Not only other outsiders, but even Aldrich, the person involved, looked equally confused.
He remembered that he had never taught Raymond such tricky advanced potion skills, so why did the boy use it now?
"Probably when I was demonstrating advanced medicine-melting techniques to that brat before, I deliberately showed off my skills a few times, but he secretly learned them..."
Aldrich thought about it for a while, his eyes twitched, feeling happy and a little bit bitter.
If he hadn't shown off his special skills as a gatekeeper and restrained the boy, he would not have been able to trick the apprentice with sugar-coated bullets.
"Secret Technique Thousand Finger Peak Bullets" is indeed a very powerful medicine-melting technology. It is a high-level technique that can only be used to refine silver-quality potions and above.
This fusion technique for complex types of potions can not only increase the success rate of fusion, but also minimize the fusion time, reduce the chance of impurities being mixed in, and improve the purity.
But the premise is that the potion master who uses this technique must have the ability to "multi-task", which requires a very high mental threshold for the potion master.
This difficult potion-melting skill is simply not something that a junior potion master can master.
In other words, if the apprentice has not learned to crawl, and you ask him to learn to run, it will only encourage the student's success and will do more harm than good.
Even if he is his close disciple, Aldrich is not planning to start teaching Raymond this unique secret technique for at least half a year.
However, he didn't expect that this cheap apprentice would learn it by himself before he even taught him?
Now it seems that Aldrich feels that his teaching methods are a bit too conservative.
He originally wanted Raymond to build a good foundation steadily, but he didn't expect that this guy couldn't be treated by ordinary methods at all. The method of making steady progress is only suitable for ordinary people. For a guy like Raymond with a monster talent, he should
"Destroy the seedlings and encourage them to grow"!
Fortunately, he is his direct disciple.
If this kind of talent appeared in Anthony's disciples, Aldrich felt that he would die in depression due to jealousy.
...
At this moment, Raymond felt that his current state was very wonderful, and he even felt better and better.
He seemed to have found some kind of wonderful rhythm. As he practiced, he suddenly integrated some of the techniques and theories in his mind. He didn't need to deliberately manipulate it, his body could react instinctively.
Flick your fingers, shake the tube, free, ten-hand linkage...
He didn't realize that this was a bottleneck that could be broken without attacking it.
At this moment, Raymond was like a precise instrument, accurately calculating every step of refining the medicine. No more energy was wasted, no less attention was lost, everything was just right.
If it hadn't been for the previously awakened [Juggler] to comprehend the passive skill of "Two-Handed Weapon Mastery", Raymond would have realized that he would not have such a strong neural recruitment ability as he does now.
He felt that his mental state was very good at the moment. Even when he tried the advanced medicine-melting technique of "Thousand Finger Peak Bullet", he was not unfamiliar at all and everything came at his fingertips. Unknowingly, his mental power far beyond that of ordinary people allowed him to
The ability to control the body has reached a terrifying level.
It turns out that mental power has such wonderful uses.
Even at this moment,
Raymond's movements in his hands did not stop, and he was even distracted enough to glance at Arthur who was sweating on the opposite side.
"Then it looks like I have to try my best... If I lose, it will be a small loss. If I lose the 'Spellweaver Gem', I will have a big chance."
Raymond didn't mean to underestimate the enemy at all.
This guy's talent in potions is definitely considered a real genius, and his skills and foundation in potions cannot be underestimated.
Given time, this boy's attainments in potions will definitely not be low.
"Arthur's technique is very steady. It seems that he is very proficient in that kind of magic potion, and the possibility of making it into a potion is very high. If I refine it step by step like this, although I will not fail to melt the potion, I still have a 50-50 chance of winning.
.Anthony is not a fuel-efficient lamp...and the old guys from the college will most likely exchange for a draw for the sake of the 'friendship' between the two colleges..."
Raymond narrowed his eyes and thought in his mind.
For Anthony to willingly admit defeat, he must win with an overwhelming advantage, making it impossible for anyone to quibble!
Suddenly, a crazy idea came into his mind.
"In that case, let's try that technique!"
.......
The students from the two academies below the ring were all holding their breaths and concentrating at this moment, not daring to take a breath for fear of affecting the competition between the two talented young men on the ring.
Those instructors in the first row saw it most clearly, but they couldn't help but whisper.
