Shock! How could the useless Second Miss be a spiritual god?

Ever since Master He Yiming sent out the invitation to the alchemy competition, except for the sect masters and some people who really could not come, many other prominent forces that received the invitation have sent people over.

These past few days, Yaohui City has been several times more lively than ever before, as if the entire city has been ignited with sparks of passion.

Today is the day when the alchemy competition between Master He Yiming and Ling Ye begins, and everyone is eager to find out.

Is Master He, the continent's number one alchemist, more powerful, or is Ling Ye, who has recently become famous, better?

At this time, the venue of the Alchemy Guild was ready. It was said that this venue could accommodate 10,000 people. The competition platform was suspended in the air, like a mysterious castle in the sky. The high walls were hidden by a special formation, making the entire competition platform transparent.

In this way, the people in the city will be able to see the entire scene on the competition stage without any obstruction.

Now, people from various sects and forces on the continent have taken their seats, and the unoccupied places in the venue are almost all surrounded by people, while the outside of the venue is surrounded by enthusiastic people, forming an impenetrable human wall.

"Why hasn't Ling Ye come yet?"

Lin Ze, the disciple who came with Elder Liu, frowned and couldn't help but asked to himself, "What's going on?"

"I guess he's afraid. After all, Master He is the number one alchemist on the continent."

"I think so too. Ling Ye is just a rising star. He probably hasn't even seen such a scene before."

One of them laughed contemptuously.

"Humph, I don't care about Ling Ye or not. Anyway, I only recognize the elixir of Master He Yiming."

"From the looks of it, Ling Ye doesn't seem like a very powerful person."

For a moment, all the major forces below the stage were whispering and discussing the matter.

Various sounds came one after another, and the scene was noisy.

……

However, He Yiming, who was sitting in the main seat, looked increasingly gloomy.

This Ling Ye really didn't know the rules. It was already this late, but there was no sign of him. He dared to make the continent's number one alchemist wait for him.

This is simply unreasonable!

He Yiming secretly swore in his heart that if Ling Ye didn't give a reasonable explanation, he would never let him go.

A gloomy look flashed across He Yiming's eyes, and when he was about to ask Yu Zenian to catch the man, suddenly, a figure swiftly passed through the crowd and stood steadily on the competition stage in the blink of an eye.

The man was wearing a black robe and an exquisite silver mask that covered most of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes as deep as stars and a graceful chin.

Although his specific face cannot be seen clearly, he gives people a mysterious feeling, which makes people feel endless curiosity and imagination about him.

The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent. They stared at the man in black on the stage with wide eyes and incredulity, their hearts filled with astonishment and confusion. Could this man be the legendary Ling Ye?

Everyone was talking about it, speculating on the identity of the man in black. Some said he might be a peerless master, while others said he might be from a hidden family.

Some even think that he might be a charlatan who wants to gain a good reputation here to cheat people out of money.

In a large force in the southeast direction, the leading man looked at the man in black on the stage with doubt in his eyes.

He felt that this figure was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. However, he could feel that this Ling Ye was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ye Chun, who had changed his appearance, took Qingge and Chu Yueyao and moved back and forth in the crowd, and finally successfully squeezed next to Tang Qi, who came on behalf of the head of the Tang family.

Someone from Qingyun Sect also came, and it happened to be Elder Cheng from Dan Valley. He stared at the man in black on the stage, and always felt as if he had seen him before, a feeling of déjà vu, extremely familiar.

"Are you Ling Ye? You are so arrogant that so many people are waiting for you."

He Yiming raised his head slightly and stared at Huo Ling'er coldly, his eyes seemed to see through her.

"I don't dare, I don't dare! You are too kind! When it comes to being arrogant, I can't compare to the disciples of the Alchemy Guild."

"I can't compare to you, Master He. I'm just a junior. Do I deserve Master He to challenge me to a duel?" Huo Ling'er said without showing any weakness.

"You said you would beat me to death if I didn't accept it. I'm very afraid of death, so I had no choice but to accept your post."

When Huo Ling'er spoke, she had some bad intentions and deliberately said nonsense in the last sentence.

As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd below immediately exploded.

This Alchemy Challenge is the highest level of competition among alchemists, and it calls on people from all over the world to be witnesses.

Alchemists are all proud. For the loser, it is not just a simple loss of face. If they admit that their opponent is stronger than themselves, it would be a slap in the face.

Before Ling Ye spoke, everyone thought that Ling Ye had taken it voluntarily.

I didn't expect that it was the Alchemy Guild that forced people to accept the invitation to the Alchemy Competition.

Could it be that he is afraid that Ling Ye will grow up to be stronger than Master He Yiming?

Many people looked at Master He with meaningful eyes.

"That's complete nonsense!"

He Yiming was furious when he saw this. He stood up, pointed at Huo Ling'er and said, "Our Alchemy Guild has always been fair and just. We would never force anyone. What is your purpose in slandering us like this?"

"How could my Alchemy Guild force you? When did we force you?"

An elder next to Master He also stood up angrily. He looked at Huo Ling'er with anger in his eyes.

"It's obvious that you accepted this task willingly!"

"That's right. You obviously accepted it voluntarily. Don't lie."

The disciples who had gone there together at the beginning all echoed this, and they were all so angry that they gnashed their teeth and yelled at Huo Ling'er.

Faced with everyone's accusations, Huo Ling'er did not panic. She just sighed softly and shook her head.

"Alas, your Alchemy Guild is a big company, so naturally what you say is what it is. If you say that I volunteered to do this, then I volunteered to do it."

After saying that, she sighed again, as if she was helpless and a little aggrieved.

She lowered her head slightly, which made everyone feel pity for her. Suddenly, everyone present began to doubt whether the Alchemy Guild had really forced Huo Linger.

Huo Linger looked up after a moment and said, "However, since I have already agreed to the alchemy competition, I will naturally come here.

I just hope you can keep your promise and not deny it in the end."

These words made everyone feel sympathy for Huo Ling'er, and they felt that she was badly bullied by the Alchemy Guild.

Everyone's attitude towards He Yiming suddenly changed, and their originally respectful looks became somewhat questioning and disdainful.

"you you……"

"Don't talk about me, Master He. My time is very precious. Don't you think I'm late? How can you still have time to talk nonsense here?"

Huo Linger sneered and looked at He Yiming who was sitting in the main seat with a joking look.

"Okay, okay, in that case, let's get started."

He Yiming's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and his original sage-like appearance was long gone.

Everyone immediately sat up straight, ready to watch the two men's formal alchemy competition.

However, Master He was still sitting in the main seat without moving, and let his disciple Yu Zenian go on stage.

"Master He, are you not going to take action yourself?" someone speculated.

"To deal with an unknown person like Ling Ye, there is no need for Master He to take action personally. I think his apprentice can crush Ling Ye."
