At this moment, Xu Yourong was exceptionally calm, especially when she saw Chu Hen's eyes that were as calm as water. She was even more sure that Chu Hen would not harm her.
"Nonsense!"
Xu Hao was especially agitated.
Compared to the others, he was even more restless and anxious.
No one here was clearer than Xu Hao about the consequences of the Rune rebounding. He had already become a 'cripple' and would never allow any problems to happen to Xu Yourong.
"Rong'er, stop messing around. I don't want the position of Patriarch anymore."
Everyone was shocked. They never expected Xu Hao to be this worried.
However, Xu Yourong's expression was still firm. She slightly opened her red lips and became even more determined, "Father, I believe my daughter will not misjudge him!" With that, she looked back at Chu Hen and said, "Formation!"
They formed a formation.
These two words made Xu Hao and the rest's hearts sink to the bottom.
"No!" Xu Hao's eyes were wide open as he advised.
However, Xu Yourong had already connected the many Rune in the sky. Streams of silver colored Light Pattern connected with each other, and the Rune connected with the other two.
Chu Hen's eyebrows raised slightly. He did not hesitate to connect the Rune.
In that instant, a bright and resplendent, strange light net shrouded the sky above the Earth Fire Platform, shocking everyone present to the point that their gazes were all fixated on the net.
"Buzz buzz!"
Immediately after, the Rune s net that was connected to each other released a dazzling brilliance.
The space trembled a little bit, and an astonishing aura spread out.
Seeing this situation, all the Xu Family disciples hurriedly retreated backwards.
Everyone's pupils shrank!
Just when everyone thought that the Rune was about to suffer a backlash that would cause a horrifying energy explosion, the aura suddenly and quickly withdrew. What was even more shocking was that the light between the Rune and the Rune was flowing with a holy golden luster.
"This?"
"The formation was completed?"
"How is this possible?"
The entire Earth Fire Platform plaza sank into a strange atmosphere.
Including Xu Hao, Great Elder, Second Elder, and the other higher ups of the Xu Family, all of them were stunned.
Xu Dingfeng and Pei Feiming looked at each other. They could see the disbelief in each other's eyes.
The formation was successful, which meant that there was no problem with the arrangement of the Rune!
Next, they could carve the Rune into artifact patterns!
However, the Rune that Chu Hen created and the way they arranged it clearly had the same differences and deviations from what everyone else knew. What exactly was going on? Could it be that the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern had another arrangement?
In the midst of his shock, Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he was the Patriarch of Xu Family, he was still so scared that his hands were trembling.
Atop the Earth Fire Platform, Xu You Rong's face was also slightly pale, and her heartbeat quickened.
Then, she looked at Chu Hen with a relaxed smile, "You scared me to death!"
Regardless of whether she believed Chu Hen or not, based on the situation just now, anyone would be extremely nervous. After all, no one had ever tried this type of Rune arrangement before. Fortunately, Xu Yourong did not believe in the wrong person.
Chu Hen replied with a smile of praise. It could be said that the other party was betting his life.
As a female, Xu You Rong dared to do this, it was truly admirable.
"Let's take a break and begin inscribing the inscriptions!" Chu Hen said.
Xu Yourong took a few deep breaths, and did her best to calm her heart down, and said, "That's enough!"
"No more rest?"
"No need!"
Xu Yourong understood that her and Chu Hen's overall level was lower than Xu Dingfeng's and Pei Feiming's. Next up, the amount of time needed to inscribe the inscriptions would definitely be more than the two of them. Therefore, to her and Chu Hen, every minute and every second that remained was precious.
Naturally, they could not waste their time on resting.
Then, Chu Hen waved his sleeve, and the Fine Steel Sword that was placed beside him flew up, hovering in the air between the two of them.
Without any delay, Xu Yourong's expression became extremely serious, and she began to control the array of Rune to head towards the Steel Essence Sword, and began to carve it into the pattern of the Sword Body.
Streaks of strange patterns that were as bright as hair spread and expanded above the Sword Body with a slow and steady speed.
Compared to before, Xu Dingfeng's speed was almost the same.
Both of them did not have much skill in smithing compared to Pattern Master, so the key to successfully completing the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern was still up to Chu Hen, who was only at the fifth stage of the High-Level Pattern Master Realm.
Time slowly passed by!
Xu Yourong's drawing speed also became slower and slower, and the incense stick below the stage also became shorter and shorter.
The bright and beautiful Rune above the Earth Fire Platform were like stars, shining brilliantly …
The atmosphere was silent and strange.
Looking at this situation, many doubts sprouted in Xu Dingfeng's heart. Earlier, he thought Chu Hen was the Second Elder, the Third Elder and the people they arranged for him. Now, it seems that this was not the case.
"Interesting!" Pei Feiming rubbed his chin, and smiled with interest, "I didn't expect that the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern would have such an arrangement. "This person has some skill."
