Fane reached out and patted Rudy on the shoulder, pointing at the condensing card. "Have a go at it. If you pass, we'll be able to bring four people inside and get forty thousand spirit crystals. Even if you fail, you don't have to feel bad. We'd have two less people to bring in."Rudy frowned as he looked around with concern. In truth, he had a lot he wanted to say. He was not too confident, but with them being surrounded, it was not the time for him to say anything. He was forced to swallow those words.He nodded vigorously and sighed, walking right to the nearest condensing plate. That condensing plate had two people queuing up for it, so it would be Rudy's turn in just half an hour.Fane looked at Rudy and felt rather proud. The older version of Rudy would have fought back after hearing what the alchemists had to say, which, to Fane, was irrational behavior.Rudy being able to control his emotions meant that he was maturing.Rudy and Fane's actions seemed to amuse the group of
"You b*stard!" snarled Mark. "You still think that you can do as you please, but you'll quickly realize otherwise!"Fane merely sported a small smile, not caring about what Mark was saying at all.Gent, on the other hand, merely pursed his lips helplessly as he looked at Mark, who was next to him. He wanted to tell Mark at that moment that there was no point saying anything then; it was better to wait for the results before silencing Fane with it.Fane could not be bothered continuing to talk to them, so he closed his eyes and let them say what they wanted to.Time slowly ticked away, and after half an hour, it was finally Rudy's turn to go through the test on the condensing plate. At that moment, Fane slowly opened his eyes. Rudy straightened his back as he silently tried to motivate himself.The more he acted like that, the less confident he seemed. He had encountered too many geniuses recently, so Rudy's confidence was already shattered. Right before he got to the test, Rudy tu
When Gent saw the concerned look on Fane's eyes, he let out a laugh and sneered, "Let me guess: your friend is a pure alchemist? His aura is quite erratic, and it's obvious he was forcibly pulled up to the late stage of the innate level by the laws. He's not like you at all."Fane raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Gent.Gent was right; Rudy had been forcibly leveled up.Gent let out a snort as he said, "He'll fail very badly, and so will you. Even though I haven't gone through the entry test, I've talked to a lot of alchemists that have."Most of the ninety pill runes that needed to be filled up are those that only seventh-grade alchemists can fill up. That's why you shouldn't dream so loftily. Before you brag, you should look at the badge on your chest."Gent was astounded at how ignorant Fane seemed. That man was confident to the point of arrogance, saying things that all of them felt were a joke with such a calm expression.Anyone who did not know who Fane was might have thou
He hurriedly said, "No one you've faced so far is trash. The real trash is all still in its own small little places, not here. You're already different from them. You're on another level. All you need now is time. Trust me…" Before he could finish speaking, more mockery could be heard. The person who spoke was Samuel. After Rudy's results were out, he could not stop himself from laughing out loud. The results deepened the negative perception of Rudy and FAne. Rudy's results had been far too bad. It was not even comparable to the weakest among them. He had been completely unable to gain entry into the city himself.They had Rudy pinned as an alchemist that was from an insignificant place. They did not know how Fane was so confident. His follower was already so bad, but he actually said that he would pass perfectly.Samuel maintained his smile and said, "Tell me, Fane. Who gave you all your confidence? How can you possibly think that you'll pass perfectly? I think it would already
The whole thing had been heard by Fane. Fane merely thought that it was annoying, and decided to close his eyes and rest, not wanting to bother with what anyone else had to say.As time passed, half an hour was up. It was finally Fane's turn to take the test. Of the two in front, one had succeeded and one had failed. From the percentage, it seemed like half of the participants would fail.The alchemists who are able to enter Prosper City were all at least sixth-grade alchemists and above. Only those who were in the upper echelon of sixth-grade alchemists could enter Prosper City.When Fane stepped in front of the condensing plate, the gray barrier immediately wrapped Fane within. On the condensing plate, sixty incomplete runes appeared.Fane looked at the runes. There was a small portion that even middle-tier sixth-grade alchemists could complete, but most of them needed someone who was a seventh-grade alchemist or higher to complete. Fane even saw an ancient pill rune among them.
"However, I think that he shouldn't have such an easy time getting into the city. He might not even pass the test…" Mark nodded, feeling like Gent could be right. However, right at that moment, the barrier suddenly disappeared. All the alchemists around them looked up at the condensing plate in front of Fane simultaneously.The condensing plate displayed Fane's results, "Perfectly completed ninety pill runes, obtaining four entry tokens."The golden words blinked five or six times before disappearing. Right after that, four rays of light shot out of the condensing card, falling into Fane's palm. When the lights dispersed, four entry tokens appeared in front of everyone.Fane raised an eyebrow as he kept his entry token into a mustard seed. He already had some clue about who he wanted to bring inside.None of the alchemists were able to say anything when they saw that scene. They started to suspect if they were imagining things. Otherwise, how could they see something so absurd?
He turned his head and looked down at the group, "I told you not to look down on others. Fane said to you that he could beat you in every way, and he definitely can."All of you only know how to use your mouth to insult others, saying we're from somewhere insignificant. If we were, then what do you amount to? You can't even compare to us…"Rudy's words were incredibly sharp. It angered the alchemists so much that they started to pant. Mark was in a bad mental state at that moment, but he immediately retorted, "What do you mean we can't compare? The brat might have some skill, but we aren't weak either. I can complete the test perfectly as well. At least a third of my fellow students behind me can pass the test perfectly as well!"As he said that, Mark found some confidence back. This time, it was Fane's turn to look at the group with a mocking smile, "A third? Aren't you too overconfident in your fellow students? There are twenty in total including you. You should be counting your luck
He deliberately brought up a topic, "This group won't let us escape their sights easily. If we leave their sights, they'll definitely go crazy…"After Rudy heard that, he was immediately pulled out of his pain. After all, that problem was even more pressing. He sighed as he said with concern, "What does that group want?! They've been trying to cause us trouble from the start. Could they really be planning on attacking us? However, Prosper City's laws state that we can't fight privately. If they really pull any moves, they'd just die!"Fane nodded. Various thoughts flashed in both of their eyes. In truth, he was still not sure at all, thanks to the lack of information. He had no way of telling what that group wanted as well.If they really planned on anything, they should not hide before they had full confidence in their plan. The group was quite kind to alert Fane the moment Fane arrived in the city. The more Fane thought about it, the more he felt like something was off. It felt
