The four projects are carried out in sequence, and coins are used to divide the first. Kaolin-Ishulian always guessed the heads, so the first and second rounds started with plug-ins and magic devices.
As they entered, the arena erupted in even louder cheers. Players from other directions were attracted to look here. There was no participating team from the Empire in the first round. Everyone was still wondering which team was so popular in the Empire?
The Notting Ship team, which entered the venue first, also looked in this direction.
Fang Yu first felt a gaze falling on him. He subconsciously looked in that direction and saw a young man with blond hair standing in front of everyone in the Nodding Ship, looking down at him on the stage.
Fang Yu had seen this face in the information and naturally recognized him. That person is Time Walker, one of the talented craftsmen of the generation of Noddings' Ship. The other party didn't speak, but Fang Yu had noticed the provocative look in his eyes, so he raised his head and looked back.
The young man smiled at him.
But behind the surface politeness is a touch of disdain. However, Fang Yu did not pay attention to this person's attitude. Instead, he noticed the short boy behind him. His face had obvious Near Eastern characteristics. This boy was mentioned in the information. His ID was Kula, Nodin Shizhi. Another main craftsman of the boat is a European immigrant with Berber culture.
The information on this young man was vague, but Soul Fingerprint and Virus regarded each other as an opponent equal to the Time Walker and did not dare to be careless. This is why he played with Weiyu in the first round.
But what Fang Plover cares about is not the level of his opponent.
It was a sign that flashed through his heart. It was not a premonition, but the ring of golden flames that appeared on alert. He had experienced this once during the Southern Region Competition, but after the golden flames revived, this sign became even more acute.
He looked at it in surprise. But the boy named Kula seemed to be immersed in his own world and indifferent to outside attention. He stood behind everyone, obviously distracted. Fang Yu was startled again, because the ring of golden flames trembled and then calmed down, which was completely different from the last time.
He touched it with his hand in confusion, and found that the ring was cold.
illusion?
Fang Yu held the ring of golden flames in his hand, frowned and shook his head. He wasn't sure what happened, so he just wrote it down secretly.
Time Walker saw Fang Plover in front of him in a daze, and he couldn't help but feel angry: "He is indeed the Dragon Alchemist of Corrin-Ithurion, but he didn't take us into consideration at all?"
Fang Yu finally came back to his senses and looked at this guy, a little confused. I think your opponent is not me, why are you angry at me? He subconsciously looked at Wei Yu behind him, but Shui Wuming put a hand behind his back angrily and whispered:
"Don't look!"
It turned out that the other party didn’t know either.
Only then did Fang Yu suddenly realize. He couldn't help but look at the other person with a little sympathy, wondering if this guy thought he was the one he was facing, right?
But I didn't provoke him, so why did this man look so angry?
Could it be that he had suffered any psychological trauma before?
The two teams passed each other and stood on both sides of the stage.
Shui Wuming sighed and asked Fang Yu, "What were you in a daze just now?"
Fang Plover scratched his head.
He didn't know how to talk about the Ring of Golden Flame. It would be better if the people from the Seven Seas Brigade were here, but things about Nicol Bolas were not things that could be explained clearly to outsiders in a short while.
And he was also unsure whether that moment was an illusion.
The Ring of Golden Flame rarely reacts in such a strange way. It responds to the dark aura either with or without it. What does this sudden sign turn silent and then become silent? What does it mean?
"But that's okay," Shui Wuming shook his head, "That guy from Time Walker probably thought you were ignoring him and made him half angry to death. That guy is not likable at all, so it's good to let him suffer a little."
"Do you know him?" Fang Yu looked at the other party in surprise.
"I am Elite's main craftsman
, it’s not surprising to know each other,” Shui Wuming replied without any surprise, “I have also played against that guy in other competitions. In fact, even if it is not about the barrier device, that guy is also a very powerful craftsman.”
Shui Wuming glanced at him and added: "Of course, compared with you and Weiyu, it's still a lot worse. But don't look so stupid anymore. The first round was fine, and in the subsequent games The hiding tactic is a great advantage."
