Time passes bit by bit.

In mid-air, Ji Li, who had been floating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. The silver long sword swayed gently in his palm, the sword trembled slightly and let out a clear dragon roar.

Refining completed!

As the first person in the audience to complete the refining, Ji Li did not choose to rest, and did not even look at the ordinary students who were still fighting for low-grade magic weapons.

His eyes greedily scanned the entire scene, finally locking on something not far away.

At present, all the high-grade magic weapons have their names, and are either being refined by strong men, or are in the midst of fierce competition. The scene is in chaos, and Spell Arts is flying around.

"One piece is not enough."

Ji Li raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand again, and grabbed the void.

"Come!"

Buzz!

Not far away, a girl wearing an emerald green skirt was sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding an antique bronze mirror tightly with both hands, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. It was obvious that she had reached a critical moment of refining.

This girl's name is Jiang Yingqiao, a third-year wood genius, who just single-handedly defeated a competitor who wanted to steal the bronze mirror.

At this moment, an invisible Magnetic Force suddenly descended.

The bronze mirror in her hand seemed to have a consciousness of its own, shaking violently, and even erupted with a counter-shock force, almost flying out of her hand!

"Want to steal my stuff?"

Jiang Yingqiao Although he was frightened, he gave a sweet shout.

Countless green vines flew out of her sleeves in an instant, not only wrapping herself in layers, but also tightly entwining the bronze mirror in her arms, as if it had taken root.

The wood spiritual power was injected crazily, and it was able to resist the magnetic attraction.

"Huh? It's interesting."

When Ji Li saw that the attack failed, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. This Jiang Yingqiao's toughness is quite good.

But it only has some meaning.

He didn't insist on it. After all, time was precious and there was no need to waste too much energy on a difficult bone.

Turning his eyes, he locked eyes with a boy who was refining a golden bell.

Brush!

Ji Li's body flashed and appeared directly above the man's head, Magnetic Gravity Seal pressed down hard.

After just over ten strokes.

The boy vomited blood, looked at the big clock in his hand that had lost its spirituality, and then glanced at the demon-like Ji Li, with a trace of despair and determination flashing in his eyes.

"Here you go! I don't want it anymore!"

Knowing that he was outmatched, he quickly cut off the spiritual power connection, dropped the big clock, turned around and ran towards the Mid-Grade Magical Artifact area in the distance that had not yet been robbed.

As long as the green hills remain, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood.

If we continue to entangle and are seriously injured by Ji Li, then it will really be over.

Ji Li reached out to catch the big clock, smiled with satisfaction, turned around and started looking for the next prey.

the other side.

"Huh..."

Chu Bai took a long breath, and the red ring under his feet finally stabilized completely, establishing a vague connection with his mind.

Fire Element Ring, refining completed!

He looked back behind him, and Wu Jianfei, who was supposed to be chasing after him, had long since disappeared.

"Brother Wu, don't chase me anymore, this thing already belongs to me!"

Chu Bai gave a low drink, and the sound was carried far away with the blessing of spiritual power.

However there was no response.

It turns out that when Wu Jianfei saw that Chu Bai's speed had skyrocketed and the refining progress was rapid, he knew that pursuing it would be in vain. Instead, he would miss other opportunities because of his stubborn fight with Chu Bai.

So the strong man made a decisive U-turn as early as halfway and went to snatch another unowned high-grade fire hammer.

"It's better to know the current situation."

Chu Bai withdrew his gaze and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he stood on a high ground and scanned the whole place with his eyes like lightning.

The rule of the first round is that the person in control gets it, and there is no limit to each person taking one piece.

As long as you have the skills, no one will care about you even if you steal all the high-grade magic weapons in the room.

"Although there are many people competing for high-grade magic weapons nowadays, as time goes by, many people know that they are not strong enough and settle for the second best. They have begun to refine those Mid-Grade Magical Artifact that no one cares about."

"There are still some battle situations that have become clear, and the strong and weak have been divided."

