Seizing Fang Zheng Before All Eyes

In Fang Yuan's previous life, when he had set his sights on the Gu Refining Convention, more than ten years had passed since the previous convention.

In order to take part in the Gu Refining Convention, Fang Yuan had begun preparing over eighty years in advance in his previous life.

Every day, he had set aside time to practice diligently, never stopping day or night.

Throughout this practice, Fang Yuan had brought out the spirit of the students on Earth in his life before that, facing mountains of exam questions and seas of problem banks for the college entrance examinations. He had collected every question from every previous convention, burying his head in relentless practice while trying to infer the intentions of the question setters from them.

It had been very easy for him to obtain all the questions. In Central Continent, there were actually people who specialized in selling such information, and such goods had always sold rather well. Clearly, clever people were everywhere.

Recalling those sunless days of grinding away in silence, they truly had been unbearable to look back on. Yet speaking of it, Fang Yuan's true foundation in the refinement path had also been laid during that period. Without that time, he could not possibly have attained his current Refinement Dao Quasi-Grandmaster realm.

Thus, Fang Yuan not only remembered the questions from this convention, but also those from many prior conventions, and even those from several conventions yet to come!

With such an enormous advantage, what did it matter if his refinement path realm was inferior to Huogong Longtou's?

Of course, this method also had a drawback.

That was the butterfly effect.

Fang Yuan's rebirth had altered the original trajectories of many events. Light one tree aflame, and the fire might burn down an entire forest.
