Not only is he young, but he's also from the Izumo Empire.
The Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire were frequently at war and were considered enemy states.
The Izumo Empire is known for its prevalence of poison masters.
"President, is there a problem with the information?"
Chelsea asked from the side.
Fa Ma replied, "Judging from the opponent's soul fluctuations, he is at least at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist."
"There must be some mistake. A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade alchemist? How is that possible?"
Chelsea exclaimed.
You should know that the most talented alchemist in their Jia Ma Empire in recent years, the Pill King Gu He, has never become a fourth-grade alchemist at the age of seventeen.
"My intuition is never wrong..."
Fa Ma was very determined. He had been immersed in alchemy for many years and was very experienced. How could he not be able to distinguish such a thing?
He then looked at Nie Yuan and asked curiously, "The Gun King has been observing for a while, there must be a reason. What is your reason?"
Nie Yuan was taken aback when he was mentioned, knowing that he definitely couldn't talk about the plot.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I think his alchemy skills are very advanced, which is not the level that should be available at that age. After all, such skills require a lot of time to practice."
[Ding! Famot is showing surprise; emotion value +99]
He stared blankly at Nie Yuan. How could you be so shameless? Your own performance before was as skilled as if you had practiced for over ten years, wasn't it?
Given Nie Yuan's growth, cultivating his fighting spirit alone would take up a lot of time, leaving him no time to practice alchemy.
"Ahem, President Fama, we were talking about him."
Nie Yuan reached out and pointed to the person in the file.
Jia Xingtian frowned. "Is it possible that he's disguised?"
Fama didn't speak.
The gray-robed man was very well disguised; not only was he shrouded in gray robes, but he also wore a bamboo hat on his head.
"Why don't we lift it up and take a look?"
Fama hesitated.
"What's there to consider? This is the Gama Empire. He's just a man from the Izumo Empire. What can he do to us? Watch me."
Hai Bodong decisively stood up, his icy battle aura quietly overflowing and surging towards the gray-robed man.
Bang!
The gray-robed man tried to evade, but his hat was torn open, revealing a youthful face.
"No need to guess anymore, he actually managed to detect my cold aura in advance. If he were seventeen, I would have just retired to live out my remaining years."
Hai Bodong noticed the other person's gaze and stroked his chin, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
The gray-robed man's lips moved.
Although there was no sound, everyone could tell that he was saying "champion".
From then until the gray-robed man left, Fa Ma, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the others never took their eyes off him.
"So? Did you figure out how it was disguised?"
"Fama asked."
Hai Bodong and Jia Xingtian both shook their heads, their brows furrowed, indicating that they could not see any traces of disguise.
"Nie Yuan, you... hey, where are you?"
Fa Ma turned to ask, because Nie Yuan was the first to notice the other person's unusual behavior, but all he saw was an empty seat.
Hai Bodong said in a deep voice, "I can say with certainty that he is definitely not seventeen years old. Such a strong sense of danger cannot be cultivated without some kind of training."
"Could it be that he took some kind of elixir? It seems like there's a drug that can restore one's appearance to that of a teenager."
Jia Xingtian looked at Fa Ma, who was a professional when it came to matters of elixirs.
"We can't rule out that possibility, but if that happens, unless he admits it himself, we won't be able to find any evidence against him and make it public."
Fa Ma couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. The opponent's skills were simply not on the same level as Yao Yue and Liu Ling. If this continued, the championship might be taken by the Chu Yun Empire.
If that's really the case, then things will get really interesting. It would be a disgrace to the Alchemists' Guild of the Gama Empire.
After a short break and the results were tallied, the eliminated alchemists left the field, and the second match continued.
The gray-robed man returned to his position. His victory in the first round had attracted considerable attention.
Among them, Yao Yue couldn't help but cast a glance at him, and when she caught sight of the badge on his chest, she was stunned for a moment.
The badge depicts a sun about to rise.
That is clearly the symbol of the Izumo Empire!
"That guy is actually from the Izumo Empire!"
Yao Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.
Hearing the sound, Liu Ling turned her head to look and said in a deep voice, "We absolutely cannot let him win the championship!"
Yaoyue nodded.
As a member of the royal family, she understood even better the entanglements between the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire.
As the second round of competition ended, the sun set.
The number of alchemists who can still stand on the stage has plummeted from three digits to two digits.
The one with the best results was still the gray-robed alchemist.
Many eyes were fixed on that man, and many people were talking about him.
Yao Yue and Liu Ling looked somber as they stepped off the stage.
Although the third round starts tomorrow, the opponent's performance today shows that they cannot turn the tide in just one night.
"Liu Ling, you did a good job."
Hearing the sound, Liu Ling, who was under a lot of pressure, looked in the direction of the sound.
He was taken aback for a moment. "Elder Yunling, what brings you here?"
"Since you are participating in the competition for the Yunlan Sect, I, as the Grand Elder, will naturally be there."
Yun Leng revealed a gentle smile, but in reality, he wanted to take this opportunity to make an appearance after Liu Ling won the championship.
The previous incident involving the Mo family had severely damaged his reputation within the sect, and he originally wanted to find the culprit in hopes of salvaging some of his reputation.
Unfortunately, the other party was very secretive about their movements, and they gained nothing.
Yun Leng patted Liu Ling's shoulder affectionately, "Are you under a lot of pressure? Are you confident of winning the championship tomorrow?"
Liu Ling answered truthfully: "I was very confident, but I didn't expect a dark horse to emerge halfway through. The opponent's level is much higher than mine. I can only do my best tomorrow."
"Is that the kid who won first place today?"
Yunling had a deep impression of that person, firstly because the person was young, and secondly because the person came from the Izumo Empire.
Liu Ling nodded and clasped her hands in a fist salute. "Elder Yunling, I'll go back and rest now. There's another match tomorrow."
Yunling gripped his shoulders. "You're confident you can beat Yaoyue, aren't you?"
A look of confusion flashed across Liu Ling's face. She didn't understand why the other party asked that question, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she nodded in agreement.
"Get a good rest tonight."
Yunling patted him on the back and watched his figure disappear into the distance.
His eyes flickered, and he murmured softly, "Does a guy from the Izumo Empire even deserve to participate in the Gama Empire's competition? That kid looks very young, killing him shouldn't take much effort."
Because of taking over the Yunlan Sect, not only did he fail to achieve anything in a short period of time, he also made a mess of things.
At this moment, Yunling was eager to achieve something.
The championship title is his chance right now.
Anyone who tries to be a stumbling block must pay the price!
On the other side.
Hai Bodong stretched and said, "Want to have a drink together? We can also find out where that guy came from tonight."
"That's the only way. It would be best to expose his identity, otherwise the Champion Gama Empire will not be able to be saved."
Fama looked worried.
Jia Xingtian nodded and said, "Then let's see tonight what he's relying on to dare cause trouble in the Jia Ma Empire!"
