The next day was the day of the finals.
The group arrived around the square early. The four remaining people after three rounds of selection all possessed considerable strength.
Moreover, due to the bet, everyone was even more concerned about the outcome of the match.
The first match of the finals was between Ma Qianli and Cang Cuicui.
As the sun gradually rose into the sky, many local residents, including members of the Alchemist Guild, came to the scene, because this battle would even determine the survival of the Alchemist Guild.
Although those who draw the 'challenger' role can only blame their bad luck, Ma Qianli showed no sign of tension and appeared determined to win.
Pale and Galo sat on the platform, their brows furrowed.
Sitting next to the two was Grand Tutor Pang, who had come to watch the final match.
Before long, the match began, and Ma Qianli and Cang Cuicui stepped onto the stage.
With great anger on her pretty face, Cang Cuicui said arrogantly, "Ma Qianli, I will definitely beat you!"
Ma Qianli shrugged, said nothing, and walked to his alchemy furnace.
As soon as the bell rang, the alchemy officially began.
Cang Cuicui also knew the importance of this competition, so although she was usually arrogant, she quickly became fully focused on refining medicine during the competition.
On the contrary, Ma Qianli appeared calm and composed, as if victory was assured.
Leng Yun sat in the rest area, and only then did he realize that Cang Cuicui had a green flame in her hand that was not ordinary. Although it was far inferior to his Five Elements Fire, it was still a kind of strange fire.
In comparison, Ma Qianli's flames were much less impressive, merely ordinary flames.
The people on the field watched the two men concoct medicine with bated breath. For a moment, the entire square was silent except for the sound of the flames burning and the heat spreading throughout the square.
After about three hours, the medicine-making process was completed.
The result was pretty much as Leng Yun had predicted: Ma Qianli completely defeated Cang Cuicui.
It seems that Ma Qianli, like Leng Yun, was hiding his true strength in the previous matches.
In the finals, Ma Qianli revealed his true strength, refining pills flawlessly.
The result of the competition was unexpected for Cang Cuicui. She was filled with regret, wishing she hadn't made the bet with Ma Qianli.
"It's all my fault!" Cang Cuicui said to Cang Bai with red eyes and regret.
"Senior sister, don't worry, I'm here for you. I will do everything I can to stop him!" Li Jiaqi stopped arguing with Cang Cuicui at this moment.
Cang Cuicui nodded: "Junior sister, it's all up to you!"
Although the two usually like to bicker, they know how to stand together against a common enemy when it matters.
The second match was between Ma Qianli and Li Jiaqi.
“Li Jiaqi, if you lose, the Alchemist Guild will probably have to disband,” Ma Qianli mocked.
Li Jiaqi snorted: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let your evil scheme succeed!"
Then, under the tense gaze of everyone, the competition began.
The same method is used to refine a third-grade elixir.
Continuous pill refining is also a drain on the alchemist himself, but Ma Qianli's level is very high, so refining grade three pills requires almost no effort.
Leng Yun deduced that this Ma Qianli should be a fourth-grade alchemist.
Just as Leng Yun was observing the competition, Cang Cuicui suddenly walked up to him: "You—you are really a fifth-grade alchemist?"
Leng Yun looked at the latter with curiosity. He hadn't expected Cang Cuicui to be so humble now.
Then, Leng Yun nodded slightly.
"Then we're counting on you. I know my junior sister can't beat Ma Qianli, so please make sure you defeat him!" Cang Cuicui said, blushing.
Leng Yun was somewhat moved. He knew in his heart how difficult it was for a proud girl to admit that the person she looked down on was actually better than her.
However, for the sake of the Alchemist Guild, Cang Cuicui actually bowed down to Leng Yun.
"Don't worry, I won't let Ma Qianli win the championship," Leng Yun said firmly.
As they were talking, the alchemy competition on the stage had ended, with Ma Qianli emerging victorious and Li Jiaqi losing.
This outcome made everyone around, including Pale and Gara, nervous.
Now only Leng Yun is left. If Leng Yun also loses, then the Alchemist Guild, and even the entire city, will soon be destroyed by the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion!
With this in mind, everyone's eyes turned to Leng Yun, who was now their only hope.
Leng Yun was pleasantly surprised to find that his reputation value was once again on a straight upward trajectory.
"Sigh, it seems we can only rely on Leng Yun now." Pale sighed.
Galo said nervously, "We can only believe that he really is a fifth-grade alchemist!"
Only Grand Tutor Pang sat to the side, looking relaxed: "Don't worry, Leng Yun won't lose."
Grand Tutor Pang had absolute faith in Leng Yun, because since taking the Dragon Roar Pill, Leng Yun's level had stopped at the fifth level of the Sound Martial Realm, showing no signs of decline.
Even Leng Yun could feel the fervent and expectant gazes behind him.
He walked onto the arena with a slight blush and stood opposite Ma Qianli.
"Hmph, kid, do you know where I come from? I advise you not to ruin my plans. I can even introduce you to someone," Ma Qianli said to Leng Yun in a low voice.
Leng Yun shrugged: "If you manage to get back alive, please pass on a message to Elder Huai: I'll be going to kill him soon!"
These words startled Ma Qianli. He had originally planned to take the initiative and say some harsh words, but he didn't expect Leng Yun to be even more ruthless than him.
Elder Huai is an elder of the Miraculous Medicine Pavilion, whose status and rank are much higher than Ma Qianli's.
Leng Yun estimates that Fang Laiguo is the first person to dare speak of Elder Huai in such a way!
"Who—who exactly are you?!" Ma Qianli asked cautiously.
Leng Yun shrugged and didn't reply: "Let's start the competition."
"Wait a minute!" Ma Qianli suddenly shouted, "If we're going to have a competition, let's show some real skills! Let's refine some fourth-grade pills!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was initially surprised.
At Ma Qianli's age, reaching the third rank of alchemist already makes him an extremely talented person, just like Cang Cuicui and Li Jiaqi, who are only third rank.
Even if a fourth-grade alchemist were to reach that level in another ten years, it would be very difficult.
To everyone's surprise, Ma Qianli is now a fourth-grade alchemist!
Then, everyone felt a sense of despair and voiced their opposition.
"No way! This is bullying! The rules of the tournament are to refine third-grade pills!"
"Exactly! If you were to refine a fourth-grade pill, wouldn't you be guaranteed to win?"
Everyone believed that Leng Yun was only a third-grade alchemist, and that he would only have a chance of winning if he could refine third-grade pills.
"Hmph!" Ma Qianli looked at Leng Yun and said loudly, "It's my skill to be able to refine fourth-grade pills. If you can't refine fourth-grade pills, then hurry home and stop making a fool of yourself here!"
