On the challenge stage, Gu Ding and Sa Ze's competition continued.
The two had completely different styles of refining potions. Sa Ze was quick and nimble, while Gu Ding was steady and composed. Although they were still far from becoming true Pharmacist Masters, their styles were already taking shape, showing a hint of the demeanor of a Pharmacist Master.
Gu Ding's speed in refining the second potion increased slightly, but he remained steady.
Sa Ze's refining speed was still very fast, only slowing down slightly when performing individual steps. The surrounding Pharmacists could feel that Sa Ze was much more cautious than before; this time, he was truly treating Gu Ding as his opponent.
After about ten minutes, Sa Ze's second potion took shape. It was still a warm, milky white, clearly another Perfect Quality potion. The moment he saw the color of the potion, Sa Ze seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief. Refining two bottles of Perfect Quality potions consecutively was a record he had never achieved before. It was clearly the pressure from Gu Ding that allowed him to perform exceptionally.
Less than a minute after Sa Ze's second potion was refined, the potion in Gu Ding's hand also took shape. The milky white liquid gently swirled in the fusion cup, making the hearts of the many onlookers ripple along with it.
"Our Tianhe Star Region has also produced such a genius now!" In the Medicine King Valley of the Tianhe Star Region, even temporary residents were mostly native to the Tianhe Star Region. Although all of Gu Ding's information seemed to be shrouded in mist, and no one knew if he was a native resident of the Tianhe Star Region, at least he was currently accepting Sa Ze's challenge for the Tianhe Star Region. If he won, it would also represent the victory of the Tianhe Star Region.
Seeing four bottles of Perfect Quality potions appear consecutively was the first time for the vast majority of the onlookers. For many, this was a moment they would never forget in their lives.
Gu Ding and Sa Ze's competition continued.
During the process of refining the third bottle of potion, Sa Ze made a slight mistake, and the final potion refined was of Ultimate Quality.
After him, Gu Ding once again refined a bottle of Perfect Quality potion.
Three consecutive tubes of Perfect Quality potions. So far, Gu Ding's probability of refining Perfect Quality potions was one hundred percent, which could be described as terrifying.
Everyone was now somewhat anticipating how many tubes of Perfect Quality potions this seemingly thin young man could refine consecutively.
When refining the fourth bottle of potion, Sa Ze completely let go of the competitive mindset. He began to pursue surpassing himself, making himself better each time. The change in his mindset allowed him to completely immerse himself in the process of refining the potion. This tube of potion was also of Perfect Quality.
As for Gu Ding, he was as stable as ever, and his refining speed was even slightly faster than the third tube, almost on par with Sa Ze. And what he refined was still a Perfect Quality potion.
Time passed by second by second, and none of the onlookers could bear to leave.
Sa Ze refined four more tubes of Perfect Quality potions consecutively.
And Gu Ding maintained the terrifying record of refining eight tubes of Perfect Quality potions consecutively. This was the first time such a thing had happened in Medicine King Valley.
This left the many surrounding Pharmacists so astonished that they couldn't close their mouths. At this moment, they really wanted to know how far Gu Ding could go.
However, some also raised doubts. "Could this kid be cheating? Using a data loophole in Medicine King Valley."
"The possibility of cheating is not high. Medicine King Valley is an independent network with extremely high protection levels. A security verification is performed the first time you log in each time, and accounts with security risks are not allowed to log in. Moreover, there is a special intelligence within Medicine King Valley, which is said to have inherited eighty percent of Heaven's functions. Once someone's data is abnormal, the special intelligence will directly ban the account," explained an old Pharmacist who was quite familiar with Medicine King Valley.
"Whether or not a Perfect Quality potion can be refined can be guessed to some extent by watching the entire process of the other party's operation. The young man's operation has been zero errors so far, leaving no room for fault. Even an A-Rank Pharmacist can only achieve this level," another old man, clearly a Pharmacist, chimed in.
As the eighth bottle of potion was completed, Sa Ze's condition slightly declined. It was normal for continuous refining to cause fatigue. Sa Ze knew that if he continued, his condition would likely get worse and worse. He decisively put down the materials for refining the ninth bottle of potion and began to close his eyes and rest.
