Not long after, Lin Long and Fan Shaoyun stood in front of two tables in the center of the venue.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
"I heard that Fan Shaoyun is highly talented, while Lin Li is only mid-level."
"Not only that, Fan Shaoyun has already refined a level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill."
"I heard that not only did he refine a level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill, but he is also quite familiar with it. While others are still figuring out how to refine a level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill, he has already focused on refining a level-2 Qi-enhancing Pill."
"I don't know if Lin Li can refine a level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill, but with his mid-level talent, he can't compare to Fan Shaoyun even if he refined a level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill. He will definitely lose this competition!"
Everyone was discussing among themselves. Most of them were not optimistic about Lin Long's chances.
Due to the large number of people present, Lin Long did not notice that there were two people who were not from the Xing Wu Academy. They were Lei Peng and Lei Yu.
Lei Peng was not from the Xing Wu Academy, so he could not stay there for long. However, because he was from the Lei Family, he was allowed to stay in the Xing Wu Academy due to the lack of results from the investigation on Leo.
Lei Yu had sent people to monitor Lin Long. Seeing that Lin Long had made such a bet with Fan Shaoyun, he naturally brought Lei Peng over.
Lei Yu had naturally investigated the conflict between Li Han and Lin Long in the past few days. He knew that Fan Shaoyun was involved in Leo's death, and that Fan Shaoyun and Song Hong had suddenly met Lin Long when they chased after Leo's mark. Because of this, they suspected that Lin Long was closely related to Leo's death.
However, they could not do anything to Lin Long because they did not have any evidence. They could only wait for Lin Long to leave the Xing Wu Academy before finding an opportunity to force him to tell the truth.
"Lin Li actually dared to make such a bet with Fan Shaoyun. It seems that he is quite capable," Lei Yu said as he looked at Lin Long.
"That's right. Lin Li does things calmly. He doesn't look like someone who is easily provoked. Hence, he is quite capable," Lei Peng said with a nod.
"However, Fan Shaoyun is very familiar with refining level-1 Qi-enhancing Pills. Coupled with his high talent, he should have a high chance of winning," Lei Yu added.
Apart from the two of them, the Disciplinary Elder Xiong Tian Yun also appeared in the Competition Pavilion.
As the Enforcement Elder, Xiong Tianyun was naturally not interested in a competition between disciples. However, when he heard that Lin Long and Fan Shaoyun were competing, he immediately rushed over.
Xiong Tianyun thought to himself in shock, Lin Li was really daring to make such a bet with Fan Shaoyun.
As the crowd discussed, the ingredients for refining the Level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill were placed on Linlong and Fan Shaoyun's respective tables.
There were three sets of ingredients on each table.
At this time, a middle-aged man who looked like a mentor stood between the two of them.
This instructor was called Zhao Guan, and was the manager of the Competition Pavilion. Usually, anyone who came here to compete would buy materials from Zhao Guan to ensure the fairness of the competition.
The reason why Zhao Guan was standing here was naturally to be the referee for their match.
"Fan Shaoyun, Lin Li, are you guys ready?" Zhao Guan asked Fan Shaoyun and Lin Long.
"We're ready." Linlong and Fan Shaoyun nodded.
Zhao Guan immediately said, "Then I'll count to three, and the competition will begin …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Fan Shaoyun interrupted him. "Instructor Zhao Guan, wait."
"Fan Shaoyun, what's the matter?" Zhao Guan frowned slightly.
"Mentor Zhao Guan, I would like to read out the contents of the contract between Lin Li and I in front of everyone," Fan Shaoyun said with a smile.
Fan Shaoyun, who felt that he would definitely win, naturally did so to humiliate Lin Long.
"Sure." Zhao Guan nodded.
Fan Shaoyun immediately said loudly, "The competition between Lin Li and I is to see who can refine the Level-1 Qi-enhancing Pill with the best effect and the fastest time … If I lose, I am willing to pay Lin Li one million Yongzhou dollars, and if Lin Li loses, he will pay with his life!"
"That's right, this is the content of the contract between me and Fan Shaoyun." Linlong, who was on the other side, nodded.
Then, Zhao Guan began to count.
"One … two … three …"
As soon as the last three words fell, Linlong and Fan Shaoyun immediately began to get busy.
Both of them first drew the Runic Magic Circle on the stone. After a while, both of them finished drawing the Runic Magic Circle. There was a huge difference in the time they took to draw the Runic Magic Circle, and they finished it almost at the same time.
Lin Li's basic skills were so solid. Seeing this, the majority of people had the same thought.
As a genius disciple who had long been famous, Fan Shaoyun's basic skills did not surprise them.
They were surprised that an unknown new disciple like Linlong had such basic skills.
After drawing the Runic Magic Circle, the two of them began to mix the materials.
At this step, Fan Shaoyun was mixing the various materials step by step, but Linlong's method surprised everyone.
Because Linlong actually began to put a portion of the materials into the small cauldron to smelt before all the materials were mixed.
This Lin Li, he dared to do this before the materials were mixed! Seeing this scene, everyone present was so shocked that their mouths opened wide.
They knew that even a powerful alchemist would not dare to do this casually.
This was because he had to take care of both sides. If he was not careful, he would make a mistake, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
It could be said that if he was not in a hurry, ordinary alchemists would not use this method at all.
This kid actually used this method. Wasn't he courting death? Seeing Linlong do this, Fan Shaoyun sneered in his heart.
Originally, when he saw that Lin Long drew the Runic Magic Circle at the same speed as him, he immediately felt a little pressured. Now that Lin Long actually did this, the pressure immediately disappeared.
This was because he felt that with Lin Long's ability, he would not be able to take care of both sides at all. The first set of materials would definitely fail. This way, he would be able to refine the level one Energy Pill before Lin Long.
For some reason, Xiong Tian Yun originally had some expectations for Lin Long. Now that he saw Lin Long actually use this method, he could not help but secretly shake his head.
This Lin Long, he was actually so ambitious, he thought to himself.
After all, even he wouldn't dare to use such a method in such an important competition.
