Chapter 367 Alchemist Assessment 2

This woman, named Kartis Siti, was quite attractive herself, but when compared to Zang Dee, her advantages seemed to pale in comparison.

"Vixen, if it weren't for that face of yours, your reputation in Snow Storm City wouldn't surpass mine. Who knows, one day something might happen, and that face of yours could be completely ruined," Kartis Siti thought venomously.

"That's right," Blaze Regret nodded slightly, his eyes then filled with surprise as they lingered on the badge on Zang Dee's chest, which bore two stars. "You're a second grade alchemist?"

"Of course!" Zang Dee replied with pride, puffing out her chest. It felt quite satisfying to flaunt a little in front of the young man who had previously bested her twice.

She hadn't realized that she was already showing some rare emotions to this young man she'd only met once before.

"Impressive," Blaze Regret genuinely marveled. It seemed Zang Dee was here to attempt advancing to a third grade alchemist. Such a young third grade alchemist would indeed be considered a prodigy.

"Hmph, you're here to qualify as a first grade alchemist, aren't you? If you pass in one go, I wouldn't mind giving you a few pointers in the future, considering you have some talent," Zang Dee smiled, the fire lotus mark on her forehead seemingly coming alive, making her delicate face even more enchanting.

Looking at her smile, the male alchemists couldn't help but gape, their faces showing a dazed expression, which made Kartis Siti, standing at the back, look furious.

"Master Stone is here."

With a gentle turn of her beautiful eyes, Zang Dee looked toward the elderly figure slowly emerging from the back of the Thousand Stone Hall and said with a smile, "Little brother, I'm looking forward to seeing your performance."

Being watched so closely by Zang Dee, Blaze Regret couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly. No wonder people say beauty can be a curse; if not for his exceptional self control, he might have already been led by the nose.

"However, taking this opportunity to see where my limits lie doesn't seem bad at all," Blaze Regret thought, turning his head to look at the elderly figure that had suddenly appeared, and he chuckled softly.

An elder named Stone Yee appeared at the front of the hall, and the previously noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down. When Blaze Regret saw the four star badge on the elder's chest, he couldn't help but be amazed. He didn't expect that the person responsible for the assessment would be a fourth grade alchemist. From this, it seemed that the leader of the Thousand Stone Hall must be at least a fifth grade alchemist.

"The foundation of Snow Storm City is indeed deep," Blaze Regret pondered silently. Explore more at empire

As the elder explained, Blaze Regret gradually understood the rules of the assessment. Successfully refining a first grade pill would earn one the recognition of being a first grade alchemist. If one could successfully refine a second grade pill, then they would be recognized as a second grade alchemist, and so on.

However, before participating in this assessment, a small test must first be conducted.

Behind the Thousand Stone Hall, there was a spacious courtyard with special facilities. Participants in the assessment only needed to place their palms on it, and a soul arrow would automatically condense. The strength of the arrow roughly determined whether one was qualified to participate in the assessment.

Otherwise, if everyone could directly refine pills, the annual expenses of the Thousand Stone Hall would be an extremely large sum.

"Now, you may proceed with the test."

With a wave of Stone Yee's sleeve, the dozen or so participants eagerly waiting for the assessment quickly surged into the courtyard. In an instant, the hall was empty.

"Aren't you going?" Blaze Regret asked Zang Dee, who remained unmoved, with curiosity.

"A second grade alchemist doesn't need to go through this procedure," Zang Dee said, lifting her pretty face with a hint of pride. Second grade alchemists already had some privileges and even the profound Thousand Stone Hall would offer them some preferential treatment.

Seeing Zang Dee's somewhat childish demeanor, Blaze Regret couldn't help but smile. He then waved his hand and walked towards the courtyard.

As he passed by Stone Yee, the elder's eyes noticeably narrowed, and a subtle gleam flashed across them. It seemed like there was a promising candidate this time.

Zang Dee, with her lips slightly pursed, watched Blaze Regret's back with bright eyes. She impulsively followed him, her interest in this peculiar young man growing stronger.

"Hmm?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Stone Yee's old eyes. He had never seen Zang Dee take such an interest in someone before. Even some of the top talents in the city couldn't capture her attention.

"Curious," Stone Yee chuckled and shook his head. He then turned around, taking a roster, and walked into the courtyard.

The cold wind, carrying traces of snowflakes, rustled through the sky, causing some withered yellow leaves to sway and rustle.

Beneath those fallen leaves lay a series of peculiar stone pillars. These pillars were jet black, with complex runes flowing around them, giving off an aura of mystery.

Opposite these stone pillars stood several targets, which left Blaze Regret, who was participating in the test for the first time, somewhat puzzled.

"When the test starts, place your palm in the indentation on the stone pillar. The special runes within will extract your soul power to form a sharp soul arrow. The stronger your soul power, the more concentrated the arrow will be. If you can successfully hit the target, you qualify for the first grade alchemist assessment. If you hit the bullseye, then your soul power is at least at the level of a second grade alchemist," explained Zang Dee, standing beside Blaze Regret with a slight curve to her lips.

Hearing this, Blaze Regret nodded silently. The Thousand Stone Hall, as a faction under the Angsana Pavilion, indeed had its unique methods. Previously, he could scarcely imagine such a way to test the concentration of soul power.
