I can see experience bars after being transported to another world.

As for the criteria for evaluation, the card lists three: first, the less sanity required to use the inscription, the better; second, the stronger the function emitted upon activation, the better; and third, the more stable the inherent effect, the better. There are no other requirements.

After reading it, Lu Yuan roughly understood the situation. The conditions were so lenient that there were no further hurdles.

Inscription authentication is something that very few people in the Knight Academy or even the entire Empire possess.

It's less of an assessment and more of a way to gather people together and see if there are any promising talents in inscription.

On the high platform, with a soft twang of a zither, the certification officially began. Those around him bowed their heads to examine the materials before them, but Lu Yuan did not rush to begin.

On the high platform, the String Knight's gaze fell on the thin, black-haired figure, and he narrowed his eyes.

Huh? Isn't that Lu Yuan? Why is he here again? Does this kid also know the strange inscription technique?

Speaking of Lu Yuan, after leaving the herb garden that morning, the String Knight actually made a special trip to the Knight Academy's student information storage office to check the kid's file. He was a member of the Night Watch, recommended by the Blue Knight, and came in with a spot from the Bronze City branch.

When he enrolled, the resonance of the Four Oaths statues seemed quite good, but the data for that resonance appeared to have been tampered with. The String Knight was an experienced veteran, and also a cunning old fox.

Just a few glances at the paper were enough to tell that the data had definitely been altered. As for the age and the method of acquisition, it was consistent with what Lu Yuan himself had said: in his twenties, possessing extraordinary and bizarre knowledge, and at the third tier.

Most importantly, during the negotiations that morning, the String Knights did not detect any pollution or berserk aura on Lu Yuan.

In other words, Lu Yuan, a guy with extraordinary and bizarre knowledge, is definitely highly skilled in the art of creating potions, and those three bottles of potion that morning were definitely made by him using his own abilities.

This is a bit strange. Either Lu Yuan is a genius, or there's something wrong with his methods.

However, neither of these factors is important. The fact that he was able to pass the Night's Watch means that his methods were not problematic and that his character was also sound. Moreover, he rose to the position of captain, which must have involved rigorous selection processes.

The String Knights also learned that this guy had used the Night's Watch's promise to protect people when he was in Bronze City.

An 800-point asylum certificate was spent without batting an eye. So how did this guy even manage to make the medicine? Actually, the String Knight didn't really care. As long as he could make it, who cares?

However, to be honest, the String Knight had actually considered taking on an apprentice earlier that morning, but after thinking it over, he felt it wasn't quite right.

The man was brought here by the Blue Knight, and I taught him some potion-making skills, which was enough.

The String Knights knew a thing or two about the Night's Watch. They would go to headquarters, be assigned to larger branches, serve as deputy commanders for a few years, and then be recalled to headquarters to be trained as elite personnel once they reached the fourth rank.

No one can say for sure how far he will go in the future, but he will definitely be much better than this old guy who is halfway to the grave. But there is something I can't figure out. Since this guy has extraordinary knowledge, where does he get so much time to learn so many things?

Learning potion-making is understandable, it shows he has considerable talent. Given his background in the mysterious art of inscription, he might have more exposure to this kind of thing, but what exactly is inscription? Could he really know it? This is an intermediate level competition.

Inscription is not like potion making; if you don't know it, you simply don't know it. There's no room for error. If you make a mistake, you lose everything, and the materials are ruined on the spot. Moreover, if you don't have a third-tier level of understanding of this, the things you make will have no practical effect whatsoever.

Today, everyone here taking the intermediate inscription certification exam is from an inscription-related background, and Lu Yuan is somewhat of an anomaly among them.

Lu Yuan, on the field, had no idea what the String Knight on the platform was thinking. All he could see was the huge pile of materials in front of him, and he was preparing to choose something to make.

There are actually quite a few materials, which can be roughly divided into three categories.

One type is ordinary materials, such as the roots and branches of various trees or plants, as well as the parts of special medicinal herbs that can be used to make strange props. The other type is strange materials and polluted materials, which are special materials taken from strange or polluted things.

The last category consists of ores and metals, but while they are plentiful, the proportions are severely imbalanced.

Metal ores were the least abundant, and there were relatively few usable parts of medicinal herbs. Only bizarre and polluting materials were piled up to the brim, covering almost two-thirds of the entire table.

Obviously, these two materials are really worthless. Worthless, right? Well then, Lu Yuan won't be polite. He's going to go big.

The only pity is that there was no ghoul brain core in the materials. Otherwise, if he had used the ghoul brain core to make a finished product, it would have been a done deal, and he would have definitely passed the intermediate certification.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then mentally tapped Oden. After a while, Oden finally responded.

"Huh? The exam's started?" His voice still sounded sleepy; clearly, he wasn't fully awake yet.

"Wait a minute before you sleep, wait a minute before you sleep." Lu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony with Auden. He flipped the card in his hand over again to make sure Auden could see it clearly.

Oden was dazed for a while, but after reading the rules, his consciousness gradually cleared. This kind of certification was actually not difficult for Lu Yuan, in fact, it was very simple. From the Stonefire Gauntlets to the Stonefire Pouch, and then to the four fire talismans, Lu Yuan's talent in strange inscriptions had already been demonstrated.

As long as the materials are selected well and the techniques are given to him, with Lu Yuan's current level, it's a piece of cake. There's no way he won't pass the intermediate certification.

Auden regained his composure and, through Lu Yuan's eyes, began to examine the materials on the field. After looking around, he found that they were all ordinary items, especially the strange and polluted materials, which were basically exclusive to the Northern Territory. Lu Yuan had never seen them before, but Auden had.

"Take the yellowish, angular piece from that pile of ore on the left," Oden began ordering. "That stuff is called copper crystal ore, and it looks quite pure."

Lu Yuan reached out and picked up the copper crystal ore. It was clear and bright, and was indeed a high-quality material.

"Go back to that pile of strange materials and take out that core and those eyes."

Following Auden's instructions, Lu Yuan picked out the core of an unknown creature and a pair of eyes from another unknown creature.

"Oh, and get another dose of fluorescent moss spore powder," Oden added, "the stuff you redeemed before."

Lu Yuan followed the instructions and selected four ingredients, that is, four ingredients.

"Are these the only four types?" Lu Yuan asked, weighing the items in his hand.
