The higher-ups of the Human Race Star Domain and the Beast Clan Star Domain believed that this was just the beginning of the four arts contest, and that Tan Yun would certainly be unable to claim victory.
On the Floating Platform, Shangguan Yuxin, who had initially not even glanced at Tan Yun, was now taking her first close look at him.
Aside from her amazement, she remained calm; in her heart, she absolutely did not believe that Tan Yun could defeat Chu Wuhen in the alchemical arts tournament.
At the seventh level of the Ancestral Tower, Fang Zixi looked toward the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon and said lightly, “Continue.”
“Yes, Palace Master.” The Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon respectfully accepted the order, raised his right hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet, and a deep, aged voice resonated throughout the Star Domain Dojo, “First, this vice palace master congratulates Tan Yun from the Four Arts Star Domain for being the first to secure a victory.”
“Now, I will explain the rules for the second round of the alchemical arts tournament.”
“Next, the palace master will present one hundred elixirs and give each participating disciple a jade tablet.”
“Whoever can write out the names, grades, and uses of the one hundred elixirs the fastest and correctly will be deemed the winner.”
“If anyone answers too hastily and makes even the slightest mistake with any of the one hundred elixirs, it will count as a failure, and they will automatically forfeit their qualification in the alchemical arts tournament.”
“For example, if Tan Yun rushes to answer first in this round of the alchemical arts tournament and makes a mistake, then his twenty-five honor points will not only be erased but will also count as an automatic forfeiture.”
“Do you all understand?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun, Chu Wuhen, Liang Bufan, and Longkui all nodded, saying, “Understood!”
“Hmm.” After nodding, the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon looked at Fang Zixi.
“Swish, swish, swish—”
As Fang Zixi’s delicate fingers flickered with the light of the Ancestral Ring, four bottles of elixirs and four jade tablets flew out, crossing the void and hovering before the four of Tan Yun.
“This palace master announces that the second round of the alchemical arts tournament begins.”
As soon as Fang Zixi finished speaking, Tan Yun was the first to open the potion bottle. Upon pouring out the one hundred elixirs, he released a surge of Divine Power, enveloping the elixirs and arranging them into a row, suspended in the air before him.
Chu Wuhen, Longkui, and Liang Bufan also poured out their one hundred elixirs and began to observe them intently.
“What a fast identification speed!” Fang Zixi’s heart trembled at the seventh level of the Ancestral Tower, and the other high-ranking officials felt the same.
In the eyes of the high-ranking officials from the three major star domains, while Chu Wuhen, Longkui, and Liang Bufan were still observing the one hundred elixirs, Tan Yun’s gaze swiftly scanned through the elixirs before he closed his eyes and focused!
At that moment, Tan Yun had no distractions, holding only one belief in his mind: he wanted nothing more than to use his swiftest speed to write the names, grades, and uses of the one hundred elixirs onto the jade tablet with his divine consciousness!
At this time, if everyone could release their divine consciousness and delve into Tan Yun's jade tablet, they would be utterly astonished!
Because Tan Yun’s divine consciousness wasn't writing out the names, grades, and uses of the elixirs line by line; instead, he was writing a hundred lines simultaneously, compiling information on over a hundred types of elixirs!
In other words, Tan Yun was using one mind for a hundred tasks!
At the same time, Chu Wuhen, Longkui, and Liang Bufan had completed their identification of the elixirs and each released their divine consciousness into their jade tablets. “Hmph, I, Longkui, possess the ability to multitask; I’m writing the information on eight types of elixirs simultaneously. Even if Tan Yun, this punk, finishes identifying the elixirs first, his speed of writing can never match mine!” Longkui thought to himself, “In this second round of the alchemical arts tournament, I will definitely win!”
