"i, you know, in competitions of this caliber, even a tiny bit of difference is a significant gap. This ti, I concede defeat willingly."
Najib, not wanting to put on airs despite being i's ntor, spoke to her in a casual, conversational manner.
Hearing this, i said, "Teacher, could I have a look at the Celestial Moon Elixir you made?"
Upon hearing i's request, Najib didn't mind.He imdiately handed the Celestial Moon Elixir he had crafted during the competition to his disciple. i opened the bottle cap, examined it closely, and then handed it to Ethen beside her.
Ethen glanced at it and then returned the bottle. This bottle of Celestial Moon Elixir was indeed not very impressive.
Not to ntion comparing it with what Ethen had crafted, it even had noticeable differences when compared to what i had made. After examining the bottle of elixir, i felt more confident.
Imdiately, she stepped into the center of the arena under the watchful eyes of the audience and approached the chief judge to discuss sothing. The chief judge was surprised by what he heard.
"Are you sure you want to challenge the champion?" the chief judge asked.
"Yes, Your Honor, I request your approval. I will bear all consequences myself. I promise this in the na of the young leader of the Black Eagle Tribe," i declared solemnly.
Hearing this, the chief judge's expression shifted dramatically. According to the competition rules, there was indeed a provision for a coback. It allowed any eliminated contestant to challenge the champion before the awards ceremony.
There was only one opportunity for such a challenge; if the challenger won, they would beco the champion. If the challenge failed, the challenger would be required to serve the champion unconditionally for one year.
Serving unconditionally for a year was equivalent to becoming a servant or maid for an entire year.
The cost is too great, so although the pharmaceutical competition has this rule, it is rarely invoked.
At this mont, i challenged the chief judge, causing a mont of hesitation.
"Please wait a mont, I will discuss this with the other judges."
"Alright."
The chief judge imdiately went to consult with the other judges in the panel about this matter. After a heated discussion, they finally reached a consensus: they agreed to i's challenge.
The judge announced this decision to the entire audience. Upon hearing that i was going to challenge Master Cobra, the crowd erupted in excitent. Even i's master, Najib, who knew her the best, couldn't help but call her back.
Najib was well aware of his disciple's capabilities. Although she was talented, she was still young and far from being a match for the old fox Cobra.
By challenging recklessly now, she was practically throwing herself into the fire. Just as Najib was about to personally intervene to pull i off the stage, Ethen stopped him.
"Senior Najib, please hear out. ii is not acting on impulse; she has a guaranteed plan to win..."
Ethen then explained to Najib about teaching i the pharmaceutical techniques. Najib was astonished: "You an, you spent the entire night in the tent discussing pharmaceuticals?"
"Of course, what else?" Ethen replied.
"I thought you were discussing how to have babies or sothing!"
Najib blurted out.
This remark, because he was in extre shock, was spoken loudly, and the surrounding people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Ethen: ￣□￣｜｜
anwhile, on the other side... Upon learning of i's intentions, the first to jump out in opposition was Kamal.
He angrily scolded, "i, you, a re top 12 contestant, dare to presumptuously challenge Master Cobra? Do you really think this is a playground for children? Get off the stage imdiately. If you want to cause trouble, go back to your Black Eagle tribe to do it, and stop embarrassing yourself here!"
In this competition, Kamal advanced to the top four through the assistance of Kerol, by undermining i. Thus, he was particularly fearful of i confronting him in public.
Seeing signs of such an occurrence, he imdiately spoke out to stop her. Hearing Kamal's words, many spectators from the White Tiger tribe and Viper tribes also booed i.
Clearly, most of them believed i was making a fool of herself. Even the champion, Cobra, was amused by i's audacity.
Have I really fallen to this point? Even a re child dares to step up and question the value of my championship title; this is truly outrageous.
However, Cobra, being a seasoned veteran, although annoyed, did not directly rebuke i like Kamal did.
He turned to the chief judge, cupped his hands, and said, "Judge, since you all feel it's necessary to have an additional match, I will oblige. I genuinely do not believe that Najib's disciple can cause any waves!"
With that, he stopped speaking and waited quietly for the judges' decision.
"Alright, thank you, Master Cobra, for your understanding."
Imdiately, the judges rearranged the arena. An additional match was about to begin.
Once both competitors took their places, the chief judge asked Cobra, "Master Cobra, if you are confident in the Celestical moon Elixir you crafted in the last round, you won't need to make anything new this ti. You can simply use that work and await i's challenge."
"Very well, then I will sit here and see what ingenious skills this challenger has."
Cobra nodded and sat down leisurely, looking at i. Clearly, he decided to use the sa 7.5 score Celestical moon Elixir for this showdown.
The chief judge then turned to i and said, "i, as the challenger, what dicine do you intend to prepare to challenge Master Cobra? Forgive for saying, but you must produce a sufficiently convincing result to dispel everyone's doubts."
Upon hearing this, i responded, "To report to the chief judge, I am also preparing to craft the Celestical moon Elixir this ti!"
What?
The audience was imdiately thrown into an uproar upon hearing i's words.
