The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1509 He's actually faster than me?

If Lin Chen had insisted that Zeng Tongxiu had said these words, others might not have believed him. But since Lin Chen suddenly changed his story, people were more inclined to believe him.

Who can blame them when the Twin Dragons Sect has always been known for its arrogant and domineering style?
The Twin Dragons Sect is very powerful, especially in the field of alchemy.

Based on this impression, everyone subconsciously felt that it was perfectly normal for Zeng Tongxiu to say such arrogant words. After all, these people did not know that Lin Chen had beaten up Zeng Tongxiu. Seeing Lin Chen's unwilling change of words, they subconsciously thought that he had been threatened.

The way people looked at Zeng Tongxiu was now somewhat different from before.

Zeng Tongxiu noticed the change in everyone's gaze and was extremely annoyed. This Lin Chen guy, isn't he just making enemies for himself and the Twin Dragons Sect for no reason?

Zeng Tongxiu really wanted to explain a few more words, but then he thought that if he explained again and again, wouldn't that be showing weakness?
Fine, let them believe it if they want.

Anyway, the Twin Dragons Sect isn't afraid of anyone!

Zeng Tongxiu remained silent until everyone's attention had shifted away from him, then he lowered his voice and said, "You're quite adept at using flattery to kill someone."

Lin Chen blinked: "Just telling the truth."

They're still putting on an act at this point!

Zeng Tongxiu finally couldn't contain his anger and said in a low voice, "I admit I lost to you in the previous contest. Now let's have another contest while we refine pills!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "We're in the same group, and we're competing anyway. Do we really need to make this point?"

Zeng Tongxiu was speechless again, and after two seconds of silence, he said, "Good luck, I hope you can make it into the top 32."

Lin Chen stared into Zeng Tongxiu's eyes and smiled slightly: "Are you waiting for a chance to defeat me with your own hands?"

Zeng Tongxiu was surprised that Lin Chen had seen through his thoughts so directly, and said in a deep voice, "I just want to have another match with you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'll try my best."

Zeng Tongxiu opened his mouth, but then closed it again, because he didn't know what to say.

Lin Chen seemed to be answering him sincerely with every word, but it was as if every word carried a knife that pierced his heart.

The seemingly ordinary conversation left him feeling incredibly stifled.

Forget about him for now, advancing is the most important thing!

Zeng Tongxiu composed himself and stopped speaking.

Soon, the second group's match began.

Zeng Tongxiu focused his mind and began refining pills. Soon, the first pill was completed.

The quality must be at least top grade!

Zeng Tongxiu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the name of the second pill on the question board in front of him, and then his gaze swept to his right. Lin Chen was refining pills, looking completely focused and undistracted.

Zeng Tongxiu's lips curled up slightly, and he was about to look away when his gaze swept over the plate to Lin Chen's left, and his eyes suddenly froze.

In the porcelain dish, a red pill lay quietly, its red color like a sharp blade, stinging Zeng Tongxiu's eyes.

Zeng Tongxiu's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and a sense of unprecedented shock and disbelief welled up in his heart.

Lin Chen has actually finished refining the first pill and has already started refining the second one?
He's actually faster than me?
The red pills had a uniform color, and just by looking at their appearance, one could tell that their quality was not low, clearly meeting the assessment standards.

Zeng Tongxiu's face darkened, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

Although the first pill wasn't of a very high grade, it was still a genuine elixir, something that an ordinary alchemist could never successfully refine.

This guy really knows how to refine pills, and he's pretty good at it!
A surge of pride welled up in Zeng Tongxiu's chest. He took a deep breath, quickly focused his attention, and began refining the second type of elixir.

I was worried you were too weak and that I wouldn't feel a sense of accomplishment if I won. Now, I'm going to beat you fair and square, and show you that there are always people more capable than you. Even if you can refine pills, you are nothing in front of me, Zeng Tongxiu!

Zeng Tongxiu sped up the refining process, and soon the second pill was successfully produced.

Zeng Tongxiu subconsciously looked up in Lin Chen's direction, and sure enough, as expected, there were two pills in the plate in front of Lin Chen.

Zeng Tongxiu's face darkened, and he quickly began refining the third pill.

……

"time up!"

Zeng Tongxiu stopped and looked ahead.

Lin Chen looked slightly regretful as he extinguished the alchemy furnace, from which a wisp of green smoke rose.

There's only a quarter of an hour left before this batch is successfully refined. However, in the competition, even a second's difference is unacceptable.

Zeng Tongxiu's gaze fell on the porcelain plate in front of Lin Chen, where five pills of different colors lay quietly.

He glanced down at the porcelain plate in front of him; it contained five pills, and their quality was almost identical.

Zeng Tongxiu glanced at the others, his expression relaxing slightly, but when he looked at Lin Chen, his gaze became more gloomy.

I and Lin Chen have no problem advancing to the top eight, but in terms of speed, I'm actually lagging behind Lin Chen by quite a bit!
Lin Chen's sixth pill was almost finished, estimated to be about a quarter of an hour away from completion, while his own sixth pill had only just begun to be refined, and it would take at least two quarters of an hour to complete successfully!

Despite producing pills of similar quality, he found himself lagging behind.

He was completely crushed by Lin Chen!
