Chapter 727
Right then, many of them began showing signs of poisoning. Some felt dizzy, and others experienced severe abdominal pain. Some even had cramps.
Although their symptoms were different, it would affect their production of the medicinal pill. But giving up was not an option. They could only grit their teeth and continue.
“Who do you think will be number one today, Dr. Watkins?” an elder with a white beard asked.
“Preston and Miranda are performing well and gifted in the medical field, so they are considered geniuses. But I think the young man will do better.” Linden looked at Dustin.
“Him?” The elder followed and looked at Dustin too
Then, he asked, curious, “But Dr. Watkins, he’s a nobody. Maybe he was lucky in the previous round. He’s still not on the same level as Preston and Miranda.”
No matter their family background, talents, or medical accomplishments, they were not on the same level. And Dustin’s good luck would not change anything.
“Hahaha… We’ll find out soon enough.” Linden smiled and said nothing else. He sat and watched. He refused to believe that someone who could see through his plans was just a nobody.
“Bang!” After a moment, an explosion was heard in the hall.
A man’s alchemy furnace burst when he made a mistake. The hot liquid, burning charcoal, and
furnace fragments splattered all over his face.
“Ah!” The man screamed in pain as he clutched his burned face.
“Somebody bring him away!” The invigilator waved his hand, and several members of the Stoneray Order moved to help the man.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
As the first person was carried away, several others had their furnaces explode as well. They had burned faces and were carried out too.
Some made mistakes because of the poison’s effects and the pressure they were under to save themselves. Some burnt their pills, some could not solidify their pills, and some of their furnaces
exploded
The number of people who were eliminated increased quickly.
“Done!” When there were still 30 minutes left, Preston shouted as he showed the crowd the red pill
he had taken from the furnace.
The invigilator walked to Preston and looked at his pill. Then he praised. “Not bad, you have indeed produced a Curax And it is a good quality one!”
“A good quality Curax? That’s amazing!”
“As expected of Dr. Darby’s best student! Impressive!”
