'What a magnificent body... bearing incredible fire power.'
'This person might be qualified to pilot a decisive weapon, or even go further.'
Chief Engineer Chu's gaze held a hint of satisfaction.
Lord Xia glanced at Lin Ye, his expression somewhat somber.
Eventually, I'll have to leave this place...
Lin Ye approached stealthily, like a predator lurking in the shadows.
He suddenly grasped Lord Xia's hand, startling her.
Looking into Lin Ye's calm eyes, one could find a hint of comfort in them.
Hmm...it seems he won't forget me even if he leaves...
Is that what you mean...?
Xia Qingran blushed slightly and stepped back half a body.
After the scene was cleared up, the eyes of the Nascent Soul elders turned to Lin Ye with predatory intent.
Extremely greedy!
Chapter 204 The Artificial Artifact [Sword of No Form], A Groundbreaking Genius
boom!
The short, black-haired Chief Engineer Chu strode forward with considerable presence, his black leather shoes, overlaid with white calf socks, almost touching the tips of Lin Ye's shoes.
She looked up at Lin Ye.
"Behind me lies the wondrous artifact, the Sword of No Form!"
"A flexible, formless, and man-made marvel that can both attack and defend—one of my designs."
"I hope you can cooperate in completing some basic tests."
"If you pass, I will give you the Sword of No Form!"
Lin Ye lowered his head and looked at her.
This short, curly-haired girl with a unkempt appearance and thin, pale lips, could still be quite cute if she tidied herself up.
Lin Ye found her words strange.
Man-made wonders...
That's no ordinary feat. Such a feat has never been heard of in history.
Is this little guy really that strong?
Looking up again, she saw a Nascent Soul Stage 9 protector behind her.
"...So, you're a man-made wonder?"
Her face darkened: "No! It's this!"
Right next to Chief Engineer Chu's protector, a strange silver treasure was surging.
The silver treasure shimmered and had a fluid appearance, wriggling like a half-humanoid slime.
Lin Ye was secretly surprised.
A magical artifact that's almost liquid-like looks rather strange!
Xia Qingran explained telepathically from the side.
"Friend Daoist Lin, Friend Daoist Lin."
"I heard that the man-made wonder, the Formless Sword, was designed by Chief Engineer Chu using the remains of various ancient artifacts, and its cost is unimaginably high."
"Chief Engineer Chu's own cultivation level is insufficient, so he cannot make spiritual artifacts by hand."
"The master craftsman who helped her create the magical artifact she designed has passed away. There are no craftsmen who can reach the level of the master craftsman now. It is estimated that there will never be another man-made wonder."
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Lin, don't underestimate Chief Engineer Chu just because her cultivation level isn't high. She is the most influential weapon refiner in the Star Alliance."
"Now is a good opportunity, you must seize the Formless Sword!"
Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.
It turned out to be the case.
New strange objects can only be created by using fragments of existing strange objects as materials.
It's hard to say how valuable this approach is until you've actually used the finished product, but I still have some ideas about it.
Moreover, this was the environment of the Colossus era, making it very difficult for weapon refiners to work.
I knew it! She was the only one in the entire place who wasn't a Nascent Soul cultivator, and she even had a bodyguard at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.
He's clearly a very important figure in the Star Alliance. So he's one of our weapon refiners!
Since Chief Engineer Chu's cultivation level was not high, he was still able to become a leader among the Star Alliance weapon refiners in this environment. Lin Ye could easily understand this by considering the mindset of other weapon refiners.
Chief Engineer Chu must be a genius in the design of magical artifacts, and he must be far ahead of the times.
Xia Qingran is also very meticulous.
She seemed worried that the appearance of such a terrifying term as "man-made artifact" would affect Lin Ye's confidence as a weapon refiner.
So I explained it to them telepathically.
However, she also considered Chief Engineer Chu's feelings and emphasized that she was the Star Alliance's top weapon refiner.
She was gentle, and I cried.
Of course, Lin Ye is completely incapable of being defeated.
Geniuses emerge in every era, and the art of weapon refiners is particularly rich in talent.
It would be even better if he could make a genius work for him.
The Star Alliance is, after all, a power that controls four continents and has all the world's resources at its disposal.
During the archaeological boom of the spiritual revival era, many of the treasures unearthed at that time were taken away by the ascended beings of that era.
Even so, the four continents, with their vast lands and abundant resources, must still hold many treasures.
Moreover, Star Alliance is very stable.
Although the probability of advanced cultivators going into qi deviation is quite high at this time, the internal mortality rate is actually much lower compared to the ancient cultivation era.
