Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 62 This is the starting stance of the Heavenly Heart and Earthly Refining technique; he is the inheritor of Ou Yezi!

At this moment, the entire live stream camera focused on Qin Feng, the player who had "won half a move against Heaven." 🎄🐼 ➅9s卄ùx.ČόΜ 😾🐟

After all, for media professionals, conducting experiments is far more eye-catching and generates more traffic than creating exam papers!

Especially since the person conducting the experiment was a disciple of the Strategist school who could die but couldn't be without work.

If you focus the camera on [Yi Sheng] or [Hao Ran Zhen Xian], your live stream will only be so-so. But if you focus it on [Sheng Tian Ban Zi], he'll show you what the ultimate in comedic talent is all about!

On the live stream screen, the beautiful director, dressed in a classic and elegant long dress, began her enthusiastic introduction.

"Hello everyone, this is Xianyang Evening News, I'm your old friend Duan Jiayu!"

"Let's switch the camera to the strategist disciple, 'Sheng Tian Ban Zi'! The competition has only been going on for less than a second, and he's already finished submitting his paper and started his experiment. You can see... wait! I can't see 'Sheng Tian Ban Zi' anymore. Could someone in the backstage area please check if we're using 10x speed? Slow down the pace!"

"Even without using 10x speed, Qin Feng's speed is just this fast!"

"Then slow it down, drive ten times slower!"

"Still can't see clearly even at 10x speed, so I'll slow it down 50x! 60x! 80x! Okay, finally it's normal!"

"Today's science exam practical experiment topic is 'A Brief Analysis of Classical Mecha.' Participants can choose to design an experiment on a key classical mecha component, focusing on aspects such as architecture, firepower, engine, spatial positioning, and algorithms. The experiment must be completed independently, without any external assistance!"

"As you can see, Young Hero Qin Feng is happily purchasing materials. It's clear that he's well-prepared. He has already completed the draft in his mind, has a clear goal and a complete plan, which is why he can go straight to the materials area to select materials as soon as he enters the venue."

"From the perspective of the rigor of scientific experiments, every piece of material determines the success rate of forging, and the proportion of materials is a major aspect of materials science! Therefore, you can see that the Qin official has prepared a variety of precision material weighing tools for the contestants! Wait! It seems that Qin Feng didn't go to get the weighing tools; he directly took the largest material basket! Wait, not one, but nine! Four in one hand and one on his head!"

"Ahem! It's hard to believe that this scene is for selecting materials in an experiment. Young Master Qin Feng's behavior of carrying four of the largest material buckets in both hands and balancing a bucket on his head looks more like that of someone going to a wholesale market to buy goods."

"I apologize for using such vulgar language to describe a prestigious national science exam, but the facts speak for themselves."

"He's starting to shovel materials now. The force and movements he uses to shovel are consistent with his character's two thousand Qi and Blood. His immense strength makes one wonder if he trains his body just so he can one day come here and shovel materials like a wholesale supplier!"

"The extremely rare Star Sea Sand, which costs six figures per gram on the market and is often unavailable, has now been purchased by our young hero Qin Feng, who has taken six baskets, totaling 1200 kg!"

"[Rare] Dragon Vein Gold, it is said that it can only be formed when the dragon vein energy of a lost world fuses with star dust under extremely low probability. It is rarely seen on the market, even once every few decades. He took three baskets, 600KG!"

"The rarest Taibai Refined Gold is said to have been obtained by Prince Fusu when he came of age. Prince Fusu was overjoyed and has now obtained 50KG. Of course, 50KG is not his limit, but his current reserves are exhausted. He has already issued an emergency request for supplies to the national treasury."

"In addition, there are also [Rare] Thundercloud Amethyst, Nirvana Crimson Jade, Black Hole Bloodstone, Five-Colored Star Tear, Nine-Colored Immortal Gold, Particle Vibranium, Giant Beast Star Core..."

