Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Han Feng strolled forward.

"Do you know me?"

He spoke to one of the royal guards.

"who are you?"

The guard's expression tightened, and he stared at Han Feng for a long time before asking a question.

"Don't even think about cutting in line, just go to the back and wait your turn!"

"That's what people in line are shouting."

"Feng'er, how about we call it quits? You don't seem that famous."

Yao Chen said with a smile, teasingly.

Han Feng remained expressionless and took out a token from his pocket.

"This is... the Mittel family's token?"

"You're from the Mittel family!"

The royal guards seemed to become even more unfriendly after seeing the token.

In recent years, Mittel's relationship with the royal family has been rather tense, and his subordinates have all felt it.

"Hahahaha!"

Yao Chen laughed even louder.

"Feng'er, let's go back. Let's take another route!"

Han Feng glanced at the guard, put away the token, and turned to leave.

"The main reason is that the people I know are of very high status."

"The royal guards have a very good sense of security."

Han Feng offered a different perspective.

"Come on, let's go to a secluded place."

Yao Chen led the group into the alley.

Looking at the quiet and silent atmosphere around him, Xiao Zhan felt a jolt in his heart.

Could it be the same old trick again?

Han Feng raised his finger and flicked it lightly. The crowd instantly disappeared from their original spot and teleported to the stands.

The space seemed to ripple and shift indistinctly the instant they appeared.

Because it appeared at just the right time, no one around noticed.

"What a great spot! The view is fantastic!"

Yao Chen looked down.

"Xiao Yanzi is there."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan immediately looked in the direction Yao Chen was pointing.

"Why is he the only one wearing a mask?"

That's kind of unique.

Xiao Zhan thought to himself.

Xiao Yan sensed something and looked up at where Xiao Zhan was.

He slightly raised his hand as a gesture.

Boom!

The melodious chimes rang out, signaling the start of the conference.

Fama stood up and read a very formal opening speech.

"Young alchemists, on behalf of the Alchemist Guild of the Gama Empire, I extend a warm welcome to you. Your ability to pass the preliminary rounds and reach the stage of the Alchemist Tournament already demonstrates your excellence. However, in the upcoming competition, you will compete against each other to determine the strongest in this Alchemist Tournament..."

The speech ended about fifteen minutes later.

Everyone was already impatient.

"I hereby declare the Alchemy Competition officially open!"

"All contestants, please take your seats!"

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Several whooshing sounds rang out from the stands. The contestants who had entered with their elders jumped down from the stands and used their own elegant and skillful techniques to enter their seats in the square from mid-air.

This stylish entrance undoubtedly won cheers from the audience.

"Yan'er is still too low-key."

Xiao Zhan said this.

If it weren't for the need to conceal their identities, Xiao Yan would probably have been among those who made a grand entrance.

"Low-key?"

Han Feng laughed and said, "Clan Chief Xiao, you should take a good look later. It might change your perspective greatly."

"Mr. Han, what do you mean by that?"

“Junior Brother is not one to settle for mediocrity; he’s holding back a lot of pride.”

Han Feng understands Xiao Yan.

The purpose of coming to the capital this time is to let Xiao Yan get his revenge.

Everyone has things they are passionate about and care about. Some of these things will help you grow, while others will make you stagnant and stuck in your ways.

Nalan Yanran's actions back then were a fuse that ignited the anger in Xiao Yan's heart.

How could one not harbor resentment after three years of enduring humiliation and hardship?

This spirit propelled Xiao Yan through the first half of his childhood and has kept him striving until now.

Although Xiao Yan's current strength makes Nalan Yanran no longer on the same level as him, he still needs to settle things himself.

In the first assessment, the Alchemist Conference provided a prescription for a second-grade elixir. All contestants were required to refine the finished elixir within a limited time according to the prescription.

The assessment was quite difficult, and it did not tarnish the prestige of the Alchemist Conference.

