Chapter 1144

She didn’t say too much about the rules. She just gave all the evaluations to the elders of the Divine Palace and let them evaluate them themselves. Apart from being unable to provide their disciples with an assessment, the rest could be assessed.

The final average score was their score. It could be said that each faction had seven evaluations. They determined the score.

“That’s the rule. I won’t participate in any scoring. After all, I won’t be able to forge any weapons. I won’t be able to score this. Although I was the one who made the decisions in the past, I have decided to let the elders make the decisions this time. I will tell the elders in advance if there are any changes this time.”

This was the first time Territory Lord Liu Li had changed. In the past, she had always been the one to decide the participants’ scores. However, her eyesight wasn’t bad. She could determine the better weapon, but there was a change this time.

“Territory Lord Liu Li, why have you changed?” Elder Gou Huang was rather curious about this.

“I just feel that some things are better to be changed, especially the contents of the test that I’ve decided on. There will be a greater change than in previous years. Therefore, I need the assistance of the elders. Otherwise, it will be difficult to evaluate.” Territory Lord Liu Li’s true opinion was that the change was too great and needed the elders’ help!

The participants widened their eyes. Could it be that the assessment this time was a bit more perverse?

“So that’s how it is. Then, I’ll have to look forward to Territory Lord Liu Li’s assessment. The content of each assessment is amazing!” Elder Gou Huang praised from the side.

The other elders all agreed. It wasn’t flattery, but the questions from Territory Lord Liu Li were really good. It was amazing. The most important thing was that it would greatly help the assessment. It would test everyone’s standards.

When these words entered the ears of the participants, they felt a little unsettled. What kind of strange special wood would Territory Lord Liu Li produce this time?

Territory Lord Liu Li smiled and looked at the elders. “Then I’ll have to trouble the elders of the Divine Palace later.”

“I don’t dare to accept it. I don’t dare accept it. We are very willing to serve you.”

The elders of the Divine Palace all agreed. They all knew Territory Lord Liu Li’s abilities, so they were naturally willing to serve him and had no objections.

Territory Lord Liu Li immediately looked at the many participants and said, “Before the competition begins, let’s make a simple rule. We can’t interfere with each other. Everything is based on our strengths. If there is a violation, we will be sentenced to ten thousand years in the Reflection Tower!”

This was harsh. He had been sentenced to ten thousand years in the Reflection Tower but hadn’t gone crazy. Of course, this was still considered good. At the very least, it wasn’t a direct death sentence. That was the true severity.

Everyone nodded. They naturally couldn’t interfere with each other during the competition. Although there was a competition, they absolutely couldn’t interfere with each other. This was the scope of the rules.

This wasn’t a competition. There was no need to interfere with each other. There was no need for that.

“Next, prepare to begin the first test.”

With a wave of her hand, countless pieces of metal fell from the sky and rained down on them.

They quickly threw the iron pieces into the sky and landed beside themselves. They didn’t throw the pieces of iron to the side. This was a question given by Territory Lord Liu Li. How could they throw it out?

When they received the pieces of iron one after another, they found that these pieces of iron were all very ordinary pieces of iron. They were similar to ordinary black iron in the mortal realm. It could be said that they were everywhere and were very worthless. It could be said that they were similar to the stones outside. This time, Territory Lord Liu Li threw out this piece of iron. Could it be used as a material for forging?

Yi Tianyun took the piece of iron and looked around carefully. It was indeed ordinary black iron, without any bright spots.

“This is the question?” Yi Tianyun narrowed his eyes and looked around. He didn’t know what Territory Lord Liu Li wanted.

He didn’t know what question Territory Lord Liu Li would give, but from the looks of it, it was not a simple question. However, thinking about it, if it were too simple, there would be no meaning to give a question.

It must be a question with an abnormal point. The harder, the better, so that they can see their level.

“You all got this Black Iron; how long have you not seen this Black Iron?” Territory Lord Liu Li looked at them indifferently.

Everyone looked at each other awkwardly. Some of them had only looked at it once or not. How could they have seen this kind of scrap metal before?

Most of the people present had grown up with gold keys in their mouths. They had never even touched a piece of trash like black iron. At most, they had seen it before. Of course, that didn’t mean they didn’t know how to forge artefacts. The materials were all the same anyway. If their techniques were strong, then there wouldn’t be a problem.

“I think many of you haven’t seen it before. Or perhaps you have. You haven’t touched it.” Territory Lord Liu Li said calmly, “I know that none of you have ever used this black iron, but I am using something you have never used before as the test subject!”

“Some people know about it, but this does not affect fairness. After all, even if it has never been used, it can be used with just a slight attempt. This is your most basic foundation. If you don’t have this foundation, don’t stay in the Divine Construct Palace!”

Everyone’s eyes were solemn. These words were indeed true. Even if it were a stone, they must refine it into gold. After all, even if they couldn’t, it didn’t mean that the others couldn’t.

“The topic of this round is very normal. You will use this black iron as the foundation and combine it with other materials to refine weapons. The higher the grade, the higher the score. First, it is not simply adding black iron into the materials but using black iron as the main material. If the final weapon refined by the black iron is not the main material, then the results will be ineffective!”

If they were to simply use the black iron to refine weapons, even if the elders of the Divine Construct Palace were to refine it, they would not be able to refine a very high-quality gun. Thus, they had to add materials. However, adding materials was also very important. Not just adding any materials could crazily increase the grade.

The capacity of the black iron itself was limited. If some materials were thrown down, the black iron would directly explode. It would be unable to accommodate these overbearing materials, or other fierce materials would dominate it.

For example, adding a higher grade ore would instantly occupy the position of the black iron, and the black iron would undoubtedly be reduced to a supporting role.

If he refined it like this, the questions given by Territory Lord Liu Li would naturally lose their meaning. She wanted to create high-grade materials for this fragile piece of iron as much as possible.

This was a comprehensive test of their control over fire, understanding of materials, and research on the fusion aspect.

Everyone felt pressured for the first stage to have such a difficult problem.

“Interesting. This is a difficult problem for Territory Lord Liu Li. It is a bit difficult…” Yi Tianyun grabbed the black iron and smiled. This is not difficult for him at all.

At first, he started forging the black iron, but no one knew this black iron better than him.
