<h4>Chapter 95: You’ve Already Got Me (5)</h4>


    Leng Ruoxue’s team was the first to go on stage today, and herst opponent was the team led by Huo Qing.


    On the arena, Leng Ruoxue sized up theposed Huo Qing. Today was thest battle of the teampetition. In the previous three matches, Leng Ruoxue’s team had wonplete victories, so she would still be the champion of the teampetition even if she lost this match.


    But Huo Qing’s situation was different. In thest three matches, Huo Qing’s team had lost to Mu Li’s, tied with Big Brother Feng’s, and only won one victory against Feng Da’s. The pressure on Huo Qing was tremendous, and this stunning genius probably never expected such a situation to happen!


    However, this was a teampetition after all, and the overall strength was more important. Even if he was a genius, it was useless without good teammates.


    While Leng Ruohan was sizing Huo Qing up, he was also sizing her up. This beautiful girl was Leng Ruohan’s sister and used to be a simpleton. But after a few days of observation, he found that this girl was harder to deal with than her elder brother because he still couldn’t tell what her strength was until now. Moreover, she seemed to win every battle very easily, as though she didn’t use her full strength at all.


    “You are the strongest opponent I have ever met,” Huo Qing said. He was helpless against such a strong opponent because the strength of his teammates was notparable in the teampetition. But he had topete with her in the individualpetition. This seemingly weak and beautiful girl had already aroused his intense fighting spirit!


    “Likewise!” Leng Ruoxue said lightly. She knew that the teampetition wouldn’t allow Huo Qing to unleash his full strength. The realpetition between them was the individualpetition.


    “Let’s end this quickly!” Leng Ruoxue said.


    “Okay!” He didn’t want to waste time.


    The two teams got into formation and began to attack the opponents ording to the pre-nned strategy. Soon, two people from Huo Qing’s team were eliminated, and then Huo Qing dered their defeat.


    In less than 10 minutes, Huo Qing announced his defeat, much to the disappointment of many people who wanted to watch a good show. They originally thought that this battle would be very interesting, but it ended so quickly.


    Leng Ruoxue became famous because of her outstanding performance in the entire teampetition.


    In the end, Leng Ruoxue and her team won the teampetition. Mu Li’s team was in second ce, Huo Qing’s and Feng Moran’s teams tied for third ce, and Feng Da’s team was in fourth ce.


    After the teampetition, the academies were also ranked. Only the top 10 academies were eligible to participate in the individualpetition.


    After the spiritualist teampetition, it was the alchemistpetition. The alchemistpetition was divided into preliminaries, semifinal, and final. As there were only twenty or so alchemists participating in thepetition, thepetition was scheduled to take ce over two days. The first day was the preliminaries, which was divided into two rounds. The first round would be to concoct a designated pill chosen by the judges, who would provide the raw materials for the pills. The second round was for the students to concoct the pills that they were best at, and the judges would grade the pills. The judges of thepetition were professional alchemists sent by the Alchemist Association, and thispetition could also be considered apetition for the Alchemist Association to select talents.


    On the day of the alchemy preliminaries, Leng Ruoxue and the others apanied Liu Yan to thepetition venue.


    “Liu Yan, remember, your ranking isn’t important. It’s enough for you to unleash your full strength,” Leng Ruoxue said to Liu Yan, who was about to go on stage.


    “Yes, I will,” Liu Yan said gratefully. It was his first time participating in such an importantpetition, and he was indeed under a lot of pressure.


    The first round’s designated pill was only an elementary-level pill, the amplification pill, and it wasn’t difficult for the twenty or so alchemists present to concoct. The test for this round was not whether they could concoct the pill. It mainly tested whether the alchemists’ foundations were strong, which was very important for alchemists.


    As thest alchemists on the field extinguished their mes, the more than twenty alchemistspleted their first test. They were only waiting for the judges to grade them now.


    In the first test of concocting the designated pill, Liu Yan obtained second ce. Ranked above him was a genius from the Rising Dragon Academy’s alchemy division, Liu Qing.


    “Second ce, that’s great!” Elder Qiu said excitedly. Liu Yan was the number one person in their Heavenly Phoenix Academy’s alchemy division!


    “Elder Qiu, the preliminaries aren’t over yet.” Leng Ruoxue poured cold water on him.?<i>This old man has been a little too excited these days.</i>


    “Uh…” Elder Qiu also felt that he had been a little too smug.


    The second round was to concoct the pills that they were best at. Leng Ruoxue knew that Liu Yan wanted to concoct an intermediate pill, the essence enhancing pill. It was a pill that you had to master to be an Alchemist.


    The grades of pills were divided into elementary, intermediate, advanced, earth-grade, and heaven-grade. Each grade was also divided into low, middle, and high. Apprentice Alchemists had to be able to concoct elementary pills, Alchemists had to be able to concoct intermediate pills, and so on. Concocting pills that matched the level of the alchemist was also an important basis for the assessment of the alchemist.


    The more than twenty students on the field methodically threw the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace in order. After the medicinal herbs melted, they condensed the pills ording to alchemist techniques until the pills were ready.


    Seeing that the students on stage hadpleted their concocting, the crowd below the stage waited patiently for the judges’ scores.


    About half an hourte, the results were finally out. Liu Yan was still second and had sessfully entered the semifinal. A total of ten alchemists advanced to the semifinal, and only three alchemists could enter the final, so the semifinal would be very intense.


    …


    At the residence of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy in the Elegance Lagoon Pavilion…


    “Liu Yan, tell me if you don’t have enough medicinal herbs.” Leng Ruoxue came to Liu Yan’s room and said to Liu Yan, who was practicing. Then she didn’t bother him anymore and conveniently dragged away Elder Qiu, who came along with her.


    “Ruoxue, why didn’t you let me speak?” Elder Qiu asked in puzzlement.


    “Don’t give him pressure. He’s the number one genius of our academy’s alchemist division. You should have confidence in him,” Leng Ruoxue said.


    “Of course, I have confidence in him. I just want to encourage him!” Elder Qiu said aggrievedly.
