Chapter 224 Announcement of Results!

"Black Heart Vine, eight hundred years old, is an elixir with three attributes: earth, wood, and water. Earth and wood are supplementary, and water is the main attribute. It is an excellent elixir for refining elixirs that nourish the internal organs..."

Ling Xiao glanced at the dry-looking tree vine in the glass box and knew the answer.

There was obviously a hint of hesitation on Zhao Ritian's face before he finally picked up the pen to write the answer.

"Write slowly, don't be in a hurry! I think that gate stone looks delicious, it must suit your taste!"

Ling Xiao patted Zhao Ritian on the shoulder, smiled slightly and walked towards the fifty-first glass box.

"asshole!"

Zhao Ritian was concentrating on writing the answer. He didn't know when Ling Xiao arrived. He was startled and the pen in his hand almost fell to the ground.

Zhao Ritian looked at Ling Xiao's back with a black line on his head and gritted his teeth.

He felt that Ling Xiao was too arrogant, even more arrogant than him. He obviously didn't understand anything and pretended to have seen through everything, which made him extremely unhappy.

Ling Xiao quickly read through the one hundred and eight glazed boxes, then wrote the answers and handed them to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan was also a little surprised, shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that Ling Xiao was joking.

And many alchemists looked at Ling Xiao like a fool, knowing that Ling Xiao would definitely lose this bet.

Only Xia Hongxiu's eyes showed a trace of doubt, because Ling Xiao was too calm and didn't have a trace of panic at all, as if he already knew the answers to the 108 elixirs.

"It should be...impossible!"

Xia Hongxiu bit her lip, instinctively feeling that it was impossible.

Alchemy is broad and profound, and is far more difficult than getting started in martial arts. Ling Xiao has transformed to such an extent in three years. With his extraordinary talent in martial arts, he is already quite a monster. It should be impossible for Lingxiao to be so perverted along the way to alchemy.

But for some reason, Xia Hongxiu thought of how Ling Xiao was so indifferent and calm during the Ling family's mid-year competition. As a result, all those who mocked him were severely slapped in the face.

The assessment of the identification level lasted for two hours in total, and the time passed quickly.

Many alchemists didn't even finish the questions, and they all looked sad, knowing that they might be eliminated.

Only a small number of alchemists were able to finish writing the answers, but they were still very nervous. After all, many of the answers were uncertain, and whether they could eventually reach 300 points was still unknown.

"Everyone, wait a moment. After we have finished correcting everyone's answers, we will announce the candidates for the second level!"

Xia Yan smiled slightly, and then took everyone's answers to correct them.

"Ling Xiao, you won't get zero points by then, right? That will be a lot of fun. I'm sure that only I, Zhao Ritian, can answer more than 400 points. Most of these chickens and dogs will have to answer Be eliminated!"

Zhao Ritian licked his face and leaned towards Ling Xiao, saying with a stinking look on his face.

He was still a little depressed. Although he was the second to answer the question, Zhao Ritian felt extremely unhappy when he saw Ling Xiao's calm look.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you! I don't know about the others, but if I answer 300 points, you will definitely eat this gate stone!"

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhao Ritian lightly and said.

"You're the only one paying back three hundred points?"

Zhao Ritian sneered and said: "I think you are blind and can only get a few hundred points. If you really answer three hundred points, I, Zhao Ritian, will eat all these gate stones!"

Behind the gate of Tianshi Palace, there are nine gate stones.

Those gate stones are all square, about the size of a human head, and are made of solid black granite. They are so strong that even spiritual weapons can hardly leave scratches on them.

"This is what you said, don't regret it then!"

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhao Ritian and smiled lightly.

"Of course! I'm a manly man and I'll keep my word. If you can get 300 points in the exam, I will eat all nine gate stones! But if you lose, you have to kneel down and kowtow to me nine times!"

Zhao Ritian patted his chest, looking proud.

"No problem! If I lose, let alone nine kowtows, I have no problem with a hundred kowtows!"

Ling Xiao smiled, revealing his bright white teeth.

Master Jiaomu looked at Zhao Ritian with eyes full of sympathy. This guy really hit the muzzle of the gun!

Soon, Xia Yan came back, his eyes swept over everyone, but stayed on Ling Xiao for a moment, with a strange and dignified look in his eyes.

"Ahem, let me announce the candidates for the second level!"

Xia Yan coughed lightly, and suddenly all the alchemists looked expectantly and looked at Xia Yan nervously.

"First place Zhao Ritian, 420 points!"

As soon as Xia Yan's voice fell, a palace guard posted Zhao Ritian's answer on the wall.

"Four hundred and twenty points, be a good boy! It's so perverted!"

There was a burst of exclamations in the Tianshi Palace, and many alchemists looked at Zhao Ritian with shock in their eyes.

Many of the one hundred and eight elixirs are very obscure and difficult to encounter, let alone getting the answers right. This Zhao Ritian is simply going to defy the heavens!

The total score was 424 points. Zhao Ritian actually got 420 points and only lost 4 points. What a monster.

Even Ling Xiao glanced at Zhao Ritian in surprise. Although this guy was arrogant, he did have the capital to be arrogant.

"Chengyi, chengyi! Hahaha..."

Zhao Ritian was grinning with a proud look on his face, and he exuded a frivolous aura all over his body, as if to say, look how awesome I am, come and praise me!

"Second place Jiaomu, 398 points!"

"Third place Chonghe, 390 points!"

"Fourth place Chongming, 388 points!"

"..."

Xia Yan's voice kept echoing in the Tianshi Hall.

What surprised everyone was that Master Jiaomu had just been promoted to the middle-grade alchemy master not long ago, but he scored higher than Master Chonghe and Master Chongming and won the second place.

And Zhao Ritian was even more proud, almost wagging his tail, as he was the only one who got more than 400 points, and the others were far behind.

"..."

"17th Chunshen, 325 points!"

"18th Zhao Minghao, 320 points!"

"..."

"28th Wang Duo, 301 points!"

"29th Zheng Ying, 300 points!"

After announcing the 29 names in one breath, Xia Yan paused, then smiled and said, "Congratulations to the above 29 alchemists for passing the identification level and entering the second level, but..."

Before Xia Yan finished speaking, Zhao Ritian laughed excitedly.

"Hahaha... Ling Xiao, aren't you arrogant? Aren't you awesome? Why were you eliminated in the first level? I guess you didn't even guess 10 points correctly, kneel down and kowtow to me quickly, I, Zhao Ritian, keep my word, you don't want to deny it, do you?"

Zhao Ritian laughed with his nose in the air, looking at Ling Xiao with a look of gloating in his eyes.
