That's almost enough.
Fang Plover raised his head, pushed open the eyepiece, and glanced in the direction of the rest area. He guessed that Mu Lan, MTT, and everyone else who had studied this art should have understood what they wanted to express.
For alchemists, only after passing the first step can they clearly see the meaning behind this ancient skill. But this first step is already an insurmountable threshold for many people——
It was only a long time after that that he learned that such statements had spread since he left the Southern Territory. People spread this rumor by word of mouth and turned this rumor into reality, believing that the alchemy of the Numerin elves was a complex, protracted, but very effective material purification technique.
but it is not the truth.
But this misunderstanding is not to blame on most people, but on his own negligence at the time. On the one hand, multiple parallelism, as a technology from the second world and the basis of ancient alchemy, is indeed too difficult for the alchemists of the first world.
If you cannot cross this step, you will naturally not be able to see the world behind that door.
When Anloser taught him this skill, he directly told him its significance. He had seen the scene in the Hall of Thousand Doors that was almost made out of nothing, so he naturally understood the greatness of this ancient alchemy.
But at that time, he himself was only at the stage where he knew what was happening but did not know why.
He himself had only a partial understanding of it, so naturally he could not briefly describe its significance to others. As for what elements are, what is ether, what is the basic logic of Xinghui's construction of this world, and what is the art of creation.
Those things were something he only figured out later in the vast silver sand sea of Istania.
Because of this, people like Cui Yu and Dill, holding the first half of this ancient skill, would naturally think that it is just a skill. As for its complicated and procrastinating parts, if people only regard this ancient alchemy as a skill, rather than a system itself——
So its reliance on multiple parallelisms does make it confusingly complex.
Simply put, as a means, it is too complex.
But if this is a method of describing the nature of the world, then it appears so concise and beautiful.
It is difficult for Fang Pliance to explain these principles clearly to an ordinary person who does not understand alchemy. Even if he explains them in detail, the other person may have only a partial understanding. And only those who have truly witnessed the beauty of simplicity can feel the throbbing of the original and essential nature of the world from their hearts——
That is the most perfect interpretation of the meaning of alchemical creation.
So starting from understanding the misunderstanding. Fang Yu had already made up his mind to rectify the name of this ancient skill inherited from the elves of Numelin, and to break people's stereotypes about it as a complicated and protracted little method.
Because it is much more than a simple craft.
It is the key that opens the door to another world.
As for how to do it, he had already thought about it before he went on the field. No matter how much he said, it would not be as good as seeing a storm with his own eyes. After all, Anlose used the same method to open the door to the world for him in the illusion of the Hall of Thousand Doors.
Knowledge that is too profound for ordinary people to understand. And for those Kaolin-Ishulian contestants who are well versed in this technique and have practiced it a lot, they can understand the meaning behind it with just one glance.
On the field, it is not just materials that are being shaped at this moment.
But the rules of alchemy.
But that's as far as it goes.
The next part is too shocking. Those are the theories he has repeatedly tested after encountering the Kraken construct in Istania. Later, he commissioned Ms. Tata to install the construct on the Seven Seas Traveler for the same reason.
Those experiments naturally had their consequences.
But Fang Piao didn't want to cause too much commotion here before the craftsman competition ended.
After all, the soul fingerprint warned him again and again. He had no technical grudges, but he was not completely selfish. Naturally, he understood that the interests of the Kaulin-Ithurian delegation must be safeguarded first at this moment, and he was in no hurry to disclose the technology more broadly.
He has never been a believer in egalitarianism.
The light in Fang Yu's hand gradually dimmed, and he gently put down the last completed component. The various components in front of him have piled up like a mountain, most of which he personally purified and cast from raw materials, and are scattered on the ground.
The fact that the parts are not cast through a magic furnace is surprising in itself.
But after all, this is no longer the venue for the Southern Realm Competition. Now, ancient alchemy has long been spread in the alchemy world through his own name, making people familiar with it.
When the spectators in the audience saw him doing this, they felt that it was expected. After all, the contestants of the Kaulin-Ithurian delegation could be said to have learned ancient alchemy from him. To trace the source, he can be regarded as the 'initiator'.
