Chapter 309: 309
They had managed to filter the participants by ninety percent in just half an hour . Only ten students remained in the arena .
Those who managed to stay in the competition were discreetly happy with their progress . Most of them had the same level of skills, and the only thing that differed was their speed in the search process . Therefore, the first round not only required ability, but it also depended on one’s luck .
If they were unlucky and bumped into someone else with the same formula, then those two could only fight it out with each other .
As they recalled the tense atmosphere earlier on, the eight final participants turned to look at Shen Yanxiao, who was the first one to complete the task .
Shen Yanxiao had placed all of the medicinal ingredients in the basket and covered the lid . Therefore, no one else could see what she had taken .
“That kid is fast . I didn’t expect that he would be the first one to get a table . ” Those students who managed to get through to the second round by fluke glared at Shen Yanxiao’s back and wondered how a first-year student got past the first round . It was almost unimaginable .
The eliminated second and third-year students were some of the best students in their levels .
“How many medicinal ingredients would a junior potion require?” Another student snorted in disdain .
“Do you think that he will make a junior potion?”
“What else do you expect? How long have the first-year students been with the division? Have they worked on any intermediate-level potions? Besides, look at how young he is . Even if he had studied herbalism before his enrollment here, do you think he could produce an intermediate-level potion at thirteen? Don’t kid me . An intermediate-level potion would require at least five years of experience . Are you telling me that the kid had started to learn herbalism when he was eight years old?”
“You’re right . ”
Some of the participants discussed that amongst themselves, and they concluded that Shen Yanxiao was not a threat to them .
Even if she won the first round, the final product remained the key to the competition .
Only two participants passed the first round with the ingredients for a junior potion, while the rest of them had prepared for an intermediate-level potion .
Even a fool would know the difference between a junior and an intermediate-level potion .
The teacher did not waste time on nonsensical talk when he went to confirm their seats . He looked at the time before he began the countdown for the ten minutes that the participants would need to process the medicinal ingredients .
The participants only had ten minutes to process the ingredients, and those ten minutes were crucial for them . Half the success of the potion depended on those ten minutes .
At that moment, none of them had the time to even spare a single thought about another person .
All of them took their medicinal ingredients and began the steps to process them .
Shangguan Xiao was pretty busy with processing his ingredients, but he still found the time to glare at Shen Yanxiao’s petite back .
She might have cut a petite figure, but it still managed to hide her hand movements .
He wanted to guess the potion that Shen Yanxiao had chosen, but he had failed to do so .
It was not only Shangguan Xiao who had failed to do that as even the spectators could not see the medicinal ingredients that Shen Yanxiao had picked .
Coincidentally, there was a huge Herbalist Division’s flag at the front of the table that Shen Yanxiao had occupied . That flag was ten meters high and three meters wide, and so it had utterly hidden Shen Yanxiao from everyone’s line of sight .
