The much-anticipated alchemy competition finally kicked off as scheduled.
As expected, familiar names appeared on the official list of participants: Nate, Fonsaq, Anderson, Tetenis, Xingxing, Angagili, Wilson, Aldas …
There was no doubt that this master competition would stage a fierce and exciting duel. The only pity was that Master Arthur was not on the list.
In addition to the luxurious lineup of participants, the weight of the arbitration was even more amazing. The chief arbitrator was the senior appraisal master, Pannu, and there were 2 famous appraisal masters. These 3 arbitrators had served as judges of the potion and alchemy master competitions many times. They had always been known for their fairness and strictness. Appraiser was also a kind of alchemy system. It mainly focused on eyesight and judgment. One's own skills did not necessarily have to reach the peak. For example, the appraisal genius "Richard" who once shone in the Bloody Empire for a while was actually Master Fonsaq's disciple. He deliberately joined Nate and used a trick to expose Nate's true face to the world. He successfully cleared the grievances of his "teacher". Unfortunately, this genius also "died". It was a pity that this genius also "died".
However, it was not the 3 appraisers who received the most attention, but the 3 specially invited arbitrators: Fallen Angel Emperor Jía, Bloody Empire Lord Raizen, and Regent Florence of the Shadow Empire!
The reason why Catherine, the Dark Shadow Empire's Great Emperor was absent was to comprehend the undead puppet behind closed doors and prepare for the martial arts competition more than a year later. At present, the military and political affairs of the Shadow Empire were temporarily taken care of by Uncle Florence. Florence was once blinded by the rebellious Broc. Fortunately, with the help of Catherine's Nirvana power, he regained some vision with the help of magic items.
The leaders of the 3 empires sat in the arbitration at the same time, showing great importance to the competition. This greatly increased the significance and weight of the alchemy competition. To a certain extent, it would also make the competition more intense.
The potioneer competition in group B began. Many potioneers had been preparing to make a splash in the potioneer competition organized by Obsidian a few years ago. As a result, this potioneer competition was delayed again and again until today. After such a long time of precipitation and accumulation, they finally got the opportunity to break out.
After several rounds of preliminary eliminations, many potioneers who entered the final stage showed commendable standards and potential, especially 3 potioneers who reached the master-level. In the end, Roy, the disciple of Angagili, the president of the Shadow Empire's Potioneer Association, won the potioneer final championship. Seeing the potioneer genius that his country focused on training won the championship, Regent Florence of the Shadow Empire showed a satisfied smile on his face.
After the potioneer competition was the mechanic competition in group B. Although there weren't 2 shining stars, "Arthur" and Horford, like the last Shadow Empire's mechanic competition, there were still some players with considerable potential, especially Sousa of the Fallen Angel Empire's Mechanic Association.
Sousa was originally just an ordinary mechanic in the Mechanic Association. He was silent and didn't show extraordinary talent. It was Master Fonsaq who had a good eye for talent. He rejected several "talents" recommended by the association back then and accepted this "mediocre talent" instead.
Under Grandmaster Fonsaq's meticulous guidance, Sousa's progress could be said to be a thousand li in a single day, shattering the glasses of those experts. This competition became the best touchstone. As a result, Sousa lived up to expectations and won the champion of the mechanic competition in group B. Moreover, the level he showed had basically entered the threshold of the master-level. Seeing that his country's contestants won the final victory step by step, the atmosphere at the Fallen Angel Empire's home ground suddenly reached a climax. Enthusiastic cheers came one after another.
Jía at the VIP seat nodded slightly. Sousa's honor this time was quite a boost to the cohesion and morale of the people. Although the 3 empires had a truce, the open and secret battles between them were still fierce. This was equivalent to another battlefield.
In the battle ball league, the Bloody Shadow Team of the Bloody Empire lost to the Red Blood Team and ranked second. This alchemy competition was already halfway through. Both the Fallen Angel Empire and the Shadow Empire had won the glory. Only the Bloody Empire, who had always been competing for the first place, was empty-handed which was particularly eye-catching.
Raizen still maintained his calm demeanor, but there was a layer of gloom in the depths of his pupils.
After four days of fierce competition, the competition in group B finally came to a perfect end. Next, the real highlight was about to be staged, the master competition in group A.
The first competition was the potioneer master competition.
The favorites to win the championship were the presidents of the Potioneer Alliance of the 3 empires, Angelique (Shadow Empire), Wilson (Bloody Empire), and Aldas (Fallen Angel). The first two were senior masters who had been in charge of the pharmaceutics industry for many years. Aldas was originally an old minister of the Dark Moon who followed Jía. After Jía ascended the throne, she supported the dark elves to ascend. In contrast, this president was not as valuable as the first two. Of course, Aldas also had an incredible record of killing the genius potioneer (actually a master) Andrew with a fart. Coupled with the participation of many well-known masters, this duel was full of suspense.
The preliminary event of the master competition was white potion.
