The Competition Begins, Heavenly Flame Stuns the Crowd

At Fama's words, the many Alchemists waiting in the waiting room immediately rose to their feet and headed for the entrance leading to the competition area at the center of the plaza, where they formed a line.

Under the inspection of the convention staff, the Alchemists presented their registration tokens one by one, passed through the entrance, and entered the competition area in the middle of the plaza.

As time passed, the line steadily moved forward until it was finally Bai Ge's turn.

After presenting the registration token he had received when signing up, Bai Ge also passed through the entrance without issue and entered the competition area at the center of the plaza.

The competition area in the center of the plaza was filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of the bluestone square platforms Bai Ge had seen at the Alchemist Guild before.

A medicinal cauldron sat on one side of each platform, while a pile of medicinal ingredients rested on the other.

Quite a few participating Alchemists had already chosen their bluestone platforms and were standing quietly behind them, waiting for the competition to begin.

After entering the plaza, Bai Ge first glanced toward the VIP Box.

Fama, Jia Xing Tian, Yao Ye, Ya Fei, Otto, and Foklan had already taken their places there, along with many people Bai Ge either knew or did not know.

Among those he knew were clan leaders from great families, such as Nalan Jie, while most of those he did not know were powerful nobles from Jia Ma Imperial City.

As for the spectator stands, the crowd was too dense to make out anyone clearly.

The packed seats were nearly full, and every spectator watched the competition area at the center of the plaza with eager, expectant eyes.
