Chapter 317: Refining Successful

Boom!

As the sun rose higher, the atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly heated, and especially when a crisp sound like striking gold and jade emanated from one of the refining platforms, all eyes in the entire venue converged upon it.

For that was the sound of the refining ending.

As the multitude of gazes turned that way, they discovered that the first person to finish refining was, as expected, Han Zhi from the Great Marsh House.

At this moment, the latter wore a smile and raised a crystal tube in his hand; within it flowed a dark gray liquid, viscous, as if dust were dancing out of the liquid, swirling inside the crystal tube, quite brilliant.

Many who understood Spirit Water Wonders recognized it at a glance: it was the Third Rank Spirit Water, Brown Dust Spirit Water, which the Great Marsh House used to compete with other top Spirit Water Wonder Houses of the Great Xia.

This was also the only formula among the Great Marsh House's many Third Rank Spirit Waters that reached the Four-Star level.

Cheers rose in the arena; Han Zhi's performance could be said to be the most outstanding among the six Spirit Water Refiners who took the field this time, for not only did no single mistake occur during his refining, but he also produced the finished product at the fastest speed.

Over at the Great Marsh House, Du Ze Duze Honglian and Du Ze Duze Beixuan also showed smiles on their faces, obviously extremely satisfied with this.

After finishing the refining, Han Zhi calmly wiped his hands, then glanced toward Li Luo's side; the latter's expression was focused at this moment, seemingly having not heard the end of his own side, and looking at the Spirit Water he was refining, it was obviously still some distance from success.

He smiled carefree about this; after all, he was only a Third Rank Spirit Water Refiner, and even if the other party's talent was astonishing, it was impossible to truly compare with a Fifth Rank Spirit Water Refiner like himself.

Of course, whether the refining was fast or slow was not important here; what mattered was still the final refining power of the finished product.

Han Zhi was quite satisfied with this bottle of Spirit Water he had refined today, so he had confidence that in this Third Rank arena, he should be the most outstanding.

That would make handing in the report quite easy.

And not long after Han Zhi finished refining, the other four Fifth Rank Spirit Water Refiners also finished their refining one after another, exchanging smiles with each other, quite dignified indeed.

Thus, next, all gazes were cast upon Li Luo, who still had not finished.

The latter's expression was focused, completing the steps of fusion methodically, completely unaffected by the outside world.

Over at the Stream Sun House, Yan Yan Lingqing and Cai Wei both had expressions of barely concealed tension, and even Jiang Jiang Qinge straightened her upper body slightly, her golden eyes staring tightly at Li Luo's figure.

"Brother Luo, go for it!"

In the stands, Seeing Yu Lang, Zhao Kuo, and others were all shouting encouragement.

Lu Qing'er and Bai Bai Mengmeng also gripped their hands tightly, appearing exceptionally nervous.

Their shouts gradually attracted the support of some Spirit Power Academy students; after all, they were just there to watch the spectacle, and recently Li Luo's affairs in the Dark Caves had aroused the admiration of many students, so they did not mind helping to shout encouragement at this moment.

Thus, the momentum of this encouragement gradually rose, which actually caused some surprise among the various Spirit Water Wonder Houses attending the invitation meeting; they had not expected Li Luo to have such prestige within the Holy Profound Star Academy.

Hasn't Li Luo only entered the Holy Profound Star Academy for a little over half a year?

The shouts from outside did not enter Li Luo's ears; at this moment, his refining had also entered the most critical moment, and various complex medicinal natures began to fuse.

One by one, crystal tubes, borne by Spirit Power, floated around his body; his expression was calm, and his long ten fingers tapped in mid-air; every time they descended, a beam of water-light Spirit Power shot out swiftly, falling into a crystal tube; the Spirit Power gradually fused with the various extracted medicinal natures, while simultaneously removing the impurities within.

At this moment, Li Luo seemed like a musician; whenever his fingers tapped, musical notes would emerge from that crystal tube.

