When many contestants heard Pei Ku say that Ou Qianxie wanted to recruit another disciple, expressions of great anticipation suddenly appeared on their faces.
Only Ye Li didn't think there was anything wrong, because his purpose of coming here was not to become a weaponsmith. All he wanted was the Jiayi Linglong Pill.
More than half of the 210 contestants had the same idea as him, but among this group of people, only Ye Li passed the first two rounds of competition and entered the finals.
After all, most people who hold such ideas only have a superficial knowledge of drawing external symbols. A small number of people know a little more, but they are not as good as those who are determined to become weaponsmiths.
Pei Ku looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and was very satisfied. He smiled and nodded, saying, "You all hope to become Master's disciples, so you must show your best in the competition and let Master see your potential.
For contestants who are not accepted as our closed disciples, as long as you have demonstrated sufficient ability, we will accept you as our apprentices and you can also learn real skills in our foundry.
Besides my master, there are three other distinguished guests here to watch the competition today.
The person on the left is Senior An Changsheng, the Saint of Alchemy.
The man in the middle is the head of the Guan’s Chamber of Commerce and the boss of the Guan family, Zhongbao Guan.
And the last distinguished guest is Mr. Xue Ziping, an elder from the Imperial City of the Four Holy Lands…”
When Pei Ku introduced Xue Ziping, Dai Qingqing let out a light "eh", as if she had thought of something. After thinking for a while, she murmured softly, "Elder Xue Ziping, could it be the senior Xue Ziping who destroyed a city by himself and was known as the Master of Yin and Yang?"
Although Dai Qingqing spoke softly, Ye Li could hear it clearly. He knew what kind of strength it took for one person to destroy a city. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xue Ziping again.
Ye Li was filled with emotion, he really didn't expect that he could meet people from a holy place like the Imperial City. This long journey was really worth it.
After Pei Ku introduced the three people and said some polite words, he finally got to the point.
“Okay, now let’s talk about today’s competition method.
In a moment, the master will use the special talisman tool he has forged to simulate the nine attributes of the original runes for everyone.
Of course, this is not a real origin rune and its effect is limited, but after all, you are all at the level below the Lingdan stage, so this simulated origin of the nine attributes is still sufficient.
After you look at this origin rune, you should comprehend the origin rune of your own rune from it.
The origin of everyone's talisman is a nine-character symbol. It is impossible for you to comprehend all nine talismans now. At most, you can comprehend one or two complete talismans.
The final result of this competition is to see which one of you twenty-five has comprehended the most rune strokes.
Next, we will send you special paper. When you use rune ink to infuse spiritual energy and write, even if it is not a complete rune character, this special paper can still preserve the rune ink.
The rune strokes that each person comprehends from viewing the Nine Attributes Origin Runes are different, and only you can draw these runes, and others cannot copy them if they want to."
After hearing what Pei Ku said, one of the contestants suddenly said, "Master Ku, I have a question. I wonder if I can ask you?"
Pei Ku glanced at the contestant, nodded, and said, "Go ahead."
The contestant said, "Master, I only have one rune root. If everyone looks at the nine-attribute origin runes together, then the one with more rune roots will definitely comprehend more origin rune strokes of different attributes. Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage this way?"
Pei Ku nodded and said, "You are right, you will indeed suffer a lot.
But there is no way around it. When a person awakens his natal talisman, the more talisman roots that awaken, the better his talent will naturally be to some extent. This is an indisputable fact.
Therefore, people with more talisman roots will definitely have certain advantages in this competition.
However, this advantage is not absolute. After all, people with a single attribute will spend a lot of time in contact with this attribute, and their understanding of this attribute should be much better than those with multiple attributes. Then, you may be able to directly draw two runes or a few more strokes from the nine-attribute origin runes.
If a contestant with multiple attributes does not have a deep enough understanding of each attribute, then he may only comprehend a few strokes of each attribute, which together are not as many as your two strokes, so you still have a chance to win."
Pei Ku explained the key points to the contestant who asked the question, which was actually what he explained to everyone.
Ye Li also nodded silently. He himself was also a person with a single rune root. Although he now had an additional soul rune root, the origin runes he watched in this competition did not have the soul attribute. Therefore, for him, he was now in a relatively disadvantageous position.
After Pei Ku had explained everything that needed to be explained, he asked his apprentices to bring over a stack of yellow paper that was about the same size as the table top.
In terms of material, yellow paper is similar to ordinary talisman paper, but it is many times larger.
“This is our special talisman paper. Not only can you draw incomplete talismans on it, you can also draw runes of different attributes at the same time.
Of course, this is different from the external runes. These runes cannot be released. At most, they can only leave the rune ink full of spiritual energy on them so that it will not dissipate. "
Listening to Pei Ku's words, Ye Li spread the yellow paper neatly on the table in front of him. Just like yesterday, the talisman inkstone, talisman pen and talisman ink had been placed on the table in advance.
“Okay, I think everyone is ready, and now I will let Master activate a special talisman for you.
The competition will last for one hour. You must seize the time to watch and comprehend this origin rune that is a mixture of nine attributes.
Even if you don't win the game, this Origin Rune will be good for you, and will allow you to have a better understanding of the origin of power."
After hearing his words, all the contestants were ready for battle.
Pei Ku took a look and nodded with a smile, then turned and walked to Ou Qianxie and said, "Master, they should be ready."
Ou Qianxie also smiled and nodded, stood up, and walked to the front of the stage.
Looking at the people below the stage, he reached into his arms and took out a fist-sized object that looked like a crystal ball.
The surface of the crystal ball is not a smooth curved surface, but is composed of an unknown number of hexagonal faces, like a round honeycomb.
