My Martial Spirit is Nanobot

A lot of candidates didn't care about warning; while standing calmly looking at the host, they all knew that the examination wasn't going to be easy, and high risk has high rewards.

While some of the candidates raised their hands with pale complexions,

"No one told us that the test is going to be fatal for soul injury. My soul is injured, and I can't take the exam; I quit."

One by one those candidates spoke, while the host nodded and then gestured at the lower candidates area, "You all are wise; you can return to your seats in the candidates area."

The candidates nodded, sighed in relief, and one by one they left, while the representatives of their empires in the spectators area were startled and started beating their VIP armrests in anger; helplessness and despair flashed through their eyes seeing their empire candidates admit defeat, which will lower their empire ranks a lot, even reducing them to the last ranks is possible for the next ten years.

Meanwhile the other candidates were looking at those candidates who quit with pity and playful expression; some candidates with last rank empires became excited because their empire easily surpassed the last rank, and someone replaced them.

'Well, it seems the civilization here is not that cruel as that of immortal civilization; the hosts in immortal civilization wouldn't have given such an opportunity to quit.'

Lin Lee thought to himself and then glanced at the host, seeing he was raising the jade in order to announce the beginning of the exam.

"Candidates, one by one, you all come here and take these jades away; your task is to connect with the jades and reshape them into complex form. The more complex the form, the more points you will get; the points are divided into one to one hundred."

The host announced and then waved his hand; a cart filled with thousand jades appeared in front of the candidates.

Some candidates became intrigued while others were surprised; some even turned pale because they knew that although the jade is a natural product, it is harder to control than normal stones. Some of them can't even control the stones and establish a connection with them. How can they reshape and change the jade form, which is harder than the normal stones?

While some candidates fell into despair, others calmly walked toward the cart, including Lin Lee.

Lin Lee stopped beside the cart and picked one jade up and returned to his place, sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"What kind of shape will be complex? It is indeed a test of will, mind, and soul; it completely assesses the extent of every candidate's thought power and mood, including his knowledge and endurance."

Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, looking at the jade in his palm, then thinking of something, a playful smile appeared on his face.

'Well, as the master of the second path, it's not that hard for me to control and reshape this jade as I want. Let's see how much they will declare such a pattern.'

Lin Lee thought to himself and then controlled the jade in his hand; instantly the jade squirmed like a liquid and then divided into small parts, a small round nucleus in the middle. It was a small nucleus made from a lot of tiny balls, and then orbiting rings appeared around the nucleus, each outer ring larger than the lower right, with the nucleus floating in the middle of the lower nucleus. Finally, a lot of small beads appeared on these rings, floating around these rings.

Lin Lee nodded, satisfied, looking at the large atom he created under his control.

'Although it doesn't have an actual atom effect, nor can it bond with other things, the energy transfer and preservation mechanism I set in it is enough for it to stay active for a million or even billion years. Now let's see who can decipher it.'

Lin Lee thought to himself, and then he sensed something turn and glanced in the direction of the upper VIP seats; instantly he felt a few heavy gazes fall on him; after a while these gazes disappeared.

Lin Lee's brow furrowed, feeling one of the gazes still lingering above his head; also, he felt a little bad intention in this gaze.

'When did I offend this person? The people in this civilization are really unreasonable. I hope he doesn't disturb me during exams; probably my actions have affected some, even those old fossils who won't believe such absurd reality, but everything is in front of our eyes." Another VIP figure spoke and sighed in the end, looking kind of at his plan,"

Lin Lee thought to himself and then closed his eyes, deciding to meditate until the examination ended.

On the other hand, few figures were sitting in the VIP top area of the stadium.

"It seems there is a saint candidate in this examination." One of the figures spoke, looking in the direction of Lin Lee,

"It's been ages, and I haven't seen such talent in my entire life; a seven-year-old mastered the second path."

Another figure spoke, looking at Lin Lee, and sighed, while others also looked at him; some of these figures eyes flashed, and one of them said,

"I will give him the 10 points; I didn't see any fault in the transformation he made and its complexity."

"I also give him ten points."

"Ten points,"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

One by one, all these figures added the points to Lin Lee's rank, and the list updated instantly with 91 points.

Instantly all the nine figures among the ten in the VIP area were startled, and they turned and glanced at the final figure in the corner, and one of them asked in a frown, "I don't know why you gave him one point." I hope you can follow the examination rule without prejudice against the candidates."

"Don't worry, my fellow masters, I gave him one point because you all gave him full points; full points may imbalance the morals and mood of other candidates."

The figure replied with a stern and solemn tone without changing his expression, then he turned and glanced at Lin Lee with a waveless expression.

Meanwhile, Lin Lee in the ground was startled, and then his brow furrowed again, 'Why is that guy releasing such malice against me? It seems I have to stay a little cautious next.'

Lin Lee thought to himself and then glanced at the other candidates, seeing almost half the candidates could transform their jades and the remaining could partially transform some parts of the jades.

Lin Lee then glanced at the list, seeing his rank is in 4th place with 91 points, the 3rd one has 93, the 2nd with 95, and finally the first with 96 points.

Lin Lee glanced at the first candidate name, Fan Yu, which isn't a familiar name; instead, the second and third names are Shen Nan and Lan Bing, the sword madman and one of the twin female candidates from the ice empire.

'Well, it seems there are some talented individuals in every civilization; I hope they can entertain me well in the next two exams.'

Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the direction of the list, and then the host raised the jade and announced,

"The first exam is over; you all can stop moving now. The candidates with scores lower than 50 are disqualified. You can return to your residence or stay in the candidate area, while the remaining candidates who passed the exams—congratulations! You all have successfully passed the first hurdle. You all are recognized and titled as the master by the Dao sect. The jade tokens in your hand represent your identity."

The host announced, and then he glanced at the candidates and added,

The next test will be held the day after tomorrow. As you all know, the second test theme is strength. You must recover in these two days and arrive in your best condition."

The host announced the next test time and then left the ground, while candidates also returned toward the seating area in order to meet their empire representatives.

Lin Lee also returned to the candidate area, looking at the old emperor's excited expression.

"Hey, suppress your excitement, or your heart will stop," Lin Lee said jokingly, looking at him.

The old emperor Yu was startled and then clasped his hand toward Lin Lee and then spoke solemnly,

"Master Yi, thank you, because of you passing the first test, our empire rank is decreased to ninety-seven from one hundred sixty-seven."

Lin Lee shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it."

"By the way, why did you call me master now instead of your usual fellow? Is it because of the master title given by the Dao sect? Lin Lee thought of something and then asked curiously,

Emperor Yu was startled and then nodded his head, replying with a smile, "Yes, Master Yi, you are now a master with a title just like your father, Master Hao; he also passed the first and second test. That's why our empire rank was decreased from five hundred to one hundred and sixty-seven."
