"What supporting occupation did Zhang Shi choose for the first floor?"
Luo Xuanqing turned to a management elder who was watching the commotion and asked anxiously.
Brother Zhang Xuan's forte lay in the occupations of formations, beast taming, and spirit enchantment. As long as he could set that up, he should be able to clear the first floor easily.
"Celestial designer!"
The elder recognized him and nodded his head.
"Celestial designer? Could the guardian be … Jiang Feifei?" Luo Xuanqing's face paled.
"The Inceptive Sage of the Sanctum of Sages is none other than Jiang Feifei!"
The elder replied.
"This is bad …"
Luo Xuanqing panicked.
Zhang Xuan might not know much about Jiang Feifei, but he knew her well.
Back then, his Soulbinding Golden Bead was forged by her.
As one of the top geniuses of the Three Premier Clans, not only was her fighting prowess on par with his, her comprehension of celestial designer was also unparalleled in the world. Even the elders of the guild had been praising her, saying that she had the ability to push for Nine Stars!
In the Tower of Master Teachers, choosing one's opponent was extremely important. It was best to choose an easier opponent first to boost one's confidence before slowly moving on to the more difficult ones.
But … Jiang Feifei was already a dead end from the very start. There was no hope of her winning at all!
It was just that his younger sister wasn't taking the Inceptive Sage examination, and even if she did, it was hard to say whether she would be able to defeat Jiang Feifei.
To choose Jiang Feifei for the first round of the Tower of Master Teachers … That was not being overconfident but reckless!
"Jiang Feifei has always been merciless. That young man is probably going to fail in the first round …"
While Luo Xuanqing was still panicking, a calm voice suddenly sounded. Turning his head over, he saw an elder standing before Zhan shi, stroking his beard with a smile on his face.
It was the management elder of the Celestial Designer Guild!
Clearly, he did not think that Zhang Xuan would be able to clear the trial either.
Luo Xuanqing had no idea why his brother was so insistent on becoming an 8-star master teacher so quickly, but he still clenched his fists with a grim look on his face. A thought suddenly came to his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh. "That fellow is indeed capable and daring … It's a pity that if not for my younger sister's engagement with the Zhang clan, she would have married him instead. What a pity … "
…
After entering the first hall of the Tower of Master Teachers, Zhang Xuan swiftly scanned his surroundings and saw a young lady seated by the corner. She was holding a unique blade in her hands, and she was inscribing intently.
The other party didn't seem to notice Zhang Xuan's arrival. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, as if he was drawing on a piece of paper.
"Wait a moment, I'll compete with you after I'm done with this …"
Sensing his arrival, the girl did not even raise her head and casually waved her hand.
"Alright!"
Zhang Xuan smiled.
Even though the young lady didn't raise her head, making it impossible to see her face clearly, from her exposed skin and figure, it was clear that she was a rare beauty. She wasn't inferior to Zhao Feiwu and the others at all.
More importantly, his cultivation was actually on par with Zhang Chun, Saint 7-dan pinnacle!
With such strength and cultivation, he was actually able to sit on the ground and carve without any qualms. His level of concentration was something that even he had to admire.
He lowered his head and looked at what the other party was carving.
It was a celestial designer artifact.
Celestial designer artifacts were known for their exquisite craftsmanship. With every stroke of the carving knife in the young lady's hand, a piece of metal would fall from the metal plate. A few breaths later, a uniquely shaped component was formed. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she attached it to another object that she had just carved.
"What exquisite craftsmanship!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up.
Having browsed through the books on celestial designers, he knew that the other party's craftsmanship could be considered as top-notch even among 8-star celestial designers.
To be able to wield such control at such a young age, as expected of an Inceptive Sage.
"I'm done!"
After attaching the components together, the young lady exhaled deeply before placing the object by the side. Turning to Zhang Xuan, she said, "You don't have to defeat me in the Tower of Master Teachers. All you have to do is to display a capability worthy of my acknowledgement!"
This was the master teacher examination, not the celestial designer examination. As such, there was no need for one to surpass the Inceptive Sage.
"However, I have high expectations for you. It won't be that easy for you to win my acknowledgement!"
The young lady said.
"It won't be easy for me to earn your acknowledgement, given how I was able to carve it out just based on my memory alone …"
Zhang Xuan chuckled.
Celestial designers would usually have to draw a blueprint in advance and use a special tool to measure the size of the components. Yet, the young lady had done nothing at all, carving it out casually. Yet, the fact that she was able to carve it out flawlessly showed that her control over the size of the components had already reached a level that was almost on par with the Dao.
How could it be easy to clear the examination of such a person?
"It's good that you understand. You can see that I'm quite busy, so let's not waste any more time. I have a pile of materials here, and we'll carve them into puppets according to this blueprint. As long as your puppet can withstand three blows from me, I'll consider it as a pass!"
The young lady waved her hand, and a pile of materials and carving knives appeared before Zhang Xuan. There was also a unique blueprint, and there were many words inscribed on it. Due to how small they were, it was impossible to discern them without scanning it with one's Spiritual Perception.
Putting aside the lines and the drawing of the components, just the words written on it already numbered in the tens of thousands!
"How complicated …"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He had seen quite a few 8-star blueprints, but this was the first time he had seen one as complicated as this.
"This is a Nebula Puppet, and it possesses incredible fighting prowess!"
The young lady said. "This is a Grand Dominion realm material. As long as I can successfully carve it, even a Grand Dominion realm master teacher would find it difficult to defeat it!
"Nebula Puppets are constructed using the nebula as the foundation. Every single component represents a star, and there are countless stars in the sky. As such, while this blueprint might seem fixed, it's actually filled with countless possibilities. As long as there's a slight mistake in the carving, the prowess of the puppet could be vastly different!"
The young lady lowered her head to take a look at the blueprint before continuing. "I'll take roughly a day and a night to carve it. After I'm done, I'll wait for you for three days and three nights. If you can't complete it by then, it'll mean that you've failed my examination!
"Time is of the essence when it comes to carving puppets. You should know this, right? Three days and three nights is already the longest I can wait for you! "
After explaining, the young lady raised her head and grabbed a piece of material. Just as she was about to carve it, she suddenly froze on the spot.
More than a hundred swords had appeared before the young man's eyes. All kinds of materials were being carved by the young man's sword qi, and in less than two breaths, a pile of components of different sizes had already formed on the ground.
Following which, the young man abruptly grabbed it.
Huala!
The finished materials were piled up together.
"Alright, I'm done!"
Clapping his hands, Zhang Xuan turned to look at the young man.
