At this time, only 31 minutes and 42 seconds had passed since the start of the third round of the test.
The three examiners were slightly surprised. They didn't expect Jiang Shaoyang to see through the two traps in the test so quickly and promptly raised his doubts to them.
Such eyesight, technique, familiarity with the materials, and quickness of thinking were all top-notch!
Zhu Yueqin smiled brightly and immediately said:
"Okay, we will immediately provide you with the Purple-Gold Titanium!"
This trap was originally just to confuse the examinees. Of course, it was impossible not to provide them with the Purple-Gold Titanium so that they couldn't complete the repair work.
According to the rules that only the three examiners knew, as long as the examinees boldly raised their doubts, they would be able to obtain the Purple-Gold Titanium.
The examinees who were able to break through the two tests and enter the final round were all outstanding refiners.
These two traps couldn't be hidden from everyone.
After more than an hour of careful examination, many people discovered the internal injury of the 22nd vertebra.
However, most of them fell for the second trap.
The Purple-Gold Titanium was a rare metal, and the accompanying Purple-Gold Titanium was a useless material that ordinary refiners wouldn't pay attention to.
The materials warehouse deliberately didn't label the names of the various materials in order to mislead the examinees and make them think that it was the real Purple-Gold Titanium.
Of course, after putting the accompanying Purple-Gold Titanium into the crafting furnace, the flame and spiritual energy reaction produced were completely different from the real Purple-Gold Titanium.
Most of the examinees didn't realize that there was a problem with the materials until this step and raised their doubts to the examiners.
These people all obtained the real Purple-Gold Titanium.
But a lot of precious time was wasted in vain.
There were also some people who didn't realize the trap of the 22nd vertebra from the beginning to the end. They were trying their best to solve the surface problems while sweating profusely. These people were destined to return in failure.
The scenes in the hundreds of repair workshops flashed on the hologram one by one.
The hologram in the center didn't change at all, showing the situation in the two repair workshops, respectively showing the two examinees who received the most attention.
The first one was naturally Jiang Shaoyang.
After obtaining the real Purple-Gold Titanium, he was meticulously refining, polishing, and repairing it with textbook perfect procedures and techniques.
His movements were like mercury flowing down the ground, airtight. There was also a kind of natural and smooth beauty.
Watching him refine artifacts was like drinking fine wine. It was pleasing to the eyes and was so wonderful that people couldn't bear to look away for even half a second.
The second was Li Yao.
Li Yao remained motionless as he sat cross-legged in the middle of the material warehouse, quietly pondering like an old monk.
The three examiners observed carefully and discovered that there was a faint white mist coming out of his head.
His brain. It was in the extreme state of ultra-high-speed operation.
"What is he doing? Why haven't you raised any questions? "
After the shocking performance of the first two rounds of examinations, even Zhu Yueqin, who disliked Li Yao the most, had an extremely high evaluation of his strength.
With the level he had displayed in the previous two rounds, these two little tricks would not be able to fool him at all.
He should have raised his doubts immediately. Why was he in a daze for so long?
The three examiners looked at each other, and ten thousand question marks appeared in their minds.
They did not realize that Li Yao was an unorthodox refiner from the Magic Treasure Graveyard. His way of thinking was the same as that of most normal refiners. There was a huge difference.
Other refiners, even geniuses like Jiang Shaoyang, had received orthodox academic education since childhood.
Only when the materials were ready could one start refining. This was a matter of course.
In the environment they grew up in, teachers, elders, and staff would naturally prepare all kinds of materials for them. Even if they couldn't find it in a short time, as long as they moved their fingers, they could buy it through the Spiritual Nexus.
For these normal refiners who grew up in a greenhouse, if they were missing a material, they would immediately get it. Was there a second choice?
Li Yao was different.
The cruel Magic Treasure Graveyard was not a peaceful campus. Even for a small piece of strengthened alloy, one could fight to the death. How could one gather all the materials and start the repair?
Use whatever you have. Even if you don't have anything, you can just use a wooden stick to make the magical equipment work. Even if it only works for three seconds, you might be able to use these three seconds to kill an enemy!
This was Li Yao's way of thinking.
Therefore, when he discovered that the most crucial Purple-Gold Titanium was missing from the materials, although he could see that it was a trap, he did not raise any questions.
In his opinion, since the third round was labeled as a "combat test", it was normal for various materials to be missing during a real battle.
Suppose he was in a temporary repair station at the front line, surrounded by demon beasts, and the Purple-Gold Titanium in the repair station had been used up. What should he do then?
Should he ask the demon beasts to stop fighting for half a day and wait for the rear to transport the Purple-Gold Titanium before the two sides start fighting again?
How could that be possible!
"I understand now. The real purpose of the third round of the test is to test our ability to adapt on the spot, to see if we can repair the Mystic Wolf without the Purple-Gold Titanium!"
"Sounds like it's quite difficult!"
"However, registered refiners are one of the most powerful professions in the world of cultivators. It is normal for the difficulty to be higher in the last round!"
