• When the receptionist asked whether he wanted to test for Seventh Grade Low-level or Mid-level Alchemist, Su Yun asked to take the Seventh Grade Peak assessment instead.

Su Yun entered the Pill Tower’s alchemist assessment, taking the Seventh Grade Mid-level test because he lacked a guarantor for a higher-grade assessment. As he began refining a pill, the examiners discovered he wielded the Fallen Heart Flame and had reached the Spirit Realm in Soul Power.

• Su Yun learned that he needed an Eighth Grade Alchemist as a guarantor to take the Seventh Grade Peak assessment, so he chose the Seventh Grade Mid-level assessment instead.

The assessment began with the Spirit Profound Clear Ascension Pill, and Su Yun waited to see how the two women would handle the challenge.

• The three candidates opened their pill formulas and found that they had to refine the Spirit Profound Clear Ascension Pill.
• Su Yun studied Cao Ying and Dan Chen instead of starting immediately, curious how they would refine a Grade 8 Pill with their current Soul Power.

Su Yun, Cao Ying, and Dan Chen began the Eighth Grade Alchemist assessment, where Su Yun’s Heavenly Flame and Late Spirit Realm Soul Power stunned the others.

• Su Yun refined a Grade 8 Two-colored Pill, and Xuan Kongzi watched to see how he would withstand its pill lightning.
• Su Yun used the Heavenly Demon Puppet to absorb the pill lightning, raising it to Four-Star Peak Dou Venerate.
• The pill’s spirituality formed a white rabbit, which Su Yun handed to Xuan Kongzi.
• Xuan Kongzi asked who had taught Su Yun, but Su Yun declined to reveal his teacher’s name and was sent with Great Elder Qiu Ling to certify his rank.

• Su Yun found that his Dou Zun bottleneck resisted his assaults, so he used the system to obtain and swallow a Wall-Breaking Pill.
• Su Yun renewed his assault on the Dou Zun bottleneck, and a shattering sound echoed through the System Space.

• Su Yun advanced to Dou Venerate and tested the strength of his Five-Colored Flames and Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Changes.

He watched Xiao Yan compete from the crowd, and the chapter left off as Feng Qing’er arrived and a bolt of lightning descended.
