After Being Possessed By A Witch, I Became An Outlaw

Chapter 302 I’Ve Already Won

Jin Ling'er was full of confidence and couldn't wait to start.

Zhang Chi didn't waste any time either. Both of them took their positions, with Long Yan acting as the referee.

It can be said that there were no outsiders here, and winning or losing wouldn't be too embarrassing. But both of them were filled with a strong fighting spirit.

"Since this is a pure test of skill, I won't take advantage of my higher cultivation level. I will lower my cultivation to the Foundation Building stage," Jin Ling'er said proudly. She wouldn't allow herself to bully others just because of her higher cultivation level.

As for her control over metal, it was instinctive and couldn't be suppressed. But this could also be considered as part of her skill.

Zhang Chi, on the other hand, said, "Ling'er, you can go all out. There's no need to lower your cultivation level."

Jin Ling'er: "..."

Very well, although she could still win even if she lowered her cultivation level, Zhang Chi's arrogance annoyed her to the extreme.

You brat, you'll cry later!

The iron forging began, and Jin Ling'er immediately displayed her overwhelming dominance. When the heat was just right, she started hammering the materials. Because of Zhang Chi's provocation, Jin Ling'er was extremely serious this time.

She wanted to defeat Zhang Chi with her perfect state and let him know how powerful she was.

Compared to Jin Ling'er's swift and decisive technique, Zhang Chi's performance was hard to look at. Of course, after three days of practice, he was considered quite competent. At least his artifact refining technique was not wrong, but it seemed slower and less smooth than Jin Ling'er's.

Because of the hidden competition between the two, their sparring carried a strong sense of competitiveness. Both sides chose materials at the same level, but the specific materials were different.

Jin Ling'er chose metal materials, namely Wujin Stone, Bixiong Stone, Hongyin Stone, Chitian Stone, and Lanlu Stone. These were commonly used artifact refining materials in the cultivation world, and they were all ordinary things.

Zhang Chi, on the other hand, chose the Five Elements materials: Black Iron Stone, Yin Carbon, Blazing Flame Stone, Ice Crystal Stone, and Volcanic Ash. In terms of the difficulty of material extraction, Jin Ling'er's materials were naturally more difficult.

Each one was a metal material that needed to be hammered and refined. But Zhang Chi only needed to refine and forge the Black Iron Stone and Blazing Flame Stone, while the others didn't need to be refined and could be used directly.

However, Jin Ling'er's actual speed far surpassed Zhang Chi's. Jin Ling'er completed the first step with a series of "clang clang clang" sounds, refining all the materials, while Zhang Chi was still forging the first material.

Jin Ling'er completed the second step with another series of "clang clang clang" sounds, while Zhang Chi was still forging the first material.

Jin Ling'er began to engrave runes, while Zhang Chi was still forging the first material.

Jin Ling'er quenched the materials with a sizzling sound, and a High Grade Law Weapon was completed, shining with a cold light.

Compared to the sword she had demonstrated before, Jin Ling'er spent less time today and the sword she forged was sharper and had better patterns.

Her stable production technique for High Grade Law Weapons was enough to amaze people.

But in Zhang Chi's eyes, she was just a Transcendent Level assembly line worker.

Her skills were unbeatable, but Zhang Chi wasn't here to compete with her in terms of skill. They were completely on different tracks.

So when she finished forging, Zhang Chi wasn't in a hurry. He calmly hammered the materials, refining them as much as possible to purify the materials he needed.

However, due to the difference in cultivation level and control over metal, the purity of the materials Zhang Chi carefully refined was not on the same level as Jin Ling'er's.

Jin Ling'er, being an experienced expert, could see this at a glance.

She had already finished forging while Zhang Chi was still dawdling. With so many impurities in the materials, at most, he could only refine them into Low Grade Law Weapons.

The difference between the two was clear.

Jin Ling'er calmly stepped back to Long Yan's side and said, "Take your time, don't rush."

