Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

Chapter 247 Is there anything wrong with being mediocre?
The auditorium of the huge Alchemist Conference was already bustling with spectators, and the Alchemists who signed up in the center of the venue were all ready.

A voluptuous blonde woman stood on the towering stage. Her hot figure attracted the coveted eyes of many men. She was none other than Mitel Yafei, a member of Mitel Auction House.

"It's almost time"

Yafei raised her head and glanced at the bright sun, then glanced at the auditorium where all the important people were.

Royal Family, Mitel Family, Nalan Family, Alchemist Guild
After confirming that all the important people were present one by one, Yafei took a breath, then spread her arms, and the charming voice spread through the loudspeaker stone to every corner of the venue.

"Welcome, audience, to visit the th Alchemist Conference of the Gama Empire! I am the host of this competition, Mitel Yafei!"

As soon as Yafei finished speaking, the audience burst into roaring applause. Mu Zhan, who was leading soldiers on patrol at the edge of the venue, waved to Yafei excitedly.

"Ya Fei! Ya Fei! I'm here! Have you seen me?!!"

Although Mu Zhan's call was so earnest, his voice was drowned out by the cheers from the audience as soon as he came out, and Ya Fei didn't even notice him at all.

Even so, Mu Zhan still waved his hands happily, with excitement written all over his face, and kept calling Ya Fei's name.

The soldiers behind him looked a little ashamed when they saw this scene.

Although they had long heard that the Mu family master was pursuing Concubine Ya from Miter Auction House, why did they feel that Mu Zhan behaved so humbly?

Yafei, who was on the host stage, felt the rhythm in the audience and spoke again at the right time.

"Then before the conference begins, please allow me to introduce all the guests who have come specially to watch this competition!"

Ya Fei said and stretched her hand towards the auditorium where Nalan Jie was.

"First of all, the representative of the honor and dignity of the Gama Empire, the Lion-Hearted Marshal who is loved by all the people, Old General Nalan Jie!"

As Ya Fei finished introducing Nalan Jie, the cheers and applause from the audience became even more enthusiastic. It could be described as deafening, which was enough to show how popular Nalan Jie was in the Jia Ma Empire.

Nalan Jie also stood in front of the railing, and calmly raised his hand to express the enthusiasm of the audience. The little medical fairy behind him saw the back of Nalan Jie who was getting so many cheers, and couldn't help but raised his eyebrows and looked sideways. Xiang Nalan Yanran.

"Your grandpa is really popular."

"Of course~ Do you think Marshal Lionheart is calling for nothing?"

Hearing the little medical fairy's praise, Nalan Yanran puffed up her chest proudly.

At this time Yafei's voice sounded again.

"Then next is the co-organizer of this conference, the patriarch of the Mittel family, Mittel Tengshan!"

Upon hearing his granddaughter's name being called, Tengshan stood up in the audience and nodded slightly, then sat down silently.

Obviously, although there were still applause and cheers after Yafei's introduction, it was really far behind Nalan Jie. From this, it can be seen that compared with Nalan Jie, Tengshan is not as good as Gama. There is quite a gap in the reputation of the Holy City.

"The next one is the organizer of this alchemist conference. He is a respected authority in the alchemy arts of the Jiama Empire. He is also the president of the Alchemist Guild of Jiama Holy City, Lord Fa Ma, who has been kind to the Alchemist King Furukawa! "

This time, compared to the audience, the alchemists at the venue had eager eyes, looking at Fa Ma in the audience with reverence.

That is the real President Fa Ma!If you can perform well in this competition and get noticed by him, maybe you will be the next Alchemy King!How can you not be excited? !

Yafei grasped the rhythm and began to introduce the last important guest.

"The last person I want to introduce solemnly is the royal guardian of the Jia Ma Empire. The hero who protects the Jia Ma Empire with absolute power and strength without losing compassion, Mr. Jia Xingtian!!!"

The moment Yafei's words fell, the audience burst into roaring applause and extremely enthusiastic cheers, several times more enthusiastic than Nalan Jie's!
Feeling the adoring eyes of these citizens looking at him, the eyes that regarded him as a hero, Jia Xingtian couldn't help but tremble in his heart and smiled bitterly.

He is really not worthy of the expectations of the people now.
Let these citizens know what he did from beginning to end in the Snake Tribe incident. I am afraid that no one is willing to believe that that person who is timid and hesitant is their hero.

