Above Destiny

Chapter 307 Congratulations
"Is it so formal?" Ji Jue was stunned.

"if not?"

Lou Feng looked over and asked, "Since being chosen by heaven, how many people have been tormented and climbed day and night, burning the midnight oil, all for this day, isn't it?

How many people have spent most of their lives trying to get there, do you dare to say that it is easy to achieve what you have now?"

Ji Jue had nothing to say.

Who has not experienced the difficulty of embers?
Even if it was chosen by Shangshan himself, wouldn't he still be dragged to death?

The significance of becoming a craftsman is extremely important to every apprentice. It is not just the status and authority of a craftsman, or the human rights in the ashes.

Instead, it's more like a rite of passage.

Before this, apprentices who relied on the protection of their teachers and workshops would now become craftsmen, and would be regarded as the chosen ones of the ashes who were qualified to face the storms alone and bear all the consequences.

There are no more excuses or reasons.

From then on, he shouldered the academic lineage and inheritance and truly stood on his own.

Who can not take it seriously?

Ji Jue took a deep breath and stepped forward.

At this moment, countless people on the steps cast their eyes over. The staff members passing by or the craftsmen who came in a hurry looked over at them, distinguishing their faces. When they looked at the scar on Ji Jue's face, it was as if they suddenly understood.

His expression changed amidst astonishment and confusion.

Or, just nod in greeting.

It was as if all of a sudden everyone looked over, but no one spoke, instead they silently made way for them.

Climb up the stairs.

Right in front of the door, surrounded by a group of people, the two people who were talking stopped talking and looked at them. Their expressions varied, most of them were warm, and some of them changed their expressions slightly after seeing Ji Jue, and forced themselves to smile, which was quite forced.

Lou Feng coughed softly, then bowed his head and greeted:

"Director Gustav, Director Jiang."

Jiang Tongguang stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the two of them, smiling without saying a word.

"There are only craftsmen here today, so don't be too rigid."

Gustav nodded, showing a rare warmth, and even made room for them: "Come in quickly, the ceremony is about to begin."

Regardless of status, even if the chairman is here, he will not show off his authority in such an occasion. As an elder, he should naturally show warmth and magnanimity, and encourage and inspire the younger ones.

He said to Ji Jue, "Today, you go through the main entrance."

When they passed each other, Ji Jue felt for some reason that the two directors looked at him with some meaningful eyes.

Main entrance?

When he turned around, he found that Lou Feng had already left and disappeared through the open side door. And at the moment when the main door was pushed open, the low noise in the conference room behind the door suddenly stopped.

The venue was not small, but it was almost full at this moment.

Not only the apprentices who passed the exam and the craftsmen in charge of the exam, but also the teachers who came from all over the place to witness the ceremony through the operation of the earth vein plate.

At this moment, everyone gathered here. On such a good day, no one would show displeasure. Many long-lost faces appeared around, and even the most taciturn people would become talkative at this moment.

A friendly greeting or a forced smile or sarcastic remark between enemies.

However, when the main door was opened, all the trivial sounds disappeared like ice and snow under the scorching sun. All that was left was the countless eyes looking in the direction of this place in silence.

Scrutiny, consideration, curiosity, emotion, and perhaps a little contempt and resistance.

There are so many that it’s hard to tell.

But many people stood up, one after another from the front row. Ji Jue could recognize many faces he had dealt with before.

This naturally includes Lou Feng who sneaked in quietly.

In the silence, even the sound of breathing can be heard by a pin drop.

Ji Jue was slightly confused.

Then, he saw a bearded man who could be considered burly even among the large group of chosen ones, walking straight towards him.

"North Wind Workshop, your defeated opponent, Frederick."

The Son of the North Wind raised his tattooed hand and said, "Nice to meet you."

"I'm from Tide Sound Workshop, Ji Jue." Ji Jue held his hand and smiled, "I remember you. Surtur is very strong. Please don't mind if I offend you."

Frederick's expression twitched, and he sighed frankly, "It was just a temporary victory or defeat. At least I didn't die under those two knives. Thank you for showing mercy."

As he spoke, he followed the northern etiquette, pulled Ji Jue closer, gave him a bear hug, and patted his shoulder with his other hand.

He said: "Congratulations."

"Dragon Heart, Lin Ke."

Another smiling young man came over, shook his hand and said, "Congratulations."

Although they were not able to win the joint attack, when he looked at Ji Jue at this moment, he did not hide his admiration and happiness: "Add me as a friend? If you have time later, can you discuss how to deal with the evil creature?"

"Okay, okay." Ji Jue took out his cell phone obediently.

"Five flowers and five leaves, wishing for rain." The petite girl with colorful hair looked at his face, raised her eyebrows slightly, and her originally harsh eyes suddenly brightened: "Brother, do you have a girlfriend? Can I introduce a senior sister to you?"

"Ah this..."

"Nine Seals Workshop, August, yes, the one you stomped on. Hiss, don't use too much force, my teacher just broke my hand and fixed it..."

