Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

"Is there an alchemist assessment today?" Chen Yang nodded and then asked.

"Sir, you are truly prescient! Today, both President Frank's and Master Otto's disciples will be taking the first-grade alchemist exam!"

The waiter smiled and said to Chen Yang.

Has it started?

Chen Yang continued to ask.

"No, neither of the ladies has arrived yet!"

The waiter replied respectfully.

Just then, the burly man's voice came from the doorway: "Young man, this is the Alchemist's Guild. Do you want to go in? Do you have a letter of introduction from your mentor?"

Chen Yang turned his head and saw Xiao Yan, dressed in black and carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler, being stopped at the door.

"Young man, this person at the door is my friend, please let him in!"

Just as Xiao Yan looked embarrassed and was about to touch his nose, Chen Yang shouted loudly.

"what?"

"Brother Yang?"

Xiao Yan looked up in the direction of the sound and saw Chen Yang holding the hand of a girl with a very slender waist.

"So you know Master Chen Yang! Young man, please come in!"

The burly man at the door instantly changed his attitude completely and hurriedly let Xiao Yan in.

"Forehead……"

"Thanks!"

Xiao Yan finally found his way out and walked into the Alchemist Guild, where he stood before Chen Yang.

Seeing this, the waiter wisely moved a little further away, but did not leave.

"Brother Yang, when did you arrive in Blackrock City?"

Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang and asked curiously.

As for Little Fairy Doctor being led by Chen Yang, Xiao Yan said he wasn't surprised at all.

She's a Douhuang powerhouse at such a young age, can't she have a few female confidantes?

"I've been here for a while now. Let me introduce you. This is Little Fairy Doctor, your sister-in-law!"

"Xiao Yan, I'm a little brother!"

Chen Yang introduced the two of them to each other.

"Little Fairy Doctor?"

"So you are the Little Fairy Doctor from Wan Yao Zhai in Qingshan Town?"

Xiao Yan looked at Little Fairy Doctor and instantly remembered who she was.

"Hello there!"

Little Fairy Doctor smiled and nodded at Xiao Yan.

Hello, sister-in-law!

Xiao Yan realized what was happening, scratched his head, and ended up calling Little Fairy Doctor Hong Wen by his own name.

"Not bad, a three-star Grand Dou Master. It seems you haven't slacked off in your training during this period."

"Your alchemy skills must have reached the third rank by now, right?"

Chen Yang glanced at Xiao Yan and nodded.

"Just lucky!"

"We have to thank Brother Yang!"

Xiao Yan reached out and touched his nose again, laughing.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing the familiar "lucky guy" voice, Chen Yang reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother Yang, I'm already a third-grade alchemist now. If your alchemy skills don't improve soon, I'll catch up with you in no time!"

Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang and smiled.

"Then you can keep chasing me at your own pace. I'm already at the fifth rank!"

Chen Yang clicked his tongue, turned around, and gestured to the waiter while holding Little Fairy Doctor's hand. The waiter hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

"what?"

"Brother Yang, you're already a fifth-grade alchemist?"

Xiao Yan was utterly shocked...

Chapter 42 Yao Lao's Shock! Another Deal with Xiao Yan!

"Fifth rank? What fifth rank?"

Just then, an old man with the title of a fourth-grade alchemist on his chest walked over from the other end of the corridor, laughing heartily.

'A fourth-grade alchemist!'

Xiao Yan, who had quickly caught up with Chen Yang, looked at Frank and was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that there would be a fourth-grade alchemist in Black Rock City.

"Master Frank."

Chen Yang looked at Frank and smiled and nodded at him.

"Brother Chen Yang!" Frank smiled at Chen Yang. "I just heard someone shout 'fifth-grade alchemist,' what's up? Are you about to break through to the fifth grade?"

"I've been exchanging ideas with the two masters these past few days and have gained some insights. Last night, I was fortunate enough to break through to the fifth rank!" Chen Yang has also become quite adept at this, even resorting to talking about luck like Emperor Yan.

"???" Xiao Yan looked at Chen Yang's profile and felt that the other party was plagiarizing his wisdom.

"Really?" Frank was surprised to hear this.

