135 Aggressive (2/2)

After thanking them personally for the information, Wang Baole sent another voice transmission to console Zhou Xiaoya before he could calm his heart and continue refining the Dharmic Artifacts.

Zhou Xiaoya was touched beyond words, as warmth filled her heart when she heard from Xie Haiyang that Wang Baole had given him a blank check. At the same time, her petite face revealed a never-before-seen look of seriousness and determination.

”I cannot let Brother Baole's Spirit Stones go to waste. I must get the reward and enter Upper Academy Island to refine pills for Brother Baole in the future!”

With a flash of determination in her eyes, Zhou Xiaoya began the process of researching and refining the Cloud Breath Pill.

Time flew by, and a month passed very quickly. At dawn of the fateful day, the sound of the bell reverberated in the Alchemy faculty of the Lower Academy Island.

As the sound of the bell spread, commotion grew in the entire Alchemy faculty. Looking at the students dashing toward the peak of the mountain, Zheng Liang stood outside the cave abode, his eyes filled with emotion and anticipation.

”Who will the reward belong to in the end?” Even though he had lost to Zhao Yameng in the previous assessment and missed the advancement assessment to the mystic realm held by the Dao College after that due to personal reasons, he had not given up as he planned to reapply for the Dao College's major assessment once again this year.

Numerous others, even students from the other faculties, were also thinking about the same thing as Zheng Liang. After all, this was an extremely significant matter to the Lower Academy Island.

Students from each faculty rushed as they assembled at the Alchemy faculty peak with the sound of the bell ringing in the background. They had all wanted to see with their own eyes who the winner would be. A very high proportion of the students were from the Dharmic Armament faculty—even though Wang Baole had entered Upper Academy Island, his influence on the Lower Academy Island had not diminished a single bit. Therefore, many students were hoping that Zhou Xiaoya would emerge victorious.

However, Chen Fei was not one to be belittled either, and thus, her supporters were also aplenty.

As the crowd gathered on the Alchemy faculty peak, the ant-like scores of people were discussing endlessly, spreading furiously in all directions.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the Public Square in the middle, which was now empty except for two girls, each sitting cross legged beside an alchemical cauldron.

Both girls looked extraordinary, despite being a little young. Zhou Xiaoya was now staring at Chen Fei with anger in her eyes. Chen Fei was tall, and even though she was meditating with her legs crossed, her slender, hourglass figure could be seen, which attracted a lot of attention from pairs of eyes filled with passion. However, she was distant and proud, and the more she appeared cold and unapproachable, the more charming she was to the others.

”Zhou Xiaoya will definitely win! The formula belonged to Zhou Xiaoya in the first place!”

”That's difficult to say. I think that it is more likely that the formula belonged to Chen Fei. After all, as a fourth-year senior student, she will have plenty of experience. What's more, she has such a good figure and a beautiful face!”

Amid the discussion, the Chancellors, Vice-Chancellor, and an elder from the Alchemy Pavilion arrived and took their seats in the front row. Instantly, the noise from the crowd simmered down.

The Chancellor and the elder from the Alchemy Pavilion exchanged glances and nodded to each other. Gao Quan, the Vice-Chancellor, then took a deep breath before stepping up to look at Zhou Xiaoya and Chen Fei. When his gaze fell on Zhou Xiaoya, he paused slightly before speaking sternly.

”The refinement assessment of the Cloud Breath Pill begins now!”

Zhou Xiaoya and Chen Fei stood up immediately and began refining the Cloud Breath Pill with all eyes on them!

Instantly, both herbal alchemical cauldrons glowed.

Time crawled, and after half an hour, when the both of them had crossed the half-way mark of the refinement process, Wang Baole, who was in his cave abode on Upper Academy Island, finally produced his hundredth perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifact at this crucial juncture, based on his previous estimation of the time needed.

Wang Baole was agitated as he looked at the palm-sized shield that he had just refined in front of him that was glowing brightly. He stood up, filled with exhilaration.

I have finally succeeded! The timing is just right; Bunny's assessment should still be going on!

Excited, Wang Baole took a deep breath and opened up the voice transmission jade slip to take a look. After confirming that the assessment was still in progress, he immediately walked out of the cave abode and entered the cruiser, dashing straight toward the Lower Academy Island.

It will be fine if Bunny lost on fair grounds. However, if someone creates trouble after she has won, I would love to see for myself who that daring fella is!

Wang Baole stood on the cruiser in midair, a look of ferocity prominent in his eyes as he increased his speed.
