Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

They met with high-ranking leaders from Linhai Province and many heads of research centers.

Of course, there's also the group from Longjiang City, their competitor in Tianan City.

However, Zhang Chaoqiang, with his beast-like keen sense of smell, seemed to have already sensed a sense of certainty in their expressions during his meeting with those people.

After Jian Dan met the other three students from Longjiang City, the four of them entered their own synthesis spaces.

The moment he entered, after observing the monster crystal cores placed on the table, Zhang Chaoqiang instantly knew everything.

Is Chapter 211 being published so quickly?

There were twenty first-tier demon beast cores on the table.

These are twenty different types of first-tier demon beast crystal cores, including the Black Horned Demon Fox, the Glazed Demon Bull, and the Earth-Escaped Scale.

These are the main raw materials used to synthesize artificial crystal nuclei. The quality of these raw materials directly determines the level and state of the crystal nuclei synthesized by the synthesizer.

In the unified competition, all four people used the same crystal cores, which were uniformly allocated.

Of course, this only refers to the types of demon beast crystal cores; the spiritual energy content and quality they contain...

That's hard to say.

In the somewhat chaotic, synthesized alternate dimension, the contestants began their preparations. The Advanced Research Center lived up to its reputation; even Su Huoyin was only able to attend for the first time thanks to Zhang Chaoqiang.

Standing before the group of onlookers was Lin Shengshan, a senior leader of Linhai Province. As the highest leader of Linhai Province, his words often directly influenced the planning of the entire province.

Of course, as a big shot in Linhai Province, Lin Shengshan is also a martial artist with five spiritual levels and a seventh-level martial arts rank.

In this competition for spots between the two cities, he will act as a witness, personally presiding over and witnessing the entire competition and the final allocation of spots in the combined competition.

Tianan City Mayor An Xitian glanced at the seats on the other side, where none other than the leaders of Longjiang City and two senior teachers from Longjiang University were sitting.

As senior instructors, they are basically all synthesizers at or above the fourth-tier, zero-stage level.

They are basically quite experienced and have all reached the fourth level or above in terms of synthesizer qualifications.

An Xitian glanced at them with a hint of resentment that was barely perceptible, then let out a silent snort.

This group took advantage of the situation, coveting and even plotting to seize the competition qualification that belonged to their Tianan City from early morning.

Furthermore, judging from their demeanor, they seem to have victory in their grasp. Under such circumstances, could they be up to something behind the scenes?

A smug look involuntarily appeared on their faces. The high-ranking officials in Longjiang City, as well as the two senior teachers from Longjiang University, were basically aware of the tricks used against Zhang Chaoqiang.

Furthermore, Lin Shengshan is the most powerful figure in Linhai Province, and their relationship is extremely good. Therefore, what appears to be a struggle between two cities is actually...

Zhang Chaoqiang was eliminated early on.

The two teachers from Longjiang University saw that Ye Gang and his two companions, who belonged to their city of Longjiang, had already begun the first stage of synthesis and purification…

However, in the synthetic space belonging to Tianan City, their so-called "genius," Zhang Chaoqiang, was still standing in front of the synthetic platform.

He was staring at the materials needed to synthesize the artificial crystal nuclei in front of him.

With a soft "pfft," the group managed to conceal their laughter perfectly on the surface, but inwardly they were already bursting with unrestrained joy.

Zhang Chaoqiang's expression perfectly illustrated that he was also somewhat bewildered and had sensed that something was wrong.

Even the proctors in the synthetic space wouldn't offer him any help; under certain circumstances, the staff were all on the side of Longjiang City.

Inside the synthetic space where Zhang Chaoqiang was, he looked once again at the dilapidated crystal cores in front of him, whose spiritual energy was extremely mixed...

Then he glanced at the research center proctor who was in the corner closely examining his synthesis. When the proctor saw Zhang Chaoqiang's gaze, he seemed thoughtful and deliberately avoided it, as if he dared not meet Zhang Chaoqiang's eyes directly.

In fact, Zhang Chaoqiang was not completely dumbfounded as those people had guessed and concluded.

Instead, he was pondering whether his "theft" could actually be effective in this regard.

Since they were the ones who tampered with things, making it impossible for me to synthesize a high-quality, high-spiritual-power artificial synthetic crystal core, then I'll give them a taste of their own medicine!

The quality of the crystal cores they supplied for their own use was so low, and the concentration of spiritual energy they contained was also very poor in other aspects.

What's missing here, then fill it with your own theft!

However, there is one thing to note: Steal can only be used once, and it must be an item of equal strength to your own, and the one closest to you.

"But can this mechanism break the shackles of other dimensions?"

Zhang Chaoqiang was just thinking about this problem: since each composite space represents an independent space.

Therefore, these two composite spaces cannot be described in terms of distance, because they are three-dimensional…

So he decided to experience it, enveloping the raw materials of the synthetic artificial crystal cores with the aura of theft. A special feeling, as if he had directly crossed the boundary of space.

Orientation is like a blank sheet of paper, and the so-called alternate dimension is just two small dots on it. In reality, the final position is still in a two-dimensional state.

Therefore, after a brief verification, Zhang Chaoqiang concluded that it could be used!

"It's a pity that we could only steal the crystal core synthesized by one person; otherwise, all three of them would have paid the price!"

Zhang Chaoqiang felt somewhat regretful.

However, he was not in a hurry to steal them, because stealing the monster cores in the early stages would only allow him to steal one of the raw materials.

Secondly, those with connections might actually be able to claim they can propose replacing the problematic monster crystal core raw materials.

After all, the other party was also a first-class second-stage synthesizer, so Zhang Chaoqiang was thinking about how to steal the effect on the artificial synthetic embryo after the compression stage, which is the second stage!

