Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

"Dear alchemists, please wait a moment... The results will be announced soon. In the meantime, let us enjoy the wonderful performances that follow!" the host shouted. His voice, like a spring breeze, spread throughout the square, drawing everyone's gaze towards the stage, anticipating the upcoming spectacle.

Melodious music swelled, and the stage curtain slowly opened. A dancer, clad in gorgeous attire, emerged, floating like a fairy. Her posture was graceful and lithe, her movements smooth and natural. Every turn and leap was imbued with power and beauty, drawing cheers from the audience. The dancer's lead lifted the atmosphere, and the atmosphere in the room gradually heated up.

"Brother Ziyu, she's from the Peacock Clan," Long Jiu said softly to Lin Ziyu, a hint of barely perceptible contempt in his voice. "She's just a colorful peacock."

Hearing this, Lin Ziyu looked at Long Jiu curiously, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "You don't seem to like her very much?"

Long Jiu said, "Well, she wants to marry my brother." Her voice was full of dissatisfaction. However, as soon as she said it, she realized that she had said something wrong and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, looking at Lin Ziyu with panic in her eyes.

"Brother Ziyu, please pretend you didn't hear it, okay?" There was a flattering tone in Long Jiu's voice, and her eyes were shining with pleading.

Lin Ziyu smiled slightly and turned to look at the square.

The dancing in the square had ended, and the results of the Level 1 to 3 Alchemist Competition were announced.

"Today, a total of 1,257 people participated in the first to third level alchemy competition. 517 alchemists successfully completed the refining of first-level pills. The first to tenth place winners are: Gao Shuo, Bai Xingyan, Lang Yutong, He Ruoxi, Jia Yuepeng, Hu Yichen, Kong Mingming, She Yuyu, Lu Lili, and Tu Yaoyao. We congratulate the top ten first-level alchemists. The remaining rankings will be posted at the entrance of the square later."

"Sister, my name is on it! I'm a first-level alchemist. I'm so happy to be ranked seventh!" A young voice excitedly shouted, his face beaming with joy and pride. His sister was equally pleased, smiling and saying, "That's great, brother! This is the result of your hard work. Keep it up!"

Another person excitedly shouted, "I'm a first-level alchemist! Haha! I'm ninth." He danced with joy, and people around him congratulated him. He gratefully accepted everyone's blessings and promised to continue working hard to improve his skills.

People nearby also joined in the celebration, congratulating and encouraging each other. The scene was filled with a joyful and festive atmosphere. Everyone was proud and satisfied with their own achievements and those of others.

In this world, becoming a first-level alchemist means they have mastered basic alchemy techniques and can refine simple pills. Although it is only level one, for these young people, it is an important step on their path to alchemy. They will continue to study and practice hard, pursuing higher levels of alchemy.

Those who didn't hear their names called weren't discouraged. They knew this exam was just the beginning, and there were many more opportunities waiting for them. They silently encouraged themselves, determined to pass the exam next time and become qualified alchemists.

Some also went to see the list of first-level alchemists posted at the entrance of the square.

"Four hundred and nine alchemists have successfully refined a second-level elixir. The top ten are: Xingyueluo, Du Luyan, Yang Xinxin, Kedudu, Song Yingxing, Hu Yiyi, Hainan Nan, Yu Duoduo, Dong Lengleng, and Kong Yanyan. Congratulations to the top ten second-level alchemists. The rest of the rankings will be posted at the entrance of the plaza later."

"Dudu, you are ranked fourth and you are now a second-level alchemist." Dudu's family said happily.

"My son Duoduo is ranked eighth." Yu Duoduo's father said with a smile.

"Good...good! Yueluo is the first among the second-level alchemists. Haha..." said Xingyueluo's grandfather.

There were congratulations and cheers all around.

These sounds surged towards the two of them like waves, filling them with endless joy and pride. Their faces were filled with brilliant smiles, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

People around them congratulated them, some patted their shoulders, and some gave them sincere blessings. This scene made them feel extremely warm, as if the whole world was cheering for them.

"There are one hundred and forty-five alchemists who have successfully refined third-level elixirs. First place is Lin Ziyu, second place is Hai Yueyao, third place is Chu Yuan, fourth place is Xun Siqing, fifth place is Lan Xinning, sixth place is Lu Siya, seventh place is Zhou Nanchen, eighth place is Luo Linxi...fifteenth place is Bai Jianxian...seventy-first place is Gu Siqi...and one hundred and forty-fifth place is Mo Jiejie. Those who obtain the third-level alchemist certificate can participate in the subsequent fourth to sixth-level alchemist assessment competitions."

When the host announced that the first place was Lin Ziyu, Chu Yuan looked over with surprise. Lin Ziyu felt this gaze, but did not care too much.

At this time, Long Jiu cheered excitedly: "Wow, Brother Ziyu, you are the first place! That's amazing!" Her face was filled with joy, and her eyes were shining with admiration and worship for Lin Ziyu.

At the same time, Lan Xinning walked over with a smile and congratulated Lin Ziyu. "Congratulations, Junior Lin." His voice was gentle and sincere, bringing a warm feeling to everyone. Other students from the same college also came forward to express their blessings and admiration for Lin Ziyu. Their words were filled with recognition and praise for Lin Ziyu's strength.

"Congratulations to all the seniors on obtaining the Level 3 Alchemist Certificate." Lin Ziyu responded with a smile on his face and a cheerful tone.

"Haha, congratulations!" Everyone laughed.

At this time, Lan Xinning walked over, looked at Lin Ziyu and asked with a smile: "Brother Lin, are you going to challenge the next level 4 alchemist certificate?"

Lin Ziyu nodded slightly, a hint of determination and confidence flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Well, I want to try."

However, he did not specify which level of competition he would participate in, but simply expressed his desire to try the challenge.

"Please enter the Level 4 to 6 Alchemist Competition. The rules are that the medicinal materials for refining are randomly distributed, and the time limit is five hours."

Hearing the invitation to attend, Lin Ziyu nodded to Lan Xinning and the others, then asked, "Senior Lan, do you want to join?"

Lan Xinning answered without hesitation: "Of course! Let's go in together." His voice was firm and decisive, as if he was fully prepared.

As the crowd surged, Lin Ziyu and Lan Xinning entered the venue together. Their steps were steady, their eyes firm, radiating confidence and determination. After entering the venue, Lin Ziyu stood in line with the Level 6 Alchemist competition, quietly awaiting the start of the competition.
