Chapter 1981 The Duel

3 figures appeared from the cloud, landing in the center space where the alchemy match was taking place. Alex recognized two of them.

One of them was Supreme Alchemist Han, and the other one was Blackfrost, the guild master of the Blackfrost Alchemy guild.

The last man was an old white-haired man with a clean-shaven face and a red splotch of birthmark on the side of his face.

Alex had never seen him before, but people all around him recognized the man and uttered his name.

Supreme Alchemist Bluehorn. He was apparently the guild master of the Bluehorn Alchemy guild on the eastern side of the city.

In total, of the five people in the center where the competition was taking place, four of them were Supreme Alchemists. The awe that spread around the crowd seeing all of those alchemists together was something else.

Some small announcements were quickly made to explain how the duel would take place. Each of the alchemists had 3 chances to make any pill they wanted to, and the pill with the highest harmony would win.

The three Supreme Alchemists that had joined later on were there to judge the match and make sure everything was fair. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Both the Supreme Alchemist Ming and Superior Alchemist Wang nodded in their understanding of the requirements and got ready to make their pills.

The match began and everyone became quiet as they watched. Alex remained silent and looked at the two figures making a pill.

The woman began with her gray cauldron, burning a bright fire underneath it. She waited for the cauldron to get hot, and in that time the man began as well.

His fire burned blue instead of regular red and yellow, a clear sign that it was a special type of flame.

Alex had seen Supreme Alchemist Han using a special type of flame when making his pills too. Was that perhaps required to become a Supreme Alchemist?

Alex didn't see why that would be required. He could make 100% pills without the use of any such flames at all.

Maybe one didn't need a special flame to become a Supreme Alchemist. Maybe they became a Supreme Alchemist because they had the flame.

The two guild masters moved toward each of the individuals, taking their pill bottles to test the pill inside. Both bottles had only one pill as only the best one was left inside.

The two of them separately tested the pills and then handed them to each other to test the other one. After testing, they convened together and talked among themselves before making the announcement.

Alchemist Han moved up front and said, "We now have the result. If you all will be quiet, we will reveal it now."

The entire crowd immediately stopped cheering as everyone watched Alchemist Han intently to learn what the result had been.

"Superior Alchemist Wang managed to make a pill with a total harmony of 88%."

A section of the crowd cheered immediately, but many of them remained quiet. Most of them were smiling as they realized that the person whose result was announced first never actually won.

"As for Supreme Alchemist Ming, he has managed to make a pill with a total harmony of..."

The crowd waited patiently for the answer, eager to learn the number. Alchemist Han took a second to reveal the answer.

"...94%."

The crowd was stunned for a moment, and then the cheers began.

"I'm rich!" the young man next to Alex shouted. "Me too!" the other one shouted as well.

All around Alex, people either cheered because they got rich, or simply because they had managed to see firsthand how an Alchemist could make a pill of 94% harmony.

Such a pill would sell for thousands of Immortal spirit stones, and one was just made right in front of them. It was an incredible moment for all of them.

Alex was quite impressed by the harmony level the Supreme Alchemist had reached, but he couldn't help but think that he was holding back. After all, he had only made the pill just once. Had he made all 3 pills, he would most certainly have a chance to improve after all.

He looked toward the female alchemist whose face was completely blank, as though she could not believe what had happened.

But how could she not? She had been the challenger here, and as a Superior Alchemist, she should have never challenged a Supreme Alchemist she knew she could never beat.
