Xiao Chenlong stepped forward again, drawing the attention of all the contestants.
"The results of the first round are out. Congratulations to those who achieved good results. Those who did not perform well, do not lose heart; keep working hard in the second round.
"I trust none of you enjoy long-winded speeches, so I will not waste words. Please prepare yourselves. The second round begins."
Every contestant received a copy of the Beginner Soul Tool Technology Data, along with the tools and materials needed to make a Soul Tool.
Those who had previously studied Soul Tools would have an advantage in this round, though not by much. After all, Xiao Chenlong had already revealed the topic beforehand.
Anyone with a functioning brain would surely have crammed Soul Tool knowledge.
However, there was indeed one exception. Yes, it was Yu Xiaogang again.
Yu Xiaogang had known nothing about Soul Tools to begin with, and after Xiao Chenlong revealed the topic, he had not even made a last-minute effort.
Looking at the Beginner Soul Tool Data before him, as well as the materials and tools for crafting Soul Tools, Yu Xiaogang was completely bewildered.
In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Soul Tools had never been worth taking seriously. From beginning to end, he had regarded them as toys. The Soul Tools of the present truly were not much use either, only serving minor functions in everyday life.
It could not be helped. He was simply an extremely narrow-minded man, unable to see the immense potential contained within Soul Tools.
Meanwhile, some people with a deep understanding of Soul Tools saw the Beginner Soul Tool Data from Ten Thousand Years Later in their hands and practically had their eyes light up.
Things that had once baffled them in their Soul Tool research suddenly became clear
