Chapter 547: Being Slapped in the Face

Amid the discussion, the top 30 of the preliminaries were announced one by one. However, the most discussed person was Su Chen, who won the first place in the preliminaries.

"Take a break for two quarters of an hour, and then start the finals."

He Yan Dan Wang ordered.

The contestants on the field left their positions and went to rest beside the venue.

Feeling the inquiring or scrutinizing eyes from all directions, Su Chen was calm. Now he is undoubtedly the focus of the whole audience, but his mentality is very stable, and the eyes of others can't affect his performance at all.

Su Chen closed his eyes to rest, but because he practiced "Wind Ear", his hearing was too good, and the whispers of several people not far away kept drifting into his ears.

"I didn't expect Lin Cheng to not be the first in the preliminaries."

"It seems that Lin Cheng should be very angry. Looking at his face, he is so gloomy that frost is about to drip out."

"The next finals will be about refining pills on the spot. In this stage, Lin Cheng is definitely the most advantageous. That Chen Shu can't compare with him."

"That's right. Lin Cheng's ability in refining pills is so good that even some of the older generation of pill kings have to admit defeat. The first alchemy genius in the imperial capital will not be defeated by an unknown person."

Listening to these discussions, Su Chen suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard of the name of Lin Cheng in his previous life.

It is said that Lin Cheng is a descendant of the Lin family in the imperial capital. He is a genius who was certified as a pill king at the age of sixteen. He is also a legend in the Yunyuan Empire. Later, he left the Yunyuan Empire for greater development. Many years later, someone heard his name in a place far away from the Yunyuan Empire, where he made great achievements.

Although Su Chen had never seen Lin Cheng face to face in his previous life, he had heard about his deeds in the Yunyuan Empire.

An alchemy genius that only appears once in a hundred years!

This is what many people say about Lin Cheng.

So, when Su Chen thought of this, he immediately became very alert. Since Lin Cheng had made such a big name in his previous life, it means that he must have some outstanding qualities.

In the next on-site alchemy competition, he deserves to pay attention to this opponent.

In terms of alchemy skills, Su Chen is definitely not inferior, but in terms of alchemy equipment, Su Chen is temporarily at a disadvantage.

As a child of the Lin family, Lin Cheng must have been equipped with good alchemy equipment by the family, at least a third-grade alchemy cauldron is a must.

However, Su Chen's bronze cauldron is only a first-grade alchemy cauldron, which greatly limits Su Chen's performance.

There may be no difference in refining ordinary pills, but when refining high-level pills, it is very obvious to see the impact of the quality of the pill cauldron on the quality of the pill.

This is why Su Chen came to participate in the alchemy competition, just to get the final reward, a fourth-grade alchemy cauldron.

"It's a bit interesting."

Su Chen did not retreat, but was very excited, looking forward to competing with Lin Cheng.

However, Su Chen also noticed that when Lin Cheng came up today, he looked at him with a bad look in his eyes. Did he offend this person at some point?

While thinking about it, Su Chen suddenly felt a burning gaze in the audience staring at him. Turning around, he saw Lin Wei, who was gritting his teeth, staring at him from a distance in the audience.

"So that's it, Lin Cheng is also from the Lin family, probably Lin Wei's brother or something, the two are in the same group, no wonder he looks at me with such a bad look."

Su Chen finally knew the reason, and couldn't help but laugh, closed his eyes and rested, ignoring the disturbances from the outside world.

On the other side.

Huang Kun looked at Su Chen who was resting his eyes not far away, and his facial features were crooked with anger. In the preliminaries just now, he thought he was only a little bit away from getting the first place, but in the end, Su Chen took the first place away from him. He couldn't swallow this breath at all.

Coincidentally, at this time, a contestant who had some grievances with Huang Kun happened to pass by. Seeing Huang Kun like this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Huang Kun, you were so mean to provoke others at the beginning, and now you've been slapped in the face, right? I can only say that if you don't have that ability, don't be mean!"

"Get lost, what's it got to do with you!"

Huang Kun stared, furious.

"No matter how much you jump up and down, you can't cover up the fact that you were slapped in the face!"

The man laughed and left.

Huang Kun stood there, getting angrier and angrier. Even if he couldn't get the first place, he didn't want Su Chen to be so proud.

So, Huang Kun thought about it and walked towards Zhang Xuan, one of the three favorites to win the championship, and said, "Brother Zhang, Chen Shu, a little-known person, was able to win one of the preliminaries. Is there something fishy about this? Is he cheating? What do you think, brother Zhang?"

Huang Kun's words were very instructive. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to provoke these three seeded players to cause trouble for Su Chen.

Zhang Xuan was a handsome young man. After listening to Huang Kun's words, he shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, but this alchemy competition is very formal, with He Yandan King in charge, and four other seniors as referees, it should be unlikely that there will be cheating."
