“!!!”
The crowd gasped. Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief as they looked at the ring in shock. Everyone fell silent.
Even Ye Zhuixun was dumbfounded. He could not even speak.
The venue became so silent that even the sound of a needle dropping on the floor could be heard.
Although Lou Qianxue had a cold aura, she was still calm.
She nonchalantly kept the Wu Jin Meteorite Iron and smiled. “It should be fair now.”
“You! Jade-Masked Blast! You b*tch! You dared to create a disturbance at my Alchemy Competition?” Master Gan was so furious that his body trembled. He could not restrain his anger as he yelled at her.
“Watch your mouth.” Lou Qianxue looked at him with a gaze as cold as ice. “If you continue to behave like this, I’ll have an alchemy battle with you.”
“You! Little b*tch! Do you think that I can’t defeat you in an alchemy battle?”
Lou Qianxue scoffed in disdain and did not speak.
Master Gan’s head made a ‘buzz’ sound. He instantly exploded. “B*tch! You look down on me, a proper elder of the Alchemy King’s Mansion?”
“It’s true that I look down on you. But it’s you who is accusing me of looking down on the elders in the Alchemy King’s mansion.”
“You!” Master Gan could not hold back his anger. He immediately took a step toward the ring…
“Master Gan.” However, Master Ling grabbed his arm. “We are here to recruit students, not to have an alchemy battle with others. If you win, it’s fine. But if you lose, you won’t just lose your life! You will also harm the reputation of our Alchemy King’s Mansion! It’s something that cannot be salvaged even if a hundred of you die!”
Master Ling took a pause before continuing, “Furthermore, she’s at least a fourth-grade alchemist. On top of that, she has an Abnormal Fire inside her. You better think properly. Are you sure you want to have an alchemy battle with her?”
“…” Master Gan’s face turned red. He froze in his tracks.
Master Ling continued, “If this round of the Alchemy Competition ends here, we wouldn’t have recruited a single student. We would mess up what Lord tasked us to do. You know the consequences of that, right?”
Master Gan trembled.
“We’ll restart the competition again.” Master Ling made the decision.
Master Gan looked toward the ring at Wei Ziran, whose pill cauldron was also ruined. He then sneered, shook his sleeves, and left.
Master Ling glanced at his colleague’s back and said to Lou Qianxue, who was in the ring, “Miss Jade-Masked Blast, as what you wanted, we’ll restart the third round of the competition.”
“Thank you.” Lou Qianxue respectfully cupped one hand in the other.
She had always been like this. If people respect her, she would respect them. If people offend her, she would pay them back tenfold!
The third round of the Alchemy Competition restarted.
When the crowd saw Lou Qianxue coming down, they raised their hands and wiped their sweat one after another.
“This Jade-Masked Blast. She’s really arrogant and presumptuous! By the looks of it, she even belittles the Alchemy King’s mansion!”
“So what? I think she’s very awe-inspiring. Didn’t you see that even the elders from the Alchemy King’s Mansion did not dare to have an alchemy battle with her?”
“That’s true. Her cultivation and alchemy attainment is far from a commoner. She’s indeed qualified to be arrogant…”
“…” In the remaining time, everyone paid more attention to the eye-catching Lou Qianxue than toward the candidates.
After two hours, the competition ended, and the results were announced.
“Four candidates got the correct alchemy prescription and have qualified. These four people can follow us and join the Alchemy King’s Mansion. The fourth place… with a purity level of… The third place… with a purity level of… The second place…”
At this point, Master Ling paused.
Every person in the audience concentrated their gazes toward him and held their breaths.
“Who got second place? Is it Ye Zhuixun or Wei Ziran?”
