Ye Chong's spacious room was now a grand sight. Countless reagents of various colors were soaked in all sorts of skeletons, neatly arranged. Under the illumination of the lights, the room looked like a world of crystals.
There were many high-precision instruments used by alchemists in the room, making Ye Chong's room look more like a laboratory.
Ye Chong carefully observed the condition of the skeletons in each reagent bottle. Today was the last day to check the skeletons. Ye Chong had no idea how many sets of skeletons would be useful, so he could only leave it to fate.
He removed the skeletons from the reagents one by one. Most of the skeletons had undergone significant changes, completely different from when they were first placed. This was the effect of emaciation.
How many of them would be useful? Ye Chong had to experiment one by one.
Master Fan sat in front of the table, troubled. He had just received an order from the Elder to prevent the young skeleton carver from passing the Level Five Trial. This happened every year, and Master Fan was not surprised. There were many ways to prevent the young skeleton carver from passing the Level Five Trial. The easiest was to tamper with the questions. As long as the questions were of extreme difficulty, the chances of the young skeleton carver passing would be zero.
As for these tricks, if it had been done before the fifth rank examination, there would have been no reason for them to fail. This was because the Level Four Trial before the Level Five Trial was decided by a single Master. As long as the obedient Masters were in charge of Ye Chong's trial, it would be foolproof. The fifth level exam was evaluated by a total of seven Grandmasters. Among the seven Grandmasters, apart from himself, there was another Grandmaster who was under his control. Even so, there were only two of them, and they could not play a decisive role in the quota of seven people. This way, the results would be completely out of his control.
The Elder had given him a time limit, which was after Ye Chong passed the Level Four Trial. This was a headache for Master Fan. Master Xiao, who was in charge of Ye Chong's trial, never listened to him, and had a bad temper. All of these masters were very assertive people. They would not allow others to interfere with their own judgment. Furthermore, when it came to their profession, all of them were very serious. One was one, two was two. They would not allow a grain of sand to be rubbed in their eyes.
Master Fan understood that if it were not for the Sanctuary's control of the Level Five Trial, he would not have become a Master. Based on his actual ability, he was still far from being a Master, and was the lowest among the Masters. This often put him in an awkward position, and the other Masters looked down on him and deliberately distanced themselves from him.
He could not even influence the Masters within the Sanctuary. Those who could become Masters were mostly simple-minded and devoted themselves to their profession. They had always disliked and disdained these shady methods. On the contrary, the relationship between the Masters was very good. Many times, Master Fan felt that he was isolated by them. Later on, he accidentally caught a Master's sore spot, and after a series of threats and promises, he finally managed to control the Master. However, the others soon noticed that something was wrong. Master Fan bitterly realized that this time, the two of them were isolated. Furthermore, these masters were the Sanctuary's honored guests. Not only could he not act with any hostility, he even had to protect them when they were in danger. This made Master Fan extremely depressed.
Suddenly, he realized that there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that Ye Chong was not strong enough to pass the last two tests, or his mission would end in failure.
Everything could only be left to fate!
Up until now, the Sanctuary had not been able to completely control the Level Five Trial. This was also one of the reasons why the Masters agreed to host the tests. The Sanctuary's test was first proposed by a Master who agreed to serve the Sanctuary, and was later supported by almost all the Masters. They believed that the outsiders of the Orbits should be given a chance to leave. The Sanctuary was pressured by the Masters, and also believed that this system could help to discover and discover talents, so they agreed.
The Masters' meticulous attitude towards their profession directly led to the extremely high difficulty of this kind of examination.
Phew! Ye Chong heaved a long sigh of relief. Finally, there were three types of skeletons that he was satisfied with. What excited him the most was one of the skeletons called Dopodo. Not only did it have the best properties of the three types of skeletons, it was also a common type of skeletons, unlike the other two, which were rare. This meant that it had a wider range of uses!
"Shang, have you recorded the formula for the Dopodo's skeletons?" Ye Chong asked.
"Of course, would I make a mistake that only you would?" Shang retorted sarcastically.
Upon hearing Shang, Ye Chong exerted strength in his hands and rubbed them together. The Dopodo's skeletons turned into a pile of bone dust in the blink of an eye, falling through the gaps between his fingers. Ye Chong heard a series of footsteps approaching. He was very familiar with those footsteps, since Wei Xi came every day. Of course, Ye Chong was familiar with her footsteps.
