Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

"What bad luck, but that's life."

If Xiao Yan succeeds in condensing his core, he will become the top performer in the first two assessments.

Even though he failed the third assessment, he still demonstrated his abilities to everyone.

If he wins the third assessment again, he will be an extremely rare grand slam winner in the history of the Alchemy Conference.

Only someone like Dan Wang Guhe could obtain such an honor.

However, when Danwang Guhe participated in the assessment, he was already twenty-nine years old, which gave him an advantage in terms of age and experience.

The young man below looks even younger.

"Did Yan'er succeed?"

Xiao Zhan watched the scene below with tension.

Because Xiao Yan used his last-minute method to condense the elixir, the contents inside the cauldron scattered, causing the surrounding area to become a blur.

A strong wind blew, and the smoke dissipated.

Xiao Yan held a pill that shimmered with a blue light in his hands, standing upright on the now-ruined platform.

"That's... the Windwalking Pill!"

"He succeeded!"

Everyone stared incredulously at the mysterious young man below.

In that almost indefensible situation, he actually managed to condense his core!

"This kid is actually pretty good."

Yao Chen said with a smile.

He actually figured it out in just one night.

Chapter 213 Zihuo

"Teacher, I didn't let you down, did I?"

Last night, even in his dreams, Xiao Yan was pondering alchemy techniques.

Although I was just taking a risk, that move just now went surprisingly smoothly.

The gray-robed youth trembled slightly with anger upon seeing Xiao Yan successfully condense his core.

How can it be?

It was still possible to form a pill under the deliberate interference of the aftershocks!

How did he do that?

Before he could vent his frustration, the gray-robed youth hurriedly began a new round of pill refining.

In an attempt to prevent Xiao Yan from winning, he sacrificed his own elixir, but still failed.

In that case, wouldn't he have just wasted his time by exploding the cauldron?

hateful!

He has now fallen behind. Guhe's disciples and the royal princess have already discovered the problem with the prescription and have moved on to the process of refining new pills.

He could have easily secured second place in the Dan realm, but now he can only desperately chase after the two little kids!

Clearly, the boy in gray was not as young as he appeared.

The suspicions and targeting of Jia Xingtian due to his imperial identity are not unfounded.

The gray-clad youth's true identity is Yan Li, the vice president of the Alchemist Guild of the Izumo Empire and a peak fourth-grade alchemist!

He used special elixirs to change the shape of his body.

The realism was so high that it even affected bone age, which is why no abnormalities were found in previous tests.

On the stands, Jia Xingtian smiled.

That was really satisfying! That gray-robed thief tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing his own life; now he probably won't even be able to keep his second-place position.

But then again, who exactly is that little guy wearing the mask?

To be able to quickly form a pill under such circumstances, even Fama probably couldn't do it, right?

Jia Xingtian looked at Xiao Yan, pondering how to win over this young man after today's competition.

Boom!

The bell rang, signaling the end of the second assessment.

Liu Ling and Yao Yue successfully completed the pill refining, but unfortunately, they were eventually caught up by the gray-robed youth.

This alchemist's alchemy skills far surpassed those of the two, so both his speed in refining medicinal materials and his efficiency in condensing pills were far superior to theirs.

"Tomorrow, there's still a chance tomorrow!"

Yan Li clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.

As long as he wins the conference tomorrow, the final victory will still belong to him!

How spectacular it would be if the alchemists of the Izumo Empire won the championship of the Jiama Empire Alchemy Tournament!

Yan Li took considerable risks to complete this mission.

Pills that can change body shape also have significant side effects.

He must win the final victory!

----------

With the conclusion of the second assessment, today's conference is also coming to an end.

Most of the alchemists who had undergone two rounds of assessments had exhausted their energy and were in poor condition.

If a third round of assessment were to be conducted at this point, not only would there not be enough time, but the contestants would also not be able to fully demonstrate their abilities.

The organizers announced the end of today's event, and the contestants and audience members left in an orderly manner.

