Pillar of Yita

The raw material is a rather large piece of cobalt blue calcite.

However, Fang Hong didn’t follow the others in having the staff place the calcite into the Magic Furnace.

He didn’t even engrave arrays on the calcite like Rolin did.

In fact, he merely walked up to the calcite, looked around a bit, and then casually pressed it with a hand—next moment, seven faint silver lights instantly flickered across the calcite.

Seven parallel processes.

Fang Hong did a quick calculation in his mind, it should be enough, he needs to save some calculative power to refine the crystal structure. Regarding the shipboard magic guided furnace, he had learned quite a bit in the Hall of Thousand Doors, and from Ande.

More importantly, he had a profound understanding of crystals—

At this level, no one probably knew the properties of a Main Core Crystal better than him.

...

”What the hell?”

A moment later, someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

The wandering horse, too, subconsciously rubbed its eyes to confirm it wasn’t seeing things—

On the southwest square, many spectators with a craftsman background had already squeezed to the front. Among the tumultuous crowd, many were staring dumbfounded at the scene unfolding in front of them.

On the stage, Cui Yu, Mulan, Dill, and even Soul Fingerprint all stood up from their positions almost simultaneously. Only Hawk-Beak Bean was a moment slower, knocking over his chair as he rose.

He gaped in disbelief at the actions of Fang Hong:

”This... this...?”

”I’ve seen this somewhere,” Mulan said, as if electrified, suddenly opening her Summoners System: ”Wait, this is...”

”Multiple parallel...” Soul Fingerprint murmured in response.

”Ah, I remembered!” Mulan’s voice trembled: ”Now I know why it seemed so familiar, we did watch Ade’s competition before...”

”He is...”

Amid the crowd.

The craftsmen of Elpaxin were jumping for joy, celebrating enthusiastically.

”It’s really him!”

Not far away, Su Changfeng simply shook his head while watching the scene. He put away his Communication Crystal, casually slipped his hands into his pockets, and watched quietly.

There was an air of calm indifference in his eyes.

The ripple of excitement spreading across the square even caught the attention of the alchemists in the stands. The grand artificers of the Elfendo Council looked curiously in that direction, unable to discern what was happening for a moment.

And it was only moments later that a staff member, as if having seen a ghost, rushed over.

”Over there...”

”Over there is...”

The staff member gaped, at a loss for words to describe it.

The bustling noise finally caught Rolin’s attention. However, the young man just glanced sideways, soon shifting his gaze back. The basic structure of the dual-use magic guided reactor had already been completed.

All that was left was to properly process the Main Core Crystal, then the work would be considered complete.

He assessed it in his mind, estimating a score of 97 for himself.

Perfect.

But such an achievement no longer concerned him. He was about to gently ring the bell on the table, signaling the staff to prepare for the next phase. But just at that moment, he suddenly heard a calm voice coming from the other side of the stage:

”Judge, I’ve completed.”

The voice wasn’t loud, but the words were clear.

It came from the southwestern arena.

Rolin’s hand almost trembled.
