C250 Zhou yuns challenge (1/2)

The plaza was packed full of people. Most of them were here to watch the competition. After all, every contestant who could make it to the finals was a genius.

Not long after, someone had successfully refined the Grade One Pill, and the fastest person to do so was shockingly Zhou Yun, who everyone thought would win.

After Zhou Yun finished refining, he looked around at everyone else, and then placed his gaze on Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen locked gazes with Zhou Yun, and in the end, Zhou Yun slowly shifted his gaze away.

Following that, another person succeeded. In a short while, all ten people had completed their refining.

The lowest of the ten people present were Secondary alchemists. To them, Grade One Pill s and Strength Gathering Pill s were nothing at all.

The deacon elder placed the pills for each of the ten people into a small bottle. Then, he marked them down and sent them to the audit team for approval by the elders of the audit team.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the examination team's elders to review the pills. The ten pills were arranged in a row. After the examination group's elders looked at the pills, they began to exchange their opinions.

”Hello everyone, after the verification from the chief elder, now that the results have been obtained, let me announce that the one who obtained the championship is Zhou Yun.” The deacon elder laughed and said.

As expected, everyone thought that Zhou Yun had the highest chance of winning, and it was natural for him to do so.

Immediately after, the Enforcer Elder announced the names of the other places, but Zhou Yun had already overshadowed all of their light.

After all, Zhou Yun was a talent groomed by the Alchemist Association. The higher Zhou Yun's achievements were, the happier the people from their Alchemist Association would be.

”Not bad, your technique is very good and very stable.” Ye Xingchen also had a very high evaluation of Zhou Yun.

”Haha, I already said that Zhou Yun would definitely get first place. Look, Zhou Yun got first place without any suspense.”

”En, Zhou Yun is really powerful. He was the first to succeed in the refinement process, and he even won the championship without any suspense. As expected of a talent that the Alchemist Association nurtured with all their might.”

”Zhou Yun has yet to pass Pill Tower, if only he could pass Pill Tower, I wonder if he could surpass Ye Xingchen, I heard that Ye Xingchen is also a Third Level alchemist.”

”I don't think so. Ye Xingchen reached the ninth level of Pill Tower after all. Even if he's a genius, he shouldn't be able to compare to Ye Xingchen.”

The people on the plaza were discussing, all of them were listening to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun stood on the plaza, and faintly looked at Ye Xingchen.

Since Zhou Yun's debut, he had always been a genius in the eyes of others. But at this moment, Zhou Yun heard about the matter regarding Ye Xingchen and him, and most importantly, many people said that Zhou Yun was stronger than him.

This made the prideful Zhou Yun feel uncomfortable. He looked at Ye Xingchen with a burning gaze in his eyes.

”Next, I would like to invite the first ranker of this year's Alchemy Competition, Zhou Yun, onto the stage.” The deacon elder laughed as he looked at Zhou Yun, and said loudly.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yun in unison. Under everyone's envious gazes, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the stage.

”Zhou Yun, you have won the championship this time, is there anything you want to say to everyone?” The clan elder looked at Zhou Yun who was beside him, and laughed as he spoke.

Zhou Yun nodded, then said: ”I do indeed have something I want to say.”

Zhou Yun was about 1.7 meters tall and there was a trace of a confident smile on his skinny face. The corners of his mouth curled up as he surveyed the crowd before shifting his gaze onto Ye Xingchen.

”Thank you everyone for your support. When I became the champion of today's Alchemy Tournament, I want to say one thing, and that is, I want to challenge our genius Ye Xingchen here.” Zhou Yun said loudly, his eyes staring straight at Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen, who was talking to the two Assembly Masters, was a little stunned when he heard that Zhou Yun wanted to challenge him. Then, he looked towards Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun's eyes carried a trace of provocation, and stared at Ye Xingchen: ”Ye Xingchen, I want to challenge you, do you dare to accept?”

At this moment, the crowd in the plaza was in an uproar, they had never thought that Zhou Yun would actually want to challenge Ye Xingchen.

Zhou Yun and Ye Xingchen were both prodigies, but it seemed that Zhou Yun's reputation was not as good as Ye Xingchen's.

”Zhou Yun wants to challenge Ye Xingchen? Although he was able to become the champion of this year's Alchemy Tournament, he is still no match for Ye Xingchen. ”

”You have to know, Ye Xingchen is also a Third Level Alchemist. Furthermore, he has charged into the ninth floor of the Pill Tower. This is not something that Zhou Yun can compare to.”

”That's right, there's basically no possibility for Zhou Yun to defeat Ye Xingchen.”

Many people were supporting Ye Xingchen and did not think highly of him, but there were still many people who were optimistic about him. After all, Zhou Yun's strength was just there.

”You can't put it like that. Zhou Yun is after all, a Third Level alchemist, and he still has some power. Although Ye Xingchen has tried to break through the ninth floor of the Pill Tower, we have never seen him concocting pills before.”