Jia Xingtian said to a lithe young woman beside him, "Ye'er, go and talk to Mr. Yan Xiao."

"Yes."

Princess Yaoye bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

"Let's go and find out more about that alchemist from the Izumo Empire."

Jia Xingtian then spoke to Fama.

"What, now that the conference is over, what are you still worried about?"

Previously, during the conference, attacking alchemists at will would damage the reputation of the Alchemist Guild, which is why Fama was unwilling to let Xing Tian do so.

Fama stroked his beard and finally nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll go take a look, but you have to promise me you won't actually kill him. If he doesn't show up tomorrow, the reputation of my Alchemist Guild will be completely ruined!"

Today, the gray-clad youth ranked second only to the masked youth, and was also the focus of everyone's attention.

Having become the focus of public attention, if something were to suddenly happen, it would have a negative impact on the Alchemist Guild of the Jiama Empire.

As a high-end and prestigious alchemist organization, reputation is extremely important to Fama.

In contrast, Jia Xingtian, the royal leader whose core value was military force, did not particularly care about these empty titles.

As long as he has the corresponding strength, he doesn't need to care about other people's opinions.

Or, to put it another way, Jia Xingtian only cared about actual reputation.

He wants results, not processes.

------------

Xiao Yan left amidst everyone's attention.

Unlike the doubts that arose when he arrived, Xiao Yan has now proven his strength.

Liu Ling narrowed her eyes as she watched Xiao Yan's departing figure.

"Can I really beat him tomorrow?"

For a moment, he also had some doubts.

From the moment Xiao Yan won first place in the first competition, Liu Ling knew that she could not replicate her teacher's grand slam performance from back then.

After Xiao Yan successfully refined the Windwalking Pill, Liu Ling felt that the place was getting further and further away from her.

On the contrary, this mysterious masked man is one step closer to the Grand Slam.

Princess Yaoyue crossed her arms and walked towards the stands with a helpless expression.

This is Royal Square; others need to leave, but she doesn't.

"Sister, why did you come down?"

Yao Yue bumped into Princess Yao Ye and asked in surprise.

"My great-grandfather asked me to make contact with the alchemist who won first place twice today."

"Go find him?"

Yao Yue's face showed a curious expression.

"I'll go too!"

She was really curious to see what the alchemist's true appearance was like.

"Let's hurry up, he's about to leave."

Yao Ye walked quickly forward.

"Mr. Rock Owl!"

As Xiao Yan walked along the passageway of the Royal Plaza, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him.

At first, he didn't realize what was happening and kept walking forward. He only stopped when the person behind him called out a second time.

"Are you looking for me?"

Yao Ye nodded confidently and generously, extending her hand to Xiao Yan.

"Hello, I am Princess Yaoye of the Jiama Royal Family."

"Oh, Hello."

Xiao Yan replied calmly, shook hands with the princess briefly, and then let go.

"Mr. Yan Xiao, would you have the honor of being invited to the royal family for a visit?"

Without a second thought, Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "No, I have to participate in the finals tomorrow, so I need to go back and conserve my energy."

"Alright, then I wish Mr. Yanxiao all the best for tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Xiao Yan nodded, then quickly left.

"Sister, this person is really disrespectful."

Yaoyue muttered to herself.

They were princesses of the Jiama Empire, yet the other party showed absolutely no appreciation for such a humble invitation.

At least say something expressing your gratitude.

Yao Ye patted her younger sister's head.

"They beat you, aren't you going to be a little humble?"

"Hmph, I'm much younger than him. When I grow up, I'll definitely be better than him!"

Yao Ye smiled helplessly.

"Alright, you've used up a lot of energy today, go back and rest. Oh, and remember to say hello to your teacher before you go home, he's on the second floor of the viewing platform."

"understood!"

Yaoyue nodded and turned to run towards the Royal Square.

Yao Ye watched his sister run into the square, then turned his gaze to the direction Xiao Yan had left in.
