Chapter 176 Winning the First Prize Again
“Currently, our association has three second-level thunder attribute imprints, namely Ben Lei, Wu Lei, and Purple Light Lei.”
“Among them Ben Lei and Wu Lei. Thunder is the second-level low-grade, and Ziguang Lei is the second-order mid-grade.”
Zhou Ling looked carefully at the thunderwood sword in his hand.
The dark sword body flashed with faint thunder and lightning, and the power was astonishing, as if there was thunder blooming within it at any time.
After careful inspection, [Intermediate Observation] and [Intermediate Analysis] also appeared.
Based on the lessons learned from the three-color sword, Zhou Ling checked more carefully this time.
I’m afraid I’ve missed something again.
After all, in this kind of assessment, details are extremely important.
“This thunderwood sword is made from second-grade mid-grade thunderwood and is not fused with other materials.”
"The Ben Lei and Five Thunder Seals are not very consistent with the properties of this thunder wood, so we can only choose the Purple Light Seal."
"The Purple Light Seal contains three twenty With the imprint of the Eight Purple Light Thunder Patterns, the burst of thunder power is relatively easier to control.”
After confirming that there were no problems with the material of the Thunder Wood Sword and the training method, Zhou Ling thought about it. Set the refining imprint.
However, the Purple Light Seal is a second-level mid-grade seal, so it is quite difficult.
Zhou Ling placed the spiritual paper, spiritual ink, and spiritual pens and began to try to draw the purple light imprint.
The purple light thunder imprint uses the Lei Yuan spectroscopic method.
This is a commonly used method for refining thunder attribute imprints.
The advantage of this method is that it can lock a single imprint with the help of nodes, without having to draw it in one go.
The person who originally created this method probably considered the difficulty of refining thunder attribute imprints. Carving three imprints would cost too much.
Generally, second-grade inscription masters may not be able to withstand it.
After all, using a spiritual pen to control the thunder attribute spiritual ink consumes more than double the spiritual energy in the body as the other five elements attributes.
With the original foundation of drawing the Five Thunder Seal, Zhou Ling has many advantages in drawing this Purple Thunder Seal.
However, the difficulty is not small.
Fortunately, he also has plenty of time. He plans to enter [Deduction of Fantasy Simulation] first to improve his proficiency in the Purple Light Thunder Seal before starting to draw.
As the [Deduction of Fantasy Simulation] is turned on, the scene in front of you changes slightly, as if a ripple of light is flashing.
Then, the figures of other people around him dispersed, leaving only Zhou Ling sitting on the jade platform.
Zhou Ling recalled the method of making the Purple Light Thunder Seal in his mind, and began to write for the first time.
After a while, a burst of black smoke rose from the spiritual paper.
Failed.
Zhou Ling carefully observed the traces of the inscription on the spiritual paper.
[You are running to observe the purple light imprint, intermediate observation +1, purple light imprint proficiency +4]
[You are running to analyze the purple light imprint, intermediate analysis +1, purple light imprint proficiency +4]
Soon, Zhou Ling found the reason, mainly because the integration between the inscription and the inscription node was not in place.
This is also a problem that often occurs when refining a new imprint for the first time.
After all, the combination between the two belongs to the category of skills.
And each type of imprint is almost different, so you can master it only after you draw it several times and become proficient.
“But it’s not a small consumption. I only drew two imprints.”
After Zhou Ling thought about it carefully, he continued to draw.
With [Deduction of Illusion Simulation], he wants to accumulate proficiency in this Purple Light Thunder Seal as soon as possible.
There is also deductive simulation, which is enough to draw based on your own situation.
Soon, Zhou Ling placed the spiritual paper again and continued drawing.
·······.
"I actually chose the Thunderwood Sword. This little guy is small, but he is very courageous!"
Deacon Qin was looking at Zhou Ling now. He liked Zhou Ling no matter how he looked at him, and he praised him with a smile.
