The barrier of mist seemed ethereal as it blocked everyone‘s line of sight, leaving everyone stunned at the sudden change.
The familiar wizened voice was heard again. “After choosing a furnace, a barrier will be placed around you, cutting off all contact with the outside world. When you’ve refined a pill or decided to give up, you can get rid of the barrier.”
Jack raised an eyebrow at this and could not help but feel impressed by the competition’s organizer. Everything had been properly arranged. With the barrier, favonovel.com would be spared a lot of trouble.
He did not have to worry about anyone interrupting him. After all, favonovel.com would be separated from the outside the moment the barrier was up. The person inside would not know how others were progressing and thus would not feel pressured. They would be able to get past five days peacefully.
Jack let out a sigh as favonovel.com frowned and looked at the furnaces. He could not control What everyone else was doing, but his only thought was just to quickly finish the round.
Jack might have the memories from the past and be confident with those ancient pill runes, but favonovel.com refused to kick things back and take a breather until the results were out.
He wanted to give himself enough time.
The furnaces were split into six rows of five. After thinking about it, favonovel.com walked to the last one in the sixth row. He was already used to looking for corners. In the end, all the furnaces were exactly the same, so there was no difference no matter which one favonovel.com picked. When favonovel.com stepped within the 90-centimeter range from it, a bundle of mist rose around him, turning into a barrier that cut favonovel.com off from the outside world.
At that moment, Jack felt more relaxed than favonovel.com ever had, despite the fact that favonovel.com was already calm during this time. Unless anyone crossed the line with their words or directly affected Jack’s benefits, favonovel.com would not bother with them, treating their words as nonsense. However, everyone was still too noisy, much to his chagrin. The barrier separated favonovel.com completely from the outside world, which made Jack quite happy.
Finally, favonovel.com did not need to listen to their nonsense anymore.
The last furnace on the sixth row was incredibly close to where Jack had been. After favonovel.com walked over, the people around favonovel.com had not even had the time to react before the barrier separated Jack from everyone else. He was the second person to enter a barrier. When everyone else reacted, they felt their lips twitching.
Exasperated, Ethan snorted. “I guarantee that something is wrong with this kid’s head. He seems more enthusiastic than anyone, jumping into the challenge after someone else started. I wonder if he’s that confident or if he’s just ignorant.”
The alchemists from White Marsh Continent behind Ethan all discussed among themselves as well.
“Who knows what goes on in his head? It looks like favonovel.com doesn’t know what nine hundred eighty-three ancient pill runes actually represent. Otherwise, how could favonovel.com be so confident? Even I’m not confident that I’ll be able to perfectly condense nine hundred eighty-three pill ancient pill runes in five days. We even need to guarantee that they’ll have a fifty percent refinement rate!”
After saying that, favonovel.com sighed. It felt as though favonovel.com was shouldering two large rocks on his shoulders, causing favonovel.com to not be able to even stand up straight. He could not handle the difficulty.