Chu Bai glanced into the distance.

The earth-type treasure armor that he had previously admired was now being besieged and fought for by three people. Among them, the fierce man who beat two like a madman was none other than Lü Qing.

"I don't plan to get involved with Senior Brother Lu. This treasure armor probably belongs to him."

Chu Bai's eyes wandered, and soon, his sight settled on a low-lying area on the left side of Wasteland.

There is a small bronze cauldron there that is only about the size of a palm. It exudes a simple and heavy atmosphere. At first glance, it looks like a high-quality magical instrument.

But at this moment, the two people competing for the small cauldron fell into an extremely embarrassing stalemate.

These two people are of equal strength, one is water type and the other is earth type.

The two of them fought back and forth for a long time, but no one could do anything to the other. The ownership of the small tripod kept changing hands, being swept away by the current and intercepted by Earth Wall.

This resulted in both of them being unable to refining with peace of mind, and the restrictions on the small cauldron were still intact.

"Snipe and clam fighting?"

Chu Bai A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Then let me be the fisherman."

Boom!

Fire Element Ring Flames spurted out from under his feet, and Chu Bai's whole body turned into a red stream of light. With the help of terrifying speed, he rushed straight towards the battle circle like an eagle fighting a rabbit.

In the low-lying areas, the war is raging.

The two monks who were fighting for the small bronze cauldron were fighting fiercely when they suddenly felt a wave of scorching air blowing towards their faces.

Turning around, they saw a red stream of light rushing straight towards the ground like a meteorite falling to the ground. The undisguised determination to win made their hearts skip a beat.

"Isn't it enough to get a high-grade magic weapon? You actually come to participate in the war?!"

The face of the water cultivator among them changed. He had consumed more than half of his spiritual power at this moment, and his body was also stained. It was already very difficult to deal with the opponent in front of him. If such a ruthless character comes to disrupt the situation again, Xiaoding may be completely out of luck.

"Kill him first!"

The two looked at each other and instantly reached a tacit understanding.

Spell Arts, who were still attacking each other, suddenly changed their directions at this moment.

A waterspout roared out, blocking the upper road; several sharp ground thorns rose from the ground, blocking the lower road. The two offensives, the upper and lower, coordinated perfectly, obviously trying to stop Chu Bai's momentum.

"It's a tacit understanding."

Facing this oncoming attack, Chu Bai's eyes were calm, and instead of slowing down, the speed of his feet increased again.

He did not choose to gather "Origin Guard Shield" to resist, because that would inevitably cause frustration. Once he stopped and got into a fight, it would be troublesome.

"Then... break in forcefully!"

Chu Bai's body was slightly sideways, and he was like a fish swimming through the gap between the two Spell Arts.

Phew! Phew!

Although he avoided the vital point, the sharp water blade and ground thorn still grazed his shoulders and thighs, bringing up two puffs of blood.

"Hit!"

The two monks were overjoyed.

However, the next moment, their smiles froze on their faces.

I saw a few blue-gray marks on Chu Bai's body flashing slightly, and those hideous-looking wounds stopped bleeding and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. His speed was not even affected in the slightest!

"What the hell?!"

Just when the two of them were stunned, Chu Bai was approaching.

Swish, brush, brush!

Hundreds of azure blue Spirit Water Needle appeared out of thin air and spread out like a peacock spreading its tail. With a scalp-numbing scream, it enveloped the two people from all directions.

"Defense!"

The two of them were shocked and quickly put up their shields.

But the overwhelming Spirit Water Needle rain is just a false move.

The moment their vision was obscured by the water in the sky, the figure of Chu Bai approached them like a ghost.

"I'm offended!"

Chu Bai gave a low drink, and Fire Element Ring glowed brightly on his legs.

Bang! Bang!

Two dull explosions.

Chu Bai's body made a graceful turn in the air, and his feet stepped heavily on the two people's shields.

Fire breaks out!