The only surprising thing is that it is too slow.
More than half an hour has passed.
Kula has finished setting up the core part of his work, and now he is starting to add bricks and tiles to other components. The framework has already taken on a roughly complete form and is becoming further full.
This young man of Berber origin is methodical and his speed may not seem fast, but his progress has already caught up with Weiyu’s previous completion rate. The commentator was also amazed by this, and finally came to the conclusion that it was because the opponent made fewer mistakes and did not waste many steps.
So it seems slow, but it's actually fast.
However, Kula didn't even raise his head in response to the outside world's comments, and he didn't care at all about what happened to Fang Plover. He only concentrated on his work, staring at his own work, completely immersed in his own world.
On the other hand, look at Fang Plover. The audience thought that the latter would show off his real skills after finishing processing the components, but Fang Pliance's performance was disappointing. His reaction was not fundamentally different from Kula's, and he picked up the parts one by one and started to build it. .
That movement can't be said to be slow, it's even very smooth, even faster than the former. Precisely and without the slightest hesitation, a frame appeared in front of Fang Yu almost instantly.
It was as if he had been making similar things thousands of times, just like those master craftsmen who were immersed in alchemy workshops all day long.
Most alchemists don't have this chance.
And the geniuses of the Grand Guild don’t have to spend all day making the most basic things.
"Brother Ed is so fast," Tian Lan couldn't help but say, "But it's too late. Most of the time has passed. What was he doing before?"
The others said nothing.
But Tianlan's words are actually the common sentiment in the hearts of all the viewers who are paying attention to this game at this moment.
The strength shown by Fang Plover is not considered weak.
The solid basic skills he currently displays are beyond most people's expectations. It can be said that he is on par with the Berber player named Kula whom they were previously optimistic about.
The problem is, it's too late.
If the two were to fight each other from the beginning, it would be hard to say who would win at this moment. But what is obvious now is that most of the works in front of Kula have been completed, while Fang Plover has just begun to build the framework.
At this moment, forty-five minutes have passed.
Maybe if you are unlucky, Fang Plover may not even assemble the core parts by the end of the game. Although the Mainland League does not require players to hand over finished products for large-scale equipment, if the core parts are not completed, they may be directly sentenced to lose.
At least the big points deduction is a sure thing.
Those waiting to see Fang Plover's joke are fine.
But Tianlan was so anxious that her face almost turned green, "What should I do, what should I do? Brother Ed is going to lose?" She remembered what happened last time and couldn't help but want to open the webpage again and find a betting website to place bets.
Brother Ed also won like this last time. Although this is metaphysics, Tianlan can't think of any good method. She doesn't have much money on hand now, and the money she won before has been secretly added to the expenses of the Seven Seas Troupe.
Fang Pliance doesn't allow her to do this, but Tianlan doesn't care so much. Anyway, she manages the funds of the Seven Seas Brigade. Who will know if she doesn't tell others?
The Papalars also became nervous, but the latter was not worried about anything else, but how to explain to others that they had nothing to do with a certain embarrassing contestant?
"How much time is left?"
In the rest area.
Mu Lan also asked this for the third time. Although she has not yet recovered from the previous shock, she now has countless questions in her mind that she wants to ask Fang Plion about, what is ancient alchemy, and what steps can it take?
But at this moment, the time approaching the end still brought her back to reality.
Everyone is on the playing field. No matter what Fang Plover does now, at least the game must be completed now. If the score exceeds 7.5 points, it will be a big joke.
She wasn't worried about winning or losing. The points in the first game didn't mean anything. But the girl is worried that Fang Yu will bear too much pressure from public opinion because of this, and will the other party not be able to bear it?
Did he just want to prove to everyone that alchemy is not what people think?
But will the price of doing so be too high?
"Don't worry," Weiyu said, "Ed's hand is very steady. I've estimated that it won't be a big problem to finish the core part before the end."
"real?"
"Really," the latter nodded, "Ed is not slow. I don't know if he tried his best, but his level should be on par with mine."
