Don't worry, let me start a game first

The spaceship docked at the port of Miaoxuan Academy, and the students from Kanghua Academy also went to their respective places of residence under the guidance of the guides from Miaoxuan Academy.

After getting a little familiar with the environment, the team leader Wei Zhe called Du Ji and Cheng Wenze together and began to explain the format of the competition.

"There are a total of five schools participating in this academy competition. In addition to our Kanghua Academy and Miaoxuan Academy, there are also three academy schools, Houde Academy, Longteng Academy, and Zixiao Academy, participating in the competition. At that time, each school will be able to come up with a question, and then jointly conduct a competition and evaluation, and the one with the highest score will be the winner."

When Wei Zhe said this, he asked Du Ji and Cheng Wenze: "Tell me what you are best at. When the time comes, I will submit the topic to you based on this."

"Carpentry will do." Cheng Wenze said.

"Mr. Wei, students should be more skilled in forging." Du Ji said.

"Okay, in that case, it's confirmed." Wei Zhe nodded, and then said: "This competition will last for a month. You can arrange the end time of the competition by yourself, but it is best not to leave Miaoxuan Academy too far. You all have Lianxun Pearl, please leave a Lianxun mark, I will notify you in advance during the competition."

Hearing the sound, Du Ji and Cheng Wenze also took out the Lianxun beads tied to their waists and exchanged the Lianxun marks on them with each other.

Lianxun Pearl is a small-scale communication tool. Without corresponding construction, it is limited to mutual communication within a range of more than 300 miles.

But it is more portable and stable.

After the conversation, the three of them returned to their respective residences.

Inside the room, Du Ji told Lin Qianxing about the competition system and some of its restrictions.

"As long as you can bring the puppet, it will be fine. With my help, I guarantee that you will be sure of success." Lin Qianxing said.

Du Ji said: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher."

After the two talked for a while, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Qianxing immediately returned to standing still, while Du Ji came to the door and opened it.

A young man about two meters tall with a strong build and a jade flute hanging from his waist appeared outside the door.

"Hello, junior brother, I live across from you. I am Lu Rang, who is participating in the competition on behalf of the Academy of Music and Arts. I am a second-level [Flute Master]." Lu Rang introduced himself.

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Lu. I am Du Ji, who is participating in the competition on behalf of Tiangong Institute. You are polite." Du Ji introduced himself, and then asked: "I wonder why Senior Brother came to knock on the door?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Rang looked at Lin Qianxing standing in the room and said, "I noticed it when I got off the spaceship before. Junior brother's puppet is so powerful. Did you make it yourself?"

Du Ji glanced at Lin Qianxing, then nodded and said, "I think it was built by me."

Lu Rang looked surprised and said, "Junior brother, please make a puppet like this for me after you return to the academy. The price is not an issue."

"Senior Brother Lu, my puppet is made of mediocre materials. If you want to buy it from me, why not ask the senior brothers and lecturers from Tiangong Institute to help you make one? It is guaranteed to be much more powerful and practical than this one." Du Ji declined politely.

Lu Rang said: "Junior brother Du, that's different. I know the goods. Every part in your puppet has been activated. Even for a third-level instructor to achieve this, I'm afraid it's not easy. , do you have a special spiritual enlightenment technique? I won’t ask too much about this. Junior brother, just do it when the time comes. My Lu family has money, so I will keep a lot of your reward."

"Sorry, senior brother, even if you have money, I want to rest." Du Ji said and closed the door directly.

"Don't worry, you haven't heard my quotation yet."

The sound outside the door was directly isolated by the door, and the room immediately became quiet.

Not to mention, Miaoxuan Academy is very considerate in this regard.

In the room, Lin Qianxing and Du Ji were each reading books. The difference was that while Lin Qianxing was reading, he was also holding some materials in his hands, constantly decomposing and changing forms, and then sticking them together to quickly combine them into various substances he wanted. .

Just before, his [Forger] Taoist profession advanced to the second level, and he gained an additional Taoist skill of [Shapeshifting].

[Change [Second Level Upper Level]: After use, the shape of the material can be changed. ]

Once you have this technique in hand, you can save on molds and other items.

Lin Qianxing could play more tricks, and the ideas in his mind became more and more exaggerated.

He was thinking that maybe he could change his source machine.

If that idea comes to fruition, he can equip it with some weapons and equipment to match his indestructible body.

His combat effectiveness has reached a level comparable to the peak of Xuan level.

Time passed and the next day soon came.

In the morning, Wei Zhe led Cheng Wenze and Du Ji to the competition venue of the Miaoxuan Academy [Craftsman Apprentice].

Students from the other four academies participating in the competition also showed up here.

There was actually a woman among them. She was a student from Miaoxuan Academy, named Hu Lin. She looked very petite. There were no traces of work on her hands or body. She didn't look like she was a "craftsman's apprentice". This way, but she is accompanied by a puppet that is larger than Lin Qianxing, so a lot of hard work should be done by the puppet.

"That's not a puppet." Lin Qianxing corrected Du Ji: "It's the same armored body as mine."

A puppet is a puppet, and a body is a body.

The former is an organ creation that moves independently according to a fixed program.

