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

These vibrations can penetrate the barriers of different dimensions, thus serving as a signal to the participants that the competition has begun.

The main theme of this competition is concentration.

It's not about time.

Therefore, no countdown timer was designed on the field.

Therefore, Zhang Chaoqiang's plan for Tan Yue was not to rush.

Take your time and don't rush things, because this project has no time limit. The host will only assess the concentration of spiritual energy in the synthesized embryo when the spiritual energy and mental energy are exhausted.

The main scope of assessment for spiritual energy concentration is actually the amount of pure spiritual energy that has been compressed into the artificial crystal core synthesis embryo.

Therefore, if they proceed slowly and without distraction, Zhang Chaoqiang believes that Tan Yue can achieve even better results than usual.

Do not exhaust your spiritual energy all at once!

This was Zhang Chaoqiang's reminder to Tan Yue before the match.

However, that's not what he did...

As soon as Zhang Chaoqiang entered the synthetic space, he began to have his own little scheme.

Once inside the space, each contestant is completely unable to see what's happening in the other contestants' spaces.

Therefore, he decided to finish the task quickly, since wasting time here was not worthwhile for him. The key was to get out as soon as possible and check on Tan Yue's synthesis progress.

"Alright, the 122 contestants have begun their concentration tests. This time, they are only at the first and second stages of the first-order artificial crystal nucleus and do not need to synthesize the final microstructure of the crystal nucleus..."

Therefore, purification and compression became crucial for them to rationally allocate their abilities, spiritual power, and mental energy.

The synthesis competition is about to begin.

After the start was announced, the contestants began their first step at a leisurely pace: extracting pure spiritual energy from the crystal cores of different kinds of monsters.

Because there is no time limit, most people's speed is only slightly above average, neither particularly fast nor particularly slow...

That's because Zhang Chaoqiang and Tan Yue are still working on their synthesis process.

Therefore, what is particularly fast and what is particularly slow will be made clear to all the spectators later.

"Xin Yun City contestant Wu Ma Meng Chao, we can see that his synthesis speed is fairly average, it seems he wants to take a steady approach. It's worth mentioning that this synthesizer's aptitude is at the third stage of the first tier..."

Ranked sixteenth among all participants, I wonder what kind of surprises he will bring us in today's first match!

Also included are Dang Zhenpeng from Jiangnan City, Yang Yunqing from Yangyun City, and Xiang Yunlian from Jingran City. They are all generally considered to be among the top ten in this competition, and their speed is above average. Soon, Yang Yunqing…

He had already successfully purified the two first-tier demon beast cores in front of him... and only two minutes had passed...

"Gao Guojun from Tongxin City and Xiao Xia from Liuhai City have both achieved a top-twenty ranking in overall strength. They have also successively carried out the purification process of their second monster crystal core."

At this moment, Tan Yue also began her slow synthesis process.

Fifty different kinds of monster cores were placed in front of Zhang Chaoqiang.

The number of monster cores among them...

Even if two-thirds were reduced, most people present probably wouldn't be able to successfully synthesize nearly 15 crystal nuclei of the required concentration.

After all, the highest level of first-order crystal nucleus concentration in the entire Central Country came from the 25 crystal nuclei that Zhang Chaoqiang had previously created.

Before he set a record of 25 first-order crystal nuclei in the Central Country, the previous record was only 20.

Therefore, this number is definitely far greater than the contestants' ability. However, after considering various factors, the organizers still placed far more crystal cores than the contestants could withstand the compression.

After two minutes of preparation, Zhang Chaoqiang finally began to act.

During this time, Lei She, the host, even wondered why Zhang Chaoqiang was still standing in front of the synthesizer.

But the next second, he was forced to give a long and rambling explanation about Zhang Chaoqiang.

Originally, his commentary was given to Gu Yizheng, the undisputed number one genius of Zhongzhou City. Now, he has begun the purification of his fourth crystal core.

But when my mind wanders...

"Zhang Chaoqiang actually completed the purification of the first crystal core in an instant?"

What happened next left Rescher even more amazed.

"Zhang Chaoqiang completed the purification of the fifth crystal core."

Zhang Chaoqiang completed the purification of the 15th crystal core…

He broke the first-order concentration record in the Central Country and completed the purification of the 30th crystal core!

Who exactly taught him how to synthesize it?

Did he actually spread all the pure spiritual power of thirty crystal cores together?

What exactly is he trying to do?

Could it be that he intends to compress all the pure spiritual energy extracted from the crystal cores of all the demon beasts into the artificial crystal core synthesis embryo?

This assessment isn't testing the contestants' speed; is he sure he wants to do this?

Chapter 226 completed at high speed

At this point, nearly ten minutes had passed since the start of the match.

Within those short ten minutes, averaging three per minute, Zhang Chaoqiang purified the spiritual energy within the complete demon beast crystal cores.

After all, it was a complete demon beast crystal core, not one of those tampered-with pieces from before, so his speed was naturally slower.

However, in the eyes of others, Zhang Chaoqiang's so-called slowing down was already a terrifying phenomenon.