"Tongxie Workshop, Hu Yun, come to Yunzhou when you have time."

"Nanagawa..."

By the time I reacted, I was already surrounded by the crowd.

Some were a little indifferent, with a lot on their mind, and just exchanged names. Some were more enthusiastic, and had already exchanged contact information. Some, like Lin Ke, who was more familiar, had already put their arms around each other's shoulders and took selfies together.

No matter how harsh and narrow-minded a person is, after seeing Ji Jue kill twelve people in a panic, he would wisely bury his unhappiness deep in his heart and step on Ji Jue twice. Even if he doesn't want to make friends, why bother to provoke his opponent?
Was it that Ji Juedian wasn't ruthless enough, or was it that Ye Xian's knife was not sharp enough?

They are so popular!
Winning and losing is always normal. Besides, Chao Sheng is far away from the edge of the Federation and has no conflict with the business of his own workshop. Since we have already had the opportunity to fight, why not make friends again?
Even someone as taciturn as Andrei still used up most of his social energy today to greet Ji Jue.

However, after holding it in for a long time, he still couldn't help but ask: "How did you dismantle the last layer of the workshop base?"

"what?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "I've read your previous records. According to conventional thinking, the underlying architecture you adopted does not have many options, so I prepared all the countermeasures. The competition time is relatively short, and I can only bet that you don't have time to dismantle and rebuild it."

"Such a short time?" Andre frowned. "At least seventeen strategies to counter the structure, are they enough?"

"It's the process of elimination."

Ji Jue thought for a moment and laughed at himself: "Because everyone's nature is quite confrontational, I focused on selecting a few types that put more pressure on me..."

Andre was stunned for a moment, and after a long moment, he sighed bitterly.

Unexpectedly, the special preparation for targeting turned out to be one of the reasons for the failure.

The teacher said that he was good at maintaining stability but lacked the ability to change. If he lacked the ability, he would fail in the face of change sooner or later. However, he did not expect that he would fail so badly in the craftsman's exam.

"Thank you," he said softly.

"Okay, okay, add me as a friend?" Ji Jue took out his phone and his social media fanatic nature began to kick in: "What software do you usually use?"

"Uh, how about email? I... don't have an account."

"None?" Ji Jue looked at his phone in astonishment. It was actually a feature phone, and one with physical buttons. He immediately admired him: "Don't you think it's inconvenient?"

"It's so troublesome to charge mobile phones nowadays. This one is better. It can be used for a long time after charging, and it is also resistant to drops." Andre hesitated for a long time, and finally took out a pen and paper: "What's your account? I'll go back and buy a new one and add you."

“Okay, okay, I’ll write it.”

……

After the lively greetings and exchanges, the venue has become bustling again.

For the first time in his life, Ji Jue felt the joy of being the 'number one old man'. Normally, he was disliked wherever he went, but he didn't expect that he would be so popular in the Embers.

For a moment, I was actually a little uncomfortable.

Even, I feel a little shocked.

"Why do I feel like I'm a god just because I got first place?" He sighed, "I always feel like everyone's enthusiasm is a bit too much."

“Enthusiasm is normal.”

Lou Feng, who was sitting next to him, said quietly, "As for the celestial being, you'd better be able to achieve it."

"Ah?" Ji Jue was stunned.

Lou Feng's smile suddenly turned mocking: "Even if you stay where you are, do you think none of these people under you will be able to climb up?"

Just kidding, everyone sitting here today is an elite talent in the literal sense, and they are all seed players and successors cultivated by various workshops at all costs and resources.

Apart from talent and ability, the only thing he lacked was time and practice. Now that he had become a craftsman, his progress would only be more exaggerated.

We have just climbed onto the track now, and there is a lot of hard work and technology ahead.

in other words……

"From now on, no matter who they are, when they feel they have enough to avenge themselves, they will come to you to prove their strength." Lou Feng asked curiously: "Otherwise, why would everyone add you as a friend? To listen to dogs barking when they have nothing to do?"

"hiss……"

Ji Jue took a deep breath and realized that the air conditioner was not turned on today, which made him feel even colder.

Glancing at Ji Jue's twitching expression, Lou Feng felt a little relieved and sighed softly, "I guess this kind of pressure is nothing to you."

“Why is it nothing?” Ji Jue stared, and suddenly he felt what his classmates in the same group and the same period had experienced: “As soon as I closed my eyes, dozens of people came after me, and I was so scared!”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I believe it, I believe it."

The guy on the front page of the post looked expressionless and glanced at him - it’s okay if others don’t know, but how come I don’t know you?

The nine supreme benevolent beings have come in person to summon you, why are you pretending to be so stupid? !

After Lou Feng broke that layer of window paper, Ji Jue's originally slightly slack heart suddenly became anxious and excited again.

Just when I was thinking about going home to study "The Theory of Elephant and Sword" to improve myself after the class was over, I heard Lin Ke, who was in fourth place next to Lou Feng, enthusiastically sharing gossip with his peers.

Suddenly, my hair stood on end.