As for Gu Ding, he still didn't stop, but instead refined faster and faster. His ninth tube of potion was quickly completed, still of Perfect Quality, and he finally surpassed Sa Ze's refining speed.
After resting for nearly ten minutes, Sa Ze resumed refining.
Over the next hour and a half, Gu Ding refined eleven bottles of Perfect Quality Swift Wing Enhancer consecutively. And Sa Ze also refined eight tubes. Everyone was somewhat numb from watching.
The competition between the two, which lasted for over three hours, finally determined the winner.
Gu Ding had twenty tubes of Perfect Quality Swift Wing Enhancer, while Sa Ze had fifteen tubes of Perfect Quality and five tubes of Ultimate Quality. The outcome of the victory was naturally self-evident.
Refining twenty tubes of Perfect Quality potions consecutively was simply unheard of in the history of pharmacy. Whether in the real world or in Medicine King Valley, no one had ever heard of such a thing.
Gu Ding created a record that left people in awe. Sa Ze's performance was also amazing, with a seventy-five percent success rate for Perfect Quality potions, which was undoubtedly a terrifying number, but his brilliance was completely overshadowed by Gu Ding.
"I lost." On the challenge stage, Sa Ze walked towards Gu Ding, a hint of bitterness in the smile on his face. He had given his all, even surpassed himself, but he still lost. He could only say that his opponent was truly too strong, and he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.
"It's just a temporary win or loss, who knows what the next competition will be like." Gu Ding grinned, smiling. Sa Ze was indeed a very good opponent. If Sa Ze hadn't put pressure on him, he probably wouldn't have performed so astonishingly.
"Okay, when I go back this time, I'll have my teacher give me some intense training. When I feel I'm ready, I'll come challenge you again." Sa Ze's fighting spirit was ignited once more.
However, neither of them knew that the entire three-hour-plus competition had been filmed by some interested parties and uploaded to the public video area.
"Huh, this guy uploaded a new video again." Ma Dike, who was browsing the public video area, suddenly saw that the person who had uploaded the video of Gu Ding refining Perfect Quality White Rhino Enhancer a few hours ago had uploaded a new video. "'Ultimate Showdown of Two Monstrous Pharmacists'?"
Clicking on the video, Ma Dike recognized Sa Ze the moment he saw him. Then, he saw Gu Ding, who was competing against Sa Ze. He patiently watched, but he didn't expect to watch for over three hours. After finishing, he couldn't help but praise, "Men Ze really took in a good disciple, but who is that monstrous young man's disciple? Regardless, this video should be shown to that little girl Pa Ma."
As usual, after liking the video, Ma Dike sent it to Pa Ma.
As soon as Pa Ma opened the video, she saw Gu Ding. With a hint of curiosity, she watched the entire video and was filled with shock. She hadn't expected Gu Ding's growth to be so rapid. In just a day or two, he had already become a celebrity in Medicine King Valley. She also saw that the previous video already had over two million views.
"Teacher, this thin young man is the Gu Ding I mentioned to you." Pa Ma's first sentence after connecting with Ma Dike's communicator made Ma Dike pause. Gu Ding's identity had been bothering him all day. He had been guessing whose disciple this was, and he hadn't expected this kid to be the self-taught Gu Ding.
"I'll go to Deep Sea Star later. Help me contact that kid and arrange a meeting or something." Ma Dike raised his arm and sniffed his armpit, shaking his head with some dissatisfaction. He felt he should take a shower.
"Teacher, he's not on Deep Sea Star anymore." Pa Ma also guessed that her teacher probably really wanted Gu Ding as a disciple. The video she had just watched was enough to make any A-Rank Pharmacist scramble to take Gu Ding as a disciple.
"What?!" Ma Dike sounded like he was about to explode. "Then do you know where he went?"
"He left yesterday in the Young Eagle by himself, saying he wanted to become an Interstellar Pirate. As for where he went, he didn't say." Pa Ma spoke half a sentence, then paused. After thinking that teasing her teacher like this seemed a bit unkind, she continued, "However, I can contact him. I'll ask him later where he'll be stopping and then inform you, Teacher."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Hanging up the call, Ma Dike entered a state of anxious waiting.
