Elder Godari didn't expect that soone would improvise his alchemy formula during this competition.
"So, she left the Windroot out and added more sequences in the mixing step. I added Windroot because it was a common agent to rge wind and speed-based essences, but she didn't need it because the added sequences were sufficient enough to rge them. Both ways have their own advantages and disadvantages."
Although his formula was made hastily with little optimization for the purpose of the competition, the knowledge and experience required to co up with it still far exceeded their current level.
Usually at the contestants' level, even if they could create sothing new, four or five ingredients combinations would be the max.
This was why he gave them a way out and made it easier by telling them the exact ingredients to make the Skyflare Elixir. All they had to do was find out the mixing ratio and sequences.
Ultimately, what Mia Fafifa achieved was absolutely impressive and her creativity far exceeded her peers. It was no doubt that she was the best in this round so far by far.
Although there was less than a day left before the round ended, he doubted anyone would be able to surpass her.
And sure enough, he was right! Ti had passed quickly.
At this mont, the Grand Stadium was full again. The audience had returned from a few days' break to witness the end of the fourth round.
The Leyan Family filled their seats again as they prepared to cheer for Anda once more.
On the stage, Anda stopped her experint because she knew the round would end at any minute.
As she expected, nothing she tried worked, and it all ended with an explosion. She realized once again how hard alchemy was.
The only reason it beca easy for her and most alchemists was due to the predecessors who had paved the path for them, creating alchemy thods, alchemy techniques, and alchemy formulas for everyone to use.
Even with the help of Alchemy Vision, she was incapable of coming close to creating anything new.
Soon, Elder Godari stood up and walked to the podium again.
"Ehem, my dear alchemy geniuses, as of now, round four of the alchemy competition officially ends. Please stop what you're doing." As soon as the sentence ended, explosions could be seen and heard simultaneously happening on the stage as they were forcefully stopped by the formation.
The next mont, the isolation disappeared, and they finally saw each other again, with many of them looking haggard from the frequent explosion.
Laughter broke out among the contestants seeing their miserable appearances. So were shy, so didn't bother, and so were annoyed. After all, this was sothing that usually happened in private, not in front of so many people.
"Please present your product so it can be evaluated and scored accordingly." Elder Godari continued.
Soon, all the products were collected by the Alchemy Association's personnel into a certain room.
"Please wait here for so ti while our Alchemists, led by the President confirm the effects and properly evaluate them. Don't worry, it won't take long." Throughout the round, he paid attention to a few people and knew how well they did, but he wasn't sure about the rest.
However, he was completely confident nobody was better than Mia Fafifa in this round.
In the evaluation room,
"President, we haven't seen a talent like Mia Fafifa in a long ti. We should recruit her."
"That's right, although her alchemy skill wasn't considered top-tier, her alchemy knowledge is far better than you, President."
"Oi, are you picking a fight with ? I keep failing to make new products, but I still can create new alchemy techniques, ptui!"
"Dammit, President! Stop spitting, you idiot!"
"Hahaha! That's what you get! Okay, I will recomnd Mia Fafifa to the higher-ups. Our Alchemy Association's Research and Developnt Departnt has been declining for a long ti. This Mia girl can make those lazy idiots over there move their asses more."
"Wow, the President can actually think and say sothing that I agree with. I'm impressed."
"Huh? Are you picking a fight? Don't make
use my special saliva bomb attack!"
"Stop! Stop! Dumbass President!"
"Yo, look at this tier-1 product. Soone made a product that could increase my spitting speed by 20%. Ptui, ptui!"
"Guys, let's beat him up! I can't hold it anymore!"
"Guys, relax! I was testing the product! Arghhhhh help!!"
2 hours later, Elder Godari finally received the results from them.
"They were late by an hour. What the heck were they doing in there?" He complained.
"The results are here and sorry for the delay. All the products have been tested and evaluated accordingly. The Alchemists of the Alchemy Association who evaluated the products were so of the best in the South Region, so you can be rest assured."
