Now, after the topic was announced, no one moved, because as long as the alchemist who has experienced the new recipe learning knows that this is definitely not an easy task.

This is not like an assembly manual according to the general diagram, for a new agent that has never been in contact with, it is only a brief description of the key points and operation methods, and many changes and unexpected risks must be experienced and run in by the user himself.

The first attempt of a new recipe that usually takes repeated practice is very likely to fail, not to mention that the one that is announced in front of you is still a broken version, and the content that has been corroded and hidden by holes is precisely the key point in the formulation.

Such a coincidence not only raises the suspicion that this is not an artifact unearthed from the ruins at all, but a deliberately bad version by the jury, but it is also very likely judging by the usual difficulty shown in this competition.

Knowing that there is no time limit, all the contestants want to do their best to imprint every word of the recipe in their minds, and at the same time rely on their own expertise to reason and interpret the missing parts in order to perfectly reproduce the potion in the most correct way.

Of course, there were still people who showed a different strategy than the others, and Noah, Ramsay, and Lloyd ended the viewing formula much earlier than the others.

That's not to say that they got the new recipe perfect before they could, but it reflected two different ways of thinking.

The people who continue to watch and think are intending to sort out and deduce all the ideas and details to every detail, and then complete the perfect operation in one go. The three of Lloyd, on the other hand, decided to start trying to get started with the operation, and then adjust and correct their own deficiencies and errors according to the changes and reactions produced, although it may not guarantee a success, but the results obtained by the actual operation are sometimes more enlightening.

In the face of difficult challenges, they generally unconsciously adopt their most common and familiar strategies to deal with them, so the performance of students in this round can also be seen as a battle between the practical school and the academic school.

It doesn't matter which is better or worse, but only the most appropriate method can come out on top.

The bigwigs at the observation table were also divided into two factions, each arguing and commenting.

And Xiao Yi and Link also have differences on their side, as the helmsman of the Alchemy Guild of a country, it is surprising that he supports the perfect deduction idea of the academy, and although Xiao Yi is a specially appointed lecturer of the academy, he has always pursued the policy of putting practice first.

"In that case, let's see which side will have the advantage in the end!"

It seems that seeing all his players pass the level, Link, who was in a relaxed mood, actually had the leisure to make a bet with Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi did not respond very enthusiastically.

Because he already knows that the outcome of this round will be detrimental to most players.

There is no doubt that the formula in front of us is the only correct way to test it with practical methods for these apprentices at this stage!

Just after an initial glance, Xiao Yi felt that there was something wrong with this formula, and after a closer look and a little pondering, he found the hidden trap in it, this formula should have been deliberately fabricated by the organizing committee, it should have been a similar elemental concentration potion, the formula was brand new, which was no problem, but it was deliberately forged into another unrelated potion, and it was also artificially created to hide key information, which was definitely a big pit.

The way to prevent falling into it is to discard the existing information, use operations to verify the authenticity of it, and then step by step to remove the false and retain the true, and finally come to the only correct answer.

And if you use reasoning and deduction to complete the formula theoretically from the beginning, you will undoubtedly give up doubting the truth of the formula because of preconceived notions.

Although theoretical derivation can also verify the correct results, it requires a global thinking and advanced knowledge that is crushing above the formula level, and then think about the level of the judges who "modify" the formula, which is not easy for young apprentices to identify.

And once the theory is established but the successful work cannot be made, the frustration and confusion of powerlessness are enough to make people mad and collapse.

And Noah's fellow countryman Pochi is facing such torture, and the sweat on his head is dripping like a trickle.

In fact, the level of the final has already surpassed his real strength, but for the sake of his relatives at home, he has to insist on winning status and honor even if he uses methods such as cheating.

But sometimes it's really not just hard work that is useful, and in the face of a clueless problem, he really wants to give up.

But just then, a voice sounded in my head.

"You can't solve this kind of pediatric problem!It's a waste of the Soul Sealing Stone to be placed on you, but for the sake of your desire for power to attract me, how about I give you a chance?"

"Who are you and why are you in my mind, go out ......"

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, you don't understand how majestic Lao Tzu's name is when it spreads all over the continent, give me a good listen, you little cubs have been deceived! This is not a bullshit dragon potion at all, but even if you know, it is impossible for you to complete the formula of this elemental coordination potion, don't you want to win?

How about it, do you want to accept my help or not, and make a decision quickly!"

"What should I do?" the nerves, constantly plucked by the words of temptation, made a subconscious decision.

"Relax your mind, remove distractions and resistance, and I'll guide you through the rest of the work. ”

At this time, there was more than one player in a state of embarrassment, and no one noticed the strange change in Pochi.

In the end, as Xiao Yi predicted, after a long wait of an hour, the first to deliver the answer was Pochi, who had always been inconspicuous, and Lloyd, Ramsay, and Noah then ended the operation one after another, and no one was able to take the initiative to complete it after that.

Until three quarters of an hour later, the remaining contestants on the field still did not make progress, and the jury decided to directly stop the operation and enter the overall review.

In this round, in the case of generally unsatisfactory results, the rankings before and after have changed significantly.

Among them, Lonnie and George on Aisin's side were both out, which has to be said to be a big pity, and after the results and answers to the questions were announced, everyone found that there were really many people who answered this perverted question.

The players who were originally a little unconvinced and felt that they were defeated because of their performance and luck were also educated, and it seems that the title of elite and genius is definitely not in vain!

After the elimination, there are only ten people left, and then it is the final showdown.
