Konad was thrown to the ground, he was able to balance himself thanks to his cultivation nevertheless he was still hurt from the explosion although it wasn't that painful thanks to rocky coming to save him.
After his nerve have calmed down a little bit, his eyes watered as he recalled he has just been disqualified. he looked up at the VIP platform but his dad was no where to be found.
He left the stage after gritting his teeth so hard that most of the VIP feared that a beast was having malicious intent towards them and was helping itself by sharping it's claws so that it will be easy to tear apart and swallow them.
His eyes moistened even more as he saw the expressionless face of Liam, no one in the crowd considered him as a genius any more because right now the only genius they knew is no other than Liam, he was young and was already a grandmaster in alchemist while Konad was still stuck at the master realm, no one knew that actual reasons he hasn't taken the exams but they could easily tell that he did not have the qualification to take the exam.
Just like that, the young alchemy genius of the grained earth kingdom has fallen to a new younger and more intelligent guy.
Liam looked at VIP platform, at the moment he could not see Jordan neither could be see zonad, he could only guess that the two is working with each other which was the reason why Jordan saved Konad, zonad's son from colliding against the wall.
There are still many guys forging pills so he took an excuse and left the place to play the song of spirit beast, sending out five of his best to try and look for the two bastards why he sent others to his house to go take care of it.
He returned and the last two guys are still on their pills, after sometime the second round was completed with only seven guys qualifying for the next round.
The last round was always the most difficult because this is the round that the best of the best are chosen.
They were supposed to forge a lord grade pill, the right ingredients will be given to them and a number of forging method will be given as well considering that most of them are still in the grandmaster and master realm of alchemy.
Liam scanned through the method and found it quite weird, there was no thing as controlling the flames and the list of ingredients to be added accordingly.
'It is just a trick, I'll depend on you for this.'
["I gat your back, but I can make things pretty easy for you, just now after lecturing you on alchemy, I started getting flashbacks of my song of alchemy, the song will be confirmed soon, till them I'll have to rely on my glorious intelligence."] He was bragging as usual, but can it be considered bragging since he literally has the knowledge.
Liam followed his instructions step by step, discovering it was as tricky as fuck even the heavenly music monarch made certain mistakes in his lecture nevertheless he still has his own way to over up for the mistake and not obstruct the pill forging process.
Thanks to all these, Liam was getting halfway in the pill that could take a lot of time at least one hour considering that it was a pill he has no knowledge about.
The handsome guy still had a calm face as he went on with his own, his eyes lingered on Liam cauldron.
He was expecting that Liam's cauldron will explode just like Konad but to his greatest surprise, Liam cauldron did not show any sign of that and he was even good with it, from the look of it he could tell that Liam was not relying on the method that was given.
'What is he trying to do, forging a pill above him without the method given. hmph, what a brat, he will end up making poison.' He was really jealous and it was taking over him, he was supposed to be in the spotlight but this rascal was taking all of them.
from the VIP stand.
"That young man is good, he can be so calm when taking on such a difficult task, during my time I pied my pants when I was doing this because I was so afraid that the cauldron was going to explode. seeing him so composed make me thing that I'm just a trash compared to him."
"Such a young man deserve to be in my Great fire sect."
"Don't start now, he will get into my bloodline sect, can't you see that he has a divine eye bloodline hidden behind that eye piece he is wearing."
"Divine eye bloodline, is it Demonic, if it is, he need to be in my sect of demon scholars."
Different sect elders and leaders started having a small battle of words over who was going to take Liam, some did not join in the argument as they consider the other handsome a guy a better candidate for their sect.
Liam is young, he will certainly tear the word apart if he keeps on training at his own pace, a sect of any stuff like that will cause a transformation in his prowess and he will end up as nothing other than the champion he was meant to be.
The alchemy guild leader and the members who has a good impression on Liam started praying in their hearts that he should be able to get into the second position, to them the other guy was a better candidate for the first position considering his age and his prowess in alchemy.
Nevertheless, if Liam could just make it into the second position then they will have a shot at the empire alchemy contest and gain recognition.
Liam was calm as he went on with his pill forging process, shocking the crowd as to how he was able to stay so calm during a difficult situation.
The other dude was about to complete his when Liam lefted his pill, becoming the first to forge the pill that shocked everyone as the pill he was holding seems to be the sun shinning and swallowing the darkness.
The MC gulped out of frustration, she was waiting on her twin to finish first so she could announce immediately but it turns out there was someone more than him.
At this moment, everyone in the crowd cheered for Liam, he was so young yet he was able to forge a pill that stole the heart of everyone at once with it's presence.
They looked at him, proud to see such a genius capable of showing so much intelligence, if it wasn't for his age being too young they would have willingly married out their daughters to him, and for some reason they could find his parent so that they can perform the betrothal ceremony immediately.
Liam was already handsome and his build was great at such age, nevertheless with his intelligence and alchemy prowess he became even more attractive that they could not take their eyes off him, it was like a heavenly being has fallen to earth in the form of Liam.
The guild leader was so amazed that he stood up from his seat and waved his hands enthusiastically, Liam waved back.
The crowd seeing how close they were immediately took it that Liam was the son of the alchemy guild leader, they immediately started letting out praises.
The guild leader was too carried away with the praises that he almost accepted the false claims that he was the father of Liam, who will be so gutsy to deny such a brilliant light.
Liam let out a smile, he shut his uncovered eyes as he felt a sharp pain in his other eyes much like the demon eye was reacting.
Using his cultivation sense, he was able to take his steps in the right way through the aid of his ears.
He walked up the stage which was elevated admist the cheers, the other guy who believed he has already claimed the first position started regretting ever being so proud, nevertheless he focused on his pill and soon he was done, he displayed his pill but he could no longer win the heart of the crowd because it has been stolen by Liam.
Those guild masters who supported him over Liam shut out from their sits flying toward the elevated stage Liam was standing on, and immediately started persuading him to join their sect.
The other who have been arguing since felt betrayed and immediately went on to join in the persuasion.
One can be a part of a guild and still be a member of a sect, the sect is just like an academy, a place for learning and acquiring knowledge about the world which in this case was cultivation, nevertheless the guild is a place they use that knowledge on.
