Lower Academy Island, Alchemy faculty's mountaintop, square.
At that moment, there were many people around. Everyone's gazes were focused on the central square where Zhou Xiaoya and Chen Fei were refining pills. Both of them were very beautiful. Watching them refine pills seemed to have a special charm to them, especially when the various herbs danced in their hands. It seemed to set off their silhouettes, making them look very colorful.
The Cloud Breath Pill assessment was already halfway through and was about to come to an end. Be it Zhou Xiaoya or Chen Fei, it was obvious that they had already familiarized themselves with refining pills many times before this. At that moment, they were moving smoothly without any hesitation. Very quickly, they followed the pill formula and threw in the herbs according to the order. As the furnace fire rose, they began the final segment.
"They have reached the step of forming the pills! Chen Fei is indeed a senior student who has immersed herself in alchemy for many years. Her technique is perfect and smooth. Watching her refine pills is like a piece of art! "
"I didn't expect that Zhou Xiaoya's technique would be on par with Chen Fei's even though she seemed ordinary in the Alchemy faculty!"
"There are many steps to refining pills. There can't be any deviation in any of the steps. Otherwise, the deviation will be magnified during the pill formation segment and lead to failure!"
The discussions around them slowly spread out. Zhou Xiaoya's forehead was drenched in sweat. She was panting slightly, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. Occasionally, she would look at Chen Fei with anger in her eyes.
Chen Fei also noticed Zhou Xiaoya's gaze. Her expression was as usual, without the slightest ripple. It seemed that in her opinion, she did not think that she had done anything wrong. Since it was not Zhou Xiaoya's original work, it was also her own good fortune to hand it over to the sect.
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not taking good care of it. It has nothing to do with me!" Chen Fei smiled faintly. Her eyes were filled with confidence. She ignored Zhou Xiaoya and focused on refining pills.
Seeming to be able to sense Chen Fei's thoughts, Zhou Xiaoya felt wronged in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't be distracted. Thus, she took a deep breath and stared at the pill furnace. As time passed, the two people's medicinal pills were about to reach the stage of opening the furnace.
Even the Chancellor and the elder from the Alchemy Pavilion were watching intently. At this moment … Zhou Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, but she still raised her right hand and opened the cauldron before it was time to open. Amidst the shocked gasps of the crowd, Zhou Xiaoya flicked her right hand and threw something into the cauldron.
This scene immediately caused the surrounding people to be shocked. Chen Fei was even more surprised and bewildered, but she didn't have time to think too much about it. Along with the extinguishing of the flames of the two people's pill furnaces, the pill furnaces suddenly shook, and a medicinal fragrance was immediately released from the exhaust holes around the pill furnaces.
Looking closely, large amounts of white gas were being emitted from the small holes around the two pill furnaces. The medicinal fragrance was even stronger, spreading in all directions. When the surrounding people smelled it, they were all moved.
"This pill can actually cause my body to absorb spiritual energy?! I didn't circulate my cultivation technique, but it actually absorbed it automatically? "
"Oh my god, this Cloud Breath Pill is incredible. I feel as if the meridians in my body are itching. There's actually spiritual energy entering and merging into my meridians!"
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Zhou Xiaoya and Chen Fei acted almost at the same time. They pressed on the pill furnaces, and instantly, the pill furnaces opened. When the fragrance spread even more widely, the medicinal pills that were refined in their respective pill furnaces were revealed.
"Both of you, step back!" Vice Chancellor Gao Quan said calmly. He stepped forward and personally took out the two pills, holding them in his hands at the same time. However, compared to the crimson red Cloud Breath Pill refined by Chen Fei, Zhou Xiaoya's Cloud Breath Pill was slightly black. From its appearance, it seemed somewhat inferior.
Looking at her own pill and then looking at the one refined by Chen Fei, Zhou Xiaoya had a complicated look in her eyes. Chen Fei, on the other hand, had a disdainful smile on her face.
Gao Quan's expression was as usual. At that moment, he was holding the two pills. The spiritual energy in his body spread out and merged into the pills, as if he was sensing them. Very quickly, he withdrew his spiritual energy. Ignoring the nervous Zhou Xiaoya and Chen Fei, he turned his head towards the Chancellor and the Elder from the Alchemy Pavilion, cupped his fists, and bowed.
"Chancellor, Elder, I have already done a preliminary examination of these two pills. Chen Fei's pill has a purity of around fifty percent. As for Zhou Xiaoya's pill, its purity is only thirty percent. I hope that Chancellor and Elder can reexamine it!" When Gao Quan spoke, the commotion that had originally calmed down erupted once again.
"One is fifty percent, the other is thirty percent!"
"This difference is too big. Could it be that the pill formula was really created by Chen Fei?"
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Chen Fei revealed a smile on her face. When she looked at Zhou Xiaoya, she was extremely pleased. On the other hand, Zhou Xiaoya's expression was gloomy. Tears welled up in her eyes. She ignored Chen Fei and looked towards the Elder from the Alchemy Pavilion, as if she wanted to make a final confirmation.