"Young Master Qin Feng isn't just taking materials with each basket he collects; he's carrying away the entire annual GDP of a great Qin city! He's not just carrying away minerals, he's carrying away the national strength of Qin!"

"Indeed! Even so, our Great Qin can still afford it! In ancient times, there was the story of spending a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones; today, Great Qin is using the entire nation's resources to seek out talented individuals..."

On the live stream, Qin Feng tirelessly loaded, transported, and unloaded goods, basket after basket.

Soon, the small compartments of the material platform in front of Qin Feng's test site were filled with all sorts of materials!

The materials were piled up like small mountains, the worst being of superior earth grade, and the best being of the [Premium] series.

At this moment, not only was the female commentator Jia Yu emotionally overwhelmed and unable to extricate herself, but even Prince Fusu of Qin was trembling violently with his hands hidden in his sleeves.

There was already a heated discussion around Fusu.

"Young master, we must stop this kid from moving any more materials! Everyone else uses materials in moderation, but he's picking the expensive ones! He doesn't act like he's part of the group at all!"

"My lord, you must not stop us! In the seventeen times we have held the Qin Imperial Examination, we have never prevented any candidate from obtaining the materials. Now that His Majesty is a man of great talent and ambition, if such a thing were to happen, we would surely be ridiculed by the other six states for being petty, and all our righteous deeds and good reputation from the previous seventeen examinations would be ruined!"

"Young Master, if we don't stop him, this brat might empty our national treasury! Don't forget, he's a human with two thousand health points; he truly has the ability to empty the national treasury's rarest materials section!"

"My lord, we mustn't stop him! If we do, what will become of His Majesty's dignity? What will become of your generosity? How will our Great Qin have the face to tell the world of His Majesty's generosity? Besides, this man is a strategist. You know how foul-mouthed strategists are; they know absolutely no restraint. If we interfere, they'll spread rumors relentlessly. We've already lost so many materials; what harm is there in giving him a little more? Even if we use all [Rare] materials to build a mecha, it will only cost our Great Qin ten years' worth of effort!"

"Ten years of hard work, ten years of national reserves, squandered by one person—that's a complete waste!"

"Whether it's a waste or not depends on the results of his experiment. Since the results are uncertain and anything could turn out unexpectedly, it can't be called a waste! It's better to wait until we have the results before convicting him!"

Prince Fusu pressed one hand to his temple, his face no longer showing the gentle warmth he had when he first arrived; he was filled with a mixture of worry and distress.

If he stopped Qin Feng, he would lose the prestige of Qin, and he would certainly not be able to explain it to his father.

But if we don't stop him and let him move it, the national treasury will be in deficit for ten years, and my father won't let me off the hook.

Now, there's only one possibility that my father will let me go: if this kid pulls off a big project, and it's a huge success!

Fusu spoke up, "Quiet! The ancestral laws cannot be changed! Since we have promised unlimited supplies for the advanced examination halls, we cannot go back on our word! Everyone, please sit down and observe the situation!"

The scholars all took their seats. Just then, a voice came from outside the door, "Welcome, Master Gongshu Ban, President of the Great Qin Scientific Association!"

Upon hearing this, Fusu was overjoyed and got up to greet him.

A gaunt old man, about two meters tall, strolled towards us.

His eyes shone brightly, and he wore a strange black robe with white patterns. His withered face was serious and indifferent. Even when facing Prince Fusu, he did not smile. He simply cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Prince."

Fusu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Master Gongshu would have time to observe the science exam today. Please prepare a seat for Master Gongshu!"

Gongshu Ban said, "The experiment has come to an end. I was just passing by, so I thought I'd come and take a look."

Even Fusu dared not be negligent in the face of a master craftsman like Lu Ban.

Fusu and Gongshu Ban sat side by side, their attitude as friendly as that of juniors. Fusu kept pointing at Qin Feng on the holographic projection and said, "Mr. Gongshu, look, this man has taken so many materials, what exactly does he want to do?"

