When many candidates went on stage one after another, they were all defeated by that strange pen in about 20 seconds. After they left the stage with weak expressions, no one felt that this assessment was very simple anymore.
The examiners did not say that the contents of the examination could not be leaked—after all, it did not matter if the contents were leaked. Therefore, the Summoners who had finished the examination quickly explained the details to their companions.
News spread like wildfire. Soon, everyone knew that this assessment was a little strange.
More than a hundred people went in to complete the assessment in a row, but the best performance only left an arc and a straight line on the screen.
When everyone looked back now, they realized that Yu Fangyue, who had been mocked by them first, had already lasted quite a long time.
…
In a room outside the examination hall, the director of the Blue City Summoner Center was watching the situation on the screen through the surveillance cameras.
Most of the Summoner's poor performance was also expected by the candidates. The music in the examination room contained a special power that had a certain suppressing effect on the Summoner's mental strength.
Drawing a refining array was a job that required continuous output of mental strength. If one's mental strength was strong enough, they could basically ignore the interference of this voice, but for bronze-level Summoners, this requirement was indeed a challenge.
"This young man from No. 138 is doing okay," the chief said casually.
Indeed, all the candidates so far had only managed to complete one or two decent lines at most, but that young man from No. 138 was actually about to complete a decent refinement array.
Although he looked sweaty and drew the most basic practice array in the teaching materials, he was already the most outstanding one.
Someone quickly checked the candidate's information. "Candidate No. 138 is Duan Wu, the son of the finance director of the Blue City Summoner Center."
The chief nodded. He wasn't surprised.
Summoners with background would obtain more resources. It was not surprising that they would develop faster than their peers.
In a moment, the young man called Duan Wu really drew the pattern of the refinement array on the background board.
Although the movements were very slow and the drawing was a little crooked and ugly by ordinary standards, it was indeed a complete refining array.
Many examiners around also nodded slightly in affirmation of this young man's performance.
Only then would the examiners understand the difficulty of this examination.
Drawing the formation required maintaining the continuous output of mental strength. It was not easy to complete the entire formation under such interference.
The director watched in silence as the young man put down his sensor pen. Then, he turned to the secretary beside him and said, "Help me remember that Director Duan last mentioned that he wanted his son to participate in Blue City's Summoner's Star plan. We can leave a spot for him."
"Okay." The secretary immediately took notes.
…
"Candidate Number 139, You Chu."
Actually, You Chu did not have much confidence when he went on stage.
At this moment, most of the Summoner candidates had already concluded that this was a matter of mental strength.
However, You Chu thought that no matter what, it had only been a few days since he became a Summoner. Although his success rate in creating cards was extremely high and his mental strength grew very quickly, he could not withstand the short training time and his control ability was not enough.
To put it bluntly, life was not good enough.
You Chu entered the room and soon heard the music, too. The pressure from his pen hand was so great he could barely move.
It was expected. After all, his mental strength had only been tempered for a short period of time. He still had to improve in this aspect…
"A card creating formula that can be learned has been detected. Do you want to spend 150 Potential Points to learn it?"
You Chu: "?"
'Huh? Card making formula?'
'Is it here?'
You Chu was a little confused.
Right now, there was only a card making machine in front of him. The only thing he touched was the sensor pen used for drawing. Then, there was the strange music in the room. Where did this come from…
You Chu willed it.
Wait a minute, could it be… music?
In ancient times, there were heroes who could comprehend martial arts from music. Today, I listened to the BGM and printed the card on the spot. It makes sense, right?
Although he did not understand the principle behind it, there was really no formula that required more than 100 potential points to be consumed.
Logically speaking, the more potential points needed to be consumed, the higher the value.
You Chu still had 100 potential points left, which was not enough to consume. However, his reputation had already broken through four digits, so he still had surplus.
It was now or never. Although he did not know what was so mysterious about the music in the examination hall, if he missed this opportunity to learn, he might not have such an opportunity again.
He could earn more after using up his potential, but it would be meaningless if he did not use it when he needed to!
'I'll bloody study directly!'
You Chu directly used 500 Reputation Points to exchange for Potential Points and then consumed all the Potential Points that had just reached 150 points.
It was that sudden realization again, like a flash of lightning. His train of thought was instantly cleared.
Suddenly the sound no longer felt restless. The beat was suddenly clear and distinct, and it felt as if someone was whispering, sending some message through the language called music.
You Chu felt that he could understand such information.
He felt as if his hand had taken the initiative to pick up a pen. The sensor pen that had felt as heavy as lead earlier was now as light as if it weighed nothing.
The tip of the pen landed on the white background board. His arm moved gently, leaving an almost perfect arc!
The examiner's eyelids twitched.
This kid…
But You Chu had not stopped. Or rather, this was only the beginning.
He waved the sensor pen freely, leaving the line pen full of ink. The pen seemed to come alive and danced spontaneously on the background board.
He looked relaxed and at ease, each line drawn as if carefully measured and calculated.
The onlookers outside were stunned.
A few seconds ago, the candidates were still cheering for Duan Wu's performance. Many of them even felt that it might be the ceiling for all the candidates today.
He did not expect an even fiercer candidate to come!
Many people realized that the array drawn by this person under such pressure was even faster and better than what they usually drew in their own laboratories!
Moreover, looking at You Chu's calm appearance through the glass, he felt that he did not even sweat. It was a stark contrast to how they looked like they had broken down after persisting for 20 seconds.
Previously, the pen in their hands was extremely resistant. No matter how hard they tried, they would rather die than submit. The harder they resisted, the more ruthless they became.
Now that it was in You Chu's hands, the pen suddenly became extremely cooperative. Not only did it show no signs of disobedience, but it also seemed to take the initiative to move on its own.
It was very strange!
We're both bronze. How can you last so long?
And how strong was this person's mental strength?
Moreover, someone quickly discovered that no one present had ever seen You Chu drawing this refinement array on the background board. Moreover, it was completely different from the refinement array style that they were familiar with.
Not only them, but even the examiners in charge of the assessment frowned. They felt that they had never seen such a formation before.
In the surveillance room, the director watched the entire process of You Chu drawing the array in the image. He frowned for a while before turning his head and asking, "Who is this young man?"
