Chapter 291: Fourth Day (2/2)

It seemed a lot of people held the same sentiment as him. Some of the audience members even left their seats and left the coliseum entirely.

”Sigh, the Royal Fu Academy should have made the learning competitions on the 2nd day or the third day and kept yesterday's competition for today. That would've made the competitions much more exciting,” The second elder said.

”Yes, I feel the same way dear. They screwed up really bad this time. Well at least the alchemy competition starts at 9, so we can leave early if we want to,” the third elder said.

Alex nodded when he realized that. Soon the competition on the stage ended and the girls walked onto the stage for the alchemy competition.

Nobody really expected the male disciple to show any amazing performance and only Fan Ruogang and Zhou Mei were what the rest of the sect were focused on.

Alex looked at the stage and saw all the top 3 disciples from the Spring song sect as well as the Twin harmony sect, which was another well-known alchemy sect.

Only the Hong Wu sect didn't send out their A team for today's competition.

”Oh wow, even that guy is there,” someone commented.

Alex looked at the stage and saw Huang Fu, who seemed to be looking around the stage for someone. He walked up to Fan Ruogang and asked something, who replied back.

Huang Fu immediately turned towards the audience and looked at Alex and shook his head in disappointment. 'He must've been looking forward to winning against me today. That's a shame, I would've probably taken part if I could take part in the combat ones as well,' Alex thought.

The competition soon started and the host relayed the basic rules.

The rules were the same as the ones for the other competitions. The only difference this time was that everyone got the ingredients from the staff themselves.

So no one had to bring any on their own.

The regular rules applied and everyone was handed a recipe. Then, the timer started. Each one of them had exactly 60 minutes to learn the recipe and make the pills.

The audience could do nothing but watch them just read the recipe for nearly half an hour, if not more. They needed to memorize every movement, every step before they could hope to make the pill.

The timer was running out, so everyone started making the pills immediately. There wasn't enough time to make multiple pills so they had to rely on this one pill.

The audience was a little surprised when a pill cauldron actually exploded while the person was making their pill. Thankfully, the staff member immediately went and stopped the explosion and sound from spreading.

Slowly, one by one the participants started finishing the pills and started walking to the front to show off their creations.

Fan Ruogang, Zhou Mei, Han Long, and Huang Fu too walked to the front of the stage and started putting their pills into the pill tester one by one.
