"239 points …" Lin Feng softly read.
His gaze swept across the screen, and he quickly found the list with 230-240 points.
His ranking had already fallen to 4000, and he was only in the middle of the ten thousand blacksmith apprentices. However, Lin Feng was already satisfied with this result. It was already commendable that he was able to pass the examination with the blacksmithing skills he secretly learned at the last minute.
"Hmm?"
"Why isn't my name there?"
Looking at the screen in surprise, Lin Feng continuously scanned the list with 238-240 points.
He stared at it again and again, but where was the name 'Lin Feng'?
"Strange …" Lin Feng was secretly puzzled.
Suddenly — —
"F * ck, who is that Lin Feng that's ranked 100th!" A flustered and exasperated voice suddenly rang out. A young man with a crew cut pointed at the screen with a ferocious expression. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Everyone who heard the voice looked over, and in a split second, there was a lot of discussion.
"Eh?" Lin Feng was startled.
When he suddenly heard his name, his gaze immediately glanced at the front of the screen, and his eyes suddenly brightened.
In the 100th place, he actually found his name!
"It can't be?" Lin Feng was a little confused.
"99: Wu Ya, 272 points."
"100: Lin Feng, 239 points."
"101: Jia Fei, 271 points."
… …
Looking at the names and rankings on the screen, Lin Feng didn't know what expression to show.
Confusion? Joy?
"There should be a mistake, right?" Lin Feng secretly said.
In the middle of a group of names with 270 points, his 239 points was quite eye-catching. It was as if an adult had mixed in with a group of children, completely out of place. It was no wonder that everyone around him was talking about him, and his name was constantly being mentioned.
Inexplicably, he became very 'high-profile'.
"Instructor, is there a mistake in the ranking?" The crew cut young man impatiently asked.
Lin Feng smiled in a carefree manner. Just as he had this thought, 'Jia Fei', who was ranked 101st, was already anxious and impatient to ask about it. Although there was only a difference of one position between the 100th and 101st place, it was the difference between the first group and the second group.
The difference was huge.
How could he not be anxious?
"Do you think an Earth rank blacksmith would make a mistake in the ranking?" The instructor's voice was neither servile nor overbearing, very calm.
This sentence made the crew cut young man's face instantly deflate.
Refining was extremely complicated!
Every step was extremely meticulous.
Blacksmiths were most particular about attentiveness, how could they make such a simple ranking wrong?
Boom!
The Instructor's words, more than a thousand words.
Without a doubt, Lin Feng's position was confirmed. He was exactly at the 100th place!
There was no objection!
"Hey, do you know who that 'Lin Feng' is?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure that this Lin Feng must have some background. Maybe he's the son of some big family."
"I guessed so too. Impressive, even the Lin clan has to give him face. This' Lin Feng 'must have a big background, remember not to offend him."
… …
Everyone spoke one after another, and in an instant, the news spread throughout the hall.
Even the first and second place 'Liu Yi Kai' and 'Jing You You' were not as famous as Lin Feng's name.
However, the person involved had a bitter face and sighed softly.
There were only disadvantages!
"With such a big reputation, it's very inconvenient to do things." Lin Feng sighed inwardly.
When the time came, all eyes would be on him. It was indeed a troublesome matter.
If he had really come to learn how to refine weapons, this would be a happy occasion. But his purpose was to investigate his background and find his uncle 'Lin Jing'. He wanted to know what happened to his father that year! Now that everyone was paying attention to him, he obviously stood at the peak of the storm. How could he investigate and find him?
Most importantly … …
"Why did they raise my ranking by so much?"
"Did they recognize something?"
With doubts in his heart, Lin Feng was also afraid.
But now, there was nothing he could do.
"Let's walk and see."
"It's better to stay still."
Lin Feng nodded, already having a plan in his heart.
For now, he could only take one step at a time and see how things would develop.
Counter soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir.
… …
… …
The instructor of the first group, Lin Lengmo.
She was tall, like an ice rose, extremely cold and elegant.
A third grade weapon refiner!
She was the disciple of the earth-rank weapon refiner 'Lin Zhong', and also the one with the highest grade among the hundred instructors. At this moment, she was leading a group of a hundred apprentices to her residence. Unlike other instructors who would introduce themselves from time to time, Lin Lengmo was like her name, extremely 'cold'. She was stingy with her words.
However, the hundred Armament apprentices below were chatting enthusiastically.
After all, in the future, they would 'live' together and receive training.
It was naturally not a bad thing to have more friends.
Moreover, it was very normal for weapon refiners to exchange their experiences. There was no need to be stingy.
But there were also topics to talk about.
"Hey, hello, let's get to know each other." A young man in luxurious clothes took two steps back and said softly. "My name is Li Hao, just call me A Hao."
Then, he winked at Lin Feng. This' Li Hao 'was obviously very familiar with everyone and didn't mind strangers at all.
"Hello, Lin Feng." Smiling, Lin Feng politely replied.
The young man in front of him was similar in age to him and was also a Star Lord.