To refine an unfamiliar elixir in a very short time requires a very strong foundation in alchemy.

If you are only proficient in one type of pill but not familiar with other types, the probability of failure will definitely increase.

Xiao Yan didn't rush to take action, but first browsed through the prescription.

"Bone-Regenerating Pill, a healing pill?"

He glanced at the medicinal herbs provided on the table and quickly selected several that he needed.

"let's start."

Chapter 212 Alchemy Techniques

The enormous hourglass marks the passage of time.

With each explosion of the cauldron, a contestant was eliminated.

The limited quantity of medicinal herbs prevented alchemists from continuing to experiment and make mistakes.

Generally speaking, failing once is not a big deal, but if you fail a second time, even if there is still some medicinal material left, there will not be enough time to make the pill.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan succeeded on his first try.

He wasn't the fastest to finish refining the pills. By the time he was ready and about to begin, several other alchemists had already completed the extraction of a single medicinal herb.

However, Xiao Yan was confident in his alchemy skills when it came to the quality of the pills he produced.

If it weren't for the pursuit of higher quality, speed would also be one of his strengths.

Xiao Yan placed the refined pill into the circle of the testing instrument on the table, and a dazzling light rose into the sky, directly stunning everyone.

"what!"

Dan Wang Gu He's disciple Liu Ling, and the favorite to win the championship, Princess Yao Yue of the Jia Ma royal family, both looked at Xiao Yan in shock.

The radiance of this light surpassed that of the pills they had previously refined.

Fama and Jia Xingtian exchanged a glance, somewhat surprised.

Although they knew that there would definitely be some dark horses emerging at this alchemy competition.

But to their surprise, this dark horse surpassed their carefully nurtured little princess.

"This is just the first test. We'll see what happens next!"

Yao Yue put her hands on her hips and let out a soft snort.

She was very young, three years younger than Xiao Yan. The fact that she could step onto the stage of the Alchemy Competition at this age and easily pass the first round was enough to demonstrate her talent.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly, flicked his sleeve, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"you!"

The neglected little princess was furious and stomped her foot angrily.

Liu Ling gave Xiao Yan a deep look, her folding fan now folded away and tightly clenched in her hand.

Originally, his grades were tied with Yaoyue's.

However, he had long heard that the third princess of the royal family had an extraordinary talent for alchemy, so he was not surprised by this.

It's only a second-grade pill; he still has a chance to defeat his opponent in the later assessments.

However, the masked man in front of him actually surpassed him in the very first round.

How can he win the championship then?

What Liu Ling wanted was to be perfect in every test!

Only in this way can we replicate the teacher's heroic deeds from back then.

Sensing the meaningful look in Liu Ling's eyes, Xiao Yan looked back.

"You just wait, we'll see who has the last laugh!"

Liu Ling uttered a harsh remark, her voice traveling through the air to Xiao Yan's ears.

Xiao Yan smiled lightly and chose to ignore it as well.

boom!

Just when everyone thought Xiao Yan was the strongest in the first round of assessment, another dazzling pillar of light rose up.

"Are there any masters?"

Everyone looked in surprise at the alchemist in the competition platform, who was completely wrapped in a gray robe.

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, finally becoming interested in the contestants of this alchemy competition.

The quality of the other party's pills was also close to that of the highest grade.

It seems the teacher was right; the alchemy competition was indeed full of hidden talents.

Boom!

The bell rang again, marking the end of the first round of assessments.

For all alchemists who had not yet completed their alchemy, the testing instruments on the platform lit up red, signaling their elimination.

"Damn it, it was just a little bit close!"

Second-grade pills aren't particularly difficult to make. With enough attempts, most of the alchemists present could succeed, since they were all skilled alchemists who had been selected through a rigorous process.

Royal guards then entered the scene and began clearing it.

Some alchemists who were unwilling to leave could only take their steps away and go up to the viewing platform to watch the remaining contestants continue their assessment.

"That man in gray..."