Gongshu Ban's eyes gleamed. He only glanced at Qin Feng's material section before discerning something: "This kid is ambitious!"

Fusu asked, "How so?"

Gongshu Ban said, "Young master, look, he took the most Star Sea Sand. Normally, the most commonly used material for forging mechs is cold iron, or at the very least, hundred-refined star iron. Star Sea Sand is the closest to iron in terms of metallic properties, and it also has ductility, flexibility, and conductivity that cold iron and star iron lack! Even a swordsmith like myself would only use a little of this precious material in the critical parts of forging mechs. But now, in the high school entrance examination, materials are supplied without limit by the national treasury. As a result, this kid has a very bold idea: to abandon basic mech materials like cold iron and use Star Sea Sand directly as the base material!"

Fusu then asked, "In Mr. Gongshu's opinion, what part of the mecha does he intend to forge?"

Gongshu Ban's eyes swept over the materials, and he read aloud, "He's not forging a single mecha component; he's forging a complete mecha!"

Fusu was stunned, and all the doctors in the room looked at Gongshu Ban. ♠♟ ➅9şĤ𝐮ⓧ.𝕔Ｏм 🍩😂

Building a complete mecha—what does that mean? Others might not know, but everyone here is a science whiz, so we all know!

A complete classic mecha requires a research institute with dozens of people, a deluxe supercomputer, several years of verification experiments, and various tedious engineering projects. Saying it takes ten years to forge a sword is considered fast!

Some classic mechs even require decades to develop and refine! And there's no guarantee of success!

The high production difficulty and high combat value of classic mechs make them extremely rare and hard to find!

The swordsmith who can independently design, manufacture, and assemble the sword is truly the darling of the classic mecha school!

At this moment, Gongshu Ban noticed the gazes of his peers and coldly said, "You may doubt my words, but I am only stating the facts. I personally have no interest in strategists or the 'Half a Piece Against Heaven' strategy; I am only interested in the techniques."

Everyone averted their gaze and began to evade the question, saying, "Please don't be offended, Mr. Gongshu. We have no doubt that you are speaking up for Qin Feng."

"The Qin state has witnessed the integrity of Master Gongshu; no one would doubt him!"

"But Mr. Gongshu claims he forged the mecha all by himself. Is that even possible?"

Gongshu Ban looked at the holographic projection with a calm expression. "Whether it's possible or not, we'll soon know!"

On the screen, Qin Feng had already moved all the materials to his material loading platform and was about to begin smelting!

The smelting used in the national civil service examination is done using natural subterranean sparks at temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees Celsius!

This type of flame was reserved for use only by the highest-ranking institutions of the Qin Dynasty.

It is important to understand that the planets in the new universe were formed after the breakup of the former supercontinent. Therefore, each planet contains some of the destiny of the former supercontinent plates, and the Starfire contains this destiny. The destiny is limited, and any act of taking the Starfire will result in the execution of the entire family at best, and the extermination of nine generations at worst!

Faced with such a blazing super furnace, once the material enters, it will immediately melt and take shape at an extremely fast speed, requiring very little reaction time!

To judge a true swordsmith's skill, you only need to observe his method of melting materials to determine whether he is a complete novice or a true master!

In front of the screen, everyone stared intently at Qin Feng, the "Half a Move Against Heaven." If Qin Feng's methods were sloppy, then without a doubt, what awaited him next was the Qin Dynasty's demands for compensation and a lifetime in jail!

If his technique is superb, then... impossible! Nobody believes a strategist could forge such a weapon!

Qin Feng walked to the front of the super melting tower and stood in the observer's position. On the control panel in front of him were buttons, the size of which could be adjusted to add different proportions of materials.

Next to the button, there was a glass ball, from which a faint halo of light emanated.

This glass ball is not available at the Dragon City Smelting Plant; it was previously mentioned in textbooks as the "All-Encompassing Ball."

