Chapter 374: The knockout rounds begin

After walking out of the inn, Long Xuan looked around, found a tall building, and walked in that direction.

That tall building was temporarily built, covering a large area and having five floors.

The number of contestants in the knockout round was too many, enough to exceed 10,000. The central square of Tianfeng City could not accommodate so many alchemists, and the knockout round could only be held in this tall building without spectators.

Even so, this tall building cannot accommodate so many alchemists at the same time, so the knockout competition will last about ten days, and all contestants will compete in batches.

The day on which each alchemist competes is determined by drawing lots. The flame clone has bad hands, so he was directly drawn to the first day.

Long Xuan had no choice but to interrupt his plan to prepare Tianjin and come out to compete early.

Along the way, Long Xuan was shocked to find that the streets were already overcrowded.

 A large number of alchemists and onlookers took to the streets, blocking the streets everywhere. There was noise everywhere, and there was even chaos in some places. He would not be able to squeeze into the competition venue in a short time.

He knew that this alchemy competition would attract a lot of spectators, but the problem was that the knockout competition would be held in a tall building. This tall building would block everyone's sight, so why were they crowding around?

 Even if they squeezed into the place closest to the competition venue, they could only watch lonely.

Just when Long Xuan didn't know how to walk into the competition venue, a loud shout came from the sky.

“This city has now lifted the air ban restrictions, but the only people who can fly over this city are contestants and judges. Anyone who does not meet these two statuses will be killed if they fly into the sky.”

As soon as this sound came out, the group of alchemists who were struggling to squeeze into the competition venue felt happy and immediately flew into the air and flew towards the tall building at the fastest speed.

There are not many people below Gu King who can fly, but this does not include the wealthy group of alchemists. Every alchemist who participates in the alchemy competition is extremely rich, and almost all have the financial resources to buy a flying boat.

So all kinds of flying spiritual weapons were flying in the sky for a while. Some people flew to the competition venue in boats, and a flying spiritual weapon made of the wings of an eagle-like spiritual beast stretched out from behind some people. The speed was also not slow, and Some people rode a flying Gu insect or spiritual beast and quickly flew towards that building.

In short, each alchemist has various flying abilities, and the sky was filled with figures flying around for a while, making it chaotic.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion somewhere in the crowd, and Long Xuan subconsciously turned his head and looked over.

What appeared in the line of sight was a beautiful figure wearing a purple dress and robe. She had a beautiful appearance and an innate noble temperament.

It’s just that her eyes were smiling, revealing an eccentric meaning, which made her look like a restless person.

 She was really restless at this time and actually stepped on the heads of the crowd and flew towards the competition venue in a very high-profile manner.

 Every person whose head was stepped on dared not speak out in anger. It can be seen that the identity of this woman is definitely not simple.

Long Xuan subconsciously turned his head to the side and asked: "Who is this woman? She is so arrogant, isn't she afraid of being beaten to death?"

The unknown actor next to him glanced at him and said, "You don't even know her? She is Princess Yuyao of the Dragon Empire. Her name is Long Yuyao. She is the most beloved daughter of the current Emperor of the Dragon Empire. No. one."

 “Who dares to provoke her?”

“What’s more, she’s not stupid. She only stepped on the heads of those low-status people. Does she dare to fly over the head of King Gu?”

"She is arrogant and has the capital to be arrogant. She is the number one genius in the Soaring Dragon Empire. Not to mention her terrifying combat power, her alchemy skills alone are superb."

“Her alchemy skills are considered to be the best among the third-grade alchemists of the Long family, and she is a popular candidate for the championship of this alchemy competition.”

“She appeared in such a high-profile manner. It seems that she is full of confidence in this competition.”

Hearing this, Long Xuan glanced at the woman's back emphatically. He remembered this competitor in his heart, but he couldn't say that he was a competitor. Both of them had the surname of Long, so it didn't matter who won.

At this moment, there was another commotion behind him, and Long Xuan quickly looked back.

I saw a fat man in red clothes imitating Long Yuyao and flying forward quickly by stepping on people's heads.

 But by chance, the direction he was heading in happened to be passing by him. As expected, the fat man was about to fly over his head.

Long Xuan's expression immediately changed. How about having such a big lump step on him?

 “It’s really looking for death!”

Long Xuan cursed secretly in his heart, and immediately used the power of the Eye of Heaven to exert subtle control over someone in the crowd behind him.

The man felt that his knees were inexplicably weak, and then he fell down.

The fat man who had just stepped on his head felt that his feet were suddenly empty, and he fell heavily to the ground.

 The people below were all severely affected and screamed in agony.

To outsiders, it seemed as if the fat man was too heavy, and the people below him could not bear his weight. As a result, he was pretending not to understand, and he fell to the ground and chewed his shit, and the crowd burst into laughter.

