Isn’t this considered cheating?
Yue couldn’t help but question, because this seemed more like some sort of dark magic rather than steam technology.
Moreover, after Gray’s match ended, that shadow did not dissipate but stayed at the starting line of the track.
Soon, the crowd erupted into intense discussions.
"3 minutes 32 seconds."
This was an astonishing result, and the candidate who was also highly anticipated looked pale, biting her lip and trembling all over, unable to understand what went wrong. She only saw her mentor casting a disappointed glance at her.
The examination order was based on the expectations of the craftsmen, and being ranked second meant she originally had talent in the craftsmen’s minds second only to Gray.
Yue shouted angrily, for he was the only one who saw what happened—that shadow gripped the candidate’s steam car, playing with it like a toy.
When he looked at Gray in shock and anger, the young man was hiding in the crowd, looking at the examination field with a sinister smile.
Compared to improving results through cheating, this was a more shameful act.
Yue clenched his fists.
But he couldn’t prove it to others.
The shadow turned this exam into a farce, the mentors’ order became a tangled mess, and all the results were being manipulated by the shadow.
When Yue looked at Ethan, he found the latter’s face as calm as water, which made him more certain that this was not Gray’s ability.
Upon seeing this person in the banquet hall, Yue felt an intense aversion.
Unknowingly, as the upheaval-driven exam approached its end, the examiner’s call pulled Yue back to reality.
He instinctively looked at Gray, meeting the eyes of the gloomy youth.
The youth gave him a provocative look.
Before stepping out of the line, Ethan suddenly stopped him, "Perhaps, I made a fatal mistake."
Before the exam arrived, he had long immersed himself in exploring "empowerment," he treated the steam car as a miracle creation, carefully tuning it, and thus, caused this terrible consequence.
How fast does it have to be to meet the idea of "moving faster"?
At least, faster than Rowena’s electric wheelchair.
After all, this time it wasn’t using stored crystal technology, but purely electric power empowerment.
Lightning is the fastest element in nature.
To ensure Yue’s examination piece didn’t fall apart during its charge, Ethan performed many stability adjustments, completing his and Yue’s joint creation only at the last moment before the exam.
This is the current "Dawn."
And he, through constant experiments and trial and error, has realized the legacy left by the Master of Tides.
Yue approached the examiner with an uneasy heart.
This time, the shadow emerged from the ground, clawing and dancing in front of him.
Before the exam began, the shadow gripped his steam car as if trying to crush it outright.
If the steam car fell apart before it even started, perhaps his career as a craftsman would end before it even began.
Even so, Yue still started his creation.
The burning flames caused the cylinders to raise a white shroud of smoke.
The smoke formed into a cloud layer, and then, several flashing arcs of electricity. Find the newest release on Nove1Fire.net
Yue heard the crackling sound.
However, when he looked towards the arcs, the "Dawn" had already vanished, leaving a broken shadow on the ground.
Presented before him was only a deep blue trail.
All discussions ceased at that moment.
And this, was Ethan’s most fatal mistake, as an outsider, he never imagined that the ancient technology passed down by the Master of Tides was actually no match for the electric wheelchair he made for Rowena.
Ethan was ready for the battle of gods.
It seemed the gods didn’t show up.
