Chapter 838: Can I Take the Highest-Level Exam Directly?



"Does a tiger go cat just because he doesn't roar? Do you think I'm on my deathbed?" Fang Jueyu stormed into the splendid building, clearly still brooding over the security guard's earlier behavior.

However, it seemed that those who could enter this Artifact Refiner Guild were either Artifact Refiners or members of the upper echelons of cosmic civilization, so the reception staff inside were very warm and polite.

"Sir, what business do you need to handle?" A sweet-looking girl from the Cameel civilization approached, her eyes involuntarily glancing at Ergouzi and Xiao Hei.

"Yet another person mimicking the Divine Tycoon civilization!" she muttered to herself. But seeing the breed of Xiao Hei and Ergouzi, which were extremely high-priced on the current market, she guessed this young man must be extraordinary and decided to give him the best reception.

"Our Artifact Refiner Guild offers services such as certificate exams, Artifact Refiner recruitment, material acquisition, and more. You can tell me your needs."

"Oh, I'm here for a certification exam, where do I sign up?" Fang Jueyu asked.

"Alright, sir, please follow me!" The girl led Fang Jueyu down a corridor.

Her gaze shifted from Ergouzi and Xiao Hei to Fang Jueyu. For someone so young to be eligible for an Artifact Refiner assessment, he had to be a promising young talent trained by a master.

They walked through a long corridor and entered another hall bustling with activity, with many people wearing uniforms bearing the Artifact Refiner Guild insignia.

"Host, these are all certified Artifact Refiners," Xiao Yi said, "The bronze insignia denotes a First-level Artifact Refiner, capable of forging weapons for Hidden Elementers, a step beyond mere scrap metal."

"The silver insignia is for Second-level Artifact Refiners, who can forge second-grade weapons for Hidden Elementers, and the gold is for Third-level Artifact Refiners, who can forge third-grade weapons for Divine Ability Users."

"The crystal insignia signifies Fourth-level Artifact Refiners, reaching the Artifact Refining Master standard, able to craft fourth-grade weapons for Controllers, holding an even higher status in the universe than Controllers."

"The purple insignia is for Fifth-level Artifact Refiners, who can forge weapons for Transcenders, but across the entire universe, their numbers don't exceed 1 million!"

While 1 million sounds like a lot, dispersed across the universe, they're as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

As for the top Grandmaster-level Artifact Refiners, they can forge the legendary Demigod weapons, and their insignia is red. However, within the entire Artifact Refiner Guild, there are fewer than 10 such individuals, all key figures within the guild.

Fang Jueyu nodded, gaining a general understanding of the Artifact Refiner Guild just as the girl led him to a counter.

Behind the counter stood an elderly man, about a Sixth-stage Divine Ability User by power, wearing a gold insignia, indicating he was a Third-level Artifact Refiner.

"This is Master Pardu, whose skill is nearly at the Artifact Refining Master level," the girl introduced.

"Master Pardu, this young man wants to take today's Artifact Refiner examination."

Standing by the counter were four others, roughly at the Source Energy User level, aged 200 to 300, each sporting an arrogant look as if the world owed them 250 bucks.

"Oh? Another one?" The old man chuckled, glancing at Fang Jueyu, "Not even a hundred yet, are you sure you're here to take the exam, young fella?"

Typically, to qualify as an Artifact Refiner, one must reach the Source Energy User level and practice for over a century before even having a chance at crafting a genuine First-grade Weapon.

The difficulty of Artifact Refining is no less than that of Pupil Skill and Alchemy Technique, and both Alchemy Technique and Artifact Refining Technique share the common need to master fire.

This fire isn't just any common flame, but flames condensed from Cosmic Source Power or some exceptionally unique natural flames harnessed by humans.

Controlling this fire alone, without inherently powerful Power of Soul, requires decades of dedicated study for any success.

To date, the youngest recorded Artifact Refiner was about 67 years old, and under 100, the number of Artifact Refiners doesn't exceed 100,000 — all unequivocal geniuses.

"Sir, I'm here for the exam."

"Alright!" The old man chuckled; maybe he did encounter a genius today?

"Let me first register your personal information. What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Wang Dachui, from Divine Tycoon civilization!"

"Wang Dachui, Divine..." The old man was writing when he suddenly looked up, and even the other young candidates couldn't help but turn their eyes towards him.

People from the Divine Tycoon civilization are absolute focal points anywhere they go!

"Young man, are you really from the Divine Tycoon civilization? This isn't something to joke about!"

"Oh, I'm the captain of the TF Fathers from the Divine Tycoon civilization's Men's Group. If you don't believe me, you can ask Fang Jueyu!"

Hearing that name, everyone shuddered. They hadn't heard of Wang Dachui, nor the TF Fathers, but the men's group from the Divine Tycoon civilization and Fang Jueyu were renowned.

"Go ahead and write it. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

"Alright then!" The old man could only write Fang Jueyu's details, still filled with doubts about his origins, wishing he could ask the Divine Tycoon civilization's Fang Jueyu, but would they even see him?

"Do you have a teacher?" The old man continued to ask.

"A teacher? Oh, my teacher is called Kishi Aino, maybe you haven't heard of her."

"Kishi Aino?" The old man pondered for a moment, unable to recall any Artifact Refining Master by that name.

"In our Divine Tycoon civilization, my teacher is quite renowned, having left many timeless masterpieces. Though retired now, she still has a profound influence on us young folks."

"If he truly hails from the Divine Tycoon civilization, this Kishi Aino teacher must be something special." Despite his anxiety, the old man noted the name down.

"Alright everyone, gather around!" The old man assembled all the exam candidates, with each examiner overseeing five candidates — they were just the right number.

The five gathered, but the other candidates kept stealing glances at Fang Jueyu.

"First, let me explain the format of the First-level Artifact Refiner examination. You will use the standardized materials and tools we provide..."

"Excuse me, may I interrupt for a moment?" Fang Jueyu politely said.

"Wang Dachui, do you have any questions?"

"Is this the First-level Artifact Refiner exam?"

"Of course, do you expect to take a higher-level test at your age?" the old man chuckled.

"Do the Artifact Refiner exams have to be taken one level at a time?" Fang Jueyu frowned. He recalled that to enter the master's level, one needed at least a Fourth-level Artifact Refiner rank, and he didn't have the time to climb level by level.

"There's no such rule; as long as your skill is sufficient, you can even directly take the Grandmaster-level Artifact Refiner exam."

"That makes it much easier," Fang Jueyu smiled slightly, "Sir, can I take the highest level exam straight away?"
