The Alchemy Insignia in Silent Wonder's hand shone like a bright moon, and the crowd fell silent as everyone stared at the three-moon-colored insignia.
The various major powers could understand why Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian had become Advanced Master Alchemists, but they couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Silent Wonder had become an Advanced Master Alchemist as well.
Advanced Master Alchemists weren't common, after all. Even the various superpowers didn't have a single Advanced Master Alchemist, yet Ling Yi had one. It was unbelievable.
How is this possible?! Cold Memory stared at the Alchemy Insignia in shock and disbelief. How is she so fast?
Getting promoted to an Advanced Master Alchemist was easier said than done. Aside from the talent required to create recipes, just the amount of rare materials one needed to experiment with was enough to give the various superpowers a headache. Dark Pursuit had only been able to obtain all sorts of precious materials because it occupied the Moon God's World, allowing Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian to experiment with their recipes.
This was why Cold Memory was so confident in Dark Pursuit.
Any other superpower would've run out of rare materials before Silent Wonder could become an Advanced Master Alchemist.
Even if Ling Yi had the Research Workshop, it could only provide her with some guidance. She'd still need a lot of materials to conduct her experiments. Moreover, based on Cold Memory's understanding, Silent Wonder was still a long way from becoming an Advanced Master Alchemist, unlike Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian, who were only one step away.
Even with Silent Wonder's talent, she should've needed at least half a month to complete her promotion, yet she had already caught up to Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian. Cold Memory couldn't understand how Ling Yi had done it.
Even Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian, who stood beside Silent Wonder, were astonished, much less Cold Memory.
"Little Sis actually succeeded as well?" Silk Moon couldn't help but glance at Shifeng, who sat in the distant spectator stands, playfully. "It seems that Ling Yi has some tricks up her sleeve."
Nobody knew better than them how difficult it was to promote to a senior master alchemist. In order to reach this level, one had to have both talent and resources. Being self-taught or fighting alone was nonsense.
"An Advanced Master Alchemist?! Hahaha, Wu Yin, this lass, is really something. " Long Xianglong couldn't help but laugh when he saw the Alchemy Insignia in Silent Wonder's hand. He was even more determined to bring her back.
Silent Wonder had become an Advanced Master Alchemist without the support of a superpower. Her talent was simply frightening.
Although he knew that Ling Yi had played a significant role in Azure's development, how could Azure's resources possibly compare to Azure's?
When the Duan Family's members learned that Silent Wonder had become an Advanced Master Alchemist, their expressions darkened. Although the competition only focused on the final victor, having an additional Advanced Master Alchemist would undoubtedly increase the Long Family's chances of victory.
"What are you all worried about? It's nothing more than being promoted to Advanced Master Alchemist, "Duan Hanshan glanced at the crowd and casually said," So what if your talent in alchemy is very high? You can't win this competition just by relying on your alchemy skills. "
This competition was indeed an alchemy competition, but it wasn't a normal alchemy competition. It was a competition to determine which of the heirs of the two families was more powerful.
Having a high level of alchemy was indeed an advantage, but it required a higher level of skill.
The alchemy competition required strength to obtain the required materials. Without strength, there wouldn't be any materials. Without materials, how could one produce potions?
Everyone agreed with Duan Hanshan's reasoning. Although this competition was called an alchemy competition, it ultimately depended on the strength and foundations of the powers behind the competition. In this regard, Dark Pursuit had an overwhelming advantage over Ling Yi.
While everyone discussed the competition, Hermit, the host of the competition, spoke again after confirming the participants' Alchemy Insignia.
"Since the remaining participants have met the minimum requirements, the competition will officially begin. Everyone should already know the competition's content. It is to produce an Intermediate Master Potion and Meditation Soul. However, you'll have to obtain the required materials yourself." After saying so, Hermit gestured at a group of people slowly approaching the competition venue. These people carried massive iron cages into the venue, each containing a ferocious beast with frightening aura. "These Level 100-plus beasts will be your opponents to obtain the required materials. The stronger the Level 100-plus beast you defeat, the more materials you'll obtain. The weakest of the Level 100-plus beasts is a Lord. If you defeat this Lord, you'll receive three sets of materials.