In other words, there's a significant chance that any talented cultivator from the past thousand years would still be alive today.
For example, Dark Star Martial God and Berserker Martial God.
Lin Ye has never met them in person, but he has read about their deeds.
He wiped out the remnants of the Giant Enterprise Alliance... killed a demonic cultivator who was above his level... His achievements are extraordinary, very impressive.
Lin Ye had a vague feeling that these two were somewhat like chosen ones.
Otherwise, judging from their long resumes, ordinary cultivators would have died long ago.
Once the obstacles posed by the giants are removed, the accumulated geniuses will likely erupt in abundance!
Lin Ye felt that he would not lack helpers.
It is not surprising that the Star Alliance possesses top-tier, even groundbreaking, weapon-refining geniuses.
Chief Engineer Chu always seemed indifferent, his small face never showing any expression.
"...That's right, the Formless Sword is a miniature nano-polymer artifact made from fragments of ancient artifacts, which is why it can change its appearance at will."
"No matter what weapon you are good at, it can imitate it. It can be a sword or a shield to protect the cultivator."
"Moreover, it was originally designed as a medium to control the decisive weapon [Immortal Ancient God Construct]. Unfortunately, neither Mad Sword nor Dark Star met the standard to control [Immortal Ancient God Construct]."
“They weren’t qualified, so I took the Formless Sword back.”
"Come on, I'll take you to test it!"
At this point, Chief Engineer Chu's usually calm tone became slightly agitated.
Lin Ye nodded and, holding Xia Chengzhu's hand, chased after them.
Xia Qingran blushed slightly, glancing around out of the corner of her eye.
Ugh, how could they hold hands in front of the public?!
The Nascent Soul elders discussed briefly, leaving two behind to continue handling the matter of detaining the members of the Hehuan Sect branch, while the rest followed.
They came here for Lin Ye.
Chief Engineer Chu's summons is related to the Battle of the Titans and is the top priority.
However, she belongs to the Supreme Institute.
Unless Lin Ye, the Demon Spear Master, is a genius cultivator specializing in alchemy, talismans, artifacts, and arrays, he definitely won't be able to get into the highest research institute.
Therefore, Chief Engineer Chu's tests did not affect the recruitment efforts of the various factions.
Moreover, they were all very curious about Lin Ye and wanted to witness it for themselves.
The surrounding cultivators were stunned.
A battle ensued between more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators!
Although the elders of the Hehuan Sect's branch were captured not long after, the battle was extremely fierce. If it weren't for the fact that the central tree city where the city lord's mansion was located was protected by a two-layered Five Elements Reincarnation Array, the vast tree city would have collapsed.
In the underground city, such a battle had not been seen for hundreds of years, and many cultivators were secretly astonished.
So many Nascent Soul cultivators were exceptionally allowed to accompany the decisive battle.
It seems they've come to recruit the Demon Spear...!
A dozen minutes later, at the largest testing institution in Wanshucheng.
The cultivator assessment agency is responsible for evaluating the quality of cultivators' spiritual roots, the strength of various aspects, and so on. Many cultivators walk around inside, and shouts, the collision of barbell plates, and the sound of striking are mixed together, echoing in the empty venue.
Under the watchful eyes of the Nascent Soul cultivators, Lin Ye crawled into a testing instrument.
He had a vague feeling that his recent progress would be so great that even he himself could not believe it.

Chapter 205 Stealing a Man? Don't Try to Steal Lin Ye From Me (3.5k)
Curiosity killed the baby.
Therefore, I solemnly remind you, ladies who are passing by, not to be too curious about Lin Ye.
However, at this moment, at the inspection site, several groups of Golden Core cultivators around them stopped their training and stared in astonishment.
Further away in the large venue, groups of low-level cultivators looked at each other, crowding in front of the entrance to the high-level testing area, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Lin Ye could even hear the distant discussions among the Qi Refining stage youths, some expressing dissatisfaction and others praising him.
"Is this the legendary Demon Spear Lin Ye, who can kill cultivators of the same level with a single shot?"
"He doesn't seem that strong!"
"You're obviously a sword fanatic. Once the Demon Spear reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it will definitely kill the Mad Sword!"
"Second Hair!"
"It's more like it will definitely kill Dark Star instantly."
"Both of them will be instantly killed by the magic spear. The old man should have been rolling gold coins long ago."
"...What did you say? *n"
Blanch!
From these few words, one can discern a recurring topic in the debates among cultivators of this era.
Discuss: Who is stronger, the Mad Sword Martial God or the Dark Star Martial God?
