433 A Monster
Yuchi nodded.
This suited him as well. Even though the fourth-level assessment would be even tougher than this one, Yuchi was confident that he would be able to master the third-level study materials in three days.
If he could not, then it would probably take him a lifetime to learn how to refine divine sparks.
The person-in-charge asked weakly, “By any chance, have you already memorized and mastered the fourth-level study materials, and are just waiting to take the assessment?”
The others, including Si Yuming, were all looking at Yuchi with anticipation. They all wanted to know who Yuchi was and who his master was to have raised such an amazing alchemist.
They needed an explanation to make this entire thing believable.
After all, they would never believe that Yuchi was completely new to alchemy. Without an excellent foundation in alchemy, it should have been impossible to become a third-level alchemist so quickly.
Moreover, there was a huge gap between the third and fourth levels of alchemists, and many were stuck at this juncture.
Yuchi naturally understood what the question implied. However, he had no intention of lying.
“I haven’t studied it in detail yet, but I’m still confident that I’ll be able to figure it out before the assessment.”
His words might have sounded arrogant, but he also needed to showcase his abilities in order to quickly come into contact with the secrets of this realm and learn how to refine divine sparks.
As such, honesty was the best policy.
However, in the eyes of others, those words could only be uttered by a monstrous genius.
A monster!
He was a monster in every sense of the word!
Most of them had been stuck at the third-level of alchemy for decades, yet this young man was about to do what they could not do in decades in less than a week.
Was he even human?
Si Yuming gazed at Yuchi with a dazed expression.
To be honest, if she had not seen his earlier assessment, she would have started laughing at him right there and then.
However, she and the others had all been rendered speechless by this incident.
If this guy said that he could pass the fourth-level assessment in three days, she felt that there might actually be a chance of it coming to pass.
He was just that miraculous.
The person-in-charge did not know what to say. Thus, he could only follow procedure and accept his assessment application.
“The assessment will be carried out three days from now. However, there’s something you should know. There are no second chances when it comes to the fourth-level alchemy assessment.”
“If you fail your first attempt, it will cost you ten million to take the assessment again, so I’d advise you to be prudent and patient in this situation.”
The person-in-charge advised Yuchi quite seriously. He was very interested and invested in this young man’s future. After all, there was no doubt that this young man would become a famous alchemist in the future. Perhaps he would become one of the legendary fifth-level alchemists.
If this happened under his watch, it would be an honor of a lifetime.
“I’m certain that I’ll undertake the fourth-level alchemist assessment in three days.”
Yuchi was still adamant.
Since this was the case, it was fine.
In the end, when the person-in-charge nodded, Yuchi also smiled in response and left.
He would come back here early tomorrow to read the study materials. Thinking about it, he found it fascinating that these study materials had been passed down for so many years. It was the culmination of countless alchemists’ wisdom and knowledge. Yuchi was truly thankful for their efforts.
Si Yuming watched Yuchi leave. When Yuchi was really about to disappear, Si Yuming suddenly realized something and chased after him.
Right now, Si Yuming had too many questions and wanted Yuchi’s help to resolve them.
Especially what kind of existence was Yuchi? Who was Yuchi’s master?
Could it be that there was an otherworldly alchemy expert in this world that she did not know of?
Was such a thing possible?
How many years had it been since something this extraordinary and miraculous had happened?
