Chapter 303: 300: Who is the Trickster? 1
Zhou Haoran looked at the name “Ma Shengan” and smiled: “Young friend Yang Chen, this battle shouldn’t be too much trouble. According to the information I have, Ma Shengan is just a Third-Grade Elementary Alchemist.”
Yang Chen nodded and headed up to the ring without exchanging pleasantries.
At this moment, Yang Chen undoubtedly became the center of attention. Almost everyone’s eyes were on him, curious about how much more this young man was capable of revealing.
Upon reaching the ring, Yang Chen looked at the not-so-old teenager in front of him and bowed slightly.
Ma Shengan, dressed in a purple robe, smiled and said: “I am Ma Shengan. Little Brother Yang, your alchemy level is indeed outstanding. I saw everything just now, and I believe your alchemy level must be more than just Third-Grade Elementary. I am barely a Third-Grade Elementary Alchemist, and it is very difficult for me to refine Grade 3 first-rank pills.”
Seeing that Ma Shengan was being so polite, Yang Chen replied softly: “Brother
Ma, you flatter me.”
“Ah? No, no. I’m not exaggerating. I just really lack the confidence to compete with you, Little Brother Yang. How about this, you give me a chance, and we compete in refining Second-Grade Perfect Elixirs? Considering your alchemy level, even a Second-Grade Perfect Elixir should be enough to defeat me. In fact, I just don’t want to lose too badly.” Ma Shengan said with a bitter smile.
Seeing Ma Shengan’s sincere expression, Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. He initially thought that Ma Shengan was a decent person, but upon closer observation, he detected a hint of conspiracy in Ma Shengan’s eyes.
Yang Chen’s mouth curled up without mentioning his suspicions, and he said loudly: “Alright, since Brother Ma has such an interest, I won’t spoil it for you.”
Seeing this, a flash of success in his eyes, Ma Shengan bowed his hands and muttered: “Thank you.”
Both of them stopped talking and sat down, taking out their Pill Furnaces.
With the Pill Furnace out, Yang Chen calmly put in the materials.
Ma Shengan also started throwing materials into his furnace, all while being observed by Yang Chen.
Yang Chen smirked as if he knew Ma Shengan’s true intentions.
Ma Shengan’s words and actions didn’t match.
He said he wanted to compete in refining Second-Grade Perfect Elixirs, but in reality, he was using materials for refining the Third-Grade Middle-stage Tai Ling Elixir.
Identifying the type of pill being refined based solely on the used materials may be impossible for others, but not for Yang Chen.
This was quite a good idea by Ma Shengan.
On the surface, he said he would refine a Second -Grade Perfect Elixir, but the materials he used were for a Third-Grade Middle-stage Elixir. If Yang Chen blindly believed him and honestly refined a Second-Grade Perfect Elixir, there would be no one to cry about losing to. The referees would only look at the results, not the process.
While a Third-Grade Elementary pill could secure victory against a Third-Grade Middle-stage pill in terms of quantity, it is hard to do so with the large gap between a Second -Grade Perfect Elixir and a Third-Grade Middle-stage Elixir.
Yang Chen couldn’t help but chuckle at Ma Shengan, who appeared cunning and deceitful. Ma Shengan’s Third -Grade Elementary Alchemist status underestimated him.
Zhou Family’s intel was mistaken this time.
With these thoughts, Yang Chen placed the materials into the furnace and carefully refined the pills.
About a cup of tea’s time later, Ma Shengan’s face showed a joyful expression.
A strong pill fragrance emanated from his Pill Furnace, indicating that the pill refining was successful.
Ma Shengan was overjoyed upon seeing the Third-Grade Middle-stage Tai Ling Elixir in his furnace, laid quietly and looking very pleased with the result.
At this thought, Ma Shengan took out the elixir and hurriedly said, “Referee, my elixir is ready.”
“Third-Grade Middle-stage Elixir, Tai Ling Elixir!”
“Ma Shengan is actually a Third-Grade Middle-high Alchemist! It seems that our information about him is flawed.”
Even the Referee looked astonished at the Tai Ling Elixir.
For Ma Shengan, refining this Third-Grade Middle-stage Elixir was a rare accomplishment. With the successful refinement, he believed that victory was now in his grasp. Seeing Yang Chen still refining, Ma Shengan lazily said, “Brother Yang Chen, I’m sorry, but people’s hearts are full of malice. You can stop trying to refine your Second -Grade Perfect Elixir. Just let me win, alright?”
He obviously thought Yang Chen was refining a Second-Grade Perfect Elixir. Seeing Ma Shengan’s confident demeanor, Yang Chen didn’t mind playing along with Ma Shengan’s farce, and feigned anger: “Ma Shengan, you actually cheated!”
Ma Shengan snickered: “So what if I cheated? Humph, in this life of alchemy, Little Brother Yang Chen, you’re still too naive. How can you trust others so easily? Hahahaha!”
The referees looked at Ma Shengan with cold eyes, naturally displeased with his opportunistic victory tactics.
But what could they do? According to the rules, if Yang Chen’s refining was unsuccessful, Ma Shengan would still be the winner.
Such a pity that Yang Chen was still a bit too naive, completely believing in Ma Shengan and attempting to refine a Second-Grade Perfect Elixir.
However, Yang Chen suddenly became very calm: “Indeed, how can I so easily trust others?”
After saying this, Yang Chen’s refining process reached its end.
As the pill fragrance overflowed, Yang Chen opened the Pill Furnace, and an Essence Pill was in his hand.
“Essence Pill?”
The referees looked delighted.
Ma Shengan retreated in fear, “You… But no matter, an Essence Pill is just a
Third-Grade Elementary Pill. I still win.”
“Hehe, Ma Shengan, did you forget how I defeated Wen Feiyang?” Yang Chen’s mouth curved up, and he poured out all the pills from the Pill Furnace, revealing nine Essence Pills, not a single one less.
Seeing the nine Essence Pills, Ma Shengan’s face showed despair, and he stared at Yang Chen, swallowing hard.
Yang Chen naturally wouldn’t be polite to someone like Ma Shengan now and said coldly, “Ma Shengan, you seem to be very disappointed?”
Ma Shengan glared at Yang Chen with rage, “You, Yang Chen, you cheated too!”
Yang Chen burst out laughing.
“Ma Shengan, get lost!” The referees looked at Ma Shengan in disgust.
They naturally wouldn’t be polite to someone like Ma Shengan.
Subsequently, the referees declared loudly: “Yang Chen, with nine True Essence
Pills, you are the winner!”
