Pleasant music sounded and the air was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance, giving people a calming feeling. ±
Thousands of examinees struggled to climb out of the eggshell, their faces full of exhaustion and haggard.
Many people sighed and shook their heads again and again.
Some people let out a relieved groan and walked toward the rest area in twos and threes.
"This year's exam questions are too difficult. I only finished 70% of the questions in the end. I'm afraid I can't pass the exam!"
"Yes, these questions are getting more and more perverted year after year!"
"I'm okay. I got two big questions right. I reviewed the same type of questions in advance. Maybe I can get 600 points."
"That monster Jiang Shaoyang is so exaggerated. He handed in the paper more than an hour in advance. I wonder how many points he can get. Will he get more than 800 points?"
"Jiang Shaoyang's score is normal, but there is another guy who handed in the paper at the same time as him. Who is that?"
"Shaoyang!"
Dozens of examinees from Deep Sea University who had excellent results naturally walked toward Jiang Shaoyang. Seeing him sitting on the chair in a daze, they came up to greet him.
"This is..."
When they saw Jiang Shaoyang's hands spread out on the coffee table, they all took a breath of cold air.
Jiang Shaoyang's hands were red and swollen, swollen by 30% compared to their normal state. They were steaming hot, as if they had just been put into a steamer.
"What's going on?"
Everyone turned pale with fright.
"It's nothing. I haven't had this much fun in a long time."
Jiang Shaoyang sighed. His slightly sluggish expression instantly turned into intense excitement. His eyes were bright and full of expression, as if two sparkling gems were embedded in his eye sockets.
"Hey, do you guys know..."
There were still some examinees from Deep Sea University who didn't know what was going on. They just saw a lot of students gathered here. So they also gathered around.
One of them beamed with joy and said with a smile, "Wasn't there a guy who handed in the paper at the same time as Shaoyang? I just heard that it was Li Yao!"
"What?"
This time. Everyone was amused.
The more mature students couldn't help but laugh. The more frivolous ones even laughed, "No way. That guy is Li Yao, the one who claimed to challenge us? That's ridiculous. He couldn't even last five hours of the written test and gave up halfway! "
Li Yao, carrying a large bucket, calmly walked over. He turned a blind eye to the hundreds of examinees from Deep Sea University and inserted himself into the crowd.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Countless sharp gazes. It instantly pierced through him.
No one expected this guy to be so daring. After saying such nonsense, he still dared to go deep into the encirclement of hundreds of "enemies".
Although he had heard that Li Yao was very good at fighting, everyone here was a refiner. They were all refined people who didn't fight.
But at the very least … she could use her gaze to despise him, mock him, and tease him, right?
"What is this guy doing here?"
"I don't know. He's carrying something in his hand. It's cold."
"I heard that this guy is very violent. Could it be that he's here to pick a fight with us? Go find the invigilator! "
Li Yao was like a bloodthirsty shark. As he patrolled the deep sea, the small fishes and shrimps all made way for him. No one dared to block his path for even half a second.
"Crash!"
Li Yao went straight to the front of Jiang Shaoyang and poured a large bucket of ice on the coffee table. He then sat down and inserted his hands into the ice mountain. He let out an extremely comfortable sigh.
His hands were the same as Jiang Shaoyang's. They were red, swollen, and steaming hot.
Jiang Shaoyang inserted his hands into the ice mountain to cool them down. At the same time, he stared at Li Yao and said:
"Among my peers. I have never met an expert like you. Today's battle was very satisfying. However, after fighting for half a day, it's still a tie. It's really a pity! "
"Fortunately, the Refiners' Registration Examination also has three rounds. It's just enough for us to determine the winner."
As soon as these words came out, all the examinees from Deep Sea University were dumbstruck and turned into puppets.
Everyone appeared to be in a daze on the outside, but their hearts were in turmoil.
"Did, did I hear it wrong?"
"It turns out that the expert Jiang Shaoyang was talking about is Li Yao!"
"It seems that Jiang Shaoyang has already fought with him, and the two of them were actually tied."
"This Li Yao's strength is actually on par with the Tenth Star, Jiang Shaoyang?"
For a moment, the hundreds of gazes that were cast at Li Yao changed from disdain, contempt, and ridicule to astonishment, fear, and shock!
At this moment, several faint exclamations suddenly sounded from all directions.
The hall, which was still slightly noisy a moment ago, was dead silent in a flash.
A huge hologram appeared on the dome of the semicircular dome, projecting the scores of thousands of examinees one by one.
The names and scores of examinees with more than 600 points were all displayed in brilliant golden runes.
The names and scores of examinees with less than 600 points were displayed in slightly dim green runes.
Among the large number of green numbers, there were sparse golden numbers.
Most of the golden numbers stopped between 600 and 700 points. There were very few who could break through 700 points.
Among all the numbers, there were two numbers that started with "9". They stood out from the crowd and were particularly dazzling.
"Deep Sea University, Jiang Shaoyang, 931 points!"
"Grand Desolate War Institution, Li Yao, 901 points!"
"Huo!"
