Chapter 216: Chapter 216- Song Zhen

"I see tier 3 pills huh... hehe"

When he told the staff that he was capable of refining tier 3 pills, they simply laughed off his answer. It was obvious that they did not believe him.

"Ah, last question, were you referred to come here and give the exam by someone or are you here on your own will?"

Clearly, this question was to probe who his backing or to say his master was. Since he did not have any master or backing, he chose to stay silent once again.

If he had to mention someone as his Alchemy master, then it would be the Great Sage Emperor whose diary helped him to get the divine skill [The Great Sage Emperor’s Pill Vision]. However, even he knew better than to say that name.

Soon, the staff led him in front of the hallway, where a few other people waiting to give the exam, were standing. There were around fifteen of them.

Yang Chen glanced at these people and noticed that all of them were much older than him. Some of them had greying beards while some of them were bald, even the youngest among them was a middle aged man.

They all wore scholarly clothes and held their head high with a dignified expression. Given their appearance, one could easily tell with a single look that they have dedicated their whole life to studying alchemy.

When Yang Chen noticed them, they too noticed him being led over by the staff. However, it was just a passing glance, they went back to doing their own thing once again. All of these people were too prideful to greet or even spare him another glance.

"This is Hall 1 where we hold the examination for Tier 1 entry level alchemists. Please wait here for some time, when the administrators call all of you, you can go in. Your certification exam will then begin"

The staff explained coming in stop in front of the door where the others were also waiting for.

"If I reckon, you should have the ability to take the Tier 3 Alchemist exam" Amon mentioned evaluating his skill.

That was true, Yang Chen turned towards the staff and asked "Can you lead me to the Hall where I can get my Tier 3 Alchemist certification?".

As soon as he uttered those words, it was as if a bomb had been dropped, all eyes from the people waiting around, turned towards him.

"This..." the staff made a distressed face. He didn’t expect Yang Chen to take the joke so far.

"Young master, it is the rule of the Alchemist Association that all new Alchemists must first take the Tier 1 exam. It is only after clearing it that one can go for the higher levels" he explained.

By now, the stares directed at Yang Chen was already filled with spite and malice. There were also those gazes that held part ridicule and part disdain with which they looked at him.

Yang Chen did not bother with such stares, after all, he was already used to being underestimated. However, it looked like a few of the people here didn’t want to just let his comment pass.

As soon as the staff left, one of them came up to Yang Chen with a mocking expression on his face.

"Hey brat, did I hear it correctly? Did you just say to that staff that you want to take the Tier [3] Alchemist exam?".

Yang Chen nodded his head, it was what he said.

"Hahahaha" All of a sudden the man started laughing at his answer. He had a square shaped face and a pot belly with a short stature. So when he laughed, the fats on his body also jiggled making for quite a funny sight.

"Haha... everyone did you hear that? This brat who still reeks of his mother’s milk, wants to go for the Tier 3 exam" His words made all the Alchemist laugh.

Being the hot blooded youth he was, Yang Chen was instantly offended at that comment. Especially when somebody brought out the topic of his mother who died in an accident in his previous life.

"Control yourself, this is not a place to fight. Remember you are here to get your alchemist certification, not to make more enemies. You have already gotten yourself in trouble earlier, if you make a scene here too, you will not be able to get out of the Yan City"

"Calm down for now, don’t let them get into your head. An alchemist fights using Alchemy and not with their fists. You have the divine skill with you, which means that you can slap their faces with your alchemy skills later" Amon his partner/nanny quickly calmed him down.

Right, Yang Chen took a deep breath to forget about that remark. His heightened sense of hearing quickly picked up a few tidbits of hushed conversation going around.

"Hey look, Song Zhen is at it again. He is trying to crush the spirit of a younger generation once again"...

"How many times has it been already that he is appearing for the Tier 1 exam?"...

"I heard that he has failed for nine consecutive times and that this is his tenth attempt"...

"What really? I guess the Song clan is very rich since they can incur so much expenses for him"...

"Shhh... hush it down, or else he will hear you. I heard that he is a very vindictive person, taking revenge for even the smallest of offences".

From these people, Yang Chen understood that the pot bellied man in front of him was called Song Zhen and that he had the reputation of a failure who repeatedly failed to pass the Tier 1 alchemist exam.

Furthermore, he was a small man who couldn’t take other people looking down on him and that he liked demoralising new people who came to take the exam.Talk about having a despicable personality. Since he can’t pass, he likes to pull others down with him.