Xu Dingfeng frowned and said solemnly, "Brother Pei, what reason do you have to be so ambitious? "Just a fifth rank High-Level Pattern Master, what big news could he possibly bring about?"
Pei Feiming smiled, and said, "Brother Xu, there is no need to worry. At their current speed, they might not be able to complete the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern arrangement by the appointed time."
After a long while, under everyone's different gazes, Xu Yourong finally finished carving the last Rune she could control.
"Hu!"
Taking a deep breath, his body and mind relaxed a lot. It was as if the burden that had been placed on his shoulders was lifted in an instant.
However, this relief only lasted for a moment. Xu Yourong looked at the incense under the stage, and more than half of it had been burned away. The amount of time that Xu Yourong had left for Chu Hen was less than two hours.
After all, Xu Yourong controlled more Rune than Xu Dingfeng. Although it was already a race against time, in terms of time, she still surpassed him.
"Chu Hen?" Xu Yourong's voice carried a trace of apology.
Chu Hen smiled, "Leave the rest to me!"
After he finished speaking, Chu Hen immediately began inscribing the part of his Rune.
"Buzz buzz!"
An unceasing flow of obscure energy fluctuations was transmitted from the Fine Steel Sword. Streams of dazzling inscriptions blossomed on the Sword Body, mysteriously resembling the ancient characters of the Secret Talisman.
Chu Hen didn't have much experience in refining, so it could be said that he had very little experience.
The only time was when Imperial Capital City's Pattern Master, Yu Da, Wen Hong, and Zhu Tong had completed the Big Dipper Artifact Pattern together.
However, that experience helped Chu Hen a lot.
After completing a difficult task, doing another relatively simple task would be much easier.
Compared to Big Dipper Artifact Pattern, Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern was still one or two ranks lower.
In addition, the support material had been infused with the crystal core of the Crazy Devil, causing the stability of the Rune to improve by a lot and making it easier to control.
There was another very important point, which was that the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern that Chu Hen was arranging was modified by Patriarch Lei Huan. The Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern was much more perfect. When it was carved, it was even smoother than Xu Dingfeng and Pei Feiming.
Even so, the difference of two levels between Chu Hen and Pei Feiming was an indisputable fact.
The difference in realms made Chu Hen's speed slow down very quickly.
"The time is running out. I'm getting impatient!"
The Great Clan Elder could not sit still, his eyes fixated on the situation on the Earth Fire Platform.
At this moment, he knew that he was wrong about Chu Hen. He felt somewhat guilty, but whether or not the other party was able to successfully arrange the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern or not, even he did not know.
The entire venue was silent!
Everyone's heart almost rose to their throats.
Xu Yourong tightly clenched her jade hands, her beautiful face was tense, and her eyebrows were lightly knitted.
She had to admit that when she saw Xu Dingfeng and Pei Feiming successfully finish the Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern, even if it was the moment she climbed onto the Earth Fire Platform with Chu Hen in despair, she believed that she would not have a chance to turn the tables again.
Now, Chu Hen gave her hope to save the situation.
Even though this hope wasn't too big, her heart was still filled with gratitude towards Chu Hen.
Time slipped away unknowingly, and the incense stick became shorter and shorter.
"There's less than an hour left!"
"Half an hour more."
"Only fifteen minutes left."
Everyone's gaze moved back and forth between Chu Hen and the incense table.
Some people hoped that the incense would burn a little slower.
There were also those who wished for the time to end as soon as possible.
The aura emitted by the Fine Steel Sword became increasingly stronger, and the Rune Chu Hen was controlling became fewer and fewer. Similarly, his speed also became slower and slower …
Finally!
The Miraculous Brightness Artifact Pattern only had one last stroke.
There was only a little bit of sparks left from the incense.
Chu Hen had already started a race against time. At this moment, everyone in the stadium had their heartstrings broken and every nerve was in an extremely tense state.
Xu Hao, Great Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder, all of the higher ups of the Xu Family frowned. At this moment, Pei Feiming had already put away his frivolous playfulness.
Of course, only Xu Dingfeng and Xu Yourong were the most anxious.
What was the result?
It had to do with which family the head of the family fell to!
At this moment, the last spark in the incense stick within the cauldron dimmed, and a faint wisp of green smoke stealthily drifted away.
It was extinguished. Time was up!
Along with the 'extinguished', there were many other members of the clan who stood by Xu Yourong's side.
Many regretful expressions immediately appeared on the faces of the crowd.
In the end, she still failed!
As for Xu Dingfeng, the Second Elder, and the Third Elder, they all had complacent smiles on their faces.
However, almost in the next instant when everyone's emotions relaxed, the wisp of green smoke had yet to completely disperse, a bright and beautiful sharp artifact mark that was akin to a bright flowing light in the night sky drew a vigorous and sharp mark on the steel Sword Body.
