The key problem is that my level of alchemy is not good enough.
If I had known this earlier, I would have answered more questions.
"Hou Siyu, what kind of Xuanxing alchemist are you?"
Lu Chen asked curiously.
Hou Siyu's face turned slightly red and he said with shame, "I'm just a four-star Xuan Alchemist."
Four stars, or just that?
Lu Chen was hit hard.
While the two were chatting, finally, the voice sounded again: Those whose names are called can leave.
Zhang Wusheng, Xun Sili, Wang Chenghu..."
Lu Chen immediately became nervous.
Everyone is feeling uneasy.
Afraid of having my name called.
Those whose names were called looked as if they were mourning for their heirs, and their expressions were extremely ugly.
Leave sadly.
Soon, more than a hundred people left the room.
There are only a hundred and a few people left.
In just the first test, more than half of the people were eliminated.
This shows how difficult the Zhongzhou examination is.
If you want to fish in troubled waters, leave as soon as possible.
Finally, the voice stopped calling names.
Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the remaining people, except for people like Hou Siyu, Yang Heng, and Xiao Xingyi who were originally confident.
They all breathed a sigh of relief.
It felt like the atmosphere just now was so solemn, and I dared to take a breath now.
"Now, let's announce everyone's scores.
Dong Le, sixty points.
Wu Cheng, sixty points..."
One by one, there were more than 20 people announcing sixty points.
It's simply too scary.
The first item only got sixty points, which is equivalent to just passing.
If there is just one mistake in the last two items, it will be over.
Fortunately, among these twenty people, I am not among them.
Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief again.
The voice continues to announce the score.
"...Hou Siyu, sixty-seven points..."
Sixty-seven points?
Lu Chen looked at Hou Siyu in shock.
I saw Hou Siyu was very confident that he could get 90 points, but why did he only get 67 points?
There are too many differences.
Swish.
I saw Hou Siyu's face turn pale and she murmured in shock: "Impossible, how could I only have a score of sixty-seven?"
"Nothing is impossible. The Zhongzhou assessment does not depend on whether you are the daughter of the city lord."
Someone laughed sarcastically.
Very mean-mouthed.
Hou Siyu turned paler and stopped talking, but his lips were trembling, obviously unable to accept this blow.
"It's okay. Sixty-seven points is not bad. As long as there are no accidents later, you can pass."
Lu Chen comforted.
Hou Siyu glanced at him and said tremblingly: "Thank you. However, I don't believe that I only scored sixty-seven points. There must be something wrong."
"snort!"
The person in charge who announced the scores snorted coldly, and with overwhelming pressure, he shouted: "If you are not satisfied, just get out.
There are naturally reasons for the score we give you."
"What's the reason? Tell me!"
Hou Siyu shouted very stubbornly.
Everyone was surprised.
This girl is so cool, she actually dared to yell at the people taking the Zhongzhou assessment.
Looking for death!
"presumptuous!"
Sure enough, I heard the person in charge shout loudly.
Hou Siyu was shocked by his momentum and almost knelt down.
However, she persisted, extremely stubborn, and even held her head high, just to get an explanation.
"go out!"
The person in charge shouted sharply.
This is to tell Hou Siyu to get out and directly deprive her of the assessment qualification.
"I'm not convinced."
Hou Siyu still insisted.
Lu Chen quickly whispered and persuaded: "Hou Siyu, please give in, there will be a chance later.
If you are fighting for a moment and miss the opportunity, you will have to come back three years later.
And if someone puts you on the blacklist, you will not be able to enter Zhongzhou in the future."
Hou Siyu shuddered and looked at Lu Chen.
Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, then she lowered her head and whispered: "I was wrong. I am satisfied with my score."
"Humph, as long as you're satisfied."
The person in charge continued to announce the scores.
It was as if what just happened never happened.
However, Hou Siyu stood blankly, his eyes blank.
She didn't understand how she could only score sixty-seven points.
Moreover, not even a single reason can be known.
This kind of assessment is too overbearing.
I, Hou Siyu, have worked hard for so long and studied alchemy for six years.
No matter how bad you are, you can still get more than 80 points.
She couldn't believe this score, even if she could pass the final three tests.
She is not satisfied either!
Because this is an unfair assessment and an insult to your alchemy!
Lu Chen actually somewhat understood Hou Siyu's persistence.
Although he was able to pass the Alchemy Test, he didn't care how many points others gave him.
Even now that his score is not read, he is still lucky.
After all, I'm just a dabbler and don't have much hope.
However, he believed that if he were to take a sword test, someone would randomly give him a low score.
He is definitely not satisfied either.
Because this is simply an insult to your own swordsmanship!
Therefore, people like Hou Siyu regard alchemy as life and are confident in its strength.
I won't be satisfied with this mere 67 points.
But you have to be satisfied even if you are not satisfied, this is the tyranny of Zhongzhou!
It’s okay not to accept it.
"Xiao Xingyi, eighty-nine points."
Everyone looked over.
Eighty-nine points, such a high score.
This little-known one-armed girl actually has such attainments in alchemy.
However, she only has one arm.
How can I make an elixir in a while?
While everyone was curious, they also felt sorry for her.
If she is not one-armed, her next assessment will definitely not be a problem.
But now, it's hard to say.
Maybe the next two assessments will get zero points, so I can pack it up and go home.
"Yang Heng, eighty-nine points."
Everyone looked over again, envious and jealous.
Yang Heng had an arrogant look on his face and looked around, feeling proud.
