Chapter 3665: Reversal....
Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations
As long as two alchemists thought that Ling Han had passed the test, then Ling Han would be able to become a newly promoted alchemist, what more when the three alchemists agreed unanimously.
Of course, these three alchemists were witnesses. If it was discovered that Ling Han wasn’t equipped with the skill of an alchemist, then the three of them would also be held responsible.
Thus, no one dared to cheat when it came to the matter of alchemists.
“Congratulations!” The three alchemists congratulated Ling Han. “Let’s discuss
more often in the future.”
“All right.” Ling Han nodded.
The three alchemists were all very polite towards Ling Han. This man was really young, and his future prospects were boundless.
“Congratulations!”
“Congratulations, Alchemist Ling!”
The alchemy disciples outside also spoke one after another. An alchemy disciple to an alchemist was like a Mystery Realm Tier to a Foundation Building Tier. The gap was like the gap between heaven and earth, so they had no choice but to treat him with respect. Even those old alchemy disciples whose hair had already turned white were no exception, and they bowed.
Meanwhile, Ling Han said to an alchemist, “I’ve been learning from a blind alchemist since childhood, so I actually don’t know anything about alchemy at all. I wonder if Brother can explain it to me?”
“No problem.” That person was also looking for a chance to befriend Ling Han, so he naturally agreed immediately, “Come, let’s go somewhere else to talk.”
Ling Han nodded. The two of them walked forwards, but the crowds did not disperse. The alchemy disciples that had previously been standing behind took advantage of this opportunity to squeeze forwards, wanting to catch a glimpse of Ling Han’s face, and gain some luck.
Yi?
Coincidentally, Ling Han couldn’t help but smile. He saw six faces.
Deng Yingwei, Ye Wenbin, Tan Bing and the others, and when those six people saw that the person that had been surrounded was actually Ling Han, they couldn’t help but gape widely, their expressions filled with disbelief.
This newly promoted alchemist was actually Ling Han?
It was actually Ling Han!
How could that be? Weren’t you here to apply for alchemy apprenticeship? How did you suddenly become an alchemist?
Was there something wrong with you?
He clearly possessed the strength of an alchemist, yet he actually went to take the alchemy disciple test. This was practically baffling.
However, they had teamed up to scam an alchemist, so how could they withstand Ling Han’s revenge?
The six of them exchanged looks, and all stepped back, wanting to leave. However, the crowd was excited now, and all of them were trying their best to push forwards. How could they retreat in this moment?
”Yo, so it’s you guys,” Ling Han greeted with a smile.
“Brother Ling, you guys know each other?” the alchemist beside him asked in surprise.
Ling Han nodded, “Just now, I went to take the test for alchemy disciple, and in the end, I was booted out by these three people. The reason is that there are only three quotas, and they have to ensure that those three people can take the
place.”
He had revealed everything!
When Tan Bing and the others heard this, they naturally did not run.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a solid proof of their crime?
“Yi?” “Ah?” “Ya?”
Everyone exclaimed in shock, all of them feeling extreme disbelief.
Who could help me figure out why Ling Han would take the alchemy apprentice test on the same day, and then the alchemist test? They were on two completely different levels, all right?
What kind of person was this!
Ling Han smiled, “At first, I had wanted to directly verify my status as an alchemist, but in the end, I had not even opened my mouth, when someone brought me to a room, and said that I would be taking the alchemy disciple test. I thought about it, and after becoming an alchemy disciple, I would be able to receive ingredients for free to concoct alchemical pills, so it doesn’t matter. In any case, I don’t need to spend too much time.”
“In the end, these three people were so awe-inspiring and domineering, forcibly dismissing me from the test.”
After saying this, he looked at Deng Yingwei and the others, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
When everyone heard Ling Han’s explanation, they all gave an “oh”. Though Ling Han’s move was a little roundabout, it was indeed reasonable when they thought about it. A person that had not yet advanced to become an alchemist, what savings could he possibly have?
