Li Yao's movements were swift. In the eyes of the people in the distance, it was just a light flick of the napkin. Before the napkin fell to the ground, Li Yao picked it up and spread it on the table. + -
Jiang Shaoyang took two steps forward and secretly looked. He saw that in the center of the square napkin, there were 144 holes pierced by the toothpick. There were 12 holes in each direction, and they were distributed in a very standard square. They were just parallel to the edges of the napkin. At first glance, it looked like a pattern was printed in advance.
Jiang Shaoyang felt as if he was struck by lightning. The blood on his face instantly drained.
"Within a second, 144 holes were pierced by a toothpick on the incomparably soft napkin. Maybe... I can do it too."
"But the 144 holes are distributed so evenly. The distance between each other is exactly the same, forming a perfect square."
"What kind of terrifying computing power and hand-eye coordination is needed to do this!"
"So, this is his real strength!"
"This monster has been holding back since yesterday!"
At this moment, Li Yao also felt that there was a person standing behind him. He turned his head and was shocked by Jiang Shaoyang's shiny bald head.
"You changed your style? Not bad, you have quite a character. Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together. "
Jiang Shaoyang stared at him. He bit his lips until they bled. After a long time, he said word by word:
"Senior Li Yao, see you later!"
After that, he stiffly turned around like a machine. He walked over step by step and walked back step by step.
"What the hell?"
Li Yao scratched his disheveled hair. His face was full of confusion.
Didn't this guy say last night that he wanted to duel with him this morning? Why did he look like he had suffered a big blow?
Even when he was defeated by him yesterday, he didn't look so disappointed.
That deep look in his eyes. It was as if Li Yao had snatched away his girlfriend.
"What the hell!"
The Deep Sea University's examinees were ten thousand times more devastated than Li Yao. Each and every one of them pulled their hair. They couldn't understand what had happened.
Just a second ago, Jiang Shaoyang seemed to be possessed by a demon. Like the sun in the sky, he wanted to take revenge for the enmity of an arrow.
That indomitable and unstoppable posture caused them to not doubt in the slightest that Li Yao would be crushed by him without any suspense, and it could be considered as venting the resentment in their hearts.
One had to know that because of yesterday's crushing defeat, who knew how many examinees were secretly laughing at them, especially the examinees of Star Nebula University and the First Military Academy of the Federation. He didn't even try to hide his gloating.
They were still waiting for Jiang Shaoyang to use a brilliant victory to thoroughly slap these people in the face!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Shaoyang only stood behind Li Yao for a few seconds and said a few words. Then, the overwhelming momentum was blown away, and Jiang Shaoyang retreated in a daze!
"Shao Yang, what's going on? Aren't you going to fight with Li Yao? Why aren't we competing? "
Several Deep Sea University examinees asked with slight dissatisfaction.
Jiang Shaoyang absent-mindedly said, "Yes."
"Ah?"
"Who won and who lost?"
Jiang Shaoyang's eyes were somewhat empty. There was also some abnormal excitement as he muttered, "I lost again."
"If yesterday's contest had some element of luck, then it was Brother Li Yao who laid a trap for me to fall into, which was why I won."
"Then today, it was completely due to the gap in strength. I was completely crushed by him! "
"But this is also good, really good. Brother Li Yao let me see clearly how terrifying a realm a person can reach when their battle intent soars to 1000%!"
"Us. The future is long! "
After these few words were said, the depression and loss on Jiang Shaoyang's face were swept away. It was replaced by the unswerving determination to slay tigers, slay dragons, destroy gods and slay demons. The power to crush mountains and rivers once again exploded from the depths of every cell, and the sun was once again ignited!
He held his head high and strode out of the cafeteria.
Only a few hundred Deep Sea University examinees who were about to go crazy were left behind.
"Is there a mistake?!"
"Jiang Shaoyang has become so terrifying. His hand speed increased by more than ten percent overnight!"
"And he was still defeated by Li Yao?"
"Moreover, it only took one second to convince Jiang Shaoyang. He even said that he was crushed. This is simply —"
"One second. What did they do in the end? What did they do!?"
These outstanding refiners in the circle of refiners, who were crowned with the title of "genius" in their hometowns, were all scratching their ears and cheeks. Their faces were flushed red, and they were on the verge of collapse.
In their eyes, Li Yao, who was slurping soy milk and eating big meat buns, seemed to have grown wings and claws. His whole body was covered with scales, and a strong demonic aura was lingering around him. He was an out-and-out monster!
...
Half a day later.
Information authentication was completed.
All the examinees who passed received a brilliant badge, which represented that they had truly become one of the most powerful professions in the circle of cultivators, refiners!
Then, dozens of transport ships sent the examinees back to their respective towns.
Three of the transport ships flew to the largest town in the eastern part of the Federation, Deep Sea City.
When they arrived at Deep Sea City, it was already midnight.
Deep Sea University stood in a corner of Deep Sea City, occupying a quarter of the city. It was brightly lit, and most of the buildings extended to the bottom of the sea, illuminating the sea with colorful lights, as if it was a fairyland.
In a floating mountain full of strange rocks, giant trees, and waterfalls, Supernova Jiang Sheng was concentrating on watching a battle between puppet warbeasts.
