Chapter 635 Double Registration
At the foot of Ningyuan Mountain, the Tianyuan Conference audition site.

The academy would naturally support such a major event. There were two examiners on the scene, both professors of the academy. One of them was yawning, sleepy, and disheveled, and it was Yu Qiudi; the other was an old man with a refined temperament and gray hair on his temples, and he was the academy's professor of illusion, Yao Yuhui.

The reason why professors from the creativity and illusion schools were asked to be the examiners was mainly because of the mechanical puppets used for the examination and the concealing barriers built on site.

This kind of selection activity is mainly for independent cultivators, and anyone from all walks of life can participate. Although the college is the main organizer, it is impossible for all four venues to be open to anyone, and it is impossible to randomly choose to hold the auditions in the open space at the foot of the mountain. In order to prevent being seen by ordinary people, a shielding barrier was set up in advance. If there is a problem with the barrier, as a master of illusion, Professor Yao can naturally deal with it in the first time.

As for the high-level puppets that serve as opponents in the audition exams, it is certainly difficult to keep them intact after so many rounds. Teacher Yao has a treasure that can repair them, and when necessary, Yu Qiudi can also use his creative ability to temporarily manufacture parts to fill the gaps. The abilities of the two ensure the normal operation of the audition exams these days.

As for the content of the assessment, it is the same as announced before, defeating four high-level puppets within three minutes. Of course, they don't have to be destroyed, as long as they can be driven out of the field, you win.

However, unlike the finals and semi-finals, the use of any treasures is not allowed in this kind of audition.

Come to think of it, the rules for the finals and semi-finals are that players are allowed to bring three treasures obtained through chaos missions, but to verify whether the players have violated the rules, they must use the legendary rule-based mythical treasures. The semi-finals and finals are held at the same time, so they can be verified on the spot, but the auditions are held in different places all over the world, and the mythical treasures will not be divided, so they can only ban all treasures.

One after another, contestants came up to challenge, but most of them returned empty-handed. Without the treasure, four high-level puppets were indeed difficult to deal with, especially for certain factions.

For example, those from the illusion and spell schools, their abilities are very powerful against living creatures, but have little effect against mechanical enemies; then there are those from the manipulation school, whose main means of combat is to manipulate weapons that are convenient to them to fight, but now that they have been deprived of their Noble Phantasms, most of their abilities have been wasted; then there are those from the insight school, most of whom are used as auxiliary forces, and their ability to fight alone is weak, and without the use of Noble Phantasms, they have almost no attack power.

After these people were eliminated, they kept complaining that the rule of not being allowed to use magic weapons was unfair to them, who were practitioners who focused on spiritual power.

As more and more people were eliminated, the complaints became louder and louder. In the end, no one knew who took the lead, and some even began to protest directly to the examiners, making it impossible to conduct subsequent auditions.

"Your rules only allow violent elements from the fighting and elemental factions to pass. It's so unfair to us!"

Faced with these voices of protest, Yao Yuhui looked at Yu Qiudi beside him and saw that she was still dozing off with her pillow in her arms, and he couldn't help but shook his head.

"Things like this always happen, and I have to deal with them." As he said that, Yao Yuhui jumped onto the stage and cast an illusion, which had a calming effect on everyone. Most of the eliminated contestants who followed the trend impulsively quieted down, and the voices of protest were instantly reduced by 80%.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Professor Yao said loudly, "I can understand what you all want. I am also an illusionist, and I know that this selection method is indeed more beneficial to certain factions."

"Now that you know this, you should relax your requirements on us!" shouted a leading illusionist.

Yao Yuhui glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he ordered the staff around him: "Activate the forbidden barrier of treasures and activate the advanced puppets!"

Following Professor Yao's order, the four high-level puppets around him moved and surrounded him.

"The illusion school does have some disadvantages in dealing with these puppets, but it is not completely helpless."

As he was speaking, the four puppets had already rushed up. Professor Yao took a step back and got out of the encirclement. Then he moved his body and shuttled between the four puppets in an almost dancing posture. After going back and forth several times, he came to the front of the ring and stood still.

Looking at the four mechanical puppets again, they fell to the ground one by one with a crackling sound and never moved again.

"What's going on?" Most of the contestants didn't see what happened, but an insightful person noticed the key point and pointed at the operating cover behind the puppet and said, "Look!"

I saw that the operating cover of this puppet was open and the switches inside were turned off!

Just in that instant? Professor Yao shut down the four puppets?
The mechanical puppet was a training device, and the switch was not hidden or locked, so it could be turned off by simply pulling open the cover. Of all the challengers, no one tried to turn off the mechanical puppet, and it wasn't because they didn't expect it.

