When the Medicine Soul's cold voice resounded in every corner of the Palace of Ancient Medicine, Chu Chen smiled and removed the spirit power on his face. The surrounding students were all stunned.
In the next moment, loud cheers resounded through the sky!
"Senior Brother Chu, so he's Senior Brother Chu!"
"So Senior Brother Chu is here. Look, it's Senior Brother Chu!"
"Following Senior Brother Chu was the right choice. We've successfully advanced!"
"Long live Senior Brother Chu!"
…
Excited cheers rang out one after another. A faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face as he nodded to the crowd in greeting.
Seeing the respect the students had for Chu Chen, Shen Hou and Tang Rou let out a long sigh of relief. A proud expression appeared on their faces.
In contrast, Chu Chen's expression was very calm. Although he had a smile on his face, his eyes revealed a sense of insight. "The first round of the competition may have ended, but that doesn't mean anything. The second round might be the real test."
Tang Rou nodded slightly. Shen Hou's eyes also had a hint of worry. "Although we don't know the specific rules of the second round, the situation will be more complicated. We must plan step by step before we act."
"Don't worry, bookworm. Don't be so timid." Tang Rou patted Tang Rou's shoulder heroically. "Don't be afraid of any changes. Chu Chen will solve the problem."
Chu Chen was slightly stunned when he heard this. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After Tang Rou finished her sentence, she was taken aback. She didn't know when it started, but she seemed to have an almost blind and unconditional trust in Chu Chen. It was as if as long as this guy was by her side, nothing could pose a problem to her.
When she first met Chu Chen, Tang Rou had heard about him from her brother, Tang Wen.
Back then, Tang Rou was arrogant. When she heard her brother suggesting that she marry Chu Chen, she felt that Chu Chen was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. She always had a sense of resistance and disdain for Chu Chen.
However, as she spent more time with him, this resistance and disdain gradually turned into an incomparable trust and … dependence.
Was he dependent on her? She seemed to be a little … reluctant to leave this man's side.
Tang Rou's gaze became a little absent-minded. She lifted her head slightly and saw snow falling from the sky, dyeing the entire world in a flawless white color.
At this moment, even in the depths of the dense forest, snowflakes half the size of a palm were still falling, covering the depths of the forest.
The dense dark green forest was covered in white snow, and the whole world was suddenly wrapped in silver.
In this white world, the black-clothed Qi Fei and Zhou Mei floated above a towering tree like two ghosts.
Their silhouettes were like a layer of faint black smoke, seeming both real and illusory, giving people a very unreal feeling.
Hearing the cold voice of the Medicine Soul, Zhou Mei's heart skipped a beat. She turned to look at Qi Fei. "The first round is over. What should we do next?"
At this moment, Qi Fei's entire body was covered in thick black smoke. Even his face was hidden in the darkness and could not be seen clearly.
If it wasn't for his sturdy physique and the huge sword that looked like a door on his back, no one would be able to recognize who he was.
After hearing Zhou Mei's question, the black shadow around Qi Fei rippled slightly, and a cold voice was heard. "Let's wait for Master's next order. Next, we have to think about how to get through the second round first. The rules of the Intermediate Apothecary Competition are different every year, so we can't use our previous experience to deal with it. "
Zhou Mei fell silent for a moment, then she suddenly smiled. Her beautiful face revealed a charm that came from her bones. "What do you think of Chu Chen?"
"Hmm?" Qi Fei turned to look at Zhou Mei. There were no fluctuations in his tone. "I don't really know him."
"Oh, really?" A smile appeared on Zhou Mei's charming face. "But he seems to be your brother since you were young. According to what I know, you escaped from the Supreme Sword Sect in order to rush back to Biquan Xianzong to save him. However, after the news was leaked, you were captured by the Supreme Sword Sect and imprisoned in deep prison. "
"At that time, Master signed a contract with you in exchange for your freedom, right? However, due to various unforeseen events, you didn't have time to rush back. "
"You talk too much," Qi Fei turned to look at Zhou Mei, and there was a trace of anger in his tone. "You investigated me?"
"Hehe … If you don't even know the origin of your opponent, then wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Zhou Mei still had an indifferent smile on her face. "You have to know that we live in a world of darkness. We can lose our lives at any moment."
Qi Fei fell silent for a moment. He did not reply, and the trace of anger in the black smoke disappeared.
Zhou Mei pursed her lips and smiled again when she saw this. "Oh right, let me ask you one last question … If Master wants you to kill Chu Chen, what will you do?"
"Kill him, of course." Qi Fei's tone was calm, and there were no fluctuations in his emotions.
"Is that so? You're so determined. "Zhou Mei pursed her lips. The words' I don't believe you 'were written on her face.
Qi Fei glanced at her indifferently, and there was a trace of coldness in his voice. "You'll know when the time comes. However … I'm afraid that the person who can't do it will be you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Fei stepped into the darkness. Zhou Mei, who had a charming smile on her face, was slightly taken aback when she heard this. A complicated expression immediately appeared on her face …
Above the Palace of Ancient Medicine, there was a halo of spirit light, and the entire world became dream-like.
After about an hour, Yao Hun finished calculating the medicine tablets of all the teams and began to send the teams out of the ruins. The first stage of the intermediate medicine master competition had completely ended.
At this moment, the square of the medicine palace below the ruins was filled with students and teachers who were waiting excitedly.
Most of them were the teachers of the winning teams and their good friends. After hearing the news of the teams' successful advancement, they specially came to welcome them and celebrate their advancement.
White pillars of light descended from the sky. Every time a person walked out of the pillars of light, there would always be a small group of people cheering and praising.
