Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Saint Heir of the Divine Temple (3)_1

After observing the competitors on his side, Dugu Qianye then turned his attention to the others and found that there was also one person who was refining a Grade 4 Elixir. Judging from the position where he stood, he was a contestant from the Glei Empire. However, as long as no one exceeded Grade 5, Mo Feng was certain to take first place. As for the other four, it would depend on their performance.

"Do you think the Mors Empire is going to turn things around this year? All five of them actually made it to the finals!"

"Yeah, I heard from a friend who went to watch the battle area that the Mors Empire also has more people advancing this year than before."

"The same goes for the Refining Zone. There are at least more from the Mors Empire than from the Gabina Empire. In the past, it was always the Mors Empire at the bottom."

"Tch tch, looks like the Mors Empire really put in a lot of effort!"

The spectators in the stands were abuzz with discussion, and time quickly slipped away amid everyone’s talks. The six people who were refining Grade 3 Elixirs all completed their task in succession, placed the Elixirs on the table, and stood aside to watch those refining Grade 4 Elixirs. It was not often that one had the chance to watch alchemists of a higher level practice their craft. Perhaps they could gain some insight themselves!

Mo Feng and the other three were not hurried by the completion of the others’ alchemy and continued to refine their Elixirs at an unhurried pace. The judges below nodded in approval, as with their expertise, they naturally recognized that the Elixirs being refined were Grade 4. Although it becomes harder to increase the grade later on, if they could refine Grade 4 Elixirs at this age, there’s no telling how high they would reach in the future! The highest they had achieved so far was only Grade 6.

With the passage of time, Liu Shang and the other two completed their refinements, leaving only Mo Feng. Soon it was Mo Feng’s turn to solidify the pills. Dugu Qianye saw that he was quite familiar with refining Grade 4 Elixirs and would be able to challenge Grade 5 soon, but his Phantom Power level might not be enough to keep up during the solidification process.

"Bang bang, bang bang."

As Mo Feng injected his Phantom Power into the Pill Furnace, a series of collision sounds echoed, striking everyone’s hearts. Then, with a slap on the Pill Furnace, Mo Feng sent all the Elixirs flying out, and before the spectators could react, he had them all bottled in the Jade Bottle.

Everyone craned their necks, eager to know the strength of the last one to finish.

Once all the contestants had finished refining, the judges took the stage to assess the final results.

The outcome was no surprise to Dugu Qianye. Mo Feng’s top-grade Elixirs easily won him first place. Unexpectedly, the second place went to that contestant from the Glei Empire, a Grade 4 Intermediate Level. He Lian and Liu Shang were both of Grade 4 lower level, but since He Lian refined four Elixirs in one batch, two more than Liu Shang, he secured third place. Liu Shang came in fourth. The other three from the Mors Empire finished seventh, eighth, and tenth respectively.

Having two of the top three from the Mors Empire and five in the top ten was nothing short of shocking! Even after the judges announced the results, everyone was still in disbelief. Especially the best result from the Cangqiong Empire was only in fifth place, which many found hard to accept. But the results were there for all to see, and no one could say anything against them.

The Alchemy competition thus concluded. When the results reached His Majesty Cangqiong, everyone was anxious. They had never seen such an outcome before!

As expected, upon seeing the results, His Majesty Cangqiong’s face immediately soured, but he quickly regained his composure. Handing the results to the main judge, he said, "Announce it."

People in the special stands saw the reaction of His Majesty Cangqiong and guessed that the contest in some zone had ended and that the outcomes were not very favorable for them. The announcement from the main judge confirmed their suspicions.

"Oh my god! Mo Feng took first place! That’s amazing!"

"He Lian secured third place, and we have five people in the top ten!"

"They’re so awesome, haha!"

Those who hadn’t gone to watch the Alchemy contest but were preparing for the team competition began cheering upon hearing the judge’s announcement. Xie Ping couldn’t help but laugh as well. Achieving such results in the Alchemy contest would greatly lessen the pressure in the other competitions.

"Mo Feng, you’re really impressive, to be able to concoct a fourth-grade top-grade elixir. And to think I was worried about you yesterday," Dan Jingtian said, slinging his arm over Mo Feng’s shoulder.

Mo Feng just smiled without answering.

"Just like your sister!" Not getting a response from Mo Feng, Dan Jingtian muttered again. But he didn’t expect to turn his head and see Dugu Qianye squinting at him, and he hurriedly flashed her a big, big smile.

The group returned to the combat zone, where Mo Feng and the others approached Xie Ping and said, "Principal, we have lived up to expectations."

"Hmm. Very good," Xie Ping nodded with rare approval.

With Xie Ping’s praise, He Lian and several others were even more delighted.

"Hmph, it’s just the result of the alchemy competition. Wait until the results of the later events come out and see how you strut then!" someone from the Cangqiong Empire said bitterly, seeing the people from the Mors Empire smiling so brightly.

It wasn’t just the competitors who thought this way; the spectators in the stands felt the same.

As the group competition was nearing its end, the results of the Artifact Refiner contest were also announced. The best result for the Mors Empire was fifth place, with another at ninth. The people of the Glei Empire took first, fourth, and sixth, while the Cangqiong Empire secured second, third, and seventh. The Gabina Empire’s results were the most pitiful, only managing to grab eighth and tenth place. This result was considered normal by everyone. The alchemy competition was an accident, yes, an accident!

The few participants in the Artifact Refining competition returned dejectedly. Seeing everyone looking at them, none dared to lift their heads. Xie Ping glanced at the five of them and said, "It’s alright, their strength is evident. You all should rest as well."

They returned to their seats, and although nobody said anything, they knew they had lagged behind.

After the team competition ended, Dugu Qianye gathered the captains of the four competing teams and Mo Ziqing back at the lodging area and said, "It seems that the advantage we gained in the Alchemy competition is not significant. The results of the Beast Tamer competition are still unknown, and we cannot stake everything on it, so we must achieve an absolute victory in the combat competition."

"So we don’t have to suppress our own strength anymore?" Ye Canglan asked.

"The reason I asked you to suppress your strength previously was not to attract too much attention, to avoid the combined suppression of the other three nations. But the Artifact Refining results were worse than expected, so..."

"Haha, I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. Fighting like that isn’t satisfying at all," Dan Jingtian laughed out loud before Dugu Qianye could finish speaking.

"Right. Let’s all give it our best in the upcoming competitions!"

"Knock, knock,"

As Dugu Qianye finished speaking, a knocking sound came from the door.

Dugu Qianye opened the door and saw a teacher standing outside.

"Teacher, what can I do for you?" Dugu Qianye asked politely.
