Xue Lin’s furnace exploded again!
This meant that she had failed the assessment!
Seeing this, Wang Mang was overjoyed.
This was exactly what he wanted to see!
At the same time, Xue Lin’s face was as dark as a storm cloud, and anger was written all over her face.
This fellow was too infuriating!
Were it not for his taunts and insults, she was confident that she could succeed. However, her already poor mood was only compounded by Wang Mang’s words, so she ended up making another mistake.
“You’re too much! How can there be such a shameless person like you in this world!” Xue Lin screeched.
She wished that she could cut him into a thousand pieces!
Furthermore, when she saw Wang Mang’s indifferent expression, she was so angry that her body trembled.
Helpless, Xue Lin could only look toward the three Tier 3 alchemists and say, “Seniors, does this count? If this is also considered a failure, 1 am not convinced!”
“He deliberately interfered in my examination!”
Hearing this, the three Tier 3 alchemists were speechless. They had indeed seen what had happened, but in truth, they were also tired of waiting, and did not want to sit through another round of waiting.
In addition, there were no specific rules for the examination that forbade others from speaking.
Therefore, the black-robed elder said indifferently, “If you failed the test, just accept it. Don’t find excuses for your poor performance.”
“Furthermore, there are no rules regarding this matter.”
The other two Tier 3 alchemists did not say anything, tacitly agreeing.
When Wang Mang saw how angry she was, he decided to rub salt on her wounds.
“What? Can’t afford to lose?”
“After failing, you want to blame me for your lack of skill? Your furnace kept exploding while I was refining pills, but did you see me make a mistake, huh?” “Go back home and study properly!”
Xue Lin hated Mang Wang to the core, but she knew there was a grain of truth to his words. Left with no avenue to pursue the matter, she could only say coldly, “Just you wait! I won’t let you go so easily.”
Then, Xue Lin threw out 100,000 immortal stones in front of him and left without looking back. Wang Mang was not fazed by her words, and happily pocketed the immortal stones.
Today was really a good day!
Another two hours passed, and surprisingly, the other examinee actually passed. Although her furnace had also exploded quite a number of times, it seemed that her mental fortitude was better than Xue Lin’s.
Well, at the very least, she did not have 100,000 immortal stones riding on the outcome of the examination.
Soon, they were led by the black-robed elder to a room to pick up their exclusive alchemist robes and badges. Pleased by his accomplishments today, Wang Mang hummed happily as he turned to leave the Pill Palace.
At this moment, the other examinee suddenly reminded Wang Mang, “Be careful, Xue Lin is very petty. She hates you and definitely won’t let it go so easily.”
Wang Mang was unbothered by this. He waved his hand and said, “Does she think she can cause problems for me? We’re both Immortal King realm experts. Although she’s a little stronger, I’m not afraid of her.”
The examinee did not say anything after hearing this.
She was just reminding him out of kindness. Whether Wang Mang listened or not did not matter to her.
However, not long after Wang Mang left the Pill Palace, he encountered four Immortal King realm experts, who surrounded him.
Wang Mang immediately narrowed his eyes and frowned.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I just don’t like you,” the leader of the group, Chen Long, chuckled and said.
He gave Wang Mang a contemptuous smile and continued, “Unhappy with me? If you’ve got guts, you can challenge me in the arena!”
Hearing the young man’s blatant provocation, Wang Mang realized that Xue Lin took action really quickly.
Of course, Wang Mang was also fearless. He sneered, “You’re a peak-level Immortal King realm expert. Go find a peak-level Immortal Emperor realm expert to fight you instead!”
Hearing Wang Mang’s words, Chen Long’s face stiffened.
“Alright! I’ll find an early-stage Immortal King to fight you in the arena. Would you have the guts to accept then?”
“Sure! Find any early-stage Immortal King realm expert and I’ll fight them.”
Wang Mang was very confident that he was invincible at the same cultivation level, which was a fact that had been proven countless times in the past.
Seeing that Wang Mang had agreed, Chen Long did not waste any time. He said to one of the other peak-level Immortal King realm experts, “Third Bro, go find an early stage Immortal King realm expert… Find someone strong!”
The latter nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Wang Mang was unfazed by this. With a calm expression, he mocked them, “Hurry up and don’t keep me waiting. I have important things to do.”
Seeing Wang Mang’s arrogance, Chen Long was incensed, but suppressed his anger. This kid would get his comeuppance soon!
Not long after, the peak-level Immortal King realm expert returned with a cold-looking young man in tow.
Chen Long’s eyes lit up when he saw this person, and he immediately smiled warmly and said, “Kuang Shi, I’ll have to trouble you this time!”
The reason why he was so enthusiastic was because Kuang Shi was famous among the Level 4 students of Sacred Emperor Academy.
That was because Kuang Shi was only at the third-level Immortal King realm expert, which still fell within the early stage of the Immortal King realm. However, ordinary late-stage Immortal King realm experts would not be able to defeat him.
Similarly, Wang Mang also felt a sense of danger from this fellow, which meant that the other party was indeed very powerful. In fact, although the sense of danger he felt from Kuang Shi was inferior to what he sensed from Chen Long, it was not a great difference.
Chen Long was clearly confident in Kuang Shi.
He looked at Wang Mang as if he was looking at a dead man and sneered.
“Let’s go to the arena!”
At the same time, the system’s voice rang out in Wang Mang’s mind.