Gradually, in his gestures, there was also a certain sense of flowing clouds and running water.

And the fusion materials within those crystal tubes also gradually became purer at this time; under the sunlight, they looked like fragments of crystal.

On the high platform of the square, Dean Ling Ling Zhaoying, who had been watching Li Luo's refining, suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "This kid's Spirit Power seems a bit strange."

Instructor Xi Chan said, "Li Luo possesses dual aspects; it is normal for his Spirit Power to differ from others."

Dean Ling Ling Zhaoying hesitated for a moment and said uncertainly, "It is not the power of dual aspects... I mean, the materials refined from his Spirit Power seem to appear exceptionally pure."

"This degree of purity is actually not weaker than the other Fifth Rank Spirit Water Refiners in the arena; this is strange..."

Hearing this, Instructor Xi Chan was also stunned: "Is that so... His first aspect is the Water Aspect, and his second aspect is the Wood Aspect; the power of the Wood Aspect should not have any special amplification for refining Spirit Water Wonders, right?"

Dean Ling Ling Zhaoying also felt a bit strange, but did not think much of it, simply saying, "This kid's Spirit Water Refining Art is quite solid; although some mistakes occurred at the beginning, he adjusted quickly; this refining should be considered successful."

"Just as I expected, the Spirit Water Wonder he refined is indeed a Four-Star formula."

Instructor Xi Chan was not particularly surprised by this; Li Luo was originally a Third Rank Spirit Water Refiner, so refining a Third Rank Spirit Water Wonder was just within his capability, so success was to be expected.

However, merely succeeding in refining is not enough.

Ultimately, one must compare the refining power possessed by the refined Spirit Water Wonders; this is the only indicator to verify each person's ability and the strength of the Spirit Water Wonder House behind them.

And generally speaking, in a situation where everyone has a Four-Star formula, Li Luo himself is only a Third Rank Spirit Water Refiner, so the Third Rank Spirit Water Wonder he refines will inevitably be a notch weaker than the Third Rank Spirit Water Wonders refined by the other Fifth Rank Spirit Water Refiners.

After all, the gap between ranks cannot be ignored.

As for the Mi Fa Source Water of Seven Purity, the Spirit Water Wonder Houses behind the other five Fifth Rank Spirit Water Refiners also have it, so how should Li Luo close this gap?

While Instructor Xi Chan pondered, time gradually began to approach the end of the refining period.

And amidst the increasingly strong and rising shouts of encouragement from the entire venue, the Spirit Power within Li Luo's body suddenly surged greatly; it was seen that the fusion liquids within the many crystal tubes suddenly shot out violently, converging before him to form a water vortex.

Spirit Power churned within it, and gradually starlight erupted from within.

Finally, drops of miraculous liquid shimmering with starlight fell down, landing precisely into a crystal bottle in Li Luo's hand; within the crystal bottle was also the Mi Fa Source Water that Li Luo had already prepared.

Hiss!

Fine smoke rose, within which it seemed starlight was ascending.

Mengdie Spirit Water was finally refined.

The cheers of the entire venue rose like thunder.

Li Luo finally came to from that focused state; hearing the cheers filling the venue, he also couldn't help but smile; the students in the academy were really supportive.

"It's just that he successfully refined one Third Rank Spirit Water."

Mei Zhu Xuan'er in the stands shook her head and said with a smile, "With this momentum, people who don't understand might think his refining power surpassed the other Fifth Rank Spirit Water Refiners."

"The results aren't out yet, so say less," Li Bi said with a frown; this Mei Zhu Xuan'er had been chattering non-stop, which was annoying.

"Whether the results come out or not, what significance does it have?" Mei Zhu Xuan'er said.

Li Bi said nothing, simply turning her gaze toward the refining platform; as Li Luo finished refining, instructors had already begun to walk onto the platform; this was to begin the final step.

And the most important step.

The testing of refining power.
