Thinking back on everything that happened in the past month.
Long Zhanye An uncontrollable anger surged in his heart.
I paid the money, but it was like forgotten sundries, no one cared about it.
If you want to learn something, you can only follow Shen Ce like a shadow and capture the fragmentary knowledge.
Frustrated and angry, but more importantly a sense of urgency of being pushed to the edge of a cliff.
He just wants to get that damn badge quickly, fix the coffin, and get out of this disgusting place!
The one-month deadline is coming in the blink of an eye.
This month, Xu Mochen has indeed "kept its promise".
They ignored Long Zhanye, let alone any course arrangements.
Everything Long Zhanye learned came from eavesdropping in corners, observing from a distance, and repeatedly pondering.
Fortunately, the entry requirements for Soul Engineer below level three are indeed not too profound.
The core thing is to use the specific Rare Metal as the carrier, use Soul Power to guide Engraving Knife, and accurately carve "Core Array" on its surface.
The assessment of Level 1 and Level 2 Soul Engineer only requires the completion of the engraving of Core Array.
The shell assembly and overall configuration that are not involved are usually only level three or above involved.
The day of the assessment.
The venue was crowded, with more than 200 students participating, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Among them, there were thirty or forty people like Long Zhanye who came in "at their own expense". Most of them looked anxious and had wandering eyes.
Long Zhanye also saw Shen Ce, An Lengye and Fei Yuyan in the crowd, and they nodded slightly to him.
Assessment content--
Engraving the designated first level Soul Tool Core Array.
In the examination room, metal desks are arranged neatly.
On it are placed Rare Metal blocks of uniform size and shape, as well as various auxiliary tools.
The examiner gave the order and the two-hour countdown began.
A dense and slight "rustling" sound immediately sounded in the examination room, which was the sound of Engraving Knife scratching across the metal surface.
However.
Long Zhanye Just as he concentrated on taking action, he realized something was wrong.
On his desktop, except for the Engraving Knife used for assessment?
He raised his head suddenly and glanced around sharply.
I saw other exchange students from the college, including Shen Ce, holding Engraving Knife and starting to focus on carving.
Most of the students who were in the same batch of "self-funded" admissions as him were at a loss and stood at their desks at a loss.
There is also no Engraving Knife on their table!
This is no longer negligence, but outright making things difficult and frame-up!
Not even the most basic tools are provided, and it is clearly intended to kill these "taken advantage of" them directly in the assessment.
Let them "justifiably" fail the assessment, then pack up and leave, and their tuition fees will naturally be wasted.
Long Zhanye looked at the examiner on the stage, who was a fair-skinned middle-aged man.
At this moment, he was walking leisurely with his hands behind his back, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the students who didn't have Engraving Knife.
There was a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, turning a blind eye to their plight.
Time passed minute by minute.
All around you can hear the sounds of other students concentrating on carving.
But Long Zhanye and those around him who share the same problem can only stand like fools.
Feelings of helplessness and anger spread among those "self-funded students".
Half an hour later.
One after another, some people gave up, spat hard, cursed and left the examination room early--
Without Engraving Knife, everything is empty talk.
Do you just admit defeat like this?
Long Zhanye stared at the cold metal on the table.
No! Absolutely impossible!
His eyes quickly swept across the table, passing by the useless accessories.
Finally, it was settled on an ordinary wire that was randomly discarded and used to fix some small parts.
It is inconspicuous, has an ordinary texture, and is even a little curved.
A crazy idea flashed through my mind.
He reached out and grabbed the wire, but his tentacles were cold and rough.
Long Zhanye circulates Soul Power in the body, trying to condense it on the fingertips, and then carefully guide it to the tip of the wire.
Under the Soul Power wrapper, the originally soft wire seemed to be infused with a touch of toughness.
He recalled the knife angle, Soul Power output rhythm, and the flow pattern of the magic circle lines that he had secretly learned over the past month...
Then, the wrist falls steadily.
"Tsk--"
There was an extremely subtle friction sound that was completely different from professional Engraving Knife.
Under the forced guidance of Soul Power, the tip of the wire scratched a shallow mark on the surface of Rare Metal with difficulty!
This scene.
I was accidentally caught by several students who were carving nearby. Their eyes widened instantly and they almost couldn't hold the Engraving Knife in their hands--
Carving Core Array with... wire? What a joke!
That is a delicate job that requires extremely high Soul Power control precision and metal perception!
But then.
They were even more shocked to find that although Long Zhanye's technique was unfamiliar, it was extremely stable.
The trajectory of writing is actually vaguely followable, and it is not inferior to students like them who have studied for several months!
What they don't know is.
Deep in the deep eyes of Long Zhanye, the lines of Double Pupil are flowing slightly.
With the blessing of Double Pupil, his fine Divine Power perception was amplified to the extreme.
The tiniest texture of the metal, and every bit of blockage Soul Power performed in it, were all clearly presented in his "vision".
Coupled with his nearly repeated "paper talks" over the past month, the specific methods are already familiar to him.
At this moment.
The examiner on the stage also noticed Long Zhanye's behavior.
He was stunned for a moment, then an undisguised sneer appeared on his face and he shook his head.
He taunted the assistant next to him in a low voice. "Look, that fool!"
"Using iron wire? It's so whimsical! It can draw out a ghost!"
Most of the two-hour assessment time has passed.
One after another, students completed their works and handed over the carved Core Array to the examiner for review.
The examiner checked one by one, and those who nodded and left with a happy face.
The few who fail will be dejected.
But there were fewer and fewer people in the examination room, from the initial more than 200 people to less than 20 people.
Shen Ce, An Lengye and Fei Yuyan have successfully passed and received their coveted Level 2 Soul Master Badge.
Before leaving the examination room.
They turned back in unison.
Look at the figure in the center of the field who is still burying his head and "working" on the metal block with a ridiculous wire.
The eyes of the three people all showed complicated emotions, including regret, helplessness, and a hint of admiration for their perseverance.
But in the end they all just shook their heads.
In their view, there is no formal learning and no handy tools.
Relying on only one iron wire, Long Zhanye's persistence was ultimately hopeless.
There is only the last half hour left, and there are less than ten people in the examination room.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
Even the last few students who gritted their teeth and persisted gave up.
In the huge examination room, only Long Zhanye was left.
He seemed to be in a silent world, and all external interference was blocked.
All he could see was the piece of metal and the slightly hot iron wire in his hand that had been soaked in Soul Power.
There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but his breathing was unusually steady...
