Lin clan.
"Ah-Zhong, what's going on?" Lin Yan frowned slightly.
"I'm curious too." Lin Zhen laughed heartily. "Ah-Zhong, you've always been calm and collected when you do things. If you were to tell me that you made a mistake by placing an artificer apprentice who was supposed to be ranked near 4,000 at the 100th place, I wouldn't believe it no matter what."
Lin Zhong smiled. "Clan Leader, you're wise."
Lin Zhong looked at Lin Yan and nodded. "Master, this disciple acted on his own accord. Please don't take offense."
"Mm." Lin Yan stroked his long beard. "Ah-Zhong, did you discover something?"
A glint flashed across Lin Zhong's honest face. "I won't hide it from Master and Clan Leader. There's indeed something fishy about this because I discovered that Lin Feng might very well … possess the dual pupils of the 'Imitation Type'!"
"Oh?" Lin Zhen and Lin Yan were surprised.
"What's going on?" Lin Yan's interest was immediately piqued.
"Yes, tell me in detail." Lin Zhen nodded.
Lin Zhong wasn't surprised. A light flashed in his hand, and he said seriously, "Clan Leader, Master, you'll understand after you watch this video."
…
One on the left, one on the right.
Lin Zhen and Lin Yan sat side by side, looking at the light screen in front of them.
"He's that 'Lin Feng'?" Lin Zhen nodded thoughtfully with a glint between his brows.
The video wasn't in a good position. It only captured the side of Lin Feng's face. Even so, they could still determine Lin Feng's age from his skin, the corners of his eyes, and hair. He was indeed only in his early twenties. Lin Feng was currently refining a 'sword embryo' in the video. His movements were extremely 'ugly'.
"Sigh …" Lin Yan pursed his lips and frowned.
This wasn't the first time he saw this video. He had seen it during Lin Feng's test.
It was a complete mess! Ridiculous! That day, after giving the two evaluations, Lin Yan left in a huff. In his opinion, Lin Feng was simply squandering his talent!
"Indeed … it's nothing much," Seeing Lin Feng's final sword embryo, Lin Zhen commented.
Everyone in the Lin family was a Weapon Refiner. Although Lin Zhen's attainments in Weapon Refining were not as good as Lin Yan's, he was still worthy of the title of Weapon Refining Grandmaster. Seeing Lin Feng's inferior technique, he frowned and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at their expressions, Lin Zhong smiled and said, "Refining techniques are not the main point. Patriarch, Master, continue watching."
In an instant —
The scene changed, and the process of a bald man refining the sword embryo was shown.
Lin Zhen and Lin Yan were puzzled at first, but as the bald man began to refine, their eyes widened and they held their breaths.
Three seconds, five seconds, seven seconds!
The sword embryo was formed!
"Pa!" The scene froze at that second.
As the bald man finished refining the sword embryo, Lin Zhen and Lin Yan's eyes lit up.
"The flame's temperature, angle, intensity, and every refining process … it's exactly the same," Lin Yan said in a deep voice.
"That's nothing. Practice makes perfect. However, even the basic mistakes, such as raising the wrist, changing the flame, connecting, and so on, are exactly the same!" Lin Zhen's eyes flickered thoughtfully. "That's too strange!"
Even if he was learning, he couldn't have learned the mistakes together, right?
One mistake could be a coincidence, but if every mistake was the same, then there was a big problem.
…
…
Apprentice Square.
"It's true. Teacher, I heard it too," the young man on Jing Youyou's left said seriously.
"Me too!" The woman on Jing Youyou's right raised her hand and said.
Everyone echoed, causing Li Hao, who was beside Lin Feng, to be puzzled. Did Lin Feng say anything just now?
"Maybe I was too engrossed and didn't notice." Li Hao didn't think too much.
"You only know how to blabber and act like a hero." Liu Yikai snorted coldly. He had lost face after being compared to Lin Feng twice, so he couldn't help but feel angry. "If you have the ability, then go up and give it a try. Let everyone see if you really have the ability."
"That's right!"
…
Everyone's gaze converged. Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh softly.
He glanced at Jing Youyou, who had a crafty look in the corner of her eyes, but he felt helpless.
Women were indeed not easy to offend.
"Since you're so confident, then come up and give it a try." Lin Lengmo was the calmest one. Her eyes were focused on Lin Feng. However, she was also curious. What kind of ability did this seemingly ordinary young man have?
Was he related to the Lin clan, or did he have a special ability?
Why did her master insist on putting him in the first group?
Lin Lengmo also wanted to know the answer.
As for whether Lin Feng had said anything or not, that was secondary.
"No." Lin Feng shook his head and declined.
His voice was calm, but it was instantly filled with mocking laughter.
"Tsk, I thought he was strong, but he only knows how to talk. What a coward."
"That's right. Although Liu Yikai failed, he still tried. He gave up without even thinking. What a coward."
"Don't say that. Comparing someone who came in through the back door with the number one of our group, Liu Yikai, isn't overestimating him? Is he worthy?"
…
Waves of mocking voices came one after another.
