[The Strongest Alchemist Tournament is about to begin. Hosted by the Alchemy Guild, it will be livestreamed in its entirety on the Magic Net!]
The Strongest Alchemist Tournament would determine the title of the world's strongest alchemist!
The news immediately caused a tremendous uproar.
Alchemists were the most unique group among mages. Nearly all traditional mages depended on them, since the magic items and potions they used were all produced and crafted by alchemists.
However, most mages had never known just how skilled the alchemists they sought out actually were. They usually relied on word of mouth and reputation when searching.
Getting burned was something practically every mage encountered.
But if this competition went ahead smoothly, would they be able to use everyone's rankings to make their decisions in the future?
After seeing the schedule, many people thought exactly that.
According to the announcement released by the Alchemy Guild, the tournament would consist of two stages: qualifiers and finals. The qualifier stage would determine the strongest alchemist in each country. Every nation would establish its own qualification rules based on its actual circumstances and conduct selections.
The recommended selection method was Points.
Competing in various city tournaments would earn Points, and those with the highest accumulated Points could advance.
The reason for this was that every alchemist specialized in different things. Some might excel at crafting magic items, while others were skilled at brewing potions. Only through more competitions and accumulated Points could the results become consistent.
Once the strongest alchemist in each country had been determined, they could be sent to Alchemy City for the qualifier finals, where the final candidates for the main tournament would be selected.
Of course, once someone reached this stage, the Alchemy Guild would cover all expenses for their trip to Alchemy
