Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment. "What risk do I have to take?"
Lin Zhen sneered. "Don't play dumb with me. Do you think that just because you came knocking on my door, I would obediently endure it? You can doubt my ability, but I don't have the time to play with you. You want to compete in fire control? Okay, but what if you lose? Do you want to just leave? "
"Then what do you want?"
"Very simple, pay up! If I lose, I'll close down. If you lose, you have to pay me 100 million! "
Zhao Yan was a little hesitant.
He was a sixth-grade alchemist and believed that his fire control skills were not bad. He dared to bet with Lin Zhen because they believed that Lin Zhen was a fake. It was impossible for him to have high alchemy skills.
But what if their judgment was wrong? What if Lin Zhen was really a Saint-level alchemist?
Wouldn't that be asking for humiliation and disgrace?
Moreover, Lin Zhen asked for an exorbitant price. If he lost, he would have to pay 100 million. This was not a small amount. Although he had a net worth of more than a billion, it would be difficult for him to take out 100 million in cash.
Seeing that Zhao Yan was a little scared, Li Nian said, "Bet with him. But Lin Zhen, since you asked, Zhao Yan is not the only one who wants to bet with you. Boss Ma of the Hanging Pot Hall, me, and my friends all want to experience your alchemy skills. You have to accept all of them."
Lin Zhen's gaze swept across the few people on their side. Zhao Yan and Boss Ma were sixth-grade alchemists. Li Nian was seventh-grade alchemist. There was also a person who was covered in a black robe. His face could not be seen clearly.
Lin Zhen's spiritual power swept over and felt that this person's aura was a little dark. He understood something.
He pondered for a moment. "Is it 100 million for each round?"
Li Nian and the others quietly discussed for a while. In the end, Li Nian said, "No, the price of each round is doubled. If you have the courage, accept it. If you don't, admit that you are a liar. A Saint-level alchemist can't not have the courage to accept our challenge."
With that, he also said to Lin Zhen, "My friend is also a seventh-grade alchemist like me. None of us is a Saint-level alchemist. Do you dare to accept it? But if you lose one round, you will have to close down and get out of the elixir market in Sky City forever! "
Without waiting for Lin Zhen to speak, Klinsmann suddenly became anxious and ran to Lin Zhen's side. "Boss, you can't be fooled. This is obviously a trap. Even a Saint-level alchemist can't be proficient in all alchemy methods. The price of each round is doubled. As long as you win a round, you'll earn back your capital and interest. You can't afford to lose a round!"
. "The shop assistant next to him also said," Yes, boss. This is obviously a scam. You can't be fooled! "
Lin Zhen's supporters also scolded, saying that Li Nian and the others deliberately set up a trap for Lin Zhen. How could there be such an unfair bet?
Each of the four of them would definitely be proficient in a particular alchemy skill. Four against one, the possibility of Lin Zhen losing was too high.
But those who doubted Lin Zhen at this time refuted triumphantly, "What do you know? This kid claims to be a Saint-level alchemist. Do you know the difference between Saint-level and sixth-level alchemists? It's like the difference between a teacher and students. Just because four students asked a question to the teacher, the teacher won't answer it? If he can't answer it, it means that he is a fake teacher! "
"Yes, yes! You don't even dare to accept the challenge of a sixth-level or seventh-level alchemist. How dare you claim to be a Saint-level alchemist? Hurry up and close down! "
A group of people behind followed Li Nian. Obviously, they were organized and their voices were very loud.
Klinsmann and the others' faces were a little pale. Today's matter was not going to end well.
When the scene calmed down, Lin Zhen slowly said, "Since you have thought it through, then sign the contract in the Dimensional Universe. No one can go back on their word!"
This time, it was Li Nian and the others' turn to feel uncertain. They didn't expect Lin Zhen to agree!
This was a little different from their plan. In their plan, Lin Zhen must be a fake Saint-level alchemist.
But now, it was a little difficult to back down. More importantly, they felt that they couldn't lose.
Their plan was very thorough. Even if Lin Zhen really had the strength of a Saint-level alchemist, the possibility of him winning was very small.
Li Nian gritted her teeth. "Hehe! Since you are so bold, then sign it. No one can go back on their word. "
Lin Zhen, Li Nian, Zhao Yan, Matthew, and another black-robed man named Lalati, the five of them collectively signed the contract.
Lin Zhen was on one side, and the other four were on the other side. Both sides were betting on alchemy skills. Li Nian's side proposed the content of the bet. The bet for the first round was 100 million, and the amount for each subsequent round would be doubled!
The second round was 200 million, the third round was 400 million, and the fourth round was 800 million!
In the process, if Lin Zhen lost one round, the money he won would be returned, and the Golden Pill Workshop would close down!
The few of them signed and the bet was established. It was impossible for anyone to go back on their word.
The onlookers moved away from the middle of the hall, leaving a space for them.
Like every big event, the scene of the bet between the two sides began to be broadcasted live, and it quickly became a hot topic.
