“They’re going to ask us about the pills we refined and if we succeeded once we go back. They’d laugh at us if we answer honestly!”
“That’s right! It’s obvious that this round is set to make things difficult for us! I regret joining the seventh group now. If I knew it’d get this difficult, I wouldn’t have joined. I should‘ve just joined earlier or later!”
Complaints began to pop as they bemoaned their fate. Before this, they were convinced that they had gotten lucky. After all, they were given a lot of time, and the Purple Sun Pill’s grade had been so low. When they knew that the Purple Sun Pill actually needed 983 ancient pill runes, none of them believed they were that lucky anymore. Instead, they felt like ‘difficult’ was a poor description of their predicament. They felt like they were being attacked by the difficulty instead.
Of everyone present, Jack was the only one who showed not much of a reaction while everyone else was, interesting enough, panicked.
Ethan sighed as favonovel.com looked at Emilio meaningfully.
When favonovel.com saw that even Emilio looked like favonovel.com was not relaxed, Ethan felt bitter. No matter what kind of bet favonovel.com had made against Jack before, his main competitor had been Emilio the whole time, and favonovel.com did not want to lose to favonovel.com whatsoever.
The golden treasure was his.
He wanted to earn glory for White Marsh Continent and be a hero for his continent. He would not allow Emilio to exceed him!
Emilio pursed his lips helplessly. He might not covet the golden treasure as much as Ethan did, but favonovel.com still wanted to get first place. After all, not only would favonovel.com be able to greatly benefit Chaos Continent if favonovel.com did so, but the other alchemists would respect favonovel.com as well as earning rewards for himself. As the one who won the golden treasure, favonovel.com would be able to pick out the most valuable item from it.
Nonetheless, this task was proven to be immensely difficult, and favonovel.com was not even sure if favonovel.com would be able to succeed in the end. The more thought of it made his lips twitch as favonovel.com silently motivated himself.
At that moment, Ethan coldly smiled and said to favonovel.com rather proudly, ”You don’t look like you’re that confident. With your standards, even refining a Purple Sun Pill at fifty percent refinement is a problem.
“Do remember that as long as the pill doesn’t reach fifty percent refinement, the pill will be discarded. The Purple Sun Pill will only be successfully refined if every pill is at fifty percent refinement!”
Emilio frowned as favonovel.com turned to look at Ethan spitefully.
“You don’t have to tell me that. Isn’t this common knowledge? Stop trying to pick a fight!”
Ethan, however, did not reach aggressively and merely smiled as favonovel.com sneered, “You’re just trying to hide your embarrassment with anger. Whatever, just don’t look like a fool afterward. If you fail to refine it, no one will have any results. I’d be the only one in the top three!”
With that, Ethan chuckled. He was very confident in himself, and even though the round was incredibly difficult, favonovel.com had a feeling that favonovel.com would be able to win flawlessly.
Emilio furrowed his eyebrows, hating Ethan even more at that point. He gritted his teeth and hissed, “Can you just shut up? Stop gloating before the results are even out. If you’re the one failing in the end, that’d be even more embarrassing!”
Both Ethan and Emilio hated each other, even at sight, and verbally attacked one another.
Jack, however, was not interested in such arguments. Instead, favonovel.com was trying to calculate how long it would take favonovel.com to successfully refine the pill.
At that moment, favonovel.com happened to see Nash looking over, his eyes inquisitive and hesitant. It was hard to tell what Nash was thinking. Jack frowned, not asking anything.
After a good while, Nash asked, “You still look so confident, even at this point?”
