Seeing that Li Yao was captivated, Hao Lingtong hesitated and said, "My fellow Cultivator, if you only want to broaden your horizons, it's fine to go to the Skyhill Sword Seminar. But if you want to make it to the top ten and join the three Crystal Suit Centers in such a way, I suggest that you give up the idea as soon as possible.
"The Skyhill Sword Seminar is almost the most advanced magical equipment refining competition in the Flying Star Sector. Every year, countless young refiners participate in it. Everybody wants to be a fish that leaps over the dragon gate and soars into the sky!
"Many of them are the rightful heirs of ancient refining schools who have been passed on for thousands of years. They rarely call themselves refiners. Instead, they call themselves' sword forgers'!"
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shone with brilliance.
The sword was the ancestor of all weapons. In the ancient world of Cultivators, flying swords were the representative of magical equipment. 'Sword forger' was a very old-fashioned title. It also represented the profound heritage of the noble families of refining.
Hao Lingtong continued. "Other than those from noble families of refining, the rest of the contestants are not easy to deal with, either. Most of them have been polishing their skills in Cultivation sects or Exo Societies for years, just like you. They will only show their brilliance in the Skyhill Sword Seminar!"
Li Yao said, "I just want to know one thing. If I make it to the top ten, is it certain that I will be accepted into the three Crystal Suit Centers? If I make it to the top three, is it certain that I will be accepted into the core projects? "
Hao Lingtong nodded. "Of course. The purpose of the Skyhill Sword Seminar is to introduce new blood to the three Crystal Suit Centers. The genius refiners who made it to the top three last year were hired by the three centers with high salaries. They are already participating in the most advanced Crystal Suit projects of the Flying Star Sector! "
Li Yao's lips curled. What he was best at was the refinement of battle sabers. His Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber. The Purple Electric Blue Hell Claw was as good as the advanced magical equipment of the Flying Star Sector.
"The Iron School, the Silver Heart School, and the Red Line School represent the highest level of Crystal Suit production in the Flying Star Sector. If I join the core projects, I will be able to get in touch with the most advanced magical equipment of the Flying Star Sector. It will be the best training for me to improve my refining skills, too!
"I've decided. Participate in the Skyhill Sword Seminar, fight your way into the top three, and fight your way into Heaven Saint City! "
He paid Hao Lingtong through the Spiritual Nexus. Li Yao strolled towards the nearest teleportation array.
Because they were in a virtual world, the teleportation array here was just a formality. It was not limited by the number of people or the distance.
After entering the destination, a white light flashed before Li Yao's eyes and he appeared in a majestic hall.
The walls around him were painted with large, vivid and lifelike battle scenes of cultivators, devil cultivators, and demons. It was as if he could hear the real battle cries and smell the thick scent of blood.
Countless flying swords and sabers were floating in the air. They converged into a river of steel, flowing slowly.
This was the online registration point for the Skyhill Sword Seminar.
There were over a hundred young people standing in the hall. There was a mixture of confusion and excitement on his face. He was unwilling to register immediately and was exchanging pointers with his fellow Daoists.
Most of them were like Li Yao. They had just come to the Thousand Sails Space Zone from a small place in the sea of stars and were lucky enough to participate in such a grand event as the Skyhill Sword Seminar. Everything around them was new to them.
Some of them were wearing glamorous clothes with casual expressions on their faces. Some of them were talking to each other in a low voice with a casual smile on their faces. Now and then, they would smile.
They were probably the heirs of the noble families of refining.
Dozens of staff members were receiving the registration.
Because too many people had signed up for the competition, they had to screen the refiners who were not good enough.
This part of the job could not be done by crystal processors. Therefore, all the staff members were real people.
Some of them were from the three Crystal Suit Centers. Most of them were college students from the Refining Departments of other universities who had come here as volunteers.
Li Yao was about to step forward and register when the crowd was in an uproar. The heirs of the noble families of refining who had been talking and laughing a moment ago were all screaming like chickens whose necks had been pinched.
A handsome young man in a white robe, with a plain face and long hair that was casually tied up by a twig, stepped out of the teleportation array slowly.
The moon-white robe was engraved with a rather rigid "Mo" character.
"The Mo family! Mo Tianshui! "
"After seven years, a descendant of the Mo family, a noble family of refining, is finally taking part in the Skyhill Sword Seminar! This is big news! "
"Seven years ago, Mo Hongxue, the eldest son of the Mo family, took part in the Skyhill Sword Seminar and won the competition with his' Unyielding Snow Sword '. He cut his opponent's weapon in half and caused quite a stir. Right now, he is already a master of refining for the' Silver Heart School '!
"However, Mo Hongxue has stated many times that he is only the second most talented person in the younger generation of the Mo family and that his youngest brother, Mo Tianshui, is the greatest pride of the Mo family!
"I'm told that Huangpu Xiaoya, the most distinguished sword forger of the younger generation of the Huangpu family, has signed up for the competition two days ago. Now, Mo Tianshui is here, too. The two noble families of refining that have been fighting each other for thousands of years are about to have a new round of competition. Two stars are shining in the Skyhill Sword Seminar this year. The competition will be fierce!"
"Mo Tianshui and Huangpu Xiaoya are both geniuses among geniuses. Which of the two of them will win the championship and become the 'Sword Master' of the Skyhill Sword Seminar?"