Facing four threatening mechanical monsters, throwing them out of the field, or even knocking them down and smashing them, is much easier than shutting them down. On the other hand, Yao Yuhui was able to shut down four puppets in an instant, which means that it would be easy for him to defeat them!
"Did you see that? The Illusion School can also succeed in the challenge!" Yao Yuhui swept his eyes over the crowd: "I am over 60 years old this year, and I have already passed the registration requirements for the Tianyuan Conference. But many years ago, I also registered for the Tianyuan Conference many times in previous years. Only once did I make it to the finals by chance, but in the end, I was eliminated in the first round."

"Now that I'm old, my realm is a little higher than before, but the development of vitality technology and the progress of young people are faster than mine! Even if the age limit is lifted and I am allowed to participate in the selection as an exception, I have no confidence that I can enter the finals!"

"It can be said that those who can enter the Tianyuan finals are the sixty-four strongest people under the age of forty in this world! These people not only rely on their outstanding abilities and powerful treasures, but also have solid basic skills! Believe it or not, even if their power of condensing the mind is sealed and all treasures are banned, it will be easy for them to defeat these puppets!"

"If you are eliminated just because you are not suitable, then I advise you not to have any more illusions. Even if you are allowed to participate in the semi-finals, it is just a waste of time! In the Tianyuan Conference, only the 64 finalists will be seen by the world. Before that, no matter how far you have come, it is meaningless!"

After Yao Yuhui finished speaking, he walked towards the registration office: "Next, prepare, staff, re-adjust the puppet!"

After he said this, there was no more noise at the scene and everyone started the selection process honestly.

"Teacher Yao, what you said is good!" A young man wearing a hat smiled and greeted Yao Yuhui who was walking towards him.

Yao Yuhui was slightly startled. After taking a closer look, he saw the young man's appearance clearly and his eyes lit up: "Luo Jun? You're back?"

"Hush!" Luo Jun is now considered a celebrity, and his name will inevitably attract attention. "Although I was delayed by the International Exchange Conference due to something, I still want to participate in the Tianyuan Conference."

"You will definitely be fine." Yao Yuhui nodded and said, "I remember when you first entered school, you defeated a high-level puppet. At that time, you were only at the Solidification Stage."

"You can't be partial to someone." A lazy voice came from the side. At some point, Yu Qiudi also came over, looked at Luo Jun, and frowned slightly: "Are you really Luo Jun? Why do you feel a little... weird?"

"Teacher Yu, what are you talking about..." Luo Jun took a half step back awkwardly.

"Maybe it's an illusion." Yu Qiudi didn't ask further: "Is it your turn?"

"Not yet." Luo Jun smiled and said, "There's a foreigner signing up before me."

At this time, the two examiners noticed that a fat middle-aged foreign man walked onto the stage.

"Why do foreigners want to register in Ningdong?" Yao Yuhui asked curiously, "Are they foreign practitioners who have settled in Zhendan?" As he spoke, he picked up the registration form and took a look: "Alontan? The name is written directly in Zhendan characters? It's completely Danish!"

The two examiners didn't take it seriously, but Luo Jun stared at Alontan's figure with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

As the advanced puppets were activated and the restrictions on the treasures were unlocked, Alontan easily defeated the four puppets and qualified for the rematch. Luo Jun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, Ailontan is the real Ailontan, but Luo Jun is not the real Luo Jun.

At this time, the real Luo Jun was still at his home in the city center, and the Luo Jun at the scene was impersonated by Aishilia through shapeshifting technology.

Of course, her experience in playing Luo Jun was far less than that of Alontan, so Luo Jun was not too confident and was controlling her from a distance at home. What she had just said was all taught by Luo Jun through telepathy. But even so, Yu Qiudi, who was more familiar with her, still noticed something awkward.

However, there is no other way. If Ailontan wants to play Luo Jun, he must use a fake human mask, and the use of treasures is prohibited on the scene, so he can only register for the competition with his real appearance.

Then why did Alontan sign up?
This was because Luo Jun was still unsure how long it would take him to be able to control his body freely, but the registration was about to close, and he might have to participate in the semi-finals and finals together. In this case, it was a bit unsafe to let Aishilia take up the quota instead of him. So he simply asked Ailontan to sign up as well, so that the two of them could take care of each other.

Lao Ai not only has experience in playing him, but he is also smart and can adapt to changes. During the game, Ai Shiliya is on the court, and when he is off the court, Lao Ai puts on a fake person to deal with acquaintances he may meet, making it less likely for him to be discovered.

