Chapter 698: The Contest Between Two Powers!

Soon, one result after another spilled from his mouth.

"Inferior Light-Chasing Elixir — disqualified."

"Mid-grade Light-Chasing Elixir — qualified."

"Inferior Light-Chasing Elixir — disqualified."

As the judges kept announcing the results.

Those alchemists who heard "disqualified" could only step down in regret.

And those who heard "qualified" wore expressions of relief.

Compared to the first round, the rewards and the fame to be gained from passing the second round were undoubtedly far greater!

At this moment, seeing that several people had already been eliminated on stage, the girl outside the arena could not help but grow nervous.

Because she had personally witnessed her own Master fail to qualify after refining an inferior Light-Chasing Elixir, and step down in regret.

Her heart sank, and she shifted her gaze toward Jiang Yan's figure.

Seeing that even now he could still remain calm and composed, the girl could not help but feel greatly surprised.

Could it be that this fellow could pass the second round?

The moment this thought arose, the girl gave a startled gasp and cried out inwardly that it was impossible!

One had to remember that even her own Master could only refine an inferior Light-Chasing Elixir.

If he could refine a mid-grade Light-Chasing Elixir or above, then it would very likely mean he was an alchemist above the rank of Advanced Two-Pattern!

Only an alchemist of such attainment could do it.

But how could that be possible? He was clearly so young!

One had to know that even the Little Pill King had not reached such attainment in the Way of Alchemy at this age.

How could a youth she had casually bumped into possibly possess alchemy talent far surpassing the Little Pill King's?

Such a probability was extremely slim — one might even say it was like fishing for a needle in the sea, and that would not be an exaggeration!

Just as the girl's thoughts were racing in all directions.

The judge on stage had already walked over to the Little Pill King Zhou Yan's side.

Although he greatly disliked the other's flamboyant personality.

By virtue of the composure a master alchemist ought to possess, he naturally would not make things difficult for him under the gaze of everyone present!

Then, the judge reached out and picked up the elixir Zhou Yan had refined.

After examining it for a few moments, he said casually, "Perfect Light-Chasing Elixir — qualified."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted in an instant!

"Hiss~ The Little Pill King truly lives up to his name — his fame is well deserved!"

"Indeed, the Light-Chasing Elixirs refined by the others are mostly only of inferior grade, with a very few reaching mid-grade. Yet the Little Pill King has surpassed even superior grade and gone straight to perfect grade — such a terrifying result has already far exceeded everyone else!"

"Facing such an enormous gap, is there any need to continue holding this Alchemy Convention? We might as well follow the Little Pill King's words and award him first place in advance!"

"Hahaha, right! Looking at it now, the choice for first place is already beyond all doubt. The rest of you should hurry up and give up — staying to take part in the third round would only be inviting humiliation upon yourselves!"

"Heh, that's not necessarily so, is it? Aren't there still two people left? Before the results are decided, saying the Little Pill King is first is still a bit premature…"

"What kind of joke are you cracking? Even those alchemy seniors are no match for the Little Pill King, let alone these two remaining youngsters."

"One looks about the same age as the Little Pill King, the other looks much younger than him. It's not as if everyone possesses alchemy talent like the Little Pill King's — where would they get the chance to outdo him?"

"Sigh, that's true too. Looking at it this way, I'm afraid the third round hasn't even begun and it's already ended in advance…"

Listening to the discussions of the crowd around him.

The smile on the Little Pill King Zhou Yan's face grew thicker and thicker.

If he had not restrained himself slightly, he would probably have been unable to hold back a loud laugh.

However, just when everyone present had already locked in the first place of this Alchemy Convention in advance.

Something unexpected happened.

The judge's voice suddenly rang out: "Perfect Light-Chasing Elixir — qualified."

The voice was not loud, yet it echoed in everyone's ears like a clap of thunder, deafening!

The next moment.

The entire venue instantly exploded into an uproar!

"Another perfect-grade Light-Chasing Elixir? How could that be possible?!"

"Who is this person? To possess such profound alchemy attainment."
