Secondly, it is not necessarily true that the higher the level of the holy weapon refined by someone, the more likely they are to pass the assessment. After all, the refinement masters on the scene have varying levels of cultivation, with the weakest being at the mid-Earth Level and the strongest being a Heavenly Saint powerhouse from Wu State. Yet, his rank as a Refiner is only at the peak of Earth Level.
Tian Gong needs to select those who have growth potential and can become Heavenly Level Refiners in the future. As for their current strength, it is not what they focus on. Even if a Heavenly Saint expert cannot grow into a Heavenly Level Refiner in the future, he will still be eliminated in the third round.
As for directly joining Tian Gong after refining a Heavenly Level holy weapon, no one has any objections to that. Heavenly Level Refiners are indeed considered significant figures even in the entire Guang Han Mansion. Currently, in the entire Yun State, there is only one Heavenly Level Refiner, and that is the master Wan Xin De of the Yun State Qi Pavilion.
If such a Refiner is willing, he can naturally enter Tian Gong directly and become one of them.
The only confusion among the crowd is how to determine the score of the holy weapons.
"There is no need for everyone to worry about this. The final round of appraisal will be conducted by the appraisal instrument from our Tian Gong's Refiner Department, which will provide the results."
The appraisal instrument is specifically designed for identifying treasures in the heavenly realm and can easily discern the level of holy weapons. It is widely circulated in the heavenly realm, and some top-tier Qi Pavilions also possess appraisal instruments.
The appraisal instruments are also graded, with higher-ranked instruments being able to identify stronger treasures. Naturally, Tian Gong's appraisal instrument is the most top-notch.
After hearing the rules for the third round of assessments, even Qin Chen could not help but marvel. The examination methods of Tian Gong are very meticulous, leaving no genius overlooked.
With the rules announced, the third round of assessment officially begins.
The first step is to select materials.
In front of Qin Chen, a hundred types of materials are laid out. Since each contestant's materials are the same, to prevent cheating, an invisible barrier is formed around each contestant's position once the competition begins.
This barrier isolates the sensory perceptions and line of sight between each assessor, while the external examiners and audience can clearly see the actions of every contestant, making the assessment quite fair.
Identifying materials is child's play for Qin Chen.
The second round of assessments has already proven Qin Chen's abilities. With the sky-patching technique's incredible ability to identify materials, the properties and effects of any material are hard to escape Qin Chen's observation.
This third round of assessment has a time limit of five days. Contestants need to refine a holy weapon within five days. This time is more than enough for Qin Chen, as he has sufficient time to analyze these materials.
With nearly a hundred types of materials, Qin Chen instantly activated the sky-patching technique. Immediately, the aura, activity, and properties of each material became clear in Qin Chen's perception.
After just one glance and careful analysis, Qin Chen began to classify all the materials one by one.
This naturally caused surprise among the onlookers. It hadn’t even been a full incense stick of time, yet Qin Chen had already begun categorizing a hundred types of materials. Other Refiners had barely analyzed half of them.
Even Bai Yu Tang and Yun Meng Ze, who were extremely formidable in the first two rounds, as well as the Heavenly Saint master from Wu State, had only analyzed more than half of the materials and had not yet begun categorizing.
Swish, swish, swish! Qin Chen swiftly moved his hands, first eliminating those materials that seemed undamaged but were actually completely useless for refining.