The latter is a mecha body extended from the human body, which can be manipulated and used by humans.

Duji looked astonished. This made sense.

No wonder this girl didn't even have calluses on her hands. It turned out that she relied on her armor to complete the work.

At this time, Wei Zhe and the lecturers from the other four academies also agreed on the content of the competition.

On the competition side between Duji and his first-level students.

Kanghua Academy chose [Forging].

Houde Academy chose [Clay Sculpture].

Longteng Academy chose [Architecture].

Miaoxuanxue Palace chose [Mechanism Beast].

Zixiao Academy chose [organ weapon].

After drawing lots to determine the order of the competition, the competition officially begins.

The duration of each competition is five days.

They had four days to conceive and select materials and tools, and on the last day they held a production competition at the competition venue.

Materials and tools are uniformly provided by Miaoxuan Academy. Almost all common materials are here, and the materials provided will not exceed your own level.

In other words, first-level competitions can only use first-level materials at most.

The first competition was [Clay Sculpture].

There is nothing much to say about this material, it can only be made of mud.

But although they are both mud, there are differences between mud and clay.

According to the different proportions of materials, the clay sculptures produced are also different.

Houde Academy chose this competition because it was obviously unique in blending earth materials.

Wei Zhe, as a third-level [Source Refiner], is not bad in this area. He benefited a lot from Du Ji's pointers and blended good soil materials.

Not only can it be used to make clay sculptures, but its strength after solidification is even comparable to ordinary steel.

As soon as the four days of preparation time passed, they began the competition at the competition venue.

Tang Zhun, a student of Houde Academy, had obviously already made up his mind. After mixing the soil, he quickly built the structure and then made it with the help of puppets.

"One method can be used, and hundreds of methods can be used." Lin Qianxing said to Du Ji: "You can just treat it as a forged artifact. There is not much difference."

Although it is said that puppets can be used to help, Lin Qianxing cannot be too obvious, otherwise he will be too conspicuous.

He can only be an assistant, and the main part is to guide Duji.

However, after Lin Qianxing looked at Hu Lin at the Miaoxuan Academy, he realized that it was okay for him to be conspicuous.

Hu Lin sat directly in her armor body and controlled her armor body to make clay sculptures. Various tools popped out of her armor body. In just half an hour, a clay sculpture of the master of Miaoxuanxue Palace was created. It was made, and she even took the time to color it and outline the details.

Du Ji also quickly completed his own work, a one-to-one clay sculpture of Lin Qianxing.

When the competition time was over, the referees from the five schools also stood up and commented.

The clay sculptures of Longteng Academy and Zixiao Academy are simply clay sculptures, without much special features and no innovation in materials.

So they only received ratings of two B and three C.

Then there are the clay sculptures of Miaoxuanxue Palace.

The materials are somewhat optimized, and the eyes are moving like a real person, so it received an A-4-B rating.

Finally, there are Houde Academy and Kanghua Academy.

The clay sculpture materials of Houde Academy are innovative, creating a lifelike ferocious beast. There are also detailed changes in the structure, and some small movements can be made.

"A clay sculpture of this level can already be rated as first-class."

"Class A."

"First class!"

As a result, Tang Zhun from Houde Academy directly received the top five rankings, temporarily reaching the first place in the standings.

Finally, there are works by Du Ji from Kanghua Academy.

Lin Qianxing's armored body was restored one to one.

"The strength of the mixed materials is not bad, the overall quality is quite refined, and the details are in place. Let's wait for B." A referee said.

"Wait!" Duji interrupted.

"Student Duji, do you think this rating is inappropriate?" the referee asked.

"Yeah." Duji said, "You only saw the outside, but you didn't see the inside of this clay sculpture."

"internal?"

When the referee heard this, he couldn't help being stunned. Then his eyes flashed and he looked at the entire clay sculpture thoroughly.

At this glance, he discovered the difference inside.

Since it is a one-to-one restoration, the internal structure of the clay sculpture is naturally not missing.

The source machine at the core was actually made of mixed soil.

"Student Du Ji, can you try adding Origin Qi into the Origin Machine?" Another referee said.

"Okay." Duji nodded.

Then a referee brought a small jar of golden origin energy and asked Duji to join it.

After adding the source energy, Du Ji started the source machine.

The next moment, with the buzzing sound of the source machine, the entire mechanism in the clay sculpture began to rotate, and then it actually started to move around under Du Ji's control.

After walking around for a while, the clay sculpture returned to its original position.

"There is no doubt that this is the realm of "natural craftsmanship" we are pursuing. It is never shackles by external conditions and can successfully display its skills in any environment. I give it a first grade."

"Class A."

"Class A."

As a result, Duji also received a top-five rating.

In an instant, Kanghua Academy's points were tied for first place with Houde Academy.

Tang Zhun on the other side exhaled a long breath.

He got a fifth-A rating because he could only get a fifth-A rating.

As for Du Ji, the clay sculpture's top five rating is because the upper limit of its rating is only five.

He was lucky. If Duji's clay sculptures were criticized before his, he might be in the second grade.

At this time, the referee from Miaoxuan Academy spoke out: "The next competition is [Mechanism Beast]. Please have a good rest and prepare carefully."
