After refining the elixirs, siblings Cheng Jiayin began to look up and observe others.

"So many people have finished already?"

Seeing that many had completed the task, the siblings couldn't help but frown.

"No need to rush, you are currently ranked ninety-eighth and ninety-ninth respectively."

At this moment, Zhao Letian suddenly smiled, looked over, and transmitted his voice to them.

"That's great!"

The siblings Cheng Jiayin looked at each other with faces full of surprise and joy.

Being in the top one hundred meant they had a chance to join the Dan King Mansion.

As for the second round, they didn't hold much hope, because they noticed that among the top one hundred, there were many strong Second Grade Alchemists.

Soon, two hours had passed.

In the end, only over three hundred people had completed the assessment.

Those Martial Artists who didn't finish on time, even though frustrated, had no choice but to stop immediately.

However, they didn't leave right away but instead decided to stay and watch the following matches.

"The first round results are out, this is your ranking, you may collect your rewards according to your rank after the competition ends."

On the main stage, the King-level Expert wearing a purple robe in the center smiled, surveyed the crowd, and spoke aloud, simultaneously waving his hand and sending a burst of True Yuan Power into a stele in front of the square. Following that, that stele displayed the rankings of the first round assessment.

Looking at that dazzling light and the first name at the top, Father and son Yu Kun and Yu Qin smiled proudly, and in a show of intimidation, they glanced at Zhao Letian, as if mocking Letian for only ranking sixty-sixth.

"The second round will also last two hours; during this period, if you can refine a Second Grade Elixir, you will pass the Second Grade Alchemist certification, and the top ten may advance to the third round. Now, the timer starts!"

The purple-robed King on the main stage announced once again.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Upon hearing this, the crowd hurriedly restarted their Pill Furnaces and put in the prepared herbs.

"This round doesn't concern us anymore, let's go to the side and cheer for the young master."

Cheng Feng glanced at his sister Cheng Jiayin and said with a helpless smile.

"Okay."

Cheng Jiayin nodded and then she and Cheng Feng stepped aside.

Apart from them, some other Martial Artists who had advanced to the second round also voluntarily gave up.

Because although they had made it into the top one hundred, they were only First-grade Alchemists and simply incapable of refining a Second Grade Elixir, rendering their participation in the second round meaningless.

"That kid is still staying on the field; could it be that he can refine a Second Grade Elixir?"

On the main stage, Yu Qin saw Zhao Letian starting the second round of Alchemy and frowned, his expression darkening.

He had thought that Zhao Letian's Alchemy Skill was far inferior to that of his son.

But if Zhao Letian is also a Second Grade Alchemist, then the gap between the two is not so large.

What's more critical is that Zhao Letian is younger than his son Yu Kun; a Second Grade Alchemist at such an age is very rare. Coupled with Zhao Letian's strong capabilities, overall, Letian would be far superior to his son, which Yu Qin found unacceptable.

"Humph, the champion of this second round will still be this young master. As for you, Zhao Zilong, let's see if you can even make it into the top ten."

Yu Kun was also observing Zhao Letian, but his face was full of disdain, not taking Zhao Letian seriously at all.

Having secured the championship in the first round, Yu Kun was brimming with confidence; not to mention Zhao Letian, he didn't even consider Ge Jun and Lv Yang as his rivals.

Zhao Letian ignored the looks from Yu Kun and others and continued to focus on his Alchemy calmly.

After the previous round's observation, he had approximately grasped everyone's Alchemy Skill.

This round, he was completely confident in entering the top ten, so naturally, there was no need to hurry.

Time quietly passed, and soon, an hour had gone by.

Refining a Second Grade Elixir was evidently much more difficult than refining a First-grade Elixir; up until now, no one had successfully refined a Second Grade Elixir.

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, a powerful elixir aura suddenly spread out.

Everyone was slightly startled and looked over attentively.

It was seen that this time, it was Lv Yang who first refined a Second Grade Elixir.

Moreover, the quality of the Second Grade Elixir in his hand looked very good, it was definitely not hastily refined just for the sake of speed.

"Damn it!"

Watching Lv Yang snatch the championship of the second round, Yu Kun's face suddenly darkened, looking extremely frustrated.

However, Lv Yang was not Zhao Letian; in front of Lv Yang, Yu Kun didn't dare show any dissatisfaction, he could only hurry and bury himself in his alchemy.

Meanwhile, atop the presiding stage, Yu Qin's expression also didn't look too good, because he was very clear that among today's participants, only one person could possibly become the direct disciple of the Dan King. That person must invariably be the ultimate champion.

In other words, for his son Yu Kun to become the heir of the Dan King, he must defeat everyone and take the final championship.

But now it looked like Lv Yang and others' Alchemy Skill might be not at all weaker than his son Yu Kun; who would ultimately prevail was still uncertain.

"This is just the second round; perhaps, Kun'er is holding back his strength, preparing for the last round."

Yu Qin consoled himself.

"Boom!"

At that moment, another person refined a Second Grade Elixir.

Everyone's gaze immediately shifted over, only to see that the second place was taken by Ge Jun.

"Dammit!"

Seeing even second place snatched away, Yu Kun's expression grew even uglier, a look of urgency appeared in his eyes, and his control over the flames became chaotic; the flames beneath the Pill Furnace grew erratic in size, causing the entire furnace to start shaking violently.

"Calm down, don't panic!"

Just then, in Yu Kun's mind, the stern voice of Yu Qin suddenly echoed.

"That was close; the most taboo thing during alchemy is distraction, my state of mind was actually shaken, almost causing the furnace to explode, it even required a reminder from father."

Yu Kun was startled and quickly calmed himself down, stabilized the flame, and looked gratefully towards Yu Qin on the presiding platform.

Yu Qin was there with tightly knit brows, his face looking rather displeased.

Luckily, the furnace hadn't exploded; if it had, he wouldn't know where to put his old face.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A moment later, the third and fourth places finished almost at the same time, taking out elixirs with a strong aura from their Pill Furnaces.

Everyone's gaze shifted over, only to see the third place was that slightly older man dressed in a black robe from the Sect Martial Realm, and the fourth, rightly so, was Yu Kun.

"The nerve of this guy, where did he pop up from? To actually surpass me, it's absolutely outrageous. Thankfully, that kid Zhao Zilong hasn't finished yet, perhaps he won't even make it into the top ten."

Yu Kun looked sullenly at the black-robed man, then very contemptuously at Zhao Letian, his face revealing a smug sneer once more.