Killing someone is just a way to punish their heart.

But Zhang Chi is not in a hurry.

He wants to make Jin Ling'er happy for a while longer.

Seeing this, Jin Ling'er also pointed out from the side, "When you strike the material, you need to maintain a steady rhythm. It doesn't matter if it's fast or slow, but it must be stable, so that the material can adapt to your forging."

Zhang Chi listened to her advice and began to strike with more order.

Seeing that he was obedient, Jin Ling'er continued to instruct, "The striking points also matter. Sometimes concentrate on one point, sometimes strike in an orderly array. Avoid hitting randomly."

Jin Ling'er only taught some technical skills. As for how Zhang Chi should refine the material and how to mix it, she didn't comment.

If she were to teach him, wouldn't it be like competing with her own disciple?

She just thought Zhang Chi's technique was too unfamiliar and couldn't bear to watch.

Being a mentor is human nature.

Zhang Chi still listened to the advice and began to forge according to Jin Ling'er's instructions.

Long Yan finally smiled.

That's more like it!

This is how communication and learning should be.

In Long Yan's eyes, Zhang Chi and Jin Ling'er were like a replica of her and Jin Ling'er's story. They misunderstood each other at first, then fought, and finally became close friends.

Jin Ling'er is a good person, and so is Zhang Chi. They are both honest, intelligent, and kind-hearted people. How could there be any unresolved grievances between them?

Seeing that they were no longer at odds, Long Yan felt relieved.

Soon, the sun began to set, and the day was over.

Zhang Chi completed the first step, smelting the iron and started the second step, incorporating other materials.

Jin Ling'er also wanted to see how Zhang Chi would embarrass himself in this step.

Among the difficulties of forging, blending two or three materials is the easiest. Metal and wood can be well matched.

The most difficult part is extreme single attribute and all five elements.

Jin Ling'er could also achieve a harmonious blend of the five elements, but she found that Law Weapons forged from the fusion of the five elements were not as powerful as those with an extreme single attribute.

It was purely a flashy process with no practical effect.

And the difficulty of extreme single attribute was even higher than that of all five elements because the five elements can blend with each other, while materials with extreme single attributes would repel each other.

If it weren't for Jin Ling'er's perfect control of metal, others who forged extreme single attribute gold, even if they didn't fail, the final product's grade would not be high.

The materials Jin Ling'er used could at most forge a Middle Grade Law Weapon, and most of them were Low Grade Law Weapons. But she could consistently forge High Grade Law Weapons.

The grade of Law Weapons forged by others was the limit they could achieve, while Jin Ling'er could forge High Grade Law Weapons because the limit of these ordinary spirit ores was High Grade Law Weapons.

It's like a bag of rice, no matter how you cook it, it won't turn into a piece of meat.

The limitation lies in the materials themselves.

The five elements materials chosen by Zhang Chi were average, but it was commendable that he dared to challenge such a high difficulty.

After all, he was just a beginner, and Zhang Chi's basic skills had already proven this.

Zhang Chi's performance didn't disappoint Jin Ling'er. It was a bit slow, but so far, he hadn't made any mistakes.

But watching Zhang Chi strike continuously like this was quite boring. Especially when she had little room for guidance, she got tired and called Xiao Bai over to lie down on the ground. She climbed onto Xiao Bai and fell asleep, saying to Long Yan, "He's in your hands now, be careful not to explode the furnace."

Five elements materials are the easiest to explode the furnace. With Zhang Chi's cultivation level, if it caused the eruption of the Earth Fire Spring, he would be done for. But with Long Yan watching over, it should be fine.

Jin Ling'er fell asleep at ease, while Zhang Chi's clanging continued throughout the night.

Long Yan looked at Zhang Chi with affection. A serious man is handsome, especially someone like Zhang Chi who is naturally handsome.

Outside, although Long Yan refused others to watch, it couldn't stop their curiosity... (End of this chapter)