“This little guy is still a little impulsive. The Thunderwood Sword is quite difficult. Thunderwood absorbs the power of thunder condensed from the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth.”
"The thunder attribute itself is not stable, and it is a refining spirit sword, which is even more difficult to control."
Dean Zhong frowned.
Refining a sword is the most difficult thing among weapon refining.
General imprinting is nothing more than handling the inscriptions and imprinting nodes in place.
But the imprint integrated into the sword, in addition to the inscriptions and imprint nodes, also involves attribute sword intent, node seals, and even the integration of sword stones, etc., which is extremely complicated.
Let’s not talk about the rest. Just comprehending the meaning of the sword is difficult for ordinary weapon refiners to achieve.
Generally speaking, it is no less difficult than becoming a second-grade inscription master to practice and comprehend the meaning of the sword.
Even among sword cultivators, there is less than one person in a thousand who can truly understand the meaning of the sword.
So, as a weapon refiner, it is very difficult to refine a good sword.
"It doesn't matter. If he can't pass this time, as long as he can build the foundation next year, the Taoist Academy may be able to give him a place."
Hu Jiaoxi was also a little worried. After all, the difficulty of the thunderwood sword chosen by Zhou Ling was far beyond the standard in his opinion.
No matter what, he still had to fight for Zhou Ling.
Hearing this, Dean Zhong and Taoist Zhang could not help but rub their foreheads.
The number of places for the Taoist examination of the Tiangong Division of the Taoist Academy is limited, not to mention the second-grade places, which cannot be allocated at all.
Generally, it is given to those disciples who have excellent qualifications and have the potential to become third- or fourth-grade technical masters.
Zhou Ling's low-grade spiritual root qualifications are really average, and more importantly, he has not passed the foundation building test.
Neither of them said anything for a while.
·······.
[You are drawing the Purple Light Imprint, I am born with talent +1, Purple Light Imprint proficiency +4]
[You are drawing the Purple Light Imprint, Meticulousness +1, Purple Light Imprint Proficiency +4】
[You are running to observe the purple light imprint, intermediate observation +1, purple light imprint proficiency +4]
[You are running to analyze the purple light imprint, intermediate analysis +1, purple light imprint proficiency +4]
·······.
After failing to draw on the spiritual paper several times in a row, the proficiency of Purple Light Seal also increased rapidly.
At this moment, Zhou Ling was able to draw a complete purple imprint.
And through the continuous correction of [Intermediate Analysis], he also realized the subtleties of the Purple Light Imprint on a deeper level.
Then Zhou Ling tried to draw another one.
As expected, the purple imprint was successfully drawn as if it were a matter of course.
At this time, not only did the imprint on the spiritual paper shine with purple light, but there were also strands of thunder sword energy condensed on the surface from time to time, which looked extremely powerful.
“I sealed a touch of thunder sword energy into the imprint node, and the power was indeed very different.”
Zhou Ling carefully observed the imprint he had just drawn.
It is as if you can feel the surging thunder sword energy contained within it.
Although what is sealed is just a wisp of his thunder sword energy, it can only be used once.
But for the assessment, it is enough.
“The power of this seal should be enough!”
Zhou Ling murmured.
Then leave [Deduction of Fantasy Simulation].
When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Ling felt that almost 40% of his consciousness had been consumed.
Still within the acceptable range.
[You are drawing a purple light imprint in the illusion simulation, performing the illusion simulation +1, soul +4]
Although the consumption is not small, the improvement is real.
“Now the proficiency of the Purple Light Seal should be enough to ensure that it can be successfully drawn on the Thunderwood Sword!”
Zhou Ling murmured.
No pain, no gain, even though it only took more than an hour to draw in [Deduction of Fantasy Simulation].
But with the blessing and improvement of various talents, I have now mastered it.
"Recover your consciousness first, and then start refining!"
Afterwards, Zhou Ling took out another soul-nourishing pill and drank it, quickly recovering.
