Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 31, The Final Assessment

The second round of assessments has ended.

The quality of the elixirs also needs to be tested.

The pills refined by Ning Su are still of the highest quality.

After all, alchemy is a skill, and deliberately lowering the quality of pills still requires some technical expertise.

The quality of the pills used by Xiao Yan, Liu Ling, and the little princess was comparable.

These four people are undoubtedly the four best performers in this year's Alchemist Conference.

Liu Ling and the little princess were as expected by everyone.

Ning Su and Xiao Yan were unexpected dark horses.

But that's what makes it interesting; geniuses from all over come here, and we'll see who comes out on top.

"Congratulations on successfully passing the second round of assessment."

"Today's meeting will now conclude here for the time being. Everyone, please go back and get some rest. Tomorrow will be the final round of competition, the one that will determine the winner and crown the champion!"

Fama loudly announced the end of today's assessment.

The audience outside the stadium sighed in dismay.

The participants on the field also breathed a sigh of relief.

The exertion from two consecutive rounds of competition is quite significant.

The crowd slowly dispersed.

Ning walked away alone and disappeared into the crowd.

Yunyun gazed at his retreating figure, her eyes lingering.

"Sect Master Yun, you're keeping an eye on that boy now?" Jia Xingtian teased from the side.

"If we don't keep a close eye on things, Jia Lao will snatch it away," Yun Yun said with a smile.

"Haha, let's all compete fairly."

These people all had their eyes on Ning Su.

However, what will their reaction be if they find out Ning Su's true identity?

……

"Young master, you're back."

Qinglin waited obediently in the restaurant, and when she saw Ning Su return, she immediately went to greet her.

"Um."

Ning Su did not allow Qing Lin to go to the conference.

Because there are too many people there, and it's too much of a distraction to avoid trouble.

"Young master, would you like to eat first or take a bath first?"

"Let's take a shower first."

"Okay, I'll go and run your bath now."

Qinglin skillfully prepared the hot water.

Then I helped him change his clothes and take a bath.

These are things she used to do often.

"I can make it myself, you don't need to help me." Ning Su felt a little embarrassed.

Before he took human form, he often bathed with Medusa.

But after he transformed into human form, he never had anyone serve him a bath.

After all, it's always a little strange to be seen taking a shower, something so private.

"Does the young master dislike me?" The little girl lowered her head, looking somewhat unhappy.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just not used to being waited on. And I've told you many times that you're no longer a maid and don't need to serve anyone anymore," Ning Su quickly explained.

But Qinglin was still somewhat downcast: "But if I can't serve the young master, I always feel like I'm useless."

She was very grateful to Ning Su for bringing her to a new world, allowing her to change her perspective on it.

However, if she just stayed by Ning Su's side without doing anything, she would feel useless.

"Young master, I want to serve you. I want to be a useful person." She raised her head, her eyes filled with expectation and hope.

"From now on, I am willing to serve only you, my lord, and be your only maid!"

Ning Su ultimately couldn't persuade her.

"Okay, then give me a shoulder massage."

Qinglin was finally happy and quickly went over to help Ning Su massage her shoulders and back.

……

Alchemists Guild.

Fama and the others were still preparing through the night for the final round of the competition tomorrow.

"Through the two rounds of competition here today, everyone has gained a preliminary understanding of the participating alchemists."

"Tomorrow's championship battle will most likely be between Liu Ling, Little Princess, Ning Su, and Yan Xiao."

Jia Xingtian suddenly asked, "Didn't we receive intelligence that two alchemists from the Yun Empire were coming to participate in the competition and trying to disrupt the event? Have you spotted them?"

Fama shook his head: "We started investigating as soon as we received the intelligence, but so far we haven't found anything."

"I guess those two gave up because they saw how heavily guarded our conference was this time."

Yun Yun also said, "If the people from the Izumo Empire really dare to cause trouble, then they have no desire to live."

The most powerful forces in the entire Gama Empire were present, and the major experts attended as referees.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in this kind of place is truly fearless.

"Then there shouldn't be any trouble. Let's just wait quietly for the competition to end tomorrow," Jia Xingtian said.

Everyone nodded.

……

The latest novel is first published here!

Early the next morning.

The final round of competition arrived as scheduled.

Royal Square was packed with people this morning, even more than yesterday.

After all, today's round of competition will determine the final champion, and many people want to witness the birth of the champion with their own eyes.

Soon, the contestants walked out of the passage and onto the plaza one by one.

Many people were also cheering for their favorite players.

"Go, little princess!"

"Keep it up, Senior Brother Liu!"

These are the players they have the highest hopes for.

Soon, everyone arrived.

Fa Ma stood up: "Today is the final round of assessments for this year's Alchemist Competition. The person who wins this round will be the champion of this year's Alchemist Competition!"

"The rules for the final round of assessments are very simple."

"Our Alchemist Guild will no longer provide anything. Everyone will rely on their own skills to concoct their best elixir on-site within the allotted time."

"Whoever refines the highest-grade and best-quality elixir will be the champion of this year's Alchemist Competition!"

Fama's words stirred everyone's emotions.

"I hereby declare the third round of assessments officially begun!"

As the words fell, a bell rang out all around.

The final test has begun!

Many alchemists had already made preparations and were about to begin.

Some people are still thinking about what kind of elixir to refine.

The current requirement is simple: do everything possible to refine the highest-grade elixir.

But there are also many risks involved.

High-grade elixirs also carry a high risk of failure.

The risk of failure is lower for slightly lower-grade pills.

For example, a grade four pill has a success rate of only 30%, while a grade three pill has a success rate of 70%. So, should one refine a grade four pill or a grade three pill?

This choice is the first test for many alchemists.

Some choose to refine elixirs with a higher success rate, while others choose to challenge themselves.

No matter which you choose, you can't go wrong.

It's just a matter of different personal choices.

Ning Su was also thinking about what kind of elixir to refine.

He currently possesses only one type of peak-grade fourth-rank pill—the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.

He had no choice.

On the other side, Xiao Yan was also thinking about what kind of pill to refine.

"Teacher, what's the highest level of elixir I can refine right now?"

"Fourth-grade pills are not a problem. As for whether to refine low-grade fourth-grade pills or high-grade fourth-grade pills, it depends on whether you want to challenge yourself."

"My goal is to win the championship, so I definitely can't refine a low-grade fourth-rank item!"

"Hmm... then let's refine the Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill, a peak fourth-grade pill."
