Simply put, whenever something is associated with Ji Jue, everyone must be prepared to open the door to the absurd.
From an unknown nobody to the chief craftsman of this generation, it only took a few days, and rising from an Ember rookie to a renowned new generation association talent was just the work of two papers.
Even in this process, Ji Jue managed to put the new Coastal Industry on the right track, gaining a foothold in the wilderness.
The ascent was so swift and fierce, it was truly unexpected.
Then... when everyone thought he would strike while the iron was hot and advance aggressively, Ji Jue suddenly disappeared.
He dove again.
Vanished from the association's sight.
Within the Taiyi Ring, various factions, whether observing, cautious, or ready to recruit him, were momentarily caught off guard. Clearly, he still had skills in hand, but suddenly, they lost sight of their target...
It felt as if a murderer, who revealed his true nature in a blizzard manor, had suddenly disappeared.
While breathing a sigh of relief, there was also a creepy feeling.
Always afraid he might suddenly pop out from some nook or cranny, baring his teeth at you.
Too scary!
But Ji Jue, on the other hand, slowed down the pace.
No rush.
A resume wasn't built in a day. If he got the golden ribbon this year, then he would prepare to fight for the golden ribbon again next year. After obtaining three golden ribbons, he could consider striving for the master rank.
After all, that admission ticket had long been in his own hands.
Fluid Alchemy was Ji Jue's best stepping stone.
In this process, he planned to gradually study and transform the theories in Fluid Alchemy—peeling away layer by layer and converting various edges and applications into Modern Alchemy, using them as stepping stones to elevate his status step by step.
By the time he finally reshaped Fluid Alchemy and fully integrated it into the realm of Modern Alchemy, even if the Taiyi Ring didn't recognize it, he would be an undisputed master.
He didn't even necessarily have to use Fluid Alchemy... besides the Zhi Fu tips he freely got from Old Deng of Jian Yuan, he also held the Xiang Sword Ninth Form in his other hand!
Anyway, he had passed down the legacy, and Ye Xian didn't care what kind of form it took. Even if Ji Jue wanted to replace Ye with Ji after achieving master status in the future, it didn't matter to her.
However, Ji Jue would never do something so heartless.
In Ji Jue's view, such an important legacy as the Xiang Sword Ninth Form should eventually be returned to members of the Ye Family.
But as he looked around in confusion, searching everywhere, he realized... to whom the heck was he supposed to return it!
To the laid-back senior?!
Oh no, stuck with this epic piece of driftwood, he suddenly felt the same terrifying pressure as his mentor... wait, could this be something the mentor anticipated as well?
In the end, helplessly, he could only leave future affairs to the future.
The task at hand was to seize the rising period, striving to quickly leap from five to six, even from six to seven, to break through Transformation and step into the Rebirth Rank!
However, compared to the latter, the former was not much simpler.
The beautiful opportunities, Ji Jue had already seized; the shortcuts he could take, he had almost completed; the intense content he could cram in, he had thoroughly crammed.
From this point on, the cruel remnants of Embers remained for him...
The Blood of the Melting Furnace, swiftly completed with the help of the Tower of Transformation, and the Unquenchable Firewood, painstakingly piled up and completed, while ahead, the Heavenly Gifted Spirit was already sneering.
You'll suffer some real crap next, kid!
Embers are generous, and the creation is endless, allowing someone like Ji Jue to excel effortlessly, stirring irritation. Yet, Embers are merciless, not sparing the mundane...
Sorry, the word mundane here has two meanings.
One refers to mediocre and ignorant individuals, comparable to gravel and dust, unable to withstand comparison with brilliant scholars and talents. The other meaning contrasts with the high and pure of the Superior, making the Chosen Ones seem like insignificant dust...
No matter how big an ant is, it's still an ant. No matter how heavy dust is, it's still dust.
The Chosen Ones who embark on this path use themselves as material and sacrifice, throwing themselves into the world's melting furnace, hoping the Furnace of Destiny will forge them into something extraordinary.
And this means... there's no way around the suffering that awaits.
Attend classes, endure hardships.
Whatever is destined for you, no matter how long it's delayed, can't be escaped.
Ji Jue's Transformation trio is undoubtedly representative of the essence and true marrow of Embers.
The Blood of the Melting Furnace requires unwavering determination, only achieved by those one in a million. It demands relentless pursuit, overcoming difficulties with resilience. Under the acceleration of the Tower of Transformation, Ji Jue conquered it.
Enhance the lower limit, control the heat, and turn the craftsman's own blood into material.
The Unquenchable Firewood is about breadth and quantity, altering the world and pioneering new patterns and changes from scratch. Through the integration of Hai Province and the rise of tides, Ji Jue, as a pawn and mascot, hitched a ride and leveraged the momentum.
Further enhancing the lower limit, while increasing control and precision, fully improving the physical body and soul, significantly increasing the load capacity. Once the firewood and flame are self-sufficient, even the craftsman's body rivals any ordinary material and can be manipulated at will.
As for the Heavenly Gifted Spirit... it is about specialization and excellence.
The first two test the Chosen Ones' obsession and sincerity, influence and results, while the last doesn't consider any of that. It only looks at the craftsman's true ability and skill.
