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

Even surpassing others in class is effortless, let alone being invincible among so-called peers.

However, the two are not comparable at all, because having a mechanism means that one needs to absorb a strange beast.

Compared to the ancient bloodline level of demonic beasts, the number of strange beasts is extremely small. Therefore, it is likely that there are no more than a few hundred people on the entire planet who possess such abilities.

Currently, there are quite a few martial artists who possess ancient bloodline-level martial arts techniques.

Basically, any martial artist above the sixth rank, as long as their family has a certain background or ability, and they can accept the expensive price of an ancient bloodline-level demon beast core, will basically empty their wealth and assets.

Try to derive your own martial arts from the crystal cores of ancient bloodline-level demon beasts, your own ancient bloodline martial arts.

Of course, this environment also has absorption conditions.

Ultimately, only a very few people succeed, but among these few, they all become the best among martial artists of the same level and the top among their peers.

Therefore, effort and reward are directly proportional. In fact, if one is highly capable, the effort and reward may not be in a 1:1 ratio, but rather the reward may be far greater than the effort.

Throughout the entire night, although Gu Yizheng never focused on the ancient bloodline-level monster cores, he did pay attention to the rare bloodline-level monster cores…

He needs this kind of demon beast crystal core to replenish his spiritual power. This replenishment of spiritual power will make him more confident and smoother in the process of breaking through his third-level martial arts level, increasing his spiritual power and his own condition.

After a whole night of adjustments, Gu Yizhen was very fortunate to have successfully broken through to the third tier.

Before they knew it, it was 8 a.m. on the second day. Zhang Chaoqiang and the others arrived at the main venue of the Synthesis Competition early in the morning.

Chapter 285 Third Tier

The next day arrived quickly.

At 8:00 a.m., countless people were already waiting at the venue of the synthesis competition.

Because everyone knows that today is a very solemn day, a day to cheer and celebrate, as it is the day after the synthesis competition ends and the rankings are officially announced.

The venue for the synthesis competition was already packed with people coming and going.

They all share a common goal here today: to find out their rankings so that they can receive a reward commensurate with their performance in the final stage of the competition.

In this process, the final results are generally positively correlated with the effort they put in.

Lei She, who was to host the first Synthesis Competition of the Central Kingdom, was also waiting here early in the morning.

During the synthesis competition, the staff were also making intensive preparations, because Gu Yizheng had stretched out the final competition for a very long time last night.

This caused them to lose their original plans for a time.

Their original plan was to have at least an afternoon or an entire evening to prepare for and set up the final day's awards ceremony.

We also need to rehearse the final award ceremony.

But last night, such an amazing scene occurred: Gu Yizheng actually spent nearly 12 hours synthesizing the third-order artificial crystal core from 9 am until after 9 pm.

From any perspective, Gu Yizheng can definitely be considered a ruthless person in their eyes.

The fact that they persevered until they successfully synthesized a third-order artificial crystal core was a heavy blow not only to all the spectators in the main venue, but also to the contestants who had been watching but had already left the venue.

The other contestants believed that Gu Yizheng was a formidable obstacle that they could never overcome, no matter how hard they tried.

Because he is not only more talented and qualified than you, but also works harder. Someone who is more outstanding than you is even more hardworking than you, so surpassing him becomes an almost impossible thing.

And because Gu Yi possessed such perseverance, after he finished his synthesis, he found an opportunity for a breakthrough that very night…

After finding the opportunity to break through to the third-tier martial artist, he began his relentless martial arts training. In the process of training, he eventually succeeded in becoming a third-tier martial artist, but it took him an entire night.

The doctor's elixir temporarily prevented him from being affected by demonic possession, and through repeated spiritual energy circulation, he was able to effectively regulate himself, reducing the wear and tear on his spiritual energy and the fatigue caused by repeated exercise.

It effectively prevented anything from affecting Gu Yizheng's state of going astray.

This situation essentially reached an unbearable level, and under these circumstances, Gu Yizheng lived up to expectations and successfully achieved two accomplishments.

Both achievements are at the third level. Not only in terms of synthesis, but he also achieved the synthesis of a third-level artificial crystal core. He was the youngest person in the entire Central Kingdom to successfully synthesize a third-level artificial crystal core.

Furthermore, his martial arts skills are by no means low, as he has achieved the martial arts ability and talent of a third-level martial artist at the age of less than 20.

This has been demonstrated perfectly.

His abilities and status in martial arts and synthesis.

His talent is undeniably formidable, and when he appeared on the field, almost everyone could clearly see that he was different this time.

They all realized that Gu Yizheng's body was in a completely different state.

Because his overall physical condition was reserved, yet flamboyant and outward-looking, it was obvious that Gu Yizheng had not deliberately concealed his aura and presence.

Those highly skilled martial artists and the elders of the contestants' families were also able to clearly notice the changes that were happening to Gu Yi's body, and these changes were undoubtedly very obvious.

They could clearly sense whether Gu Yizheng had broken through to the level of a third-tier martial artist, and this situation was quite shocking and strange to them.

Yesterday, he appeared to be at the peak of the second tier, but how did he break through to the third tier in just one night?

All of this seemed to happen naturally.

