g one feel an urge to sit down and meditate right away.But the scene before him was different from what he had expected. Logically, with such a rich concentration of spiritual energy, there should be..."Hahaha..."

The moment the doors to the Hall of Assessment closed, a wave of unrestrained laughter erupted outside, brimming with disdain and mockery.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Ma Kai, the eldest son of the Ma family, laughing heartily.

"Hilarious! Absolutely hilarious! This is the first time I've ever seen someone so clueless."

"Ma Kai laughed so hard he could barely breathe, chuckling as he said between fits of laughter, “How ridiculous! Someone who doesn’t even know what alchemy is dared to enter the Alchemy Competition and try to assess alchemists What a joke!”

Because I have some background, I don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. I thought that an alchemist was just something anyone could take the exam for

"To directly apply for a fifth-rank Alchemist is crazy, someone like that couldn't even pass the first rank."

His words were full of sarcasm, but the onlookers around him nodded in agreement, apparently not optimistic about Ye Bufan either.

Chen Youyou's expression immediately turned grave: "Don't talk nonsense, okay Brother Ye is very capable."

"Impressive I haven't seen anything impressive, but I've definitely seen stupidity with my own eyes!"

This is beyond ignorance, it's just plain stupid!

Ma Kai finished speaking and looked at Chen Kangnian next to him: “Uncle Chen, is what I said reasonable”

Chen Kangnian sighed, he also somewhat disagreed with Ye Bufan's actions in his heart, but for the sake of Zhong Limi's face, he still didn't say anything in the end.

However, Ma Kai became increasingly pleased. At this time, silence was tantamount to defaulting to his statement.

As long as the father-in-law doesn't approve of the other person, then my chances are greatly increased.

Seeing this guy openly mocking Ye Ge, Jiang Fangzhou's expression instantly turned cold.

"Kid, you think I, Big Brother Ye, can't pass the fifth level assessment"

"I never said he couldn't pass the fifth stage, I said he couldn't even pass the first."

Zhang Kai laughed arrogantly again, not taking these people from Tianluo Prefecture in the slightest.

In his consciousness, people from Tianluo State were synonymous with weakness. Naturally, he believed their cultivation was inferior to his, not to mention their family background.

Jiang Fangzhou stared at him with piercing eyes: "Is that so Then how about we make a bet"

Ma Kai curled his lips. "Come on, what are you betting"

"Bring on the excitement!"

Jiang Fangzhou curled the corner of his mouth into a sneer, "If my Big Brother Ye passed the fifth-stage assessment, I'll let you slap yourself one hundred times in public."

If you're the one, then let me slap myself a hundred times in public. How about it Dare you

His words were met with an uproar from the crowd. This way of betting was unprecedented.

To be beaten publicly one hundred times is more than just physical pain; it's a humiliation that scars your face and soul. No matter who suffers this, they will likely never be able to show their face in public again.

"Is this guy crazy No wonder he hangs out with that young man, his brain isn't very bright..."

"I see, what's the point of even fighting in this kind of gamble It's obvious you're going to lose..."

"The world has changed, how come I see so many people who aren't mentally right today..."

The people around were buzzing with conversation, all overwhelmingly against Ye Bufan and Jiang Fangzhou.

But the people from Tianluo State each wore sneering smiles. Though the test had just begun, they already knew the results.

Ye Bufan He's a direct disciple of Kunlun Qishen. He can even personally craft flying artifacts like the Nine Heavens, so how could he possibly fail this basic assessment.

This isn't gambling, it's just handing your face to Jiang Fangzhou for him to slap if Ma Kai nods.

But such a spiteful person is hateful to the extreme. They just sit there grinning, and none of them stand up to stop it.

Mark had no idea about these things, in his eyes, the other party was just handing themselves to him on a plate.

Ye Bufan came out of the assessment hall with a disheveled and embarrassed appearance. He planned to give this guy a good beating later, then Chen Youyou would naturally be able to see through his true colors.

Thinking of this, he became even more excited and shouted loudly: "Okay, this young master will add another condition. If I lose, I'll give you another ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."

He raised the stakes to show off and win over the crowd.

In his heart, he believed that even if he added ten million high-grade spirit stones, he wouldn't lose. Ye Bufan would never pass the fifth-order alchemist assessment no matter what.

"Okay, deal!"

Jiang Fangzhou looked at everyone present, "I ask you all to bear witness. Afterward, no one can deny it!"

Just as the saying goes, "Those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things, since it's not them getting beaten anyway," the onlookers readily agreed.

And just at that moment, two old men with black robes and white hair walked over.

Both were elders of the Alchemy Guild, one was Grand Elder Wen Ding, and the other was Second Elder Zhao Chengqi.

In the past, at this time of day, the Alchemist's Guild was always very quiet. I don't know why it suddenly became so lively today.

Two people walked up to the staff member: "What's going on So many people, what happened" "Greetings to both elders."

The young man hurried to bow respectfully, then briefly summarized the events that had transpired.

"Naughty!"

Wen Ding's expression was grim, his face very unsightly. "Nowadays, young people are really getting more and more arrogant. They don't know anything and actually dare to come here to be assessed as alchemists."

"Do you really think refining is that easy To go from the first stage to the fifth stage in just an hour"

It's no wonder he was so angry. First, the old man has always been extremely strict, and second, this kind of thing seemed utterly absurd to him.

Even with his abilities, he would absolutely be unable to pass the fifth-order assessment within an hour.

"Haha, bro, no need to get worked up over such arrogant fools."

Zhao Chengqi merely chuckled, "I guess this person knows nothing, not even what forging is, but they should have some common sense and wouldn't utter such arrogant words."

Even if the crafted weapon is of a low level, it still needs countless hammer blows and refinement. This is not a task that can be accomplished in a short time.

These two old men are authorities in the alchemy world. With their words, everyone around them immediately agreed.

Ma Kai became more and more smug: "Boy, did you see that Those two elders said that you are bound to lose today. Just wait to be slapped!"

Jiang Fangzhou glanced disdainfully and said, "Just because others can't, doesn't mean my brother can't!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Wen Ding let out a cold snort: "Now there are more and more arrogant people, no wonder the way of refining is deserted..."

The old man originally wanted to scold Jiang Fangzhou a few words, but before he could finish speaking, there was an exclamation from beside him.

"Look, that lamp is on!"

At the sound of his shout, everyone turned to look.

To prevent outside interference or disturbance during testing, the Testing Hall's defenses are extremely strict. Arrays are densely woven within, making it impossible for ordinary people to see what's inside, and even divine senses cannot penetrate them.

However, there are five lights outside, representing the test results from lowest to highest.

Now the lamp representing the 1st test result is lit, indicating that it has passed.

"This... this is impossible"

Everyone who knew the rule couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Wen Ding and Zhao Chengqi were particularly stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

They just finished saying that alchemy is a time-consuming and very complex process, but I didn't expect someone to pass the first stage in five minutes. Is there anything more exaggerated than thisim. Could he have escaped to the Dragon Realm or even the Demon Emperor's Heaven"The speaker was a middle-aged redhead, one of the three Fourth-Grade Sacred Dragons.It's no wonder he would have such f...