"Lin Feng?!" Li Hao's expression changed instantly as he exclaimed.
His voice was so loud that everyone in the group heard him. Everyone turned to look at Lin Feng and focused their attention on him. The fiery gazes were filled with curiosity and doubt. Lin Feng smiled bitterly. Suddenly, he felt a sharp light coming from the front of the group.
Even the teacher, Lin Lengmo, was looking at him with a cold expression, as if she was interested.
He was famous again!
"Yes, it's me," Lin Feng replied helplessly.
There were only a hundred people in a group. Anyway, people would find out sooner or later. It didn't matter.
As if sensing something wrong, Li Hao hurriedly covered his mouth. "Sorry, sorry. I was too surprised. I didn't expect the legendary 'Lin Feng' to be you."
Legendary?
Lin Feng nodded helplessly.
"Hey, just like what they said, you're a young master." Li Hao sized up Lin Feng with sparkling eyes. Suddenly, he frowned. "But … Lin Feng, you don't look like a disciple of a famous family." Clapping his hands, Li Hao suddenly understood. He whispered, "I know. Brother Lin Feng, you did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head. "No, I'm not from a famous family. I'm from the Yanling Prefecture."
"Ah, a Wildland warrior?!" Li Hao couldn't believe it.
"A Wildland warrior?" Lin Feng was curious.
"Hey, Lin Feng, you must be new here." Li Hao blinked and made a 'hush' gesture. "Don't tell others that you're from the Wildland. The humans of the Nine Provinces don't think highly of those Wildland warriors. However, I've heard of the 'Mystic Prefecture' and the 'Myriad Wheels Prefecture'. As for the Yanling Prefecture … Oh, this is the first time I've heard of it."
"I see." Lin Feng nodded thoughtfully.
The so-called Wildland should be referring to the 'Prefectures' outside the Nine Provinces.
In the Nine Provinces of the Southern Region, there were tens of thousands of 'Prefectures' around each of them. The Vermillion Bird Prefecture was no exception.
"Maybe the Yanling Prefecture is a bit far from here," Lin Feng said with a faint smile.
"Yes, I think so too." Li Hao nodded thoughtfully. He clicked his tongue and said, "However, there aren't many young Wildland warriors. The cultivation conditions there are far inferior to the Nine Provinces. I think Lin Feng's aptitude must be quite good."
"That's right." Lin Feng smiled and asked curiously, "But why do the humans of the Nine Provinces look down on Wildland warriors?"
"Tsk, they like to pretend," Li Hao said disdainfully. "They all think they're better than others."
"What about you?" Lin Feng laughed.
Li Hao patted his chest and said with his head held high, "I'm a man. Why would I stoop to the level of those mediocre people?"
"Is that so?" Lin Feng chuckled.
…
They chatted along the way, but it wasn't boring.
Li Hao had a straightforward personality and was not pretentious.
Lin Feng also asked him from time to time to familiarize himself with Shiluo Prefecture. After all, compared to Wan Mochou, Li Hao was born and raised in Shiluo Prefecture. He knew a lot of things in detail. Moreover, from the way he talked and dressed, it was obvious that his family background wasn't bad.
Soon —
"We're here," Lin Lengmo said.
Everyone immediately stopped. Lin Feng looked over and saw a valley.
All kinds of mushroom-like buildings stood around the valley, forming a circle. There were a total of 100 of them. Each 'mushroom' flickered with a faint light, and there seemed to be a strange energy flickering in the surroundings. It was divided into two colors, gold and silver. They intertwined and looked extremely beautiful.
These 'mushrooms' in the outermost area were the smallest existences in the valley.
There were also many buildings in the inner layer, some in the shape of a cone, some in the shape of an oval, and some in the shape of a rectangular cube.
In the center of the valley, there was a 'small valley' that occupied half the area. It was semi-circular and looked like a creeping giant beast.
It was very domineering!
"Pick a place to stay."
"Ten days later, gather at the entrance of the valley at seven o 'clock. The training will officially begin."
After saying that, Lin Lengmo turned and left.
Her cold and elegant figure gave people a cold feeling, and she was very arrogant.
"Let's go, Brother Lin Feng," Li Hao said with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded.
…
"Engraved Array?" Lin Feng was surprised.
"Yes, the gold color is the Star Gathering Engraved Array." Li Hao pointed at the 'mushroom' that flickered with a faint light and said with a smile, "Cultivating in the Star Gathering Engraved Array can double the sensitivity of the constellation. The silver color is the Time Engraved Array, and the time ratio is 1: 10.
"You can activate it with Star Energy, but you can only activate one type of Engraved Array at the same time."
Li Hao patted the door of the 'mushroom' and said with a smile, "You can stay here. It's convenient to be neighbors."
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded. It didn't matter.
Lin Feng curiously sized up the 'mushroom' in front of him. Then, he pushed the door open and entered.
The Land of the Nine Provinces was indeed completely different from the Yanling Estate. He was only an Apprentice Artificer, but the cultivation conditions were already so amazing.
It was true that different places had their own people.
Lin Feng smiled.
