Chapter 838: Unstoppable
In just ten or so breaths, Su Chen finished identifying 27 kinds of medicinal materials.
"Alright."
Su Chen raised his hand.
Ji Hang was stunned when he heard this.
He only finished half of it in the same amount of time. How could this guy finish it so quickly?
However, Ji Hang was a knowledgeable genius after all. His mood was not affected too much and he finished it quickly.
The time they completed the task was within the specified time.
"You two have completed the second-level task and each of you gets ten points."
The examiner said.
According to the bet, as long as the task is completed within the specified time, the two will be considered tied.
However, even so, everyone knew that Su Chen's performance in this task was much better than Ji Hang's.
Su Chen only took half the time of Ji Hang to complete the same task. Isn't this enough to prove the problem?
Ji Hang was a little unconvinced. He walked over and looked at the materials Su Chen handed in. He found that Su Chen's materials were classified and placed neatly in different categories without any difference.
The expression on Ji Hang's face gradually changed from doubt to surprise. He couldn't help but look at Su Chen several times, as if he had just met Su Chen.
However, Ji Hang still said stubbornly: "Humph, this second-level task is still too simple. If you have the guts, let's do the third and fourth-level tasks first."
Su Chen smiled but said nothing. No matter how simple the task is, there is still a gap between those who complete it early and those who complete it late.
However, Su Chen still smiled faintly and said: "Let's go to the third-level task room."
The examiner in the second-level task room seemed to like watching this kind of collision between young alchemy geniuses, especially this kind of all-round collision of alchemy, which has a lot to watch.
At that moment, the examiner simply stood up and followed the two out of the second-level task room, wanting to go to the third-level task room to see the excitement.
Anyway, there were only three trialists in total, and Ruan Yanran had just completed the second-level task. Even if the examiner left the second-level task room, it would not delay things.
At this time, the examiner in the first-level task room also heard the news and couldn't help but run out of the first-level task room to watch the fun.
Everyone came to the third-level task room, and the examiner of the third-level task was also shocked to see so many people together.
After hearing about the bet between Su Chen and Ji Hang, the examiner of the third-level task was also happy to see it happen. He personally selected a task from many third-level tasks and distributed it to the two.
"As we all know, there is a theory that medicinal materials have mutual promotion and mutual restraint. An excellent alchemist must have a comprehensive grasp and understanding of the mutual promotion and mutual restraint between all medicinal materials. Otherwise, if you can't even match the medicinal materials and can't figure out whether the medicinal properties are mutually promoting and restraining, it is impossible to become a powerful alchemist."
"Now both of you have 32 kinds of medicinal materials in your hands. Please pair them according to the principle of mutual promotion and mutual restraint of medicinal materials. It should be emphasized that this pairing does not necessarily have to be two-by-two, but may also be a group of several medicinal materials."
"Also, I need to remind you that you must pair all correctly. If one medicinal material is paired incorrectly, it will be considered a failure of the entire task."
The examiner said slowly.
This third-level task tests the identification of medicinal properties and the understanding of mutual promotion and mutual restraint between medicinal materials.
These are the basic lessons of an excellent alchemist. Whether it is Su Chen or Ji Hang, they are naturally familiar with them.
Ji Hang looked eager to try. Although he was tough on the second-level task just now, he knew in his heart that he was indeed behind. Therefore, for this level 3 task, he was even more eager and full of fighting spirit.
Su Chen, however, was calm and composed, and always maintained a calm attitude. In terms of the Dao of Alchemy, he really had nothing to be impatient about, and no one could make him impatient.
"The task begins."
With the examiner's order, the level 3 task began.
Ji Hang almost immediately threw himself on the herbs and began to sort and pair them.
Su Chen, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. He first did a few chest expansion exercises with his arms, and then walked slowly to the side of the table and looked at the herbs one by one.
After carefully looking at them three times, suddenly, Su Chen's hands danced quickly on the herbs like a magic trick.
It took only three breaths of time for Su Chen to match the 32 herbs into a total of ten groups.
Among them, two herbs were paired together, three herbs were paired together, and four herbs were paired together.
"Is that all?"
The examiner was surprised to see Su Chen raise his hand so quickly.
As for the two examiners in the second and first rooms, they looked at each other. They had also seen how fast Su Chen completed the first and second level tasks before, and it was indeed very fast.
However, this was a third level task, which was much more difficult than the first and second level tasks.
