Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

If they continue to act recklessly, their lives will be in danger.

When several people came out of the space at about the same time, they saw that Zhang Chaoqiang had already come out early in the morning. And when they looked over again, the virtual screen showed that Zhang Chaoqiang was the first to leave.

Before the two could even rejoice, they saw another screen and realized that it wasn't them who had persevered to the end; rather, Zhang Chaoqiang was the only one who had been eliminated, and he had finished synthesizing all the crystal cores...

And then they left the stage.

In contrast, their spiritual energy was exhausted, and they had barely managed to synthesize the fourth one...

Two and a half hours later, fifteen contestants had already withdrawn from the competition.

At the same time...

Gao Guojun from Tongxin City and Xiao Xia from Liuhai City... finally couldn't withstand the storm inside and exhausted their spiritual power to escape the synthetic space.

Like everyone else, upon seeing the first person on the big screen, who had only lasted an hour and twenty minutes before leaving their synthetic space...

It was a name they least expected to hear: Zhang Chaoqiang!

Furthermore, they were the fifteenth and sixteenth contestants to leave the synthesis space, and according to the rules, they were both able to advance by the very last minute.

Faced with Zhang Chaoqiang's defeat, they were unclear about what had happened, but they felt extremely excited and surprised! After all, Zhang Chaoqiang had become their potential enemy.

But the next second, their smiles vanished.

Chapter 236 Saying no, but the body says yes

Gao Guojun and Xiao Xia…

The excitement I had just created in my mind hadn't even had a chance to spread throughout my body.

Then I was blinded by the information displayed on another large screen.

"Wasn't he the first to leave the synthesis space? Why does another screen show him completing the synthesis of ten crystal cores?"

For an instant.

The two felt that there might be something wrong with the data, as it didn't seem to make sense at all.

But upon closer reflection...

Only then did their scalp tingle, and they dared not make direct eye contact with Zhang Chaoqiang, who was in the rest area of ​​the arena. Even with their backs to each other, they could feel a deep sense of fear.

By the way, Zhang Chaoqiang was already much stronger than them. He easily killed and dealt with Tie Daren, who was known as the "humanoid monster," with just one attack.

So how could his duration of endurance in the storm within the synthetic space be less than that of the two of them?

So, there is only one possibility.

That means the data displayed on the other big screen is accurate and correct!

That is, Zhang Chaoqiang did not actually leave the synthetic space because he could not withstand the baptism and erosion of the storm.

Rather, it was because he had already completed the task of creating all the artificial crystal cores within the synthetic space that he emerged from it…

"The new rules set by Director Lei are simply to test whether the contestants can persevere in completing the synthesis tasks and tests under harsh conditions."

Therefore, the number and concentration of crystal cores stored inside far exceeded the capabilities of those contestants; they wanted to see who could last the longest…

But unexpectedly, Zhang Chaoqiang, this extraordinary individual, appeared…

Off the field, the admissions officers from several universities and the spectators from large families all looked at Zhang Chaoqiang with great admiration.

Even in their eyes, there was a strong desire for the other person to join their territory.

For a moment, Zhang Chaoqiang seemed to have demonstrated another way to complete the game.

Moreover, among cities from all over the Central Country, the name of Tianan City, a small city in the southern region, has become well-known.

The root of all this lies with Zhang Chaoqiang, a contestant who made the name of Tian'an City extremely prominent throughout the entire event.

As a result, Gao Guojun and Xiao Xia, who were still standing on the field, instantly realized something.

Their gaze returned to the first empty screen.

The two people were ranked 16th from the bottom and 15th from the bottom, respectively. These rankings were those that had been removed from the synthesis space.

According to the original calculation, as long as you are 16th from the bottom, you will be able to advance.

However, it was clear that Zhang Chaoqiang had completed the assessment with extraordinary strength, and even when he left the synthetic space, he still had nearly one-third of his spiritual power remaining.

Under these circumstances, even the first place winner is a strong contender, let alone someone who merely advances to the top sixteen.

Suddenly, Xiao Xia, who was ranked 16th, looked a little gloomy.

As the saying goes, when disaster strikes, everyone flees for their lives. Driven by self-interest, the two immediately turned on each other.

Especially Gao Guojun, who was right on 15th place, had a face like a woman's, and looked as seductive as a snake. He chuckled.

His gaze toward Xiao Xia was filled with intense schadenfreude.

After that, the two had nothing to say to each other and no longer stood in the same place as before.

Instead, they separate from each other.

That's how the world of martial arts works. People will always associate with others at the same level. Once there's a difference in status or position, or even if they face challenges or dangers, they will naturally drift apart.

Therefore, the martial arts world is far more cruel than ordinary human society.

It was rife with far too many open and covert struggles.

The two of them finished in 15th and 16th place, but unfortunately, due to Zhang Chaoqiang's presence, the 15th place was moved down one place, and the other was eliminated from this round.

Xiao Xia and Gao Guojun persevered for nearly three hours, and they finally succeeded in completing the second stage of crystal core production in the synthesis space, each producing five crystal cores.