Listening to all kinds of voices, Lin Feng faintly smiled.
He never cared about this kind of gossip. So what if he succeeded? How would it help him?
Show off?
What's the point …
"Hmph." Liu Yikai disdainfully turned his head away.
Jing Youyou turned around, pinched her nose, and pointed at her face at Lin Feng.
"Okay, quiet." Lin Lengmo looked around and said lightly, "What right do you have to talk about others? No matter if it's the number one or the hundredth, everyone will be treated equally here. There will be no privileges. Only apprentices who perform well will have special rewards. "
"In the first round, the first one to pass the test can enter the 'Time Engraving Array' to cultivate for half of the remaining three months."
"And the other half of the time, the assistant mentor will guide you one-on-one to improve your refining level."
In an instant, everyone was in an uproar.
Even Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and his heart moved.
'Time Engraving Array' with a hundredfold rate?!
The cultivation effect was probably better than when he was in the 'Land of Wood Spirit' in Yanling Prefecture!
Perhaps the time multiplier was slightly inferior, but the density of spirit energy here was much higher than in Yanling Prefecture. The cultivation effect was incomparable.
However …
"Assistant mentor, one-on-one guidance?" Lin Feng was puzzled.
At this time, other apprentices who had the same question raised their hands and asked, "Mentor, who is the assistant mentor?"
"You will naturally know when the time comes." Lin Lengmo said lightly, "What I can tell you is that the assistant mentor is not inferior to me in terms of refining knowledge, ability, and foundation. And one-on-one guidance can greatly improve your deficiencies and teach according to your aptitude. I don't need to say more about the benefits. "
Lin Feng nodded.
Just like cultivation, one would cultivate with the masses.
On the other hand, under the guidance of his master, he had improved meticulously in every aspect. Naturally, there was no comparison.
"Mentor, can I take the test anytime within the three months?" Jing Youyou stood up and asked curiously.
"No." Lin Lengmo shook her head slowly. "Everyone only has three chances to apply for the 'early test.' Not only for the first round, the second, third, and fourth round are all the same." Lin Lengmo paused and looked at Liu Yikai. "For example, he has already lost his first chance."
"Hiss ~ ~" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Liu Yikai's face turned pale, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.
However, since Lin Lengmo said it, it was impossible to take it back.
He could only sigh at his own bad luck.
Everyone looked at Lin Feng and secretly thought that Lin Feng's luck was good. He was not like Liu Yikai, who had cut off his own arm before the test began.
"The second person to pass the test can use one-fourth of the remaining three months to enter the 'Time Engraving Array' to cultivate."
"And one-fourth of the time, the assistant mentor will give one-on-one guidance."
"The third person to pass the test …"
… …
Lin Lengmo said it calmly, but it made everyone's blood boil.
The originally low morale instantly soared. Everyone's eyes were filled with dense sparks.
It was quite encouraging!
"A slap in the face and a date to eat." Lin Feng smiled faintly.
But he had to admit that this move was quite useful. It not only subdued this group of 'proud' apprentices, but also aroused their fighting spirit. Without thinking, one could guess that in these three months, no, one year, in order to obtain the reward, everyone would do their best to fight for it.
This kind of healthy competition was quite helpful in improving one's strength.
But for himself …
"Hmm, should I go or not?" Lin Feng muttered and fell into deep thought.
He had seen the refining skills that Lin Lengmo used just now. Although it was difficult, he should have a 50% chance of success.
Whether he could succeed or not, he would only know after trying. The key was …
Whether it was worth it or not.
… …
"Lin Feng!" Li Hao's eyes lit up, and he leaned over.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng replied softly.
"Hey, the 'Time Engraving Array' with a hundred-fold rate." Li Hao blinked. "I heard that it's Master Yan Qing's authentic work. I really want to see it!"
"You're also interested in the Time Engraving Array?" Lin Feng smiled.
"More than that …" Li Hao chuckled. "I'm involved in both alchemy and star talisman masters. There's no harm in having more skills!"
"Be careful not to eat too much." Lin Feng smiled and shook his head.
Sometimes, learning more might not be a good thing. It was better to specialize in something.
After all, a person's time and energy were limited.
"Aren't I making a choice?" Li Hao said casually. "I'm seeing which sub-profession suits me the most. Anyway, I'm still an apprentice now. It's still early."
Lin Feng smiled indifferently.
Everyone had their own path to walk, and it was inconvenient for him to interfere.
But …
"It's true that there's no harm in having more skills. The 'Time Engraving Array' with a hundred-fold rate is Master Yan Qing's masterpiece." Lin Feng's eyes sparkled, and he nodded thoughtfully. "If I can learn it, there's no harm in it."
Others had to spend time, but it was different for him.
Moreover, compared to the other sub-professions, the Time Engraving Array was different.
As long as he saw the Time Engraving Array, he could 'copy' it!
At this moment —
Lin Lengmo's voice slowly sounded. "Okay, these are the rules of the apprentice square. Does anyone have any questions? If not …"
"Training officially begins."
