Chapter 170 (1/2)

The Position (2)

“It’s an alchemy trick.If you talk into it, you’ll have a deeper voice,” Ye Lang gave a very good explanation, allowing Coldblood Five to reply calmly.

Coldblood Five knew the rest wouldn’t pursue further. They wouldn’t ask what it was, nor would they ask who she was testing it with. They wouldn’t be interested.

She was right.

“Oh, alright!” Coldblood Two and the rest nodded, satisfied with the explanation to weird noises coming from her body. If nothing peculiar happened, they wouldn’t suspect a thing.

“Alright, we’re done here. You idiot, stop talking!” Coldblood Five flicked at Ye Lang.

He nodded, zipping his lips with a hand, showing he would keep quiet.

She fell silent, then shook her head. She hoped he’d remember, or he’d start shouting again.

Bang!

Boom!

Crack!

The four remaining contestants attacked the obsidian boulder with all the power they had to leave marks. Some used tools, some used alchemy formations while the rest used alchemy chemicals.

They each were good in their own way. Coldblood Five-Two-Zero, the smallest one, seemed to be the most powerful, leaving the deepest scar in the boulder. She was using the chemicals.

It was a chemical that could eat into the rock, resembling sulphur. If it could leave a deep mark on obsidian, anything else would’ve been eaten right through. If anyone met touched it, they’d probably be finished.

This was a surprise. No one expected her to have the best results, although she only used a chemical.

In the next stage, the contestants were glancing at each other, waiting for someone to make the first attempt. That way, they would have a little more experience watching the effects, having a better advantage. However, in the middle, there was a short person squatting before the symbol. It was Coldblood Five-two-zero again, studying the symbol closely.

The Coldblood Group wasn’t that big, so you can imagine how low her position is in the group. You can imagine no one was expecting much when they saw her enter the competition.

Perhaps it was because of this, she didn’t mind going first. She didn’t have much hope anyway.

But then again, if she was a finalist, she’d definitely have some hope!

You can’t qualify based on luck!

It seemed like everyone in the alchemist team had low rankings. They were alchemists, and alchemy skills didn’t score many points within the organisation. Naturally, they had lower rankings.