Ye Chong shook his hands slightly, and the powder on his hands dispersed into the air like smoke. His hands were clean again.
Just then, Wei Xi pushed the door open and entered. Ye Chong turned around casually, but his heart skipped a beat!
How could there be another person?
Ye Chong's alertness was immediately raised to the highest level. He had only heard Wei Xi's footsteps earlier, but now there were two of them. It was obvious that the other person's footsteps were beyond his range of hearing! Back on the trash planet, Ye Chong's hearing was already very sensitive. After practicing meditation, while it did not seem to have any effect on his mental training, he unintentionally found that his hearing had become more sensitive than before!
This was the first person he met who could not hear any footsteps at such a close distance!
Looking at the long-haired man beside Wei Xi, Ye Chong looked calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil!
What a terrifying man!
The man's body was well-proportioned, without any toned muscles, but Ye Chong did not underestimate him because of that. From the information he obtained, among the mentalist apprentices in the Sanctuary, only the unrated students would have bulging muscles. The stronger they were, the less special their physique would be. Moreover, the man's eyes were calm and indifferent. Ye Chong was sure that the man before him had reached a very high level of mental training, which was not something his unrated meditation could compare with. Besides, Ye Chong could not even feel the man's breath. If his eyes did not capture the man before him, Ye Chong would never have felt the man's existence!
How could a random person from the Sanctuary be this strong? This is too terrifying!
"Ye, be careful, this man is strong!" Shang seemed to have noticed that the man before him was not simple.
Wei Xi smiled at Ye Chong and said, "Mr Ye, how was your experiment? Any breakthrough? Oh, right, I almost forgot to introduce you! " Wei Xi stuck her tongue out mischievously, and continued, "This is Sir Mu Fei, he will replace me as your guide. Sigh, I really want to learn from you, but I have another mission, so Sir Mu Fei will be your guide. I hope you can work well with him!"
Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat. If he was his guide, did that mean he would be by his side every day? Sir? It seemed like this man was of high status! Ye Chong's expression did not change, and only replied with a flat "Oh!", and nodded at Mu Fei.
Mu Fei smiled. "I'll be happy to serve you. I heard that you have amazing skills in skeletons, please teach me!" Mu Fei's face was delicate to begin with, unlike most men's rough faces. When he smiled, there was a strange flirtatiousness to it, and Wei Xi, who was standing beside him, immediately looked intoxicated.
"It's nothing." Ye Chong waved his hand casually.
Wei Xi noticed the two bones in Ye Chong's hands, and asked curiously, "Mr Ye, are these your successful experiments?"
"Yes, only two, barely!" Ye Chong put on a regretful expression.
Wei Xi quickly consoled Ye Chong, "It's nothing. Even so, Mr Ye had an amazing breakthrough!"
Mu Fei suddenly came over and said, "These must be the bones of Luo Yuan and Biqi Bird!"
Could it be that you're also an expert in skeletons? Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Mu Fei on purpose, and then asked in a flat but slightly surprised tone, "Mr Mu, you're also an expert in skeletons?"
Mu Fei smiled humbly. "I don't know anything about skeletons, I've only interacted with these two mutants before!"
Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat again. He knew of these two mutants. Luo Yuan was easy to deal with, but Biqi Bird was much more ferocious and aggressive. They usually came in pairs, and their claws and teeth were sharp enough to break through the armor of most mechs. They were agile, cunning, and difficult to deal with! Mu Fei said that he had interacted with them before, but Ye Chong did not believe that they had any friendly "interactions". From the looks of it, Mu Fei must be very strong!
What did the Sanctuary mean by sending him to his side? Ye Chong could not understand.
However, Ye Chong quickly focused on his test. No matter what, passing the test was the most important goal now. What made Ye Chong uncomfortable was that Mu Fei never left his side, and no matter what Ye Chong did, he would watch with interest from the side. This made Ye Chong suspicious.
However, time was running out, and Ye Chong could not care less about Mu Fei beside him. He began to work on full-skeleton mech engines. The cautious Ye Chong kept an eye out. Since Master Xiao said that the engine model did not matter, Ye Chong chose the simplest mech engine - the Raven engine, which was the engine that Ye Chong was very familiar with.
Even so, Ye Chong still spent a lot of effort. After all, this was his first time working on it, and he was inexperienced. Fortunately, Ye Chong finally completed the world's first full-skeleton engine in the allotted time!
