Shi Nan and others returned to school to rest and adjust, preparing for the second round of the arena competition ten days later.

However, after Heather returned to the academy, she went to the National Sports Center the next day because the alchemy competition started.

The stands around the National Sports Center were filled with disciples from various major sects in China and students from major spiritual academies. Everyone looked down quietly at the 100-foot-square high platform in the center of the stadium.

On the high platform, there are three rows of seats, upper, middle and lower.

Among the guests, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sat in the center. On both sides of him, in addition to Chen Zhi, there were twelve people wearing alchemist robes accompanying him!

From the badges on the chests of these alchemists, it can be seen that they are all Tianshi-level alchemists!

Above the middle table, there are nearly fifty grandmaster-level alchemists, and on the lower table, there are 156 grandmaster-level alchemists.

At 9 o'clock sharp, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather suit took the seat in the middle of the table. Immediately, he looked around and a loud voice lingered over the huge National Sports Center:

"Time flies, and it's the day of the annual elite alchemy competition."

"On behalf of the Dan Supervision Bureau, I, Ye Hai, welcome you all."

"Now the alchemy disciples participating in the alchemy competition come out!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Immediately, people who signed up to participate in the alchemy competition flashed out from the team. A total of 156 participants lined up and stopped in the center of the stadium.

There were 39 sects and 39 spiritual academies, and each force sent two people to participate, and of course Heather was one of them.

Ye Hai glanced at the 156 contestants and said in a loud voice: "The first competition of alchemy is divided into three rounds."

"In the first round, based on the smell of the elixir, we can determine what elixir it is. At the beginning of the competition, no one is allowed to open their eyes and release their mental power to see, otherwise, they will be disqualified!"

"There are three questions in total. Those who answer two questions correctly will advance to the next round!"

"You guys, do you understand?"

The 156 contestants said in unison, "Disciple, students understand!"

Ye Hai nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Chen Zhi and an old man and said, "Which one of you will start first?"

"Old man..." Before the old man could finish his words, he was cut off by Chen Zhi, "Mr. Ye, according to the rules of the competition every year, I always start the question first in every competition. Of course it is the same now, I still give the question first.

.”

Ye Hai smiled and said: "Vice President Chen has said so, then you can invite me."

Chen Zhi stood up from his seat, came to the front of the 156 contestants, and ordered: "Close your eyes."

"Yes!" Everyone closed their eyes immediately.

In the first round of the first alchemy game, the competition mode is that Chen Zhi, Ye Hai and the director of the Alchemy Supervision Bureau will randomly take out one of the thousands of third-level and lower elixirs for the contestants to pass.

Use the smell to identify which elixir it is.

As for why the three of them had to choose one, it was just to prevent it. One of them secretly told some contestants in advance that the one he took out was He Dan.

Third-level elixirs are used as the assessment because the contestants are all freshmen, and most of them have reached the quasi-master level alchemy master. However, although the quasi-master-level alchemy masters can refine the first to third-level elixirs, if they want to use the elixir alone

It is still very difficult to determine what kind of elixir it is based on its smell.

After all, new alchemy disciples are the new force of every force!

At this time, under the spotlight of everyone, Chen Zhi's space ring flashed, and a bottle of elixir appeared in his hand.

He poured out a purple elixir and said solemnly: "Everyone can listen for one breath, and then write down the answer and hand it in within a moment."

"During the assessment, those who release their mental power to peek or open their eyes will be directly eliminated!"

"The assessment begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, no movement was seen from Chen Zhi. Immediately, the purple pill in his hand rose into the air and stood in front of the noses of the 156 people. After staying for a moment one by one, it flew back to Chen Zhi's hand again.

Suddenly, most of the 156 people participating had their brows furrowed, as if they were trying their best to remember something.

A third of the disciples, with calm expressions, quickly used their mental power to control the pens they had prepared, and wrote the name of the elixir on the answer sheet on the side...

A moment later, on the high platform.

Chen Zhi looked back at the old man and Ye Hai and said, "You two, please start witnessing with me."

"Okay." The old man and Ye Hai responded, looking expectantly.

The 156 master-level alchemists at the bottom of the table all released their mental power to control the answer sheets corresponding to the contestants and took them back in front of them.

Chen Zhi pinched the purple elixir in his hand and announced: "This elixir is a third-level elixir: Nourishing Heart and Blood elixir."

After a while, the results were tallied up, and only 98 people answered correctly. As for who answered correctly, it was not announced immediately.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, more than half of the freshmen this year answered correctly." Ye Hai smiled and said: "Let's ask Mr. Zhuang to give the question!"

"Okay." The old man stood up slowly. Without her needing to say anything, everyone closed their eyes again.

With the snap of the old man's fingers, a jet-black elixir flew towards the 156 contestants. It stayed under the tips of their noses one by one, and then flew into the old man's hand.

