Chapter 474: Success?
Wuhan, drenched in sweat, glanced at Xin Yan’s eyes which were reverting back to her human ones.
"Why did you stop?" Elysia asked with a slightly annoyed look on her face. She wanted to drop a heavenly thunder right over the woman’s head, killing her instantly.
"She dared to look at our dear with those eyes; she deserves a thousand deaths!" Elysia’s anger already started to affect her surroundings.
Wuhan narrowed his eyes, seeing sparks of purple lightning appearing in the middle of the room.
"Noah told me not to. He said that woman is not worth our attention." Xin Yan shrugged her shoulders with an annoyed look. She also didn’t want to stop like that.
Wuhan, who managed to hear her words, got further confused and then recalled something.
"Is... she here as well?" His voice quivered a little while asking the question. He remembered how he felt two pairs of eyes when they first entered the room.
Xin Yan did not reply and simply smiled at Wuhan in return. Her smile made his sweating even worse.
She was practically saying yes with that smirk.
Wuhan did not even plan to ask why she was staying hidden. Just a single glance at Elysia left him a little shaken.
...
Back in the area, the audience’s attention was immediately caught by Zhang Er. They were more interested in the test of higher-level alchemists.
But soon their excitement faded away as they saw a familiar setup appear on the second stage.
Just like the test of the other alchemists, a set of tables and cauldrons appeared on the stage.
There was a difference; it was the Tier of the cauldrons.
Fifteen cauldrons, all of Tier 4, were lined up in a row before each of the alchemists.
Even the participants thought they would also get the same test as the others.
But how could the test for geniuses be this easy...
"I failed to mention one thing. There is one mistake in each of the solutions before you. Before forming the pill, you will have to resolve that problem, or you will fail."
"What? There is a problem with the liquid?"
Seeing the panicked look on their faces, the old man chuckled before adding, "Don’t worry too much. As long as you can form the pill successfully, no matter the purity, you will pass the test."
Even though this helped improve their mood a little, it did not change the fact they were given such a difficult task.
But thinking about it, they felt a little proud that they were worthy of receiving such a test from the renowned alchemist of the empire.
With eyes filled with pride and eagerness to prove themselves, they looked at the supervisor, waiting for him to start the test.
Seeing their expressions, the old man showed a slight smile before opening his mouth, "Begin!"
At the beginning of their challenge, the audience started cheering for the participants.
The supporters of each of the participants, who knew them from somewhere, were somewhat louder.
Although the alchemists from the third stage were failing one after another, it did not take long before one of them managed to clear the task and withdrew his flames.
"Who is that boy? He cleared the test so easily?!"
The people in the crowd immediately turned their attention towards a young man hidden in the shade of the gray figure standing behind his table leisurely.
"Even though he stopped refining the pill and there were no signs of failure, it did not mean that he passed."
"Indeed, a senior alchemist has to check his pills, and only if they meet the mark can he pass."
"I think the boy was too hasty in finishing; the others are still refining their pills." One by one, they started passing comments on the unknown figure of the cloaked man.
They did not realize that underneath that cloak was a 16-year-old boy!