Countless people left comments. It could be imagined that if Lin Zhen won this bet, then he would instantly gain a foothold in the alchemy industry in Sky City and occupy the commanding position. No one else would be able to compete with him.
Zhao Yan was the first to walk out.
Facing Lin Zhen, Zhao Yan said confidently, "Lin Zhen, I want to compete with you on fire controlling skills."
"How?" Lin Zhen asked.
"I wonder if you have heard of fire fighting skills?"
Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh! You actually know about fire fighting skills? "
This fire fighting skill was a kind of fire controlling skill of alchemists. Two alchemists would each use an Iceheart Pill. This kind of pill was very afraid of fire, but there was a layer of fireproof layer on the outside. If this layer of fireproof layer was broken, then the pill would melt.
The alchemist would wrap the pill with his mental power, let this Iceheart Pill be the heart, and then drive the flame to attack the other party.
The other party could also use the flame to resist and counterattack at the same time. Whoever could quickly break the other party's Iceheart Pill would win.
Moreover, if one party turned the flame into a certain shape to attack, the other party would not be able to transform again. It had to follow the principle of mutual promotion and restraint. Whoever repeated it would be judged as the loser.
This method not only tested the alchemist's mental power level and flame control level, but it also tested the alchemist's imagination.
For example, if one party condensed the flame into a short knife, it might be restrained by the other party's flame spear.
Therefore, the alchemist's imagination accounted for half of the victory and defeat factors, while the mental power level and flame intensity also accounted for half.
Looking at Zhao Yan's confident appearance, Lin Zhen knew that this guy must have played this kind of game often.
However, Lin Zhen was not afraid of him. Lin Zhen had also played fire fighting skills before, and he was quite good at it. Coupled with Lin Zhen's own flame intensity and mental power, he could definitely defeat this Zhao Yan.
"Good, then let's start with fire fighting skills."
Zhao Yan clapped his hands and someone brought a huge crystal cover over. The two people's fire fighting skills would be held inside the crystal cover.
The Iceheart Pill was also used to resolve the side effects of pills. It was not a rare pill. Lin Zhen's Golden Pill Workshop had some. He took out two of them, one for each person.
Zhao Yan activated his mental power and enveloped the pill. Then, flames covered the pill, forming a round fireball.
The flame showed a light green color and was incomparably hot.
A light green flame was already very strong for an ordinary alchemist, but Lin Zhen obviously wouldn't put it in his eyes.
Above light green, there was medium green, dark green, and then bright green. Looking at the intensity of Zhao Yan's flame, it might never advance to dark green, let alone bright green.
Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a similar light green flame rose. Since they were playing fire fighting skills, then it would be meaningless if the difference in flame intensity was too great.
When Zhao Yan and the rest saw the intensity of Lin Zhen's flame, they were delighted. It seemed that Lin Zhen indeed knew how to refine pills, but he was definitely not a Saint-tier alchemist!
"Lin Zhen, you can fool around in the Yuan Realm, but you definitely can't do it here. Today, I will let you know the difference between the Yuan Realm and Sky City!"
The flame controlled by mental power suddenly distorted and turned into a small sparrow. It pecked at Lin Zhen's fireball!
He concentrated the flame energy on the sparrow's beak. As long as it hit the fireball, it might be able to break the outer layer of the Iceheart Pill. The outer layer was very fragile and couldn't withstand the attack.
Lin Zhen sneered. Zhao Yan's mental power was at the peak of dark gold. There was an entire realm difference between him and Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen could completely crush Zhao Yan with his strength.
However, he was also a little playful at this moment. If he revealed too much strength at the beginning, it wouldn't be beneficial for the subsequent bet.
With a thought, the fireball in his hand also changed.
A flaming eagle formed in the air, spread its wings, and was about to swallow the sparrow.
The eagle restrained the sparrow, so Zhao Yan had to respond.
This kind of control required meticulous mental power and rich experience. Seeing that Lin Zhen could easily form the flame, Zhao Yan's face changed. "Not bad. Look at this!"
The sparrow spun in the air and turned into a red-crowned crane.
With a long beak and long claws, it was about to attack the eagle.
Lin Zhen's mental power moved again, and the eagle turned into a green wyrm. It spat out clouds and fog and attacked the red-crowned crane again.
"A green wyrm isn't a dragon after all. I'll let you see my true dragon!"
His red-crowned crane shook its body and turned into a five-clawed golden dragon. It pounced on the green wyrm again.
Lin Zhen smiled faintly. The green wyrm turned and turned into a golden-winged roc.
The golden-winged roc fed on the wyrm!
At this point, Zhao Yan's forehead was already sweating. Lin Zhen's control and adaptability made him feel extremely uncomfortable. He gradually felt powerless.
However, he couldn't admit defeat. He exerted his strength again, and the golden dragon turned into a suanni.
"Your roc may be strong, but don't think about swallowing my suanni!"
Lin Zhen remained silent. The roc turned into a jade qilin again.
Seeing this, Zhao Yan's face lit up. The suanni shook and turned into a black hole beast.