It was the battle between Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang, the battle between Wolf King and Tarantula.
Jiang Sheng was expressionless as he quietly watched.
Even when Wolf King was ruthlessly stabbed by Tarantula's tail, it didn't even move half an eyebrow.
When Wolf King was completely torn into pieces, he turned his head and asked a dark-skinned woman who was less than thirty years old.
"If it were you, how would you deal with this puppet warbeast?"
This woman was called Yuan Yexue, Jiang Sheng's direct disciple, and one of the "Novem Stellae".
The "Novem Stellae" was created by Jiang Sheng's painstaking efforts according to their respective personalities and talents. The nine young experts created by different methods each had their own unique skills.
Among them, Yuan Yexue was a refiner who specialized in puppet warbeasts. Not only was she good at refining, she was also good at controlling them.
On the battlefield, she could control ten puppet warbeasts at the same time. It was able to display an extremely strong fighting power. It was an out-and-out beast expert.
Yuan Yexue pondered for a moment and said,
"Shaoyang still underestimated the opponent. Since the opponent has such a tyrannical modification ability, there is no reason for him to take the initiative to expose two big flaws. It must be a trap!"
"If it were me, I would attack from the front, where the Tarantula's armor is the thickest! Although the armor here is very thick, the cross-shaped crystal eye track. It is a fatal weakness! "
"Following the crystal eye track, tearing open the front armor and directly blowing up the mainframe crystal processor!"
"Of course, even if the strategy is successful, I can't guarantee that I will win. This Tarantula has indeed been modified well. Li Yao is very powerful!"
Jiang Sheng sighed. He said, "A great teacher produces a great student. Senior Sister Yuan's only disciple. Of course, he is powerful. Thinking back to when I wanted to recruit him, I was rejected. It is really a pity! "
Yuan Yexue raised her eyebrows. She was not convinced and said,
"Teacher, although he has shown a tyrannical strength that is inconsistent with his age, he is still an ordinary student. Far surpassing the average student. However, our Deep Sea University is full of talents and experts. There should be many who can compete with him, right? Just take our Novem Stellae for example. Which one of them does not have a stronger strength than him? "
Jiang Sheng sneered and said,
"I am not sorry for Deep Sea University. I am deeply sorry for him. Such a talented seedling, because of his impulsiveness and willfulness, destroyed his future!"
"Yes, he has some talent. However, staying in a place like the Grand Desolate War Institution and walking on the wrong path of refining, no matter how good his talent is, it will slowly be obliterated!"
"I really don't understand what this pair of master and disciple are thinking. First, it was Senior Sister Yuan. Now, it is this Li Yao. Why didn't he join Deep Sea University with such a good environment? Why did he have to stick his head in the sand-filled wasteland? They are simply a pair of lunatics!"
At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside. Jiang Shaoyang appeared, covered in dust.
"Shaoyang!"
Yuan Yexue greeted him.
She had already received the news, so she was not surprised by Jiang Shaoyang's bald head. She smiled and said, "I heard that this time, you met a rare strong opponent. Although you lost, you comprehended something. Overnight, your hand speed increased by 11.3%?"
Jiang Shaoyang slightly nodded. He took a step forward and looked at Jiang Sheng with his bright eyes. Without any nonsense, he said straightforwardly,
"Uncle, I have already become a registered refiner. What should I do next?"
This pair of uncle and nephew were both infatuated with the path of refining. They spoke like this without the slightest emotion.
Jiang Sheng pulled out a densely-packed proposal from the crystal processor and coldly said, "Let's go.
"Becoming a registered refiner is just the beginning. Next, I have arranged 27 projects for you. You can choose one or several of them and participate in them as an assistant researcher. You can slowly accumulate experience and improve your strength."
"However, no matter which project you choose, you will have to accept the test from the person in charge of the project. The difficulty is very high. Even if you are my nephew, there is no exception. It will only be stricter."
Jiang Shaoyang glanced at the proposal and revealed an expression as if he had expected it. He smiled.
He took out an envelope from his bosom and solemnly handed it over.
Jiang Sheng took a look at it and emotionally said,
"Application for withdrawal? Why?! "
"Because I have seen the peak."
Jiang Shaoyang calmly said, "Uncle, I grew up in Deep Sea University. I have seen many experts of the Refining Department as well as the path they walked. Now, you want me to walk the same path. It is tantamount to conquering a mountain where you can see the peak. There is not even the slightest bit of fun or challenge."
"So?"
"So, I am ready to leave Deep Sea University and look for a mountain that is so high that you can't see the peak or even have no peak. Then, I will conquer it!"
"Shaoyang, are you crazy?!"
Yuan Yexue exclaimed, "How can you leave Deep Sea University? We, the Novem Stellae, are looking forward to your joining. You are the well-known Tenth Star! "
Jiang Shaoyang smiled, revealing his sharp teeth as he said, one word at a time:
"Senior Sister Yuan, there is something that I have been holding in my heart for a long time. Until now, I can finally say it."
"I have never liked the title 'Tenth Star'. I don't like it at all."
"In the eyes of others, being able to stand side by side with the Novem Stellae seems to be a very glorious thing. But for me, I don't like to stand side by side with anyone. Even more so, I don't like to see the sky full of stars."
"I am not a star."
