However, Lu Yuan did not inject his rationality to actually test it, nor did he intend to try it. This thing should mainly be judged by the String Knights. What if he broke it? Who would be responsible then?

Just as Lu Yuan was about to continue reading, at the other end of the long table, people had already surrounded his Heart-Scraping Lamp, touching it, knocking on it, and some even held the lamp base, preparing to inject reason into it to activate it.

Lu Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Please don't!"

But it was too late. Reason had already entered the lamp holder, and the light blue light swept across, completely enveloping the entire venue.

The next moment, golden light overflowed from it, and a heart-scraping demon made of light appeared out of thin air above everyone's heads.

It has no physical form; it is entirely composed of light, suspended in mid-air, looking down upon everyone below.

In the next moment, everyone's heart was stimulated in some way.

Not far away, the String Knight showed a look of disdain on his face.

How could this person be so reckless? They actually dared to activate such a bizarre prop directly.

The lute in his hand vibrated, and the melody spread through the air, instantly sealing away the heart-scraping lamp.

The melody wrapped around the lamp, layer upon layer, and the light and shadow that had just taken shape immediately dissipated.

And the one who had been infused with reason was also forcibly separated from the Heart-Scraping Lamp by an invisible force.

As soon as the lights went out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of those present were skilled in inscription-related arts and their combat strength was not particularly strong. Apart from Lu Yuan, the Heart-Scraping Lamp's attack was like a knife stab to their backside.

Everyone had a bloody gash on their chest; it wasn't fatal, but it was still quite uncomfortable.

The people closest to the wound had the deepest bloodstains, with beads of blood seeping out.

Meanwhile, the guy who had regained his senses was panting heavily, staring incredulously at the heart-scraping lamp in his hand.

He was the one holding the lamp, so he was not harmed.

He looked at the lamp in his hand, then at the people around him clutching their chests, and his eyes suddenly lit up. "What a treasure! Hey, whose is this? Hey, is it yours?"

He put the lamp back where it was, then ran over to Lu Yuan with a beaming smile, looking at him with admiration. "How did you do that? Can you tell me?"

"Alright, alright, let's go back first and get the intermediate inscription certification approved, then you can discuss it," the String Knight said, coughing twice.

Once the String Knight spoke, the others had no choice but to suppress their curiosity and return to their positions with regret.

Oden, having already surveyed all the props on the field, slowly retreated.

"Your academy certainly has a few talented individuals," Oden commented. "That ring is essentially an alchemical artifact, but it has inscriptions engraved on it. It's made in conjunction with alchemy, making it a rather exquisite amplification ring, but the effect isn't very noticeable. I estimate there's still room for improvement. I looked at the inscriptions, and they're not perfectly engraved; they're still lacking something. However, his idea is excellent. Hmm, a promising talent. And that one too."

Lu Yuan followed his gaze and saw the work of a young man standing next to him: a sphere made of smelted metal with numerous cutouts and inscriptions on its surface. The inscriptions shimmered with a faint red light, constantly undulating within.

That's when he noticed it. It wasn't glowing when he first saw it. What's going on?

Moreover, the fluctuations of the red light seemed to be even faster than before.

"That's an alchemical grenade that can explode," Oden continued. "Did you see the glow on it? That means the power inscribed within it, as well as the elements it contains, are being activated. Judging from the inscriptions on it, they're all either suppressing or amplifying the explosion. Right now, the amplifying explosion inscription is glowing. This thing should be quite powerful when it explodes. But judging from its appearance, it seems like it can be reused."

Lu Yuan heard a different meaning.

This thing is glowing, so doesn't that mean it's been activated?

Holy crap, run!

"Oh, right," Oden replied belatedly.

He looked around at everything in the room and finally muttered, "Looking at everything, yours is still the most eye-catching."

Lu Yuan has already activated the time synchronization.

The next moment, he suddenly grabbed the inscribed ball on the table and threw it with all his might into the distance.

The inscribed sphere expanded violently in mid-air, its gold and red inscriptions intertwining. In the next instant, the gold inscriptions shattered, and the red inscriptions suddenly contracted.

boom!

With a loud bang, the entire intermediate inscription certification room was blown to smithereens, especially the seats at the back, and the materials on them were all scattered everywhere.

The blast wave tilted the long table, and the materials on it rolled all over the floor.

Lu Yuan had just turned off the time synchronization and was still catching his breath. Even if he had turned the time synchronization back on, he would have almost missed the explosion.

Judging from the power of the explosion, everyone present, except for the String Knight, would be injured to some extent. Even if the senior students who were there for certification and were related to inscription studies were not killed, they would be crippled.

Is this guy serious? He's a certified inscription writer, and he's made a bomb? Does he want to kill everyone here?

The others were also startled by this sudden turn of events, especially the young man who had created the inscription orb. He himself shuddered, clearly not expecting his inscription bomb to be activated.

The music of the String Knights had already enveloped everyone. The music, like water under the sunlight, distorted and rippled, blocking out all the materials and wood chips that were flying around.

The fragments collided with the ripples, immediately slowing down before gently landing on the ground.

"Can you please stop making this kind of thing with your Inscription Certification? It was you, Gregory, who did it last time too," the String Knight sighed helplessly.

He walked up to the young man, Gregory, raised his lute, and struck him twice on the head. "Are you trying to blow up all your colleagues?"

"I didn't expect anyone to inject rationality into it. When I first started, I didn't inject rationality," Gregory said, rubbing his head, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

"Alright, we might have to change some of the rules next time," the String Knight said, somewhat speechless.

The others had varying expressions, and some even looked away guiltily.

Sigh, curiosity killed the cat. This intermediate inscription certification is so weird.

Gregory, however, seemed to have seen something, his eyes lit up, and he ran over excitedly, finding a smaller inscription sphere in the ruins.

"Hey, it worked! It worked! This thing can be reused."

He brought back the inscribed sphere, which had shrunk in size. This time, the inscribed sphere didn't look so good; it was completely black, and there were still traces of the explosion burning on it.

However, the inscriptions on the surface were not destroyed by the explosion. I don't know what method he used.

The others instinctively shrank back as they watched him run back carrying a bomb.

"Don't worry, as long as I don't inject my sanity, it definitely won't explode. You can rest assured about that, otherwise I would have been blown up long ago," Gregory said with a grin.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him put the black ball back on the table.

Only at this point does the formal intermediate-level inscription evaluation begin.