This sphere can condense and amplify the blacksmith's thoughts and mental energy, making it easier for the forged materials to be melted and refined according to the blacksmith's intentions.

Qin Feng placed his left hand on the elephant ball, pressed the Starry Sea Sand button with his right hand, and then suddenly turned it to the last position! All the Starry Sea Sand was thrown into the Starfire Furnace!

Even faster, Qin Feng's five fingers moved like lightning, frantically tapping on the material buttons, sometimes tapping a third, sometimes a quarter, and sometimes all of them!

Materials poured into the Starfire Furnace in a frenzy, while on the Sphere in the left hand, a rough, ancient classical mecha shape began to take shape!

Even a fool could see what Qin Feng was up to after seeing this.

On the live TV screen, Miss Jiayu, abandoning all pretense of ladylike decorum, couldn't help but scream, "Oh my god! He's forging a mecha! A complete mecha!"

"I can't believe that one person would actually build a classic mecha!"

"Even the most basic, original model of a classic mecha requires ten years of dedicated work to perfect, and he's going to do it all by himself! Can he really do it in just three days?"

"Thirty-five minutes have passed since the start of the exam! While all the other students are still furiously writing their science papers, our young hero Qin Feng has already begun crafting his mecha!"

"I don't know if young hero Qin Feng can successfully build the mecha, but if he does, he will become the most talented science student in history, a genius who single-handedly built a mecha in front of billions of viewers!"

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Just as Qin Feng began frantically dumping materials into the office, no one dared to breathe loudly in the national civil service examination command center.

To the untrained eye, Qin Feng's maneuvers only appeared to be flashy and gimmicky.

However, to insiders, Qin Feng's actions were nothing short of dancing on a knife's edge, a fancy way of courting death!

At this moment, one of the doctors finally couldn't hold back any longer. "I've produced at least ten classic mechs! I've never seen a smelting method that directly delivers more than two types of materials at once!"

"You should know that once each material enters, it will connect with the mind and spirit. Then the mind and spirit will manipulate the sphere to simulate its form and infuse it with the power of will, giving it life."

"We ordinary people can only forge one material at a time, but this kid seems to have no limit. With one slap, thirteen buttons are pressed simultaneously, multitasking like a supercomputer?"

The doctor beside him said, "Even for a supercomputer, multitasking like this is an overclocking phenomenon. The consequence of multitasking is that you have to pay attention to the temperature and even the state of each material. You don't have to monitor dozens of data points, you have to monitor thousands! I can only observe thirty data points at most, and that's already been rated as excellent. How did he manage to observe more than a thousand?"

Prince Fusu was completely bewildered by the words of the powerful figures. He looked at Gongshu Ban with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mr. Gongshu, what's your opinion?"

Gongshu Ban looked at Qin Feng with a strange glint in his eyes. "Using thirteen functions at once isn't his limit. Don't forget he also has one hand on the Myriad Manifestations Sphere! If he uses both hands, he can use at least fifty, even a hundred functions at once! His brain can calculate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of parallel data points and accurately make dozens of formatted peer process judgments. This person's brainpower far surpasses that of ordinary people. His brain development level is definitely higher than all of us here! I estimate that his brain development level is at least eighteen percent, or even twenty percent!"

Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar. Twenty percent? How could that be possible!

However, Gongshu Ban added, "The intensity of brain development is one aspect, but the most important thing is his technique. The key lies in the strength, sequence, and mental transmission methods he uses during the forging process!"

"A skilled blacksmith, even without relying on the All-Encompassing Sphere, can use their mental power to control the materials in the furnace, shaping and combining them!"

"He could have done it easily, but after discovering that the Omnisphere was more convenient, he abandoned using that set of Furnace Fire Spiritual Power!"

Fusu seemed to understand something. "What you mean, sir, is that this kid's trump card hasn't been revealed yet!"