This plan is good, but Luo Jun is still a little worried. There are shielding measures on site. Will summoned treasures like Elontan and Aishilia be treated as treasures and restricted together?

As it turned out, Luo Jun was worrying too much. Ailontan successfully completed the auditions. As a result, Aisilia, who was pretending to be him, naturally had no problem. Relying on her solid basic skills, she defeated the four mechanical puppets off the stage.

Yao Yuhui was a little confused by this scene, and couldn't help but ask Yu Qiudi beside him: "I remember Luo Jun was supposed to be an elementalist? Why does his fighting style look more like a martial arts school?"

However, his question was not answered. When he turned around, he found that Yu Qiudi was sleeping soundly again.

After completing the challenge, Alontan and Aisiliya left in a hurry, not noticing that there was a pair of eyes staring at them among the crowd.

…………

"Is everything done?" Luo Jun asked with a smile when he saw Alontan and Aishilia coming back.

"I must complete the tasks assigned by the master successfully!" As he said this, Alontan took out the certificate of passing, which stated the time, place and rules of the rematch.

"The competition will be held on Zuna Island in the Eastern Ocean in a week..." Luo Jun looked at the certificate and asked, "Do we have to go there by ourselves?"

This Zuna Island is an uninhabited island in the middle of the East Ocean. The closest civilized place to Zuna Island is an island country more than 800 kilometers away. In other words, it is impossible to reach Zuna Island directly by plane or passenger ship. The fastest way is to take a plane to this island country first, and then find a way to cross more than 800 kilometers of sea to get here.

"Regardless of other things, just reaching this semi-final venue is also a test." Luo Jun touched his chin: "Old Ai and Ai Shilia, get ready and leave for Zuna Island. No matter what, we have to pass the semi-finals first."

"Master, don't worry!" Lao Ai assured him, "It's just that according to the schedule, there's less than a month left until the finals. Master, will your plan be in time?"

"It's not a big problem." Luo Jun waved his hand: "And I have a second insurance."

As he spoke, Luo Jun looked at Lilith and Gabriel and said, "Stay here and don't let any outsiders enter this room. Especially don't expose the Gate of All Worlds. We will react as needed."

"Yes, sir!" said the angel and the devil in unison.

"Sima Cheng, come back with me to [Spiritual] and help me protect the law."

"Yes!" The old marshal's answer was simple and clear.

Luo Jun nodded, took Sima Cheng into the bedroom, and stepped into the Gate of All Worlds.

On the other side of the door is also a deserted island.

In order to prevent the Gate of All Worlds from being discovered and people from mistakenly entering the main world, Luo Jun deliberately chose an uninhabited island where few people go. Now, this is a good place for him to adapt to his physical condition.

As soon as Sima Cheng returned to the island, he began to summon those mechanical creations and set up a formation on the island to prevent anyone from disturbing him. Luo Jun, on the other hand, put on the golden hoop again in the center of the island and activated the ninth level of shackles punishment.

Luo Jun’s biggest problem now is that he lacks the precision to control his strength.

Although his spiritual perception and agility were already very high, after being strengthened by the tenth level of the Solid Foundation Realm, there was still a huge gap between him and the Strong Attribute. The surge in power caused the most delicate power control he could do to appear as a huge power fluctuation to others.

However, with the shackles of the golden hoop, his total output was compressed to less than one ten-thousandth of the original. This was equivalent to greatly reducing the upper limit of his strength. If he could flexibly control his strength under this compressed scale, then even if he released the shackles of the golden hoop, he would be able to control it perfectly.

If one millimeter can be divided into 100 equal parts, then naturally, one meter can also be divided into 100,000 equal parts.

However, it was obvious that this process would be very long and could not be completed in the few days that the Gate of All Worlds lasted. But Luo Jun's goal was not to fully adapt, but to be familiar with the reverse movement of the golden hoop and the body, to ensure that there would be no disaster caused by the force. Compared with the precise control of strength, this was much easier for him.

Of course, Luo Jun also thought about relaxing his whole body and using the power of the ninth-level golden hoop to move himself. However, after a simple attempt, he found that although the golden hoop had great power in driving the body, the speed was very slow. It was only slightly faster than the old man practicing Tai Chi in the park. Only when it returned to the default state, the speed would be faster, but it was still far less than the fist speed of a martial arts practitioner.

It seems that the right way is to master the power ourselves!
If he lets go and adapts to his physical body, he might turn the [supernatural] world upside down, but if he just gets familiar with the operation of the golden hoop, the scope of influence should not exceed this small island.

In this way, Luo Jun began special training on the operation of the Golden Hoop.
