77 Chapter 77: The Difficult Tes (2/2)

With the large crowd of the city, the betting booths earnings skyrocketed.

”Hahahaha, I'm pretty sure that the Child Strategist would be the one to dominate this year's Noble Test!”

”No way, the one who will dominate is the Alchemisy Prodigy of the Alchemy Academy!”

”Hahaha, you are both wrong! The one who will acquire the first rank would be Sir Riki Panther!””

”What fallacy! I bet that the one who is going to place first is Wonder Child!”

The crowd raised their voices as they defended the person they are rooting for. They would immediately bet the name of the geniuses that they thought would assure them victory. The bets for Alchemist Asiel was first as it reached the ratio of 1:1, followed by Riki with 1:2 bets.The next was Child Strategist with 1:5 and Wonder Child with 1:7.

The bets from more than 10,000 people accumulated to such wealth that it brought unimaginable income to the businesmen who set up betting booths.

”Hahaha, Alchemist Asiel is in the lead in the betting boards! Hahaha.” An unbridled youth from the Alchemy Academy unrightfully bragged.

”Urrr, don't get too cocky kid! It's just some betting game! Our Sir Riki will surely be the first and even obtain the Extreme Thundercloud Technique!” A supporter of Riki defended.

”Hahaha, how pitiful! Our Alchemy Prodigy has talents no less than the number 1 in the Red Cloud State, Victor Thunder! It's already a given that he would be the one to reign supreme in this generation! Hahaha!” Another supporter of Alchemist Asiel disdainfully said.

”That's sophistry!” A man accused.

”That's right! Being talented in Alchemy, doesn't necessarily mean that he can overcome the gap between the experience of reading records and books! In my opinion, he's just being overconfident that he thinks he can pass the exam with flying colors like how the young Thunder Emperor did. Sir Riki on the other hand prepared meticulously for this day in order to achieve the Extreme Thundercloud Technique!” A brave youth forcefully said.

”Heh, it's laughable how ignorant you are! Clearly, you don't know that our Alchemy Prodigy has already reached the Awakened Spirit Realm! Not only that, he was also able to attain the Alchemy Sight!” An Alchemy Academy elder could not help but interject due to the youth's clam.

”What?!” The entire crowd was shocked when they heard the elder's claim especially the youth. They all look aghast and dumbfounded while their mouths formed an ”o” shape.

It was one thing reaching the Awakened Spirit Realm at the age of 13-14. That itself was almost an impossibility. Now, an additional feat, even more terrifying than the first was revealed to them! Alchemist Asiel has attained the legendary Alchemy Sight!

Alchemy Sight is an ability gained by being a heaven blessed talents and is unacannilly similar to the Heavenly Eyes of Mystical Magnates. If Mystical Magnatism have Magna Magnates, then Alchemy have Primal Alchemist!

Alchemy Sight have similar effects. The only difference is that it is more focused on pill refinement and concoction. It enables the alchemist to see the subtle and minute transformation of the medicine being refined at slower speed and at a near-molecular level. Being blessed with such sight, begets success rate upto 30% better than an original alchemist!

Instead of energy from spirit beasts, it can enable the user to see medicinal strength and compatibility. It has the similar effects of enhancing the five basic senses. But the most amazing ability gained from a mastered Alchemy Sight, is the manipulation of spirit energy that could act as a supplement to hasten the rate of growth of any herb and even cause transformations, evolutions, and even mutations! Every known Alchemist to have been granted by such a heaven defying ability have either become Alchemy Saints or Alchemy Emperor.

There was another known benefit that it gives to its user and it is heightened mental faculties and processing functions. This would enable them to easily remember and save any book, ancient records or any type of documents into their minds they read as though they were moving flashdrives.

That is why such revelation caused great shock to the crowd gathered outside of the Noble Test Center.

”I guess the first place would undoubtedly go to Alchemist Asiel, huh?” The supporters of Riki Panther dejectedly said.

As the crowd was shocked by such revelation, a group of 16 made their way to the betting booths. Due to their artival, the businessman awoke from shock and entertained his guests.

”Oh, young lords and ladies, you must be here to bet. Who would you like to bet on?” The businessman called Old Weller sheepishly smiled while he rubbed his hands together.

”Yup, we'll bet 10 gold coins each for Dylan Ford placing first.” The confident young man said. If Dylan was here, he would be able to recognize this young man he was. None other than Roland!

This type of statement even though spoken in a casual manner, reverberated to the ears of the currently silent crowd andthis inadvertently caused countless eyes to fall upon the small gourp of people by the betting booth of Old Weller.