 At this time, behind the crowd, a group of Gu kings wearing red clothes suddenly turned dark.

“It’s such a shame, it’s such a shame. Is this Feng Shuang worthy of such a big job?”

An old man pointed with trembling fingers at the fat man who was getting up awkwardly in the crowd, blowing his beard and staring in anger. The number one person in the Feng family's alchemy industry had such a scandal in front of everyone, even the elders of the family felt ashamed.

He has now keenly felt that the Dragon Gu King is looking here with a smile.

The first Gu King of the Feng family also had a bad look on his face, looking disappointed at this genius who had high hopes from his family.

"It doesn't matter. Although Feng Shuang doesn't look very smart, his alchemy skills are outstanding. He is truly the number one among the third-grade alchemists of my Feng family."

“When it comes to alchemy, he is by no means weaker than Long Yuyao.”

"And I don't put any hope in him at all. His chance of winning against Long Yuyao is only 50-50. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter. I have another backup plan."

The leader of the Feng clan's Gu King raised his lips, showing a sinister look, and sneered: "Don't worry, this backhand is enough for me, the Feng clan, to win the championship of this alchemy competition and plunder half of the Long clan. The destiny of the family.”

"If the Long family regards Long Yuyao as their last hope, then they will definitely lose this bet."

 …

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Long Xuan finally knew the identity of this fat man. He turned out to be the number one among the third-level alchemists of the Feng family.

He couldn't help but take a closer look at the person. After he felt that the pressure was not too great, he took out a handful of spiritual tree leaves from the storage ring and threw it into the air.

He then jumped up and used the power of stepping on the stars to make his body as light as a cloud. He stepped on the leaves in the air and quickly flew to the entrance of the competition venue.

There were exclamations behind him. Such a pretentious appearance attracted the attention of many people.

Long Yuyao also looked at her with beautiful eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

 It was simply unbelievable to her to be able to run through the air on leaves relying purely on physical strength.

Long Xuan ignored the shocked looks behind him and walked quickly towards the door.

Since this alchemy competition is destined to be low-key, he has no intention of hiding any edge.

After he walked into the door, he took out a wooden token with No. 25 on the third floor written on it, and he walked towards room No. 25 on the third floor.

He has already understood the rules of the knockout competition. After registering, each contestant will receive a token with a number on it.

 The number on the token is the location of the examination room where the contestants are. Each contestant is in a separate room. The rooms are airtight and do not affect each other.

 The test in the first game is to refine the elixir.

 At the beginning of the competition, the examiner will distribute an elixir to each alchemist.

 The type of elixir is randomly selected by the examiner on the day, and no one will know the content of the assessment in advance.

 The rules of the competition are very simple. All contestants refine the same type of elixir. Each person has ten elixirs and a total of ten refining opportunities.

 After the contestants have extracted ten elixirs, they must bring the one with the highest purity to the judges for scoring.

 The time it takes to purify the elixir, the success rate, the dryness, humidity and purity of the elixir essence, as well as the final size of the elixir essence, will all affect the score.

There are a total of 120 judges. After removing the ten highest scores and the ten lowest scores, the remaining judges’ scores are averaged to determine the contestant’s final score.

 Those whose scores are 60 points higher than the passing line will stay and enter the next round. Those whose scores are lower than 60 points will be eliminated and there will be no rematch.

Such a rule is considered fair and can prevent someone from bribing the judges to give high scores or maliciously give low scores.

After Long Xuan found his examination room, he walked in and sat down. He began to close his eyes and rest, adjusting himself to the best condition.

There are so many alchemy masters in this alchemy competition that he does not dare to be careless in the slightest. He does not dare to boast that his alchemy skills are the best in the world, nor does he dare to underestimate the people in the world.

He didn't have to wait long. Soon there was a deafening bell outside, and the next moment there were footsteps in the corridor.

An old man soon opened the door and walked in. After checking the token Long Xuan placed on the table and confirming that the identity of the contestants was correct, he placed ten blue Ganoderma lucidum on the table and the huge hourglass on the table. Flip it upside down on the table.

 Obviously this hourglass is the timer. Since it is a competition, there must be a time limit. After the sand in the hourglass runs out and the elixir has not been refined, it means failure.

At the same time, the less sand flows in the hourglass, the faster it takes to get out, and the higher the score will naturally be.

“This is the third-grade water Ganoderma lucidum. It is the content of the assessment drawn by the examiner this time. You are lucky. You have drawn the most difficult elixir.”

The invigilator showed a strange smile, finally pushed the door open and walked out, closing the door behind him.

Each room is protected by a formation. Under the formation, the use of storage bags and breeding bags is prohibited, which can almost eliminate all cheating methods, and there is no need for an invigilator to supervise. (End of chapter)
