How did this happen? How are they still better than ? I have a special physique suitable for alchemy. I also have the legendary art from the ancient era. Why am I still behind them? I couldn't even close the gap. Why? Is it because I'm young? I don't have enough experience?
Ori Oregano was having a ntal breakdown. He slowly descended into the abyss. His massive unchecked ego couldn't stand the feeling of being defeated again and again. He wanted to kill. He must kill the two won who have been trampling him!
Just as he was about to lose control, a stern voice entered and shook his mind.
"ORI!!"
He was imdiately pulled back from the abyss to reality. Ori's body jolted, and he ca to his senses.
It was his master, also the Sect Master of the dicine Valley, Alar Thorne, who stopped his descent into madness.
"Elder Godari inford
that you haven't been feeling well, affecting your alchemy. Is that true?" The stern voice sounded in his mind again.
Ori Oregano nodded.
"Hmph! if a few losses caused you to be so emotional, how are you going to lead the sect in the future? If you can't keep your ego in check, I'll do it myself later." Alar Thorne's sound transmission ended after that
Ori sweated. He almost lost control and exposed himself. Although he didn't like his master too, what he said was right. He must keep his ego in check. His goal was to control the dicine Valley completely in the future. It would be laughable if the two won here beca the reason his grand ambition failed.
Even if he wanted to kill them, it must be done secretly and he couldn't do it himself. Elder Godari had noticed sothing was wrong with him and inford his master. He must have looked very bad previously.
Dammit! It's going to be hard to get first and second place, but I must get the third place at any cost! Arghhhhh!! It is so frustrating that I, Ori, had to resign myself to being third!
Hoooo.....Calm Ori, calm down. As long as I can enter the Mystic Realm, my grand ambition will proceed faster! Hyahahaha!
Elder Godari sighed slowly in relief. He saw that Ori no longer had a murderous look on his face and it was back to the usual arrogant expression. Although he didn't like this expression either, it was still much better than the forr. Alar Thorne must have said sothing to him.
He was young and could still be guided to the righteous path. It would be a massive waste of his alchemy talent if he beca a psychotic murderer.
"Hahaha!! Do you see that? My panda wife is in the first place now! The greatest Alchemist Panda! Everyone! Let us cheer for her together!" Leyvi was standing on the chair laughing loudly.
"GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMIST PANDA!" He changed the chant slightly.
GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMIST PANDA!
GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMIST PANDA!
GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMIST PANDA!
It wasn't just the Leyan Family cheering this ti, the nearby crowd around them also started joining the cheering. Although the Grand Stadium was very big, a crowd of around 5000 people chanting loudly together was enough to reach the other side of the Grand Stadium.
The audience who beca Anda's supporters during the competition and the people who wanted to join in the fun also started chanting together, making the voices louder.
GO GO ANDA! ALCHEMIST PANDA!
Almost a quarter of the audience was cheering for Anda now.
Leyvi was dumbfounded. How did it escalate like this? He had cheered for Anda a few tis previously, but it was only loud in this small area. The mont he changed the chant a bit, it spread to the entire Grand Stadium. Why didn't it spread when it was Goddess Anda?
Unfortunately for Leyvi, the na Alchemist Panda would stick with her and she will be known as Alchemist Panda to the entire South Region. It was all thanks to him.
Hearing so many people calling her Alchemist Panda, Anda felt so embarrassed and wished to hide herself. Her face was as red as a tomato, even soone who has a thick skin like her failed to keep her face straight.
What happened to Goddess Anda? Why did it beco Alchemist Panda? Of course, there's no one else who would call her Alchemist Panda except for her husband. Now everyone will call her that na. Hmph, she will punish him later!
After the chant subsided, Leyvi noticed soone entered his family seating area. He recognized this person. He saw him during the auction and Selene had explained his identity.