Then we should try our best...right?
Mu Lan looked in that direction and thought to herself. It’s already this time, if you haven’t tried your best, what are you waiting for? She looked at the time one last time and saw that there were still five minutes left. How could she think about anything else at this time?
What precision, craftsmanship...
If it were her, she would have given way to speed at this moment.
Everything starts with completing the core part.
But at this moment, Fang Plover on the field didn't think so.
In fact, he had already thought about his strategy for this game from the beginning.
The soul fingerprint has repeatedly allowed him to control his strength, and Fang Plover himself is also a good-natured person. When he was at Dawn Star, he listened to Miss Scarpe very much.
But what troubles him is how should he control it?
The point-control method he was so proud of in the Southland Tournament turned out to be nothing more than a joke, and he lost people in the community for a long time.
Fang Plover is thin-skinned and still remembers this. He had already made a plan in his mind and decided not to repeat the same mistakes this time.
It just so happened that Wei Yu gave him a new idea before.
Weiyu chose Kuai.
If he followed suit, he might be imitating others. Fang Yu felt that his opponents were not fools, and Soul Fingerprint Senior would definitely not be satisfied.
But if there is no fast, what else can there be?
Fang Yu felt that he had opened the door to a new world, so from that moment on, he felt at ease - the decision had been made, so in his opinion, this game was already a sure thing.
What's more, that direction coincides with his efforts to change the world's impression of ancient alchemy.
He is really a little genius.
Fang Plover couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
Half a minute before the end of the game——
Korra stopped.
In the last thirty seconds, it was meaningless to add anything to his work. The young man did not hesitate and simply put down the tool, and then looked towards Fang Plover for the first time.
And the other side.
Fang Plover is installing the last component of the core part of the wind element recycling network.
Ten seconds before the end of the game, he clapped his hands and announced that he was done. Seeing this scene, Mu Lan and the others in the audience finally let out a sigh of relief. Anyway, the work is finished——
The referee rings the bell.
Declaring the first day, all four games in the first round are over.
The arena was a little quiet for a while.
Most viewers lack understanding of large-scale installations and do not understand what are the core parts and what are additional components. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the work on Fang Plover's workbench is more than one level worse than the one in Kula in terms of appearance alone.
One work has almost a complete frame, while the other almost only has a rudimentary core.
The staff of the judging team came to collect the works of the two people and send them to the judging office for scoring.
The members of the Continental League referee team and review team are basically professional alchemists selected by craftsmen associations from various places, and there are many master craftsmen with keen vision among them.
The alchemist who came first took a look at Fang Plover's work and couldn't help but praise: "Brilliant alchemy." He had obviously paid attention to this competition before. Although he had never seen ancient alchemy, it was This method made out of thin air is already amazing enough.
Then the other party walked over to Kula and made the same comment: "Solid foundation."
However, he is an on-site referee, not a review referee, so it is difficult to say too much. The alchemist looked at the two people's works before waving his hand for the staff to take them away.
Then there was a moment of waiting.
Kula nodded to Fang Plover, and Fang Plover also bowed back with the etiquette of an alchemist. The two of them didn't say much as they did when they entered. Instead, they packed up their things and turned around to leave.
Fang Plover walked through the crowd. From his direction, it was difficult to see the projection crystals and billboards projecting scores on the field, but he could sense the reaction from the audience.
There was a lot of discussion and noise there at first, but it seemed that at a certain moment, all the voices seemed to be silent.
The whole arena was silent in vain.
Fang Yu was stunned.
What happened?
He subconsciously looked in that direction and saw everyone looking directly at the screen of the projection crystal. Fang Yu couldn't see the content on the screen, but he was very curious about what was going on. Did something go wrong in which game?
He didn't doubt his side.
He had probably estimated his score, and it shouldn't be too outrageous. As for Kula, he couldn't think of a reason why his opponent could lead him by 7.5 points.
In this case, their score in this game should be very ordinary and within reason. In theory, it would not cause such a big reaction.
