Chapter 370 Alchemist Assessment 5
After a moment of silence, Kartis Van spoke with a light smile, his tone akin to a conversation between old friends. However, anyone could detect the subtle sharpness embedded within.
"Where I am is none of your business," Blaze Regret replied, his voice calm yet carrying a hint of confrontation.
Observing the two as if in a standoff, Zang Dee furrowed her brows slightly. A moment later, as if she suddenly realized something, her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Blaze Regret.
Could this person be his descendant?
With that thought, Zang Dee's rosy lips parted slightly in shock, her heart churning tumultuously.
In their generation, few were unaware of Flame Emperor's deeds, and countless young people regarded that legendary figure as their lifelong goal. Zang Dee was among them.
"Sizzle~"
With one hand behind his back, Kartis Van slowly raised his right hand, dazzling electric arcs rapidly coursing over it. A broad smile gradually appeared on his face. "To be honest, I didn't really want you to participate in the Kartis family trial this month because being compared to you is hardly something to be pleased about."
"Is that so."
The smile at the corner of Blaze Regret's mouth grew more pronounced. Then, he slowly opened his palm, a jade like luster covering his entire hand. "Although I would love to beat you up in front of Kartis Sham, if we can settle this now, I wouldn't oppose it."
Blaze Regret's voice, laced with amusement, resonated throughout the courtyard, causing everyone's expressions to change suddenly. The name Kartis Sham was famous, and now a young man merely at the spirit Imperial master stage dared to call him an old fool in public?
"It seems things are getting interesting," Zang Dee took a step back, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest. Clearly, she was eager to witness firsthand who was stronger between Blaze Regret and Kartis Van.
"Hmph!"
Just as the atmosphere grew tense, a low, cold snort abruptly dissipated the murderous air. The attacks gathering in Blaze Regret and Kartis Van's palms vanished simultaneously under the cold snort.
"Are you here to take the alchemist assessment or to fight?"
Stone Yee flicked his sleeve, and a powerful aura of pressure suddenly spread out, causing everyone's expressions to change. No one had expected that Stone Yee not only excelled in alchemy but also possessed formidable strength!
"A ninth tier Spirit Lord Master..."
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from Stone Yee, Blaze Regret murmured softly, tinged with a hint of surprise. It was no wonder that the Angsana Pavilion was regarded as a top tier force in Snow Storm City. Even just an elder from one of its branches possessed strength comparable to that of Mut Kui!
Lowering his hand slowly, Kartis Van seemed quite familiar with Stone Yee's capabilities and did not appear particularly surprised. He looked at Blaze Regret's face and smiled slightly, "Since Master Stone Yee has spoken, I have no choice but to back down. Congratulations, your little life is temporarily spared."
Facing Kartis Van's mocking tone, Blaze Regret chuckled lightly, "I'll return those words to you."
"You may now proceed to the designated room to begin your pill refinement."
Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Stone Yee felt a headache coming on. His voice carried a tinge of suppressed anger, though this anger was mainly directed at Kartis Van. After all, not long ago, he had worked hard to recruit Blaze Regret, and the Kartis family was ultimately the arch enemy of the Angsana Pavilion.
"Are you also an alchemist?"
Upon hearing this, Kartis Van seemed to have discovered a new world. With a smile, he said, "Then I can only wish you success here. If you're a little lucky, you might just barely become a first grade alchemist. In a few years, you might have a chance to catch up to where I am now."
After speaking, Kartis Van laughed heartily and turned to enter the Thousand Stone Hall Hall. kartis Siti, who was behind him, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but Kartis Van's figure had already disappeared from view.
"Petty people become arrogant when they succeed."
Stone Yee coldly snorted in his heart. Although they had a significant presence in Snow Storm City, they were ultimately people of the Angsana Pavilion. Even if they didn't express it openly, they couldn't help feeling some disdain towards the Kartis family.
"Let's head over as well."
Upon learning Blaze Regret's identity, Zang Dee's tone became noticeably more composed, and her expression as she looked at Blaze Regret was one of complexity.
"Zang Dee, I'm not quite used to you speaking like this," Blaze Regret said with a smile and a shrug. He never considered his identity to be anything special, except for the fact that it tended to attract trouble.
"Hmph, I was just a little surprised," Zang Dee retorted, regaining her usual proud demeanor, her lips curving slightly in a way that combined hidden charm with cuteness.
Turning with a smile, Blaze Regret followed the crowd into the hall, with Zang Dee trailing behind, a bit frustrated. She realized she preferred seeing the boy flustered and shy under her teasing.
"You just wait and see!" she huffed, shaking a small fist at Blaze Regret's retreating back.
The location for the alchemist assessment was in individual rooms. Blaze Regret looked up at a room marked with a two star emblem, then walked in with a calm expression.
In contrast, the other alchemists' faces showed varying degrees of nervousness. Passing this test would mean a significant change in their status in Snow Storm City, while failure would mean waiting another year.
As he watched the doorway ripple with magical formations following Blaze Regret's entry, Stone Yee's old eyes narrowed slightly. Who would have thought that the central figure of the recent upheavals in Snow Storm City would be right here at his Thousand Stone Hall?
