Chapter 546: First Place in the Preliminary Round

Beside Su Chen, Huang Kun was nervously answering questions in the third round. Huang Kun performed very well in today's preliminaries, and his speed was almost the same as those three young geniuses at the Dan King level.

After finally completing the third round, Huang Kun breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the questions for the fourth round.

When he saw the six pill recipes, Huang Kun's eyes suddenly lit up: three of these six pill recipes happened to be seen and mastered by him!

This was a pleasant surprise for Huang Kun, just like a pie suddenly fell from the sky.

Because, as long as he mastered the pill recipe, he didn't need to spend time analyzing it. He only needed to take a look to know whether the pill recipe was wrong.

In this way, he only needed to analyze the other three pill recipes, which was equivalent to saving half the time compared to others.

At this moment, Huang Kun was full of confidence. He even felt that he might even be qualified to compete for the first place in this preliminaries.

Huang Kun subconsciously looked at the three Dan Wang-level geniuses present and found that their progress was similar to his, which gave him more confidence.

Then, Huang Kun subconsciously looked at Su Chen on the side.

"In the previous few stages, this guy was as strong as if he had taken medicine... Could he be so strong in this stage?"

Huang Kun thought with some jealousy in his heart, but when he looked at Su Chen, he found that Su Chen was holding the six Dan recipes, sitting there motionless, as if in a daze.

"Haha!" Huang Kun's eyes lit up, "This guy really showed his true colors. In this stage that requires the most basic knowledge of alchemy, he sat there in a daze. Obviously, this must be because the questions in this stage are too difficult, which made him lose all his ideas!"

"It seems that this guy performed so well in the previous stages, completely by accident." Huang Kun was secretly happy, "Next, let's see how I can quickly complete this stage and slap him in the face!"

Thinking of this, Huang Kun immediately buried his head and carefully studied the other three alchemy recipes he had never seen before, trying to complete this stage as quickly as possible.

It must be said that this stage is indeed difficult. If it is an alchemy recipe that has never been seen before, it takes a lot of effort to infer whether it is correct.

However, Huang Kun has an innate advantage, and he has already mastered half of the alchemy recipes. And he feels that he is in a very good state today, so he is very confident about this stage.

I don't know how long it took.

Huang Kun finally finished answering the questions in the fourth stage.

He immediately stood up, raised his answer sheet into the air, and shouted: "I've finished!"

At this moment, Huang Kun was extremely excited. He was sure that he was definitely the first person in the whole venue to complete the fourth stage!

In other words, the title of the first place in the preliminaries will be his!

However, the next moment, Huang Kun's smile froze immediately.

Because he found that at this moment, not far in front of him, Su Chen was walking towards the rostrum leisurely, holding a paper in his hand, ready to hand it over to the judges for inspection!

In other words, Su Chen's speed was faster than his!

"Damn, that kid is just a little faster!"

Huang Kun almost bit his silver teeth. He thought that Su Chen must be just a little faster than him, and he was just a little slower!

People's psychology is so strange. If the other party is much stronger than you, you may be calm instead.

But if the other party is only a little stronger than you, it will make people feel extremely depressed and angry.

Huang Kun was in such a state at the moment. His heart seemed to be burning with fire. He stared at Su Chen closely, wishing that Su Chen's answer sheet could be judged as wrong by several referees immediately. In that case, the first place in the preliminaries would be his.

At this moment, the other contestants present and tens of thousands of spectators in the surrounding audience seats were all surprised to see Su Chen hand the answer sheet to the referee.

"What? That Chen Shu was the first to complete all the preliminaries?"

"I didn't expect that the first person to complete the preliminaries was not one of Zhang Xuan, Ju Qing'er, and Lin Cheng, but Chen Shu, who I had never heard of before!"

"That can't be said. After all, Chen Shu is the owner of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce. The three new elixirs of Rongxian Chamber of Commerce are not something that ordinary people can come up with, right?"

"The three new elixirs were not developed by him. They must have been developed by the elders behind him, but he just took them out!"

"Don't worry, let's see what the referees say first. Maybe Chen Shu answered so quickly, but his answers were just random guesses and completely wrong?"

There were discussions on the scene, some sighed, some envied, and some sneered.

The referees on the rostrum, except for He Yandan Wang who was relatively calm, the other judges could not hide their shock.

At that moment, they took the answer sheet from Su Chen and gathered together to check and accept it as quickly as possible.

The more they looked at the results, the more surprised they were, because Su Chen's answers were exactly the same as the correct answers, without any mistakes.
