Chapter 40: The Choice Between Prayer And Destruction
In the building specially opened by the Central City Command for the national alchemist assessment, Kim Bradley looked at Yi Dao and the Elric brothers who were doing the same but obviously restrained, and smiled kindly: ” Haven’t seen you in a while, Captain Yi. And two little alchemists.”
“Hello, Your Excellency President Bradley!” Brother Elric said hello in unison.
“Yes, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect His Excellency the President to remember me. I’m really honored.” Standing tall and straight, with a standard military salute, Yi Daoren showed a perfect soldier’s style.
“The title of Prayer, I was seriously injured in the performance of official duties a few days ago, how could I forget it?” Gently patted Yi Daoren on the shoulder, feeling the tenacity and elasticity of the muscles under him, Kim Brad Lei’s one eye flashed: “It seems that even if you joined the research institute, you did not neglect your own training!”
“Only a strong physique can support long-term research and work… Besides, compared with His Excellency the President, I’m actually nothing.” Yi Dao, who knew Kim Bradley to a considerable extent, told Kim Bu It’s no surprise that Radley understood his situation just by patting himself on the shoulder.
Kim Bradley’s previous record has clearly told him that Kim Bradley is definitely one of the top fighters in the world!
After nodding his head to express his appreciation for Yi Daoren’s modest performance, Kim Bradley smiled and said, “The matter of calling you here, Major Huoz from the Military Law Conference should have already told you? Captain Yi, The director of the Third Research Institute often mentions you to me, so don’t disappoint him and me.”
“I will definitely not disappoint the President and the director!”
“It’s good if you have this confidence!” Glancing at Brother Elric, Kim Bradley said, “This time, there will be no need to assess the written test and mental appraisal. As a researcher and a soldier, the assessments are completely If you waste time, just test your alchemy application.”
“Understood, Your Excellency President!”
“Brother Elric, let’s take the alchemy application test together with Captain Yi. I hope your performance will not be weaker than that of Captain Yi.”
“Understood, Your Excellency President!” Brother Elric agreed loudly following the example of Yi Daoren.
“The most basic alchemy application assessment is to change the shape of an object, which seems to be a little simpler…” After thinking for a moment, Kim Bradley suddenly raised his eyebrows: “Captain Yi, this time you plan to inherit the Ashes The title of an alchemist?”
Yi Daoren was stunned by Kim Bradley’s question, and he was a little confused about what Kim Bradley’s words meant.
But after thinking for a while, Yi Daoren smiled and said, “Alchemist of Ashes is a teacher’s title. Even if he resigns, it shouldn’t be inherited by me, who has only learned half-baked.”
“Oh? It seems that Captain Yi is planning to get a new title.” There was a hint of playfulness in the one eye, Kim Bradley looked at Yi Daoren seriously for a moment, then smiled: “Then what title are you planning to get? How about praying?”
“If Your Excellency the President thinks this title is suitable for me, of course I am very willing to use it as my prefix. It’s just that I haven’t passed the assessment yet, so it’s too early to talk about the title.”
“Is it a little early…” With a smile, Kim Bradley looked at Brother Elric and said, “Two little alchemists, you use your alchemy to make something that you think is the strongest. Bar.”
“Yes! Your Excellency the President!” After loudly agreeing, Brother Elric came to the open space used to perform alchemy.
But after coming to the open space, Alphonse Elric suddenly scratched his head: “Brother, I don’t seem to have participated in the national alchemist examination, right?”
“Eh?”
After being stunned for a moment, Edward Elric also suddenly remembered that he was the only one who participated in the national alchemist, and Alphonse Elric just came with him.
And he himself doesn’t want Alphonse Elric to become a national alchemist!
The army’s lackeys, the weapons that carry out orders… No matter which one, he doesn’t want Alphonse Elric to get involved!
However, when facing Kim Bradley, the supreme leader of Amestris, due to nervousness, he and Alphonse Elric both forgot that Alphonse Elric was not a country. Participants in the alchemist assessment!
Did you make it clear to the President?
Looking back at Kim Bradley, who had a peaceful gaze, but who gave a sense of intimidation just by standing, Edward Elric hesitated for a moment, and was about to say, “That…”
“Brother, don’t worry about so much! Let’s start quickly, don’t keep the President and Captain Yi waiting for too long!” While Edward Elric hesitated, Alphonse Elric had already drawn and refined it on the ground. At the same time, press both hands on the edge of the formation: “Let’s make the strongest object together!”
“But……”
“Didn’t Major Huoz say it? We are not officially participating in the assessment this time, so let me show it!”
Taking a deep look at Alphonse Elric, who was about the same height as him even when he squatted down, Edward Elric said solemnly, “Then you must make it clear to His Excellency the President later that you are not here. Participated in the National Alchemist Exam!”
“I see!”
After receiving Alphonse Elric’s affirmative reply, Edward Elric showed a smile on his face and said, “Then let His Excellency the President and Captain Yi see the power of our brothers!”
“Oh!”
“The hardest substance in nature is of course diamond. But while diamond is hard, it is also extremely fragile, because it loses its toughness because of its hardness!” Edward Elric put his hands together, Pressed directly on the ground: “Steel is different. Although man-made steel is not as hard as diamond, it has the toughness that diamond lacks! Al, let’s make the hardest and toughest steel! It’s like Our determination is the same!”
“Understood, brother!”
The bright blue smelting reaction exploded from the smelting formation drawn by Alphonse Elric and Edward Elric’s hands, and then, a huge piece of steel appeared in the middle of the formation, and the surrounding ground Then it sank at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Extracting carbon and iron from nature to form steel? Nice, simple and functional. And the speed of the shape change is very fast, it seems that the genre of these two little guys should have something to do with steel. It’s just… If I’m not mistaken, that little guy Edward didn’t use the power of the formation!