The huge impact directly shattered the hastily formed defense. The two of them felt as if their chests were hit by a sledgehammer. They screamed and flew backwards like kites with broken strings, hitting them heavily in the mud.

Chu Bai relied on the force of the counter-shock to straighten up again. With one move, he held the small bronze cauldron suspended in mid-air firmly in his arms.

It all happened so fast.

From the perspective of the onlookers, they only saw a red light rushing into the battle circle, followed by two figures flying out.

There was no fighting at all, not even the slightest pause!

It was like a passerby casually pushed aside the stones blocking the road and picked up the small tripod.

"Sorry, I borrowed it for a moment."

Only the clear voice of the young man was left in the air.

When the two monks struggled to get up, Chu Bai's figure had already turned into a stream of light and disappeared at the end of Wasteland, leaving only a desperate figure behind.

Wasteland Outside, a burst of warm cheers erupted from the stands.

"Okay! Well done!"

Zhou Changkong slapped his thigh suddenly, his excitement was palpable.

The faces of the first-year students Instructor beside him were also flushed. After all, the boy who was killing everyone on the field was taught by them.

"I have acquired the second high-grade magic weapon! As long as it can be refined successfully, Chu Bai will have an absolute advantage in the next levels!"

"There are only thirty high-grade magic weapons in total, so many people have broken their heads trying to grab one. If one person can get two of them, Foundation Depth is simply unimaginable!"

On the side, Instructor Lei, who has always been known for his sternness, was also dumbfounded at this moment. He couldn't help but cheer loudly. "What a good boy! This skill is used very well!"

As an actual combatant, Instructor has the most vicious vision.

"It's not just the speed, the key is the control! You can also accurately perform feints and use force to attack while moving at high speed. This kind of heat...

Tsk tsk, when did this kid secretly practice such an exquisite body skill? He is far superior to those two third-year students!"

"Based on the current situation, as long as he is not greedy and grabs the third one, this little tripod is considered stable!"

Not only the Instructors, but also the students in the viewing area in the distance said it was wonderful.

Especially the first-year students, seeing their number one in the examination hall full of seniors, were so excited that their faces were red, and they wanted to rush in and cheer for him.

Among the crowd, the expression on Zhang Shan's face was the most exciting.

It was a complicated look of surprise, shock, and disbelief.

"Junior Brother Chu... has made so much progress during this period of time?"

Zhang Shan murmured to himself, staring blankly at the red figure in the light screen.

He originally thought that he had a sufficient understanding of Chu Bai's strength. After all, the two had fought side by side and killed Rat General together. But until this moment, he realized that he was still too naive.

"Even Senior Brother Lü Qing is still fighting hard for the first piece of treasure armor, but he has already acquired the second piece!"

"This efficiency... this means..."

Zhang Shan suddenly thought of a possibility that made his scalp feel numb.

"Is it possible that my junior brother is not participating in this competition just to hone himself and see the world, as I thought?"

"Is he really... going for those ten Immortal Clerk spots?!"

Once this thought came out, I could no longer suppress it.

What does it mean if Chu Bai is really successful?

This means that as a first-year student, he will skip all grades and graduate early and receive White Ordination!

"If we meet again then..."

Zhang Shan smiled bitterly, with a bit of self-deprecation and admiration in his tone, "I, who have been a senior brother for more than a year, I'm afraid I have to call him 'senior' instead."

Although this sounds a bit ridiculous, looking at the high-spirited young man in the field, Zhang Shan felt a strong expectation in his heart.

"Come on, junior brother! Let me see how big of a miracle you can create!"

Wasteland corner, the battle situation has slowed down a bit.

Wang Qingli sat cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, with his hands close to a giant wooden shield that exuded a simple atmosphere, and the earthy yellow aura flowing around him was endless.

In front of her, three thick Earth Wall were arranged in a Z-shaped pattern, protecting her from the wind and rain.

"Give up."

