Of course, Qin Chen would never be stuck at the sixth level.
His mental power spread out, and countless disturbances rushed in. By the time he reached the sixth level, even if Qin Chen exerted all his effort to activate his mental power, he wouldn't be able to shield all the disturbances. However, this wasn't a problem. Even with the disturbances, Qin Chen could still clearly perceive the array patterns of the sixth level.
However, the difficulty of inscribing the array patterns at this sixth level was much greater than that of the previous five levels; it was quite complex and equivalent to a small-scale array formation.
It was no wonder that after such a long assessment, only a handful of people had stepped into the seventh level. The difficulty of passing the sixth level was indeed not small.
Over ninety-nine percent of the refiners would be stuck at this level.
But among these people, Qin Chen was definitely not included.
Buzz! Qin Chen raised his hand and began to carefully sketch the array patterns.
The array patterns at the sixth level were very complex, composed of more than ten smaller patterns forming a larger one. Moreover, they were profound and unpredictable. Even some top refiners would find it difficult to sketch it out, even without disturbances, and might need to attempt it multiple times to succeed.
However, Qin Chen sketched it out stroke by stroke, very meticulously. Each stroke fell as if it were a work of art, without any flaws. After a short incense stick's time, a perfect array pattern appeared on the sixth level's steps.
Light shone brightly, and Qin Chen smiled slightly as he gently stepped onto the seventh level's steps.
As soon as Qin Chen stepped onto the seventh level, he was immediately met with countless gasps of amazement.
In the sky, Master Muye and others exchanged glances, finally realizing that throughout the assessment, Qin Chen had only now revealed his true abilities.
In a little over half an incense stick's time, he passed the sixth level's assessment. This achievement was simply astounding.
"This speed is truly breathtaking. Lord Wan Xinde, do you have confidence in passing the sixth level in a little over half an incense stick's time?" Master Muye said in shock, glancing at Lord Wan Xinde.
Lord Wan Xinde smiled wryly, "The sixth level, in a little over half an incense stick's time? Even if I could do it, I certainly wouldn’t be much faster than Qin Chen."
"Indeed, this speed is no longer something an ordinary array master can achieve. He is a genius in the path of arrays, no, even more terrifying than a genius." Master Muye was astounded.
Simply passing the sixth level wasn't the difficult part; it was the time taken. To sketch out the array patterns of the sixth level in such a short time meant that Qin Chen's mental power, sensitivity, perception, and understanding of array patterns had reached an extremely terrifying level.
In short, Qin Chen was a peerless talent in array refinement, inherently sensitive to array patterns. To put it in an old-fashioned way, he was a natural array body.
Such a person would appear only once in a millennium, and even within Tian Gong, they were incredibly rare, truly monstrous.
"Hmph, even if his array skills are impressive, it doesn’t necessarily mean he can pass the refiner assessment." Yun Dongguang snorted coldly.
This was indeed a fact.
Refining was not just engraving array formations. A top refiner was certainly a powerful array master, but a powerful array master was not necessarily a top refiner. The causal relationship between the two could not be muddled.
"Now, let's see how far Qin Chen can go.
Being able to pass the sixth level in such a short time clearly indicates his extraordinary talent in the path of arrays. However, if he gets eliminated at the seventh level, it can only be said that his future growth potential is sufficient; whether he can truly grow still depends on what comes next."
"Yes, speed is important, but the final results are even more important. The higher one can climb, the more infinite possibilities they represent for the future."