The person was the patriarch of the Clover Family, Vitali Clover. He was a middle-aged man with a clean face and no facial hair. He wore a clover-shaped hat, which was sothing that the people of the Clover Family usually wear.
Before Leyvi stood up to greet him, sobody else talked first.
"Oi Vitali, what are you doing here? What business do you have with my son-in-law?" Magnus Goldstone asked without a shred of politeness. How could he not be aware of the reason behind Vitali's visit?
This old flower, I didn't discuss with my son-in-law yet, but he already ca here to snatch a pie? No no no.
"What son-in-law? I don't think your daughter has married him yet. Am I wrong?" Vitali retorted.
He hadn't discussed it with his sister yet, but after he saw the results of this round, he imdiately ca here. Act first, discuss later. Even if his sister beat him up later, it would be acceptable.
His family alchemists were doing worse than he expected. Even the Goldstone Family did better this round. Since the Mystic Realm spots were too precious, he must negotiate now, even if he had to face the hateful Magnus.
"Not yet, but it was already set, so he is considered my son-in-law. Go away, shoo shoo! You are spoiling the mood of our families." Magnus tried to chase Vitali away. He wanted to maintain a cool image like always, but with Vitali here, it might be hard.
"Hmph, what's so special about being father-in-law?" Vitali turned to Leyvi and his eyes brightened. "Haha! What a great young man. I'm here on behalf of my younger sister to propose marriage to you, brother Leyvi. Soon we will beco brother-in-law!"
"Pfftt!!! Oi Vitali! Did I hear that right? Brother-in-law? You are so shaless! How old are you and how old is he? Do you want to marry that Ava girl to him? You must be out of your mind!" Magnus almost spat when he heard Vitali say that.
Leyvi was dumbfounded, the ladies were dumbfounded, everybody was dumbfounded by the sudden weird marriage proposal. Was this really the right ti and place for a marriage proposal? They were currently in the middle of an alchemy competition.
"What's shaless about it? Although Ava is a bit older than him, how is that a problem? They are cultivators, age gap doesn't matter. Didn't you ogle at a young female cultivator during the auction too?" Vitali said.
Huh? When did I do that? Magnus was confused. Suddenly, he felt a strong glare coming from his side. His wife was staring at him with stabbing eyes.
"Dammit, old flower! You are making shit up! Are you asking for a beating?" He realized Vitali was lying to sow discourse with his wife.
"Heh, can you beat ? I'm not afraid." Vitali taunted Magnus.
"Ahem! Both of you, please calm down." Leyvi stopped them from escalating things further.
He wasn't smart, but he wasn't exactly stupid either. He could guess that the reason Vitali ca to propose out of nowhere was probably because of the Mystic Realm spots. It was also why Magnus was so defensive about it. He most likely had the sa idea after seeing Anda's performance.
Both of them got quiet, waiting for Leyvi to say sothing.
"The competition is still ongoing. I think it's best for us to wait until it is over first before we discuss anything. Is that fine?" Leyvi suggested while alternatingly looking at them.
In this scenario, it was best to delay it until Anda was available. As an evil mastermind, his panda wife will be the most suitable person to deal with this complicated situation. Furthermore, it might not be just them who wanted a slice of pie when Anda won the spots later.
If it was left to him, he might not even realize it if he got scamd by these people.
"Son-in-law, are you sure? It's probably better to just reject this old flower right away."
"Shut up, Magnus! Stop interfering!"
"Yes, I'm sure. This is all because of the Mystic Realm spots, right? Then it is more appropriate to discuss this with the person who earned the spots herself. Furthermore, the competition hasn't ended yet. We still have two more rounds. If my wife failed suddenly, all of this would be a waste of ti, right?" Leyvi expressed his stance.
Vitali nodded. This was good, too. At least he would have more ti to prepare. He needed to explain it in better words so that he would receive fewer beatings.
"Good! If that's the case, I will visit you again after the competition is over." He turned around and returned to the Clover Family seating area.
