The apprenticeship competition was held the following afternoon at the Royal Arena as scheduled.

Different from the previous exchange display unit, due to the large number of participants, the apprenticeship competition will last for about three days, and it will be divided into two parts: individual competition and team competition.

The referees of the competition are all selected by the guilds of various countries, and the highly famous alchemy theory and teaching masters on the mainland, as well as the top industry masters and seniors, and the form and title of the competition are also formulated by the referees, although the nationality of the referee will coincide with the contestants, but after all, there is no way to completely avoid this possibility.

And considering his own reputation and the honor of the scholar, he can still be relatively fair in the review, what?

If you don't want to participate, you can get out of the conference, there is no absolutely fair thing in this world, if you want to be fair, you can hone yourself to become a top powerhouse in the field, in that case, no one dares to be unfair to you.

As the chief referee, Richardson, a famous celebrity in the mainland alchemy circle, gave a speech before the game, and gave sincere teachings and encouragement to the apprentices who participated in the competition, such as "You are the future of the mainland", "Wealth and status are just around the corner", "Become famous as soon as possible...... Ah, this isn't!" "Ascend to the Hall of Truth" and other exquisite and gorgeous flatbreads and chicken soup are sprayed with all their might.

However, many young and vigorous students were so excited that they chanted and applauded, as if they had really passed this competition and were future masters, and the high enthusiasm made Richardson's old face full of "I am very pleased" expression.

Since the afternoon was only a preliminary match, the atmosphere of competition and the fire between each other were not too intense, and the scene looked casual and relaxed.

The participating apprentices are divided into groups to be tested by the preliminary test questions, and then pass before they can participate in tomorrow's main competition.

Judging from the situation in previous years, this link can often eliminate one-third to one-half of the number of people. However, since this year's conference has set the tone of elite and profound, it is conceivable that the questions in this preliminary round will be more difficult than in previous years.

But when it was time to make the announcement, the hearts of all the apprentices present who participated in the competition sank.

"Separation and reduction of a single energy solvent or stabilized agent mixed with several other fused impurities, time limit: within three quarters of an hour. ”

The narrative is simple, but the content is complex:

First, the basic materials and impurities given are undecided, and it is a very laborious process to judge and analyze;

Second, there is no possibility of running into idiot questions by chance, if it is a single energy raw material reagent, it is difficult to analyze the type of ingredients without the characteristics of the formed agent, but if it is a finished agent that is easy to identify, it is more difficult to separate impurities because it is necessary to avoid destroying the structure of the agent!

Thirdly, under the premise of such difficulty, three quarters of an hour is obviously not much, and if you encounter a difficult case under the premise of only one chance, you can imagine how much pressure you will face.

Although I secretly scolded the pervert in my heart, I still have to face it in the end. With apprehension, the apprentices who were assigned to the first group came on the field.

With an order, when everyone removed the box with the potion bottle on the operating table in front of them, basically everyone was stunned.

Feeling the mixed energy emanation and dull color, I couldn't help but shout in my heart: "This Nima is also called some impurities, this is not a test, this is called tossing people, okay!"

Is this Nima of any practical significance? The medicine that has been polluted to this extent has long been thrown away, and who wants to purify and separate!"

Of course, the people who can come to the conference are the leaders of the younger generation in their respective countries, so naturally they will not give up so easily. After a moment of stunnedness, people began to operate one after another, and the scene gradually seemed to be back on track, and the atmosphere of the fierce competition began to appear.

In addition to the referees and invigilators who patrol the venue, the team leaders and guests of various delegations also observe the performance of all the players outside the venue.

In this process, many people are full of praise for Xiao Yi's projection display equipment set up in the whole stadium, which can switch to display the operation performance of the players in the field from multiple angles, saving the fatigue and trouble of the viewers who had to run off the field in the past, Xiao Yi also accepted it with peace of mind, and he can't tell people that the event broadcast system is not a problem at all in his "hometown"!

As time passed, the apprentices on the field were all engaged in the operations in front of them, completely observant of the progress of the opponents next to them.

On the one hand, because everyone gets different reagent compositions, and other people's operations have no reference meaning at all, on the other hand, in such a competition with an obvious academic and technical atmosphere, cheating and stealing are the most unacceptable behaviors. Risking your reputation and future to be the most promising rookie in the industry in a once-in-a-few tournament is not a worthwhile choice!

Just when everyone thought that this scene was going to be maintained until the time was almost exhausted, someone finally broke the dullness.

"The fifteenth is complete!" An apprentice raised his hand to indicate that he had completed the operation of solving the problem, and an invigilator from the inspection site stepped forward to check.

The same professional alchemist with a very high level did not need to ask for help, so he did a few small tests on the potion in front of the apprentice, and then compared it with the record of the correct answer in this round in his hand, and announced the result on the spot: "The fifteenth passed, and the rating is excellent!"

This is a big explosion on the field, all the apprentices did not stop their movements, but before two quarters of an hour, someone actually completed and passed the test with excellent results, why didn't I think there were any popular seeds in this group to win the championship?

Suddenly, a great pressure filled my heart, and I didn't even feel that the movements in my hands were a little faster, but this is not a simple physical work after all, and if you want to work hard and ruthlessly, you can get results on the spot.

After that, some people completed the test one after another, some passed and some failed, and when the invigilator announced that the time limit was to stop the operation, nearly one-third of the apprentices failed to complete the operation, so naturally there was no need for audit.

Counting those who had completed but failed to pass, the number of apprentices in the first group of thirty apprentices had passed a total of fifteen, just over half. It was largely in line with the judges' expectations of the results, and the most eye-catching performer in the group was the apprentice who finished more than a quarter of an hour earlier.

In the audience outside the venue, a group of people joked to Phillipsis: "I don't see it, you also hide a hand! Chloe is not very talented among your disciples, but she has such a performance!"

It looks like you're sure to win the championship!"

Phillipsis smiled and said nothing, but his eyes were not full of relief and joy when he looked at his disciple's performance!
