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

Seeing the other person's expressionless face, he realized that this was the truth, and what had happened was not a lie.

"How could this be? What kind of control ability is this that can contain such a huge amount of pure spiritual energy, thirty portions?"

In the realm of synthesis, the ability to control and manipulate is absolutely paramount. Zhang Chaoqiang's current actions are undoubtedly heading towards a water glass that originally contained only 500 milliliters...

It was filled with nearly two liters of water...

Is this ability to control something truly real? And to what extent was the pure spiritual energy compressed into the artificial synthetic crystal embryo compressed?

Disbelief mixed with boundless curiosity was overwhelming, but unfortunately, the other party had already finished the competition, so Gu Yizheng, whose heart was churning violently, had no choice but to put the matter aside.

First, go to the athletes' rest area on the field to wait.

Similarly, after the other contestants completed their synthesis, they saw on the virtual screen that Gu Yizheng, who was always recognized as strong, could only fall to second place.

The first place goes to Zhang Chaoqiang, whose reputation has long been widely known. He is considered by most people to be a reckless martial artist who only knows martial arts.

This was the name they held in their hearts after Zhang Chaoqiang killed Tie Daren.

However, they kept these thoughts buried deep inside and never shared them with each other.

Because they were afraid that if Zhang Chaoqiang, that wicked star, found out, they probably wouldn't have a good outcome either.

Originally, they only thought that the other party's martial arts were outstanding, and that Tianan City was just a small corner of the southern barbarians, yet they sent these two to participate in the competition.

But when the final results came out—no, they didn't even know how the results came about—they were already speechless.

All their thoughts and ideas were buried deep inside, and they would not speak them out. After all, they were not fools. Could one or two of them be as stupid as Tie Daren, Gao Guojun, and Xiao Xia back then?

As for Gao Guojun and Xiao Xia, when they came out, they were temporarily ranked seventh and eighth in the top ten. However, on the other hand, there were no contestants on the field who had finished their synthesis in the synthesis space.

They were actually able to predict their final ranking, which should hover around fourteenth or fifteenth.

At that moment, after glancing at the names at the top of the screen, the two of them immediately ran to the east side of the arena to rest for the players.

The reason they did this was because Zhang Chaoqiang was currently in the west side of the athletes' rest area.

Once bitten, twice shy. Following their family's advice and Lei She's private counsel, they simply avoided Zhang Chaoqiang whenever they saw him, without thinking too much about it.

Life is important...

Especially for someone of Zhang Chaoqiang's age.

At this age, and with the strength he possesses, he's not going to stand there and reason with you all all the time...

Okay, the world has finally turned out as Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong wished, and everyone thinks that Zhang Chaoqiang has entered the rebellious phase of adolescence.

"Zhang Chaoqiang".

About a third of the participants had already completed their synthesis and emerged from the arena, while Zhang Chaoqiang had been staring at Tan Yue's synthesis space, watching her compression process, when suddenly he heard his own name called.

Turning around, one could tell from his appearance that his demeanor was as upright as the wind, his face resolute, and his brow bone as sharp and unyielding as a sword's edge—even someone without a brain could tell…

The other party is Gu Yizheng.

Zhang Chaoqiang was suddenly and inexplicably drawn into his parents' thoughts, even imagining whether it was because of Gu Yizheng's parents...

The reason we named him that was because he was born with an aura of righteousness and integrity; even lying down, he exuded an aura of justice and majesty…

That's really good.

This was the first time I truly understood what "as the name suggests" meant... but no, it should be the second time.

Because it seems like the first time was for myself.

"Hello, senior." Zhang Chaoqiang felt that no matter how he addressed the other person, it was awkward and uncomfortable, so he simply used a common title that was sufficient to address anyone older than himself.

Seeing that the other party did not object to it, Zhang Chaoqiang settled on this form of address.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, you are so young, yet your synthetic skills are even more impressive than those of Xu Shanji, the father of science and technology in China, who has been in contact with you for the same period of time..."

Sometime, could we perhaps have a private chat? Of course, what's there to chat about? I'm afraid I have nothing to share with you…

My main goal is to gain some insights and experiences from you. Please forgive my presumption…

Halfway through his speech, Gu Yizheng revealed his straightforward and unpretentious attitude.

"If there's an opportunity, no problem."

Compared to the straightforward Gu Yizheng, Zhang Chaoqiang's words were clearly just polite formalities.

In the ensuing conversation between the two, it consisted of nothing more than fairly standard greetings and such.

Zhang Chaoqiang accidentally discovered that Gu Yizheng was able to face his own situation very directly. He had said more than once that he was inferior to Gu Yizheng.

Many people can recognize themselves, but few can truly admit it.

With a humble attitude, Zhang Chaoqiang felt that Gu Yizheng genuinely wanted to learn from him and directly see the gap between them.

Therefore, if time permits in the future, Zhang Chaoqiang would probably not refuse.