However, it is clear that people also speculate that this may be related to the opportunity brought to him by the synthesis of the third-order artificial crystal core, and it is very likely that the two promoted each other, thus allowing Gu Yizheng, who was not yet 20 years old, to touch the threshold and opportunity to enter the third-order martial artist.

Sometimes opportunities are fleeting, and Gu Yizheng's ability to seize this opportunity is rare for most people.

Furthermore, he achieved third-tier attainments in both situations and in both fields. This is something only he has accomplished in the entire Central Kingdom.

There are probably many people who have reached the third level of martial arts, and there are quite a few even at his age.

Furthermore, there are a great many people who have reached the third-order artificial crystal core level, but when the two are combined, it becomes something extraordinary.

First of all, there's Gu Yizheng's age. He's only in his early 19s, not yet 20.

And that's one point – that he's already reached the level of a third-tier martial artist at such a young age.

The second point is the qualification requirements for a third-order crystal core synthesizer.

There is a written rule in the synthesis competition.

That is, in the synthesis competition, if a contestant can achieve a level of ability that is higher than their own synthesizer qualification, then the synthesis competition has the authority to directly determine the individual level on their synthesizer qualification certificate.

In other words, the synthesis competition is essentially a ranking competition for synthesizers' qualifications.

It can determine the athletes' performance breakthroughs and assessments.

However, one key point is that you must be in the middle of the competition.

Only when a player demonstrates a level of skill that surpasses their previous performance as a compositor during the competition phase can the staff determine that their compositor qualification has been upgraded.

This also saves many players the trouble of going to the local compositor department to update their scores and upgrade their compositor qualifications.

At the same time, it is also very clear that Gu Yizheng has now completely achieved the third-level synthesizer qualification in the unanimous judgment.

Because his overall performance yesterday was absolutely brilliant compared to most people.

Not only did he single-handedly complete the entire process of creating a third-order artificial synthetic crystal core.

Furthermore, his unwavering perseverance holds a significant place in people's hearts.

Furthermore, Zhang Chaoqiang's personal compositor qualification is in the same situation, just like Gu Yizheng's, in yesterday's finals...

After completing the second stage of the third-order artificial crystal core, Zhang Chaoqiang naturally became a second-order intermediate synthesizer.

To be considered a third-tier synthesizer, one must independently synthesize a third-tier artificial crystal core and achieve the final completion of the third-tier artificial crystal core. Merely remaining at the second stage of the third-tier artificial crystal core can only be considered as a second-tier intermediate synthesizer qualification.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang didn't seem to care at the moment and wasn't too bothered by it.

Because the Synthesizer qualification won't bring him any significant changes or those so-called rewards.

For him, who already possesses so many things, they have become completely unnecessary and offer little help.

Currently, the Central Government is relatively conservative in its approach to synthesis.

Unlike martial arts, it did not have the conditions and circumstances for widespread dissemination to the general public.

That is precisely why many people don't really think highly of synthetic materials.

However, this path is just like a profession.

The so-called martial artist can become a profession on their own, a powerful one.

Doctors, teachers, and so on are all professions, so in essence, synthesizers are not much different from these two professions.

They all exist in relation to martial arts and various other aspects.

Furthermore, it is of great use to both martial artists and ordinary people in this regard.

Therefore, not only the Central Country, but the entire world is rapidly changing its perspective and approach to synthesis.

Changes are taking place in a positive direction.

This technological advancement may mean that in the future, it may not be necessary to kill monsters to obtain crystal cores.

With the contestants in place, the nine o'clock mark arrived quickly, officially signaling their final guesses and conclusions regarding their overall performance.

During this process, they were undoubtedly very anxious and nervous.

Because having one more or one less person can directly indicate that their final results and rewards may be drastically different, thus greatly diminishing their value.

Just like the difference between 9th and 8th place, 8th place is also one of the top eight contestants in the first Central Kingdom Synthesis Competition, and thus can obtain the right to enter the Central Kingdom Secret Realm Brain Enhancement Space.

The 9th place winner can only obtain some relatively scarce resources. Of course, although scarce, they are completely insignificant compared to the brain-related growth potential of the Central Kingdom's Secret Realm.

There is a huge gap and chasm between the two that cannot be described or measured in words.

They are currently in the top eight.

Besides Gu Yizheng and Zhang Chaoqiang, the other evenly matched contestants are also struggling with their rankings.

The gap between the top three and fourth place is also very large. The dragon, a demon beast crystal core of ancient bloodline level, is not very useful to them, who have not yet reached the sixth rank and whose martial arts strength is still very different from that of a sixth-rank martial artist.

It's obviously not very effective.

However, this crystal core may play a very important role and hold a very important position in the future.

Because this is a dragon.

Unlike true dragons, which belong to the category of divine beasts, the Jiaolong (蛟龙) has some chaotic bloodlines from other races mixed in.

However, it also has the lineage of a true dragon, an ancient bloodline level and hierarchy. Among the ancient bloodline level demon beasts, the Jiaolong is also one of the most powerful.

This is also a stage where opportunities are rare and hard to come by; possessing a dragon crystal core will give them more chances to try things out in the future.

Possessing this crystal core does not guarantee that they can successfully absorb it, and even if they do absorb it successfully, it does not guarantee that they can successfully derive martial arts techniques of the ancient bloodline level from this ancient bloodline-level demon beast crystal core.

But this means they have this opportunity.
