Sweet music, the air rippling with a light sandalwood, give people the feeling of calm.


    Thousands of candidates struggled out of their eggshells, their faces covered with fatigue and haggardness.


    Many people sighed and shook their heads.


    Some people groan with relief and walk towards the rest area in twos and threes.


    "This year''s examination questions are too difficult. I finished 70% of the questions at the end. I''m afraid I won''t pass the exam!"


    "That''s right, this topic is getting more and more abnormal year by year!"


    "I''m ok. I''ve won two big questions. I''ve reviewed the same kind of questions in advance. Maybe I can get 600 percent."


    "Jiang Shaoyang, that monster, is exaggerating. He handed in the paper more than an hour in advance. I don''t know how many points he can get in the exam. Will he break through 800?"


    "It''s normal for Jiang Shaoyang to score many points in the exam, but there is another guy who will hand in the paper with him at the same time. Who is that?"


    "Shaoyang!"


    Dozens of outstanding candidates from deep sea university naturally went to Jiang Shaoyang and saw him sitting on the chair alone in a daze. They came up to greet him one after another.


    "This is --"


    When they saw Jiang Shaoyang''s hands on the tea table, they all took a breath of air.


    Jiang Shaoyang''s hands were red and swollen, 30% bigger than normal, steaming, as if he had just put them into a steamer.


    "What''s the matter?"


    The crowd was shocked.


    "Nothing. It''s been a long time."


    Jiang Shaoyang sighed. His slightly dull expression suddenly turned into intense excitement. His eyes were bright, like two shining gems embedded in the socket of his eyes.


    "Hello, do you know --"


    There are also some candidates of deep sea university who don''t know what happened. They just see many students gathered here, so they also gathered around.


    One of them was beaming and said with a smile, "just now, there was a guy who handed in the paper with Shaoyang at the same time. I just heard that it was Li Yao!"


    "What?"


    Now, everyone is happy.


    The veteran student couldn''t help laughing, and the more frivolous one was laughing, "no, that guy is Li Yao who claims to challenge us? It''s ridiculous. If you can''t hold on to the five hour written test, you''ll give up halfway! "


    With a big bucket in his hand, Li Yao walked over in a leisurely manner, turning a blind eye to hundreds of candidates from deep sea university and inserting himself into the crowd.


    "Shua, Shua, Shua!"


    Innumerable fierce eyes pierced him in an instant.


    People didn''t expect that this guy was bold enough to go deep into the encirclement of hundreds of "enemies" after uttering such nonsense.


    Although it is said that Li Yao is very good at fighting, we are all craftsmen, gentle people and don''t fight.


    But at least... Can you look down on him, laugh at him and tease him?


    "What''s this guy doing here?"


    "I don''t know. He has something in his hand. It''s chilly."


    "It''s said that this guy is very violent. Did he come to pick a quarrel with us on purpose? Go to the invigilator


    Li Yao is like a bloodthirsty shark, wandering in the deep sea, fish and shrimp have made way for him, no one dares to stop him for half a second.


    "Wow!"


    Li Yao went straight to Jiang Shaoyang, poured a large bucket of ice on the tea table, then sat down, put his hands into the iceberg and sighed.


    His hands, like Jiang Shaoyang''s, were red, swollen and steaming.


    As Jiang Shaoyang put his hands into the iceberg to cool down, he stared at Li Yao


    "Among my peers, I''ve never met a master like you. Today''s World War I was very happy, but after fighting for a long time, I''m still equal. I''m really sorry!"


    "Fortunately, there are also three rounds of the registered smelter examination, which just let us distinguish between the top and the bottom."


    With this remark, all candidates of deep sea university were stunned and turned into puppet clay.


    Everyone''s appearance is dull and silly, but his heart is full of fury.


    "I, did I hear you wrong?"


    "It turns out that the master Jiang Shaoyang said is Li Yao!"


    "It sounds like Jiang Shaoyang has had a match with him. They are even."


    "Li Yao''s strength is even equal to that of Jiang Shaoyang, the tenth star?"


    For a moment, hundreds of eyes turned to Li Yao, from disdain, contempt, ridicule to surprise, fear, shock!


    At this time, a few faint exclamations suddenly rang out in all directions.


    The hall, which was a little noisy just now, was dead silent in an instant


    A huge light curtain appeared on the semi arc dome, projecting the scores of thousands of candidates one by one.


    More than 60% of the candidates'' names and scores are all displayed in brilliant golden runes.


    The names and grades of the candidates who are less than 60% are shown in a slightly dim green rune.


    Among a large number of green numbers, golden numbers are rare.


    Most of the golden numbers stay between 600 and 700, and few of them can break through 700%.


    Among all the numbers, there are two numbers that start with "9", which stand out from the crowd and are particularly eye-catching.


