Quite a few spectators were also taken aback.
Even though the news of Chu Liuyue merging pills had spread far and wide in the academy, she was still an eighth-grade heavenly doctor back then. But now, the abilities she showcased were clearly those of a ninth-grade heavenly doctor!
After a temporary silence, the crowd became noisy. āDid this Chu Yue just break through to become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor? Iāve broken through for a year, but my technique isnāt as smooth as his!ā
āMe tooā¦ His control over the fire is very precise. How exactly did he refine so many herbs simultaneously?ā
āā¦Heās someone that Elder Wan Zheng thinks highly of after all, so how can he not be talented? No matter how awfully other people have talked about him, Chu Yue didnāt even care. He can just fling them away easily!ā
āWhen he previously competed with Liu Ziāan, he was still indeed an eighth-grade heavenly doctor. Not only did he break through to become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor in such a short amount of time, but his skills in all areas have even improved by so muchā¦ Sigh, if only I were half as talented as him!ā
Students who were also heavenly doctors saw the situation the clearest.
The talent and sensitivity that Chu Liuyue exhibited werenāt what an ordinary person could compare to. They couldnāt even be indignant!
āWith Senior Brother Rong Xiu guiding him personally, heāll naturally be different,ā someone said ambiguously, but this voice was quickly drowned out by the crowdās discussions.
Anyone with eyes could tell that Chu Liuyue was indeed capable. She was definitely a ninth-grade heavenly doctor, and the pill she produced would probably be quite decent.
Even if she lost in the end, there wouldnāt be so many doubts in the future.
Time slowly trickled past.
The assessments on the warrior side and Xuan Master side went on steadily.
Luo Shishi and Zhuo Sheng had passed successfullyāespecially the former, who had improved greatly and broke through to become an intermediate stage-nine warrior.
Even though Luo Yanming performed wellā¦ With Lin Zhifei in front, he instantly didnāt look that outstanding.
Even Luo Yanlin had to admit that Lin Zhifeiāwho had just come not long agoāhad stunning talent. Lin Zhifei might not even lose out to him.
After Luo Shishi and the rest were done with their assessments, they went to the heavenly doctorās side to spectate Chu Liuyue and Tang Ruiās match.
The atmosphere became increasingly nerve-racking.
The crowd fell silent as they watched the scene before them silently. Their hearts seemed to hang high.
A ripple came out from Tang Ruiās cauldron!
Quite a few people had their eyes light up. Tang Rui produced his pill first!
A spherical-shaped pill had already formed in that cauldron! With the fire burning it, the herbal fragrance became increasingly strong!
Detecting this aura, Chu Liuyueās brows moved slightly. She looked up, and a faint light flashed across her eyes. This auraā¦
āIntermediate ninth-grade!ā Someone within the crowd gasped!
āThatās an intermediate ninth-grade pill!ā
Tang Rui had been the hundredth place on the Qing Yun Ranking for a while, and his pill-producing standard had been maintained at the same level. However, nobody expected that he could already produce an intermediate ninth-grade pill!
With this alone, his ranking could improve by quite a bit!
āHe hid his skills!ā Someone gasped in realization. āI didnāt expect that although Tang Rui looks so peaceful normally, he secretly had already broken through long ago.ā
When Tang Rui heard this, he was caught between laughter and tears. I could indeed produce intermediate ninth-grade pills a long time ago, but I hadnāt revealed this to the public due to various reasons. Even for the Qing Yun Ranking, I just planned for myself to stay around the hundredth position and not go forward.
I originally planned to wait until I could produce a superior-class ninth-grade pill or a pill of an even higher grade before I formally challenged. However, I didnāt expect Chu Liuyue to choose me and go through with such a competition.
In actual fact, if I didnāt see Chu Liuyueās smooth and well-practiced pill refinement techniques, I had no intention of exposing my true abilities. But today, I can only do my best to secure my ranking!
āChu Yue is bound to lose! Even though an intermediate ninth-grade pill is just one small grade higher than a beginner ninth-grade pill, the two of them have a huge difference. Itās extremely hard to cross that gap!ā
āSeeing how confident Tang Rui is, he shouldāve broken through for a while, butā¦ That Chu Yue has just become a ninth-grade heavenly doctor, right? How can he compete against Tang Rui? Isnāt this bullying? Haha!ā
āā¦Donāt forget that he could make Tang Rui show his true abilities, which shows that the other party is good enough to make him wary! And this person isā¦ Chu Yue!ā
That was just a sixteen-year-old man!
In no time, the crowd looked at Chu Liuyue with different gazes.
After Elder Wan Zheng was shocked, he was comforted. Tang Ruiās abilities are clearly stronger than what he had shown before. The outcome of this match is probably already set. After all, Chu Yue is producing a beginner ninth-grade Pei Yuan Pill. But as long as my disciple can successfully produce the ninth-grade pill, everything else doesnāt matter.
He thought in his heart silently, Disciple, donāt disappoint meā¦
Right at this point, Chu Liuyue suddenly stopped in her actions and took out a few more herbs from her Cosmic Ring, pouring them into the cauldron.
āWhatās that?ā Elder Wan Zheng was dazed for a moment and instinctively looked closer. However, it was a hurried glance, and he could only forcefully recognize that they were all herbs. Butā¦ Why did Chu Yue suddenly put these items in? I didnāt write these herbs in the formula!
