At the very least, he could judge Lin Yun's current rank through the combination of his senses and his previous judgement.
And that kind of judgement was the reaction of Extraordinary Power, it absolutely couldn't be wrong. Zeith was a bit dazed. He tried to convince himself that his Extraordinary Power was wrong, because no one would believe that he hadn't advanced to the 2nd Rank of the Heaven Rank in half a year, it was too scary.
As he recalled the results of his discussion with the Starry Sky College's Artisans, Zeith was stunned.
Lin Yun's method of researching truth runes was completely different from the first three months. Zeith and a few Artisans pondered that Lin Yun was searching for the most suitable research method for himself.
They couldn't be sure how many truth runes he researched in the first three months, but they could guess the approximate number from the data recorded by Lin Yun in the last three months.
And the result of the guess startled everyone. A conservative estimate was 900 truth runes, some of which were the mysteries of truth runes that the Starry Sky College had already grasped, but there was still a lot of crucial data that the Starry Sky College's Artisans couldn't speculate.
Through this, they could only make a guess. They simply couldn't determine the approximate number because there were too few clues.
Zeith recalled his previous conjecture and looked at Lin Yun's current rank and was thoroughly stunned. Not only did he research at least 900 truth runes, but he also advanced again in half a year. This was a complete monster.
Zeith was a bit stunned, but the others were different. Those Artisans researching truth runes simply didn't know how many truth runes Lin Yun had researched, nor could they sense that Lin Yun had advanced once again.
For example, Layford simply couldn't sense this. He could sense that Lin Yun's strength hadn't changed since half a year ago, because he couldn't sense the Extraordinary Power within Lin Yun's body. His perception simply couldn't break through Lin Yun's shield.
Seeing Lin Yun, Layford sneered and slowly walked towards Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, I didn't expect you to have the face to come out. Have you researched 100 truth runes in such a long time? Before it was over, she hid in her room and cried.
If your research is too little, say something. If you beg me, I might be merciful and tell you a little bit of the secret I've researched. "
Layford had a proud expression. This was the first time he came here, because when the Starry Sky College's gathering was held, the other Artisans of the Jackson Family had come. He had almost never been in Noscent.
More importantly, they could only obtain the greatest harvest the first time they came to study the truth runes. As long as these forces didn't lack Artisans, they wouldn't let an Artisan come twice in a row.
After all, the first time they researched the truth runes, they would gain the most benefits. On their second visit, they might be able to research a few dozen truth runes, which would be considered pretty good.
Layford was holding a crystal plate with countless runes roaming on it, as well as a large amount of data frantically flickering.
Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Layford and didn't feel like paying attention to him. The Starry Sky College definitely wouldn't sit by and watch anyone fight in this space. Lin Yun had yet to advance to the Heaven Rank half a year ago, but he had already been able to resist the dark curse mage Layford for a very long time.
Now that he had advanced to the 2nd Rank of the Heaven realm, he was 100% certain that he could get rid of Layford. Since he couldn't make a move now, he didn't feel like paying attention to him.
Seeing that Lin Yun wasn't talking, Layford became even more spirited.
"Mafa Merlin, why aren't you talking? Isn't it said that you are very proficient in the field of alchemy? Moreover, whether it is potioneering, Magic Tools, puppeteering, or arrays, you are proficient in everything.
"Ah, that's truly admirable. Then you must have researched at least 500 truth runes this time, right?"
Layford said that, but undisguised disdain and ridicule could be seen on his face.
As for the other Artisans in the surroundings, they had already stopped their research. Half a year had already passed and the Starry Sky College had already notified them that the spatial shift would start soon and they would leave this space.
At this time, no one went to discuss the matter of truth runes with others. They had just finished their research and it still wasn't the right time. They would wait until the gathering was over and the Artisans with good relationships would gather together to discuss truth runes.
A group of people looked over. Most of the Artisans were indifferently watching from the sidelines. The Odin Kingdom's Artisans were sneering with disdain.
They had all seen Lin Yun's actions in the past six months and no one took Lin Yun seriously. After all, even if they didn't know how many truth runes Lin Yun had researched, they could roughly guess how good or bad it was based on his performance.
Undoubtedly, when these Artisans saw Lin Yun's performance in the past half a year, they would think that Lin Yun hadn't researched many truth runes.
The two Artisans of the Mosh Family had disdainful expressions while Gurrig was indifferently watching from the sidelines. It seemed that he looked down on Layford and Lin Yun with indifferent disdain.
Albert raised his head and glanced at Lin Yun before sneering and continuing to look at the crystal ball in his hand.