Furthermore, all five were successfully synthesized into ten pure spiritual energy concentrations. However, the microstructure within them was affected by the external storms on the body.

This distracted and exhausted the two, so in the second stage, which was the process of compressing spiritual energy into the artificial crystal core to synthesize the embryo, they were unable to properly protect the microstructure around the embryo.

This is somewhat different from the expectations of general synthesis.

It's not just the two of them.

Even those contestants who left the Synthesis Space earlier, beyond the sixteen who did so, or those who will leave next…

Xin Yun City contestant Wu Ma Mengchao, Jiang Nan City contestant Dang Zhenpeng, Yang Yun City contestant Yang Yunqing, Jing Ran City contestant Xiang Yunlian, and others.

Basically, due to the obstruction of external storms, the microstructure of the synthesized crystal nuclei was more or less damaged.

"Therefore, this competition is not only a test of the physical strength of the players, but also a test of how to maintain focus and perform at the best under harsh conditions!"

Damage to the microstructure often indicates that the contestants have not yet reached complete mastery in this area! Their attention to detail needs improvement.

The microstructure is the most crucial part of the artificial crystal core synthesis embryo. Even small-scale damage can significantly enhance the process of spiritual energy automatically flowing into the world within the crystal core…

"After all, the container is already damaged. How can it still store or encapsulate that spiritual energy intact?"

Without a doubt, this is absolutely impossible!

"And this time, it's clear that most of the participants..."

Even the top ten this time:

The contestants included Wu Ma Mengchao from Xinyun City, Dang Zhenpeng from Jiangnan City, Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City, and Xiang Yunlian from Jingran City.

None of them have been able to solve this problem satisfactorily!

"And from beginning to end, there was only one contestant whose speed, intensity, attention to detail, and stability far surpassed those of the other contestants. His synthetic emotional intelligence was even beyond the scope of his age group and synthetic qualification level..."

Everyone probably knows who this contestant I'm talking about is, right?

Upon hearing this, the contestants from various cities on stage, with a hint of displeasure in their eyes, all unconsciously drifted towards Zhang Chaoqiang's position.

Meanwhile, off the field, Shen Qiangwei, Zhang Huolong, Lao Chen, Tan Yue, and their group were cheering for Zhang Chaoqiang. Zhang Chaoqiang responded by raising his arm, even though the act of opening champagne at halftime...

Something seems a bit off…

Indeed, Lei She had essentially declared Zhang Chaoqiang's success, and his advancement was a foregone conclusion.

There was only one contestant left on the field, who had not yet left the synthetic space.

The top ten were: Wu Ma Mengchao from Xinyun City, Dang Zhenpeng from Jiangnan City, Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City, and Xiang Yunlian from Jingran City.

They synthesized exactly about six crystal nuclei.

Gu Yizheng is currently still in his own synthesis space, diligently synthesizing crystals. He has now begun synthesizing his seventh crystal core.

As everyone can see, Gu Yizheng completed the filling of the ten crystal nuclei in a step-by-step, calm and steady manner with the first six artificial synthetic crystal nuclei.

The current situation has only increased their anticipation for the final result.

As a mid-level second-tier martial artist, his spiritual power intensity reached a peak of nearly 2500P.

While it wouldn't completely ignore external fluctuations, lightning, thunder, snow, frost, and rain, those storms wouldn't harm it in the slightest.

He has gradually begun to adapt to the current situation.

He gradually adapted to his synthesis environment, and he carefully refined the microstructure of the crystal nuclei he had synthesized.

Each instance of pure spiritual energy compression is a highly cautious operation.

All our efforts stem from the rewards of this synthesis competition, especially the reward for first place!

He displayed exceptional talent from a young age, but he wasn't initially a resident of Zhongzhou City. It was only during one of his trips around the world as the director of the Zhongzhou City Research Institute that he met him…

They discovered Gu Yizheng's extraordinary spiritual ability.

He then took her on as an apprentice, making her his assistant in the laboratory.

Over the past two years, the research and development of artificial synthetic crystal cores has made him even more aware of Gu Yizheng's formidable strength. A week ago, before Zhang Chaoqiang appeared…

Gu Yizheng remains the most noteworthy and promising genius…

On the surface, he seems quite easy to talk to, but in reality, he harbors an insatiable desire for fame and power.

He wants to have the opportunity to enter the Central National Treasury to select treasures. He needs to do his best to win first place and show his style and ability in the synthesis competition!

A multitude of thoughts filled his mind, and finally, amidst the torrent of wind and rain, Gu Yizheng completed the seventh crystal core…

Finally, I've almost exhausted my mental and spiritual energy...

But he still wanted to persevere, to persevere for as long as possible, even if it was only for a minute or two.

Even if it's only for ten or twenty seconds...

Finally, Gu Yizheng, whose spiritual energy was completely exhausted, saw the spiritual energy surrounding and protecting the surface of his skin dissipate.
