Not long after, Zhang Lei stopped the flame in his hand. With a shake of his hand, an elixir flew out from the cauldron and landed in his palm.
Looking at the crystal-clear elixir in his hand and smelling the rich medicinal fragrance, everyone was certain that he had refined a high-quality Soul Cleansing Elixir.
"Kid, you've lost." Zhang Lei said proudly to Lin Long. Then, he signaled to the mentors in front of him that he had refined the Soul Cleansing Elixir.
Those mentors, no, it could be said that the mentors present had long noticed Zhang Lei who had refined the Soul Cleansing Elixir.
This did not surprise them because Zhang Lei's ability could be ranked in the top five among the alchemy students in the entire academy.
Immediately, the two mentors walked in his direction.
After seriously looking at the elixir in Zhang Lei's hand, the two mentors nodded their heads.
One of them said, "Not bad, Zhang Lei, you have successfully refined the Soul Cleansing Elixir."
"Mentor Luo, is this Soul Cleansing Elixir a high-grade one?" At this moment, one of the spectating disciples asked.
"That's right, Zhang Lei has refined a high-grade Soul Cleansing Elixir," the two mentors said confidently.
"Senior Zhang Lei has already refined a high-grade Soul Cleansing Elixir, what's there for Lin Long to refine?"
"That's right, Senior Zhang Lei's speed is already faster than his and he has refined a high-grade Soul Cleansing Elixir. There's no need to compete."
"That's right, I really don't know how he has the face to refine elixirs in such a serious manner."
"You don't have to say that. This is his last time refining elixirs in the academy. Is it easy? Just let him do it for the last time, hehe."
…
The surrounding people started whispering again. Moreover, most of them were ridiculing and ridiculing Lin Long. If it wasn't for the semi-finals, their voices would definitely resound through the entire square.
"What? What's going on?"
Hearing the surrounding disciples' words, the two mentors immediately asked.
When they were far away, they could pretend that they didn't hear it. Now that they were so close, it would be a dereliction of duty if they didn't ask about it. Naturally, they had to get to the bottom of it.
"It's like this. Teachers, Lin Long overestimated himself and made a bet with Senior Zhang Lei to refine this Soul Cleansing Pill. Whoever loses will have to kneel down and apologize before immediately leaving the academy."
A disciple immediately said to the two mentors.
Hearing this, the two teachers immediately frowned. Personally, they didn't approve of such behavior.
However, the academy did not explicitly prohibit this kind of behavior. In the end, this kind of behavior became an unwritten rule. Therefore, even though they did not approve of it, they could not control this kind of bet.
Even though they disapproved of it, this battle didn't matter to them at all. After all, their relationship with Linlong and Zhang Lei was average.
From their point of view, the person they were most worried about was Linlong's teacher, Ye Zhuangya, because the current Linlong basically had no chance of turning the situation around.
In other words, it wouldn't be long before Linlong left the academy with his tail between his legs.
The two of them subconsciously looked in the direction of Ye Zhuangya, only to see that Ye Zhuangya was already walking towards them.
She furrowed her brows, as if she had noticed something.
Ye Zhuangya quickly walked to the side of the two teachers.
The two teachers hurriedly reported the matter to Ye Zhuangya.
Hearing that Linlong actually made another bet and that he was clearly going to lose, Ye Zhuangya's expression immediately became even more unsightly.
While her expression was unsightly, she was naturally angry. After all, she had previously warned Linlong not to cause trouble. Who would have thought that he would cause trouble so quickly?
"Ah, Teacher Ye, if I knew that Linlong was your disciple, I definitely wouldn't have made such a bet with him … It's just that your disciple's strength is too weak. His level of refining this Soul Cleansing Pill can't even be compared to some ordinary disciples," at this moment, Zhang Lei, who was at the side, said in a strange tone.
Seeing that Zhang Lei actually dared to ridicule Ye Zhuangya, the new disciples were all shocked.
After all, Ye Zhuangya was the academy's teacher. Her status and strength were not comparable to Zhang Lei.
The older disciples, on the other hand, were not surprised because they knew that Zhang Lei's teacher and Ye Zhuangya's conflict was not small.
Therefore, it was normal for Zhang Lei to take the opportunity to ridicule Ye Zhuangya.
"No matter how weak my disciple's strength is, I don't need you to tell me what to do." Hearing Zhang Lei's words, a trace of anger immediately appeared on Ye Zhuangya's face. Immediately after, a powerful pressure directly gushed out from her body and crushed towards Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei's expression changed greatly. Cold sweat instantly appeared on his back. How would he dare to speak carelessly?
After frightening Zhang Lei into obediently shutting up, Ye Zhuangya then shifted her gaze back to Linlong.
The iron-like truth made her think the same as the surrounding people, which was that Linlong would definitely lose this bet. Then, he could only dejectedly leave the academy.
After looking at Linlong a few times, Ye Zhuangya could not help but sigh.
In her opinion, although Linlong's refining speed was slower than most of the disciples, he was very proficient in the refining process. With this kind of strength, in the future, he would definitely become an outstanding alchemist.
It was a pity that he had to carry out a bet with Zhang Lei that he had no chance of winning.
No, she couldn't let Linlong fail just like that. Suddenly, Ye Zhuangya made a decision, and that was to use her status as a teacher to veto this bet. This way, Linlong wouldn't have to withdraw from the academy.
Although this would definitely cause her to be ridiculed and ridiculed by the people in the academy, and her disciple would not be able to raise his head in the academy in the future, compared to obtaining a disciple with a bright future, this kind of ridicule and ridicule was not worth mentioning.
After making such a decision, Ye Zhuangya immediately said to Linlong, who was still refining. "Linlong, don't worry. Refine your elixir well. Your bet has not been approved by the academy, so winning or losing is not important to you. What you need to do now is to seriously refine and advance to the next round."
When they heard Ye Zhuangya say this, the surrounding people were all dumbfounded. Even the two instructors were dumbfounded.
This was because such an unwritten rule had already penetrated deeply into the academy and had become a kind of culture. Ye Zhuangya's words were clearly challenging the academy's culture. She would definitely be spurned by the entire academy.
Of course, there was a reason why such an unwritten rule could become the academy's culture. For hundreds of years, the Sky Evolution Academy had always advocated for the academy's disciples to be honest and trustworthy, and not to go back on their words.
"Going back on one's words, going back on one's words. I didn't expect Teacher Ye Zhuangya to be such a person."
"Teacher Ye Zhuangya publicly went against Mister Pei's principles. This is really unbelievable."
"Is such a person even fit to be a teacher in the Sky Evolution Academy?"