Li Yao slapped his forehead, thinking that he had seen through everything.
He no longer hesitated and began to ponder with rapt attention.
Without the Purple-Gold Titanium, it was impossible to refine the 22nd vertebra. In the case of the missing vertebra, even if the Mystic Wolf was barely repaired, its agility and speed would be greatly reduced. It was simply impossible to restore 90% of its battle strength.
It seemed that he would have to display his deranged Magical Modification skill and make a huge change to the overall structure.
Li Yao licked his lips as the blood vessels in his eyes instantly turned into jumping flames. It was as if he had returned to those dark days when he was modifying the 1st Generation Tai'e crafting furnace.
Although the Mystic Wolf was a very classic lightweight warbeast, Li Yao was still quite critical of its refinement process and structural design.
The Mystic Wolf was a typical magical equipment designed with the refining concept of the elite faction.
Although its data on paper was very powerful, and it could indeed display a formidable battle strength on the battlefield, its emphasis on the weak points and the weak points was too high. Therefore, the problem of the weak waist could not be solved. After being bitten by demon beasts a few times, the lumbar vertebra could easily burst.
As a result, there was a high failure rate.
At present, the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector had yet to break out into a decisive battle at the strategic level. They were only engaged in small-scale raids and encounters. This failure rate was still acceptable.
However... Once a decisive battle broke out, the shortcomings of the Mystic Wolf would be infinitely magnified under the situation where resources and maintenance personnel were very scarce.
As an interesting thought game, Li Yao liked to casually find a few classic magical equipment structural drawings when he had nothing to do and fantasize about how to "magically modify" them in his mind.
The Mystic Wolf had been refined for more than thirty years. The structural drawings were not military secrets and could be found in the Grand Desolate War Institution. Li Yao had also thought of several modification plans for the Mystic Wolf before. He did not expect that they would come in handy today.
"Which plan should I use?"
"Forget it. After all, it is such a serious exam. To be safe, I will use the safest, most conservative, and most old-fashioned plan!"
Li Yao suddenly stood up. His eyes were shining as he prepared to go all out!
And in the monitoring room... When he began his crazy performance, one after another, inconceivable segments appeared. All of them turned into the astonished questioning of the three examiners:
"What, what is he doing? Why did he suddenly draw so many structural drawings and spiritual energy flow diagrams like a madman? He is just repairing a Mystic Wolf. Is there a need to draw so many drawings? "
"Hey, he actually chose as many as 142 materials? Ninety-seven materials are clearly enough to repair the Mystic Wolf! "
"The components that he made look strange. They are not the standard components of the Mystic Wolf. I really can't guess what he is thinking. "
"He even dismantled the crafting furnace!"
"No way, he actually strengthened many components of the crafting furnace onto the Mystic Wolf. Even the magical equipment units were not spared!"
"This... Is this behavior not against the rules? What, not against the rules? The examinees can use all the facilities in the maintenance workshop? "
"Furthermore, the thing he is assembling, no matter how I look at it, I can't see that it is a Mystic Wolf!"
Finally...
The exam was over!
When the exhausted examinees dragged their nearly numb bodies and walked out of the cave with their repaired Mystic Wolves, they were deeply shocked by the amazing masterpiece in the center of the large disc.
It was a Mystic Wolf that was entirely military green in color. It was faintly emitting a cold murderous aura, as if it was a newly refined magical equipment. Every detail was perfect. Its two pale golden crystal eyes were shining brightly, overflowing with the domineering aura of a king.
Wolf King, this was the real Wolf King!
Beside the Wolf King, Jiang Shaoyang stood quietly. His eyes were deep as he stared at Li Yao's maintenance workshop.
When the rest of the examinees saw this, they all shrunk their heads and brought their Mystic Wolves to the edge of the large disc and sat down.
Compared to the Mystic Wolf that Jiang Shaoyang was repairing, the Mystic Wolves that they had tried their best to repair were simply lame dogs. They were simply not presentable!
"I'm convinced. The title of the Tenth Star is not just a boast. I am sincerely convinced by this refining genius, Jiang Shaoyang!"
"Probably, only Li Yao can compete with him. However, I don't think so. The Mystic Wolf that Jiang Shaoyang is repairing can be said to be at the peak of perfection. That majestic aura of a king can only be stimulated when the spiritual energy is in its most perfect state!"
"That's right. Even a newly refined Mystic Wolf might not be able to be adjusted so perfectly. Amazing, absolutely amazing!"
"Look, Li Yao is coming out!"
The door of Li Yao's maintenance workshop slowly opened. With a pale face and slightly trembling hands, he staggered out.
"Kacha Kacha! Kacha Kacha! "
Along with a terrifying mechanical sound, a ferocious-looking beast puppet slowly emerged from the darkness behind him.
When the beast puppet's full appearance appeared before everyone's eyes, everyone was dumbfounded and forgot to breathe.
"Oh my god, what kind of monster is this?!"
