“This can be upgraded too?” Wang Ye was stunned.

What about the other crafts?

Could he master music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, tea, and women?

“This kind of lifestyle craft shouldn’t require many potential points. It can help me save a lot of study time.”

Wang Ye’s consciousness fell.

[Do you want to spend 1 potential point to increase your mining ability?]

[Yes.]

It was easy. 1 potential point was nothing on the Blue Planet.

[Mining: entry — beginner.]

In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye had a solid lesson. He became familiar with all kinds of mining techniques and knowledge, and he knew the mineral energy of ordinary planets like the back of his hand.

Not bad.

Continue.

[Do you want to spend 70 potential points to increase your mining ability?]

[Yes.]

Wang Ye was slightly surprised. The increase in potential points required was a little too much.

Learning mining techniques again, he understood a lot about the mineral planets in the cosmic. He also became proficient in the various mining machines on the mineral planets, such as the huge tunneling machine, the cosmic energy machine, the atomic breaker, and the ultra-hydraulic machine. Not bad!

Wang Ye felt a thirst for knowledge.

Again!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Three consecutive upgrades.

His mining ability rose from the advanced rank to the master rank, and then to the grandmaster rank.

“If I return to the low-dimensional cosmic, I can apply for a job at Jiutian Heavy Industry Company. I’ll surely be considered a top-notch technician in the cosmic.” Wang Ye sighed.

He knew everything about, including all mining techniques in the low­dimensional cosmic, any rare ore energy, ore discoveries, the structure of planets, or the composition of the mineral planets.

His mining technique had reached the peak of perfection.

“I should be able to easily pass the 2-star Craft Star Examination.” Wang Ye clicked the “+” button again.

[Do you want to spend 1.6 billion potential points to increase your mining ability?]

Reaching the grandmaster rank had consumed 23 million potential points.

Each time, the potential points required would increase by about 70 times.

[Yes.]

Wang Ye didn’t hesitate.

1.6 billion potential points were nothing.

Light flashed before his eyes.

[Mining: Grandmaster —»Undying]

In the space of consciousness, Wang Ye’s mining knowledge and skills reached another level.

Not only did he know about the countless Undying-level materials, ores, and energy sources in the high-dimensional cosmic, but he also grasped all the standard mining techniques and exploration abilities in the high-dimensional cosmic.

“I can almost pass the 3-star Craft Star Examination.” Wang Ye thought to himself.

The Craft Star Examination was divided into four sections, and one could choose any one of them.

However, one could only get a 4-star rating at most for mining. After all, it was a discovery of raw materials, so its upper limit was relatively low.

The highest rating for planting was 6 stars as the craft covered a wider range. Other than discovering raw materials, one also needed to cultivate the raw materials by themselves. However, it was relatively complicated and often required a long time.

Only weapon refinement and potion could possibly give one a rating of 7 stars and above.

However, very few disciples would choose to dabble in such money-burning crafts.

“Since mining can be improved, so can planting, weapon refinement, and potions.” Wang Ye organized the rich knowledge in his mind.

In terms of mining ability, there were probably not many old disciples in the Newborn Fate World who were better than him.

Moreover, this technique was quite practical, especially in a place like the Primordial Star where the chaos energy was the densest. Many valuable materials and energy sources could often be found.

“If I have the time, I should learn planting too. It’s equally important to know about natural treasures.” Wang Ye thought to himself.

Compared to mining, planting might take more time to get to the beginner rank.

“If I want to get a higher rating in the Star Examination, I need to reach the beginner rank for weapon refinement and potions. I can consider it, but now, let’s go and pass the Initial Star Examination first… Oh, no, that’s not right.” Wang Ye smiled. “I’ll pass the Intermediate Star Examination as well.”

At the entrance of the Star Examination area.

Thud! Wang Ye jumped down from the Thousand-feet Ruler.

He looked at the 10,000-meter-tall jade outside.

After studying for three years, his examination results of 9 stars had already been squeezed out of the top ten.

Ji Mengni, Qifeng Zhenqing, Hui Zhi, Taishu Xiaoyao, Dong Baiying, and the other rookies all rushed forward.

“Everyone’s improving very quickly.” Wang Ye looked down.

Qjng Xuan, Qjng Yu, Wen Rou, Dongse Ziyu, and Chi Xuan were still below him. Although they had many stars, none of them had passed the Initial Star Examination.

Especially Chi Xuan. His knowledge, craft, and classics were all o stars. It seemed hopeless.

Everyone was trying their best to fight for a better future. Their performance in the Newborn Fate World would determine whether they could successfully become a disciple and what level their master would be at. This would directly affect their upper limit in the Primordial Star.

He entered the Star Examination area.

“There’s so many people.” Wang Ye looked around.

There were 40 to 50 disciples lining up in the six Star Examination corridors.

There were both old and new disciples.

Many people greeted him with smiles when they saw him.

Although they were opponents in the Supernova Prodigy Tournament, they were now fellow disciples.

Wang Ye smiled in response. His eyes lit up as he walked toward the three familiar figures in the distance.

The Weixin Eternal Nation trio with Jiu Gedi, Hui Zhi, and Qifeng Zhenqing.

The combination of a swordsman, a monk, and a loli was very eye-catching no matter where they went.

Especially the last one.

“Brother Wang Ye, are you here to try the Craft Star Examination?” Jiu Gedi smiled.

“Yes. What about you guys?” Wang Ye nodded.

“We’re accompanying Brother Jiu to try and pass the Intermediate Star Examination.” Hui Zhi put his palms together.

“I’ve already surpassed you, Wang Ye!” Qifeng Zhenqing said fiercely.

