Chapter 147: The Crystal Refiner (3)
All eight test takers stood in front of monoliths side by side. Hex was the last person in the row, with the elderly man beside him.
Their presence didn’t go unnoticed. Quickly, a small crowd formed, standing outside of the platform with the monoliths. If even one of the eight achieved the Adept level, they would have something to tell their families and friends.
"The test is simple. Everyone refines ten Demon crystals. As long as they can achieve A quality for all ten, they will have passed. Everyone gets one hour to finish the refinement."
The clerk repeated the rules but with the added time limit. Hex was surprised but when he looked around, he noticed everyone else knew about it.
’I have never refined multiple crystals within one hour. Hopefully, it won’t matter too much.’
Hex saw the manager from the Merchant Union whispering with another clerk, pointing at some of the other test takers.
’She is already thinking about recruiting someone else. Wait till I show you my worth.’
Hex didn’t mind her action. He just wished to gain access to more Fiend crystals. He could earn and increase his energy at the same time.
Ding!
The clerk knocked on a small gong at the side, signaling the start of the test.
Hex picked the first crystal and put his hand on top of the monolith. The suction force from the monolith appeared immediately. Hex forced the chaotic energy into his body, building a circuit. But as soon as the circuit was created, the monolith in his inner space started to buzz.
