“Definitely not true!” At this moment, Cheng Beibei exclaimed excitedly, “There’s no way Yang Xiaotian could have passed the Pharmacist Hall’s examination!”
She didn’t believe that Yang Xiaotian could really pass the Pharmacist Hall’s examination.
It wasn’t just Cheng Beibei; Chen Zihan didn’t believe it either.
Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to register with his one-star alchemist identity card, Chen Zihan came over and called out, “Hold on!”
When the pharmacist in charge of registration saw that it was Chen Zihan, he quickly stood up and said, “Miss Chen.”
However, Chen Zihan went straight to pick up Yang Xiaotian’s one-star alchemist identity card to inspect it, while asking, “Yang Xiaotian, which Pharmacist Hall did you take the alchemist examination?”
Yang Xiaotian looked at Chen Zihan who was questioning him with a calm face and said, “I don’t know which hall master you are from the Pharmacist Hall. Do I need to answer you?”
According to the rules of the Pharmacist Hall, only the hall masters had the right to inquire about these matters.
Chen Zihan was so angry she choked up.
Her face turned red with rage, and she glared furiously at Yang Xiaotian.
However, no matter how she checked, she could find no problem with Yang Xiaotian’s one-star alchemist identity card.
“Are we done here?” Yang Xiaotian looked at the pharmacist in charge of registration.
Seeing Chen Zihan still there, flipping over Yang Xiaotian’s identity card, the pharmacist came forward, struggling to say, “Miss Chen, what do you think?”
Chen Zihan could only reluctantly hand over the identity card to the pharmacist for registration, glaring hatefully at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, don’t be smug. Even if you passed the alchemist examination, it’s nothing! Wait for the alchemist competition, I’ll teach you a harsh lesson! I’ll show you what a real alchemy genius is!”
“Oh, is that so?” Yang Xiaotian looked Chen Zihan up and down, “A genius? You?”
Chen Zihan was so furious that her chest heaved; she glared venomously at Yang Xiaotian, “Just you wait and see.”
After Yang Xiaotian had registered, he entered the competitor’s area.
“It’s Yang Xiaotian! Divine Yang!”
“Divine Yang is also participating in the alchemist competition, he has passed the Pharmacist Hall’s examination!”
Many teachers and students from the Divine Sword Academy had come to watch today’s alchemist competition, and they were all astounded when they saw Yang Xiaotian entering the competitors’ area.
Following the commotion of the teachers and students from the Divine Sword Academy, the various families and sect masters from Divine Sword City were also in an uproar.
On the main stage, Peng Zhigang, the invited Divine Sword City Lord, was equally shocked to see Yang Xiaotian taking part in the alchemist competition.
At the birthday banquet, didn’t Chen Zihan swear that Yang Xiaotian had impersonated a pharmacist from the Pharmacist Hall?
Sitting next to Peng Zhigang were Cai Hao, the Dean of Yunhui Academy, and Luo Junpeng, the Vice Dean.
“Is that Yang Xiaotian from the Divine Sword Academy?” Cai Hao, looking at Yang Xiaotian entering the competition area, furrowed his brows and asked Luo Junpeng.
“Yes, that’s Yang Xiaotian,” Luo Junpeng replied with a troubled expression.
He didn’t expect that not only did Yang Xiaotian possess amazing Martial Soul and Sword Dao talents, but his alchemy talent was also incredibly astonishing.
Passing the Pharmacist Hall examination at the age of eight was a phenomenon that could no longer be described as monstrous.
In the crowd, Deng Yichun from Yunhui Academy watched Yang Xiaotian with an equally troubled expression.
As a young alchemy genius from the Divine Sea Country, he had arrived early today.
He didn’t expect Yang Xiaotian to truly participate in the alchemist competition, let alone that he had actually passed the alchemist examination. Yang Xiaotian, sensing Deng Yichun’s gaze, looked over and saw Deng Yichun’s deathly pale face.
Chen Zihan, seeing that everyone around her was astonished by Yang Xiaotian and that all eyes were on him with no one paying attention to her, was even more upset.