The hall, which had been silent for ten seconds, was like a dreary ocean before the arrival of a storm. After the strange silence, surging energy burst out!
"Jiang Shaoyang scored 931 points. He really deserves to be … What? Someone else also scored 900 points or more? Li Yao? This is impossible! "
"Li Yao! Li Yao from the Grand Desolate War Institution! Isn't he that ignorant and fearless madman? He actually scored 900 points or more! "
"I remember that this guy handed in his paper at the same time as Jiang Shaoyang. Both of them were more than an hour in advance. I didn't expect him to be so strong. No wonder he dared to speak so arrogantly!"
"Monster! Both of them are monsters! "
The examinees of Deep Sea University received an incomparably strong blow.
They looked at their own pitiful 600 to 700 points and looked at Li Yao's shining 901 points again and again. They couldn't believe it. They asked themselves again and again in their hearts, 'Is there something wrong with my eyes and ears at the same time?'
"First round. You win. "
Li Yao calmly said. He was not surprised by this result.
He came from an unorthodox background. In terms of theoretical solidity, it was impossible for him to surpass Jiang Shaoyang, who was a genius from the academic school.
A gap of 30 points was very normal.
"I won with an unfair advantage."
Jiang Shaoyang calmly admitted, "The people who came up with the questions. Many of them are from the department of Deep Sea University. I am very familiar with their style of coming up with questions. It is natural for me to score 900 points or more. And you, who came from the Grand Desolate War Institution, whose refining philosophy is different, can actually score 900 points or more? "
"Strong! You are really strong! "
"I am more and more looking forward to the next two rounds of competition. I want to thoroughly defeat a strong person like you!"
There was not much time to rest between the three rounds of the Refiners' Registration Examination.
This was a competition of knowledge and skills. It was also a competition of spirit and will.
After the results of the first round of written examination were announced, the examinees who failed the examination quietly left under the command of the military and went to the guest house specially prepared by the military to rest.
The remaining 844 examinees re-entered the examination hall and once again sat in the eggshell-shaped examination cabins.
As the runes on the eggshell lit up one by one, the examination cabins sank into the ground, bringing the examinees into a huge underground base.
In a huge training room, thousands of crafting furnace simulators were neatly arranged.
This kind of simulator. It was a ring-shaped control interface composed of only a dozen holograms. It was not connected to the crafting furnace system that occupied a huge area.
A crystal processor with super computing power. It could simulate all kinds of complicated situations that occurred in the crafting furnace. It could even simulate thousands of intricate and complicated faults.
And what the examinees had to do was to eliminate all the faults and complete hundreds of crafting tasks.
Every time a task was successfully completed, the examinees would obtain the corresponding points, which would automatically accumulate. Completing 1000 points within 5 hours would be considered as passing the second round and entering the final round of the "Practical Test".
"Beep!"
In front of Li Yao, the ring-shaped control interface slowly unfolded like a butterfly's gorgeous wings.
The second round. The crafting simulation test began!
In the blink of an eye, the control interface that was still light green a moment ago turned into a burning orange color. The various performance indicators crazily jumped, suddenly soaring to the limit and suddenly falling to zero.
A scarlet red prompt message suddenly popped up, indicating that this crafting furnace was on the verge of exploding!
The first test was to find out the reason why the crafting furnace was about to explode. Through the control interface, eliminate all faults and restore the furnace to normal!
The first test was an extremely difficult one, causing many examinees to cry out in despair.
However, Li Yao's fighting spirit soared. His slightly red and swollen hands seemed to be entwined with the flames of a red lotus!
In the monitoring room, more than a dozen holograms were displaying the crafting scenes of Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang.
Although the styles and techniques of the two were different, they had one thing in common.
Fast, as fast as lightning!
The three experienced and knowledgeable craftsmen did not say a word. They quietly watched the peak confrontation between the two monster-level examinees. They watched until they were dripping with sweat. Their hearts were unable to calm down for a long time.
When the two entered a state of madness and their hand speed soared to the limit, Dong Liuqi finally could not bear it anymore. His six fingers wiped the cold sweat as he groaned:
"Nowadays, young people are really amazing. Both of them are not over 20 years old, right?"
"If it was me who was 20 years old, even ten of me would not be enough to fill their teeth!"
In the mainframe crystal processor, the two's points were converted into two progress bars, which were displayed in front of the three examiners in a very intuitive manner.
As the tasks were completed one after another, the two's progress bars were chasing each other at an extremely fast speed!
Finally —
Three hours, fifty-two minutes, and thirty-seven seconds later, Li Yao's progress bar suddenly soared, breaking through the finish line and taking the lead to obtain 1,000 points!
Two minutes and nine seconds later, Jiang Shaoyang's progress bar slowly appeared.
"You have won the second round."
In the simulation training room, countless examinees were still immersed in the intricate tasks and were unable to extricate themselves. They were so busy that their hands and feet were cramping and foaming at the mouth.
Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang, however, were quietly confronting each other.
"In the previous two rounds, we tied again."
"However, you and I are very clear that whether it is the written test or the refining simulation, they are just boring games."