White potion belonged to advanced potions and was regarded as the benchmark of potioneer masters. Generally, if a potioneer wanted to be promoted to a potioneer master, in addition to challenging the existing masters, the formal channel was to pass the assessment of the Potioneer Alliance. One of the most difficult and important items was to configure the white potion within a specified time. Of course, in this kind of large-scale competition, the strength of a master could be recognized by many masters, and he could also directly become a master. For example, the 3 potioneers in group B previously.
White potions were divided into 4 categories, enhancement, enchantment, recovery and destruction.
The enhancement type included Strength Potion, Wind Walking Potion, Iron Wall Potion, and Spirit Potion.
Enchantment Potion included equipment enchantment potion, single magic strengthening potion, and single magic defense potion.
The recovery type included Recovery Potion, Essence Recovery Potion, Magic Recovery Potion, and Strong Healing Potion.
The destruction type, as the name suggested, was mainly a poisonous potion. Due to the high demand and high profit, there were people who took a different path to advance to the grand master through poison, so this type had become the main direction of many potioneer masters.
White potions had a time limit, and many of them would have corresponding side effects.
The preliminary rules were very simple. Within an hour, create the highest purity white potion. There was no limit to the type. This round of preliminary would eliminate half of the masters. There were a total of 56 masters participating in the competition, so those ranked below 28 in purity would be eliminated.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the potion crafting tables. Each crafting table was separated by a special enchantment to prevent mutual interference. The competition began. The potioneer masters who had been adjusting their state quickly mixed and operated.
Pharmaceutics was a very rigorous discipline. A slight difference could lead to a huge error. Sometimes even a slight error in the dosage would cause completely different consequences. Due to the complexity of the white potion's preparation, and there were time and purity requirements, it was inevitable that some people would make mistakes under tension. A crafting table was suddenly filled with smoke, and the flames of an explosion could be vaguely seen. After the smoke dissipated, a lich master with a dusty face appeared in everyone's sight. His hair was burnt. This unlucky guy was the contestant of the Fallen Angel Empire. He was Master Kemp who used 50 purple crystal coins to bribe Chen Rui and wanted to cheat Aldas' "secret recipe".
The intensity of the explosion was a bit big. The lich master fell to the ground. Although his life was not in danger, he could no longer operate the instrument for a while. With the help of the staff, he left the arena dejectedly.
There was also a low explosive sound from the crafting table on the side. Another Great Demon master followed the footsteps of Master Kemp, but this contestant was much tougher than Kemp. He didn't even look at the injury on his body. He immediately took out a new set of instruments from the space equipment and continued to configure.
The one-hour time limit of the competition was soon up. Under the power of the boundary, all the potion masters stopped their operations. The staff labeled the potions that the potion masters had concocted and sent them to the three appraisal masters in the judging seats.
The four sides of the Royal Arena were equipped with magic TVs with giant screens. The names of all the participating potioneer masters were displayed on the screens. With the judgment of the appraisal masters, the name and purity of the potion began to appear behind the potioneer masters' names. The ranking was also constantly changing.
Anguillier's Elixir of Power 87.4
Wilson's Poison 87.2.
Aldas Strength Potion 87.1
Panucci Acid Potion 83.2
Rochester's Rotten Heart Potion 82.9
…
The results came out quickly. The top three were the three most popular guild leaders. The purity of their potions reached the standard of 87%, which was already quite high. It was obviously higher than the fourth place's 83%. The three masters were almost the same. They should be at the same level. This also made those who had been questioning Aldas's strength shut their mouths.
At the end of the first round of preliminaries, there were only 28 masters left on the field. There was only a half-hour break in the middle, and the second round of preliminaries would begin immediately. The content of the second round was a race to make three white potions with purity above 70%. The first eight masters to complete it would enter the final.
The requirements of this round were higher than the previous round, and the number of people eliminated was more. From the interpretation of the rules, in addition to technique, it was also necessary to pay attention to strategy. If the purity was too high, it would certainly fail. If the purity was blindly pursued, it would delay time and also be eliminated. This required a balance.
This round was related to the last candidate to compete for the championship in the final. With the beginning announcement, the masters on the stage began to work hard again.
At the VIP seats, the little succubus maid stared nervously at the masters and asked, "Athena, who do you think is Saman among them?"
There was a soundproof enchantment around the VIP seats, so Kia wasn't worried about being heard.
Athena also carefully looked at the situation on the stage and shook her head, "I can't see it, but Saman will definitely be one of the eight people in the final."
"Athena, don't be confused by inertia and appearances. Saman may not necessarily be among these eight people." The one wearing a cloak and veil was Isabella. This time, except for Rolla who was behind closed doors, almost all of Chen Rui's relatives and friends came to the scene.
"Madam Aunt is right." The lazy voice belonged to his nephew, "Didn't you see that even the cunning Sir Uncle-in-law is nowhere to be seen?"
"He is indeed a cunning human." Master Poison Dragon agreed with Lomont's adjective. He raised the cup in his hand, and the slime on the side immediately stepped forward to fill the wine. At the same time, he didn't forget to fill his own cup secretly. This is the emerald jade wine specially made by Miss Long. How can I not please Master Poison Dragon?
"Hmph!" The little princess Royal Highness was dissatisfied with the title of "Sir Uncle-in-law". She waved her little fist, "Anyway, brother will definitely win in the end!"