Fang Yu blushed a little and touched his nose sheepishly. After all, he had no experience participating in such a competition before.
"Don't blame him, Ed is different from us," Luo Wei also said for him, "He is not from a big guild, and it is normal for him to have little experience. Shui Wuming and I will watch him and pay attention to anything. The place will tell him in advance.”
The relationship between Ming and Virus is on the same level, but the relationship between their two students is quite harmonious.
Weiyu looked aside and shook his head, wondering why he, a junior, looked so stupid. He looked at the others, but most of the people in the group were actually not familiar with Fang Plover. Only Soul Fingerprint, MTT and Mu Lan were already familiar with it.
MTT didn't care, Soul Fingerprint couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and Mu Lan even laughed out loud.
But Fang Pulong acted like she didn't understand anything at that time, but she led everyone to win the Southern Border Competition in one fell swoop. If it hadn't been for that champion, she wouldn't have been qualified to come here. Therefore, Mulan was not only interested in Fang Plover, but also admired him a little.
The cheers on the field grew louder and louder. Before the official start of the game, the atmosphere had reached its peak.
Everyone in the audience could not help but be infected by this atmosphere.
Especially Tianlan, who was holding up the recording crystal and chirping excitedly: "Brother Ed is so popular. I didn't expect so many people in the empire to know about him."
But that's not necessarily the case. Others have long noticed that the cheers are mostly coming from the chosen ones, while most of the natives of the empire appear to be relatively quiet. The selectors are well-informed and like to have fun. The title of the youngest legendary craftsman is enough to arouse their enthusiasm.
But to say that the name Dragon Alchemist is a household name in the empire, it's not that bad. But at the moment, everyone just smiled and did not refute. Miss Poet has always had such a lively temper, and everyone is used to it.
Except for Parker, of course.
Paparal was born to refute those fallacies, so he immediately said: "How do you know they are not cheering for someone else?"
But Tianlan has experience in dealing with Parker, "Shut up Parker, I'm not talking to you."
"I feel guilty, ouch——"
Someone pushed behind Papalar, and the guy rolled down from the stands like a gourd.
However, there were commotions everywhere in the auditorium, and the small movements here were not noticeable at all. What's more, the staff of the league have already walked to the center of the field, rang the bronze bell hanging here, and announced that the first game of the second round of the Continental League has officially begun——
There was silence on the field.
Competitors in each arena are entering in an orderly manner.
The same goes for the Noddings' Ship and the Grand Guild. The White Tree Society sent an ordinary-looking young craftsman, while on Fang Plover's side, the existence of the Silver Forest Crown was under the control of others. He walked onto the stage amidst the cheers of encouragement.
Wu Cun has a somewhat dull personality.
But after all, the other party is also the main craftsman of Silver Forest Crown. He has experienced such scenes for countless times. Although he is a bit taciturn, he has no stage fright at all. The players from both sides stood about ten meters away, and each began to prepare the tools and alchemy raw materials that would be used next on the workbench.
Both of them moved quickly, but Wu Cun was obviously faster.
The unprepared one is the all-in-one plug-in type III. The white young man chose the equally traditional and familiar Swift Explosion Plug-in Type IV.
Different from the Southern Border Competition, although the main competition of the Mainland League is also decided by both participating parties, there are no restrictions on the entries themselves, and the contestants can choose freely.
But since it was the first round, both sides seemed more conservative.
Both parties chose a classic plug-in as their first entry.
When Fang Yu saw Wucun taking out the omnipotent plug-in, he understood the other party's plan. Bai Xue has introduced the rules of the competition to them before. Players in the Continental League can freely designate works, but different works naturally have different review standards.
It is easy to get high scores for difficult works, but they also place requirements on the operator's own level. The all-round plug-in, as a classic project that will be presented in almost every mainland league, is not very difficult, but the judging standards are not low at all.
This type of plug-in is also called a full-attribute plug-in, which is specially prepared by craftsmen for professionals who require multiple attributes. What it pursues is not the ultimate in a certain aspect, but the average distribution of multiple attributes.