Fang Yu went through it in his mind and felt that the problem was not big, so he walked towards the rest area feeling good about himself. Ms. Virus and Sister Ming will naturally tell him how many points he has scored when he gets there, so he doesn't have to worry.
Compared to that, he was more concerned about another thing——
He made a big splash on the field, and personally used ancient alchemy to justify his name. Even if the people in the empire couldn't understand it, there should be waves on the Corin-Ithurian side at this moment, right?
The game was not broadcast, but there must have been alchemists who had experienced the Southern Region Competition watching the game live.
There must have been related discussions in the community.
How did they know this alchemy in the first place? They must be shocked now, right?
When Fang Piao thought about this, he couldn't help but feel interesting. He wanted to see how other people besides himself evaluated the elves' creation skills now.
That was something that could change the rules of alchemy.
He had long made up his mind to protect the glory of Numerin's elven alchemy.
Fang Yu thought this while opening the community.
…
Under the playing field.
No one in the rest area cared about Fang Plover at this moment. In fact, whether it was Luo Wei, Shui Wuming or anyone else, everyone looked up and looked at the final display on the scoreboard with some dumbfounded eyes. score.
Soul Fingerprint clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, fearing that someone could not help but destroy the good image he had always created.
She originally held a notebook in her hand, but at this moment, the notebook was almost crushed into a ball of waste paper. The lady had veins popping out on her forehead.
She had obviously warned her over and over again, but this boy was still like this. Did he do it on purpose?
Did he do it on purpose?
Did that guy deliberately want to be happy by confronting him?
Soul Fingerprint thought that he was fairly well-educated, but at this moment he couldn't help but the dark thoughts in his heart came out one after another. If Fang Plover were here, this lady might strangle him to death if he didn't pay attention.
On the side, Mu Lan looked at the expression on the former's face and was trembling a little.
Virus still had a cold face, but Ming looked a little amused and overjoyed.
The scoreboard read the following scores:
Contestant: Kula
Representative team: Mimenos Craftsmen Association.
Score--
Accuracy: 8.9 points, material handling: 9 points, craftsmanship: 8.9 points, aesthetics: 4.5 points, completion: 13.9 points
Total score: 45.2 points
————————————
Contestant: Ed.
Representing the team: Grand Craftsmen Association.
Score--
Accuracy: 10 points, material handling: 10 points, craftsmanship: 10 points, aesthetics: 4 points, completion: 8.5 points
Total score: 42.5 points
There is still a gap between the two scores.
But the countless eyes on the audience stage no longer care about this. People don’t even care that Fang Plover’s completion score is only passing——
Because even the commentators were exclaiming: "Full marks for the first three items!?"
"How can it be?"
"Has such a score ever been given in history?"
"Wrong score?"
Next to the projection crystal, the person in charge of the Super Sports League was also roaring loudly to the staff below and waving his hands vigorously:
"Why are you still standing there, are you doing anything for nothing!? Quick, turn the screen over!"
"Who? Of course it's the Grand Craftsmen Association!"
"A bunch of trash!"
An irresistible thought is emerging in the mind of the person in charge.
Big news!
…
But at this moment——
Fang Yu stood between the rest area and the playing field, with an equally dumbfounded look on his face, because the system was projecting the community's web page into his pupils, and a huge title was shining brightly:
"Is there anyone else present at the main game of the Continental League? Am I the only one who thinks that ancient alchemy is really too complicated? If it weren't for this, Dragon Alchemist wouldn't have almost failed to complete the game. ——”
Fang Yu only felt that his blood pressure was a little uncontrollable.
He quickly opened the post and scrolled down:
"really."
"There is a certain truth. Ancient alchemy has actually always had flaws in this aspect."
"Why don't you ignore this flaw? The people upstairs are stupid, they have already given out the points, have you read it?"
"Haha! Congratulations to Ed, and congratulations to the Grand Club for winning the first game! But now there's big news."
"But doesn't this score prove the original poster's opinion? Ancient alchemy is extremely good at purifying materials, but the speed is as slow as a snail, isn't it?"
Fang Plover's eyes darkened.
I……
"...What exactly am I protecting?"
…
