Chapter 274: Third Day (2/2)

Alex saw the disciple and saw that he was the second place holder for yesterday's speed pill-making competition. 'If I remember correctly, his name was Han Long I believe,' Alex thought.

Han Long tried to talk with Wan Li, trying to ask him if he was going to participate today and if so what pill he was going to make today.

Wan Li was naturally very shy and thus didn't answer any questions at all, which the boy thought was rude. He didn't realize that Wan Li was simply like this and he wasn't trying to intentionally be rude towards him.

He then moved on to Zhou Mei and tried to strike up a conversation, but she was naturally coded to everyone aside from the elders, Wan Li, and Fan Ruogang.

Seeing that they weren't responding, Han Long returned back to his group.

”Hey, why didn't he try to talk with me? Rude. Does he not know that I am the third-best in the sect?” Fan Ruogang said acting as if she was insulted.

Everyone in the group laughed a little, including Ma Rong. ”You can show them how good you are tomorrow, Fanfan,” Ma Rong said.

”Yes, Sect Leader,” Fan Ruogang said and was back to her cheery self.

Soon, they reached the coliseum and entered it. As a sect, they could directly skip the queue to enter and could go to the arena to look at today's competitions.

The host, Fu Zhen was there once more to tell them about today's theme, Perfection. He let them know the criteria based on what the results would be set and what being perfect meant in general.

In simple terms, the higher the grade of the produced product was, the better. He then showed a list of competitions for today.

As expected, Alchemy's competition was the Highest Harmony pill making. Ma Rong made a few more people take up different other competitions. While she didn't expect much from them, she still hoped to get a few stray points here and there.

However, her hope for today's competition was still with Alex and Wan Li.

”Alright, let's go register you lot,” she said and took the disciples that had taken part in some of the competition, while the rest of them went to their predetermined seating area.

Along the way, he was the Tiger sect too, but the only one he knew from that group was Meng Yun, and she was too far away to strike up a conversation.

Once Wan Li's turn was done, he walked forward to the metal ball and picked it up before infusing some Qi into it.

They made the participants do it every day to keep track of their turns, as well as to see if there were some random jumps in cultivation which would mean that someone was probably doing something illegal.

Alex told her his name and that he was going to take part in the alchemy competition at 10 o'clock. Once everyone was registered, the group returned back to the seating area.
