Chapter 285

Pressure
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

You XiaoMo plucked the dark green magic pill that flew out of the cauldron from the air. There was excitement and pleasant surprise expressed on his face. Truth to be told, he did not have much confidence in refining a successful Bone Growth Pill before he had started.

You XiaoMo had tried to refine the Bone Growth Pill before the competition, but his chances of success were not high. Thus, he had a hint of apprehension in his heart when he was refining the Bone Growth Pill this time.

If he failed, he could only resort to the next best thing, which was to refine a low-grade magic pill. He could also refine a mid-grade magic pill, but there may not be enough time to complete the pill. Fortunately, he had finally succeeded in refining the Bone Growth Pill.

As his station was near the rear, he had to wait for his turn to arrive to submit his pill for assessment.

You XiaoMo held his magic pill out and eagerly waved his hand at Ling Xiao below, with excitement etched on his face.

Ling Xiao evilly mimed a biting action in his direction. The former immediately retracted his hand when he saw that, and he schooled his face to display solemnness and fixed his gaze to wait for his assessment.

BaiLi XiaoYu and Jiang XiaoFeng who had seen this exchange snickered. Tong YueXu and Teng ZiXin were at stations that were in front of You XiaoMo, so it was not long before their turn came.

As Tong YueXu and the nine other participants walked up together, almost all the eyes of the spectators were upon him. His speed of jumping from a level four mage to a level six mage in nearly a year could be compared to You XiaoMo. Although forcibly raising one’s foundation was not advisable, everyone was still quite curious about his score.

“Put your pills inside the apparatus.” The Fifth Elder said as he indicated to them.

Tong YueXu was the first to walk up once the instruction was given. He respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to the Fifth Elder before putting the pill he had refined inside.

A highly-concentrated beam of purple light instantly burst out. The Fifth Elder looked at it and immediately announced, “Low-grade level six magic pill, with a high-grade quality. The total is four points.”

At once, gazes of envy fell onto Tong YueXu. As he had refined a low-grade magic pill, it only got him one point, but the quality of his magic pill was high-grade, which got him a high score of three points.

Although the pills of the other participants were mid and high-grade level six pills, the quality of most of the pills was low to mid-grade. Therefore their total score was lower.

After that, the participants submitted their pills for assessment one after another. Most got two or three points, and several participants were even eliminated.

After another round, it was finally Teng ZiXin’s turn.

In actual fact, this form of assessment was just a type of formality. Everyone already had an estimation of their score in their hearts. Teng ZiXin also knew the number of points she could get, and there was no excitement on her face.

However, the one in front of her was the Fifth Elder, one of the Eight Giants in the academy. Even she did not dare to offend him. She clasped her hands and greeted in in a respectful voice, “Student Teng ZiXin offers greetings to Fifth Elder!”

The Fifth Elder signaled for her to put her pill inside. Teng ZiXin took out her pill and put and put it into the apparatus.

The Fifth Elder looked at the strong ray of light emitting from the apparatus and gave a slight nod before announcing, “A mid-grade level six magic pill with a high-grade quality, it’s a total of five points.”