After all, within that ten-minute timeframe, even Gu Yizheng, representing Zhongzhou City, had only refined the sixth demon beast crystal core.

This speed, which was five times faster than the opponent's, more or less moved and disbelieving the host, who was also the director of the research institute, Lei She.

"At this speed, if Zhang Chaoqiang can maintain the macroscopic quantity of the purified spiritual energy within a normal range, then without a doubt, he will be the number one person in the Central Kingdom..."

The first person...

The first person?

Gradually, the audience members at the scene began to realize the true value of those words.

In other words, in terms of efficiency and speed alone, Zhang Chaoqiang is undoubtedly the number one synthesizer among all the contemporary Central Kingdom.

Who is Lei She? He is the director of the Zhongzhou Science and Technology Museum and Research Institute. No one present, including the parents and the city's top officials, could possibly disbelieve him.

Therefore, what he said is of extremely high value.

As a fellow native of Zhongzhou, Lei She wasn't unwilling to speak up for Gu Yizheng, but that was simply the reality.

Some city representatives and elders of the contestants' families, who were unwilling to admit the truth, comforted themselves inwardly.

This competition isn't about efficiency, but about the concentration of artificial crystal nuclei synthesized into embryos. The fact that Zhang Chaoqiang could achieve such a high speed…

However, this does not mean that he has left all the other contestants far behind in speed.

He simply wasn't going to compete for speed. Even though Zhang Chaoqiang was indeed fast and efficient, others, especially the contestants from his own family, might not be far behind him.

Furthermore, the speed was unprecedented for them, and they had some strange thoughts. They wondered if the pure spiritual energy that Zhang Chaoqiang had extracted might not be pure, and that they couldn't sense it through the barrier of the synthesis space...

Its concentration is also unknown, so the host, Reischer, previously mentioned the point of "keeping it within a normal range under macroscopic conditions".

In other words, it must reach the amount of pure spiritual energy of a normal monster crystal core in order to be considered a qualified concentration.

Otherwise, points will be deducted from the concentration score.

However, given Zhang Chaoqiang's speed and strength, especially his effortless mastery of synthesis, it's practically a certainty that he will advance to the top 61 out of the 122.

It's something you can do even with your eyes closed.

Therefore, Lei She's attention was focused on the next move Zhang Chaoqiang would make.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang had finished purifying the thirty different types of monster cores in front of him…

He placed those pure, grayish-white clusters of spiritual energy, which only martial artists could observe, in front of him.

Furthermore, he carefully divided and distributed the pure white spiritual energy cluster floating in front of him.

The spiritual energy within was constantly writhing, and Zhang Chaoqiang was continuously balancing and distributing the macroscopic quantity of each spiritual energy cluster.

Gradually, the number of macroscopic particles of those spiritual energy fluctuations has basically reached the same consistency!

In this scene…

Clearly, it wasn't just Lei She who noticed it, but also Lao Chen, An Xitian, and An Xitian, the mayor of Tian'an City.

Especially An Xitian, who even pointed to the location of Zhang Chaoqiang in the synthetic space and said in a trembling voice, "Here we go again, this is Zhang Chaoqiang's specialty!"

He would never forget the time when they were competing with Longjiang City for the quota...

In that instant, Zhang Chaoqiang balanced the spiritual power of the twenty demon beast crystal cores and then compressed them all at once.

All of it was compressed and injected into the artificial crystal core synthesis embryo at the same time.

What kind of courage does one need to have to possess such boldness?

It must be said that Zhang Chaoqiang must have had such confidence to be so decisive as to carry out this miraculous operation again.

"And this time, the number has increased by a full fifty percent, reaching a total of thirty..."

An Xitian murmured, while Old Chen beside him also noticed. With his considerable knowledge, he could see the extraordinary nature of Zhang Chaoqiang's actions.

This kind of operation is definitely not something that an ordinary person can do.

Similarly, Lei She, the host who was closely observing the current situation of all the contestants on stage, stopped mentioning any other contestants for a short period of time once the topic shifted to Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Zhang Chaoqiang's actions were either guided by a master or he figured them out on his own..."

As is well known, in the process of compressing spiritual energy and placing pure spiritual energy into the artificial crystal core to synthesize an embryo, the microscopic space within the synthesized embryo decreases with each unit of spiritual energy that enters.

Furthermore, the entire process of compressing and entering the embryonic space is not as simple as people think.

Different macroscopic quantities of crystal nuclei will automatically and forcibly shift during the compression process. This means that the pure spiritual energy ultimately compressed into the artificial crystal nucleus synthesis embryo will have its concentration reduced to the same amount for each component.

"However, balancing during compression, which is called forced compression balancing in academia, is convenient, but it is time-consuming, tedious, and involves many steps."

Zhang Chaoqiang's approach of completing tasks ahead of time and intending to achieve them all in one go is something I, as the director of the Zhongzhou Museum and Research Institute, have never witnessed before!

If Lei She's previous praise was of high quality, then his current praise of Zhang Chaoqiang is probably several times more valuable!

After balancing all the pure spiritual energy in front of him, Zhang Chaoqiang began his next step.