This time, most people had sad faces, their faces were full of anxiety, and big beads of sweat fell from their foreheads!

In the next moment, 80% of the contestants were drenched in sweat.

This shows how much pressure they are under!

"When the time is up, please turn in your answer sheets." the old man ordered.

"Yes." Everyone placed the assessment answer sheets at the table of the master-level alchemist sitting in front of them.

At this moment, some people were in high spirits, while others were dejected.

The old man pinched the black elixir in his hand and said: "This elixir is a third-level elixir: the bloodthirsty elixir."

After some statistics, only 61 people answered correctly.

Ye Hai stood up and said: "Everyone close their eyes and continue the assessment."

After the 156 contestants closed their eyes, Ye Hai flipped his right hand, and a green elixir rose from the palm of his hand. It stayed under the noses of a hundred people. After staying for a breath, the elixir flew back to his hand.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock..."

Most people still had their brows furrowed, sweat dripping from their foreheads on the table, and they were trying their best to figure out what pill it was based on the smell of the pill.

Shinan, who had already guessed the answer, found that most people were still thinking after finishing writing, and said a little speechlessly: "Is it so difficult? Isn't it just a third-level spiritual nourishing pill?"

"One moment is up!" Ye Hai finished speaking, and all the contestants placed their answer sheets in front of the tables of 156 master-level alchemists.

Ye Hai's mental energy was strong. After scanning the hundreds of answer sheets, he said in a loud voice: "What I have in my hand is the third-level spiritual nourishing pill."

After counting again, only 26 people answered correctly.

Ye Hai said: "Okay, let me announce that the people who answered more than two questions correctly in one round include Ji Xiang, Song Ding, Lin Xu... A total of 60 people passed the first round."

"Now proceeding, the second round of the first alchemy game, rapid identification of medicinal materials and quick answers."

"There is a answering machine on the table in front of the contestants. After pressing the answering machine, the answering machine must accurately tell the grade and name of the medicinal materials. There are a total of 60 assessment questions. One point will be added for each correct answer, and 5 points will be deducted for each wrong answer.

points, the top 10 will advance!”

The old man surnamed Zhuang said to Chen Zhi, "For alchemy people, identification of medicinal materials is the most basic common sense, but it is even more difficult to answer quickly and accurately the grade and name of the medicinal materials."

"In the first and second rounds of this alchemy competition, the contestants' familiarity with medicinal materials will be assessed." Chen Zhi nodded and smiled.

At this time, Ye Hai said again: "According to the rules of the competition, each of the three of us will have twenty questions. Of course, in order to ensure the fairness of the questions, the three of us have sworn that every assessment question will be asked during the competition.

, will never be leaked privately to the disciples of their respective sects or spiritual academy. Therefore, this is fair."

"Okay, that's all. Mr. Zhuang, please."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhuang stood up from his seat and came to the front of 60 candidates.

"Little kids, are you all ready? Then I'm going to start." Mr. Zhuang stretched out his right hand holding the space ring and said.

"Ready!" The 60 contestants stared at Mr. Zhuang's right hand, and their whole body became tense.

"Okay, let's begin." As soon as Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, the spatial ring's blue light flashed, and a blue medicinal plant with four leaves appeared in his hand.

"Beep!" Heather took the lead in pressing the answering machine and replied: "Level 4 medicinal material: Blue Spirit Clover!"

"The answer is correct, give this guy 1 point!" As Mr. Zhuang spoke, a pink medicinal plant came out of thin air from his right palm.

Mr. Zhuang looked at Heather and said, "Continue!"

As he spoke, a seven-petal flower medicinal material appeared out of thin air from Mr. Zhuang's outstretched right hand. Heather pressed the answer button and said calmly: "Fifth-level medicinal material: Colorful Magic Grass."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was suddenly stunned. This Heather was actually right again! Moreover, it was so fast. No one else could react. Even as soon as Mr. Zhuang took out the medicinal materials, Heather answered correctly!

Mr. Zhuang frowned and thought to himself, it seems that Heather happened to know something about Colorful Mysterious Grass, so he quickly said the right thing!

On the other hand, among the other contestants, beads of sweat were already rolling down their foreheads. They were beaten by this heather for two consecutive questions. How could they not be in a hurry!

"Heather's answer is correct, give him 1 point." After Zhuang Lao said this, the moment he put the colorful mysterious grass into the space ring, a black three-leaf medicinal plant appeared out of thin air in his right hand, Heather pressed the answer button again, and said

Still indifferent, he said: "Fifth-level medicinal material: Trifoliate Sword Grass."

Heather's answer was really too fast!

Before the remaining 59 people could see clearly, Heather successfully answered!

As soon as Mr. Zhuang's medicinal materials appeared in his hands, before Ye Hai and Chen Zhi could see clearly, Shi Nan took the lead and said it!
