C250 Zhou yun's challenge

The plaza was packed full of people. Most of them were here to watch the competition. After all, every contestant who could make it to the finals was a genius.

Not long after, someone had successfully refined the Grade One Pill, and the fastest person to do so was shockingly Zhou Yun, who everyone thought would win.

After Zhou Yun finished refining, he looked around at everyone else, and then placed his gaze on Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen locked gazes with Zhou Yun, and in the end, Zhou Yun slowly shifted his gaze away.

Following that, another person succeeded. In a short while, all ten people had completed their refining.

The lowest of the ten people present were Secondary alchemists. To them, Grade One Pill s and Strength Gathering Pill s were nothing at all.

The deacon elder placed the pills for each of the ten people into a small bottle. Then, he marked them down and sent them to the audit team for approval by the elders of the audit team.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the examination team's elders to review the pills. The ten pills were arranged in a row. After the examination group's elders looked at the pills, they began to exchange their opinions.

"Hello everyone, after the verification from the chief elder, now that the results have been obtained, let me announce that the one who obtained the championship is Zhou Yun." The deacon elder laughed and said.

As expected, everyone thought that Zhou Yun had the highest chance of winning, and it was natural for him to do so.

Immediately after, the Enforcer Elder announced the names of the other places, but Zhou Yun had already overshadowed all of their light.

After all, Zhou Yun was a talent groomed by the Alchemist Association. The higher Zhou Yun's achievements were, the happier the people from their Alchemist Association would be.

"Not bad, your technique is very good and very stable." Ye Xingchen also had a very high evaluation of Zhou Yun.

"Haha, I already said that Zhou Yun would definitely get first place. Look, Zhou Yun got first place without any suspense."

"En, Zhou Yun is really powerful. He was the first to succeed in the refinement process, and he even won the championship without any suspense. As expected of a talent that the Alchemist Association nurtured with all their might."

"Zhou Yun has yet to pass Pill Tower, if only he could pass Pill Tower, I wonder if he could surpass Ye Xingchen, I heard that Ye Xingchen is also a Third Level alchemist."

"I don't think so. Ye Xingchen reached the ninth level of Pill Tower after all. Even if he's a genius, he shouldn't be able to compare to Ye Xingchen."

The people on the plaza were discussing, all of them were listening to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun stood on the plaza, and faintly looked at Ye Xingchen.

Since Zhou Yun's debut, he had always been a genius in the eyes of others. But at this moment, Zhou Yun heard about the matter regarding Ye Xingchen and him, and most importantly, many people said that Zhou Yun was stronger than him.

This made the prideful Zhou Yun feel uncomfortable. He looked at Ye Xingchen with a burning gaze in his eyes.

"Next, I would like to invite the first ranker of this year's Alchemy Competition, Zhou Yun, onto the stage." The deacon elder laughed as he looked at Zhou Yun, and said loudly.

Everyone looked at Zhou Yun in unison. Under everyone's envious gazes, Zhou Yun slowly walked towards the stage.

"Zhou Yun, you have won the championship this time, is there anything you want to say to everyone?" The clan elder looked at Zhou Yun who was beside him, and laughed as he spoke.

Zhou Yun nodded, then said: "I do indeed have something I want to say."

Zhou Yun was about 1.7 meters tall and there was a trace of a confident smile on his skinny face. The corners of his mouth curled up as he surveyed the crowd before shifting his gaze onto Ye Xingchen.

"Thank you everyone for your support. When I became the champion of today's Alchemy Tournament, I want to say one thing, and that is, I want to challenge our genius Ye Xingchen here." Zhou Yun said loudly, his eyes staring straight at Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen, who was talking to the two Assembly Masters, was a little stunned when he heard that Zhou Yun wanted to challenge him. Then, he looked towards Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun's eyes carried a trace of provocation, and stared at Ye Xingchen: "Ye Xingchen, I want to challenge you, do you dare to accept?"

At this moment, the crowd in the plaza was in an uproar, they had never thought that Zhou Yun would actually want to challenge Ye Xingchen.

Zhou Yun and Ye Xingchen were both prodigies, but it seemed that Zhou Yun's reputation was not as good as Ye Xingchen's.

"Zhou Yun wants to challenge Ye Xingchen? Although he was able to become the champion of this year's Alchemy Tournament, he is still no match for Ye Xingchen. "

"You have to know, Ye Xingchen is also a Third Level Alchemist. Furthermore, he has charged into the ninth floor of the Pill Tower. This is not something that Zhou Yun can compare to."

"That's right, there's basically no possibility for Zhou Yun to defeat Ye Xingchen."

Many people were supporting Ye Xingchen and did not think highly of him, but there were still many people who were optimistic about him. After all, Zhou Yun's strength was just there.

"You can't put it like that. Zhou Yun is after all, a Third Level alchemist, and he still has some power. Although Ye Xingchen has tried to break through the ninth floor of the Pill Tower, we have never seen him concocting pills before."

"That's right. Brother Ren is right. It's not certain who will win in a showdown between two geniuses."

