Chapter 256: First Competition (2/2)

The group started to quickly answer the questions, and by 20 minutes mark, most of them had already handed their answer.

Getting a wrong answer deducted points, so many didn't want to take the chances and stuck with what they had written. Soon, the competition was over.

The group stayed where they were as they waited for the competition holders to tally the result.

”The result is ready. You all did well, and some exceptionally well. The pill had exactly 17 ingredients, you people, in total, managed to figure out all of them,” the woman said.

”As for the result, we will now announce the top 3. The top 3 people who successfully answered the most ingredients, starting with the 3rd place is…”

”Wan Li, from Hong Wu sect, who managed to get exactly 28 points.”

Wan Li's face drooped in slight disappointment when he heard that he was in third place.

”In the second place is… Fan Ruogang, from Hong Wu sect as well, managed to get exactly 29 points.”

Fan Ruogang's eyes opened wide when she learned that she was in 2nd place.

”As for the first place, it is none other than, Huang Fu from Royal Fu Academy, who scored exactly 31 points. The rest of the results are on the board,” the woman said as a ranking screen appeared behind her.

”Huang Fu, is that supposed to be someone famous?” Alex asked.

”Yes, he is the Royal Alchemist's direct disciple. Considering that he got 31 points, he must've made a mistake on the final ingredient. What terrifying talent to know that there were exactly 17 ingredients in the pill,” Ma Rong said.

Alex wished he could be that great of an alchemist soon. It seemed he had to forget about everything else and focus solely on cultivating and making pills now.

After returning back to the sect, he doubted he would have anything else to do, so he would have a lot of time.

'Oh, I will have to go back to the tiger sect as well. That's gonna cause a lot of problems,' Alex thought.

He was a little worried about that. Wan Li and Fan Ruogang returned back to the seating area.

”I'm sorry sect leader, I couldn't do better,” Wan Li said in a sad tone.

”Are you kidding me? You only got 1 less correct than me, and I'm used to playing such games. Why do you keep talking down on yourself? She said as she patted his back a little too strongly.

”She is correct. You did well, far better than I would have expected honestly. Come and sit now, the rest of the competition is continuing,” Ma Rong said.
