"Why are you in such a hurry? Master Xia hasn't finished what he's saying yet!"
Ling Xiao glanced at him and said indifferently.
“Need I say more? Only twenty-nine people passed the first level, and you are not one of them, Ling Xiao! Don’t dawdle, kneel down and kowtow if you are a man!”
Zhao Ritian's face was filled with excitement. He pointed at Ling Xiao from above and spoke arrogantly.
"Um... Mr. Zhao, I haven't finished my announcement yet..."
Xia Yan looked at Zhao Ritian awkwardly. He was speechless about this funny guy, but knowing Zhao Ritian's identity, he didn't dare to offend him too much.
"What?"
Zhao Ritian was stunned.
"Um... Ling Xiao is the 30th, with 300 points! So there are a total of 30 people who have passed the first level, and you can all enter the second level!"
Xia Yan simply finished speaking in one breath.
Suddenly, Zhao Ritian was dumbfounded.
Xia Hongxiu was stunned.
Many alchemists were also stunned!
"What the hell? Ling Xiao actually got 300 points?"
Many alchemists almost vomited blood, their eyes full of disbelief.
You know, even Zheng Ying, who ranked 29th, is a top-notch alchemist. Ling Xiao actually got 300 points. Doesn't that mean that his knowledge of alchemy is comparable to that of a top-notch alchemist
This is too unbelievable!
Especially Zhao Ritian, his face turned green instantly.
"Impossible! It's impossible. Ling Xiao is not an alchemist at all. How could he get 300 points? He must have cheated. Even if he didn't cheat, you must have made a mistake!"
Zhao Ritian looked like a madman, his eyes almost popped out, his head shook like a rattle, his face full of disbelief.
Xia Yan's expression changed, and his voice became a little cold: "Mr. Zhao, please respect yourself! When answering the questions just now, everyone saw that Ling Xiao did not cheat! As for my mistake, this is Ling Xiao's answer, you can see it for yourself!"
There was a flash of light in Xia Yan's hand, and Ling Xiao's answers were instantly posted on the wall, revealing the situation of each of Ling Xiao's questions.
"First question, Bai Linglong, nine hundred years... all correct!"
"Question 2... All correct!"
"Question 3... All correct!"
"… "
"Question 74, all correct!"
"Question 75, all correct!"
"Question 76, eh, why is there no answer to question 76?"
Many alchemists stared at Ling Xiao's answer. The more they looked, the more frightened they became. There was not a single mistake.
A total of seventy-five questions, each worth four points, a total of three hundred points, all correct!
But what shocked many alchemists was that Ling Xiao only completed seventy-five questions, and the remaining questions were all left blank!
In other words, Ling Xiao only answered seventy-five questions and scored 300 points.
"He... did this on purpose?"
Someone exclaimed, with a hint of horror in his eyes.
The first seventy-five questions were all correct, and many of the answers gave people a sense of enlightenment. No one thought that Ling Xiao could only answer seventy-five questions and not the remaining ones.
Then there is only one possibility, Ling Xiao did it on purpose!
You know, in the first seventy-five questions, even Zhao Ritian lost two points, Master Jiaomu, Master Chonghe and Master Chongming lost more than ten points, while Ling Xiao did not lose a single point.
Does this mean that Ling Xiao's alchemy level is even better than Zhao Ritian's
This possibility shocked everyone!
"It's actually 300 points!"
Zhao Ritian was like a deflated ball. He was dumbfounded and his face was full of distraught look.
He couldn't believe it and even suspected Ling Xiao of cheating, but when Ling Xiao's answer was posted, everyone was immediately silenced.
Ling Xiao did get 300 points, and it seemed like he still had some energy to spare.
"You... you are also an alchemist? Ling Xiao, you are kidding me!"
Zhao Ritian suddenly thought of something, stood up abruptly, pointed at Ling Xiao and said angrily, his face full of grievance.
If Zhao Ritian knew that Ling Xiao was an alchemist, he would not have been so confident. Instead, he ended up shooting himself in the foot.
Zhao Ritian felt very wronged. Ling Xiao was too hateful, too cunning, and too shameless!
"I never said I don't understand the Dao of Alchemy!"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly, then turned and walked behind the gate, moved the nine gate stones over, and threw them at Zhao Ritian's feet.
Bang!
The nine gate-guarding stones made a crisp sound, which immediately scared Zhao Ritian, and as if he thought of something, sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Zhao Ritian, fulfill your bet! A real man should keep his word. You won't go back on your word, right?"
Ling Xiao looked at the silent Zhao Ritian and said with a smile.
Looking at the nine gate stones, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips and felt a toothache. If they swallowed such hard gate stones, all the teeth in their mouths would be broken.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Zhao Ritian with sympathy in their eyes.
"This... This is too much! How about I have one piece?"
Zhao Ritian felt his legs going weak and his teeth aching. He looked at Ling Xiao with a sad face.
"I didn't expect that Zhao Ritian, the most handsome and intelligent alchemy genius in the Eight Desolate Region, would be a villain who goes back on his word! Oh... forget it, since you don't keep your word, are shameless, despicable, and break your promises..."
Ling Xiao sighed lightly, and his words made Zhao Ritian's face turn green.
"Stop, stop, stop! I am Zhao Ritian, a real man. My words are as good as gold. How could I go back on my word? Aren't they just nine gate-guarding stones? I'll eat them!"
Zhao Ritian interrupted Ling Xiao and said with gritted teeth.
Snap!
Zhao Ritian grabbed a gate stone and took a bite of it.
His teeth emitted a faint glow. After all, he had already cultivated to the Grandmaster level. His inside and outside were integrated, his internal organs were strong, and his digestive ability was also very strong. Zhao Ritian's teeth were also extremely hard, and he bit off a large piece of the gate stone in one bite.
Zhao Ritian looked at Ling Xiao with eyes full of anger, as if what he was eating in his mouth was not the gate-guarding stone but Ling Xiao's flesh.
Zhao Ritian chewed up a gate stone and swallowed it in just a few bites. However, the black granite was too hard. Even though Zhao Ritian had sharp teeth, he still felt the pain and was about to cry.
"The first piece! Great genius Zhao, there are still eight pieces to go!"
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Humph, you don't need to remind me, I, Zhao Ritian, will always keep my word!"
Zhao Ritian picked up another gate stone and started to chew it, which made everyone around him feel sympathetic.
Xia Hongxiu also had a strange look on her face.
Soon, Zhao Ritian gnawed on eight gate stones, burped, and then grabbed the ninth gate stone.
Snap!
A crisp sound was heard. The gate stone was extremely solid and there was no trace of it. However, several of Zhao Ritian's teeth were broken and his mouth was full of blood foam. He cried in pain and started screaming.
"Diamond rock? How can this gate-guarding stone be diamond rock? Aren't the good ones black granite? You all bully me, even a broken stone..."
Zhao Ritian's face was full of grievance and he began to wail.
Diamond rock, that is the treasure of nature and earth that is used to refine precious weapons. It is extremely strong, dozens or hundreds of times stronger than black granite. No matter how strong Zhao Ritian's teeth are, they can never compare to diamond rock.
Which wicked guy uses the diamond rock as a gate stone
Zhao Ritian was in so much pain that he wanted to kill someone!
"Well, Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry, a piece of black granite was broken before, so we took a piece of diamond rock to replace it. I forgot to tell you..."
Xia Yan said somewhat embarrassedly.