"Is there any need to lie?" Chen Yang smiled.

"Okay...okay, okay!"

"Good boy!"

"Hahaha……"

Frank let out a hearty laugh.

"What's wrong, teacher?"

"Greetings, Master Chen Yang!"

Frank's hearty laughter attracted another person at the end of the corridor. Xiao Yan looked up and saw a silver-haired woman in a silver robe walking over.

"Xue Mei!" Chen Yang nodded at Xue Mei, while Little Fairy Doctor looked at Xue Mei with great curiosity. This girl's silver hair was quite pretty!

After exchanging pleasantries, Frank told Xue Mei the news that Chen Yang had become a fifth-grade alchemist, which drew frequent glances from Xue Mei.

Afterwards, Chen Yang introduced Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan to the group. Frank and Xue Mei were even more shocked to learn that Xiao Yan was also a pharmacist at a young age, and a third-grade pharmacist at that.

Soon, Otto and Linfi arrived as well.

After another introduction, Otto announced that he would throw a banquet to celebrate Chen Yang's arrival that evening and even invited the city lord. Upon hearing this, Lin Fei raised both hands in agreement.

She's just quirky, not stupid.

If his father could gain the friendship of a fifth-grade alchemist, his status in the empire might even rise higher.

"There's no need for a banquet. We can just have a meal together after these kids finish their assessments."

Chen Yang pointed at Xiao Yan and the others and shook his head. He liked liveliness, but not too much liveliness, especially when he was the center of attention.

“Alright, since Master Chen Yang says so, let’s prepare the assessment for these kids first!” Frank smiled and then went to prepare the assessment items for the first-grade alchemist.

Just like in the original story, Xiao Yan still started from the first rank and slowly worked his way up. Lin Fei and Xue Mei, having listened to Chen Yang's teachings during this time, had a smoother assessment process compared to the original story, and both pills were perfectly prepared.

On Xiao Yan's side, after passing the assessment for a second-grade alchemist in one go, he took a Qi-restoring pill to recover his Dou Qi, and then began the assessment for a third-grade alchemist.

Because of Chen Yang's influence, Xiao Yan was "arranged" to take the test on the only and most proficient third-grade pill he was currently skilled in—the third-grade Qi-restoring pill.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yan successfully completed the assessment, changed into an alchemist's robe, and wore the badge of a third-grade alchemist.

"It's unbelievable! Brother Xiao Yan truly lives up to his reputation as Master Chen Yang's friend. His talent is truly astounding!" Otto exclaimed, looking at Xiao Yan with admiration.

“Although a third-grade alchemist doesn’t necessarily have to be a Great Dou Master, it seems that Brother Xiao Yan has already become a Great Dou Master, right?” Frank looked at Xiao Yan with a look of delighted surprise.

"Just lucky, just lucky, hehehe..." Xiao Yan touched his nose and chuckled.

"To be a Grand Battle Master and a Rank 3 Alchemist at such a young age, that's no small feat!" Frank exclaimed in admiration.

Chen Yang, who was playing with Little Fairy Doctor's little hand not far away, was also slightly taken aback when he heard Xiao Yan's configuration.

It seems, it's like, when I first came to this world, I was also a third-grade alchemist and a powerful Dou Shi...

"Ha ha……"

Thinking of this, Chen Yang couldn't help but chuckle. Little Fairy Doctor turned to look at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong, husband?"

Chen Yang shook his head and reached out to pull Little Fairy Doctor into his arms: "It's nothing, just some feelings!"

Back then, he was a top-tier person in Wutan City with only a nine-star Great Dou Master and a third-grade alchemist. Now that he has come to Black Rock City, Xiao Yan, who has a similar setup to him, is still a junior, at most just an outstanding junior!

……

After the assessments were completed, everyone went to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

After the meal, Chen Yang declined Frank and Otto's offer to stay and left with Little Fairy Doctor and Xiao Yan.

"Ugh……"

"Has anyone asked about Master Chen Yang's cultivation level in all this time?"

After watching Chen Yang and the other two leave, Frank suddenly asked a question.

"I haven't asked, but he's so young, he's probably only a high-level Dou Ling at most. Dou Wang... is unlikely."
