Cai Ying was still trying to make one last effort.
"Aren't you the First Demon of the Six Realms?"
That implied that the First Demon should be killing everyone on sight.
"Where do you get so many twisted ideas, get lost!"
After speaking, Brother Cheng directly occupied the center position of her Sea of Souls, taking over her body.
Because this possession process occurred within the competition space, even the three top Demon Emperors above did not detect any clue.
In the distance, other combat groups were already fighting fiercely, while in the artifact refining group's competition space, square stone platforms rose under each person's feet.
These stone platforms were isolated by space rules, forming independent and non-interfering areas.
The first competition, material identification, was about to begin.
A Holy Hall Elder flew to the front of the competition space and slowly spoke.
"Although everyone is already experienced, I must repeat the rules of the competition."
"This competition includes eighteen thousand types of artifact refining materials ranging from Tier One to Tier Nine, randomly selected, consistent across all groups."
"Material identification tests the Dao of compatibility."
"Selecting an auxiliary material that can enhance the effectiveness of a primary material is considered a completed combination."
"The assessnt ti is a quarter hour."
"The more combinations completed within a quarter hour, the better the score."
"One mistake along the way leads to imdiate elimination!"
Upon hearing this, Brother Cheng finally understood what this assessnt was testing.
It was essentially a matching ga.
For example, the Tier Nine primary material Profound Cloud Blood Ice inherently possesses dual powers of the Ice and Blood elents, capable of imbuing an Immortal Artifact with these powers.
Adding a Tier Seven auxiliary material like Sun-breaking Honglin can increase its Ice-power by thirty percent.
This is highly effective for enhancing the power of an Immortal Artifact.
This test may appear to be a simple matching ga, but it actually requires a deep understanding of various materials.
When the competition officially started, a dizzying array of material illusions appeared in the void in front of each person.
There were as many as 500,000 Immortal Artifact Masters taking the assessnt simultaneously, and even with the abundant resources of the Holy Hall, it was impossible to use real high-tier Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in this evaluation.
The illusions were rely the outer shapes of the materials, not real Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.
However, there were apparently so special arrangents made; once a correct match was made, the primary and auxiliary material illusions would disappear instantly, counting as one completion.
Among the 500,000 Immortal Artifact Masters present, none moved imdiately when the competition began.
They started by observing and morizing.
There was no other way, as this test was quite abnormal.
The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures associated with artifact refining from Tier One to Tier Nine far exceed eighteen thousand kinds.
The true number perhaps exceeds even thousands of tis that.
The eighteen thousand types present were randomly selected, with many being extrely obscure.
It was almost impossible for the gathered Immortal Artifact Masters to have seen all of them, and even if they had, they couldn't possibly know the characteristics of each one.
Especially for those Tier Five and Tier Six Immortal Artifact Masters, due to their limited perspective, their knowledge of Tier Eight and Tier Nine Heavenly and Earthly Treasures was often only hearsay, with no real understanding.
This evaluation naturally favored higher-tier Immortal Artifact Masters.
"Look quickly, Master Tu Qin has started!"
"My god, in just one blink, has he really rembered everything?"
"So fast!"
In the field, Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master Tu Qin's hands were constantly in motion.
Primary and auxiliary materials were rapidly combined and then disappeared.
The entire process was like flowing water, without any pause, leaving spectators dazzled.
On average, he completed at least four combinations per second.
The competition lasted about fifteen minutes, and at this rate, he was likely to finish around 3600 combinations.
This was an incredibly astonishing achievent.
Both the Holy Hall and the outside world were filled with rising exclamations of surprise.
"In previous contests, the top scorer in the first round usually only completed about 2500."
"Yes, before this, the top ten often hovered around 2000."
"This is too fast, terrifying!"
"This is a completely different level..."
"He is indeed worthy of being a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master!"
"Not even a hint of slowing down!"
"Such extensive knowledge and swift reactions are truly breathtaking!"
Not to ntion the ordinary observing demon cultivators, even the three top Demon Emperors on the high platform were fully concentrated on watching Master Tu Qin's every move.
Their eyes showed admiration and eagerness.
It was as if Master Tu Qin himself was a Supre-level treasure.
Behind them, in the depths of the Holy Hall, three Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Masters belonging to the Holy Hall were also watching intently.
"Truly equal in stature to us, Tu Qin!"
"Indeed, the fa is deserved!"
"This competition is aningless for him, just based on this first round, we can already announce the winner."
"Hahaha, it's good for everyone to witness the grace of a Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master."
anwhile, outside, waves of amazent could be heard.
"Master Pu Xin has started as well!"
"Master Luo Yuuan has completed the first one!"
"Master Ziyan is also fast!"
Those Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact Masters, after watching for a few seconds, also began their actions.
This assessnt inherently granted them advantages in knowledge and experience as high-tier Immortal Artifact Masters.
And after them, so talented Seventh-grade Immortal Artifact Masters also slowly began to take action.
In fact, for Celestial Immortals with strong Immortal Souls, it only took an instant to look over all the materials and rember them.
An instant was enough for them to retain everything they saw.
But the assessnt itself had another level of difficulty.
For example, so primary materials could only match with one specific auxiliary material, while that auxiliary material could match with three other primary materials.
If that auxiliary material was used for other primary materials, then the current primary material would no longer have a compatible match.
This also tested the ability to strategize and allocate.
Plus, there were many materials they were unfamiliar with, making the entire process mind-bending.
Those Immortal Artifact Masters who started later had to think carefully, contemplating every next step of the pairing process.
Although many seed to be in continuous action, they were noticeably slower than Master Tu Qin and several Tier Eight Immortal Artifact Masters.
However, this did not include Brother Cheng.
Though Cai Ying attracted quite a bit of attention, almost everyone saw her as just entertainnt.
When the competition began, the majority focused on Master Tu Qin, the real Ninth-grade Immortal Artifact Master.
The rest mainly watched the few Eighth-Grade Immortal Artifact Masters.
When these top masters entered the 'fast lane,' so of the demon cultivators slowly shifted their gaze back to watch the entertainnt.
And what they saw shocked them.
"What the hell, what's happening?"
Inside the competition space, Cai Ying, the female Celestial Immortal, had her hands transford into a blur.
Material after material was quickly combined and imdiately disappeared.
The speed of disappearance couldn't even keep up with her transition to the next one.
