1180 Everyone Was Dumbfounded
As the news of the situation in the other assessment hall spread, the commotion in the crowd became more and more intense. It was so intense that even the two people who were confronting each other on the stage sensed that something was wrong.
Soon, they knew what the problem was. They saw a young man in black walking in. Beside him was a young and beautiful woman. Not far from him, a group of people followed him in.
Everyone’s gaze fell on these people, but they quickly understood that the young man in black who was leading them should be the person who had just got the grand slam.
“It’s him? He looks very young too.”
“He is indeed very young. He looks to be at most twenty years old.”
“Another young genius?”
“Young people nowadays are really more powerful than the last!”
Chu Yunfan walked into the hall and found that it was already crowded with people. It seemed that only two people had applied for the assessment.
“Ah!” Ye Qiaoxin exclaimed. She suddenly remembered that Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er were going to fight here today.
Or rather, she was completely shocked by Chu Yunfan’s astonishing performance and had only just recalled the battle between Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er.
“Do you want us to change it to another day?” Ye Qiaoxin asked then told Chu Yunfan about the fight between the two of them.
Now that everyone had changed the time of the application for the assessment, it was natural to give way to the two of them. Many people also wanted to know who was more powerful between the two.
Only then did Chu Yunfan know that such a thing actually happened. However, he immediately said, “No, today is fine. I don’t have that much time.”
Chu Yunfan’s time was very tight. He had to plan his every day so he didn’t have that much time to waste here.
Besides, what did their plan have to do with him?
Chu Yunfan’s words, in Ye Qiaoxin’s ears, must have raised the idea of comparison. Although Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er were very famous, from today’s situation, Chu Yunfan’s achievements in alchemy would not be worse than these two.
It was even very likely that Chu Yunfan had chosen to come today because of these two.
If Chu Yunfan knew what Ye Qiaoxin was thinking, he would not know whether to laugh or cry. He had not chosen the time at all. Even if he had come by coincidence, he would not have known who Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er were.
Besides, even if he knew, he didn’t care, nor did he want to compete with the two of them. In the eyes of others, perhaps Chu Yunfan was enough to compete with the two geniuses, but in his eyes, these two people were not enough to compete with him, and he had no intention of competing.
Chu Yunfan strode in. Bai Shengzu stepped forward and said, “Who are you? Don’t you know that we’ve booked this place today?”
“Oh? I didn’t know that the Alchemist Association had turned into a restaurant and could actually be booked.” Chu Yunfan didn’t even look at him and went straight to an advanced test machine.
“Why you…” Bai Shengzu was at a loss for words. The reason why this situation occurred was that everyone had deliberately avoided and retreated, but that didn’t mean that others couldn’t take the assessment in the same round.
At this time, the two people from behind the stage ran out from the side and told them about Chu Yunfan.
The two of them looked at Chu Yunfan in shock. A grand slam. This was a result they didn’t have. Of course, they didn’t think that Chu Yunfan was very good. If they were to take the assessment now, they would also have a high chance of getting a grand slam.
Chu Yunfan had only delayed applying for the assessment and only wanted to show up today to amaze everyone.
“So you also have some backing.” Bai Shengzu, who now knew the whole story, stepped forward and glanced at Chu Yunfan.
“But don’t think that a grand slam is so great. We can do it too. We just don’t want to cause a scene.”
On the other side, Jiang Lan’er also looked at Chu Yunfan with an unfriendly expression. She also thought that he had chosen to come at this time to provoke them.
Even if Chu Yunfan was covered in mouths, he couldn’t explain it clearly. Moreover, he didn’t intend to explain himself.
Chu Yunfan’s mouth twitched slightly, but he couldn’t be bothered.
Suddenly, the crowd became restless again. The branch president of the Alchemist Association from Conglong City, Kong Buyi, strode in.
“Why is the president here?”
“The president has also been alerted!”
“Looks like this battle is not simple!”
Everyone was discussing animatedly, and Jiang Lan’er was similarly dumbstruck. She had clearly heard her master say before that he would not appear because he did not want to give some people in the capital any leverage.
But now, he had unexpectedly appeared. And it was clearly not because of her. It could only be because of this guy who had suddenly appeared.
“Can we start now? If you don’t start, I’ll go first,” Chu Yunfan said directly. He was too lazy to wait for them, and he had no intention of competing. That was just a boring guess by others.
Kong Buyi didn’t like Chu Yunfan’s words, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he said directly, “I’m just here to observe. Don’t be nervous, everyone. Go ahead and start.”
Bai Shengzu and Jiang Lan’er quickly took their places in front of the advanced test machines.
The three of them entered the assessment state almost at the same time. No one said anything more.
When he entered the assessment space, Chu Yunfan realized that the questions had been reduced to five hundred, but the difficulty had increased a lot. This was because the content of these assessments had changed from basic content such as seeing pictures and identifying herbs to writing down the specific effects of these herbs, how many kinds of pills could be used, and so on. The difficulty was completely different from that of an advanced alchemy apprentice.
It was completely different.
Therefore, many alchemy apprentices would never be able to pass the senior alchemist level in their entire lives. The difficulty of the assessment increased exponentially.
Of course, this might be a problem for others, but for Chu Yunfan, it was not difficult at all. In fact, the answers he could answer far exceeded the scope of the question bank of the test machine.
After answering the questions, it was soon time for the pill-making segment. Compared to a senior alchemy apprentice, the difficulty of making pills for a junior alchemist was several times higher, and the number of pills had increased to dozens.
If all of this were done in the real world, who knew how long it would take to complete? However, in the advanced test machine, it could be completed quickly.
This was also the fundamental purpose of the Alchemy Emperor creating the test machine back then.
As time passed, two hours passed under everyone’s watchful eyes. When many people began to feel bored, Chu Yunfan suddenly took off his helmet.
Everyone’s eyes widened. He had finished the assessment?