"I think highly of Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun's talent is very strong, he merely hasn't gone to challenge the Pill Tower. If he had gone to challenge the Pill Tower, he can definitely surpass Ye Xingchen."

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Ye Xingchen squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Yun. He did not say a word.

The purple clothed president slowly stood up, then said to Ye Xingchen: "Ye Xingchen, I think you two should accept Zhou Yun's challenge. You two are both members of the Alchemist Association, and exchanging pointers with each other, which can improve each other's strength, this is a good thing."

Ye Xingchen, Zhou Yun is also very strong. The two of you challenge him so that more members of the Alchemist Association can watch and learn from him. The white-clothed guild leader chuckled.

Ye Xingchen slowly stood up under the crowd's gaze. Then, he looked at Zhou Yun and loudly said: "Since that's the case, I accept your challenge."

The moment Ye Xingchen finished speaking, the entire plaza erupted and they were all cheering.

A showdown between two geniuses, this was definitely the biggest harvest of the year, many people looked forward to Zhou Yun and Ye Xingchen's fight.

Hearing that Ye Xingchen had accepted the challenge, a smile appeared on Zhou Yun's face, and he said: "Ye Xingchen, since you have agreed to the challenge, you can make the rules."

Ye Xingchen slightly shook his head when he heard this, and then said: "Since that's the case, then let's each refine the best pellets we have, and let the examination team review them. It'll be a bit simpler this way."

"Alright." Zhou Yun looked at Ye Xingchen and said loudly.

"Alright, we, the two assembly leaders, will bear witness to this. You all can continue to refine pills on this stage." The president of the Purple Robed Guild said loudly.

Ignoring the discussions of the crowd in the plaza, Ye Xingchen slowly walked onto the stage, and told the staff member of the medicinal herbs he needed.

Very quickly, the staff delivered the medicinal herbs Ye Xingchen and Zhou Yun needed, Ye Xingchen immediately took out his own Mysterious Sky Cauldron and placed it on the stage.

Zhou Yun took out his own exclusive Medicinal Cauldron s and placed them on the stage.

True alchemists would not use other people's Medicinal Cauldron. They all had their own exclusive Medicinal Cauldron s, only by using their own exclusive Medicinal Cauldron s would they be able to refine the best pellets.

"Alright, you two may begin." The law enforcement clan elder looked at the two men and said loudly.

Actually, Ye Xingchen had no intention to accept Zhou Yun's challenge at all, but after hearing the words of the two conference heads, he decided in the end.

"Since you want to step on me, then I will completely destroy your dreams." Ye Xingchen glanced at Zhou Yun and muttered.

The reason why Ye Xingchen didn't care about Zhou Yun was because they were no longer at the starting line.

Zhou Yun was only a Third Level alchemist, but Ye Xingchen had already reached level 4 alchemist within the Creation Space.

Although there was a difference of one level between a Third Level Alchemist and a Tier 4 Alchemist, there was a huge difference of one thousand miles between the two.

There were a lot of Third Level alchemists, but there were very few Level Four alchemists in the Martial Soul Empire.

Everyone nervously watched the two people concoct pills. Zhou Yun was the first to make a move, he placed the medicinal herb into the Medicinal Cauldron and a wisp of flame instantly appeared on his palm. The moment this wisp of flame appeared, it instantly raised the temperature of the surrounding air.

When the strand of flame appeared in Zhou Yun's hand, everyone was instantly shocked.

"Oh my god, it's actually a Scarlatinitis. Zhou Yun has a Scarlatinitis, he's really amazing."

"Scarlatinitis, Zhou Yun actually has a Scarlatinitis, and he did not use it during the finals of the Alchemy Tournament. Looks like he is hiding his strength, is he trying to defeat Ye Xingchen by directly using the Scarlatinitis?"

"I never thought that Zhou Yun would actually hide himself so deeply. A Third Level alchemist with a Scarlatinitis is definitely extremely terrifying."

Different from the astonishment of the crowd in the plaza, the two guild leaders were not surprised at all when they heard that Zhou Yun possessed a Scarlatinitis. It was because they had long since known that Zhou Yun possessed a Scarlatinitis, that was why they made Ye Xingchen accept Zhou Yun's challenge.

"Haha, this is going to be a good show." The president of the Purple Robed Guild laughed as he spoke.

"I think Ye Xingchen will win. It's just that I don't know if he had broken through to become a Level 4 Alchemist. If he had, there would be no point in this competition at all." The president shook his head gently and said.

Ye Xingchen glanced at Zhou Yun, and steadily refined the pellet. He was not shocked at all by the Scarlatinitis.

Zhou Yun intentionally glanced at Ye Xingchen, as if saying: "Look, I have Scarlatinitis."

Ye Xingchen shook his head helplessly. Then, the black dot on the Mandarava in his body rotated in an instant, and a wisp of flame instantly appeared on Ye Xingchen's palm.

When everyone discovered the flame on Ye Xingchen's palm, they also let out a burst of surprise, because they realized that Ye Xingchen also had a Scarlatinitis.