Therefore, there has always been one and only one main scoring criterion for this type of plug-in, and that is what is the extreme value of its average attributes?
But what determines the extreme value of a plug-in's attributes is nothing more than the precision of the craftsman's operation when making the plug-in, the completion of the magic circle inscription and the purity of the material.
In this regard, the participants of the Southern Border Competition had an unparalleled advantage.
Because after the Southern Realm Competition, Fang Plover, with Anrothe's permission, taught all the contestants and participating alchemists the ancient alchemy techniques used by the Numerin elves to purify materials. It can be said that this alchemy was born for this type of plug-in.
As for its advantages, it depends on how skilled the craftsman is who masters this craft.
In Fang Plover’s view——
Wu Cun's preparations for Numelin's magic circle were almost smooth. He was many times more skilled than Cui Yu and Dill's stumbling at the beginning. It was obvious that he had worked hard on this skill after returning.
But this is normal. The other party is the main craftsman of this generation trained by the Silver Forest Crown. His talent is only higher than the latter two, and the practice time is much longer than that of Cui Yu and Dill at the time. He shows such a level at all. Not surprising.
Fang Plover turned his gaze to the other side.
At this time, a quarter of an hour has passed on the field. The plug-in is not a labor-intensive and time-consuming task. The craftsman of Noddings' Boat has completed less than half of the plug-in, and then began to inject the magic circles on it one by one. magic.
That is a craft unique to the White Tree Society—a craft that people call "transcendence." Fang Plover has never seen such alchemy before. The alchemists of Notting's Ship have a small walking stick. When they hold the walking stick, the gem on the head of the walking stick lights up.
That scene looked like a magician casting a spell.
But Fang Yu did not feel the ether surge in the opponent's magic furnace, and the magic crystal was silent. Obviously, the magic reaction did not come from the elemental crystal there. The opponent raised his cane and pointed it at the engraved plug-in and crystal. A faint light emerged from the air and converged into the magic circle engraved on the crystal.
This strange scene lasted for more than a minute before gradually dissipating.
But there was already a commotion in the audience.
"It's ancient alchemy!"
"The ancient alchemy that appeared in the Southern Region Competition!"
Fang Plover looked over there.
It turns out that Wu Cun has entered the final stage. The opponent raised his hand and used his magic gloves to outline the complicated runes and magic circles. The magic power was extended to multiple nodes at the same time under parallel calculation. The dark light flickered slightly, and the materials disappeared one by one in the magic circle.
And in the world of stars, shape it into the shape it hopes for.
The people from Nordinshi's Boat also looked in this direction, with some surprise on their faces, but not too surprised. Soul Fingerprint and Bi Fang have investigated them, so they naturally don't know anything about their opponents. These people are already familiar with the performance of Cui Yu and Dill in the Southern Competition.
"It looks like they have really been to the Hall of Thousand Doors," the young alchemists of the White Tree Society whispered to each other, "There are new application techniques for multiple parallelism. But after all, it is a technology from the second world. It can be used one day. Imagine."
"Can Fana withstand it?" Someone
ask.
"Hard to say."
But these people obviously weren't too worried.
The young alchemist from the White Tree Society on the scene was also not greatly affected, and he didn't even look at Wucun's side. He had already pulled down the watchmaker's eyepiece, adjusted the magnification, then picked up the tweezers and pliers, and concentrated on the final assembly.
"The idea of the Swift Burst plug-in is completely opposite to that of the Almighty plug-in," Virus stood beside everyone and looked at the scene and said, "It pursues the application of the extreme field in a short time, rather than an overall average.
The transcendent craftsmanship of Baishu Society perfectly complements each other when used here. Abandon all other unnecessary aspects, pursue the limits of the attributes that fit, and even go beyond the limits. This is also their traditional strength. "
Fang Yu can understand the logic here.
The Swift Burst plug-in is generally used by professions such as Nightingale and Ranger. There are also some warrior professions who will learn to use it, such as Berserkers. They pursue instantaneous and extreme burst attributes for use in special scenarios.