Did you read it wrong? Formation formation is a must for alchemy, how can formation formation be activated without formation formation? The reason why the human body is made?
Yi Daoren frowned slightly while watching Brother Elric use alchemy to make steel.
Um? Does the younger brother still need to use the power of the formation? Hasn’t it been through human body training?
Unlike the Taoist changer who wondered why Edward Elric could activate the formation without forming a formation, Kim Bradley’s eyes were on Alphonse Elric.
In his impression, as long as the alchemist has undergone human body forging and survived, then the alchemist can activate alchemy without forming a formation!
Because, an alchemist who has undergone human body refining is equivalent to a most advanced refining formation!
“Okay!” Soon after, as Yi Dao and Kim Bradley were thinking about each other, the Elric brothers finally completed the refining.
Just looking at the items made by the Elric brothers, Yi Daoren’s mouth twitched, and Kim Bradley on the side raised his eyebrows… The Elric brothers made it, and it was made of steel. Statue of Kim Bradley!
Kim Bradley looked at Brother Elric and asked with a smile, “Do you think the strongest thing is me made of steel?”
“Hey hey…” Embarrassed scratching his head, Edward Elric smiled: “In our imagination, anything with a body is not the strongest, everything has its weaknesses, only the mind It is the strongest… Since His Excellency the President is the supreme leader of Amestris, he must also have the strongest heart, as tough as steel!”
“Is it steel…” After ignoring his gaze for a while, Kim Bradley looked at Daoist Yi: “Captain Yi, go and destroy that steel statue.”
“what?”
“why?”
Brother Elric’s complacent expression froze.
Smiling at Brother Elric, Kim Bradley said, “Although your ideas are correct, they are not entirely correct. Also, I don’t need a statue!”
“Destroy this statue…” Glancing at Brother Elric, Yi Daoren smiled and said, “You two have given me a problem.”
He took out chalk and drew a formation formation on the ground. Yi Daoren folded his hands, closed his eyes like a prayer for a moment, and then pressed it on the ground.
There is no such dazzling tempering reaction as when Elric brothers launched the tempering before. The tempering reaction that Yi Daoren drew from the tempering array is extremely weak, but it is like a living thing, like a snake. Crawled over the whole body of the steel statue.
“Beep, come on…”
Cracks instantly filled the whole body of the steel statue, and then, the hard and tough steel statue seemed to be weathered, and when the wind blew it, it turned into gravel and scattered all over the sky!
“This… how was this done?” Edward Elric looked at Yi Daoren in disbelief. He never thought that his proud work would be destroyed so easily.
He clapped his hands and patted off the chalk dust on his hands. Daoist Yi said lightly, “What are the three processes of alchemy?”
Although it was an inquiry, there was no inquiring tone in Yi Daoren’s tone at that time.
“Understand, decompose, reconstitute…”
“That’s right, understand, decompose, and reconstitute. I just omitted the process of reconstituting… As for the composition of steel, I think any alchemist knows it.” After explaining, Yi Daoren looked at Kim Brah Del Rey, waiting for Kim Bradley’s assessment of him.
“The effect of decomposing known components and causing damage… As expected of Captain Yi, alchemy can still be used like this!” Edward Elric’s tone was full of admiration and sigh.
“Wonderful! Very wonderful!” Applauding, Kim Bradley laughed: “Use the known knowledge and the least effort to create the greatest effect, Captain Yi, you are indeed a qualified national alchemist. Whether it is Scientific research or combat.”
Kim Bradley knew that since Yidao people could break down a human-sized steel into gravel in an instant, it would not be difficult to break a living person into a pile of useless minced meat!
After all, where Yi Daoren works, there is too much material for him to understand the structure and composition of human beings.
As for the question of forming a formation, Kim Bradley directly ignored it.
All alchemists will have personal items that depict the simple formation of alchemy that they are good at. Kim Bradley knew very well that it was impossible not to prepare that kind of props for himself, given his personality.
At least, for the formation of human flesh, or in other words, the formation of all biological flesh, Yi Daoist must be ready!
“Where~www.readwn.com~ just used something that everyone knows.” Yi Daoren smiled modestly.
“Although everyone knows, you are the only one in that kind of application for the time being… Well, no more nonsense, I am very satisfied with the performance of the three of you! Now let me announce my opinion…” Laughed Afterwards, Kim Bradley looked back and forth on the Elric brothers and Yi Daoren with one eye, and landed on the Elric brothers: “Edward and Alphonse, you are qualified to become national alchemists, I hope You will be able to show today’s results in the assessment in the next few days.”
After finishing speaking, Kim Bradley ignored Edward Elric who wanted to say something, and after waving his hand, he looked at Yi Daoren: “Captain Yi, your performance did not disappoint me. It’s just… I What title should I give you? Pray? Or doom?”
After a wry smile, Yi Daoren said, “To be honest, I don’t like these two titles very much. Why did His Excellency the President choose these two titles for me?”
“Prayer represents your humanity, and destruction represents your behavior.” After explaining the origin of the title he gave to Yi Dao Ren, Kim Bradley stared deeply at Yi Dao Ren with one eye. : “Captain Yi, maybe you found something. But I want to tell you that what you see is not necessarily correct.”
His body froze slightly, and Yi Dao said: “I also ask your Excellency the President to give some pointers.”
“This country needs more powerful strength to face the coming danger. Captain Yi, are you willing to turn into a sharp knife of the army and cut a path for the army?” Kim Bradley’s sturdy body seemed even more Tall and stalwart, and at the same time brought a sense of oppression like a mountain!
After a moment of silence, Yi Daoren pulled the corner of his mouth: “I choose to destroy!”
