CH 122.2

“Next, if I could please have the candidates with the numbers five and six…”

Yuan KaiJi took a deep breath and stood up with another candidate.

“Teacher Yuan, you’ve got this!” Lin Luo whispered to Yuan KaiJi to cheer on.

Yuan KaiJi smiled a little stiffly, but calmly nodded towards Lin Luo before he followed the footsteps of the staff member to the second floor.

Seeing that so many seniors had failed, Gu QiuYang was somewhat nervous. Meanwhile, Lin Luo, whom he regarded as his opponent, didn’t show any tension at all. Instead, he leaned against the wall in a very leisurely manner and idly played around on his light brain.

Gu QiuYang narrowed his eyes as he watched the relaxed Lin Luo and clenched his teeth secretly.

Hmph, I wonder if he can continue to maintain this level of ease when his assessment begins shortly?!

Sadly, Yuan KaiJi also didn’t have very good luck in his assessment. The purity of the element liquid he finally extracted was 58.2%, which almost reached the targeted 60%. The rules though were firm, and it was impossible for the proctors to adopt rounding or other such methods, so he still failed to pass.

It was a pity… it was only just a little bit short…

Yuan KaiJi left the Energy Administration somewhat disappointed.

“Next, if I could please have the candidates with the numbers seven and eight…”

Finally, it was Gu QiuYang and Lin Luo’s turn. They were the two youngest candidates in the audience, so of course they would arouse the attention of many people.

The two followed the staff member upstairs and were guided into the assessment room together.

Lin Luo found that the room for this examination was much larger than the previous one. There were four examiners all sitting on the opposite side of a long table. They all wore the same silver-gray uniforms and golden thorn badges on their chests, which represented that they were all distinguished as senior energy engineers.

One of the masters happened to be an examiner who had previously tested Lin Luo for the energy engineer qualification assessment. Lin Luo remembered his surname as Miao.

“Please sit down.”

Lin Luo and Gu QiuYang sat down together.

“Please introduce yourself one at a time.” An examiner said.

Lin Luo didn’t expect the assessment process to be like this, so he momentarily wasn’t sure how to introduce herself. Meanwhile, Gu QiuYang obviously had experience. At this time, he smiled calmly and said, “My name is Gu QiuYang. I am 35 years old this year, and I awakened my mental ability when I was 24 years old. Additionally it’s been two years since I first became a mid-rank energy engineer, and I’ve participated in the senior energy engineer level assessment twice with the highest score being a 57.2%.”

The examiners nodded slightly, and then looked at Lin Luo again.

Lin Luo followed the example of Gu QiuYang’s self-introduction and said, “My name is Lin Luo. I am 21 years old this year, and I awakened my mental ability almost half a year ago. I’ve been a mid-rank energy engineer for a month, but I haven’t participated in any senior energy engineer level assessments before. My last assessment result was 50.3%.”

As soon as Lin Luo’s words fell, not to mention Gu QiuYang, but the faces of all the examiners showed surprised expressions.

He already became an intermediate energy engineer in just half a year, and now he was going to directly take the senior energy engineer level assessment?

“Ha ha ha, I remember you, I remember you!” Master Miao also recognized him at this time, “I was the one back then who gave you the recommendation to go straight to mid-rank.”

“Yes, thanks to Master Miao.”

“No no no, it’s you who are outstanding.” Master Miao was very optimistic about Lin Luo, and quickly told his colleagues about the events of that day, focusing on the fact that he was very optimistic about Lin Luo’s potential.

“But to come to take the test for senior energy engineer in such a short time, isn’t it a bit too flippant?” An examiner couldn’t help but ask.

Although there would seem to be little difference between 50% and 60%, for energy engineers the distance was more like a vast chasm in that it was very difficult to cross. Generally speaking, as long as you practiced and accumulated experience for more than two years, it was possible to make some progress on it.

Lin Luo smiled and didn’t bother to say a word. It would be useless to try to explain himself now. Everything would be made clear after the final results come out.

The examiners didn’t mean to continue to ask. Regardless of the outcome, if the examinees were willing to take the test, it wasn’t up to them as examiners to stop them. They may as well use the opportunity to increase their knowledge and accumulate some experience.

“Have you brought your jade?”

“Brought it.”

Gu QiuYang took out a fist-sized piece of grass green glass jade. Although the color wasn’t particularly good, the clarity and extraordinarily fine crystal structure glass types had were it’s real advantage as there were basically no impurities. The purity of the element liquid extracted from it would certainly not be too bad.

Lin Luo also proceeded to take out a piece of glass jade. The one that he chose to bring was the FuLuShou glass jade. At this time, the green wood element and red fire element had already been extracted out by Lin Luo, so only the yellow earth element was left.

“This, this is…” After all, some of these examiners had read the news and knew that Lin Luo had just brought back a piece of FuLuShou glass jade from the Fifth Star Territory. Now though this jade had only one color left. They could all imagine where the remaining two colors had gone.

Even Gu QiuYang showed an incredulous look. Could this Lin Luo have really used such a priceless jade for practice at home?
