Chapter 123 - Alchemy Competition 11
🕑 Added 2024-09-19 07:00:06 +0000 UTC"96.1% purity? Holy! That's almost 5% higher than Norin!"
"Looks like the kid from the Medicine Valley is most likely to win this time Alchemy Competition."
"Not necessarily. If the young lady of the Homun Family can maintain her lead, she might still win. Her first-round points have a big advantage."
"Cheh, why is the advantage from the first round so big? It's just identifying some stupid ingredients. Not fair at all."
"Did you forget already? Elder Godari said this competition is not fair. Who told them to neglect the basics?"
"Ugh....you are right.."
As usual, the audience was discussing the results of the contestants while Elder Godari continued to determine the purity of the essences.
"That's weird. His technique mastery was only around the same level as that Norin lass. How did he obtain higher purity? He must have a secret!" Albert Wood commented curiously.
"President, stop making trouble for us. Even if he has a secret, it's none of our business." The middle-aged elder reminded the troublemaker.
"What? I'm just curious. Ptui."
"Dammit, president! Normal people only faked the spitting. Why are you spitting for real?!"
After showing an arrogant face, Ori Oregano frowned. "That Norin bitch would still be first after this. Dammit, 20 points difference from the first round was huge. What about this Anda Leyan? I still don't know which bitch is this." Ori mumbled.
Anda smiled mischievously. Since Ori had his limelight, it was time to annoy this evil guy again. Anda raised her hand to notify Elder Godari.
"Look look! Madam raised her hand!" Hana excitedly pointed at Anda.
"Hahaha! Look at her smile. This is her evil smile. This means that she had planned something!" Leyvi explained, absolutely familiar with his panda wife.
"Really?" Nala and Selene asked. They had just joined the family recently so they haven't spent much time with Anda yet.
However, the rest of them were familiar with her mischievous smile, so they nodded in agreement.
Tal glanced at Tasya, thinking that she also had adopted her master's mischievous smile and had been doing that more frequently lately.
After assessing another contestant, Elder Godari saw Anda and moved toward her. He had been interested in knowing her refining result because, from his observation, she was the most skilful at using the new techniques.
He looked inside the old cauldron she was using and saw the Thundermelon essence floating in the middle under her containing technique.
Sure enough, I'm not seeing wrong. This girl is extremely talented. How did a small place like the Mountain Dew Sect produce someone like her? They do not even specialize in alchemy over there.
"Anda Leyan, 98.4% purity! Outstanding!" Elder Godari declared.
Anda nodded. It was exactly the purity percentage shown by her Alchemy Vision. Once again, she was amazed by Elder Godari's accuracy.
She had tried her best to follow closely her Alchemy Vision's guidance but she couldn't imitate it perfectly.
In fact, she had never been able to do it perfectly all this time. It was exceedingly difficult. She wondered what would happen if she could perform her alchemy perfectly, according to the Alchemy Vision in the future.
"WHAT????!!!"
The entire audience was shocked. Some of them stood up in disbelief.
That ugly girl is Anda Leyan? Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! I'll kill you! How dare you steal my limelight again! This ugly bitch must have been targeting me purposely!
How did this bitch manage to refine the essence better than me? This doesn't make sense! There's no way my unique physique can lose in refining!
Ori Oregano became extremely enraged by the situation, and his murderous desire was rising.
Anda's Heavenly Fragrance Harmony Body detected the gross smell again and knew it came from Ori, but she didn't look at him, acting normally.
Hmph, this kid is really evil. Just because you lost to me, you want to kill me. How did a young boy like him possess an evil heart like this? This Medicine Valley must not be good either. What healing specialist?
While the audience was still speechless, Anda heard a loud cheer from a direction.
"HAHAHA!! THAT'S MY WIFE! MY LOVELY WIFE IS THE BEST!! GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMY GODDESS ANDA!!" Leyvi was excitedly standing in his seat while cheering for Anda shamelessly.
"GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMY GODDESS ANDA!!" The entire Leyan Family followed Leyvi's example and cheered for Anda happily, including Selene.
Anda blushed. She felt that it had been a while since she last blushed. How can she not? Her man was loudly cheering for her in front of a million people.