Regarding his performance in the Snake Tribe incident, Jia Xingtian feels shameless when he thinks back to it now. Even if he goes back to that time, he might still do that.

As the years passed by, Jia Xingtian was weighed down by the heavy burdens on his shoulders, and he became less and less like himself.

Only at the end, when he rushed into the strange fire to save Xiao Yan, did Jiaxingtian truly regain his former self and transform back into the brave, fearless, heroic and heroic person he once was, the true leader of the Jiama Empire. hero!
Jia Xingtian gently dismissed the random thoughts in his mind, turned his head slightly and looked at Hai Bodong with a chuckle.

"Hey, that girl Yafei doesn't seem to be planning to introduce you. Did she forget?"

"I ordered it in advance, and a bunch of people from the province will criticize my body shape."

Hai Bodong gnawed on the apple with a look of displeasure on his face. If these civilians knew that he was Hai Bodong in public, they would definitely criticize his current body shape.

Although Hai Bodong has accepted his body shape, it does not mean that he can tolerate being discussed about his body shape.

"Hahaha~ It's really tragic."

"Crap!"

Just as Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong were bickering, Ya Fei also turned her attention to the venue.

"Then what I want to introduce next are the three players who are brave enough to take the initiative to stand on the high platform!"

Following Ya Fei's words, the audience turned their attention to Xiao Yan and the three people on the high platform.

That position is quite eye-catching. Without self-confidence and strong character, it is impossible to stand there.

And now the three Xiao Yans standing on the high platform have naturally become the focus of the audience!
"Princess Yaoyue, who belongs to the Gama royal family and has successfully passed the third-level alchemist exam at the age of only 14!"

"Liu Ling, the genius alchemist who was accepted as an apprentice by the Alchemy King Gu He at a young age!"

"The new alchemist competing in the name of the Miter family, Xiao Yan!"

When Yafei introduced Yaoyue and Liu Ling, the audience burst into loud and warm applause. But when Yafei introduced Xiao Yan, a trace of doubt flashed in the minds of many viewers.

Isn't this Xiao Yan Nalan Yanran's fiancé?Why compete on behalf of the Mittel family?
But after all, they are ordinary people who don't think deeply about this kind of problem. Immediately afterwards, they burst into applause that was even warmer than that of Yaoyue and Liu Ling.

After all, Xiao Yan spent this week running around the Holy City of Jiama day and night in order to save the aborigines of Chisha City. The audience saw this and there was no reason not to be enthusiastic about Xiao Yan.

Ya Fei looked at Xiao Yan on the high platform, a smile flashed in her eyebrows, and she stretched out her arms towards Fa Ma.

"Then next, let us ask President Fa Ma to give a speech to all the alchemists participating in the competition."

Fa Ma stood up from his seat and scanned the contestants on the field with his old eyes.

Then he slowly raised his hand and said something calmly.

"The road ahead for an alchemist is very difficult, even more ups and downs than cultivation, and requires more effort and talent."

"I sincerely hope that you can achieve your best results in this competition and prove your worth as an alchemist to everyone."

"I will try my best to not let myself have any regrets in this competition."

Fa Ma said this, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yan.

Fa Ma knew in his heart that Xiao Yan was the protagonist appointed by Jia Xing Tian to be the protagonist of this alchemist conference.All the contestants participating in the Alchemist Conference this time, including Yaoyue, are Xiao Yan's foils.

He must be a very important part of Jia Xingtian's plan.

This Xiao Yan is only or years old, but it is incredible that Jia Xingtian can trust him so much.

Fa Ma thought like this and slowly closed his eyes.

But for now, let’s focus on the game.

Immediately, Fa Ma suddenly opened his eyes, eyes sparkling with light, and suddenly waved his hand and announced loudly.

"I announce! The th Alchemist Conference of the Jiama Empire! Officially begins!!!"

As soon as Fa Ma's roar ended, hundreds of black crystals fell on the stone table in front of the alchemist. At the same time, a huge hourglass appeared in the air. When everyone was confused, Ya Fei's voice came out. into everyone's ears.

"The first competition event of the Alchemist Conference is called refining."

"All alchemists are requested to successfully refine the black crystal within the specified time. Contestants who fail to successfully refine the black crystal within the specified time will be eliminated."

