This is impossible

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, and the three of them threw the pills in their hands into the testing machine almost simultaneously.

As the three added their pills, countless gazes immediately turned towards them. Although they were surprised that Xiao Shi Yi hadn't included his, these three were still strong contenders for the championship, so they were also eager to know who among them had the strongest pill-refining skills.

Thud, thud, thud!

After a brief silence, the jade mirror emitted three muffled sounds, and three brilliant green beams of light suddenly shot out from the stone platform in front of the three people. The concentration of these three colors was clearly much stronger than any of the beams that had been tested before.

Of the three beams of light, the one on the left was slightly fainter, the one on the right was slightly brighter, and the one in the middle, the color of the pill refined by Xiao Yan, was like jade, looking extremely tempting.

"Wow, what a rich color!" Exclamations kept coming from the audience.

The Little Princess looked at the lush green before her with slight surprise, shook her head, and sighed, "Mr. Yan Xiao's alchemy skills are indeed as outstanding as yours in refining Ironwood Spirit Leaf. Yao Yue is completely humbled."

"Just lucky!" Xiao Yan said with a faint smile.

Liu Ling's expression was not so good; in fact, it darkened. Her eyes were fixed on the jade mirror that was flashing with green light, and she suddenly felt an urge to smash it.

Fama squinted at Xiao Yu's direction, and was somewhat puzzled when he saw that Xiao Yu had not put his own pills into the testing machine.

Otto whispered, "Is this kid lacking confidence in his pill-making skills? That shouldn't be the case. If he wasn't confident, why would he make them so quickly? Is it just to show off?"

Master Bu Lin glared at Otto and said, "Shut your mouth. Xiao Yu must have a reason for doing this. This first hurdle is a piece of cake for him."

Otto chuckled and said, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in the little guy, but you're right, I really don't understand him!"

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner, a young man clad in a gray robe was about to put the pill in his hand into the testing machine when he suddenly noticed Xiao Yu's gaze. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Could I have been discovered? Impossible, my pills shouldn't be faulty."

Only after realizing this did Yan Li feel Yan Li. He slightly raised his face, his eyes, which shimmered with a pale blue light, carrying a hint of coldness, and after glancing at Xiao Yu, he slowly placed the pill in his hand into the testing machine.

Fama, sitting in the VIP section, had a slight change in expression. He let out a soft exclamation, glanced at Xiao Yu, shook his head, and then noticed that Xiao Yu's gaze was fixed on a certain direction in the square.

Fama followed Xiao Yu's gaze, his old eyes narrowing slightly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy eyes. "That person seems rather strange!"

Elder Jia and Hai Bodong looked at the gray-robed man with some surprise. "What's wrong?"

Fama and said, "I just noticed that the gray-robed man's Soul Power was quite strong, seemingly similar to Xiao Shi Yi's, which is why I was a little puzzled. Interestingly, that little guy also seemed to have noticed something was wrong!"

Hai Bodong frowned and asked, "Between this gray-robed man and Xiao Shi Yi, whose Soul Power is stronger?"

Fama pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Shi Yi, I didn't expect him to discover this person's existence before me. It seems Xiao Shi Yi's Soul Power is stronger than I imagined!"

At that moment, a dazzling green beam of light suddenly shot out from the stone platform in front of the gray-robed man, its brightness even more intense than Xiao Yan's.

Everyone in the square was drawn to the sudden burst of bright green light, and when they saw where the gray-robed man was, they were all stunned.

The Little Princess asked with some surprise, "That guy, was Xiao Shi Yi referring to him just now?"

Liu Ling's face was quite grim. He hadn't expected Xiao Shi Yi to be right, but his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. Where did this guy come from?

Xiao Yan and the other two looked at Xiao Yu with some confusion, hoping he could provide an explanation.

Xiao Yu smiled calmly and said, "My Soul Power is stronger than yours, so I'm more sensitive to Soul Power. That guy's Soul Power is stronger than yours!"

The three of them did not refute Xiao Yu's words, after all, the facts were there: the gray-robed guy's pills were better than theirs!

On the platform, Fama suddenly turned to Qiemier and said in a deep voice, "Chelsea, give me this man's information!"

Chelsea quickly found the man's information and handed it to Fama. Fama opened the information and saw a portrait of the man in the gray robe, a boy of sixteen or seventeen. What Fama's attention even more was that this guy came from the Chuyun Empire!

Fama frowned and said, "This information isn't right. I clearly sensed the strength of Fourth-grade Alchemist, but it's recorded as second-grade. That's a huge discrepancy!"

Hai Bodong comforted him from the side, "What are you afraid of? That little guy Xiao Shi Yi hasn't even made a move yet, has he?"

This reminded Fama. Looking at the calm and composed Xiao Shi Yi on the sidelines, Fama suddenly let out a soft sigh and said, "Perhaps this little guy really is stronger than this gray-robed man. We can't just stop him, can we? After all, we also have freaks like Xiao Shi Yi on our side. If we attack this person, the reputation of our Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Guild will be ruined!"

Chelsea smiled wryly and said, "A seventeen-year-old Fourth-grade Alchemist, that's even more talented than Xiao Shi Yi!"

Fama was silent for a moment before saying, "Suspicion is acceptable, but we can't take action. At least I haven't found any evidence that he's disguised. If this person really is a genius cultivated by the Chuyun Empire, then if we take action, it will be detrimental to the Jia Ma Empire!"

"However, we can investigate and keep a close watch on this guy. Now it depends on whether Xiao Shi Yi's talent or this guy's talent is stronger. I have more confidence in Xiao Shi Yi. He was able to detect the gray-robed man's presence first. Xiao Shi Yi will probably become this man's nightmare!" Fama chuckled.

Elder Jia sighed softly, "Alas, there's nothing we can do now. If the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Tournament championship is won by someone from the Chuyun Empire, the Jia Ma Empire will lose all face!"

In fact, it's not just the Jia Ma Empire, but the Alchemist Guild as well!

Beneath the grey robe, the young man gave a chilling smile and said, "This is only the first match. From now on, I will win every single first match..."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of exclamations rang out. Yan Li frowned slightly and looked in Xiao Yu's direction, where a green light shot straight into the sky, its color brighter and more dazzling than Yan Li's green light!

"This is impossible!" Yan Li stared intently at the pillar of light in front of Xiao Yu with a cold gaze, and roared in a low voice.

"Hahaha, good!" Fama laughed loudly as he looked at Xiao Yu's green beam of light.

Elder Jia also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This guy is really strong!"

Liu Ling and the Little Princess stared blankly at the green beam of light. Compared to what they had imagined, it was far inferior. Xiao Yan's expression was also somewhat complicated, but more than that, it was one of admiration and joy!

Ya Fei covered her red lips, her bright eyes looking at Xiao Yu, who stood in the center surrounded by everyone like a star, her heart filled with admiration and joy, and cheers immediately rang out in the square!
