469: C469 Final List

C469 Final List

Four hours later, only thirty people were left on the square refining pills.

The pill they were concocting was called Frost Pill, and it was extremely difficult for most of the disciples, so it fit the situation they were in right now.

Amongst the thirty people, only Lin Long and Murong Xue were the two new disciples.

Every year, there would always be a small number of new disciples that entered the final list, so no one would be surprised by this.

What surprised everyone was that Lin Long could make it into the first round.

It was expected for Murong Xue to be able to make it into this round, and even get the last place on the list. After all, Murong Xue's skill in alchemy before she entered the academy was already renowned throughout the Sky Spill Academy.

Other than Murong Xue, Ren Yang had also raised his voice, but unfortunately, Ren Yang had already left the Sky Spill Academy due to the gambling match.

But now there was Lin Long, this surprised everyone.

After all, although Lin Long's performance over the past few days had been extremely eye-catching and the pills he had refined were also special, this did not mean that he was exceptionally strong, as it was not enough for his to make it into the critical round.

Thus, this naturally astonished everyone present.

However, they felt that Lin Long would be eliminated in this round, because he had stumbled his way through the previous two rounds. It could be said that if it wasn't for his good luck, he wouldn't even have had the chance to enter this round.

It was precisely because of this that they felt that Lin Long would not have a chance this round.

The instructors present all looked at Lin Long in shock, although they felt that Lin Long's luck was really bad.

In other words, they had a hunch that Lin Long had done it on purpose.

However, they could not find any flaws, because the danger of Lin Long levelling up in the previous two rounds was completely true.

With their experience, there was no one at Lin Long's age who could perform such a thing.

Therefore, in their opinion, Lin Long was really too lucky.

How would they know that Lin Long was really acting? With Lin Long's strength and experience, wanting to deceive these instructors was an easy task.

The reason why Lin Long did this was because he did not want to reveal his true strength. After all, it was better to keep a low profile;

After a while, some people who were near Lin Long and had noticed him started to whisper among themselves.

"Look, Lin Long will definitely be eliminated in a while."

"You seem to be right, I can already smell the burnt smell coming from his little cauldron."

"Lin Long's luck is already used up, this time there won't be five people who made mistakes before him, he will definitely be eliminated."

Wei Zhanpeng, who was standing not too far away from Lin Long, slightly nodded in agreement with what the disciples had said, because out of the thirty people who were refining, none of them had any big accidents.

Although there were a few people who were flustered, but overall, they were much better off than Lin Long. At least they didn't have the charred smell that was clearly inside Lin Long's small cauldron.

Like this, Lin Long would be eliminated in a short while.

Ye Zhuangya, who was beside Wei Zhanpeng, also felt the change in expression. Her brows could not help but knit slightly, but she quickly relaxed.

Although she was slightly disappointed, Lin Long had, after all, already fought his way to the final round, and the results obtained were already enough to shock her and make her happy.

Given enough time, with Lin Long's current performance, he would definitely not be any worse than her.

Just as he was thinking, a strong burnt stench suddenly came over, Ye Zhuangya thought that Lin Long could not hold on, but after looking over, he was startled, because the one who failed was not Lin Long, but one of his disciples.

The disciple's face was full of regret, and the small cauldron in front of him was emitting green smoke.2

After that, he helplessly walked out.

After a period of time, another three disciples failed in refining.

On the other hand, the people around him were still in shock, because although the stinky smell coming from Lin Long's small cauldron was getting more and more distinct, he did not fail.

There were only twenty-six people left on the stage. In other words, if one more disciple failed, then there would be no need to compete anymore, because there would be twenty-five spots.

"I don't believe that at this point, Lin Long can still hold on."

"How can he continue like this? He won't be able to last more than a few breaths of time."

"That's right, he should be finished in a moment."

Everyone was discussing amongst themselves, and at this point, no one believed that they could enter the final list, because once the burnt smell in Lin Long's small cauldron thickened, the refining process would completely fail.

Even Wei Zhanpeng, Ye Zhuangya and the others thought that it was impossible for Lin Long to enter the final list.

Just as everyone thought that Lin Long was about to fail in concocting the pill in a few breaths, a "bang" sound came out from not too far away.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was stunned once again. For some reason, a disciple's small cauldron had exploded.

In other words, there was no need to compete anymore. Lin Long and the other 24 people had already reached the final list.

"Yu Fang, what are you so excited for? You only need to hold on a little longer and you'll be able to enter the final list."

In their eyes, they would rather Yu Fang be able to enter than look like Lin Long, who relied entirely on his luck.

While everyone was feeling regretful, a cloud of green smoke suddenly rose from Lin Long's small cauldron.

"What luck, this Lin Long's luck is really too good."

"He was clearly the first to have a problem, yet he was still able to enter the final list. It can only be said that his luck is too good."

"If Yu Fang had not been nervous and made a mistake with her flame control, I would have been able to hold on for a little longer. This way, Lin Long would not have been able to level up."

Wei Zhanpeng looked at Ye Hongyi, who was at the side, and shook his head helplessly. "What luck, it's fated that Lin Long will be able to enter the Pavilion of Announcements."

"I hope he can live up to this kind of luck." Ye Hongyi nodded.

They felt that Lin Long was completely relying on luck because he almost failed just now. In this kind of situation, no one could fake it.

How would they know that Lin Long was simply lying?

The reason why Lin Long made his refining method go wrong before was because he had already calculated the time, and predicted that four people would make mistakes before he failed.

This was naturally because his strong spiritual will was able to see through the surrounding situation. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to do this.

How could the surrounding people know the secret behind it? They only thought that Lin Long was really lucky.

After these people finished refining the materials, Wei Zhanpeng announced the final list.

In the end, Murong Xue was included in the list, because she wasn't among the five people who made mistakes.

The semifinals ended here as well. All the disciples that had made it to the final list would quietly wait for Xuan Ri and then enter the Pavilion of Announcements to gain insights.
