However, as she saw how confident Duraxi was, so Guhi didn't say anything, as she didn't want to explain too much.
Duraxi took the pill, walked out of the circle, and presented it to the judges.
When the five members of the jury saw the pill, they frowned and then handed the pill to Pharmaradius.
Pharmaradius also frowned when he saw the black pill, then he brought the pill up to his nose and sniffed it.
The surrounding spectators also silently looked towards Pharmaradisu. Everyone knew that Pharmaradius was an SSR Enchanter and that potions were a very common thing, so everybody expected him to see through it with just a glance.
However, this was the first time anyone had seen Pharmaradius study an energy pill so thoroughly.
After a while, Pharmaradius looked at Duraxi and asked, "How did you make this pill?"
Pharmaradius's question caused everyone in the audience's eyes to turn to Duraxi.
Duraxi didn't answer, his face was filled with confidence and arrogance. He then stretched out his hand, and then, a lotus flower appeared and it radiated light like a small sun. It's terrible heat made everyone around feel fear.
Pharmaradius nodded at this and said: "This is the First time I have seen an apprentice Pharmacist who can make high-end energy potions."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, Petran who was sitting in the stands frowned in confusion. Beside him, Nasis who was sitting down explained to him: "You probably don't know, but although energy potions are the easiest to make, only an SR Pharmacist Enchanter has the ability to create high-grade energy potions. Naturally, the effect of a high-grade energy potion is 5 times higher than that of a normal energy potion."
As Nasis said this, he couldn't help but be proud that he invested in the right people.
However, if Hikaru was here, he would definitely be surprised that Petran was acquainted with Nasis again.
Nasis patted Petran's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, with your Talent you too can become a great Enchanter. Even so, your achievements will certainly not be inferior to Duraxi's."
Nasis was a little overjoyed, he didn't think that he would meet two geniuses in just two days. Duraxi who possessed the Fire Lotus, would surely become a great Pharmacist Enchanter and Petran who possessed the talent to identify any material, could also become an Enchanter and no matter what kind of Enchanter he becomes, he would also have huge accomplishments.
Therefore, Nasis was helping Petran become an apprentice Enchanter.
Petran glanced at Nasis, nodded, then turned his attention back to the square.
On the square, Duraxi arrogantly held the Fire Lotus, and looked around, he then retrieved the Fire Lotus and went to the waiting area for people who had passed the test.
In fact, only Duraxi was in the waiting area as he was the first to have passed the test, and this made him even more arrogant.
However, Pharmaradius and the others felt that it was normal for Duraxi to be arrogant, after all, Duraxi was the first to complete the test and his energy pill was also high-class, thereby surpassing the competition's quota.
Duraxi stood alone in the waiting area as he looked at Hikaru's position, his face contorted with a scornful smile.
Hikaru who was standing inside the circle could still hear the sounds from outside, but he was not surprised that Duraxi was able to make high-class energy potions.
"Which is better, a Premium Energy Potion or a Perfect Energy Potion?"
[Master, the perfect energy potion is definitely better. The price of the premium energy potion only reaches around 50 soul points, and also many people won't want to buy the premium energy potion.]
"Why?"
[The effects of the premium energy potion is only slightly better than the normal energy potion, and is nothing special, also the price of the premium energy potion is also too high so no one would want to buy it.]
[However, the perfect energy potion is different. It not only has outstanding uses, but it also has the ability to heal wounds and restore mana, so people would want to buy more of it. However, the perfect energy potion only appeared in ancient times, when the fog had not yet invaded this world and currently, the person who invented the perfect energy potion is gone, and no one knows of its existence anymore.]
Hikaru nodded, he felt extremely happy because he could monopolize the perfect energy potion. However, Hikaru suddenly asked, "So if someone gets this pill, would they be able to replicate the perfect energy potion?"
[If everyone can do that, then in this contest there wouldn't be a need to keep the method of preparing medicinal herbs hidden from other people.]
[Even with the method of preparation in hand, I am afraid that no one can make a perfect energy potion.]
Hikaru nodded. He felt that Rika's words made a lot of sense because If there was a preparation method that could replicate any kind of medicine, then no contestant would be eliminated.
Hikaru hoped that the next round of competitions would have more types of pharmaceutical preparation methods.
With more than 20 minutes to go before the round was over, Hikaru thought about it, then decided to level up Tsuraguki.
[Ding! To level up Tsuraguki, 1 billion Soul Points are needed.]
"Agreed!"
[Ding! Leveled up successfully.]
…
Name: Tsuraguki
Rarity: UR+
Level: 20
Race: Blood Moon Rabbit Queen
Agility: 800,000 (+2,400,000)
Strength: 800,000 (+2,400,000)
Intelligence: 400,000 (+1,200,000)
…
Hikaru saw Tsuraguki's stats, and he was happy, the higher her stats, the safer his territory would be. Suddenly Rika's voice resounded.
[Master, why did you level up Tsuraguki?]
Hearing Rika's question, Hikaru felt strange: "Why are you asking that?"
[Haizzz, Master, are you stupid? Or is it because you have Selvih and Anno that you forgot about Tsuraguki?]