Subsequently, Chen Zihan, Cheng Long, Hu Xing, and others who had already registered walked into the competition area.
As Cheng Long passed by Yang Xiaotian, he said coldly, “Yang Xiaotian, you’re just pleased with yourself for passing an alchemist examination, but it remains to be seen whether you’ll get through the first round.”
At that moment, a young man outside the field addressed Cheng Long, “Cheng
Long, are you out of your mind? Which eye of yours saw Divine Yang Young Master being complacent?”
The crowd was surprised; no one expected someone to dare call Cheng Long brain-damaged.
Cheng Long looked over and his expression changed when he saw the young man.
The young man was none other than Prince Gu Xi of the Ancient Sword Kingdom.
Gu Xi was a sword fanatic, famous for his obsession with swords and swordsmanship.
With a fist-clasped smile, Gu Xi said to Yang Xiaotian, “Divine Yang Young Master, your reputation precedes you. I am Prince Gu Xi of the Ancient Sword Kingdom. I have the utmost admiration for you, Divine Yang Young Master. I did not expect that you not only possess exceptional Sword Dao Talent but also such heaven-defying Alchemy Level. I will surely seek guidance on swordsmanship from Divine Yang Young Master in the future.”
Yang Xiaotian nodded friendly in response.
He hadn’t expected the Prince of the Ancient Sword Kingdom to be a fan of his.
In fact, Yang Xiaotian had underestimated his own influence.
The feat of his comprehension of a hundred Stone Swords at the Divine Sword Academy and becoming the Sword Hall Master of the academy had gradually spread. Many sword dao geniuses and masters from the surrounding countries admired him immensely.
At this time, the crowd stirred as four elders stepped onto the main stage.
“It’s Lord Li Wen, Lord Wu Qi, Lord Feng Xing, Lord MO Lingkai!” someone called out excitedly.
These four were the Grand Alchemists of the Divine Sea Country.
Yang Xiaotian had not expected Li Wen to be there as well.
He sized up the four individuals; Li Wen looked as energetic as the last time,
Wu Qi was a fatty and also the master of Deng Yichun, Feng Xing had silver hair, clearly he was the Feng Old Monster that Chen Yuan and the others had mentioned; the Qiu Haiqiu who had been killed by him in Xingyue City was his disciple.
MO Lingkai, in contrast, resembled a Confucian scholar and was the youngest among the four.
Peng Zhigang, Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, and others saw the arrival of Li Wen and the three grandmasters and quickly rose to welcome them.
As the Grand Pharmacist Hall Master of Divine Sea Country, Li Wen held a particularly extraordinary status. He nodded and smiled at people like Peng Zhigang, then turned to Yang Xiaotian sitting below and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect the young friend to also participate in the Alchemist Tournament. This time, the tournament will certainly be exciting!”
The audience was astonished, as none had anticipated Li Wen would greet Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian smiled lightly, “You flatter me, Grand Hall Master Li.”
Li Wen chuckled and joined the others in sitting down.
In truth, the decision to set this Alchemist Tournament in Divine Sword City had been his idea.
By doing so, he actually aimed to attract Yang Xiaotian to participate.
He had found Yang Xiaotian’s alchemy during the last assessment enthralling and longed to see more.
He was just curious whether the young man had improved his alchemy in the past few months.
Cheng Long, Hu Xing, Chen Zihan, and others were greatly surprised to see that Yang Xiaotian actually knew Li Wen.
“Does Grand Hall Master Li acquaint himself with Yang Xiaotian?” Peng Zhigang couldn’t help but ask.
Cai Hao, Luo Junpeng, Feng Xing, Wu Qi, MO Lingkai—all were curious how Li Wen had come to know Yang Xiaotian.
With a smile, Li Wen nodded and said, “I met him once, three months ago.”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Just met once?
But judging by the way the two had interacted just now, it didn’t seem like they had only met once.
After a while, Li Wen spoke to Lin Yuan, “It’s about time, let’s begin.”
“Yes, Master,” responded Lin Yuan, standing and canvassing the venue before announcing, “The Alchemist Tournament shall now commence, and here is the first round..”
