Chapter 615: Nervous

Sikong Yan took a deep breath, got rid of all of his distractions, and continued forging his Frost Saber.

However, even though the two were competing on quality, Su Mo’s speed put Sikong Yan under immense pressure.

His speed also increased by 30%.

Su Mo ignored the shocked audience and silently waited for the saber embryo to cool.

After around fifteen minutes, the saber embryo had cooled to the point of being solid.

Su Mo took out the quenching liquid and poured it onto the saber embryo.

Sizzle!

With a sizzling sound, the saber embryo gave off a cloud of steam. Then, it emitted a terrifying frost air that turned the steam into ice shards which fell into the furnace.

After a while, the crafting furnace quieted down, and an one-meter-long light blue saber appeared, floating silently in the furnace.

It was basically forged and only needed to be refined and sharpened.

Then, he closed the lid again and reignited the fire with his Dark Force in order to burn and refine the Frost Saber.

The frost air kept colliding with the flames, but under the control of Su Mo’s willpower, the flames completely controlled the frost air.

The Frost Saber’s blade gradually became shiny and glinted with cold light.

After another ten minutes trickled by, Su Mo stopped and reopened the lid.

Whoosh!

Su Mo waved his arm, sending out an air blast that summoned the Frost Saber toward him.

The blue saber shone coldly and gave off a strong frost air, causing the ground around Su Mo to instantly frost up.

Pop!

Su Mo scrutinized the saber carefully while grabbing the handle and nodded inwardly.

“Not bad!” He smiled. This Frost Saber definitely was of the highest quality among Lower Lv 5 weapons.

In the past few days, Su Mo had forged over 200 Lv 5 weapons and became very experienced.

Therefore, forging a high quality Lower Lv 5 Frost Saber was an easy task for him.

Less than hour had passed since Su Mo started forging the Frost Saber. He was even faster than Ming Yu.

Then, he turned to look at Sikong Yan, who was casting his saber. He still had a while to go.

At this moment, Sikong Yan looked extremely upset. He had not expected Su Mo to forge a Frost Saber so quickly.

Also, to his dismay, he could tell from the aura of Su Mo’s Frost Saber that it was of very high quality.

Sikong Yan grew anxious. He tried to calm himself and avoid making mistakes.

At this moment, the entire arena erupted with endless chatter.

“Su Mo actually did it!”

“He’s so fast. He’s the fastest among everyone!”

“Amazing! I think his Frost Saber is pretty high-quality as well.”

“Su Mo will definitely win!”

Everyone was shocked by Su Mo’s craftsmanship, including Shan Gu and the other Sky-sea Pavilion’s craftsmen.

Of course, the middle-aged judge whom Su Mo had humiliated in the differentiating round looked extremely upset.

Ming Yu also looked shocked. Su Mo’s craftsmanship was just as strong as hers!

“Interesting!” Ming Yu curled her red lips seductively.

In the arena, Sikong Yan could no longer suppress his emotions after hearing everyone’s chatter.

Distractions and anxiety were the greatest enemies of craftsmanship, and they could easily lead to failure.

Buzz Buzz Buzz ~~~

Sikong Yan’s crafting furnace began vibrating slightly, and the saber embryo that was being cast inside became unstable because of Sikong Yan’s emotions.

“Oh no!”

Frightened, Sikong Yan immediately minimized the heat. He channeled his willpower into the furnace and finally stabilized the embryo after a few minutes.

Whew!

Sikong Yan heaved a sigh of relief. He hastily dispelled all of his distractions and continued to forge the Frost Saber.

Soon, his saber was completed as well.

Sikong Yan scrutinized his Frost Saber and let out a sigh of relief. Although it was not as good as his usual work, it was still high-quality.

This was due to his skillful craftsmanship and strong willpower.

If anyone else had been as emotional as he was just now, they would have failed already.

Sikong Yan glimpsed at Su Mo with a hint of concern.

He was much slower than Su Mo, and his saber was barely high-quality. It would be hard to contend with Su Mo.

Now, he could only hope that Su Mo’s Frost Saber failed to meet the required quality.

While both Su Mo and Sikong Yan had succeeded, other people were still forging their weapons, and many had failed and been eliminated.

After another hour, a total of 134 people successfully forged their sabers.

Then, Zhao Quan stepped out and began inspecting everyone’s Frost Sabers.

Zhao Quan began with Su Mo’s. He was excited to see the quality of his sword, since Su Mo’s forging methods were very different from others.

Zhao Quan began inspecting the Frost Saber carefully and even injected it with a bit of Dark Force.

In this moment, Sikong Yan was the most nervous instead of Su Mo.

Beads of sweat collected on Sikong Yan’s forehead, and he stared intently at Zhao Quan.

He was worried that Zhao Quan would declare the sword to be of high-quality, because that meant he was done for!

If he lost the competition, he would not know what to do with himself.

It was absolutely impossible for him to become Su Mo’s disciple, not even if he would be killed.

However, he could not go back on his words either since he was a renowned genius.

He had made a bet with Su Mo in front of over 100,000 people.

If he went back on his words after losing, he would become a laughingstock.

He was a peerless genius at the peak of the younger generation in East Continent. If he was not true to his words, he would be despised by many.

This was unacceptable for Sikong Yan!

Therefore, he was extremely nervous and anxious. He could even hear his heart throbbing in his chest.
