The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1514 What do you mean by this reaction?!

"Ladies and gentlemen, now entering the arena are the top eight contestants of the Pill King Competition. They will engage in fierce competition to determine who is the true Pill King of this year!"

"The rules for this round of the competition are very simple. The eight participants are divided into four groups. They will all take the same test and start at the same time. The winner will be determined by the quality of the pills they produce. If the quality of the pills cannot be determined, the time taken to refine them will be the deciding factor. Whoever finishes in the shortest time wins!"

"In this round, four contestants will qualify for the next round, and four contestants will be eliminated."

"Please have the eight participants draw lots."

Lin Chen and eight others drew lots in turn to be paired up for the competition.

Lin Chen drew number three. While he was looking at his own number, Zeng Tongxiu across from him had already shown his own number.

Number Five!

Lin Chen was matched with number four, and missed out on Zeng Tongxiu.

Zeng Tongxiu glanced at Lin Chen's number three, his eyes showing slight disappointment. He hoped to draw Lin Chen as soon as possible; otherwise, if Lin Chen was defeated by someone else, wouldn't his hopes be dashed?

"The challenge for this round of the competition is to refine a Five Desires Pill."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. The Five Desires Pill is a mainstream pill, and the materials are not scarce, but the technique required is very high. This kind of pill is his main option for practice, after all, the skill of the technique is the most important.

Not much pressure!

Lin Chen's opponent is Zhou Ping, an elder of the Fire Thunder Sect from the White Moon Dynasty, who is also the peak master of the Fire Thunder Sect's Dan Peak.

Zhou Ping looked at Lin Chen with a slightly puzzled expression.

The White Crane Immortal Sect is not good at alchemy, nor does it have any alchemy masters. How did a young master with such a high level of skill suddenly appear?

There's not much to say about the competition; as soon as the competition started, Zhou Ping quickly began his preparations.

This time, each pair of players could see each other and operate face-to-face, which undoubtedly added a lot of tension to the atmosphere.

Lin Chen didn't even look at the opponent; he was focused solely on his gameplay, completely absorbed.

Lin Chen's movements weren't particularly fast, but each one was incredibly skillful, flowing smoothly without any hesitation, making it a pleasure to watch.

One by one, the medicinal herbs were refined into juice. Once all the preparations were complete, Lin Chen began refining pills without any pause.

As time passed, the Five Desires Elixir was gradually completed.

It's incredibly easy!

"boom!"

Lin Chen slapped the alchemy furnace, causing the alchemical fire to vibrate. The furnace lid flew off, and a dark red Five Desires Pill flew out of the furnace, landing on a plate with a crisp sound.

Zhou Ping, who was refining pills, was attracted by the sound. He subconsciously looked up and found that Lin Chen opposite him had already finished refining pills. He couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

In that moment of distraction, the flames in the alchemy furnace became chaotic.

Zhou Ping was taken aback and quickly composed himself to stabilize the flames. Even so, a faint burnt smell wafted from the chaotic flames.

Zhou Ping's expression suddenly turned quite ugly. He knew that in that brief moment of distraction, the quality of the pills he had refined had decreased by one point. And that slight difference in quality would determine the outcome of this duel.

Zhou calmed himself down and completed the refining process.

The dark red Five Desires Pill has a uniform color, but its only flaw is a small black line in the middle.

Zhou Ping sighed inwardly. He was so old, yet his mentality in the competition was not as good as that of a young man.

Ultimately, I was too concerned with gains and losses.

competition is over.

Lin Chen wins!

Zhou Ping cupped his hands in apology: "I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. You are a formidable young man!"

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kind offer!"

On the other side, Zeng Tongxiu also defeated his opponent. He looked at Lin Chen with surprise in his eyes.

Lin Chen actually won too!
Is he really that good?
The result was already in front of him, and Zeng Tongxiu didn't think too much about it. He was just thinking that the next stage was the semi-finals, and the probability of the two of them meeting was already one-third!
Zeng Tongxiu hoped to meet Lin Chen. They were already in the semifinals. If they didn't meet again, would they have to go to the finals?

Zeng Tongxiu's expectations were fulfilled early the next morning.

"Zeng Tongxiu, number one!"

"Lin Chen, number two!"

Zeng Tongxiu turned his head and saw Lin Chen looking at him as well; their eyes met in mid-air.

Lin Chen smiled and waved, looking very relaxed.

Lin Chen's actions provoked Zeng Tongxiu: "Are you that confident?"
Now it's your turn to duel with me!
With that same expression, aren't you afraid of losing to me?
Or do you think you can win?
Soon, the two stood face to face. The competition mode was the same as the previous round: the same pills. Whoever had better quality pills would win. If the quality was indistinguishable, then whoever had less time would win!
Zeng Tongxiu looked at Lin Chen's calm face and said in a deep voice, "Although I said it before, I still want to say it again now: I will definitely beat you!"

"it is good!"

Lin Chen casually agreed, looked up at Zeng Tongxiu's serious expression, and chuckled, "It's not that serious, it's not that serious, just smile."

Zeng Tongxiu was completely overwhelmed by Lin Chen's words.

I'm saying I'm going to beat you!

This is your reaction?

What do you mean?

Lin Chen smiled slightly, looking calmly at Zeng Tongxiu, who seemed about to explode.

What do you mean?
I don't mean it!

Just do it and it’s done!