Hikaru felt confused after hearing that, but a second later, he suddenly realized that he had just done something terrible.
[Haizzz, Master, Tsuraguki have always wished to serve you and sleep with you. After your stats became higher than Tsuraguki, I thought that you would think of sleeping with her first but now…]
As Hikaru was being scolded, he realized that he had made a big mistake. It was now that Tsuraguki's stats were once again higher than his that he realized how stupid he had been.
Hikaru felt like a jerk as he only thought about the new people around him while ignoring the others.
[All right, Master. Don't worry about this for the time being.]
Hikaru sighed, he thought that after he returned to his territory, he would find a way to console Tsuraguki a little. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like a bully, who played with girls and forgot about them.
Hikaru had taken the first times of Vuni, Selvih and Anno, but now Hikaru unconsciously leaned more towards Selvih and Anno because he interacts with them a lot.
As for Vuni, Hikaru was a little uneasy. Although Vuni had a lot of secrets, she also had the ability to break the bond between him and her.
[Master, don't worry, I promise Vuni will be completely loyal to you.]
Hearing Rika's words, Hikaru nodded, as he was somewhat reassured. However, there was still a part of him that still did not trust Vuni, and even Tsuraguki but If one day they betrayed him, he wouldn't be surprised.
Hikaru then stepped out of the wall of light and looked towards Pharmaradius and Duraxi.
Duraxi saw Hikaru appear, and his face once again adorned a scornful smile. When Selvih and Anno who were sitting in the stands saw Duraxi's scornful smile they frowned.
"Mom, I really want to rip his mouth out."
"Don't get excited, Anno, hitting him will only make your hands dirtier. However..." When Selvih had spoken to this point, her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she continued: "If he dares to laugh at my man, I will need to teach him a lesson."
Of course, Hikaru didn't know what Selvih and Anno were doing and thinking right now, he turned to Pharmaradius and brought out the pill he had just made or to be precise the pill he used the Sacrifice skill to create.
However, no one would ask him how he made this pill, as they just needed to know that this pill was created by him.
Pharmaradius and the 5 judges saw the small white marble pill and frowned.
One judge held the pill in his hand, looked at it for a while, then sniffed it again, then shook his head and said: "This pill… doesn't seem like an energy pill."
The judge seemed to want to prove his point, so he gave the pill to the other judges, who gave the same answer as the judge just said.
Pharmaradius frowned, he took the pill, looked at it for a long time, then rolled his eyes, he asked the five judges: "Do you know what this is?"
The five judges who heard this looked at each other and then at Pharmaradius and shook their heads, one of the judges said: "Probably the manufacturing process had failed, and the result created this useless pill because the appearance of the energy potion is usually gray, and the darker the color, the higher the quality. This is similar to the the pill that Duraxi made, the color of the pill is black, which proves that the pill is of very high quality."
"However, the pill that contestant Hikaru created is white, and it doesn't even have a scent, and this indicates that the pill's medicinal properties have disappeared. Of course, Duraxi's medicine was very fragrant, and the smell of the medicine was very strong. As soon as anyone takes a whiff of it, that person would know that it is a high-class energy medicine."
Listening to the other judge's explanation, everyone felt that their line of thought was reasonable. However, for some reason, the judge kept comparing Hikaru's pill with the one that Duraxi created, and this made the scornful smile on Duraxi's face even more obvious.
Pharmaradius frowned upon hearing that, he held the pill in his hand and looked at Hikaru who was still calm as if nothing had happened. Pharmaradius sniffed the pill again, and after a while he said, "I need to examine this pill for a bit."
Pharmaradius immediately disappeared, and Selvih and Anno were feeling a little bit worried for Hikaru.
"Mom, will he be okay?"
Selvih heard Anno's question and replied: "It's okay, trust him."
Duraxi saw this and laughed: "Hahaha… Hikaru, what did you create? A useless pill? Haizz, I can't blame you, you're a person who only relies on your family after all. It's okay, if you kneel in front of me, I'll teach you how to make medicinal herbs, hahaha…"
Duraxi spoke very loudly, as if to tell everyone that he was a genius, he wanted everyone to laugh at Hikaru.
When Selvih and Anno heard this, they had to use all their willpower to control themselves because they wanted to burn Duraxi to ashes as They didn't want anyone to laugh at their man.
To Selvih and Anno, Hikaru was the god that illuminated their lives. So, they didn't want the god in their heart to be mocked by others.
Suddenly, Pharmaradius appeared again, still holding the white pill that Hikaru had prepared. Pharmaradius looked at Hikaru and asked: "Is this pill made by you?"
Hikaru nodded.
Seeing this, Duraxi felt a little confused, and suddenly a bad premonition appeared in his heart.
Pharmaradius asked again: "Tell me the truth, is this pill made by you?"
Hikaru said with a smile, "If you want, I can make another one right here, in front of everyone."
Pharmaradius smiled at that and nodded, he announced to everyone: "Contestant Hikaru, has successfully prepared an energy potion, so he is qualified to pass the first round."
