"Artifact Refining Master? Are you talking about yourself?" The old man sized up Fang Jueyu, "Young man, I reckon you're barely over a hundred years old? Getting a qualification certificate for an Artifact Refiner is already impressive, aren't you perhaps standing in for your teacher to register?"

It's no wonder the old man thought so. Those Artifact Refining Masters are all arrogant; lining up to register is beneath them. But there's no choice, as the organizers only accept on-site registrations, so many send their students instead.

"My teacher is coming, and I guarantee every single one of you here will be so weak in the knees that you won't be able to stand!"

"What big words!" The old man clearly didn't catch Fang Jueyu's drift. He assumed Fang Jueyu meant a regular teacher.

The weakest in this master's group are all Artifact Refining Masters. Some even approach the skill level of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster. To make them tremble, only an Artifact Refining Grandmaster could possibly achieve that.

He hadn't heard of any Artifact Refining Grandmaster taking on such a young student in centuries, clearly indicating this young man was just shooting his mouth off.

"Alright, you register, I'll register, let's not bother each other. If you rile me up, I really don't want to bully a senior. If you play the victim and blame me, I'll take a big loss!"

These Artifact Refiners are all so full of themselves, feeling superior to everyone. Fang Jueyu was worried that his temper might flare up, and he'd slap this old dog-headed person.

"Hmph! To register, you have to be capable. You say you're an Artifact Refining Master—do you have proof?" The old man looked at him and asked.

"Well..." Fang Jueyu indeed had no proof!

Although he just passed the exam, the Artifact Refining Master's badge and uniform aren't just anything, they must be custom-made by the Artifact Refiner Association. Even at their fastest, it would take a day or two to get to Fang Jueyu.

"Can't produce it, can you?" Seeing Fang Jueyu's awkward expression, the old man felt even more smug, "Young man, saving face isn't a bad thing, but overestimating yourself is your problem!"

Although there were no strict standards between the master's group and the rookie group, all participants in the master's group are seasoned Artifact Refiners who've lived for tens of thousands of years. How could young people, no matter how abnormal, compare?

This title of Artifact Refining Master is just conventional; those who don't meet the standard all naturally queue in the youth group, only there can they compete with others.

If they stubbornly insisted on participating in the master's group, it would only lead to self-humiliation.

"Whether I'm overestimating myself is my own business," Fang Jueyu, repeatedly ridiculed, could hardly suppress the primal power within him anymore. "But I guarantee, if you say one more word, I'll find a hundred big ladies to crush you tonight!"

"You..." The old man choked on his words, coughing heavily.

He was a renowned Artifact Refining Master for years, when did a junior ever threaten him like this?

"Teacher!" Just then, a young female voice came from the crowd watching the scene.

Hearing that voice, the old man's previously sullen face improved somewhat, with traces of pride and anticipation.

"Why does this voice sound so familiar?" Fang Jueyu turned towards the voice and saw it was the same girl who had just participated in the first-level Artifact Refiner exam with him!

"Hahaha, what a small world!" Fang Jueyu laughed, clearly understanding their relationship from the girl's term of address.

If he hadn't attended the exam today, with the power of this girl's flames, she would've had no trouble passing the Artifact Refiner exam. But it could only be said that she was unlucky.

"So, Hui Ya, did you pass the exam?" The old man was very pleased with his student. This time, he not only came to participate in the competition himself, but also wanted to show the world to his favorite student.

Hui Ya, just 125 years old, was the most outstanding among the old man's dozen or so students. The youngest of his other students hadn't passed the first-level Artifact Refiner exam until they were nearly 200 years old, whereas Hui Ya had long been capable of it, but she held off for safety's sake.

With Hui Ya's abilities, achieving a good rank was impossible, but she could definitely make an impression among Artifact Refiners!

"Sorry, Teacher, I embarrassed you." The girl hung her head in shame.

"How could that be?" The old man was surprised. With Hui Ya's skill, she should've had an over 80% chance of passing the Artifact Refiner exam even ten years ago.

"Teacher, it's complicated. I took the exam with a young man from the Shenhao Civilization named Wang Dachui. He summoned a terrifying Source Power flame that weakened mine significantly; I couldn't even complete the ore refining part."

"Is there such a thing?" The old man fell into deep thought. If this was true, that young man was incredibly fearsome. "Unexpectedly, the Shenhao Civilization has such a young Artifact Refining Master, it's unbelievable."

Hui Ya's flames were already much stronger than ordinary Source Power flames. To suppress her flames, ordinary Source Power flames would barely ignite!

"But it's alright, this was a special situation. I have another chance to take the exam tomorrow. I'm sure there will be no problem then!" The girl said confidently.

"You... why are you here?" Suddenly, Hui Ya noticed Fang Jueyu standing beside the old man. She never expected to encounter him here again.

"What? You two know each other?" the old man asked surprisedly.

"More or less met once," Fang Jueyu laughed.

The old man pulled the girl to his side, "Hui Ya, how many times has Teacher told you not to associate with dubious people. These people have no real skills, just big mouths. You're so naive; you'll get taken advantage of!"

"Teacher! Stop it!" Hui Ya quickly tugged at her teacher's clothes.

She still vividly remembered Fang Jueyu teaching those Transcenders a lesson. Although her teacher was an Artifact Refining Master, at most he was on the same level as Nuosang.

Having seen what happened to Nuosang after provoking Fang Jueyu, she knew even her teacher couldn't afford to provoke this monster, Fang Jueyu.

"Why are you pulling me? I'm not finished! Some people..."

"Teacher!" Hui Ya raised her voice, stopping the old man abruptly.

The old man looked at the girl in surprise. His student was always obedient and respected him greatly. Why was she acting this way today? Did failing today's exam affect her so much?

"Alright, you two take your time talking; I'll find another line." Regardless of everything, Fang Jueyu did interfere with her Artifact Refiner exam today, so this might be a form of compensation for Hui Ya. Otherwise, he definitely would've bullied an elder today.

Watching Fang Jueyu's leaving figure, Hui Ya finally breathed a small sigh of relief.

"Hui Ya, what's really going on? What happened between you two?" The old man instinctively felt something was off.

"Teacher!" Hui Ya smiled wryly, "He is Wang Dachui from the Shenhao Civilization!"