Raphael frowned, hesitation visible on his face.
'Sir Mafa really didn't research many truth runes, right? That shouldn't be the case, Sir Mafa's attainments in the field of alchemy should be a lot higher than mine. I already researched 108 truth runes …'
Not far away, Zeith was calmly standing there, simply not caring about this matter. His duty was only to ensure that no one would make a move here. As for these Artisans, even if they cursed like shrews, he wouldn't interfere. But now, he was looking at Layford with a bit of sympathy, as if he was looking at an idiot.
'The Jackson Family is really becoming more and more idiots. According to our speculations, Mafa Merlin should have researched at least 900 truth runes this time, how many did he research?
'Oh sh * t, I forgot to use the crystal ball to record him, but he should have at most a hundred, and most of them might have already been mastered by the school.
'That kind of idiot actually thinks that Mafa Merlin's research is less than his, he is even more stupid than the stupidest rats in the wasteland outside the city. At the very least, even the stupidest rats know not to provoke lifeforms stronger than themselves.
Lin Yun was wondering if he should copy all the truth runes he comprehended to the Starry Sky College when Layford came over once again. After confirming that Lin Yun had researched very few truth runes, he held the crystal plate in his hand and rapidly moved it a few times before moving in front of Lin Yun.
"Mafa Merlin, with your strength, you can definitely answer my question. Such a simple question definitely wouldn't stump you. Didn't you want me to answer your question last time? Now that I've given you the answer, you should also answer my question."
Layford had a mocking expression as the crystal plate emitted rays of light before projecting a ten-meter-big curtain of light in the air. There was a large amount of data and formulas on it, but many key areas were blank.
These were all alchemy problems, and they were all problems obtained from the research of truth runes.
The surrounding Artisans looked at the screen of light and many of them revealed astonished expressions.
Surprise flashed in Gurrig's eyes, he had clearly discovered something different. On the side, Albert raised his head and countless pieces of data rapidly flashed within the crystal ball in his hand.
"Eh? That Layford, to be able to ask these questions, he must have researched over 250 truth runes …"
Albert's words made Layford even prouder. Over 250 truth runes could already be considered one of the top runes this time. After all, it wasn't the first time that most of them had come here, yet they hadn't researched as many truth runes as Layford.
It was his first time researching, and he had managed to create more than 250 truth runes. This was already a very good result.
Seeing everyone's expressions, the mocking smile on Layford's face became even more brilliant.
'That fool Mafa Merlin, I'll make you lose face in front of everyone. You'll die once you leave the Starry Sky College, but before that, I'll make you lose face in front of the entire Odin Kingdom.
'The Artisans here represent many major forces of the Odin Kingdom, I'll let everyone see how stupid this Andalusia country bumpkin is …'
"Mafa Merlin, I'm asking you for guidance. Don't tell me that you don't even want to answer my question?"
Layford said that he was asking for guidance, but everyone could see that he wanted to use the truth runes he comprehended to humiliate Lin Yun.
Lin Yun indifferently glanced at Layford. He originally wanted to hide his abilities. In any case, the Starry Sky College definitely didn't know how much he comprehended, so he would copy a bit less. In any case, the Starry Sky College wouldn't have much use for him in exchange, so he might as well not take it.
But now …
Lin Yun opened his mouth and spat out a few law runes. In an instant, a ten-meter-tall curtain of light appeared in the air and countless data and formulas rapidly appeared on it.
Then, right next to this light screen, light screens appeared one after another …
In less than ten seconds, a total of twenty-three ten-meter-tall curtains of light appeared in the air. Each curtain of light was filled with data and formulas. Moreover, the largest character was the size of a child's fist. The densely packed characters could make people dizzy.
Layford was stunned after these twenty-three curtains of light appeared. He foolishly looked at them. Each curtain of light had the solution to a difficult problem, and there were detailed steps to solve it. How each problem was calculated, what formulas were used, what deduction process was involved, it couldn't be more detailed.
But because it was too detailed, Layford was at a loss.
Because apart from the final answer being correct, he simply couldn't understand the process.
In an instant, the expressions of all the Artisans changed. The other Artisans started looking at Lin Yun. Lin Yun answering these difficult problems meant that Lin Yun had researched at least as many truth runes as Layford.
Researching two to three hundred truth runes on his first time researching truth runes could be considered a pretty good result.
But the expressions of the two Artisans of the Mosh Family, Gurrig of the Hauss Family and Albert of the Einstein Family suddenly turned serious.
This wasn't their first time researching truth runes. They had researched more than five to six hundred truth runes in total. They were the ones who had researched the most truth runes among these Artisans.