It's a bit similar to an ability like "Intuitive Dodge", but it can be turned on actively. It is different from overloading, because overloading is generally an overall comprehensive increase and will bring associated negative effects.
The Swift Burst plug-in is a pure performance plug-in. In addition to its own overheating cooling time, it only consumes magic power.
Therefore, the logic of this type of plug-in is to pursue the limit and abandon everything. The negative effects of transcending technology are almost non-existent, but the positive effects will be further amplified. The alchemist of Nordinsh's Ship chose this option, obviously he was well prepared.
But he also heard the underlying meaning behind the other person's words.
Since this is the traditional strength of the White Tree Society, it is obviously something that should be made public. The other party will definitely not use such a method as a trump card. Just like the Grand Club's trump card is definitely not an ancient alchemy learned from the Southern Border Competition.
The main game of the Continental League is much shorter than that of the Southern League. Each game is only one hour long, with a quarter-hour break in between. Each round is five hours long, with two and a half rounds taking place throughout the day and the remaining half after dark.
The entire day's race lasted fifteen hours.
Therefore, it is understandable that the Super Competitive League does not broadcast live broadcasts of the first and second rounds of preliminaries. The competition system is too long and the process is too dull, which is actually one of the reasons why most people think that the Craftsman Competition is boring.
But Fang Plover watched it with gusto.
Wu Cun actually submitted his work one step ahead of the contestant of Notting Ship. This finally brought back the stereotype that ancient alchemy was complicated and the process was lengthy. At that time, Cui Yu and Dill were competing in the Southern Territory Competition. He was also very helpless with his performance.
After all, it was a matter of sharpening one's skills in battle, and being able to get to that point already showed that the two of them had extraordinary talents.
However, the young man from the Baishu Society was not too slow. He was just one step behind and submitted his own work. At this time, less than forty-five minutes of an hour had actually passed, and several other games on the field were also ending one after another.
Those who can participate in the Mainland League and reach this stage will naturally have a much higher average level than those in the Southern League.
The scoring stage and the competition were held at the same time. Wu Cun didn't say a word after he came back, but it was obvious that he had some confidence in his results. While the staff was still cleaning up the field and preparing for the next game, Ming and Soul Fingerprint had already taken the lead in getting their results back.
Contestants: none
Works: Universal plug-in.
Average attribute completion: above 94.3%.
Work rating:
Accuracy: 8.7 points, material handling: 10 points, craftsmanship: 8.5 points, aesthetics: 4.5 points, completion: 13.2 points
Total: 44.9 points
At this time, the referee team also announced the scores at the same time, and there were waves of surprise on the court. The Continental League is a very professional craftsman competition, so most of the spectators who come here are also alchemists, so they can see some skills.
What's more, even ordinary people who have no knowledge of alchemy, there are commentators on the stage to comment on it, and they can generally hear the excellence of this all-round plug-in made by Wu Cun.
As mentioned before, the all-purpose plug-in is a very common type of plug-in, and it is also a frequent visitor to the mainland league. Players can see it selected as an entry in previous competitions. However, as long as you have a little understanding of this, you will understand that although this type of plug-in is common, it is not so easy to get a "perfect" score.
Generally speaking, if ordinary craftsmen can chase the average attributes of the all-purpose plug-in to more than 70%, it is already a work that can be evaluated as B+ or above, which is a passing grade. This type of plug-in mainly tests the player's assembly accuracy, craftsmanship and material handling level of the plug-in.
Especially the last item is the most important.
In history, there have been players who have achieved over 85% attribute completion of all-purpose plug-ins, and the highest one even reached 87.2%. However, due to the influence of marginal benefits, the higher the standard line of 85% is, the more difficult it is to improve.
People have never seen someone actually enhance the all-purpose plug-in to more than 90% in the mainland league, and it is still a high score of 94.3%.
This is where the sound of surprise in the audience came from.
People may have heard about ancient alchemy, but hearing it and seeing it with their own eyes are two different concepts after all.