At the same time, the Chancellor raised his eyebrows as if he was a little surprised. He looked towards the Elder from the Alchemy Pavilion beside him. This Elder had white hair and looked benevolent. At that moment, there was a strange look in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have noticed something and looked towards the sky.
Almost at the same time, the Chancellor also raised his head. He immediately saw that in the sky, there was a cruiser whistling towards them at an extremely fast speed. In an instant, it had reached the peak of the Alchemy faculty!
The appearance of the cruiser immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd. However, before they could clearly see the figure in the cruiser, a familiar angry voice suddenly exploded in the center of the square.
"Gao Quan, you're really asking for a beating. How dare you still cause trouble?" The moment the angry roar was heard, Wang Baole's figure leaped down from the cruiser and charged towards Gao Quan at lightning speed.
Gao Quan's expression changed. Before he could say anything, Wang Baole had already appeared in front of him in an instant, throwing a punch. Spirit energy exploded, and suppressive force spread out. Coupled with Wang Baole's strong physical body and his control of Spirit Qi both internally and externally, the punch formed a hurricane. Amidst the loud boom, Gao Quan was completely unable to withstand it. His entire body retreated, like a kite with a broken string, and he fell into the distance, spitting out blood.
"Wang Baole!!" Gao Quan's expression was contorted as he let out a shrill roar. He felt wronged and his mood was extremely bad. However, just as he spoke, Wang Baole had already closed in again with an angry roar and kicked out.
Gao Quan wanted to resist, but Wang Baole was already on par with him when they were in the Ancient Martial Arts. Now that he was in the True Breath realm, he was completely no match for Wang Baole. Even if he wanted to cast a spell, it was too late. With a roar, his body was kicked up by Wang Baole. Then, with another punch, he landed in front of the crowd.
At this moment, the surrounding crowd reacted and exclaimed in shock.
"Head Prefect Wang!"
"Head Prefect Wang is back!!"
"He's too strong. He's beating up the Vice-Chancellor!"
"He's indeed the Head Prefect!!"
Not only were the surrounding people shocked, even Chen Fei's breathing quickened and her heart trembled. Wang Baole was too famous in the Lower Academy Island. Now that he had returned, he was too brutal. Even the Chancellor had a headache. He was about to stop him, but he was stopped by the elder from the Alchemy Pavilion.
In his astonishment, the Chancellor looked at the elder from the Alchemy Pavilion. He realized that not only was the elder not disgusted, he was also looking at Wang Baole with interest. Hence, he did not stop him.
Liu Daobin and the rest were equally excited. Needless to say, Zhou Xiaoya was in the square. The moment Wang Baole appeared, her heart was no longer uneasy. It was as if she had suddenly found support.
Everything happened too quickly. From Wang Baole's arrival to beating up Gao Quan, it all happened in an instant. At this moment, before Gao Quan could get up, Wang Baole appeared in front of him again in a flash. He grabbed Gao Quan's hair. As Gao Quan screamed, he was dragged by Wang Baole to where the Chancellor was.
When he passed by Chen Fei, she trembled and subconsciously took a few steps back as if she was avoiding a ferocious tiger. Wang Baole glared at her with disdain. Dragging the screaming Gao Quan, he looked at the Chancellor, who was having a headache. He first lowered his head and bowed, then spoke loudly.
"Chancellor, this Gao Quan is causing trouble and obstructing justice. It's obvious that he tampered with the elixir competition this time!"
"I didn't, I …" Gao Quan's scalp was hurting. When he heard Wang Baole's words, he felt extremely wronged and immediately cried out.
"Shut up! It was you who did it, you evil man. I know you too well! " Wang Baole glared at him and kicked him hard. Gao Quan screamed again, his heart about to explode. That feeling of being wronged drove him crazy. Although he had schemed against Wang Baole many times before, whether it was expelling him from school and never enrolling him again, or cooperating with Lin Tianhao's pursuit of Chi Yun, or even canceling Wang Baole's spot later on, he had not done it this time.
On one hand, the Chancellor and the Elders were watching. On the other hand, he was really afraid of Wang Baole and didn't want to provoke him.
But he didn't expect that the first time in his career that he encountered justice would be misunderstood and even beaten up like this. In that moment, he was extremely angry and felt that the world had turned dark. He couldn't help but roar at Wang Baole.
"Wang Baole, it really wasn't me this time, it really wasn't me!"
His voice was filled with grievance. Wang Baole was also stunned for a moment after hearing it. In reality, he didn't have any evidence, but when he saw Gao Quan, he instinctively felt that this guy wasn't a good person and must have been the one causing trouble.
"Could it be that I misunderstood him? It's fine, if he was wrong then so be it. Anyway, he has done many bad things! "Wang Baole coughed dryly and ignored Gao Quan, speaking loudly to the Chancellor.
"Chancellor, this evil man affected the assessment just now. It's not fair. I suggest that we conduct the assessment again."
