The elder alchemist took the seemingly dirty pill with a look of disgust, but still diligently examined it carefully. "Vermilion Bird Academy, hmm, this is a Sweet Water Pill. As the name suggests, its only function is to transform into a stream of sweet spring water to moisten the throat. Grade... Holy crap, this is a top-grade, supreme-quality pill."
The elder alchemist, whose face had been as calm as still water in an ancient well, suddenly screamed as if his tail had been stepped on after carefully examining him.
The fingers that had been holding the pill with disdain instantly became respectful, and the person looked at the pill and then at Dongfang Mian with disbelief.
"Elder, did you see it clearly? This thing can be a top-grade item?" On the dean's seat, Dean Baihu looked at the famously rigorous elder alchemist of the White Tiger Continent whose expression changed so quickly and couldn't help but ask with suspicion.
Upon hearing this, the elder alchemist was immediately displeased and said with a dark face, "I guarantee with my reputation as a senior alchemist that this is a top-grade pill with excellent patterns. The first place in this alchemy competition belongs to the Vermilion Bird Academy."
"Yay!"
The Vermilion Bird Academy erupted in cheers. Dongfang Mian calmly waved his hand and said, "Students, calm down. They are our guests. Although their skill level is a bit lacking, we still need to give them some face."
The students from the three academies were all choking as if they had swallowed excrement. The irritable man couldn't help but shout, "Tch, what's so great about being good at alchemy? Strength is the most important thing. Even if your broken pill is of divine quality, it's just turning into a mouthful of water. What good is it? Bah!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Mian seemed to suddenly understand and said to the Dean, "Dean, let's continue the competition. I still have four matches to go. Let's speed things up and try to finish them all in one day."
The dean, who had been excitedly joining in, suddenly gave a wry smile. Good grief, the other four-hospital competitions usually last almost half a month, and you want it all over in one day? That's really... exhilarating!
The dean immediately stood up, raised his arm, and announced the official start of the fire attribute cultivation competition.
Still on this stage, the four people who were originally standing in the four corners instantly turned into two teams: one side was Dongfang Mian, and the other side was a group of students from the three academies united together.
"Are you trying to bully me, a young woman, by outnumbering me?" Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
These three guys must have been furious with their actions just now, and they didn't even care about the reputation of their academy anymore, only thinking about giving Dongfang Mian a good beating.
“I’m telling you, this isn’t the style of a graduate school, especially since our Vermilion Bird Academy has a delicate female student,” the Dean said, mimicking the tone of the Azure Dragon Dean.
The three deans pretended not to hear. Although it was a bit embarrassing, they were all so eager to beat up Dongfang Mian that they didn't care about anything else.
The students from the three academies sneered at Dongfang Mian, then consumed the pills they had just refined. They then channeled their fire-attribute spiritual energy, and three fire snakes rushed toward Dongfang Mian at an extremely fast speed.
Dongfang Mian stood still without flinching, only frowning as she asked, "Is this your strongest strength? Three little earthworms?"
Before the three could answer, Dongfang Mian continued, "Since that's the case, I won't give you any more opportunities to show your skills. After all, I have quite a few matches to play. Burn, fire dragon!"
Three fire dragons burst forth, sweeping past like a whirlwind.