So it’s no wonder that the referee team gave a perfect score of 10 in terms of scoring and material purification. Obviously the master craftsmen on the judging panel are also knowledgeable people.
The points system of the Continental League is like this.
Assembly accuracy, material handling and craftsmanship, appearance and overall completion of the work are collectively referred to as the five dimensions of the work. But among the five dimensions, not every dimension is equally important. The first three dimensions are the solid foundation of the alchemist in the school, and each item is scored out of ten.
The score for appearance is only five points, which is not as important as the first three items.
The last item is completion.
The completion score of the work reflects the craftsman's understanding of alchemical techniques and the different magic devices themselves.
After all, if the alchemist pursues the limit of a certain attribute with an all-around plug-in, or pursues an average with a quick burst plug-in, this is undoubtedly a problem with the understanding of the plug-in's function itself. The all-around plug-in produced by Wucun has perfect and balanced attributes, and looks like a work of art to the craftsmen, so it naturally received a high score of 13.2 points.
In fact, the organizers of the Continental League have always believed that understanding and cognition of the work itself, and knowing how to operate alchemy to achieve the desired results, are the key to distinguishing geniuses from ordinary craftsmen.
Therefore, as the last dimension of the five dimensions, the completion of the work is also the most important dimension among the five dimensions, with a total score of up to fifteen points.
With a five-dimensional total of 50 points, Wu Cun scored a high score of 43.9 points in the first game on behalf of the Grand League. It was obviously a good start. Everyone couldn't help but pat the shoulder of the Silver Forest Champion. .
To express congratulations.
"What do you two think?" Soul Fingerprint pulled its own player aside and asked in a low voice.
Mu Lan and MTT looked at the scores and shook their heads.
"My mastery of ancient alchemy is not as good as his," Mu Lan sighed. After all, he is the main craftsman of Silver Forest Crown. The level of craftsmen trained by Silver Forest Crown and Elite is also famous in the country. "Throw aside the ancient times." If we don’t talk about alchemy, Wu Shen is second only to Ed, Weiyu and Shui Wuming among us.”
"But as for MTT..." She looked at her companion.
"You think so too?" Soul Fingerprint went to see MTT.
The latter thought for a while and answered truthfully: "I may be a little better than him in ancient alchemy, but in other aspects I'm just on par with him. In terms of assembly accuracy, I should be able to surpass him."
Soul Fingerprint breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was the leader of this team, she was also Ragnarok's analyst after all. MTT was specially selected from the youth training camp of Ragnarok's generation in order to compete with the Silver Forest Crown and Elit.
When e competed, she didn't expect that the taciturn general of the Silver Forest Crown would startle her as soon as he came up.
That's not quite the same level as Fang Plover's performance.
No matter how powerful Fang Plover is, he is not a player of the Grand Guild, and after all, there is no conflict of interest between him and Ragnarok.
But Wu Cun's performance was very modest. Amidst the congratulations from everyone, he only looked at Fang Plover and said, "This is not my fault. Mr. Ed's ancient alchemy helped a lot. Now most of the alchemists in the entire southern region should be grateful. Mr. Ed."
This is also true.
Except for Wei Yu and Gu Land, most of the people present studied ancient alchemy after that.
"You don't have to thank me," Fang Yu smiled, "Those are all Mr. Anloser's instructions. If you are willing, you can promote this technology and let more people understand it. And I am in the southern border After that, I learned more about this technology. If you don’t mind, I can tell you this part as well.”
"Really?" Shui Wuming asked with interest.
Fang Yu nodded. He didn't care too much about being technical. On the contrary, having so many equally excellent alchemists discussing the art of elf creation with him might help him solve many problems that had been confusing him.
"Can I do that too?" Weiyu asked in surprise.
"Of course." Although Liu Liyue didn't have a good opinion of the people of Silver Vislan, Fang Pultru didn't mind, "Princess Brianne also said that we are now jointly representing Kaolin-Ishulian. Everyone takes control The more alchemy we have, the easier it will be for us to go further in the next games.”