Eighty-nine points, this is already the highest score.
To reach 90%, you need to have a special understanding of elixirs.
But, strange.
He suddenly realized that he hadn't heard Lu Chen's name yet.
Does that kid also have a score of eighty-nine?
It's impossible.
He is so powerful in combat and he is not very old, so he must have spent a lot of time improving his combat effectiveness.
How can I have time to study alchemy?
So, did I miss this guy?
In fact, when I just read the list, this guy should have left here.
Yang Heng was full of doubts.
Xiao Xingyi was also very strange.
He had the same suspicion as Yang Heng.
Lu Chen is not an old monster like him, so why is he so powerful in combat and able to study alchemy.
No matter how unbelievable your genius is, you can't be so outrageous.
Are you going to let others live?
"Chu Jiaochan, eighty-nine points."
Another eighty-nine points.
This is a woman with somewhat dark skin and an unremarkable appearance and figure.
She stood calmly with a calm expression.
It doesn't seem to matter how many points you score.
In other words, she is very satisfied with the score.
In comparison, as a woman, Hou Siyu is too rude.
After hearing this woman's score, Hou Siyu also raised his head.
She has recovered her mood and calmed down.
But seeing this woman score eighty-nine points, she seemed to be getting excited again.
Because she knew Chu Jiaochan.
This is the daughter of one of her father's marshals.
I once competed with her in alchemy, and they were considered equal.
They mutually confirm the concepts of alchemy and are equally comparable.
Therefore, they often discussed alchemy and had disputes.
But that was just a dispute over their respective persistence in alchemy. In fact, they were still sisters.
At least that's what Hou Siyu thinks.
As a result, I failed in the Zhongzhou assessment today.
He scored sixty-seven points, while Chu Jiaochan scored eighty-nine points.
But that didn't make her sad.
What made her sad was Chu Jiaochan's cold eyes.
Even when he looked at himself, there was a hint of ridicule.
It means that my alchemy skills, Chu Jiaochan's, are better than yours, but if you still fight with me, you should lose.
That kind of pride is chilling!
Aren't we sisters who grew up making alchemy together? Why are you so indifferent to me?
Even Chase Lu doesn’t care as much about me.
And I just said a word to Lu Chen.
The good sister I consider myself is worse than a stranger I just met through chatting.
how so?
Hou Siyu couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it.
Today, a short assessment lasted less than two hours.
But Hou Siyu felt as if a year had passed.
The repeated blows made her feel suffocated.
The assessment is unfair.
The indifference and sarcasm of sisters.
This world is simply too terrible.
If this world could be as simple as alchemy, there would be rewards as much as you put in.
How great would that be?
"Are you okay?"
Lu Chen asked with concern.
Hou Siyu shook his head: "I'm fine, thank you."
"Actually, I want to thank you. What you told me before gave me some peace of mind.
If you have a chance to pass the next two assessments this time, thank you very much for your advice."
Lu Chen smiled.
Hou Siyu sighed: "Actually, with your alchemy skills, it doesn't make any sense if I don't say those things."
As he spoke, he looked deeply at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses.
That's right, it seems like I haven't read my name yet.
Listen to the person in charge announce the order of scores, from low to high.
If I haven't read it yet, doesn't it mean that my score must be at least eighty-nine?
It's impossible.
Simply unbelievable.
"Hey, why don't you announce the scores? Have you finished announcing them?"
In the room, someone suddenly started talking.
One person said: "Is there anyone else who hasn't been announced? Please tell me."
Lu Chen looked around, but no one said anything.
Before he could speak, Yang Heng said: "Lu Chen, haven't you given your name yet?"
"Hey, are you the only one left?"
Everyone shouted in surprise.
The highest scores now are those of Yang Heng, Xiao Xingyi and Chu Jiaochan, all with 89 points.
Lu Chen hadn't thought about it yet.
So is his score 89, or is it higher than 89?
It seems that he is also a genius in alchemy.
Everyone was envious and jealous.
Chase Lu felt embarrassed for a while.
What the hell!
My family knows my own affairs, and if I can score eighty-nine points, then I have a shady secret.
"Hou Siyu, you can't compete with me, so why did you find a pretty boy to be your helper?"
Chu Jiaochan suddenly spoke with a sneer.
Hou Siyu looked ugly and said, "Don't talk like that.
What's between us is our business, don't involve other people, he has nothing to do with me."
"It's okay? I think you two are quite close."
Chu Jiaochan is aggressive.
Hou Siyu's face turned red.
But she was simple by nature and didn't like fighting with others, so she didn't know how to fight back for a while.
Lu Chen glanced at Chu Jiaochan and said coldly: "Should we be close enough to do your shit?
Are you proud of scoring eighty-nine points?
With this kind of pursuit, your alchemy will be like this.
When can you get 100 points and then force yourself in front of us?"
"you!"
Chu Jiaochan was so angry that she vomited blood.
Score a hundred points?
What a joke!
No one ever scores 100 points.
If you get 100 points, you will be a person above Xuan Alchemist, an elder master in the alchemy realm, a treasure alchemist!
But she didn't dare to refute Lu Chen's words.
Because Lu Chen’s scores haven’t been reported yet.
According to the rules of counting just now, other people's scores must be higher than your own.
When I was scolded, I lost my temper.
If you are short, you have to admit it and stand firm when you are beaten.
If your attainments in alchemy are not as good as others, you will be humiliated by others. This is what you did.
