Martial Master

Encountering the Flame Lion, there was actually such a way to escape. This method, I didn't even think of when designing this question; it's so much easier than what I had set.

And this question, using Ash Grass to decompose the toxin of the Silver Ring Scorpion, how did he come up with that?

And this one...

For a moment, Liu Guang was completely shocked by Qin Chen's answers.

He had fixed answers in mind for each question he designed, believing those answers to be the best solutions.

But after seeing the answers provided by Qin Chen, he realized that someone had actually solved the problems he had set with a better method.

This feeling was like enlightenment, making Liu Guang extremely excited.

If it was just one question, that would be fine, but to have so many questions answered perfectly showed that the other party's understanding of spiritual herbs and various species had reached an extraordinary level, even surpassing his own.

Such answers, and you guys actually marked them wrong; it simply drives me crazy!

Picking up a correction pen, Liu Guang quickly made corrections in the areas checked by Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng.

After the corrections, the three of them were all startled, their eyes nearly popping out in disbelief.

How is it possible that all the answers are correct?!

The revised exam paper had almost no errors, a perfect score, all correct!

A genius, a genius indeed!

Liu Guang was so excited he was trembling all over. If it was just an ordinary perfect score, he might not have been so excited, but the other party had elevated his answers to a new level, actually achieving a complete correctness, which was simply unbelievable.

Let me see, what is this candidate's name? Qin Chen, where is he? Call him in immediately; I want to see how he performs in practical operations!

Clenching his fists, Liu Guang trembled with excitement.

This person named Qin Chen is so strong in theory; as long as he reaches a general level in practical operations, he can completely be recruited under my banner.

Once such a genius is cultivated, it’s not impossible for him to reach my height in the future.

Not good!

Hearing Liu Guang's words, Ouyang Cheng, who had been shocked, suddenly snapped back to reality and jumped up.

What happened?

Master Liu Guang, before you arrived, we already sent someone outside to notify the results of the first round. Qin Chen scored seventy points and has been eliminated; he might have already left.

What? What did you say? Liu Guang was so angry he almost slapped Ouyang Cheng: Are you even alchemists? Do you have the ability to assess others?

Such an outstanding candidate, and you only gave him seventy points, directly eliminated him after the first round—what the hell were you two thinking?

We...

Ouyang Cheng and Chen Mu blushed and were at a loss for words.

They couldn’t say it was because they disliked that kid, so they didn’t give him a good score, right?

If that were the case, their own moral standards as alchemists would be questioned.

But if they said it was because they failed to recognize the sophistication of his answers, that would be even worse.

Wouldn’t that imply that their own accomplishments in alchemy were not even as good as a young boy's?

For a moment, both their faces flushed red, feeling a burning shame, wishing they could sink into the ground.

Alright, follow me out immediately to see if Qin Chen has really left. If he has, I’ll make you regret it!

With an angry roar, Liu Guang rushed out in haste.

Just as Chen Mu and Ouyang Cheng had said, when Liu Guang was checking Qin Chen's exam paper, a young apprentice alchemist beside Ouyang Cheng had already arrived outside the assessment room.

Outside the assessment room, the originally noisy crowd fell silent upon seeing the newcomer, all expressions serious.

It's Wang Jun, the apprentice of Master Ouyang.

This person was also an apprentice alchemist, but he was lucky enough to be noticed by Master Ouyang six months ago and has been learning by his side. It was said that after only six months of study, he had advanced from a mid-level apprentice to a senior apprentice.
