, there was merely one additional Immortal Material, which had little impact on him, so he was far ahead in forging speed.
Whoever forged an Immortal Artifact first would earn one point first.
Then, additional points would be awarded based on the grade of the forged shield.
In the end, the rankings would be determined by the total score.
"Bzzzt—"
When Yuan Cheng completed the final Immortal Rune on the artifact, a powerful surge of energy erupted, sweeping across the heavens as dazzling light illuminated heaven and earth.
The contestants who were forging Immortal Artifacts turned their heads to look.
The Immortal Artifact radiated special energy and light, making Yuan Cheng appear exceptionally dazzling.
"Looks like it's a High-Grade Immortal Artifact."
"To forge a High-Grade Immortal Artifact in such a short time, Yuan Cheng is truly incredible."
"Sigh, this is the gap between us. It seems I ran into a problem during the melting process. Forget forging a High-Grade Immortal Artifact—even whether I can succeed is a question."
Holding the shield, Yuan Cheng swept his gaze across the other six with an easy, proud air, his eyes filled with disdain.
What did this bunch of trash have that could compare with him?
Finishing an Immortal Artifact first earned one point, while forging a High-Grade Immortal Artifact earned three points.
That made four points in total.
Unless someone could forge a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact now and directly earn five points, no one could surpass him.
But such a thing simply did not exist.
Even a True Immortal Realm Refining Master would find it difficult to forge a Top-Grade Immortal Artifact
