After all participating students were seated in different areas according to geography, the dean of Imperial Capital Academy personally came to the stage to speak.
To be honest, Chen Shen was not interested in this kind of opening ceremony at all. When he was in school in his previous life, he was psychologically shadowed by various school leaders.
Fortunately, Dean Liao did not give a lofty speech with a long and smelly speech, but read out the rules and regulations of this competition in a simple and clear way.
The first is the Alchemy Fighting Skill. Except for the seed contestants submitted by each school, all the other students will make alchemy on the spot. Within the specified time, they will compete with who can refine the mysterious elixir with higher grade and greater output.
In this first round of competition, the top 100 players will be selected, and then they will have a final PK with the seeded players from each school. The rules are simple and rough.
It is not until the top ten in the Dan Competition are competed that the Dan Hall fighting skills come to an end for the time being.
Then, there is a one-on-one battle in the war hall, and the opponent is determined by drawing lots. During the game, those who are the first to go out of bounds, voluntarily abstain, or are beaten until they lose the ability to continue fighting, will all be considered losers.
The battle hall auditions take turns until there are only 1,000 people left on the field, and then these 1,000 people are allowed to draw lots to compete with the war hall's seeded contestants from each school.
Finally, when the competition reached the top ten, the competition came to an end.
Dean Liao also specially emphasized: We must try our best in martial arts competitions, but we must stop in moderation and do not kill people intentionally!
In other words, in this battle hall, there is a real possibility that a player will die.
The competition for the top ten rankings of Dantang and Zhantang will be held directly on the Qianlong Platform of Imperial College!
When the time comes, the dignitaries and powerful officials of the imperial capital, civil servants and military generals, and even the king of Great Xia will come to watch the battle in person!
The king will handpick the top three!
As the saying goes, if you learn civil and military skills, your wealth will be with the emperor's family.
If after years of hard work, I could be rewarded with such a great success today, with the honor of being appointed number one, number two, and third overall by the king of a country, what kind of glory would that be?
For a time, all the participating disciples were eager to try...
"The Dantang audition begins!"
Dean Liao waved his hand, and his sonorous words filled with profound energy were deafening and could be heard clearly within a ten-mile radius!
The auditions were in full swing, and all the students first presented their cauldrons and medicinal materials to the one hundred Dan Hall judges for review.
After confirming that they had not used any cheating methods, they were assigned to the middle of the field, one person and one cauldron, to form an alchemy team.
The moment the hourglass flows backwards, the timer starts!
Time passes minute by minute...
"No. 118, Explosive Cauldron! Eliminated!"
"No. 473, the elixir is complete! A low-grade mortal-level Qi-reviving elixir."
"No. 369, the elixir is complete! A low-grade mortal healing elixir."
"No. 44, during the refining process, he secretly put the finished Xuan Dan into the medicine cauldron with the intention of cheating! Eliminated! And he will be disqualified from the competition for life!"
…
One hundred Dantang judges spoke one after another, and there were scribes recording their verdicts.
In the audience seat, Xue Yang said angrily: "Chen Shen, be careful when the time comes. Don't get nervous and blow up the cauldron. It will be a lot of fun! Hahahaha..."
Chen Shen ignored the other party's provocation and stuck their heads together with the little loli Ma Jingjing beside him, talking and laughing.
In the eyes of Young Master Xue, this situation was even more uncomfortable than being scolded a hundred times by Chen Shen...
The two-hour time limit quickly came to an end in the heated Dan Dan battle.
"Time's up!"
Dean Liao shouted loudly!
Those students who failed midway and tried again, or who were so slow that they had not even completed the first batch of Mysterious Pills, were all ordered to stop!
Without even thinking about it, these people’s results were all unqualified and they were eliminated!
In the end, only eighty-six people successfully refined the Xuandan, which was even less than the expected number!
Among them, eighty people have refined the low-grade Xuandan of ordinary level, and only six people have completed the refining of the middle-grade Xuandan, and without exception, they only have one in quantity.
It's right to think about it. The truly capable Xuan Alchemy Masters have long been reported as seed contestants by the school. Compared with them, the alchemy skills of these students participating in the audition are naturally much inferior.
The real highlight is the next qualifying competition to compete for the top 100!
Dean Liao announced with a loud voice: "The finalist competition for the top 100 will officially begin in one hour!"
Hearing Dean Liao's words, the students in the Duel Dan Hall immediately exploded——
"What? We have just finished an audition, and we can only rest for an hour before the top 100 finals? How much soul power can we recover in such a short time? This is too unfair!"
"It's already evening now, and it will be night in another hour! Do we have to make elixirs at night?"
"In this open-air royal hunting ground, the visibility at night is horribly low, and the failure rate of alchemy is also increased by 30%!"
"I also heard that once night falls, there will be a lot of mysterious beast activities around the royal hunting ground. The roars of various ferocious beasts are endless, how can you calm down and refine elixirs?"
…
In response to the flood of complaints from students, Dean Liao only responded with one sentence: "The strong strengthen themselves and the weak weaken themselves! Complaining is what the mediocre and weak do! I, the Imperial Capital University, never accept mediocre people!"
One sentence stopped everyone's mouth...
Among the students who can come here to compete, which one is not a genius in the local town? If they are geniuses, they are a bit arrogant, and no one is willing to admit that they are weak!
In the audience seat, Chen Shen grinned: "The various flaws in alchemy at night are not another test? This Dean Liao is a bit interesting!"
Hearing this, Deng Yideng nodded happily: "If you can see through this, you have some eyesight!"
Ma Jingjing's eyes were filled with peach blossoms, and she couldn't help but secretly praise: "Wow! Junior Chen Shen is so handsome! All the other Dantang players seemed nervous, but he was the only one who was so calm from the beginning to the end!"
Even Luo Xiao, a big man who was usually taciturn, cast an approving look at Chen Shen at this moment: "You really have a strong heart, which is great! If possible, I really hope to experience you in the battle hall.
The fierce fighting spirit!"
Xue Yang was the only one with a disdainful look on his face: "Hey, pretend, just pretend! You're not afraid of talking big and letting your tongue slip!"
"Yeah, right!"
Suddenly, Chen Shen jumped up from his seat, a trace of panic flashed across his face: "Dean Deng, do these students prepare their own medicinal cauldrons and medicinal materials?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Well... I came in a hurry and didn't prepare the medicine cauldron." Chen Shen scratched his head in embarrassment.
Of course he has a medicinal cauldron, and it’s also an earth-level sly weapon—the Gang-core glazed cauldron!
However, if you use it in the top 100 finals, it will inevitably attract some attention...

To be honest, I have been reading five times a day for more than half a month, and I am very tired. It is all the five-star reviews from all the book friends, leaving messages in the book circle to cheer me up, and generously giving me monthly tickets and other philanthropic acts that have allowed me to persevere until now!
Thank you for having you, let’s do another five updates today!
