Time marched on.
"Look, am I seeing things? Spiritual Array No. 1 has requested another blank jade slip!"
"My heavens, sixteen Transformations still weren't enough to satisfy Young Master Xu's appetite? While refining pills, he even deduced a seventeenth Transformation?"
"Young Master Xu, my Young Master Xu, I'm convinced! I should've bet on you just now. You really are... impossible not to love and hate at once!"
"Really, how could there be someone like this? Looking at the old presidents' reactions on the judges' platform, they were shocked practically every time Young Master Xu requested ingredients. That can only mean Young Master Xu was very likely right every time."
"My little Chuchu, why are you so disappointing? You still haven't refined even the first Transformation!"
The spectators outside the arena gripped the railings, anxiously pointing and commenting.
By now, there was almost no one who was not watching Young Master Xu.
For no other reason than that, in an arena that had always known only dead silence and exploding furnaces, this fellow had successfully unleashed pill-forming radiance several times.
That achievement alone utterly crushed everyone else! "What does this mean?"
The judges received another new note, but they could no longer make sense of Young Master Xu's intentions.
This newly delivered note contained only three medicinal ingredients.
Yet the old men smelled something earth-shattering in it. "What exactly is he trying to do? These old bones of mine can't take any more shocks..."
Dong Ling waved a hand and said numbly, "Approved!"
In this round alone, she had shouted this single word, "approved," countless times. She feared it would leave lasting effects.
At the very least, she now felt that she could no longer quite understand how the word was pronounced.
Spiritual Array No. 1 received the ingredients.