"Then, all contestants, please start refining your hands immediately."

As Yafei's voice fell, the huge hourglass in mid-air flipped over and overturned. The falling sand in the hourglass meant that time began to pass.

"The game is on!"

"Hurry up and refine it!"

"This championship must be mine!"

Listening to the words of many alchemists in the audience, Liu Ling on the stage shook her head lightly, with a little contempt in her heart.

If you don't even have the courage to stand on a high platform and bear the pressure, how can you be a champion?
You must know that whether you are cultivating or refining medicine, your character is an indispensable part. People who cannot bear the pressure will not be able to go very far, whether they are cultivating or refining medicine.

The self-motivation of many alchemists in the audience is more of a forced self-affirmation when they know that they are not good.

"No matter what industry you are in, there are mediocre people who overestimate their abilities." Liu Ling raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked sideways at Xiao Yan, "Don't you think so?"

"Eh? Are you asking me?"

Xiao Yan, who was holding the black crystal and preparing to refine it, was stunned when he heard Liu Ling's question, and then responded with a smile.

"Mediocrity, what's wrong with it?"

"Forehead"

Xiao Yan's answer made Liu Ling suddenly confused, and Yaoyue on the other side also looked over.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, put the black crystal into the medicine cauldron and said slowly while making preparations.

"In this world, mediocrity is the norm for most people, and it is the most obvious people. Those of us who are not mediocre are the outliers and are lucky."

"But even mediocre people have their own goals and the happiness they pursue just like us."

"Although I occasionally feel sorry for myself and complain about others, I still try to accept my mediocrity and strive to pursue my own happiness. In my opinion, I am far more powerful than those pretentious and strong people."

"Perhaps in Brother Liu Ling's view, they are overestimating their capabilities, but what I see in my eyes is that they are unwilling to accept their fate."

"Our excellence is indeed due to hard work."

"But, is it really just that?"

"If we have the same talents, the same family background, the same education, and the same opportunities as those mediocre people, in this case, even if we try our best, can we guarantee that we will not be as mediocre as them? ?”

Xiao Yan said this and looked at Liu Ling with a smile.

"Brother Liu Ling, Rong Xiao asks you a question. Can you willingly accept your own mediocrity?"

"."

Liu Ling fell silent and looked at Xiao Yan blankly.

Accept mediocrity?How could I possibly accept mediocrity?Why should I accept mediocrity?
My talents and opportunities prevent me from being mediocre!
Liu Ling thought this in her heart, and then suddenly froze.

What if I don't have these?

Liu Ling stared blankly at the alchemists in the audience who had different expressions but were all attentive.

Without these, I would probably be just like them, just mediocre.

effort?

Who doesn't work hard?
Can I really pat my chest and guarantee that none of the alchemists in the audience, whom I regard as mediocre people, work harder than me?

"Brother Liu Ling."

Xiao Yan's soft call brought Liu Ling back to her senses, and then Xiao Yan pointed to the hourglass that was already halfway in the air in Liu Ling's blank gaze, with a little apology in his eyes.

"I'm sorry that what I just said disturbed your thoughts. Please focus on the game now." Xiao Yan said, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, "But we are all extraordinary people, even if we only have half the time left, , it’s no problem for us, right?”

"We should be worthy of our mediocrity."

Liu Ling looked at Xiao Yan blankly, then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile.

"You're right." Liu Ling threw the black crystal in his hand into the medicine cauldron, his eyes flashing with dazzling light, "You must be worthy of my mediocrity!"

Looking at Liu Ling, whose whole body seemed to have changed, Xiao Yan smiled softly, turned his eyes to the Xuanyun Cauldron in front of him, ignited the Qinglian Earth Core Fire in his hands, and began to concentrate on refining the black crystals in the medicinal cauldron.

Different fire? !
Seeing the flames igniting in Xiao Yan's medicine cauldron, Yaoyue and Liu Ling were both shocked.

Immediately, Liu Ling showed up and smiled bitterly.

After all, you are the least mediocre one among the three of us.

Yaoyue also began to refine the black crystal in front of her, but part of her thoughts kept thinking about Xiao Yan's words just now, lingering in her mind.

I thought that Xiao Yan was too high-ranking to let Xiao Yan join the royal family.

But now it seems that the opposite may be true.

Xiao Yan's perception is that he is more like the royal family than the royal family.
