The location for the test is at a major school equally distant from the Ten Great Universities.
Zhang Yu was led into a closed room, waiting for the test to begin.
During this ti, not to ntion the judges, he didn’t even see any other contestants.
Until the test officially started, as the test content and the rules appeared in his field of vision, Zhang Yu felt his connection with the Spirit Realm suddenly cut off.
"Does the test require disconnecting from the network?"
Zhang Yu looked at the test rules, and indeed it stated that during the test, connection to the public network of the Spirit Realm was not possible.
However, the competition organizers provided a local Spirit Realm network to use, allowing access to reference materials prepared by the organizers.
After scanning through the test rules, Zhang Yu looked at the specific content of the test.
He summarized in his mind, thinking: "Hmm, it’s about designing a magic treasure that can search for items, store items, pick up items, and transport items in a complex terrain where thunder and fire continuously descend..."
"Once the design is completed, the magic treasure will undergo a simulation test in the Spirit Realm."
"Within the stipulated ti, the more items picked up and transported, the better the score."
Zhang Yu’s eyes slightly moved, and then he looked at the introduction of the test site under the Spirit Realm simulation.
It was a site in the Spirit Realm simulation, approximately 10 square kiloters, including sandy areas, forests, lakes, and other various terrains.
The magic treasure designed by the contestants must search for specified items and transport them to different designated locations in such a complex terrain.
Looking at the items that need to be searched and transported, in addition to various spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones scattered throughout the test environnt, there were also specified grass, trees, stones, various herbs, minerals, plants, and even liquids and gases at designated locations, among many other things.
Looking at these specific requirents, Zhang Yu thought inwardly: "This magic treasure must have the ability to resist thunder and fire."
"It must be able to move at high speed in a complex environnt."
"It must also be able to search for items of different colors, shapes, and appearances in a complex background."
"Then it must be capable of picking up and transporting items of various shapes, even those in liquid and gaseous states..."
The more Zhang Yu looked at these requirents, the more serious his eyes beca: "The final and most crucial point is that the cost must be controlled below 30 spirit coins."
After summarizing these requirents in his mind, Zhang Yu sighed in his mind: "This test is practically an assessnt of the tester’s basic skills in artifact refining."
"The movent, detection, loading, transportation, durability, and cost of the magic treasure... if any aspect is lacking, the score will be poor."
"Even for , it’s quite challenging."
Zhang Yu did not imdiately start designing the magic treasure but began to construct a work plan in his mind.
He understood that relying solely on his existing basic abilities to design might not guarantee a spot in the top ten.
"But fortunately, with my exceptional talent, I have the assistance of Heaven’s Craftsmanship and the Spiritual Rhythm Heart, which are well-suited for use here."
As Zhang Yu contemplated, he flipped through the reference materials provided by the organizers and found not only related materials on various artifact refining techniques but also various diagrams of magic treasures for reference.
"From the reference materials provided by the organizers, it seems they encourage contestants to learn while competing, not expecting us to rely entirely on what we’ve accumulated in our minds from start to finish."
Zhang Yu gradually ford an idea in his mind: "First, filter the diagrams and find those that can et the test requirents, then use the Spiritual Rhythm Heart to fuse the diagrams, obtaining the blueprint most likely to achieve a good score in the test."
"Then use Heaven’s Craftsmanship to optimize and improve the defects in the design."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu slightly nodded: "Now, the most important thing is the choice of diagrams."
Zhang Yu understood that the Spiritual Rhythm Heart also had a usage limit within a certain period.
After all, each use of this talent consud the inspiration in his brain.
Based on his own attempts, at most in a period, it can be used a dozen tis. The more it is used, the more he feels his thoughts beco rigid, unable to operate the Spiritual Rhythm Heart, usually requiring a few weeks of rest to fully recover.
"After completing the design of the semi-magic remains type dynamic work boots last ti, I haven’t used the Spiritual Rhythm Heart at all."
"Using it ten tis now shouldn’t be a problem."
Zhang Yu understood that since the Spiritual Rhythm Heart had a usage limit, the selection of diagrams for fusion was crucial.
"Diagrams of similar types are more likely to produce good results."
"But if they are too similar, what’s the point of fusing them?"
Zhang Yu knew that the balance needed to be achieved by his judgnt.
In a blink of an eye, six hours passed, and Zhang Yu finally completed the design diagram at the last mont.
He rubbed his slightly swollen and dizzy head, but his mouth gradually revealed a satisfied smile.
...
In a conference room within the Spirit Realm.
The figure of True Monarch Xian Yin erged, and in front of him, projections of the other judges from the Spirit Realm also appeared one by one.
