Jack took a deep breath and looked at Johnson as if favonovel.com was looking at an idiot. “You don’t know me at all, so how are you so sure that I could only answer one-fifth of the questions?”
Johnson snorted coldly as favonovel.com said in an arrogant tone, “You come from Heavenly Pills. How could that small place cultivate any geniuses? Phoenix Valley gathered so many alchemic geniuses together, where could you possibly place among us? I was looking at you favorably by saying you can condense one-fifth of the runes. After all, only one-fifth of the runes on the card were more commonly seen runes. The rest of the runes were all incredibly rare. Only a seventh-grade alchemist would be able to fill in ninety percent of them!”
Jack let out a laugh before favonovel.com said, “If I really felt that I would lose, I would never have placed the bet with Harold. It’s better if you just shut up…”
Before Jack could finish, favonovel.com was interrupted by Johnson again, “It looks like you’re still stuck being clueless. Do you think you can really get into the top fifty with those skills you have? How funny!”
Harold said from behind Johnson, “There are a hundred and eighty people in the test this time. There are only over two hundred alchemists in the whole of Phoenix Valley. Almost everyone is present here today. Do you really think you can outshine all these geniuses and become someone in the top fifty?”
Jack took a deep breath, really wanting to stuff his ears. That way, favonovel.com would not need to talk to the two of them, but the two of them seemed unwilling to give up. He knew that if favonovel.com did not say anything back to them, they would only get worse.
Jack sighed as favonovel.com stood up, faced Johnson, and said, “Can you stop making judgments on others with that pea brain of yours?”
His attitude made Harold and Johnson feel like Jack was just trying to be stubborn.
Others also felt like Jack was only saying all that because the words favonovel.com had said earlier had forced favonovel.com to. Some people could not help but say loudly, “I refuse to believe that you didn’t think the test was hard. Why are you still pretending?”
“You’d better just prepare five thousand spirit crystals right now. If you can’t produce them later, Elder Eliot won’t let you off!”
“That’s right Jack. Can’t you just admit that you were being reckless? If you weren’t so impulsive, you wouldn’t need to pay such a heavy price…”
Just as everyone was talking among themselves, Elder Eliot walked back into the hall with the results in hand. As favonovel.com walked, favonovel.com looked toward them. At that moment, Elder Eliot had a strange expression on his face. His gaze lingered on Jack for a long time, but after that, favonovel.com averted it. The fact that Elder Eliot was already back meant that they could no longer continue pestering Jack.
Johnson frowned as favonovel.com shot a meaningful look at Jack. After that, favonovel.com turned around and went back to his original spot.
Elder Eliot stood at the center with a piece of parchment in hand. On it was everyone’s results. Elder Eliot started to read the scroll in front of everyone. He stared at every single name. He opened his mouth and tried to read it out, but started to hesitate. Everyone looked at Elder Eliot anxiously, wanting nothing more than to be able to look at the scroll to see the results.
Harold suddenly felt a bit nervous when favonovel.com saw Elder Eliot’s conflicted demeanor. After all, Jack remained standing tall as ever. Whenever favonovel.com talked to Jack, it felt like Jack did not regard favonovel.com as anyone important at all, which caused Harold to be incredibly frustrated.