Gongshu Ban said calmly, "Don't rush, he'll be exposed! Because the Myriad Manifestations Sphere has its limits, but the human heart has no limits. A true swordsmith who understands the art of refining the heart wouldn't even look at a tool like the Myriad Manifestations Sphere!"

Sure enough, just as Gongshu Ban finished speaking, Qin Feng on the screen frowned and suddenly exerted force with his left hand on the sphere!

The sphere shattered completely, turning into dazzling shards of glass that shot in all directions!

Amidst the glittering shards of glass, the young man pushed with both hands, throwing all the materials in front of him into the furnace!

Fusu exclaimed in surprise, "Master Gongshu, you are truly a prophet! He really didn't need to! He just put all the ingredients in at once, which is probably more than three hundred kinds! Can he control it?"

In the center of the holographic projection screen, Qin Feng raised his hands, left palm facing the sky and right palm facing the ground, his eyes closed, his bones cracking and making crisp sounds. Soon, a head of blood-red long hair replaced his neat black short hair, his upper body clothes were blown to shreds, and a six-meter-tall true body of qi and blood appeared in front of everyone. His wild muscles like a coiled dragon and the "De" character ghost back gave people a dreamlike sense of emptiness.

Is he a swordsmith? Or a warrior here to fight?

"Hahaha!" The stern and cold Gongshu Ban stood up and laughed loudly, "He's finally using his true skills! One hand reaching to the sky, the other pressing down on the ground—isn't that the starting stance of the Heavenly Heart and Earthly Refining Technique!"

When Gongshu Ban uttered the opening move of "Heavenly Heart and Earthly Refinement," the expressions of everyone present changed drastically!

"So he got his hands on that thing!"

"I should have realized this sooner. To be able to throw in hundreds of materials at once and still have the energy to manipulate them—no one but the cultivator of that thing could do that!"

"If we already get first place in humanities, and continue to get first place in science, and then get first place in martial arts, then the last perfect sage of the School of Diplomacy will be born!"

All the doctors looked fearful and uneasy.

Only Fusu was completely baffled. He shamelessly asked, "Master Gongshu, what exactly is this thing you're talking about?"

Gongshu smiled slightly, "Does the young master know about the [Divine Forging Manual]?"

Fusu suddenly realized, "The [Forging Divine Chart] is the forging secret technique passed down by Ou Yezi? Wasn't that secret technique lost? During the great war between Qin and Chu, the Chu princess was buried in Longcheng. Later, the kings of Qin went to Longcheng to search for her, but she was nowhere to be found."

Gongshu Ban said, "Your Majesty once inquired of the Yin-Yang School's Shao Siming at a royal banquet about the whereabouts of this item. Shao Siming smiled and said, 'One day, a chivalrous hero from Longcheng will bring this item to Xianyang and present it to Your Majesty! All the treasures in this world will belong to Your Majesty!'"

"Now it seems that Shao Siming's prophecy was incredibly accurate!"

"He is a chivalrous hero of Dragon City, and also possesses the [Forging Divine Manual]. This very first hand gesture, the Heavenly Heart and Earthly Refinement Hand Gesture, has already proven that he has perfectly inherited Ou Yezi's forging skills. He has even boldly improved upon Ou Yezi's foundation of forging traditional weapons and famous swords instead of mechs, and has begun to build mechs. I am very much looking forward to seeing whether the mechs forged by this young man who has inherited Ou Yezi's forging skills will be as top-notch as Ou Yezi's eight famous swords!"

Fusu was about to speak when a court official hurried over and whispered a few words in Fusu's ear.

Fusu immediately stood up and said apologetically, "Mr. Gongshu, I have some urgent matters to attend to. Please stay here for a while."

Gongshu Ban laughed and said, "Young master, please go ahead and do your work. I'll take care of things here, so don't worry!"

Fusu bowed, then hurriedly led the Minister of Justice out.
