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

Firmly uphold your martial arts principles.

Your own safety should always be the top priority. Remember, you can't be as headstrong as you were before. Although Gu Yizheng, whose vital signs had returned, nodded to Lei She, Lei She knew perfectly well…

The other party may not necessarily listen to what I'm saying.

And so, after one night, Gu Yizheng completely extinguished the flames within him.

There is another key issue: his spiritual power is still relatively weak, but it's not a big problem. He should be able to fully recover in half a day, and the morning's match won't be greatly affected.

Chapter 273: Keep a low profile and bide your time

On the second day of the final event, after a whole night of rest and recuperation, Gu Yi had basically recovered about 80% of his spiritual energy.

Because the doctor had specifically instructed that Gu Yizheng's spiritual power had been depleted by the flames generated by his demonic possession.

This portion of spiritual energy needs time to be further adjusted and restored, which generally takes about half a day.

However, given Gu Yizheng's current condition, even if he hasn't fully recovered, he's more than capable of handling the matches on the second day of the round of 32, which are about advancing to the round of 16, 16, and 8.

During his free time after the second day of the competition, Gu Yizheng did not forget to continuously replenish his spiritual energy through the artificial crystal core.

During the process of recuperation, even with the already somewhat diminished spiritual energy, it is still possible to maintain a relatively good synthesis technique and method.

In this process, Zhang Chaoqiang, like Gu Yizheng, also did not put all his effort into the next day's combined competition.

However, the two have a rather obvious difference.

Zhang Chaoqiang felt it was unnecessary to show his full strength, since as long as he consistently achieved a relatively high position, he wouldn't necessarily be number one.

Based on the results of the first two rounds of the competition, he is still the overall champion of the synthesis competition.

Gu Yizheng, on the other hand, had to conceal his strength because he had not yet fully recovered from yesterday's qi deviation.

This final project tests the overall quality of the artificial crystal nucleus.

The contestants who made it to the top 32 could synthesize crystal cores that were at least at the second stage of second-order crystal cores.

In other words, being at this stage does not mean they can synthesize second-order crystal nuclei, but rather that they can only maintain the second stage of the second-order crystal nucleus process with their current abilities.

The third stage was not completely synthesized.

Only after the microstructure within the artificial crystal nucleus is completely connected and closed can the entire process of synthesizing an artificial crystal nucleus be truly completed.

Therefore, among the top 32 contestants, only the top 10 may have the ability to independently complete a second-order artificial crystal core.

Under these circumstances, the other contestants in the top 32 were basically unable to synthesize a complete second-order artificial crystal core.

Under such circumstances, even without using their full strength, Gu Yizheng and Zhang Chaoqiang could easily achieve an overall victory against those people.

The morning matches were the round of 32, where the top 16 would advance.

The competition brought together many contestants. In the competition venue of the synthesis competition, many contestants were preparing for this synthesis in the synthesis space.

And there are also the expectations expressed by the families of the contestants as spectators.

You have to understand that the efficiency competition a couple of days ago didn't give them a chance to really enjoy themselves.

Because in the final match...

A large amount of black smoke inexplicably appeared in the synthetic space where Gu Yizheng and Zhang Chaoqiang were fighting.

Their view was blocked, making it impossible for them to see the overall situation. Therefore, people were still looking forward to seeing what kind of strength they could show in this final match...

The spectators below the field were buzzing with discussion.

Prior to this, they had learned through various rumors that among all the contestants, Gu Yizheng's strength was at its peak.

And at one point, it reached an astonishing synthesis power approaching the third tier.

Almost everyone knows. What does this actually represent?

He possesses near-third-tier synthesis capabilities at a young age of no more than 20.

This means that he is very likely to break through to the third tier of strength in the next 2-3 years. Under such circumstances, he will undoubtedly be the most talented synthesizer in the Central Country after inheriting the status of Xu Shanji, the father of technology.

Of course, before receiving this insider information, they were far from knowing that Zhang Chaoqiang's expertise in this area was so terrifying. Now they understand that Zhang Chaoqiang's overall strength is also quite astonishing.

And he repeatedly came out on top in matches against Gu Yizheng.

They defeated their opponent with ease.

Then their gaze and attention will be more focused on Zhang Chaoqiang's direction and location.

I want to see if Zhang Chaoqiang can win this final competition in the synthesis of artificial crystal cores, which tests the quality of the crystals.

To achieve even greater success.

So, on the second day of the competition, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the start of the morning session officially determined the final two days of the highlight of the synthesis competition.

Unfortunately, this so-called highlight didn't seem particularly exciting, because during the process of advancing from the top 32 to the top 16, Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng either planned it beforehand or it just happened by chance...

Their synthesis process all stopped at the third stage of the second-order crystal nucleus, which was just right. They met the criteria for advancement.

However, it doesn't demonstrate such poor performance.

Just barely making it into the next round, the main difference between the two is...

One reason is that Zhang Chaoqiang had no intention or preparation to show his full strength.