At noon, the competition on the assessment platform was getting close to intense.
During this period, many people also withdrew from the assessment due to excessive consumption or successive refining failures.
Although I am unwilling to give up, the competition is so cruel, the fittest survive, there must be winners and losers.
On Zhou Ling's jade platform, he had fully recovered at this moment.
Not only the spiritual consciousness is restored, but the spiritual power in the body is also restored to its peak with the help of [Spiritual Power Affinity] and [Five Elements Gathering].
He was looking intently at the Thunderwood Sword in front of him.
He took a deep breath, held his breath and concentrated, then moved his palm, and a ball of five-color flames poured out. After a slight pause, the light bloomed, like a five-color fire dragon. With a "chi-la" sound, the flames enveloped the Thunderwood Sword fiercely.
At the same time, Zhou Ling held the spiritual pen in his hand, dipped it in ink, and combined with his spiritual consciousness, began to carve the purple light imprint on the thunderwood sword.
After burning the incense, Zhou Ling exhaled with bright eyes.
At this time, the Thunderwood Sword was gleaming with thunder and lightning, and the sword body was releasing an extremely sharp energy.
“The second-order mid-grade thunderwood sword is finally done!”
“This thunderwood sword node seals a wisp of thunder sword energy, plus a second-order low-grade thunderwood sword. The attribute of spirit sealing is enough to make its power close to the level of high-grade spiritual weapons.”
Zhou Ling said secretly, although his face was full of fatigue, his eyes were full of smiles.
This thunderwood sword is very powerful, and coupled with the three-color sword in front, he estimated that there should be no problem in entering the top six.
At this moment, he glanced around.
I found that the other monks in the mask were busy with their own affairs.
The person in front is a young monk and an alchemist.
At this moment, his forehead was stained with sweat, and he was controlling the flame to burn the alchemy furnace.
Others are in a similar situation and are all busy.
Zhou Ling looked at it, and there was still more than half an hour before the assessment was over.
First, he looked at the two spiritual swords. After confirming that there were no problems, he held the two spiritual swords in both hands and walked to the judges' seat.
“What? Is it done?”
"There is still more than half an hour until the end of the assessment!"
"Completed? He practiced eight levels of qi and was the first to complete it. Can he pass the assessment?"
"If this guy can pass the second-grade assessment, it would be too scary."
"What's scary? This is called inspiration. What's wrong with the low-grade spiritual roots!"
Looking at Zhou Ling, he was the most The assessment was almost completed, and the disciples watching in the square couldn't help but exclaimed and commented.
In fact, compared with others, Zhou Ling is too conspicuous. He is only a freshman in the Taoist Academy this year and dares to take the second-grade Taoist examination.
And it’s only the eighth level of Qi training.
If he really passes, doesn't it mean that his technical level is much stronger than that of Liu Yu and the others.
"Zhou Ling, are you sure you have completed the assessment?"
Seeing Zhou Ling walk to the judges' table, Teacher Hu asked aloud, with a look of relief on his face.
Regardless of whether Zhou Ling can successfully build the foundation, the talent he has shown now proves that he was absolutely right to give him the seed spot for foundation building.
Lu Yunxi’s pretty face on the side also showed a faint smile.
Judging from the assessment process, Zhou Ling lived up to her expectations.
Compared with half a year ago, the level of inscriptions has improved by more than one step.
“Yes, teach!”
Zhou Ling said respectfully.
Afterwards, Hu Jiaoxi stood up and took the spirit sword from Zhou Ling.
One was placed on the jade plate in front of Dean Zhong, and the other was placed on the jade plate in front of Qin Zhizheng.
The two of them glanced at each other with their consciousness.
After a while, Deacon Qin couldn’t help but nodded and said with a smile, “Not bad!”
"The second-order mid-grade thunderwood sword contains a purple light imprint, plus the thunder attribute sealing spirit, and a thunder sword energy, which is enough to make this second-order high-grade thunderwood sword reach the power of the second-order top grade."