All the disciples of the noble families were jumping up and down like loaches that had been poured into hot water.
Even the young people from the edge of the cosmos, even though they had never heard of Mo Tianshui and Huangpu Xiaoya before, were quite familiar with the names of the Mo family and the Huangpu family, the two strongest noble families of refining in the Flying Star Sector. Therefore, they were all rushing toward Mo Tianshui.
Li Yao took the opportunity to walk to the empty registration booth.
If he were in reality, he might have squeezed through the crowd and observed Mo Tianshui, or at least his hands.
However, in the Grand Illusionary Land, many details could be hidden easily, and he wouldn't be able to see anything. He might as well finish the registration as soon as possible and find a place to train himself.
Li Yao stopped in front of a girl whose hair was tied in two ponytails.
The girl was staring at Mo Tianshui, her eyes full of affection. "Senior Brother Mo is as handsome as ever. Come and sign up for me. Come on! "
The girl's name was Xie Anan. She was a freshman in the Refining Department of Flying Star University.
She was on vacation. Her professor had arranged for her to work as a worker in the Skyhill Sword Seminar.
It was also a tradition of Flying Star University. In such a way, the freshmen could get in touch with the experts of refining from various schools and broaden their horizons.
Mo Tianshui, on the other hand, was the big senior brother of the Refining Department of Flying Star University and a celebrity on campus. The six major sects were already fighting over him before he graduated.
But he didn't choose any of them. He had to prove his capability through the Skyhill Sword Seminar and enter the core projects of the three Crystal Suit Centers in such a way!
Xie Anan had known that Senior Brother Mo would come for the registration. However, more than a hundred thousand people signed up for the Skyhill Sword Seminar every year. Therefore, almost a hundred virtual registration booths had been set up on the Spiritual Nexus. As soon as the Spiritual Nexus was established, they would be sent to different registration booths.
Xie Anan didn't expect that Senior Brother Mo would really come to her registration booth. Her heart was pounding, and her brain was in a mess. She almost wanted to turn into a cat and jump at the handsome and strong senior brother.
However …
The dream was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. The man standing in front of her was not the handsome Senior Brother Mo but a young man whose skin was pale. His eyes, which were slightly hollowed, were rather deep. However, his hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and he was yawning every second due to lack of sleep. However, his image was completely destroyed.
Xie Anan calmed herself down. The workers had all received professional training. Naturally, they wouldn't judge a book by its cover. Besides, what they saw in the Grand Illusionary Land might not be the real person!
A casual smile immediately popped up on Xie Anan's face. She asked the applicant to fill in the basic information.
"Li Yao. Born at the edge of the cosmos. His parents passed away when he was a child. He has been training on his own in the debris of the ancient battleground. He once received the enlightenment of an eccentric expert. Right now, he is working as a refiner in the Great Horn Exo Society. "
The file was rather simple.
However, in the world of Cultivators, one's background was not everything. As long as he had a clean background, he was free to wander in the world. The Great Horn Exo Society had been rather famous recently. Whether or not he was really from the Great Horn Exo Society would be clear after the investigation.
Xie Anan smiled and said, "Fellow Cultivator Li, there is no problem with your file. However, hundreds of thousands of contestants sign up for the Skyhill Sword Seminar every year. It is impossible for us to invite everyone to the Skyhill Domain for a real battle. Therefore, we have to arrange a test in advance. I hope you can understand.
"The test is very simple. Test rooms are everywhere in the hall. You will enter Test Room No. 11 in a moment. The structural designs of three hundred kinds of melee magical equipment will fall from the ceiling.
"The three hundred kinds of melee magical equipment vary in strength. What you need to do is to find the ten most powerful ones in one minute.
"If you find the ten most powerful melee magical equipment correctly, you will receive an invitation to the Skyhill Sword Seminar directly.
"If the final answer is not correct, it doesn't matter. We will accumulate the power of the magical equipment you found. As long as the power of the magical equipment you found is in the top three thousand of all the applicants, you will also be able to receive an invitation letter later."
"Is there a problem?"
Li Yao shook his head and walked to the Test Room No. 11.
Xie Anan looked at her Senior Brother Mo affectionately again. Her heart was beating fast. Senior Brother Mo was so handsome. He was so elegant and graceful, like an ancient sword forging master from forty thousand years ago who had walked out of a painting!
Right then, as if she had been struck by lightning, her hair stood on end, and her eyes froze.
"What did I say just now? One minute? Ten minutes? "
"I'm screwed. I should have said ten minutes, didn't I? How is it possible to pick the ten most powerful ones from the three hundred designs in one minute? "
"Don't worry. Don't worry. There is a countdown in the test room. Even the dumbest refiner should know that the time limit of the test is ten minutes!"
While she was mumbling to herself, Li Yao had walked out of the test room peacefully, yawning.
Xie Anan immediately frowned. She looked at the test light beam nearby. The idiot had only used 55 seconds!
"I'm screwed. Asking the same applicant to participate in the second test requires a higher level of clearance. I'm going to be scolded by the professor!"
Xie Anan stuck out her tongue and was about to apologize, when her face froze again. Her mouth was so big that a duck egg could have been stuffed inside.
On the light beam, Li Yao's test result was displayed.
"The ten most powerful magical equipment have all been locked onto. They are No. 14, No. 56, No. 9, No. 267 …"
