Pillar of Yita

The deafening sound waves seemed to pass through a wall or come from another world, reaching from such a far distance.

However, compared to the uproar across the entire square, this small arena seemed exceptionally quiet.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, two judges carefully examined Fang Hong’s work—a dual-use Magic Guided Reactor in the arena, which couldn’t possibly be as large as a real one but was a simplified miniature.

Yet even so, it was still two to three meters in length and width, upright on the ground, resembling an olive-shaped cocoon. Due to the limited competition time, this giant Magic Guided Reactor was not encased, with the cobalt-blue multifaceted shape like a Rubik’s cube surrounded by various pipes and lines, exposed in front of everyone, emitting a charming gradient light.

The cooling pipes extending from the center, made of copper, gleamed like a luxurious labyrinth in the sunlight. Although scaled down proportionally, every detail was restored to reality, with no fundamental difference in structure and principle from a real Magic Guided Reactor.

In fact, if needed, it could even be directly activated—

One of the High Order Craftsmen walked under the giant, complex, honeycomb-like cooling system, raised his head with a look of shock, and asked Fang Hong: ”What is its efficiency?”

”About sixty percent or more, with heat dissipation efficiency not lower than fourteen, it can be used normally within the 440 range.” Fang Hong replied, ”Do you need me to demonstrate it to you?”

”No need,” the other waved a hand: ”Isn’t this system too complex?”

”No, the Magic Power guide is embedded within the cooling pipes, so the Guy Effect produced by the Magic Guided Reactor will also reduce part of this system’s weight.”

”But wouldn’t this affect the power of the Magic Guided Reactor itself?”

”No, the increase in heat dissipation efficiency will also further optimize the Magic Guided Reactor’s output.”

”This is the Roy Circuit,” the High Order Craftsman said with some surprise: ”Someone thought of this before, but aren’t you worried it might conflict with the Crystal Array below that generates the Guy Effect?”

”When in a high-energy state, doesn’t the Main Core Crystal automatically generate a Magic Power shielding effect? Using the Magic Power guide to bring out the Ether backflow to form a shield layer above and below, isn’t that one of the functions of the cooling system?”

Fang Hong thought for a moment, then pulled out this discarded design plan from the Type-One Crystal by Hain Famm. He carefully considered it and realized that this plan didn’t exceed the current understanding of Alchemy, but very few people would use such a complex method.

Yet it was precisely because it was too complex that it became an abandoned plan among Hain Famm’s many designs—

”Damn, there’s a way to do this—”

The craftsman couldn’t help but curse with an Earth-originating expletive.

He couldn’t resist raising his hand to gently stroke a row of golden pipes, his eyes like admiring a cherished piece of art, and praised: ”What a pity, it is still too complex, which makes this plan lack some practicality.”

But when he turned back, his eyes were full of approval as he looked at Fang Hong: ”But there’s no problem with this line of thinking, this is undoubtedly the idea of a genius. You can completely continue to delve further into it, and one day I expect to hear your name in this domain.”

This was quite a high praise.

”By the way, what’s your name?” he asked again.

”Ade.”

”The same name as that Great Alchemist,” the High Order Craftsman nodded: ”Not bad.”

Just as the two were talking, another judge came over, pointed at the cobalt-blue Crystal Magic Guide, and asked: ”What is the purification level of the Main Core Crystal?”

Fang Hong heard the aggressiveness in the other’s tone.

”Ninety point three percent.”

”You’re lying,” the person replied: ”With purification at ninety point three percent, what level are you? Below Level 25, neither of the two Types of Ether Knowledge can purify a Crystal beyond ninety percent, unless—”

He paused, staring into Fang Hong’s eyes: ”You cheated.”

Fang Hong was slightly stunned.

He was clearly a bit annoyed by such an indiscriminate questioning, just glanced at the other person.

But he suddenly calmed down, realizing it might be a trap, so he rationally replied: ”Just because others can’t achieve it, doesn’t mean I can’t.”

The other sneered, thinking he had succeeded: ”Then why don’t you demonstrate it?”

The High Order Craftsman looked at his colleague and couldn’t help but frown.

In the live broadcast room, since other contestants hadn’t finished their creations yet, more and more people were paying attention to the commotion at the southwest arena—

However, because the distance was too far, people couldn’t hear the conversation between the judges and Fang Hong, only seeing one of the judges aggressively engaging in a question-and-answer with Fang Hong. The other gestured exaggeratedly, looking quite confrontational.

”What are they doing?”

”Checked it for so long, why haven’t they scored yet?”

”What score, it’s probably Ragnarok’s contestant showing off, isn’t it immediately exposed?”

At this point, an ID called ’Lan Mengmeng’ emerged, angrily saying: ”What gives you the right to say that!?”

”Isn’t it obvious, who does he think he is? Don’t even say compare to Rolin, what makes him faster than Vikki?”

”Why can’t he be faster than Vikki?”

”Heh, doesn’t everyone know the level of the domestic scene in these two years? Being wiped clean by the Ancient Tower People in the main competition, no progress, just thinking about using these little tricks in exhibition matches?”