"Repair The three-color sword is intact as before, not only the imprinting nodes are brand new, but the sword's intention is also condensed, even slightly better than before."
Qin Zhizheng nodded to Zhou Ling as he spoke. There is pure appreciation in his eyes.
Then he said to the other judges, "This level is naturally above the first level, and it can enter the top three. What do you, Dean Zhong, think?"
In addition to being The head of Xuanyuan Taoist Academy also has a position in the Tiangong Department.
Therefore, when it comes to ratings such as top three, it is natural to ask other judges.
As for the final ranking, it depends on the level of other assessment monks.
If he were at the same level as Zhou Ling, then Zhou Ling would still be able to win steadily with his time advantage.
“I agree!”
“I agree too!”
Dean Zhong and Taoist Zhang both nodded in agreement.
Unanimously passed, Zhou Ling received a top grade and has entered the top three.
“Thank you, seniors!”
Zhou Ling hurriedly raised his hands to express his thanks.
I was so excited that I didn’t expect that I would enter the top three!
Then he left the assessment platform and walked toward the outside of the square.
"Brother Ling, you are so awesome!"
Wang Xin, who had been waiting in the square, now came up to congratulate Zhou Ling.
In her opinion, Zhou Ling can definitely pass the assessment.
Zhou Ling nodded to Wang Xin with a relaxed expression.
During these days, Wang Xin returned to the Taoist Temple, but temporarily lived outside with her mother.
“Brother Ling, how are you!”
Sun Dajie also asked.
“It depends on other people’s results!”
Zhou Ling replied.
Although he has been rated as the top one just now and can still enter the top three, the specific situation will not be determined until others complete the assessment.
Then, I sat quietly on the futon and waited patiently.
Half an hour passed quickly, and now the sunset was shining on the square.
Qin Zhizheng has also announced that this assessment is over, and all the monks who participated in the assessment will hand over their spiritual objects.
Soon, Qin Zhizheng began to announce the results, "This time the Tiangong Division's second-grade Taoist assessment and rankings are led by Zhou Ling."
"The other five monks who passed the examination are He Sheng and Nanfeng..."
"Ye Zhilan, the leader of the second-grade Taoist examination..."
Qin Zhizheng's words were sonorous and powerful, resounding throughout the square.
Looking across Zhou Ling, there was admiration in his eyes.
Boom!
The whole square exploded instantly, and all the monks looked at Zhou Ling in shock.
You must know that this is the second-grade Taoist examination.
As long as you pass the assessment, it means that your future will be bright and you are already a member of the true Dao Alliance system.
The participants were basically foundation-building monks. He, Zhou Ling, was a genuine eighth-level Qi practitioner.
This can also lead to the first place!
A twelve-year-old casual cultivator at the eighth level of Qi training was actually able to refine a middle-grade spiritual sword!
This is really unbelievable!
“How did he do it?”
“This level can even be said to be far better than the proud man Liu Yu and others.”
“This is really It’s incredible!”
"This guy's imprint level is so amazing!"
As Qin Zhizheng finished speaking, the monks on the field couldn't help but exclaimed and commented.
No one expected that Zhou Ling would become the leader of the assessment.
"Brother Ling, you are the leader again!" Sun Dajie exclaimed excitedly.
Although Wang Yu has become accustomed to the surprises brought by Zhou Ling, her face still shows surprise at this moment.
Zhou Ling's performance can only be described as amazing!
Only Wang Xin looked calm and matter-of-fact.
"Haha! Extraordinary performance!"
Zhou Ling said with a smile.
Becoming the leader directly still caught him a little off guard.
I feel like my level is not that high!
"All disciples who have passed the assessment will report to the Tiangong Division tomorrow!"
At this time Qin Zhizheng's voice sounded again.
“Let’s go back first, and I’ll treat you to dinner tonight!”
Zhou Ling said happily.
Then everyone left the square.
