He originally planned to be more low-key, so he only refined four Chi Lian Dan. If he had used his full skill, he could surpass the limit of five Chi Lian Dan refined from one furnace of materials and reach six or even seven.
Compared to his peak level, he had only refined four, which was quite a show of restraint. However, it seems that even so, his results were more shocking than he expected.
Of course, the Chief Examiner didn’t seem angry at all. In fact, his seemingly reprimanding tone was meant to show friendliness and get closer to Yang Chen. As the Chief Examiner, he was on the side of Beishan Main City and was the first to have the chance to win over geniuses.
However, he was not as well-connected as those Sect Elders, and his vision could not possibly match theirs.
Being won over to Beishan Main City’s side was not an easy task.
But Yang Chen had achieved top results in all three assessments… 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓮𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓉.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Such talent was definitely worth winning over.
He now resolved to show his goodwill to Yang Chen, then report back to his superiors, and wait for their decision.
After all, when it came to winning over a genius, Beishan Main City had to be extremely cautious.
And so, the assessment finally came to an end.
Yang Chen’s unbelievable performance in all three assessments set the Sect Elders who were observing the assessment on edge. Before the results were even announced, they left one after another to investigate Yang Chen’s background and prepare what kind of persuasive arguments and treasures they would use to win him over.
No sect would mind having an Alchemy Master among them.
At this moment, the Chief Examiner, with hands on his back, slowly said, “Alright, today’s basic assessment has ended. Those who scored higher than twelve in the three assessments combined are considered failures and will not advance to the next round of selection competition. Now I shall announce the successful participants. Those who have not been called may leave.” Soon after, the failed genius contestants began to leave one after another.
Only a few dozen people remained.
Watching these successful contestants, the Chief Examiner whispered with the rest of the judges, seemingly discussing something.
Then, the Chief Examiner said, “Yang Chen, after consulting with the rest of the judges, we have decided that due to your exceptional performance, you may skip the Alchemy Selection Competition and directly enter the Knockout
Competition. When the date for the Knockout Competition is decided, Beishan
Main City will notify you!”
Yang Chen nodded.
Upon thinking more about it, it was clear that the Chief Examiner’s decision was a sign of goodwill towards him.
This made the geniuses nearby extremely envious, their eyes blazing with jealousy.
Allowing Yang Chen to skin the Alchemy Selection Competition and proceed
directly to the Knockout Competition was a well- thought-out decision made by the judges and examiners, with the aid of sound transmission and the agreement of a certain influential individual behind the scenes.
It was obvious that the selection competition would be meaningless for someone with Yang Chen’s level of skill in the three assessments.
Most importantly, they wanted to win Yang Chen over, and they were already going to find him, so they might as well use the opportunity to notify him about the knockout competition’s start time to discuss the matter of winning him over.
After all, there couldn’t be anything wrong with securing a genius like Yang Chen first.
As for whether or not to win him over, it would be up to those above to decide.
After the assessment ended, Yang Chen naturally returned to his residence. 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝗹𝐞𝗮𝐬𝘁.𝐜𝐨𝐦
He was more or less prepared for the Sects’ attempts to win him over, but he never expected them to arrive so quickly, taking him by surprise.
He had just exchanged a few words with Zhou Haoran when Madam Luo from Yanhua Pool appeared at his residence with a beautiful girl, her cheeks blushing and a coy expression on her face. He didn’t know what she meant by this.
“Yang Chen, my friend, it’s only been a day and you’ve left me, your older sister, utterly astonished,” Madam Luo said with a playful laugh.
MO Huawu, who was beside her, rolled her eyes. You were the one who wanted me to marry Yang Chen, but now you want to be his sister. If I really do marry him in the future, and considering that I am your disciple and he would be your younger brother, how would our relationship work?
Not giving it much thought, Madam Luo was clearly willing to go all out to win over Yang Chen now.
Seeing Madam Luo acting this way, Yang Chen knew her purpose and smiled wryly: “Senior Luo, you’re too kind. What happened today was just a stroke of luck! ”
“Luck? I don’t think it was luck at all. Anyway, Young Master Yang, I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll get straight to the point, so you won’t think I lack sincerity,” said Madam Luo, her heart racing, afraid that time was running out. She didn’t even bother with pleasantries and hurriedly moved on to discussing the main issue.
However, before she could finish her words, a sudden ‘Stop!’ interrupted her.
This caused Madam Luo to frown, as the newcomer was none other than Elder Yu from Huangshan Sect.
With an unhappy expression, Madam Luo thought to herself, what a quick move Elder Yu had made! She had prepared in advance to arrive so quickly, yet Elder Yu, despite her swift preparations, was only two steps behind her.
Elder Yu could plainly see Madam Luo’s displeasure at his arrival. However, he couldn’t care less, as his purpose was to interrupt her attempt to win over Yang
Chen.
The key to winning over a genius was always to act first, and they couldn’t afford to let others take the lead.
This thought was shared by more than just the two of them, Elder Yu and Madam Luo.
Shortly after Elder Yu arrived, one after another, seven or eight nameless martial artists arrived at Yang Chen’s door, all of them possessing strong energy.
Naturally, Yang Chen couldn’t refuse and allowed them to enter.
Seeing this scene, both Madam Luo and Elder Yu felt somewhat embarrassed. They had feared competing against each other, and now, in just a blink of an eye, so many people had arrived. How could they not feel the pressure?
Madam Luo let out a charming huff and said, “Since everyone is here, we must follow the principle of first come, first served. Let’s not beat around the bush, as we all want to win over our young friend, Yang Chen. I arrived first, so it’s natural for me to make my offer first.”
“Madam Luo, that’s not for you to say. It’s up to Yang Chen to choose,” a senior elder from the Linghe Sect stroked his beard and smiled.
Upon hearing the elder’s interruption, Madam Luo let out a huff and then asked, “Young Master Yang, how would you like to choose?”
