Chapter 661: 【Final 143】Idiot, take your time to study!

What's the situation? Ye Chen actually tied for first place with Fang Ming!

This voice fell like a thunderclap.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves!

Everyone looked in utter shock at the top of the list.

Two names!

"Fang Ming!" "Ye Chen!" Eight hundred points!

Tens of thousands of disciples almost simultaneously rubbed their eyes, faces full of disbelief.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"How could Ye Chen possibly get them all right?"

"How could his herbalism proficiency possibly match Fang Ming's?"

"Did he cheat?"

Compared to his own failure, Ye Chen's success is obviously more heart-wrenching!

Pain!

Too painful!

Not far away, Ji Fuyao's eyes sparkled with a brilliant galaxy as she lightly clapped for Ye Chen, "Junior Ye Chen, well done, you haven't embarrassed the master."

A Li and Qing Qiu also gave a thumbs up.

All correct!

Truly worthy of being the master's disciple!

Ye Chen wore a calm, carefree expression, imitating Lu Xuan's manner, and said lightly, "Just a routine operation."

Ji Fuyao: "..."

A Li: "..."

And at that moment, the entire venue erupted.

Fang Ming got them all right, earning first place in herbalism proficiency; they could accept that.

That obscure Ye Chen getting first place is more agonizing than killing them!

Even Mu Qi looked dazed and dejected, repeatedly muttering, "How is this possible? How could this happen?"

At that moment.

Fang Ming slowly opened his eyes; his ears were really too noisy.

The crowd's discussion also surprised him a bit.

Ye Chen tied for first with him?

How could that idiot possibly have such strong herbalism proficiency?

Fang Ming looked at the list, which clearly wrote that he and Ye Chen tied for first.

Ye Chen also got them all right.

He couldn't accept that this lowly person from a remote star sea could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

In the next instant, Fang Ming stood up directly.

He looked toward Ancient River Ancestor and Yun Qianji, bowed respectfully, and declared loudly, "Master, Senior Yun, I do not accept this!"

His voice fell like thunder, echoing through heaven and earth.

Everyone was stunned.

A flash of ruthlessness passed through Qi Mu's eyes as he inwardly sneered, "What? Ye Chen can't tie for first with you? What an egomaniac!"

Ye Chen slightly frowned, "What is he trying to do?"

For a moment, all eyes locked onto Fang Ming.

Ancient River Ancestor let out a soft "yi," "Oh? Fang Ming, what's your opinion?"

Fang Ming pointed at Ye Chen, gave a scornful chuckle, "Heh. How could such a lowly person from the edge of the star domain possibly stand shoulder to shoulder with me? I earned eight hundred points only because this exam only has eight hundred points."

"And that country bumpkin Ye Chen could get eight hundred points only because his ability is only eight hundred points!"

"Therefore, Master, Senior Yun, I request an additional test to determine the true first place!"

"First place can only be one person!"

As soon as he said that, everyone erupted in an uproar.

So arrogant!

So overbearing!

Truly the strongest disciple of Ancient River Ancestor, and also acclaimed as the most talented pill master in the history of the Spirit Void Pill Sect!

Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, inwardly complaining, "What? Is he sick?"

Nima, does this senior brother of his love showing off so much?

Fine, fine, fine.

Keep pretending.

Anyway, he's always been using curses to wish Fang Ming an early death.

A genius who dies young is no genius!

Ye Chen simply laughed.

This Fang Ming is a bit nuts.

Fang Yan clenched his fists, indignant, "I'm really sick of this show-off! From the first time we met Fang Ming, he's looked down on us. Mad, is he really that noble? Junior Ye Chen also likes to show off sometimes, but why isn't he as annoying?"

Just as he finished speaking, Luo Lingkong said softly, "Actually, Junior Ye Chen's showing off is also quite annoying. I often want to hit him."

Liu Xuan deeply agreed, smiling brightly, "Right. It's just that we're increasingly unable to beat Junior Ye Chen."

Fang Yan: "..."

Ji Fuyao: "..."

At this moment, many disciples in the arena voiced their support for Fang Ming.

This is Fang Ming's influence!

His reputation is great in the Taichu Star Domain!

Fang Ming can get first place, but Ye Chen cannot.

Otherwise they would really feel awful!

"Support adding another match! Let's see how Ye Chen's proficiency with plants and trees really is!"

"Fang Ming, the eternal god!"

"I second that!"

Hearing the crowd's shouts, Guhe Elder looked toward Lu Xuan, "Daoist friend Lu Xuan, what do you think? Should we give another question? If Ye Chen and Fang Ming both answer correctly, then we give another question, until we determine first place."

Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, shrugged, and said, "I don't care."

Ye Chen also said nonchalantly, "Me too."

The crowd muttered discontent.

What are this master and disciple showing off for?

Guhe Elder nodded, "Alright, then Brother Yun will set the questions, test you, and decide first and second place."

Upon hearing that, Yun Qianji nodded and beckoned to Ye Chen and Fang Ming, "Come over, both of you."

Boom!

Boom!

Ye Chen and Fang Ming stepped into the void and rose, divine radiance surging beneath their feet, directly arriving before Yun Qianji.

Yun Qianji took the opportunity to activate the red pearl to test Ye Chen.

Unfortunately, the red pearl showed no reaction!

Yun Qianji shook his head, feeling a wave of disappointment.

As expected, they could only take Fang Ming away.

That naturally meant only Fang Ming could get first place.

Yun Qianji thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Next, I will give you a question on grafting spiritual herbs."

As he spoke, a strange flower appeared in his hand, its ten petals and stems completely different.

As soon as this strange spiritual herb appeared, everyone's faces turned bitter.

This flower is probably grafted from over a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs!

Many of them are spiritual herbs extremely rare in the Taichu Star Domain.

Just identifying them is extremely difficult!

Yun Qianji said, "Give you the time of one incense stick to restore this flower."

He flicked his sleeve, and a vast amount of spiritual herbs appeared before Ye Chen and Fang Ming—tens of thousands of varieties, densely arranged before them.

The disciples on the ground felt dizzy.

To restore it within the time of one incense stick?

This difficulty is too great!

Just identifying the composition of this flower is already extremely difficult, let alone restoring it.

Even Mu Qi felt great pressure.

He actually couldn't recognize all the spiritual herb components of the flower!

At that moment, Fang Ming's eyes lit up—he remembered how, a few days ago, while discussing alchemy with Yun Qianji, Yun Qianji had produced a similar flower and taught him how to analyze, deconstruct, and reconstruct it.

"Could it be that Senior Yun deliberately let us win?"

"It seems Senior Yun has already chosen me!"

"Then what do you have to compete with me, Ye Chen?"

He looked at Ye Chen, who was seriously analyzing.

Fang Ming immediately got started, beginning to directly reconstruct it.

He had already done this question before.

This is not cheating.

This is predetermined.

Fang Ming sneered at Ye Chen.

"Idiot, take your time researching."