Weiyu was slightly surprised, looking at the former, her eyes couldn't help but reveal admiration. He was born in the Kapka Society, and he also studied alchemy with the same philosophy, but he was always restricted by all aspects as he was born in a large guild.
But before that, he had never thought that anyone could do this.
He couldn't help but nodded and said, "That's right, but we can't let Ed do the work alone. You are all the top craftsmen of your respective guilds, and you should have some unique skills of your own. In addition to belonging to the guild's assets, For that part, we can take out what we have gained and communicate with each other.”
Weiyu paused.
"After ten glorious years, our Third Division has never really transcended itself. Even Miss Loofah's generation actually relied on her own strength to reach the top ten, which does not represent the real strength of the Third Division at that time."
"Our previous battles in the Turbid Realm were ridiculed by others, and we also lost in several super competitions. Although the Continental League is not a competition that attracts attention, it comes from the special field of craftsmen after all. It does not attract much attention, but among the aborigines "My influence is extraordinary," he looked at everyone, "I hope to go further in this game, what about you guys?"
"I agree." Shui Wuming said immediately.
Luo Wei naturally had no objection.
The one who talks the most among the people is usually Xiaoyao. But the suggestion was a whisper, and he, who was also born in Silver Vislan, had no choice but to express his support.
As for the other people, they did not express any objection.
Fang Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that one of his suggestions would turn into such a result. However, he was happy to see the result. The people present were all talented craftsmen from the major guilds, and they were willing to exchange their techniques and alchemy techniques. , it must be unique.
But this always gave him a strange feeling.
In fact, there was an era like this during the glorious ten years. At that time, the two major alliances had not split, and the Battle of Covenant Mountain had not happened. Although the major guilds were in a competitive relationship, they were all unanimous in dealing with the outside world. Technical exchanges between major guilds are very frequent, and they are often not so self-conscious.
The kind of enlightenment he saw among the alchemists in the South was once widely seen among the forerunners of the Chosen Ones. It was also the era he longed for most.
Everyone was obviously aware of this.
After they stopped this topic, for a moment
They looked at each other and couldn't help but feel a little silent.
When did things start to change?
Not far away, Ming looked at Virus. Virus still had that cold look, but there was also something strange in his eyes. She is actually younger than Ming. Ming is in the same class as Odin and Chenxi, and she has experienced the end of that glorious era.
And she.
Then learn about that era from another way.
I also learned about the things behind Covenant Mountain.
The exchange between these young people at this moment obviously reminded both of them of something.
"Sister Ming?" Bai Xue noticed the subtle change in the craftsman queen's mentality and couldn't help but ask.
But she was actually a little embarrassed because technical exchanges between major guilds were not as simple as she imagined. She was a little worried that people like Shui Wuming would get mad and say things they shouldn't say, causing trouble for the delegation.
Especially since she is currently responsible for contacting Silver Vislan and Fang Plover, the guild values the Dragon Alchemist very highly. If she handles it improperly, I'm afraid the guild's regard for her will be reduced a lot.
"Let them go," Dan Ming only shook his head and replied, "These people have a sense of proportion and can clearly distinguish between private and guild areas."
What else does Bai Xue want to ask?
But fortunately, Bi Fang had already brought back the results from Notting's Boat.
As expected, the player from Notting's Boat was slightly inferior to Wu Cun. The opponent's high score also came from the completion of the work, which was only slightly lower than Wu Cun, with 13.1 points.
What the Swift Burst plug-in values is the extreme attributes given in the two attributes of agility and strength when the plug-in is activated. The alchemist of the Ship of Notting achieved a very high extreme attribute completion degree in these two items, and Wu Cun’s evaluation is exactly the same:
94.3%
But first of all, there is a difference in the difficulty of pursuing attributes between the Swift Burst plug-in and the Almighty plug-in. Moreover, in terms of basic skills, the alchemist of Nordins' Ship was not as good as Wu Cun in all aspects, so the final total score was only 41.9 points, which was lower than Wu Cun.
First round.
Victory without survival.
…
