"H-how is this possible? The Nine-Striped Ancient Dao Golden Core, I'm not seeing things, am I?"

When the Holy Son came back to his senses, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed, much less accept this result.

"Alright, stop rubbing. Even if you rub your eyes until they're rotten, you won't be able to change this outcome!" Ye Zichen looked at the dumbstruck Fire Spirit Holy Son and said mockingly, "Actually, I don't want to beat you up, but you're too overestimating yourself. Do you feel like you're a clown now?"

Streaks of white light lit up the stone platform. The mysterious stone platforms seemed to have life of their own as they swallowed the pills refined by the alchemists into the stone platform. They began to check the quality of the pills refined by the crowd.

Soon, the rankings were out. A huge crystal screen appeared in the sky above the Skyfire World. Everyone's results and the quality of their pills were all displayed on the screen.

Ye Zichen refined the Nine Tattoos Golden Elixir and took first place in the semifinals. Although the Fire Spirit Holy Son and Jiao Yuyan refined the Eight Tattoos Bodhi Ancient Dao Pill, because the Fire Spirit Holy Son's pill refining speed was slightly higher than second place, Jiao Yuyan was third …

Looking at the rankings on the crystal screen, some were pleasantly surprised, while others were regretful.

And if they were to break into the semifinals tomorrow, it would mean that Ye Zichen and Jiao Yu Yan would both be able to get into the top twenty and obtain the Nine Star Badge. Such a result was something that Jiao Yu Yan had never thought of before.

Xuan Chang Xin had given away his qualification as an alchemist in the semifinals, but when he got the rewards for breaking into the top one hundred ranks in the Alchemy Competition, he witnessed Ye Chenfeng's performance as the number one alchemist of the Nine-Striped Golden Dan.

"Heavens, that Feng Chen is truly a monstrous genius. He actually refined a Nine-Striped Ancient Dao Golden Core! How come I never heard of his name before?"

"That's right. The Fire Spirit Holy Son is already very abnormal. However, compared to Feng Chen, he is still far from being able to compare with him." The Nine-Striped Golden Dao Pill, even a Saint alchemist would not necessarily be as outstanding as him! "It would seem that he possesses sufficient strength to dare to publicly gamble with the Holy Son Huo Ling. In the worst-case scenario, he might even be able to laugh at the very end."

"Feng Chen, the Fire Spirit Holy Son is very outstanding. Isn't the outrageously beautiful Jiao Yuyan equally outstanding? Who would've thought that three dark horses would be born in this competition? I wonder if they'll be able to shake the position of Saint Masters and make it into the top ten!"

When he saw Ye Zichen turn the tide and suppress the Fire Spirit Holy Son, Ye Zichen's stunning performance once again conquered the audience in the pavilion.

"Impressive! I thought that the assassination attempt a few days ago would have some effect on Feng Chen. I never thought that he would be able to complete the competition with such an outstanding performance. If the Eight-Striped Ancient Dao Pill is the limit of the Fire Spirit Holy Son, then he will lose for sure!" Marquis Wang revealed a graceful smile as he kept thinking about how to break through that layer of paper and get Ye Zichen and Yu Yan together.

"How could this be? That little bastard is only that big, how could he refine an ancient Nine-Striped Dao aurous core?"

Looking at the ranking on the crystal light wall, the Fire Heaven Halberd's expression turned extremely ugly. Based on Ye Chen's performance today, it would be extremely difficult for the Fire Spirit Saint to defeat him in the semi-finals.

"Master, you must help the fire spirit again. My Holy Fire Valley cannot afford to lose!" The Fire Heaven Halberd begged as it looked at the calm and steady medicine flame.

"The Eight Stripes Bodhi Ancient Dao Pill is probably the limit of the fire spirit, but the Nine Stripes Golden Dao Pill shouldn't be the limit of that Feng Chen!" Yao Yan stared at the ranking board on the wall of light and faintly said, "If the fire spirit wants to turn the tide in the semifinals, it will be very difficult!"

"Master, I wonder if you can lend your Sacred Furnace to the fire spirit. With your Sacred Furnace, the fire spirit's results will definitely rise to another level, defeating that Feng Chen in the semifinals." He clenched his teeth and suddenly kneeled on the ground. In order to defeat Ye Chenfeng, he did not care about his face anymore.

"Heavenly Halberd, you should be clear about my hostile relationship with the Sky Hall. If I lend the Saint Furnace to the fire spirit and disrupt my final ranking, it might bring trouble to both him and your Sacred Flame Valley!" Yao Yan slowly said as he looked at the halberd that was begging him on the ground.

"As long as I can defeat that little beast and take the Holy Elixir from his hands and protect the greatest secret of Sacred Flame Valley, I'm willing to take this risk!" The Fire Heaven Halberd said through clenched teeth.

"Alright, since you're willing to take the risk, then I'll lend the Saint Furnace to the fire spirit. Only God knows if I'll be able to defeat Feng Chen in the end!" Yao Yan mused for a moment before finally deciding.

"Thank you, master! The Heavenly Halberd will never be forgotten!"

The Fire Heaven Halberd said excitedly as it knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times towards the enigmatic Yao Yan.

It had reached the medium-grade saint treasure level. Although the Fire Spirit Holy Son was unable to control the Holy Furnace and could display all of its power, he could still borrow the Holy Furnace's power to raise his own results for a short period of time and refine the Ten Stripes Ancient Dao Pill.

"Feng Chen, where did you jump out from!"

Yao Yan looked at the light wall with a profound gaze. It could be said that Ye Chenfeng's calm performance today had completely exceeded Yao Yan's expectations. He kept thinking that it was the great power that had raised such a peerless monster.

"Could it be that Feng Chen is related to those old fellows?"

After thinking about it, Yao Yan thought about how only those few old guys from the Sky Hall were able to bring up a monster like Ye Chenfeng. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

However, what Yao Yan did not expect was that Ye Chenfeng did not have any relationship with Xuan Hong and the others. At that moment, Xuan Hong and the others in the Fire God Realm were also stunned by Ye Chonglou's stunning performance.

"Alright, today's semifinals are over. Once you advance to the semifinals, you will be able to rest for a day tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the day after tomorrow when the semifinals will begin!" The long letter floated in the air, looked around at the crowd of alchemists, and opened the entrance to the Heavenly Flame World.

"Let's go back!"

Ye Chenfeng and Jiao Yuyan, who had both leveled up, flew towards the entrance of the Skyfire Realm. Together with the other alchemists, they disappeared into the mysterious Skyfire Realm.
