Chapter 2363 Shocking the Venue

Silence filled the competition venue as everyone stared at Silent Wonders triple-moon Alchemist Insignia.

They could all understand Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian becoming Advanced Master Alchemists, but none of them could fathom out Silent wonder had become one as well.

It wasnt easy to reach Advanced Master rank. Even now, very few of Gods Domains superpowers had successfully nurtured an Advanced Master Alchemist, yet Zero Wing had. It was utterly unbelievable.

How is this possible?! Cold Memory was shocked to see Silent Wonders Advanced Master Alchemist Insignia. How has she been promoted so quickly?

Completing the requirements to become an Advanced Master Alchemist was easier said than done. Aside from talent, the rare resources required for research and experimentation were more than enough to give any superpower a huge headache. Dark Pursuit had only been able to supply these resources due to its control in the Moon Gods World and access to precious alchemical resources.

This was why Cold Memory was so confident in Dark Pursuits ability to nurture Advanced Master Alchemists. Any other superpower would likely run out of materials before one of its alchemists could reach Advanced Master rank.

Zero Wing had the Research Workshop, but that only provided guidelines to assist the Guilds Lifestyle players. In doing so, it would only slightly reduce the amount of materials one would need for their experiments. Moreover, Silent Wonder had been some time away from reaching Advanced Master rank during their last meeting. She hadnt progressed as far as Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian, who had stood before the threshold to Advanced Master rank.

Even as talented as Silent Wonder was, she shouldve needed another fortnight to complete her promotion, yet she had caught up with Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian in less than a week. Cold Memory couldnt imagine how Zero Wing had helped her accomplish the feat.

Even Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian, who stood beside Silent Wonder, were astonished.

Little Sis actually succeeded? Silk Moon could not help but glance at Shi Feng, who watched from the spectator stands, with a soft smile. It seems Zero Wing is quite capable, after all.

Silk Moon knew better than anyone here how difficult it was to reach Advanced Master rank. One needed talent and resources. Anyone who said otherwise was either lying or a fool.

An Advanced Master Alchemist! Hahaha! This girl is quite impressive! Long Xianglong laughed when he saw the Alchemist Insignia in Silent Wonders hand. Now, he was even more determined to take the girl with him to the western continent.

Even without a superpowers support, Silent Wonder had become an Advanced Master Alchemist. She proved to be frighteningly talented.

Long Xianglong acknowledged that Zero Wing had played a massive role in his nieces success, but how could such a small Guild compete with the Azure Chamber of Commerces resources?

When the Duan Familys members saw that Silent Wonder was also an Advanced Master Alchemist, they watched on with grim expressions. Although the final victor would decide the competitions outcome, the fact that the Long Family had one more Advanced Master Alchemist than they did gave their competitor an edge.

Why are you so worried? Shes merely an Advanced Master Alchemist, Duan Hanshan said as he eyed the people around him. So what if shes a talented alchemist? This competition wont be won on alchemy standards alone.

The competition would determine which of the two families had a stronger heir. Even though this was an alchemy competition, it wasnt any ordinary battle between alchemists.

High alchemy standards would provide an advantage, but combat power would also play a significant role.

The participants would have to fight for the materials they needed. If they werent strong enough in combat, they wouldnt secure enough materials, and without materials, how were they supposed to brew the required potion?

With Duan Hanshans comment, realization dawned on the other Duan Family members. After all was said and done, this competition would rely on the strength of the competitors backers. In this regard, Zero Wing was no match for Dark Pursuit.

While everyone chatted amongst themselves, Hermit, who had inspected all six participants insignias, spoke again.

Since the remaining participants have met the minimum requirements, lets officially begin this competition. As you all know, the participants are required to produce Meditation Soul Potions, an Intermediate Master Potion. However, participants must earn their required materials, Hermit explained as he gestured to an approaching group of players. These players carried gigantic cages into the venue, all containing incredibly powerful beasts. He then turned to Silk Moon, Yan Xiaoqian, and Silent Wonder. You will face these Level 100 wild beasts. You will earn more materials by defeating stronger monsters. Of the monsters weve prepared, the weakest is a Lord; for defeating this monster, youll acquire three sets of materials. The next monster is a High Lord, and youll earn six sets for defeating it.

