There should be a certain customary rule.
Qin Chen frowned in contemplation. He knew that if he did not resolve this terrifying thrust, even if he comprehended the first layer of the array pattern at the fastest speed, it would be of no use. Eventually, he would definitely reach the sixth layer.
A strange scene emerged; among the thousands of Refiners on the first step of the Twelve-Layered Array Path, everyone else was comprehending the array patterns. Some had even begun attempting to draw the array patterns they had realized, yet Qin Chen stood alone, frowning blankly, his brow tightly locked, seemingly unsure of where to start.
"What is he doing?"
Master Mu Ye could no longer hold back his question. After asking, he found that the expressions of the other powerful figures around him were similar to his own; clearly, everyone was puzzled about what Qin Chen was up to.
The Heavenly Traveler from the Wangu Building was nearly sweating coldly. Could it be that Qin Chen was really not a Refiner?
But that didn’t seem right. If he wasn't a Refiner, how could he pass the assessments of the Qi Pavilion?
Ruirui had said that during the assessment, Qin Chen had almost shocked the Pavilion Master, Wan Xinde.
But now... the Heavenly Traveler felt a little anxious.
Elder Zhu Ye's expression also became grim. What on earth was Qin Chen doing?
If he couldn't pass the assessment of the Refiner Department, for the dignity of the Heavenly Work, he would have to kill him on the spot. To be honest, he really did not want to kill a prodigy who had entered the ninth layer of the Ancient Saint Tower, even if the other party was unwilling to join the Martial Artists Department.
Wan Xinde, the Pavilion Master of the Qi Pavilion, was also somewhat speechless. He was the one who knew Qin Chen’s refining skills best. Although he didn’t know how strong they were, he was definitely an Earth Level Refiner. Even the worst Earth Level Refiner shouldn't be unable to pass the first step of the Twelve-Layered Holy Arrays, right?
Moreover, Qin Chen was recommended by Master Mu Gu Tian to take the Refiner assessment. He couldn't help but glance quietly at Master Mu Gu Tian, only to find him calm and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.
Indeed, as the top-level Refiner of the Guanghan Mansion, there was hardly anything that could move Master Mu Gu Tian. Despite the numerous Refiners below, one could confidently say that among these tens of thousands, regardless of their talent, it would be unlikely that anyone would reach the status of Master Mu Gu Tian in countless years.
"Hmph, I said long ago that this kid is just seeking fame. From the looks of it, he doesn't take the assessment of the Heavenly Work’s Refiners seriously at all. I now have reason to suspect that he might have cheated to obtain the qualification for the assessment."
Yun Dongguang sneered. Among them, he was the most smug, eagerly hoping for Qin Chen to embarrass himself or even be eliminated on the spot. At that time, he would have a hundred reasons to kill Qin Chen.
A trace of cruel killing intent flickered in his eyes.
Even these top figures were filled with doubt; let alone the countless Martial Artists in the square.
At this moment, the entire square was buzzing with discussions. It started quietly but soon became unrestricted.
Because Qin Chen’s performance was simply too unexpected.
After all, this was the first step. If he was still hesitating at the first step, what was the point of the assessment?
It would be better to come down earlier.
"This Qin Chen... why does it feel like he doesn't understand the array at all?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen him comprehend anything or draw anything; he’s just standing there blankly on the steps."
"Look, the Young Master of the Treasure Hall is almost done with his drawing."
"I see it! What a fast speed! Yunzhou Yun Mengze is also about to finish the first layer of drawing, but Qin Chen... is still completely motionless."
"My heavens, could it be that Qin Chen bought his assessment qualification? This is too outrageous..."
