Chapter 2822: Chapter 2842: Friend, can I get a light?

Everyone’s gaze around them focused intently on Su Hao, as they too were curious, how could the outcome of the Artifact Refinement Competition be linked with Mount Taixu?

This was artifact refinement, not fighting!

If it were fighting, then Mount Taixu would certainly be victorious by default.

Su Hao said with a smile, "Unless there is an accident, the final contest should be between me and Dai Yunshen, and the format of the finals is to refine the same magical treasure from identical materials. Whoever refines a magical treasure of better quality will be the winner."

"I’ve inquired about it, and for this final round, the main material for refinement is Black Cloud Soul Iron, which is an exceptionally rare but superb material. The magical treasures refined from it are definitely top-grade spiritual treasures. However, Black Cloud Soul Iron has one characteristic: it has an extremely high melting point, and the flames in most of the world simply cannot melt it."

"I currently possess the highest temperature Artifact Refining Fire, the Nine Yang Spirit Fire. Its temperature is extremely high, entirely capable of melting Black Cloud Soul Iron, but the Nine Yang Spirit Fire has a flaw: because its temperature is too high, too violent, it is quite unstable, and this is a major taboo for artifact refinement."

"Dai Yunshen will likely use his Purple Heart Lotus Fire, which he obtained by chance. Its temperature is also extremely high and can completely melt Black Cloud Soul Iron, not inferior to Nine Yang Spirit Fire. However, the stability of the Purple Heart Lotus Fire’s temperature is much higher than that of Nine Yang Spirit Fire. Even though I could compensate and control it through technique, if we are roughly at the same skill level, the slightest bit of difference means defeat."

Su Hao candidly analyzed the situation and gave a wry smile, "Dai Yunshen’s skills in artifact refinement are almost the same as mine. If the material were different, our chances of winning might be unknown, and even a tie could be possible. But now that he’s using Purple Heart Lotus Fire and I’m using Nine Yang Spirit Fire, the difference between them is enough to affect the outcome."

"True Person Tai Xu travels across the Immortal Realm and has obtained various kinds of Artifact Refining Fires. The Void Spirit True Fire that he himself uses, and the Seven-Colored Dragon Flame given to his sixth disciple, Zhou Daodao, are both extremely suitable for refining Black Cloud Soul Iron, with incredibly high stability, making them excellent choices for high melting point materials."

"If it were one of those two who had come here, I would throw away my pride and borrow their Artifact Refining Fire, and then I’d have the confidence to compete with Dai Yunshen, maybe even a good chance to win. But since it wasn’t them who came, naturally, that possibility is no more."

After listening to the explanation, people suddenly understood.

After all this time, it wasn’t that his technique was lacking, but that his Artifact Refining Fire was a notch below his opponent’s.

Everyone also understood that there are many Miracle Fires suitable for artifact refinement in the world, and different fires used to refine different materials can achieve varying results.

Selecting the proper Artifact Refining Fire to accurately match the material is also one of the fundamental skills of an Artifact Refiner.

Although Su Hao was the Sect Master of Xinghe Sect, after all, he was not a Quasi-Saint like True Person Tai Xu, who could traverse thousands of realms. He tried every means, but whether it was fate or luck, even though he managed to obtain Nine Yang Spirit Fire, it was still inferior to Dai Yunshen’s Purple Heart Lotus Fire.

No wonder Su Hao sounded both envious and helpless when he mentioned that Dai Yunshen was lucky to have obtained Purple Heart Lotus Fire.

The scene was silent for a moment, as it was a situation that didn’t lend itself well to comfort, whatever you’d say would sound odd.

Besides, given Su Hao’s status, was it up to those present to offer consolation?

An old woman frowned and said, "Shouldn’t this Artifact Refinement Competition test one’s refinement abilities under equal conditions? Isn’t it somewhat deviating from the original intent if it becomes a comparison of who has the better Artifact Refining Fire?"

As soon as this statement was made, those around them had their eyes light up and they agreed one after another.

Wan Yan Jie became quite embarrassed. Although it was not decided by their Void Sect who would compete in the final stage of the competition, they were the organizers.

Su Hao, however, did not mind it. He waved his hand generously and said, "Be that as it may, this competition is about the skills of the Artifact Refiners. Isn’t obtaining the Artifact Refining Fire also one of the skills of an Artifact Refiner? If you think about it that way, there’s no problem."

"Besides, what I’ve just talked about is under ideal circumstances. When we actually get on the field, we’ll have to see how we perform. If Dai Yunshen doesn’t perform well and his operation is flawed, and if I perform exceptionally, then I’m not without a chance to win."

Lin Chen secretly admired in his heart, Su Hao’s straightforward and transparent way of conducting himself, and his broad-mindedness, truly worthy of a grandmaster!

From his previously anxious demeanor, it was clear that he was very eager to borrow better Artifact Refining Fire and win the competition. But upon realizing it was unfeasible, he quickly adjusted his mindset, maintained calm, and even took the initiative to reassure everyone.

Artifact Refining Fire with an ultra-high melting point?

Lin Chen’s gaze suddenly paused, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He did indeed have three types of Artifact Refining Fire on him: Yin Yang Ghost Fire, Sun Real Fire, and Phoenix Fire. Among these, Sun Real Fire was without life, while Yin Yang Ghost Fire and Phoenix Fire had already awakened their spiritual intelligence and were spiritual.

If he were to lend his fire to him, wouldn’t that mean he would owe him a huge favor?
