Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 565 Venerable Gan Yan

Venerable Xiao Zhou looked around and, seeing that no one seemed to be voluntarily withdrawing, could only purse his lips.

Bai Yang and the remaining examinees all gathered around him.

Several pieces of damaged inner armor were suspended in mid-air, and they had already begun to repair themselves.

Although the repair speed is not fast, it is still a viable approach to weapon crafting.

With this method employed, it's no wonder no one is willing to give up easily.

Bai Yang looked around and found that the four people were also staring intently at him.

He then flashed a friendly smile, wondering if they could understand the current form of his time-space clone.

With a thought, Venerable Xiao Zhou caused the scattered refining materials and inner armor fragments on the ground to vanish instantly.

The thirty-one pieces of inner armor slowly descended and arrived in front of their master.

"Since neither of you admits defeat, then prove it with your own abilities."

My attacks will gradually intensify; you'd better figure out how to protect your inner armor.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yang immediately placed his hand on his blue inner armor, and a surge of divine power was transmitted to him.

An aura immediately rose from the inner armor, instantly increasing its power.

The other test takers around them followed suit.

Seeing that they were all ready, Venerable Xiao Zhou slowly pushed out a palm.

A total of thirty-one forces acted simultaneously on the inner armor.

Click, click!

In an instant, several inner armors that were already overburdened and had not yet been repaired shattered!

Its speed was so fast that it showed absolutely no respect for its master.

Bai Yang's garment, sensing the pressure, automatically released a blue halo.

The sound of his inner armor breaking was incessant all around him.

Bai Yang was surprised, feeling that there should be less than ten items left in no time.

At this moment, Venerable Xiao Zhou finally stopped.

"Alright, that makes ten of you."

You passed, everyone else failed.

After he finished speaking, he pointed at someone, the lucky guy who had just seen his inner armor shatter and was on the verge of tears.

In an instant, he went from hell to heaven. Clearly, although his inner armor was also shattered, he was the tenth person from the bottom!

It passed perfectly!

Bai Yang looked at the nine inner armors and saw that most of them were damaged to some extent.

Like myself, the only ones completely unharmed were the works of those four people.

The five exchanged glances, all acknowledging each other's strength.

Those five works are clearly not on the same level as the others.

Bai Yang was puzzled, wondering if this could be considered a "pseudo-treasure".

Seeing the doubts in their hearts, Venerable Xiao Zhou smiled and said:

"According to the rules, all ten of you are now the Master's nominal disciples."

But you obviously didn't come here for that, did you?

Afterwards, your master will personally critique your work.

If you truly have talent, then you can stay.

Of the four, the mechanical being with a pale gold body asked excitedly:

"Venerable Ganyan is willing to meet us in person?!"

Venerable Xiao Zhou smiled and nodded, saying:

"good!

According to the rules, even if you are not kept behind, you can still ask your master a question about weapon crafting.

She can answer your questions.

As a disciple in name only, one can come back and ask another question every epoch.

Before Bai Yang could react, the other examinees immediately showed obvious delight.

This seems to be an extremely generous reward.

A cosmic overlord answers one question to himself in each era?

Bai Yang thought to himself that these conditions held absolutely no appeal for him.

However, he naturally couldn't show this expression on his face, so he could only stay where he was and wait silently.

The group waited at the top of the snow-capped mountain for more than twenty minutes.

A figure over ten meters tall suddenly appeared beside Venerable Xiao Zhou.

"Master!"

Venerable Xiao Zhou immediately bowed in respect, and the other examinees followed suit.

Given Bai Yang's size, even when lying down, he was much taller than Venerable Gan Yan, so naturally he did not bow.

He continued to shrink his body, deliberately controlling his speed.

Sure enough, Venerable Ganyan spoke in a dignified voice:

"Please, everyone, no need for formalities."

He then went downhill, shrinking to a length of just over 2 meters, and did not offer any further grand gestures.

This Venerable Ganyan's height and appearance were no different from those of ordinary Niri people.

They look quite similar to humans, only exceptionally tall.

This cosmic overlord looks like a human woman in her thirties, and gives a very good impression.

She seemed to be a straightforward person, and looked directly at the nine pieces of inner armor.

His gaze didn't linger on the last four items; he went straight to the last five before taking a serious look.

"Oh? The examiners this time are all quite good."

All five of these items reached the level of "pseudo-heavy treasures".

When Bai Yang first received those materials, he knew that they were all scraps and of low quality.

The five of them achieved the current defensive effect using materials of this level, which seems to have indeed met the conditions for a "pseudo-heavy treasure".

Venerable Gan Yan seemed quite satisfied, then looked at Bai Yang's blue inner armor.

A strange expression suddenly appeared on her face.

The inner armor suddenly jumped into her hand, which she squeezed hard.

A sharp, metallic tearing sound suddenly rang out.

The sound was so hoarse and unpleasant, it was like scratching a blackboard with fingernails.

If it weren't for the fact that everyone here, even the weakest, is a King-level Immortal, ordinary people would feel nauseous and want to vomit upon hearing this.

Looking at the inner armor that had now turned into a lump of metal in his hand, Venerable Ganyan asked:

"Whose work is this?"

Bai Yang immediately replied:

"This is mine; please give your opinion, Your Excellency."

Venerable Gan Yan looked at Bai Yang, but couldn't immediately recognize what kind of life form it was.

She didn't care about any of that, but instead asked:

"How did you reforge these metals? How did you improve their quality?"

What?

Did this Eiffelo improve the quality of these F-grade metals?

The other candidates were all surprised, especially the one who was crowned king of the metal life form.

He possessed innate racial talents, yet he failed to recognize this, let alone emulate it.

Bai Yang answered directly:

"I don't know how to pass, so I can only do my best."

I happened to have a treasure that could unleash flames, so I decided to do it on a whim.

Just as Venerable Xiao Zhou was about to nod, he thought to himself, "So that's how it is."

Venerable Ganyan shook his head and said:

That's not what I'm asking.

Instead, they asked you how you came up with the idea of ​​using the "Ice and Fire Peak" technique and employing low-temperature cold extraction.

Are you proficient in both the laws of fire and water?

Bai Yang was slightly surprised. She actually saw through him?

Was my thinking wrong?

"When I came here, I saw that this snow mountain was very magical."

Considering that Venerable Gan Yan is a supreme ruler of the universe, every move he makes must have profound meaning.

So I tried to imitate the method described here.

Isn't this a point-scoring item in the performance evaluation?

Upon hearing this, the other candidates were all shocked.

Venerable Xiao Zhou also stared wide-eyed, looking incredulous.

Venerable Ganyan lowered his head and looked at him intently.

"You just watched for a month and learned a bit of the [Ice and Fire Peak] techniques?"

Bai Yang pretended to be nervous and said:

"I do have some knowledge of the laws of fire and water."

"Your Excellency, have I done something wrong?"

Venerable Ganyan sensed that Baiyang's heartbeat, body temperature, and other vital signs were perfectly normal, and he did not appear to be lying.

He immediately burst into laughter:

"That's right! It's excellent!"