As they talked, Gu Yizheng teased, "Zhang Chaoqiang, have you noticed that your name and your current situation are actually quite fitting?"

"what?"

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't expect the other party to be such a chatterbox. While he was busy monitoring Tan Yue's match, Gu Yizheng was basically talking non-stop in his ear.

"Look at your name, you're now far ahead of us, it's a situation of one superpower and many strong contenders..."

How interesting…

Lame jokes…

Suddenly, Zhang Chaoqiang felt that the other party's aura had become much more absurd, and even the sharp, sword-like temperament that he had previously perceived had disappeared.

This world is a complete oddity.

In fact, Gu Yizheng never expected that a child who was only thirteen years old would be so mature. Therefore, during their conversation...

Gu Yizheng basically kept coaxing the other party, whether it was the tone of his words or his various small gestures.

It even includes some nonsensical jokes.

Who could imagine that a recognized genius would go to such lengths to please Zhang Chaoqiang just to have a chance to exchange ideas with him?

Unfortunately, Zhang Chaoqiang was not as he had imagined.

He is not young; although he is young in age, he is already quite mature in mind.

It was exactly 11 a.m. at this time.

After a brief period of dealing with the situation, Zhang Chaoqiang finally broke free from Gu Yizheng's one-sided "talkativeness" until he agreed with a slightly harsh tone.

The other party nodded emphatically, clearly satisfied.

Two hours of competition time have now passed, and nearly one hundred people have completed the competition.

They are currently competing to narrow down the field from 122 to 61, and what is most frightening are the contestants hovering around the 61st spot.

Because among the remaining competitors still undergoing synthesis, if someone achieves a higher concentration, it directly means…

They will miss the next match.

Meanwhile, Tan Yue, who was slowly and meticulously working on the second stage of compressing the artificial crystal nucleus-synthesized embryo, was being watched closely by Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yizheng.

We're ready to begin compressing the second-to-last, or 13th, crystal core.

Off the field, Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong had been extremely anxious for the past half hour: "Why hasn't Xiaoyue come out yet? The top 61 have already been determined, sigh..."

Even half an hour later, they were still worried about Tan Yue.

"Although Xiaoyue didn't make it into the top 61 to advance, I don't think she should end up at the bottom of the rankings, right?"

What's going on? Old Chen, say something! Say something, please!

It seems that Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were worried about Tan Yue's ranking, while Lao Chen remained indifferent.

After all, both of them still believe that this is a competition where whoever comes out first is better.

That's why they were so worried about Tan Yue not coming out for so long.

That's only natural, but having learned from past mistakes, Old Chen was too lazy to explain to them anymore and decided to hand over this mess to Zhang Chaoqiang to handle.

No matter how much the two of them argued, Old Chen just shook his head and said he didn't know.

Watching Tan Yue's movements, although slow, she skillfully compressed pure spiritual energy into the embryo.

"Chaoqiang really has a knack for it, managing to train the usually careless Xiaoyue to be so meticulous... It doesn't matter if it's a little slow, at least she should be able to make it into the top 61!"

Old Chen thought to himself.

After all, he knew that the so-called top 31 was indeed a bit unlikely for Tan Yue, but being able to reach the top 61 already showed that she was no ordinary genius!

Something interesting happened soon after.

After the final quarter of an hour, Tan Yue finally succeeded in compressing the fourteenth pure spiritual energy into the artificial crystal core synthesis embryo.

Both Zhang Chaoqiang on the field and Tan Yue in the synthetic space breathed a sigh of relief…

However, the contestant currently ranked 61st turned ashen-faced when she saw Tan Yue emerge from the crowd…

"As the last contestant to emerge from the synthetic space, Tan Yue from Tianan City has shown us a new type of tactic!"

Although her speed was the slowest, the concentration of her artificial crystal cores was absolutely no less impressive, reaching a full 14!

Among all the contestants on the field.

The top 61, who will advance...

一共一名30枚浓度，一名18枚，12名17枚，16名15枚，25名14枚，6名13枚。

In reality, there are far more than just these 6 individuals who can reach a concentration of 13, but there are as many as 51, which is a great pity...

At the same concentration, additional criteria need to be added, such as whether the compression behavior in the second stage affects the microstructure of the artificial crystal nucleus synthesis embryo…

It caused some special damage effects, as well as some comprehensive judgment angles, etc.

Therefore, given that a total of 51 contestants achieved a concentration of 14...

In the end, only 6 people were able to advance.

As soon as Tan Yue emerged from the synthetic space, she immediately smiled at Zhang Chaoqiang, who was resting in the area next to the synthetic space.

Then Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei waved to Old Chen in the audience.

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei were still confused about what had happened. They clearly saw that Tan Yue's name had suddenly jumped to 55th place.

For a moment, they thought they had seen wrong and rubbed their eyes frantically. They clearly saw that Tan Yue was the last one to come out among the 122 contestants.