They could understand some of the steps and calculations Lin Yun used to solve the difficult problems, but only by understanding some could they feel how terrifying it was.
Because this could only mean one thing: Lin Yun had researched more truth runes than them!
Suddenly, these four Artisans with the highest alchemy attainments looked at Lin Yun with solemn expressions.
And not far from them, Zeith's pupils shrank to their limits, his eyes filled with unconcealable shock.
'Unification Formula … Limit Formula …
'Feltis Effect's core parameters … Spatial Waveband Calculation Method …
'Damnit, how could Mafa Merlin know so much? He definitely couldn't have researched only nine hundred truth runes. No, it's absolutely impossible, researching the mysteries contained within nine hundred truth runes is absolutely impossible.
'Moreover, the speed of his calculations didn't even last ten seconds. Not only did he calculate the results, but he even listed out the detailed steps.
'Damnit, we were all wrong, he comprehended at least sixteen hundred truth runes, no, he might even have comprehended over seventeen hundred truth runes.
'Such detailed steps … I already came into contact with all the information related to truth runes in the college, but there are still some parts I can't understand. There are some data and formulas I have never seen before …
'Heavens, this guy … This guy …'
Zeith was suffocating from fright. It was his first time researching truth runes, yet he actually researched at least sixteen hundred truth runes in half a year. This already broke the Starry Sky College's record.
'And he didn't just break the record, he even surpassed it by a few times …'
Lin Yun turned around and looked at Layford as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Layford, do you understand now? I already listed out the detailed steps. "
Layford's face turned red as he foolishly looked at the twenty-three screens of light, unable to say a word.
'What should I say? 'That I can't understand the process apart from the results?' They were all Artisans, he couldn't act shamelessly even if he wanted to.
Next to Lin Yun, Raphael only glanced at the complicated data before revealing a pleasantly surprised expression. He then burst into laughter as he looked at Layford.
"Sir Layford, I only comprehended a hundred truth runes, but I can't understand them at all. You definitely comprehended more than me, so you should be able to understand them with a glance. Can you explain it to me?
"Sir Mafa has already listed out such detailed steps, I believe you wouldn't be stingy to explain them to me."
Layford stood there with a dark expression, not saying a word, not paying attention to Raphael.
Even if the others were slow, they understood what was going on.
Layford still wanted to use truth runes to humiliate Lin Yun, but he hadn't expected that he would be humiliated by Lin Yun instead. Moreover, he was humiliated mercilessly.
As an Artisan, the other side listed out the detailed steps, but he couldn't understand them. There was nothing more shameful than this.
Even if most of the Artisans here couldn't understand them, Layford was the one being humiliated. A few Artisans were even looking at Layford with unfriendly expressions. Fortunately, he didn't say anything. If he did, wouldn't the others be humiliated along with him?
After the farce ended, Zeith looked at Lin Yun with a strange expression. He led everyone to the teleportation location and calmly waited for the teleportation to start.
Layford had been humiliated in front of so many Artisans. He might become a joke in the alchemist circle after the gathering ended. No Artisan would cooperate with him in the future because their intelligence would be dragged down.
Layford lowered his head and remained silent. His expression was extremely dark as he stood at the back of the crowd, gnashing his teeth as he stared at Lin Yun 'back.
'That damned Mafa Merlin, how did he do it? Damn, could it be that the legends are true? His alchemy attainments are terrifying?
'I can't even understand a single one of those detailed steps. That guy definitely did it on purpose. He pretended that he hadn't researched many truth runes to humiliate me.
'He must have comprehended a lot more truth runes than me. He might have already comprehended over a thousand truth runes. Damn, that damned guy actually comprehended so many truth runes.
'If the mysteries contained within these truth runes were transformed into alchemy products in my hands, I would be able to research at least thirty unique products.
'Whether it's potions or Magic Tools, each of them would be enough to support an alchemy shop.
'If I copied the mysteries of these truth runes and handed them over to the Starry Sky College, I would be able to exchange them for ten years of the Jackson Family's income. No, I might even be able to exchange them for a plane. That would be a steady stream of income that would increase the Jackson Family's assets by 20%.
'As for me, I might be able to rely on this to enter the Elder Council and become a top member of the Jackson Family.
The more Layford thought about it, the more greedy he became. He wanted to snatch what Lin Yun comprehended. Those steps that he couldn't understand were like the tip of a mountain of gold in front of him.
It was obviously a problem a bit more difficult than 1 + 1 = 2, but Lin Yun used advanced mathematics to solve it. The final result was the same, but it would be strange if he could understand the steps.