"I seem to see the shadow of Dean Aldrich in Raymond..."
"Yes, when Dean Aldrich became famous in a battle at the 'Genius Potion Masters Exchange Conference' in the royal capital, it was the same situation as it is today... I was still a young potion apprentice at that time..."
"Yes. The dean has taught a good disciple."
...
"Look, Arthur also used his hands together! Isn't that Dean Anthony's specialty?"
"Dissociation method! Three purifications! Then Arthur is too...crazy!"
"What exactly did I see? Could it be that this is not an exchange competition between two academies, but the Black Sea's 'Genius Potion Master' conference held once every ten years?"
When everyone saw the two people fighting more and more fiercely on the stage, they couldn't help but exclaimed softly.
There was no other emotion in their eyes, only shock and admiration.
...
"Arthur has tried his best... well... at least it can be a draw."
Anthony seemed to see himself in Arthur's youth, with his turbid eyes gradually blurring.
That year, he was still very young.
He and that annoying guy named Aldrich participated in the "Genius Potion Master Conference" together. The final stage was like today. The two were neck and neck. In the end, he came in second place and Aldrich took the top spot.
, regret for life.
It's a pity that time flies so fast, and when I look back, it was already decades ago.
Memories always make people sad. The two old friends looked at each other and saw the sadness in each other's eyes.
After all, everyone is old and has trained equally excellent successors.
Touched by the scene, Anthony originally wanted to sigh, but when he saw the next scene, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Look, when he saw Raymond pick up a few test tubes filled with medicine and throw them into the reaction kettle, his expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Throw a cup of melting medicine! Oh my God, Aldrich, you madman"
, actually teaching a junior potion master such dangerous medicine refining techniques!"
I have never taught...
Aldrich, who was being scolded on the sidelines, felt aggrieved.
That brat...really treats the ring as his own personal experimental platform? Do you really dare to compete in a show-off with such a sideways skill that you might fail at any given moment?
He even had a strange thought in his mind. That brat wouldn't do this on purpose, wanting him to lose the "Medicine King's Notes". Would he be against him?
But the thought disappeared in a flash.
Aldrich was certain that his money-obsessed apprentice would not do such a thing that would harm others and not benefit himself.
Then there is only one possibility, this competition is "stable"!
The sparkle in Aldrich's eyes grew brighter and brighter,
The victory is decided.
...
If the previous "Thousand Finger Peak Bullet" was considered a normal potion skill, the current "cup breaking and melting potion" is simply a sideshow trick attempted by those crazy potion masters.
This method will indeed increase the success rate of the drug to a certain extent, but its risks and benefits are really not proportional. Not only is the probability of failure extremely high, it is also extremely easy to cause a violent explosion due to improper operation!
This side technique requires the potion master's ability to control force to an extremely terrifying and subtle level. First, throw the test tube into the reaction pot and flick it. The test tubes will be broken in a specific order in the pot, and the reaction pot will be finished.
It should be non-destructive in order to achieve the purpose of simultaneous fusion of medicines.
It's no wonder that Anthony is so out of character. This unorthodox technique kills countless arrogant potions apprentices every year.
However, as long as this technique is successful, it means that the magic potion is ready.
This is an inevitable cause and effect. The difficulty of controlling the silver potion in sequence 9 is completely inferior to the technique of "dropping a cup to melt the potion".
And successfully mastering the skill of "breaking a cup and melting a potion" means that the difficulty of the silver potion in sequence 9 is nothing.
Anthony saw that Raymond's wave of operations did not cause an explosion, and he knew the outcome was decided.
...
"Snapped"!
The sound of the glass test tube breaking was clear and sweet.
Arthur, who was opposite him, felt his heart pounding and his face turned pale.
Naturally, he also knows this crazy technique.
What does that feel like...
During the Mathematical Olympiad exam, when everyone was still frowning and biting their pens to calculate, suddenly a top student slapped the paper on the invigilator's desk with a "pop" sound.
I handed in my paper in advance!
What is a difficult problem for you novices, for the top student is to give you points!
This "pop" sound is not only a show off of skills, but also a spiritual shock.
It shattered the last bit of confidence in Arthur's heart.
Arthur was in a state of confusion, and the outcome of this competition was already doomed.