    "Deep sea university, Jiang Shaoyang, 931 points!"


    "Dahuang war court, Li Yao, 901 points!"


    "Oh


    The hall, which has been silent for ten seconds, is like the dreary ocean before the storm. After the eerie tranquility, the surging energy bursts out!


    "Jiang Shaoyang scored 931 in the exam, which is really worthy of... What? Who else scored more than 900? Li Yao? It''s impossible


    "Li Yao! Li Yao from Dahuang war yard! Isn''t it the ignorant and fearless maniac? He even got more than 900 points in the exam! "


    "I remember this guy and Jiang Shaoyang handed in their papers at the same time. Both of them were more than an hour ahead of time. I didn''t expect that he was so powerful. No wonder he dared to speak wild!"


    "Monster! Both are monsters


    The examinees of deep sea university have been hit hard.


    They looked at their pitiful 67% and Li Yao''s shining 901 again and again. They couldn''t believe it. They asked themselves again and again in their hearts whether there was something wrong with their eyes and ears at the same time?


    "In the first round, you won."


    Li Yaoping said quietly that he was not surprised by the result.


    He was born in unofficial way. On the level of solid theory, he could never surpass the academic genius of Jiang Shaoyang.


    A 30 point gap is normal.


    "I won''t win."


    Jiang Shaoyang admits frankly, "many of the people who have made the questions are from the first Department of deep sea university. I''m very familiar with their writing style. It''s natural that they can get more than 900 points. But you come from Dahuang war academy, and you have different ideas about refining weapons. How can you get more than 900 points?"


    "Strong! You are really strong


    "I''m more and more looking forward to defeating you in the next two rounds!"


    There is not much rest time between the three rounds of the registered smelter examination.


    This is not only a contest of knowledge and skill, but also a contest of spirit and will.


    After the results of the first round of written examination were announced, the candidates who failed in the exam were dismayed to leave under the command of the military and went to the hostel specially prepared by the military to have a rest.


    The remaining 844 candidates, however, re entered the examination room and sat in the eggshell shaped examination cabin again.


    With the runes on the eggshell shining one by one, the test cabin sank into the ground, bringing the examinee into the huge underground base.


    In a large-scale training room, thousands of furnace simulators are arranged neatly.


    This simulator only has a ring control interface composed of more than ten light screens, and does not connect with the furnace system which occupies a large area.


    The crystal brain with strong computing power can simulate all kinds of complicated conditions in the furnace, even thousands of complicated faults.


    What the examinee should do is to eliminate all faults and complete hundreds of refining tasks.


    For each successful completion of a task, you will get corresponding points, which will be automatically accumulated. If you complete 1000 points in five hours, even if you pass the second round, you can enter the final "actual combat test" link.


    "Didi!"


    In front of Lee, the circular control interface unfolds slowly like the colorful wings of a butterfly.


    Second round, simulator test, start!


    In a flash, the light green control interface just now turned into a fiery orange, and all performance indicators jumped wildly. Suddenly, they soared to the limit, and suddenly dropped to zero.


    A scarlet and bloody message suddenly appeared, showing that this "refining furnace" is on the verge of explosion!


    The first test is to find out the reason why the furnace is about to explode. Through the control interface, all faults can be eliminated and the normal state can be restored!


    At first hand, it was a very difficult topic, and many examinees uttered a cry of despair.


    But Li Yao''s fighting spirit was furious. His hands were slightly red and swollen, as if they were twining the flame of Honglian!


    In the monitoring room, more than a dozen light screens show all the refining images of Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang.


    Although their styles and techniques are different, they have one thing in common.


    Come on, lightning flint!


    The three experienced craftsmen, without saying a word, quietly watched the summit duel between the two monster level examinees, sweating profusely, unable to calm down for a long time.


    When both of them were in a crazy state and their hands were racing to the limit, Dong Liuqi finally couldn''t help it. He wiped his fingers with a cold sweat and moaned:


    "Today''s young people are really amazing. They are both less than 20 years old, aren''t they?"


    "If I were 20 years old, ten would not be enough for them to plug their teeth!"


    In the main control crystal brain, the two people''s points are transformed into two progress bars, which are displayed directly in front of the three examiners.


    With the completion of a task, the progress bar of the two people catch up with each other, extremely fast!


    Finally——


    After three hours, 52 minutes and 37 seconds, Li Yao''s progress bar darted through the finish line and took the lead in winning 1000 points!


    Two minutes and nine seconds later, Jiang Shaoyang''s progress bar was late.


    "The second round, you win."


    In the simulation training room, countless examinees are trapped in the complex tasks, so busy that they have cramps and foaming.


    Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang, however, confront each other quietly.


    "In the first two rounds, we tied again."


    "But you and I know very well that both the written test and the simulator are just boring games."


    "The third round, actual combat test, is the real contest!"
