Chapter 804 - Four To Two
Another five or six minutes later, there were more changes on the square. The remaining participants were using various techniques to control the fire. The fire instantly burned strongly and soared into the clouds.
Except for Jiang Chen, all the Elixir Association’s alchemists were using a technique called Illusive Fire Technique. It was one of the Ten Techniques the Elixir Association had mastered, good for young people to use. Its effect on the fire depended on each alchemist’s proficiency level.
Dong! Dong!
These two consecutive noises meant another two alchemists from the Elixir Association had failed. They had been very close to success, but it was just too difficult to refine a Retaining Youth Elixir. They had made a mistake while adjusting the degree of heating. In this way, all of the previous efforts were wasted. The two were very frustrated. They retreated to the edge of the square. The Elixir Association only had three alchemists remaining, while the Elixir Fire Union had five.
Anyone could see the situation was not favorable for the Elixir Association. What made things worse was someone from the Elixir Fire Union had succeeded in refining the Retaining Youth Elixir. He had gathered all of the fire into the furnace. One second later, the top of the furnace opened automatically. With foggy vapors arising, people smelled a delicate fragrance.
“Ha, ha, ha.” He burst out laughing when he realized that he was the first person who had succeeded. He took the Retaining Youth Elixir out of the furnace. Due to the particularity of the Retaining Youth Elixir, it was difficult to refine, but refining it did not take long. Otherwise Chen Xi would not have used it as a test during the competition.
Another two people from the Elixir Fire Union succeeded in refining the elixir. Both of them were new entrants to the team.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
The pretty woman from the Elixir Fire Union walked over, clapping her hands. She said, “Congratulations on the holy-level Retaining Youth Elixir. However, according to the rules, we of the Elixir Fire Union have won this round.”
Not until then did the others realize it. The result of the first round was four to two. The second and the third round would be the same, with 20 people on either side competing at the same time.
Best of three. The Elixir Association would have to win the next two rounds.
“Of course.” Chen Xi had not forgotten about the rule. She felt bad for Jiang Chen.
“Wait.” Jiang Chen suddenly shouted in a loud voice.
“Why?”The pretty woman thought that he was reluctant to admit defeat. She said, “A rule is a rule. Even though you refined to a holy level….”
“It’s not about that.”
Throwing her a glance, Jiang Chen came up to the four people from the Elixir Fire Union who had succeeded. He said, “The Elixir Fire Union and the Elixir Association belong to the Three Middle Realms, don’t they?”
Most people were puzzled by his question. However, the pretty woman’s smile froze on her face.