Secondly, Gu Yizheng was also unable to display his full strength. One reason was that he wanted to hold back, and the other was that he wanted to conserve his spiritual energy and recover it as soon as possible to face the finals the next day.

The afternoon sessions were even less competitive.

During that phase, Gu Yizheng had gradually recovered all the spiritual energy in his body.

Having returned to his peak condition, Gu Yizheng could synthesize a small second-order crystal core with ease and effortlessness.

The phrase "ordinary" would be a perfect description.

Gu Yizheng, who has now returned to his peak condition, has lived up to the expectations of others, especially his teacher Lei She, who has devoted a lot of effort to him.

In the round of 16 to the quarterfinals, Gu Yizheng effortlessly synthesized a second-tier coin, displaying remarkable ease. This once again validated the audience's previous assessment of the rumors.

This further confirms...

Gu Yizheng's identity was indeed revealed in previous rumors, and his aptitude and strength as a synthesizer with near-third-tier artificial crystal cores are indeed not significantly different.

Based on the current situation.

He was indeed able to synthesize second-tier artificial crystal cores relatively easily, so it was quite normal for him to have strength close to that of a third-tier cultivator.

But they could never imagine how he, who was so different from the other contestants, usually trained.

Of course, if they knew that Gu Yi had gone mad during his cultivation process yesterday, they would understand that being a genius who also works very hard is the key to being ahead of his peers.

Surprisingly, in the afternoon match, Zhang Chaoqiang's performance and form did not show any greater strength than Gu Yizheng's.

In fact, Zhang Chaoqiang no longer cares much about being in first place.

Whether he came in first or second place in this project was no longer important to him.

Whether he came in first or second place, it wouldn't affect his final overall score and position as number one.

Most importantly, it serves as the final reward for this first-ever synthesis competition...

This was what truly excited and thrilled Zhang Chaoqiang.

During the afternoon's competition, Zhang Chaoqiang also gained a comprehensive understanding of his own abilities.

He had never really understood what level of artificial synthetic crystal nucleus he could best synthesize.

Previously, in order to complete his growth tasks, he had repeatedly performed the synthesis dynamics of low-level artificial crystal nuclei.

If it weren't for his previous consideration of obtaining a synthesizer qualification certificate, he wouldn't have bothered synthesizing high-level artificial crystal nuclei at all.

During the process of advancing from the round of 16 to the quarterfinals this afternoon, he tried it out a little and took the opportunity to increase the difficulty for himself.

The result was pretty good.

Given Zhang Chaoqiang's current situation, he is already able to easily master the synthesis of second-order artificial crystal cores, and he can compress nearly 15 pieces of second-order concentration of pure spiritual energy within the second-order artificial crystal cores.

This is half the amount of pure spiritual power he could contain in a first-tier crystal core, which is equivalent to the amount of 30 first-tier demonic beasts.

However, this cannot be described simply by quantity; we must also pay close attention to the overall strength of the second-order crystal nuclei.

The pure spiritual energy contained in a second-order crystal core is far stronger than that in a first-order crystal core.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this situation that Zhang Chaoqiang will definitely not be able to achieve the same high concentration of second-order crystal nuclei as he has with first-order crystal nuclei.

However, this competition is about quality, that is, the difference in the level of the crystal core.

He made these high-concentration crystal nuclei simply to verify and challenge his overall capabilities.

The facts made him realize that perhaps he should now have the strength to challenge for a third-order artificial crystal core.

That very evening, Zhang Chaoqiang, who hadn't yet considered trying to figure out how many levels of artificial synthetic crystal cores he could break through, was casually asked about it by Tan Yue.

Tan Yue didn't know what level Zhang Chaoqiang could reach in terms of the quality of artificial synthetic crystal cores.

Isn't that a coincidence...?

Let alone Tan Yue, even Zhang Chaoqiang himself had no idea what stage or level he was currently at.

Driven by Tan Yue's curiosity, Zhang Chaoqiang disregarded tomorrow's final and decided to use his energy and strength to make an attempt that very night.

That evening, Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng, who were in two different places, once again showed their completely different plans and states.

Even with the finals on the second day, Zhang Chaoqiang still spared no effort in expending his mental energy and abilities to attempt synthesis, as if he didn't care about the finals at all.

Meanwhile, Gu Yizheng, who had just experienced a qi deviation, had completely recovered his spiritual and mental power by the afternoon and was no longer as frantic as he had been the night before.

Instead, they were biding their time and making thorough preparations for the final the following day.

The two once again demonstrate a stark difference.

Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue arrived at the synthesis space within the research institute area of ​​Zhongzhou Museum, which was open to the contestants free of charge.

They immediately began to focus on improving quality.

Tan Yue had previously expressed some concern that Zhang Chaoqiang might affect the final match tomorrow.

There are a total of 9 matches in the three-match assessment.

Tomorrow is the final match, the last hurdle in the competition to determine quality.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang stated that even if he were to withdraw from the competition now, the prestige of winning first place in the first two events would be enough to make up for the loss in the third event.