Wang Qingli looked cold, and his tone was as calm as stating a fact, "In another hundred breaths, I will be able to completely refine this shield. And with your current offensive, even if I give you another two hundred breaths, it will not be enough to break through my defense."

Opposite her, the girl who majored in the water system Spell Arts blushed. She changed her spells in her hands, and several waterspouts hit Earth Wall hard, but they were like earthworms shaking a tree, only splashing some mud.

"Damn..."

The girl gritted her teeth, but she also knew that what the other party said was true.

"It is indeed 'Iron Wall' Wang Qingli. This turtle shell is indeed worthy of its reputation. I will..."

The girl wanted to give up and was about to close her hands and look for other magic weapons so as not to be left empty-handed.

At this moment, a scorching wave of air suddenly roared past from the side.

"Huh?"

The two of them looked sideways at the same time. They saw a fiery red stream of light passing by the edge of the battlefield like a sudden gap. The man was actually holding a small bronze cauldron in his arms, exuding strong fluctuations of high-grade magic weapons!

"That's... an opportunity!"

The water girl's eyes narrowed, and she instinctively changed her mind. Wang Qingli This bone couldn't be chewed, but the person passing by had a treasure in his hand and was running at full strength. Maybe he could take advantage of it?

Almost subconsciously, she suddenly turned the waterspout that had just condensed in her hand and blasted it towards the red light, trying to block its path.

"Seeking death!"

A cold snort came from the stream of light.

There was no pause. A big hand shrouded in clouds appeared out of thin air. With a seemingly gentle move, the massive waterspout collapsed and dissipated like a bubble.

Immediately afterwards, Cloud Hand continued to lose momentum and pressed down.

Bang!

The girl felt a huge force coming towards her, as if she had been struck by lightning. She was knocked to the ground and fell to pieces.

And that red light didn't even slow down at all, leaving only an afterimage, and disappeared in the depths of Wasteland in an instant.

"That's..."

Wang Qingli opened his eyes wide, looking at that familiar figure, his heart was filled with shock, "Junior Brother Chu?!"

She knew in her heart that the girl had received this Chu Bai Cloud Hand, and that she might no longer be a threat in a short period of time, and might even have suffered internal injuries.

"I know only too well how terrifying the power of Chu Bai's Spell Arts is."

Wang Qingli smiled bitterly, "I just didn't expect that he would have acquired two high-grade magic weapons so quickly! And looking at his posture, it seems that he is still looking for the third target?"

"It's too fast... This is not a competition, this is clearly a purchase."

Stimulated by Chu Bai, Wang Qingli could not help but speed up the transmission of spiritual power in his hands.

"I can't lag too far behind, I have to quickly refine this side [Profound Wood Shield] in my hand!"

Wasteland Deep, Chu Bai stepped on the ring of fire, speeding faster and faster.

He lowered his head and glanced at the heavy bronze cauldron in his arms, feeling secretly happy.

"This Fire Element Ring really gives me a big advantage. Not only is it fast, but the explosion just now is even more difficult to guard against."

"As for this little tripod..."

Chu Bai Spirit Awareness poked his head in and felt the mountain-like restrictions inside the cauldron, "It should be [Origin-Bearing Cauldron] recorded in the classics."

"It has the effect of suppressing and banning. Once activated, if a huge force is added to it, it can be used to hit people or trap enemies. It is a powerful auxiliary."

"It needs to be refined quickly!"

For ordinary monks, it would take at least two to three quarters of hours of water grinding to refine an unowned high-grade magic weapon.

But Chu Bai is different.

He has Perfected Level's "Origin Return Formula" and Little Five-Element Cycle, and his control over spiritual power has already reached the level of Subtlety.

In his hands, the originally solid and obscure restrictions were melting and disintegrating at an alarming speed, like butter on a hot knife.

"This is my advantage."

Chu Bai's eyes flashed, "Refining faster, I can free up my hands to do more things. Maybe... I can be greedy again?"

His eyes turned to the distance again.

There seem to be a few nice treasures there that are exuding alluring auras.
