Chapter 91: Chapter 91: This World is Fantastical (Part 3)
Everyone was stunned; no one knew what had happened to make the two old men alternate between furrowing their brows and appearing as if they had a sudden realization.
Just when everyone began to feel uneasy, a hearty laugh echoed throughout the entire venue.
“I understand now, haha, I finally understand. The problems that plagued me before have now been resolved; today’s harvest has been quite substantial.”
Although Mu Ruyue’s elixir refining skills were not as good as this old fellow’s, when it came to the analysis and formulation of medicinal herbs, no one from her previous life as a scion of a medical family would understand it better than Mu Ruyue.
Moreover, this freak had the Dan Book, which was coveted by the powerhouses of the continent. With this Dan Book, becoming the strongest Alchemy Master on the continent was no longer just a dream.
Everyone looked at Elder Huo, who was laughing madly, with faces full of confusion.
“Ahem,” Elder He coughed twice and said with a smile, “All right, the results of the first round of eliminations are in. The third place in this elimination round goes to Lingtian.”
Everyone exchanged glances; they seemed to have never heard this name before…
“Lingtian, please come forward.”
Seeming to know everyone’s confusion, Elder He said indifferently.
Immediately, the man shrouded in a black robe took two steps forward, nodded slightly towards Elder He, and said in a hoarse voice, “I am Lingtian.”
Elder He slightly furrowed his brow, hesitating as he looked at this strange man.
“The second place in the elimination round goes to Young Master Qingyu.”
Young Master Qingyu only second place?
This result made everyone stagger even more. Since Young Master Qingyu was the second, the first place must be Qin Feifei of the Qin Family, as only they had the stature to vie for supremacy in the contest.
“Feifei, you’ve finally won the first place,” Qin Luo exclaimed excitedly, “I knew that Feifei you were always the best, even surpassing Young Master Qingyu this time.”
Qin Feifei smiled faintly and turned to look at the judges’ bench, saying, “Let’s wait for the results to be announced.”
But from her demeanor, she was certainly confident about the outcome.
“Now, for the champion of this elimination round,” Elder He chuckled, his gaze surveying the now quiet crowd as he raised an eyebrow, “the champion of this competition is—Mu Ruyue.”
Qin Feifei’s smile froze, her beautiful eyes widened in shock, her complexion turned pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
An elimination round, and she didn’t even make the top three?
How could that be possible!
Qin Feifei bit her thin lips tightly, a flash of coldness in her eyes. She was curious to know who Mu Ruyue was that kept her out of the top three.
As everyone gawked in disbelief, the plainly dressed Mu Ruyue slowly stepped forward.
Her attire was simple, without any accessories, making her appear exceptionally pure. Yet, even so, her extraordinary beauty overshadowed all the women present.
Such a stunning girl immediately drew the attention of many people.
However, as they spotted the insignia on the young girl’s robe that indicated the level of an Alchemist, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
What kind of joke was this? A Mid-level Human-class Alchemist? A mere Mid-level Human-class Alchemist had actually won the championship in this elimination round?
Were they seeing things, or had the world gone fantastical?
Since when could a Mid-level Human-class Alchemist be so incredible as to push out Qin Feifei, a Low-level Earth Rank Alchemist, from the top three?
