Chapter 438: Second Day of The Pill Master Competition
"Good morning, ladies," Kent greeted, staring at Lady Lani and Nara, who were also doing the same. The night before was shocking; they weren't prepared for that.
Hearing Kent is only 18 years old but has already achieved the 10th Tier in soul cultivation, they did not see that coming.
They most certainly did not see that coming.
It was like the discovery was a giant hammer used to hit their heads.
So Kent took them to their room to ensure they didn't collapse on the ground, and now, staring at him, they could only shake their heads and sigh.
"Is there anything more shocking we should know?" Nara asked.
She thought she knew Kent's most shocking part, but now that she had learned differently, she realized she was wrong.
"Actually, I am also at the Silver Body stage in Body Cultivation," Kent laughed, making the two ladies sigh and shake their heads.
Kent just moved away and prepared for the second day of the competition.
Meanwhile, Lady Lani and Nara could only wonder about many things.
"Just who is this kid?" Lady Lani asked. She looked at Nara. "I never asked how you met him. I met him during the Annual Auction, which I came up with about 50 years ago when you were dead.
He literally made me very rich and ended up offending Evil Bat."
She smiles. Nara just smirked.
"He saved me. He was the one who saved me, but I never expected him to be this monstrous," Nara shook her head.
"I guess worrying about his safety is useless. Someone with a Tier 10 soul strength wouldn't need our help." She sighed, and after a while, they left the hotel and returned to the Pill Tower.
"I will see you ladies later. Just make sure you enjoy the show," Kent said.
"Are you sure you wouldn't show your true nature yet? Many would want to know your true identity," Nara asked, having been made aware by Lady Lani that Kent is the Perfect Alchemist.
"No. Getting challenged is the key here. Showing everyone who I am can wait," Kent answered.
"It's your decision, I guess." They entered, and Kent went to join the 29 remaining contestants. He was the last to arrive, but he wasn't late.
Since many were disqualified yesterday for being late, they all came early today. Kent ignored the hostile glares coming from all 29 contestants.
Some are hostile because, unlike Kent, they are some of the geniuses known in the field of alchemy.

Kent is known for his battle prowess, so for such a figure to be ranking third in the competition so far doesn't sit well with them.
It felt like he was looking down on them, and they hated that.
Kent doesn't care about them. He was more focused on identifying the hostile looks coming from the audience.
'Looks like I will be having trouble on my hands soon,' he sighs in his heart.
⟪The master has shown everyone he is rich and resourceful. And while the master is not aware, this is a cultivation world where greed is the centerpiece of everything.⟫
⟪They want your treasures, and they are willing to kill you for it. And while it is shameful of them, they wouldn't stop until they are all dead or they succeed,⟫ Gaia explained.
'Then I will kill every last one of them. I needed their bodies after all.' He smiled evilly as he felt Annabelle's hostile gaze land on him.
He looked up and met her gaze. Then, like the annoying grinch he is, he smiled at her, making the young lady clench her fist.
⟪The master should be careful, though. Many dangers in this world can't be underestimated. You are strong, but now that your targets aren't dummies,⟫ Gaia advised, and Kent nodded.
He started waiting for another hour before the elder who officiated yesterday's trials appeared.
He led everyone to a stage where a setup comprising a cauldron, ingredients, and a small scroll, possibly containing the pill formula, was set up.
"Welcome, everyone. We will be starting the second day as promised yesterday with a Tier 3 pill. This stage requires you to concoct the Bone Hardening Pill with a minimum purity of 70%.
You have three portions of the ingredients and 3 hours to finish everything. If you don't finish within the three hours, you will automatically be disqualified from the subsequent test.
Also, if your purity is below the 70% stage, you will be disqualified.
You are allowed to use any flame provided you have control over it and can effectively use it. Know that only one cauldron is given, so you can only use your own if you break this.
Additionally, if you don't believe in the cauldron given, you can use yours from the start.
Lastly, I know this is a competition, but you are not allowed to attack your opponent. If you have an issue with them, just challenge them. More tests are coming, and you can use them as the challenge.
Know that you will be disqualified and your pill flame destroyed if you try attacking your opponents." The elder looked at the faces and smiled.
"Sit according to your tags and wait for the start signal."
Kent went and sat behind the third setup in the first row. Annabelle was a few meters on his left, and Lucas was a few meters on his right.
He looked at both of them and smiled.
He wasn't teasing them because he could tell the Saints were paying attention to him. They never knew his soul strength was higher than theirs, so he was keeping his attention on them.
Today, they will show him what they think of him; thus, he will know what to do afterward.
"Remember, you have only 3 hours to concoct the Bone Hardening Pill," the elder said. "Your time starts now."
The moment the elder said that, everyone picked up the scroll and looked at the recipe, and then, as the elder had said, divided the ingredients into three portions.
A few minutes later, pill flames lit up as the concoction began.
