Simplified Beast Evolution Path - Chapter 374
374 Enemies Meet at the Competition
Su Bai had never thought about dual cultivation. After all, the level in Alchemy was of no use to him.
Su Bai’s Alchemy skills were enough to protect him, or rather, to let him put those people he did not like in shame.
Whether it was competitions or Alchemy, they were all hobbies of Su Bai.
Qin Wu’s expression was quite subtle.
Dual cultivation required more time and materials. Some of the materials needed to raise Beasts were completely different from the materials needed for Alchemy.
To achieve dual cultivation, one had to sleep less than five hours a day. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have outstanding strength in both fields.
Seeing that Su Bai was not interested in joining the Alchemist Association, Qin Wu gave up on the idea.
However, Roger’s eyes lit up, and he said, “I told you he was the most talented person. He’s a true genius!”
Roger was boasting, which made Su Bai a little embarrassed.
Although Roger was telling the truth, Qin Wu was not willing to accept that.
“This is Yan Xuan. He is also extremely talented. It’s meaningless for the two of us to argue here. We’ll know after the competition tomorrow!”
Su Bai did not say anything because he was not interested in the bet.
“You must know that tomorrow’s competition concerns the entire country. The provocation from Murica was really annoying,” said Qin Wu.
As the few of them were talking, the waiter served the dishes they had ordered.
But Qin Wu kept sizing Su Bai up.
“Of course you haven’t seen Yan Xuan’s talent. There was once a book on Alchemy that took me seven days to study thoroughly. This boy took five days to comprehend everything,” said Qin Wu.
Roger merely pursed his lips. He really wanted to say that Su Bai could learn two difficult books in two days.
However, this matter was so ridiculous that even if Roger told others, no one would believe him.
Roger listened to his old rival praising Yan Xuan and was very unconvinced.
Then, Roger snorted coldly, “Just watch. You’ll know how powerful you are tomorrow!”
At the same time, Roger patted Su Bai’s shoulder and said, “Remember, you must give it your all tomorrow.”
Su Bai smiled without saying anything. He thought, ‘Naturally, I had to refine based on whatever was given to me tomorrow.’
However, Su Bai remembered something and asked, “Will there be a surveillance camera watching the whole time in the competition tomorrow?”
Qin Wu smiled after Su Bai said that.
“Not only are there surveillance cameras, but it’s also a live broadcast. The competition this time is supervised by those who have an interest in Alchemy from all over the world,” said Qin Wu.
It was to prevent the participants from cheating in the hall. At the same time, if someone was strong enough, they could even be hired by some organization on the spot.
Many who wanted to participate in the competition were waiting for this opportunity. An organization might not be a country, but it could also be an international class.
Su Bai did not mind participating in the competition. He just felt that it would be easy since there were surveillance cameras.
‘It seemed that the upcoming competitions would only be stricter.’ Su Bai thought.
Then, Su Bai enjoyed the meal to his heart’s content.
Of course, Yan Xuan was similar to Zhang Yan. He just kept eating, trying to reduce his presence.
However, Qin Wu really liked Yan Xuan very much. He kept mentioning his name every three sentences.
Other than Qin Wu’s fondness for Yan Xuan, Roger was also serious.
After the meal, the others did not say anything. On the other hand, Roger and Qin Wu did not stop.
When they were about to part ways, Yan Xuan walked up to Su Bai and said, “Throughout the meal, I heard that you are talented. I hope you won’t be prejudiced against me because of Yan Ci. I would like to be friends with you.”
Su Bai raised his eyebrows and sized Yan Xuan up.
Su Bai heard Yan Ci’s name from Yan Xuan’s words. Su Bai believed that it should have nothing to do with Yan Xuan.
However, after hearing it this time, Su Bai was actually a little surprised. He asked, “What about Yan Ci?”
Yan Xuan shrugged helplessly and said, “I’m his illegitimate son. He killed my mother back then. Right in front of me.”
Su Bai was stunned. He thought that the other party was going to put on some kind of sad show with him, such as avenging his loved ones. In the end, the outcome was not what he expected.
“It’s fine. As long as you come to provoke me, I won’t provoke you,” Su Bai said and wanted to leave.
However, Su Bai was stopped by Yan Xuan after taking a few steps.
“If I do well in the competition tomorrow, would you consider becoming friends?” Yan Xuan asked.
Su Bai looked at Yan Xuan’s expression. At least from his expression, there was nothing fake.
But Su Bai had a very strict definition of friends. He replied, “We’ll talk after that.”
After Su Bai said that, he walked past Yan Xuan and left.
Yan Xuan seemed to be indifferent and walked straight to Qin Wu. After all, the two of them had come together.
Qin Wu glanced at Yan Xuan and asked, “What did you two talk about?”
Yan Xuan still had that faint smile on his face and said, “I want to see if my results are good enough to attract people who are equally outstanding to be my friend.”
Qin Wu rubbed Yan Xuan’s hair lovingly.
Roger shook his head helplessly when the two of them disappeared in front of him. He said, “I knew Su Bai would win tomorrow.”
Zhang Yan smiled and said, “Did you just bet on Su Bai?”
“How can Alchemy be used on a bet?” Roger asked as he clicked his tongue.
Zhang Yan smiled helplessly.
Meanwhile, in Murica.
“Is this the base?”
“The facilities aren’t that good. They say that this country looks poorer than us. So it’s true?”
“I’m dying of laughter. This place is really simple and crude. If it weren’t for the fact that they’re poor and can’t play in our country, we wouldn’t have come to their place!”
“I heard that Heavencraft City is not bad. But, it is just that.”
“Can Heavencraft City compare to our Deepsea Palace?”
“I wonder if tomorrow’s competition will be fair in such a place.”
The group of people muttered. They were currently in the resting area arranged by the competition center.
Harrison looked around in disgust and said, “No way, this place can’t even compare to the Yadi family. I thought the Yadi family was weaker.”
After saying that, the Paris family was dissatisfied.
“Harrison, if you don’t know how to talk, then shut your mouth. No matter what, the Yadi family was once at its peak, and your family is just a nouveau riche!”
At least in the eyes of these families, one was to compete in survival time, and the other was to compete in strength.
The Yadi family had existed for 300 years, and the Harrison family had only been there for 50 years. However, the perception between the two was naturally incomparable.
It could be said that other than those resources, the Yadi family’s strength was not outstanding among the many families.
