Chapter 696: The Second Round: Refining the Dawn-Chasing Pill!

And among the remaining twenty-plus people.

Jiang Yan was suddenly revealed in the ranks!

Seeing this scene, the young girl outside the venue, holding the image-recording stone in her hand, couldn't help but be a little stunned.

She had never imagined that this youth, who wasn't much older than herself, actually possessed such ability—not only was he not eliminated in the first round, but he had advanced to the second round together with her own Master!

"You fellow, you really have broad knowledge. To actually have such attainments at such a young age—could it be that you began studying the Dao of Alchemy from the womb?"

She couldn't help but feel a measure of admiration.

One had to know that she herself, just now gazing at those illusory images of medicinal ingredients in the air, could only barely identify four kinds.

But comparing oneself to others is truly infuriating.

This person, clearly not much older than her, could actually recognize nine kinds!

At this moment, she had to admit that she had underestimated the other party.

Moreover, she was deeply struck.

At this moment, on the competition plaza.

The Little Pill King was drowsy with sleep, stretched out his right hand, and yawned.

He looked at the Mystic Pill Sect disciples beside him and complained: "I say, is the alchemy grand meeting your Mystic Pill Sect holds really this petty?"

"Setting the threshold of the first round so low that all these cats and dogs who should have been eliminated got to stay, and we still have to compete with them in the second round later—it's truly hard to get worked up about, truly a great disappointment."

"In my view, your Mystic Pill Sect might as well just award me first place in this alchemy grand meeting directly."

"Anyway, that first place position will be mine sooner or later anyway. Awarding it to me early isn't unacceptable. Later, you just need to let them slowly compete for second and third........"

Listening to the Little Pill King's arrogant words.

The Mystic Pill Sect disciples' expressions were cold, and they acted as if they hadn't heard!

They had long grown accustomed to the other's temperament.

And at this moment, seeing that the other party wasn't paying him any attention, the Little Pill King curled his lip: "Like a block of ice, truly boring."

Having said this, he glanced around once more.

Looking at the twenty-plus alchemists who remained.

He was completely unconcerned and said casually: "I hope you pieces of rotten wood can hold on a bit longer. It's best if you bring me some interest later; otherwise, even if I take first place, it'll be tasteless—there's not the slightest sense of challenge......"

Once these words were spoken, they instantly caused the many alchemists present to seethe with anger inside, glaring furiously at the Little Pill King!

They weren't fools; they could naturally hear the contempt in the other's words.

Yes, you Little Pill King are extraordinarily gifted, truly remarkable, but that is not a reason to casually look down on us!

They, as seniors, being looked down upon by such a junior in public—it truly made them somewhat embarrassed, unable to save face!

However, out of consideration for the Pill King Valley's reputation, they couldn't very well say anything.

Of course, the most important thing was that they had all heard that the Little Pill King had now already advanced to a High-Grade Three-Stripe Alchemist.

Now, if they chose to act on impulse, to refute the other party and throw out harsh words.

But if the result was that they still couldn't beat the other party, then this old face of theirs would be utterly lost.

Therefore, remaining silent was the best choice.

Even if their hearts were filled with rage, wishing they could tear this arrogant brat into a thousand pieces, they still did so!

In the crowd, Tang Jingming remained silent.

He gazed at the Little Pill King's figure, his heart filled with contempt.

Go ahead and jump around all you want, jump boldly and without worry.

The more you jump around now, once I win later, the harder you'll fall!

"When that time comes, you, with your ruined reputation, will become my stepping stone. I will be able to seize this chance to rise to fame in one stroke, known throughout the world! And the reputation you've painstakingly built for over ten years will also be used to fulfill me!"

"Of course, I also don't mind taking the title of Little Pill King from your hands......"

Thinking of this, Tang Jingming's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he felt immensely excited!

He was now unable to wait any longer to see the sight of the Little Pill King being defeated at his hands and then revealing a stunned expression!

Now, everything was ready, only lacking the east wind!

A hundred breaths later.
