Just as Zhao Letian noticed Yu Qin, Yu Qin's gaze was also locked dead onto Zhao Letian, his complexion instantly darkened.
Originally, Yu Qin was in a great mood today, because being invited by the Dan King Mansion to observe the Dan King Competition was a symbol of status, signifying that he held some position in the Imperial City.
However, the appearance of Zhao Letian erased his good mood in an instant.
The Yu Family had dispatched two groups of men to ambush and kill Zhao Letian, only for both to disappear without a trace, losing contact altogether.
And yet, Zhao Letian showed up here unscathed, which undoubtedly meant that the two groups sent by the Yu Family had all perished.
Although the Yu Family was wealthy and powerful, losing two batches of High-level Sect Martial Realm experts was still a huge loss for them.
What was more crucial was that once this became known, the Yu Family would lose face and become the laughingstock of other clans in the city.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that not even a half-step King-level Expert could touch this kid, which means my Yu Family can only mobilize a King-level Expert to deal with him? But that madman Chen Shan has already warned us: once my Yu Family's King-level Expert makes a move against this kid, he would slaughter my family's younger generation talents. We cannot sacrifice all our progeny for one person, it looks like we will need to find another way."
Yu Qin stared at Zhao Letian with vengeful thoughts in his mind.
Although he was very eager to slap Zhao Letian to death right there and then, he dared not make a move in front of everyone.
Because that would not only anger Chen Shan but would also offend the people of the Dan King Mansion.
And for an entity as massive as the Dan King Mansion, even their Yu Family wouldn't dare to provoke rashly.
At the same time, after Zhao Letian gave Yu Qin a deep look, his gaze quickly swept over the other contestants present.
Since Yu Qin was here, it meant that the younger generation of the Yu Family might also be participating in this Dan King Competition.
Indeed, just moments later, Zhao Letian's gaze sharpened and landed on a familiar figure.
That person was Yu Kun, dressed in a white robe, who had once been defeated by him, a True Martial Realm genius representative.
At the same time, Yu Kun's gaze also locked onto Zhao Letian, his eyes flashing with icy hatred.
Back in the palace, in front of many geniuses, Zhao Letian had defeated him with a single punch, causing him to lose face and bear humiliation.
But Zhao Letian had become famous in a single battle, stepping on his name, Yu Kun, and becoming renowned throughout the Sky Dome Imperial City.
This grudge, Yu Kun had never forgotten; he was constantly thinking about killing Zhao Letian to avenge his grievances.
However, he also knew that with his own strength, he was no match for Zhao Letian at all. To seek revenge, he could only rely on the strength of his family.
Yet, as far as he knew, the family's recent actions seemed to have not gone smoothly. Killing Zhao Letian may be more difficult than he thought, which inevitably gave rise to a sense of despair.
"Hmph, even if I can't kill you, this young master will certainly return the humiliation I experienced back then a hundredfold. In other areas, I might not be your match, but when it comes to alchemy, how can you, a bumpkin from a small attached country, compare with this young master?"
Yu Kun glared at Zhao Letian with venomous thoughts, the corners of his mouth curling into a smug, cold smirk.
As everyone knows, to achieve success in alchemy, one must expend vast amounts of cultivation resources. It can be said that every Alchemist is produced from a mountain of cultivation resources.
Due to this, most Alchemists are from distinguished families with deep backgrounds, and they do not worry about cultivation resources.
Like the siblings Cheng Jiayin, even if they had extraordinary alchemy talent, without the supply of substantial cultivation resources, they would find it hard to achieve much.
In other words, Yu Kun believed that Zhao Letian, with a much lesser family background, could not access cultivation resources comparable to his own, so naturally, his Alchemy Skill would not be at the same level.
Moreover, Zhao Letian was much younger than him; possessing such formidable strength at his age was already extraordinary. He did not believe that Zhao Letian's Alchemy Skill could be very strong.
Today, he would crush Zhao Letian in alchemy, humiliate him, and regain the lost dignity and face.
However, just as Yu Kun was daydreaming, Zhao Letian's gaze had already moved away from him and had subsequently noticed two other unusual Martial Artists.
"Ge Jun, Lv Yang, among the twenty genius representatives of the Sky Dome Dynasty, they rank twelfth and sixth, respectively. Both of them have actually come here."
Zhao Letian's gaze passed over Ge Jun and Lv Yang, dressed in brown and golden robes respectively, his expression slightly solemn, he thought to himself.
Ge Jun and Lv Yang were not like waste material such as Yu Kun.
According to Zhao Letian's estimation, even that twelfth-ranked Ge Jun should be comparable in strength to Nalan Yun from the Gray Wolf Kingdom.
As for Lv Yang, he was even more fearsome; even if he wasn't invincible, his strength wasn't much less than Baru and others.
Moreover, these two had a calm aura, their eyes concealing their inner strength, one could tell at a glance that they were powerful and confident experts.
Zhao Letian had a premonition that their Alchemy Skill might be extraordinary, and they could possibly become formidable opponents today.
Simultaneously, the two of them also noticed Zhao Letian.
However, they were only slightly surprised and quickly dismissed him, retracting their gazes.
To them, the only thing worth mentioning about Zhao Letian was his defeat of Yu Kun.
But in their eyes, Yu Kun was just trash; defeating Yu Kun was nothing significant, and they could do so with ease.
As for Alchemy Skill, their views were the same as Yu Kun's.
Zhao Letian was merely a bumpkin from a small place, how could he compare to them?
Perhaps, before the final round, Zhao Letian would be eliminated, and naturally, they needn't pay too much attention to him.
"Alright, the time has come, I announce that the once-a-decade Dan King Competition begins now, the first round, time-limited, two hours. During this period, one who can refine a First-grade Elixir will pass the evaluation and become a first-level Alchemist. The first hundred to finish will advance to the second round and receive some rewards; the higher the ranking, the more rewards received. Timing, begins!"
Just at this moment, a King-level Expert dressed in purple robes, sitting at the center of the main stand, suddenly stood up, smiled, and announced aloud.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!..."
As his voice fell, the competing participants hurriedly pulled out their Alchemy Furnaces.