“Brother Wang Ye will be ranked ahead of you once he passes the 1-star Craft Star Examination,” Hui Zhi said calmly.

“It’s not that easy. This is the most difficult of the three subjects,” Qifeng Zhenqing said nonchalantly. “Even the fastest disciple took ten years to pass. Oh right, Wang Ye, what did you choose?”

“Mining,” Wang Ye said.

“You chose the wrong one. It’s much easier to plant!” Qifeng Zhenqing stretched out her finger. “It might seem to take up a lot of time, but as long as you can nurture a single spiritual herb, you’ll be able to pass in about ten years with a little knowledge.”

Jiu Gedi smiled. “Each has its merits and none is better than the other. It’s just that Xiao Qi, you’re talented in planting.”

“Of course! I’m the first to pass the Craft Star Examination and the Initial Star Examination!” Qifeng Zhenqing puffed out her chest and raised her head proudly.

“I’ve heard this sentence 3800 times.” Hui Zhi put his palms together.

“Nonsense! Damn bald donkey!” Qifeng Zhenqing glared. “Monks don’t talk nonsense!”

“This poor monk, bah, I’m not a monk. I just think that I may become Buddha, so I got a very short buzz cut,” Hui Zhi said.

“I’ve heard this sentence 108,000 times too,” Qifeng Zhenqing said mercilessly.

The two of them started arguing.

“I’m sorry.” Jiu Gedi smiled apologetically at Wang Ye.

“You guys are very energetic and full of vitality.” Wang Ye praised. “Xiao Qi, can you teach me how to plant?”

“You look stupid. It’s not easy to teach you.” Qifeng Zhenqing glanced at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye: “…”

“Brother Jiu said so,” Qifeng Zhenqing said.

“I didn’t say that. I only said that the new disciples who haven’t passed the Initial Star Examination might not be very good at learning knowledge.” Jiu Gedi laughed bitterly.

“Doesn’t that mean the same?” Qifeng Zhenqing said.

“Far from it.” Wang Ye and Hui Zhi thought to themselves.

“Besides, Wang Ye came late.” Jiu Gedi looked at Wang Ye and said, “According to the time he entered, he’s only been here for ten years. At that time, none of us had passed the Craft Star Examination.”

“It’s all because I was locked up in that dark tower.” Qifeng Zhenqing mumbled.

As they chatted, the door to the craft corridor opened.

The exams for the three social science subjects were relatively quick, and there were not many people in line.

“It’s my turn. Let’s talk later.” Wang Ye said goodbye to everyone and quickly disappeared.

“Brother Wang Ye seems to be quite confident.” Hui Zhi put his palms together.

“It’s almost time for the second Star Examination, so he came to give it a try.” Qifeng Zhenqing looked around. “Everyone is the same.”

“Not necessarily. Brother Wang Ye has always liked to hide his true strength and amaze others suddenly. It’s entirely possible for him to pass the i-star Craft Star Examination,” Jiu Gedi said with a smile.

l-star Craft Star Examination.

Wang Ye had taken the exam once and knew its contents.

It was divided into three parts.

The first part tested one’s knowledge of materials and energy for weapon refinement. They included common materials in the low-dimensional cosmic, as well as the materials needed to master weapon-refining in the beginning.

Wang Ye’s answered smoothly. He had the feeling of being possessed by a top student as he quickly finished answering.

Full marks!

The second part was exploration, where one had to find an energy source, a crystal mine, and a material for weapon refinement. The targets were ordered from big to small, the difficulty increased from easy to difficult.

The vast majority of the disciples failed at this stage, especially in the search for specific weapon-refining materials. It was very difficult to complete the task under the time limit.

Wang Ye still passed in seconds.

With his current ability, he could sense the composition of any energy planet or mineral planet in the low-dimensional cosmic with just a little bit of perception. It was even easier to explore.

The third part was mining. One’s various mining techniques were tested such that one had to complete the mining by utilizing mining equipment while not losing the complete structure of the materials and energy. Details were the key.

He finished it perfectly.

In less than one-third of the time, Wang Ye easily passed.

Full marks!

“Continue.” Wang Ye immediately started the two-star Star Examination.

In the living area, a rolling notification appeared on the screen.

“Wang Ye has passed the i-star Craft Star Examination!” A new disciple soon noticed.

“So fast? Wang Ye has only been in the Newborn Fate World for ten years, right?”

“He has broken Qifeng Zhenqing’s record of the fastest time in passing the Initial Star Examination.”

“As expected of him! It’s equivalent to Wang Ye passing the Initial Star Examination in his first year. He’s too amazing.”

Everyone was in a heated discussion.

Seeing that Wang Ye’s ranking had surpassed Qifeng Zhenqing’s, they praised him endlessly.

A double champion was indeed a double champion.

After a while.

“Huh? Are my eyes playing tricks on me?” A new disciple widened his eyes.

“Look! Wang Ye has passed the 2-star Craft Star Examination!”

“Really? How did he do that in such a short time? He’s even faster than Dongheng Wanyi!”

“Awesome!”

“F*ck!”

“He passed the 3-star Craft Star Examination too!”

“***! Is Wang Ye still human?!”

“Is he still letting me live?!”

The disciples in the living area were dumbfounded and cursed.

A monster! Wang Ye was a monster!

He was too fierce. He had passed a 3-star Star Examination in one try, and it was the most difficult Craft Star Examination!

How did he do it?

It was unbelievable!

“Wait! Look at Wang Ye’s star count!” One of the disciples noticed something and his voice trembled.

Wang Ye’s ranking shot up rapidly, having 12 stars.

He suppressed Xian Yuyan.

With this, not only did Wang Ye pass the Initial Star Examination, but he even passed the Intermediate Star Examination, breaking the rookie record!