"Without further ado, here are the results of the fourth round and their overall rankings!" With a flick of his hand, the screen refreshed, showing new information.
1. Mia Fafifa (60 92.3 180 400)= 732.3
2. Anda Leyan (90 98.4 199 315)= 702.4
3. Norin Homun (100 91.7 190 280)= 661.7
4. Ori Oregano (80 96.1 180 280)= 636.1
5. Victor Goldstone (60 82.6 185 300)= 627.6
6. Natalie Clover (70 93.1 160 210)= 533.1
7. Alina (70 79.9 170 210)= 529.9
8. Dante May (0 78.5 170 275)= 523.5
9. Sarah Goldstone (60 77 175 210)= 522
10. Lars Vomil (60 85.4 162 210)= 517.4
11. Minami Clover (50 89.2 160 210)= 509.2
129. Asmondol (60 87.9 165 100)= 412.9
As soon as the results appeared, the crowd instantly buzzed with excitent. The rank this ti had massive changes compared to the previous rounds.
So raised significantly while so dropped far down.
There were only 5% of the contestants successfully figured out the correct mixing ratio and sequence of the Skyflare Elixir introduced by Elder Godari.
The majority of them could only make publicly known alchemy products, getting only 100 points maximum.
One of them was unexpectedly Asmondol. He was soone who was previously in the top ten consistently. However, he dropped so far in the ranking because he failed to find out the correct ratio or create a new alchemy formula.
Although many contestants failed to impress, it wasn't like there were none. Among over five thousand of them, a few did brilliantly in this round by creating or improving alchemy formulas.
The most outstanding alchemist in this round was the representative from the Longevity Academy, Mia Fafifa! She had directly improved the Alchemy Formula of the Skyflare Elixir created by Elder Godari, netting her a total of 400 points in this round alone, sending her straight to the top of the ranking.
Even though she only made a low-grade elixir, the scoring criteria for this round favored those who were innovative and she did exactly that to rise to the top, pushing Anda to second place.
Besides Mia Fafifa, Victor Goldstone also improved an existing alchemy formula, using only four of the original five ingredients for that product. He was now closely trailing behind the fourth placer, Ori Oregano.
The other notable contestant who managed to storm his way into the top ten despite receiving zero points in the first round was Dante May. He landed straight to eighth place after creating a new alchemy product that allowed the user to increase the speed of projectiles shot from the body.
As for the 5% of the contestants who managed to make the original Skyflare Elixir, only Anda successfully increased its quality to the top grade. Even so, it still pales in comparison to the points earned by Mia Fafifa.
While everyone was looking at the ranking, Elder Godari's voice sounded. "I would like to use this mont to congratulate contestant Mia Fafifa specifically, who went above and beyond by successfully improving the alchemy formula of my Skyflare Elixir. It was truly the greatest achievent in this alchemy competition so far! Congratulations!"
Seeing his ranking drop again, Ori Oregano was extrely furious, but he controlled his fury much better this ti. It wasn't like the last ti when he almost lost control.
"Three won... three bitches humiliated
this ti... I swear I will torture them all in the future...I will make sure they realize that they are inferior to !" Ori whispered to himself. Although he managed to control his emotions better, his face would still be contorted from ti to ti.
Elder Godari sighed when he saw Ori. In reality, Ori did outstandingly well, considering his young age. After all, he had much less experience compared to others.
He hoped that Ori wouldn't be too affected by the rank this ti and co back to dominate the competition 10 years later. He would still be 26 years old at that ti.
anwhile, Norin Homun saw that her rank dropped again, but instead of feeling disappointed, she beca more excited.
"Hehe, there's another girl who is better than . I did my best and made a high-grade product using the seven ingredients, but she actually improved the alchemy formula directly. Simply amazing! Another rival for !"
She didn't care about her rank anymore. She only cared about having fun competing with other geniuses. Norin enjoyed alchemy more and more as the competition progressed, and she could feel that her alchemy was advancing at a high pace.
