Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
So, Lu Zijia’s furnace exploded repeatedly in the alchemy competition the next day, which disappointed many people who thought that Lu Zijia would definitely win.
However, at the thought that Lu Zijia had already won two competitions, the disappointment in their minds immediately decreased by more than half.
In the end, the Sacred Cloud Academy won the Alchemy Competition.
In the courtyard where the Alchemy Department of Hongtian Academy was assigned to live.
“I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’ve disappointed you.”
Liao Sisi lowered her head and said to Liao Zhenshan, who was sitting in the main seat with a very ugly expression, in shame.
Helian Qiguang also lowered his head, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Even Lu Xue, who was originally full of confidence, felt a bit ashamed that she couldn’t win the competition for the Alchemy Department this time.
“You’ve already performed as you normally would. Don’t blame yourself.”
Even though Liao Zhenshan was furious in his mind, he still cared about his image, so he didn’t flare up in front of outsiders.
“Alright, all of you can leave!” N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on No'v3l--B1n.
Liao Zhenshan held back his anger and waved his hand impatiently.
He had always thought that the Alchemy Department was the most powerful among the six academies. He also thought that only the Alchemy Department could win a spot for the academy in the Four Continents Competition this time.
However, the truth today slapped him hard in the face.
Lu Xue and another alchemist student left. Liao Sisi and Helian Qiguang had something on their minds, so they stayed.
“Master, Lu Zijia’s furnace exploded repeatedly in this competition. She must have done it on purpose!” After the other two students left, Helian Qiguang said impatiently.
Even though Liao Sisi didn’t agree, one could vaguely see a hint of agreement from her expression.
Liao Zhenshan glanced at Helian Qiguang coldly. “How do you know she did it on purpose?”
Because of the conflict between the Alchemy Department, the Weapons
Refinement Department and the Martial Arts Department, Liao Zhenshan and Chen Liqi didn’t participate in the discussion yesterday, so they didn’t know that Kou Sun asked Lu Zijia to deliberately lose today’s alchemy competition.
Helian Qiguang choked at Liao Zhenshan’s question, but he still braced himself and said, “When Lu Zijia was in the academy, she could refine so many Mystic
Golden Core Pills, but the competition today kept exploding. If it wasn’t on purpose, who would believe it?!”
“Grandpa, Lu Zijia really doesn’t know her limits.”
At this moment, Liao Sisi also spoke. “The competition of the four continents concerns the honor of the entire Hongtian Academy. How can she deliberately lose the competition because of a personal grudge?”
Liao Zhenshan snorted. “You think too highly of that little girl. She’s just a piece of trash piled up with countless pills. Without the Wood Spirit Fruit, she’s nothing!”
Liao Sisi and Helian Qiguang were also refining pills on the stage and didn’t pay attention to Lu Zijia’s specific situation, but Liao Zhenshan, who was sitting below the stage, paid attention to Lu Zijia.
So, he saw very clearly that Lu Zijia didn’t use the Wood Spirit Fruit in the competition.
“Without the Wood Spirit Fruit?”
Helian Qiguang muttered and repeated, then suddenly came to a realization. “Master, do you mean that Lu Zijia’s furnace kept exploding because she lost the Wood Spirit Fruit?”
Hearing that, Liao Sisi frowned slightly. “Lu Zijia doesn’t know her limits. She Imows how important the Four Continents Competition is to the academy, but she didn’t even leave a Wood Spirit Fruit behind.”
Her grandfather only kept one of the Wood Spirit Fruits he got from Lu Zijia before and planted the rest on the spiritual field. However, a year had passed and the Wood Spirit Fruit still showed no signs of germinating.
It hadn’t germinated for a year, so the chances of successfully planting it were obviously not high anymore..
