Chu Ning walked out, looking a bit sad. Seeing Nie Li has been outside since long ago, his brows immediately twitched.
The few people beside him were currently teasing Nie Li.
“Little bro, how many question have you done?” One man said, laughing loudly. He was the only one that has passed the test.
Nie Li shrugged, and said “Those questions are too easy Absolutely no challenge at all.”
Hearing Nie Li’s speech, everyone looked at each other.
Nie Li’s words directly stung Chu Ning who struggled with the questions. He shorted and said, “Conceited brat! If you got even ten percent of the questions correct, I’ll immediately strip myself and run around the whole Glory City three rounds!”
“Then you can start running now,” Nie Li said, lightly laughed.
Everyone felt amazed hearing Nie Li’s words, wondering where exactly that confidence of his came from. They were also wondering how much did Nie Li fair in his test.
At this moment, Huyan Ming hurriedly ran over.
Seeing the Primary Alchemy Master’s white robe on Huyan Ming, everyone immediately stood up respectfully.
“Nie Li, you have passed the first test! Follow me!” Huyan Ming said, completely disregarding those beside.
“Okay,” Nie Li slightly nodded his head.
“Passed the first test?”
Hearing Huyan Ming’s words, everyone went into a daze. Especially Chu Ning, stunned as though he was struck by lightning.
‘How is this possible? Nie Li is just a thirteen year old brat!’
‘Did they get it wrong?’
‘Am I dreaming?’
A thirteen year old teen actually passed the first round of tests. This is simply the first time in countless hundreds of years. No wonder Huyan Ming wants to personally bring Nie Li off.
Everyone recalled the mockeries that they said to Nie Li and, immediately, they felt their cheeks burning. A thirteen year old teen actually passed the test. As for them, some were already thirty-forty years old, and some even older, they haven’t even managed to pass the first test.
Chu Ning was shocked beyond words. He never imagined that Nie Li would actually pass the first test.
‘He must have been cheating! Yes, that’s definitely the case!’ Chu Ning quietly accused as he walked out, staggering. No matter what, he didn’t manage to pass the test. Therefore, getting beaten up by his uncle was unavoidable.
“Hey, Chu Ning’s gone?”
“Didn’t he say that he would strip naked and run around Glory City three rounds earlier on?”
In the eyes of everyone, Chu Ning desperately ran off. To let him run around Glory City three rounds naked, how would he be able to raise his head up in the future? Everyone looked at the far figure of Nie Li. He did not care about the bet, or to say, he did not even bother himself with Chu Ning.
Nie Li and Chu Ning are from two completely different worlds. Nie Li’s achievements are destined to make Chu Ning look from afar.
Seeing the Primary Alchemy Master Huyan Ming looking pleased at Nie Li, the crowd couldn’t help showing admiring glares.
Alchemy Association, Council Hall
“Nie Li, wait here. The President and Director Yang will be here soon,” Huyan Ming said, his eyes eagerly looking at the genius in front of him. Nie Li’s aura made Huyan Ming feel as though this boy in front of him isn’t a thirteen year old kid, but an alchemist of equal rank.
“Okay,” Nie Li said, slightly nodding his head. He began to look around. This Council Hall is still quite big. At the center area, there is a round table with some chairs, and the walls were covered with papers.
“What are these?” Nie Li asked, looking at Huyan Ming.
“This is the place where all the Alchemy Masters exchange their ideas and thoughts. Alchemy Masters write down the problems that they encountered during their refining, seeking answers from all the other Alchemy Masters. Occasionally, the President and other elders would help those Alchemy Masters to answer their questions. If you know the answer, you can then write it on the paper, and someone will verify it,” Huyan Ming said, “Through this method, Alchemy Masters can enhance each other’s alchemy skills.”
“Oh,” said Nie Li, nodding his head. He continued stroll over to the walls. He has to show sufficient ability in order to grab the attention of President Gu Yan and the others. Otherwise, just being nurtured by the Alchemy Association would not be enough. What Nie Li wants is to borrow the power of Alchemy Association.
‘It seems that Nie Li is interested towards Alchemy Knowledge,’ Huyan Ming thought, smiling as he followed Nie Li. He naturally did not think that Nie Li would be able to solve the questions on the walls. Those questions have been left unanswered for many years, some questions couldn’t even be solved by Senior Alchemy Masters like Gu Yan.