In this way, their achievements can be stolen in one go, and even if they have connections, they usually won't dare to play tricks too openly.

Given the current situation, after observing the process, Zhang Chaoqiang immediately began his synthesis operation!

"It finally begins!"

Outside the synthetic space, Tan Yue and An Xitian took a deep breath, but both of them sensed something was amiss, with Tan Yue being able to make a direct judgment.

She knew Zhang Chaoqiang all too well that the raw materials in his synthetic space had definitely been tampered with.

At this moment, Lin Shengshan, the old man sitting at the very top, smiled and addressed the people from Tian'an City:

"Oh? How come Zhang Chaoqiang from Tian'an City is only now starting the first step and stage of the synthesis?"

I observed that among the three students from Longjiang City, Zhu Hengyin and Ye Gang had already successfully purified the spiritual energy of three demon beast crystal cores, and the outstanding high school student Sha Shaojin had followed closely behind, successfully purifying two demon beast crystal cores...

"Truly, the student surpasses the master! Especially Zhu Hengyin and Ye Gang; their synthesis speed is unmatched among those under twenty-two at Longjiang University!"

At this point, the two teachers from Longjiang University who had come together to witness their students secure a spot in the competition nodded deeply, as if declaring the strength of their school and students.

Perhaps due to nervousness and restraint in front of such an important figure, An Xitian didn't say much, because the five-minute pause Zhang Chaoqiang made before starting the synthesis was far too obvious.

This made him temporarily lose confidence.

Separated by the barrier of the synthesized space, the two teachers from Longjiang University, just as Zhang Chaoqiang began purifying the crystal core's spiritual energy, pointed softly at the synthesized spaces of Ye Gang and Zhu Hengyin respectively, calling out...

"The two of them have already refined the fourth demon beast crystal core!"

And the speed remains consistently online! This is something we at Longjiang University are truly proud of!

With a snort, An Xitian thought to himself that this was because they didn't know Zhang Chaoqiang's purification speed; otherwise, their eyes would probably have popped out!

Even though they broke the record of the entire Central Kingdom, they did not publicize it extensively or make it public. Tianan City was directly connected with the Central Kingdom.

The reason is that Zhang Chaoqiang is already an acquaintance of the central government. Although Zhang Chaoqiang is not familiar with those people, the central government is very familiar with him.

For anyone else, this national record-breaking prize would definitely take a considerable amount of time to process, as it requires verification, inspection, and various other steps…

But Zhang Chaoqiang didn't need it; the central government trusted him implicitly.

As for Lin Shengshan, the leader of Linhai Province, he is not a big shot in front of the Central State, so it is perfectly normal that he does not know him.

He then nodded to Ye Gang and Zhu Hengyin, who were inside the synthetic space, and asked, "I wonder what level of spiritual energy concentration these two students can compress at the highest?"

压缩3-10枚晶核灵力作为低浓度，10-18枚晶核灵力为中浓度，18枚晶核灵力以上就是高浓度。

There isn't even an upper limit.

For students who are just beginning to learn about synthesis, it is generally considered very good if they can synthesize only 3-6 crystal cores with low concentrations of spiritual energy.

Attempting to reach even higher concentrations is not advisable.

The Longjiang University teacher replied, "The two of them can compress the spiritual power of up to six different crystal cores, which is already very rare for students!"

Lin Shengshan nodded.

Inside the synthesis space, Ye Gang had already taken the lead and begun the first half of the purification process for the fifth crystal core, secretly pleased with himself...

He couldn't help but think of Zhang Chaoqiang, and then he smiled coldly:

“Your crystal core, Zhang Chaoqiang’s, has been replaced with a broken one with incomplete spiritual energy. Even if you can compress all the crystal cores together, the concentration may not be as high as the spiritual energy from compressing several of our crystal cores!”

Moreover, with your strength, you can only compress and synthesize less than ten crystal cores at most. If you calculate it this way, the concentration and intensity of spiritual energy in them are at least one-third of ours!

Even if you manage to synthesize a first-order artificial crystal core in the end, I will be the ultimate winner in terms of quality and strength!

During the synthesis process, Ye Gang began to grimace, preparing for a more focused synthesis and purification process; he could no longer multitask...

However, at exactly the same time, almost everyone outside stood up from their seats!

From the moment Zhang Chaoqiang started to act until he stopped and continued to control his spiritual power, less than two minutes had passed.

But in those two minutes, Zhang Chaoqiang accomplished something that shocked everyone present!

Zhang Chaoqiang stood with his hands hanging down at his sides, and in front of him were 20 pure light orbs floating in mid-air.

They all emitted a faint white shimmer.

what does this mean?

This means that in just two minutes, Zhang Chaoqiang had extracted the purest spiritual energy from as many as 20 mixed monster crystal cores and precisely controlled them to float in front of him.

In an instant, everyone outside—from senior teachers at Longjiang University to Lin Shengsan, the highest-ranking official in Linhai Province, and various leaders from Longjiang City, including Tan Yue and An Xitian—was present…

Everyone was instantly chilled to the bone by this scene.

In just two minutes, Zhang Chaoqiang extracted the spiritual energy from as many as 20 crystal cores.

This is not just at the level of genius, it's something that is simply impossible. He accomplished something that was almost impossible!

The leaders of Longjiang City staggered; they hadn't expected Zhang Chaoqiang to be so fast.

The first stage of synthesizing first-order artificial crystal nuclei was completed in less than two minutes.

In fact, Zhang Chaoqiang's rapid progress was largely due to the manipulation by the leaders and students of Longjiang City, as well as a group of researchers.

Because the quality of the monster crystal cores used as raw materials for synthesis is not high, and although the spiritual energy in them is mixed, the intensity and concentration are very low.