Nie Lian True Monarch from Sky Demon University calmly said, "Ladies and gentlen, the design drawings of all 15 contestants have been completed and recorded one by one."
"Next, True Gods will conduct simulations within the Spirit Realm to carry out the testing of the 15 Magic Treasures in the simulated environnt."
"This test will be conducted fairly, justly, and openly, strictly following the testing rules."
"From start to finish, every detail of the students’ design process, as well as the discussions and scores of all judges, will be fully docunted."
"I hope everyone can do their utmost to select outstanding talents for Kunxu."
"I hereby pledge that regardless of their performance, no matter who backs these students, right is right and wrong is wrong. With here today, no one should think about causing trouble during this design competition."
Listening to Nie Lian True Monarch’s speech, True Monarch Xian Yin felt that there was a hidden aning, seemingly referring to issues related to Magnetic Pole True Monarch and Zhang Yu.
However, True Monarch Xian Yin was not confident about Zhang Yu at the mont, and with countless True Gods recording from various angles, he dared not speak rashly.
True Monarch Xian Yin could only silently think to himself, "Magnetic Pole, you better give Zhang Yu proper tutoring, at least get him in the top 10, otherwise he’ll make us lose face at other universities and in front of the Heavenly Court."
The next mont, as the lights flashed in the conference room, the simulation test officially began.
The eting room within the Spirit Realm seed to teleport, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above a mountainous forest.
True Monarch Xian Yin lowered his gaze and saw that not far outside the forest was a sandy land, and not far from that was a lake...
This complex terrain spanning ten kiloters was the simulated testing environnt within the Spirit Realm.
Simultaneously, Nie Lian True Monarch said, "The first Magic Treasure to be tested is designed by Leng Wuya from Sky Sword University."
The design drawings of Leng Wuya appeared in front of all the judges.
True Monarch Xian Yin glanced over and thought to himself, "A flying sword?"
The next mont, countless materials appeared out of thin air in the test site.
Then, as if accelerated hundreds or thousands of tis, the Artifact Refining process was completed at an incredible speed, showcasing the flying sword from the design drawings to everyone.
With a soft whoosh, the flying sword broke through layers of sonic barriers, with a roaring thunder sound, gliding across the test site’s sky.
Although bolts of thunder and fire occasionally fell from the sky, they were easily dodged by the flying sword.
Heavenly Wisdom True Monarch from Vajra University comnted, "Multiple layers of restrictions stacked, along with the Breaking Sky Sword Edge and electromagnetic thrust design, this flying sword can maintain supersonic cruise for an extended period."
anwhile, the flying sword swooped to the ground with a whoosh to begin high-speed flight near the ground.
True Monarch Xian Yin praised, "Anti-gravity design coupled with adaptive flight control, its evasion ability is strong, it can fly close to the ground and search for target objects in complex terrains."
The next mont, Sword Qi emitted from the flying sword, engulfing groups of cubes within it.
Watching the Sword Qi carrying nurous cubes suddenly decelerate and head towards the target location, True Monarch of Bloodfall from Nether University calmly said, "Sword and Qi combine, this is for transporting people, right? There’s no cost-effectiveness in using it for cargo transport."
Bone Marrow True Monarch from Bone University shook his head and said, "After all, a flying sword is good for reconnaissance, not for transporting goods."
Heavenly Wisdom True Monarch speculated, "It might be relying on speed to transport items frequently, but it doesn’t have terrain mory, so it re-scans each ti, which lowers the transport frequency."
True Monarch Xian Yin thought to himself, "Although not excellent in transport, at least all functions are completed, a passing score is no problem."
As the test concluded, the judges scored one by one, with five judges, each could score up to 100 points, totaling a maximum of 500 points.
The total score for this flying sword was 322 points.
Next, a work by a Vajra University student took the stage.
A massive war chariot rampaged through the test site, triggering Gang Qi to break through obstacles and collect target objects, finally delivering them to the destination.
Nie Lian True Monarch comnted, "Using high-strength materials to withstand thunder and fire, using maximum capacity and weight-bearing ability to collect as many items as possible, and then transport them to the designated location."
"It’s a good idea."
"But it’s too slow and adapts poorly to terrain."
Nie Lian True Monarch shook his head, "It collected a bunch of stuff, yet even less than a third was delivered before ti ran out... 65 points."
As the five judges scored one by one, the final score for this chariot was 329 points.
After a few more contestants, a work by a student nad Buried Star Refining from Nether University appeared.
Seeing the content in the design drawings, True Monarch Xian Yin thought to himself, "Demon Descendant bionic technology?"
