Chapter 113 Pass

"You can tell for sure that he cheated in the exam, earlier someone as young as him grasping a five star and making the alchemy masters to be really surprised." Hector said to the others who walked out with him after getting their alchemy token in their various ranks.

Hector for one was really enraged, he has spent years learning about the world of alchemist and he was really prepares to beat all odds and arrive at the top, garnering attention from big shots but who would have that on the day his light shone, another amazing light came to beat his own light.

The others didn't look that concerned, their ranks was enough for them, but it would be rewarding for them to catch someone who cheated on the alchemy exam.

"He left the cauldron and the ordinary flame and walled out of the exam hall to get something outside, don't you think he went out to meet an alchemist that gave him the answer to his question?" This was said by a twenty year old among them whose rank was three, he has the third highest score after Liam and hector.

"Yeah, according to exam rules no one even the examiner is allowed to leave the alchemy hall." Hector grinned.

"Tomorrow let's gather here early in the money to report this." The others nodded and went their separate ways while Liam rode on the flying shark on his way home.

He was done with the exam he has been practicing for the past months, today would be dedicated for him to enjoy himself a little and rest up for tomorrow.

He ate his lunch, red some random novels when he was bored and conversed with his bloodline souls anytime he was bored.

"In the past, you ruled the heavens with this flute, how did you manage to do that?" He asked the music monarch bloodline soul.

[Well, it was easy, once I cultivated to the top of the immortal cultivation, my will become stronger, all I did was use my will on a treasure that could withstand it's power, which brought about my jade flute. nevertheless, over the years, a lot of it's essence has lost due to the miscarriage by those earthlings without brains.]

"Does that mean they are more impeded in it, why don't you teach me tones since you are the one who made them, the song of spirit beast was really great and it's helps a lot, another one would be really great"

[Um.. sorry master, I could have done if I had the chance.]

"You have the chance, what kind of sinking excuse is that, you don't have a wife hidden in your soul that you wanna bang now, do you?"

[No, it's not like that. the ethereal harbinger won't allow it.]

Liam eyes furrowed slowly, this is the second time he have heard that name, the demon king of the first faction of hell said the same thing and now it was the music monarch bloodline soul saying it one more time.

His voice was shaky as he let out the name as though he was held at gunpoint by some thugs.

"This ethereal harbinger, who is he?"

[Error: communication with bloodline souls has entered a lock down that will last for 24 hours]

[Warning: system would be going offline, the inventory windows and other that does not require interaction will be open to host]

That was the last he heard of his system and the bloodline souls.

Everything was beginning to add up to something really mysterious, the demon king said ethereal harbinger back then and he wasn't that scared, probably because he was a demon and the music monarch was not.

It seems everyone was trying to hard that information from him and for some reasons, he did not want to give up trying to get to know the ethereal harbinger.

He completed the novel he was reading and slept in his room, the next morning he woke up at exactly seven a.m.

Because he was not training today, Elfina and Levina decided to prepare some beside meals for him.

The system was not around for that day so he went into using his own divine sense ro check for any odd stuff in the food, luckily for his maidservants there was none inside.

He ate them till his belly was filled, after that he went outside using his flying shark to reach the alchemy guild.

On the verge of getting inside, he saw three guys that looked really familiar, he recalled the other guys that took the alchemy exam alongside himself.

He also recalled that their token was given to them yesterday, which means they have no business here unless they are here to get stuffs and information that only the alchemy guild possesses.

Nevertheless, when he was inside he discovered everyone had a wierd look on their faces as they looked at him, it appeared as though he was a criminal awaiting judgement.

He looked pass them, the reason he came here today was to retrieve his token and not to look at some bull shits that just want to feed their eyes.

He met with Tang xu discussing with the same guy as yesterday, when he saw Liam, a strange look appeared on his face after which he stood up and stood before Liam.

"What are you looking for here, little man." He said in a rather impolite tone.

"Geezer, be respectful next time, I can slit your neck open if you disrespect me one more time."

Liam threatened with a red filled eyes that seems to be blazing with a very strong killing intent.

Tang xu was too week when it comes to cultivation so he maintened his tone and let Liam know of the matter on ground.

"Rumors have spread around the alchemy guild that you were involved in examination malpractice so the guild has decided to withhold your rank until you're done verifying your innocence." He said with a scornful look on his face.

"Is this some kind of joke or what, you can tell that I wrote the exam myself... if there is CCTV... I mean you guys should go through your record to see if I reallty cheated, who in the hell brought out such amount of shit because they were jealous or my prowess." Liam let out, his face having a frown in it.

He didn't even use the help of the system during the exam, but they were accusing him of such a thing.

​ No wonder those bastards hid in corners to look at him when he was coming in.

Liam looked at the two disdainfully. just then the P.R.O of the alchemist guild that marked his exam paper yesterday, he has a frown on his face.

Just yesterday he thought that Liam was a rare genius, he was even more sure of it when he broke the century old record for being the only one below the age of sixteen to ever get his hand on five star rank.

He even managed to get a perfect score in meridian erupting pill, one kind of pill that was hard to forge and refine.

"You are the young man called Liam right?" he asked, to which Liam responded with a nod.

"Follow me," He let out and began walking deeper into the alchemy guild building.

They got to a place where twelve alchemist stood, all dressed in their various expensive clothes having a unique and a noble aura around them.

"Liam, you have been reported for cheating during your master alchemist qualification exam and would be punished as follow, one your rank will fall by three, two you won't be able to take a grandmaster alchemist qualification exam for five years, and you won't be allowed into any alchemy contest around the world." One of them who was really jealous of his success yesterday took the chance to let Liam know how inferior he was before them.

"Calm your head, old man, why the heck did you think I get such perfect scores by cheating. who told you these fairytales if I may ask."

"A young alchemist called Hector and others who took the exam along with you have agreed that they caught in the act yesterday."

"How stupid, you called out all the punishment without even trying to judge if I was guilty or not.''

What a shitty rule, calling out punishment without trial.

The first and the last one are just minor ones, he could have at least let things go if it was just those two but what the fuck did they mean he would not be able to transcend to grandmaster realm.

"You are so arrogant, you don't even know when you are standing before seniors, you might get offed by some seniors with Hot tempers in the future."

The alchemist raged at him, except one of them, Konad who stood behind watching the whole thing happening.

He agreed to help Hector lay an accusation on Liam, he was going to take down the possible threat for his son. 1