You will not be required to defeat the Level 100 Great Lord, but if you survive against it for ten minutes, youll receive ten sets of materials. If you survive for ten minutes against the Level 100 Grand Lord, youll receive twenty sets of materials. However, you will only have one chance to challenge a monster, so choose wisely.

As Hermit finished his explanation, a commotion erupted in the venue.

The Azure Chamber of Commerce is so generous! Its captured so many Level 100 wild beasts!

Crap! Isnt this challenge a little too difficult? Not even Level 100 Refinement Realm experts can defeat a Level 100 Lord one-on-one, yet its the weakest monster here. Do the participants even stand a chance?

The various superpowers felt a cold chill when they saw Azures Level 100 wild beasts. Capturing wild beasts to tame as Mounts was extremely difficult, especially at such a high level. Ordinary powers couldnt afford to spare the amount of manpower the task would require, yet Azure used these precious Level 100 wild beasts to test its heirs strength.

Even the various superpowers upper echelons thought this competition was absurdly difficult.

At this stage of the game, Level 100 peak experts would, at most, be strong enough to challenge a Level 100 High Lord. If they encountered a Level 100 Great Lord alone, theyd have no choice but to flee. Even worse, Lifestyle players had far less combat power than actual combat players. Whether or not Silk Moon and the others could fight a Level 100 Lord was already questionable, not to mention a High Lord.

The various superpowers members couldnt help but glance at Silent Wonder in pity.

Of the three remaining participants, only Silent Wonder was under Level 100. Other experts might be impressed that she had reached Level 99, but it put her at an overwhelming disadvantage in this competition.

Although there was only one level between Level 99 and 100, the difference between the strength one could command at those levels was tremendous. A Level 100 player would have far more control and flexibility than a Level 99 player, and the difference between the Basic Attributes provided by equipment was just as drastic.

I had never thought youd become an Advanced Master Alchemist before the competition as well. Had you joined Dark Pursuit, we might have been rivals in this competition. However, it seems youll just be watching from the sidelines,

Yan Xiaoqian said, chuckling. If you have to assign blame, blame yourself for being so stubborn. Rather than accept Dark Pursuits invitation, you chose to remain with a non-superpower like Zero Wing.

Everyone has constantly compared Silent Wonder and Yan Xiaoqian, assuming one of them would win this competition. However, their Guilds were simply on different levels. Now, only Silk Moon had a chance of giving Yan Xiaoqian a run for her money.

Silk Moon was powerful in every aspect and had been known as an unrivaled genius. Unfortunately, she had become quite strange after surviving an illness a few years ago. Now, Yan Xiaoqian didnt even think of Silk Moon as a competitor.

Cold Memory and South Dream watched the three participants, frustrated. They had thought Silent Wonder had a significantly higher chance of winning now that she had become an Advanced Master Alchemist, but even they would struggle in this competition, not to mention Silent Wonder.

Pick a difficulty. Remember, you only have one opportunity. You wont get a second chance, Hermit told the three young women before him.

This trial wasnt a simple test of strength; it would also test the participants understanding of their strength.

I choose the High Lord, Silk Moon said after giving the matter some thought.

I choose the High Lord, as well, Yan Xiaoqian said without hesitation.

Hearing Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqians decision, Hermit nodded, satisfied. He then turned to Silent Wonder, curious about which beast the girl would choose. Although Silent Wonder hadnt yet reached Level 100, she should have a chance against a Level 100 Lord. If she could defeat it, shed still have a chance at victory.

I wonder which difficulty Silent Wonder will choose?

Is that necessary? Shell definitely challenge the Lord. Thats her only hope. If she tries to face the High Lord, shell likely die after a single hit.

I guess youre right. Shes talented, but its a pity she only has Zero Wings support. If she were backed by a superpower, even an ordinary one, she might have had a chance against Silk Moon and Yan Xiaoqian.

Quietly, the audience discussed Silent Wonders situation, glancing at Shi Feng with mocking sneers. So what if Zero Wing were supported by Giants Heart? In the end, Zero Wings weakness would be exposed before them all.

While everyone softly talked among themselves, Silent Wonder had made her decision and looked at Hermit, announcing, I choose the Grand Lord!