Anda felt sweet. She decided to add more slots for her husband's harem member. The more the merrier! Isn't this scene the proof? They were all cheering for me. Maybe I should try the new sexy lingerie Nala designed later.
It's him! This fucker! No wonder she kept annoying me. This ugly bitch is that gigolo's wife!
Dammit! Dammit! I'm going to kill all of them and refine their blood essence!! That bitch Selene too! How dare she reject me!
Ori's expression was quite hideous at this moment, thinking about how to torture and then kill them.
At the same time, the crowd started buzzing again, wanting to know information about Anda.
"Even if her birthmark is a bit ugly, I wouldn't mind much, since she's a great alchemist."
"Keep dreaming! She already has a husband, and he looked much better than your stupid square face."
"What do you say? You think he can compete with my family?"
"Cheh, what a loser. You can't do anything yourself without relying on your family."
At the Goldstone Family seating area, Magnus had a serious expression. A few elders of the family had given him some suggestions and urged him to act fast.
Magnus didn't expect that the situation would escalate this fast. By the looks of it, his son-in-law's wife might be in the top three and get the spots for the Mystic Realm. The elders were urging him to start discussing with Leyvi about the spots as soon as possible.
Magnus decided to wait until the next round. If Anda performs spectacularly in the third round too, he will immediately discuss the Mystic Realm spots.
Magnus sighed. Does his daughter actually have a great vision for people? Seeing his daughter celebrating happily with them, perfectly integrating with their strange vibe, made him relieved.
For the next hour, Elder Godari continuously determines the essence of purity of all the contestants.
"Lars Vomil, 85.4% purity."
"Mia Fafifa, 92.3% purity. Excellent!"
"Sarah Goldstone, 77% purity."
"Amelina, 79.9% purity."
"Natalie Clover, 93.1% purity. Excellent!"
"Victor Goldstone, 82.6% purity."
"Minami Clover, 89.2% purity."
After judging the last contestant, Elder Godari returned to the host podium again.
"Alright, before we rearrange the ranking again, is there anyone who is not convinced with my judgement? You can request to use the purity measurement device. However, if my judgement was correct, you will lose all the points. But if I was wrong, you got double the points." Elder Godari announced with absolute confidence.
Some of the contestants were tempted, but in the end, they didn't dare. Since he dared to do it and even had the guarantee from the president, he would most likely be correct.
Seeing that nobody disagreed with his judgement, Elder Godari was disappointed. No extra entertainment, it seems.
"Thank you for trusting this old man. Since everyone agrees with my discernment, we will proceed with the overall rankings after the second round!" He said while observing the ranking screen, which refreshed a moment later.
1. Norin Homun (100+91.7)= 191.7
2. Anda Leyan (90+98.4)= 188.4
3. Ori Oregano (80+96.1)= 176.1
4. Natalie Clover (70+93.1)= 163.1
5. Mia Fafifa (60+92.3)= 152.3
6. Amelina (70+79.9)= 149.9
7. Asmondol (60+87.9)= 147.9
8. Lars Vomil (60+85.4)= 145.4
9. Victor Goldstone (60+82.6)= 142.6
10. Minami Clover (50+89.2)= 139.2
11. Sarah Goldstone (60+77)= 137
As soon as the ranking refreshed, the Grand Stadium was loud again, with people discussing the current standings.
"Look, someone got kicked out of the top ten! Sarah Goldstone got kicked out by Minami Clover!"
"That girl Mia Fafifa from Longevity Academy had raised in rank again. Maybe she will raise again next round."
"Among the Three Famous Alchemy Family, it seemed that the Goldstone Family is not doing well. Their best alchemist is almost at the bottom of the top ten."
"Nooo, senior sister Amelina's rank dropped. Our Pill Ascension Sect might not be able to get the Mystic Realm spots."
"Sigh....Looks like it would be hard for my nephew Lars to get the spots for our Pill Palace."
"I heard that Ori Oregano kid was like a super genius of the Medicine Valley, but he's only in the third place. What a false advertisement."
At the same time, Leyvi also commented on the ranking happily. "Hahaha! Good! Anda is very close to number one now. Maybe next round she can leap up to the first place."
"Next round should involve full alchemy process, right?" Leyvi wondered.