"If you defeat a High Lord, you'll receive six sets of materials. As for the stronger Level 100-plus Great Lords, you won't have to defeat them. As long as you survive for ten minutes, you'll receive ten sets of materials. The same goes for the Level 100-plus Grand Lords. If you survive for ten minutes, you'll receive 20 sets of materials. However, you'll only have one chance to choose.
As soon as Hermit finished speaking, a commotion broke out among the crowd.
"The Azure Chamber of Commerce sure is generous! They actually captured so many Level 100-plus beasts! "
"Crap! Isn't this challenge a little too difficult? Even Level 100 Refinement Realm experts aren't a match for a Level 100-plus Lord. How are we supposed to fight these beasts? "
The various superpowers' hearts ached when they saw the Azure Chamber of Commerce using Level 100-plus beasts as its opponents. Capturing wild beasts as Mounts was extremely difficult, not to mention Level 100-plus beasts. Ordinary powers couldn't afford the manpower and resources required to do so, yet the Azure Chamber of Commerce was using these beasts to test their successors' strength.
Moreover, the test was so difficult that even the various superpowers' upper echelons felt a headache coming on.
Even Level 100-plus peak experts would struggle against Level 100-plus High Lords. As for Level 100-plus Great Lords, they'd have no choice but to run for their lives. Meanwhile, Lifestyle players were much weaker than adventurer players. They wouldn't even be a match for a Level 100-plus Lord, much less a High Lord.
Meanwhile, the various superpowers' members looked at Silent Wonder sympathetically.
Among the three of them, only Silent Wonder hadn't reached Level 100 yet. She was currently stuck at Level 99. She might be considered very high compared to other expert players, but she would be at an overwhelming disadvantage in this competition.
Although Level 99 was only one level away from Level 100, the difference between the two was massive. Without the physical limitations, Level 99 players wouldn't be a match for Level 100 players when it came to reaction speed and agility. Not to mention, there was also a massive equipment gap.
"What a pity, Wonder. I hadn't thought that you'd become an Advanced Master Alchemist. If you had joined Dark Pursuit, we might've been rivals, but now, you can only watch from the sidelines," Yan Xiaoqian said, chuckling. Yan Xiaoqian chuckled as she looked at Silent Wonder. "If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too arrogant. Instead of accepting Dark Pursuit's invitation, you chose Zero Wing, which isn't even a superpower."
Many people had compared Yan Xiaoqian to Silent Wonder, believing that the two of them had the highest chance of winning. However, with the gap between their Guilds' strength, only Silk Moon could be considered a match for Yan Xiaoqian.
Although Silk Moon was powerful in every aspect and had been an unrivaled monster in the past, her body had suddenly deteriorated, and her personality had become strange. She was no match for Yan Xiaoqian.
Cold Memory and the others couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
They had thought that Silent Wonder's promotion to an Advanced Master Alchemist would increase her chances of winning, but even they found this competition troublesome, not to mention Silent Wonder.
"Choose a difficulty. Remember, you only have one chance. If you fail, you won't get a second chance," Hermit reminded the three of them sternly.
This competition wasn't just a test of one's strength. It was also a test of one's understanding of oneself. After all, knowing others and oneself was the most important thing.
"I choose the High Lord," Silk Moon said after giving the matter some thought.
"I choose the High Lord, as well," Yan Xiaoqian said without hesitation.
Hermit nodded in satisfaction at Silk Moon's and Yan Xiaoqian's choices. He then turned to Silent Wonder, curious to know her choice. Although Silent Wonder hadn't reached Level 100 yet, she could, more or less, hold her own against a Level 100 Lord. If she could defeat the Level 100 Lord, she'd have a chance of winning.
"I wonder what difficulty Silent Wonder will choose?"
"Is there a need to ask? She'll definitely choose a Lord. That's her only chance. If she chooses a High Lord, she'll most likely die in a second."
"You're right. Although she's talented, it's a pity that she only has Ling Yi standing behind her. If she chose another superpower, she might have a chance of competing fairly with Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian."
…
Everyone present couldn't help but discuss Silent Wonder. From time to time, they would sneer at Shi Feng. So what if Shi Feng had won Giant's Heart's favor? In the end, his Guild's standards would still be exposed.
While everyone discussed the matter, Silent Wonder made her final decision.
"I choose the Grand Lord!"
