The faces of Xuan Sheng and the others turned completely pale, their eyes filled with despair. Many around them could not help but sigh upon witnessing this scene.
Everyone knew that although Qin Chen had failed the third round of the assessment, due to his performance in the first two rounds, he would never be able to enter the Ancient Yu Realm. However, it was also possible that he would still be noticed by the Alchemy Pavilion, as his results in the first two rounds were truly extraordinary.
But regardless of Qin Chen's future, the Northern Sky Domain's Alchemy Pavilion was finished.
With a debt of two trillion, the Northern Sky Domain's Alchemy Pavilion would not only go bankrupt, but it would also probably have no opportunity for development in the next hundred years, forced to live in endless debt repayment.
This was the consequence of arrogance and recklessness.
Now, many martial artists who had bet against Qin Chen winning the championship were excited and eager, all waiting to rush to the Wanbao Tower as soon as the competition ended to redeem their winnings.
With a debt of two trillion, the Northern Sky Domain's Alchemy Pavilion would certainly not be able to produce the funds right away. Those who went to redeem first might get their money, while those who came later would have to wait for some time.
However, because Wanbao Tower was the one running the betting, everyone was not overly anxious. The people from the Eastern Continent clearly understood the power of Wanbao Tower; this was a huge force that possessed miraculous wealth even within the Martial Domain, controlling a vast amount of wealth across the continent. They would not do anything to ruin their reputation by failing to pay.
At most, they would just have to wait a little longer.
“Alright, I now announce the final result of the three rounds of assessments…”
On the stage, Master Ouyang Zhengqi looked at everyone and began to announce the overall scores of the three rounds.
However, before he could finish speaking, a sudden voice interrupted him.
“Hold on!”
The voice was crisp, calm, and full of vigor.
Everyone turned to look, wondering who had the audacity to interrupt Master Ouyang Zhengqi? But when they saw who it was, they were stunned.
It was actually Qin Chen.
“Qin Chen, what do you want? Are you questioning Master Ouyang Zhengqi's judgment?”
“At the Four-Domain Alchemy Competition, you dare to act so wildly, so arrogant, truly the garbage from the Northern Sky Domain, without any manners.”
“Master Ouyang Zhengqi, this person is bold and reckless. I believe he should be dragged down.” Wang Tai had been eliminated early due to Qin Chen's interference and had been holding back his anger for a long time. Now, seizing the opportunity, he jumped out and sternly scolded.
Others also looked discontentedly at Qin Chen. Although they did not know what he wanted to say, daring to interrupt Master Ouyang Zhengqi at the Alchemy Competition was indeed quite arrogant. Couldn’t he wait until the competition was over?
Ouyang Zhengqi stopped and looked at Qin Chen indifferently, showing no signs of anger, but his gaze was very cold as he said, “Do you have anything to say?”
Qin Chen cupped his hands and was not intimidated by Master Ouyang Zhengqi's gaze. Instead, he said, “Master Ouyang Zhengqi, I apologize for interrupting. It is not my intention to disrupt the competition rules, but rather that you have incorrectly assessed my results, so I must appeal.”
“You… bold!”
“What are you, to dare say that Master Ouyang Zhengqi made an error in judgment? Such audacity.”
“Qin Chen, relying on your little talent, you are so arrogant, truly unaware of the heavens and the earth. Although your alchemical talent is good, without virtue in alchemy, what qualification do you have to become a pharmacist?”
“Master Ouyang Zhengqi, I respectfully ask you to command your disciples to take down this arrogant person, to uphold the spirit of the competition.” Wang Tai and the others immediately jumped up again, their expressions stern and voices loud, but their hearts were filled with joy.