In an instant, everyone’s eyes turned to look at Tan Bing and the others.
Ling Han could become an alchemist, so how could it be that he couldn’t pass the alchemy apprentice test?
‘You people must have teamed up to cheat!
“N-no!” Ye Wenbin shook his head shakily, yet could not come up with a reasonable explanation.
The three alchemists who had been responsible for witnessing earlier had not left. One of the thick-browed alchemists immediately shouted loudly, “Song Tao, how dare you, to actually dare screw over an alchemist!”
He only recognized Song Tao. Previously, he had helped him for a period of time, helping him concoct alchemical pills. Thus, he was naturally shouting at
Song Tao.
Song Tao’s knees immediately buckled, and he fell to his knees with a thud. His eyes darted around as he tried to come up with a plan.
If Ling Han wasn’t an alchemist, and only invited three alchemists to plead his innocence, he wouldn’t be afraid. In any case, the results of the test were completely up to them to decide. As long as the three of them gritted their teeth and persisted, this convicted case could never be repealed.
But it was different now. Ling Han had become an alchemist, so the weight was completely different.
Would an alchemist be inferior to an apprentice in recognizing herbs?
-Perhaps there was such a possibility, but no alchemist would admit it. Then wouldn’t it be a complete mess?
Thus, once a disagreement arose, it would definitely be the fault of the alchemy disciple.
“Go and get Alchemist Ling’s answers for the first two rounds,” the bearded alchemist spoke up.
“Yes.”
Immediately, an alchemy apprentice ran out, and retrieved the answer sheet that Ling Han had previously given.
“Full marks for both the first and second round!”
“As expected of an alchemist.”
“En, when I was taking the test for apprentices, I had gotten two questions wrong altogether in the first two rounds.”
■’I’m slightly inferior to you, so I answered three wrong questions.” Everyone discussed spiritedly. Practically everyone had missed one or two questions, and it was rare that anyone had gotten all the answers right. The bearded alchemist smiled coldly, and looked towards Ye Wenbin and the others, “What else do you guys have to say?”
What else could he say?
Though this could not be considered evidence for the third round, it also showed Ling Han’s ability in recognizing herbs, and added with the fact that he had already become an alchemist, it was enough to prove that Ling Han’s ability in recognizing herbs had surpassed the standards of an alchemy apprentice.
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes were filled with disdain as they looked at Ye Wenbin and the others. Some were even rejoicing in their misfortune.
The three of them actually dared to trick an alchemist-they were dead for sure!
‘Til report this to the Grandmasters and convict you!” the thick-browed alchemist said calmly. As for Tan Bing and the others, he didn’t even glance at them. Although they hadn’t cheated, Ling Han had exposed such a huge conspiracy, so they naturally would be punished accordingly.
“No! No!” Ye Wenbin and the others all knelt down.
“Grandmaster Ling, we were wrong. Please spare us!” Song Tao kowtowed to Ling Han.
Deng Yingwei and Ye Wenbin were also enlightened, and hurriedly kowtowed to Ling Han as well. The person who had tied the knot still had to be the one to undo the knot.
Ling Han was unmoved, and merely said calmly, “I have warned you before, don’t regret it in future, and now you are begging for mercy? It is too late!”
With a wave of his hand, he strode off.
“Humph, you’ve brought this upon yourself!” The thick-browed alchemist humphed coldly. As an alchemist himself, he was naturally on Ling Han’s side. A mere alchemy disciple actually dared to offend his superior; they truly deserved to die.
Ling Han didn’t need to worry about the subsequent matters. Ye Wenbin, Song Tao, and Deng Yingwei were all stripped of their status as alchemy disciples, and would never be recruited again. Meanwhile, Tan Bing, Zhuo Die, and Sun Shaolong were also stripped of their status as alchemy disciples because they had participated in the cheating. Moreover, they were banned from taking the alchemy disciple test for another three years.
This was greatly satisfying..
