The preliminaries ended smoothly that afternoon, and the real fierce battle will start tomorrow.

The delegations returning to their respective locations and the players who are still eligible for the individual competition are preparing intensely, and some of them will have to worry about more than just tomorrow's performance.

In the high-end hotel where the Wharton Imperial delegation was stationed, Chloe was being questioned by Phillipsis at this moment.

"What the hell happened to you guys outside last night?" As a teacher, he can't beat around the bush with his students.

"What do you mean, teacher? I and a few brothers from other countries have been in the hall on the first floor yesterday, and I drank a little more because I had nothing to do, because I was still taught by the teachers when I left!" Chloe made a deferential expression, as he always showed respect for his teacher, but at this moment it made Phillipsis feel a pang of irritation.

"You know what I'm talking about! You guys performed in the preliminaries today far beyond your usual performance, how can you explain this!"

"Oh, are they doing very well? I really don't know! That's the case, a few of us happened to be chatting about the art industry yesterday while drinking, and then we both felt that in recent years we might have slacked off and made our skills stagnate, so we felt very ashamed, so we agreed to work harder, and it seems that it has had a good effect!"

"Do you think you can get through that kind of rhetoric?"

"What kind of answer does the teacher want? As long as it satisfies you, even if it's a lie, I'm willing!"

"Aren't you lying now!" said Phillipsis, with a bit of a fuss.

And Chloe also raised her head suddenly to face the teacher's anger, her voice was full of unwillingness and resistance: "Does the teacher not believe me like this?

"That's not the same ......"

"Yes, it's really different, because he is your most beloved disciple and a genius! No matter how good his performance is, he should be, and I can't perform well, right! Since you have already decided in your heart that I am a ghost, why question me, just punish me directly, I will never resist!"

"You ......"

Looking at the stubborn face of the disciple, the corners of Phillipsis's mouth twitched several times, and finally sighed, and his tone softened: "You have to understand that I am also for your good, the road of alchemy is very difficult to walk, the scenery in the eyes of outsiders has the hardships that we can only experience, and there can be no false and shortcut in study and research, how many extremely promising alchemists have fallen on the crooked path because of their greed for ease and quick success."

You can have no talent, you can be playful, but you can't go down the wrong path, Chloe, you must not make a decision that you will regret for the rest of your life!"

"All in all, the teacher still doesn't believe me! If you think I've stifled Najib's limelight and asked me to restrain myself, you can just say it, but I don't have much to say about the rest!"

The master and apprentice stared at each other for a while, and Phillipsis shook his head slightly: "In that case, you can do it yourself! Remember that this is Ashin, your behavior and performance are not only on behalf of you personally, don't cause any big trouble!"

After saying that, she waved her hand and stopped looking at her disciple, and Chloe also got up silently, saluted, and exited the room.

After going out, he touched the inner lining of the chest of his clothes with his hand in the aisle, felt the slightest coolness from the pendant, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it was a bit risky to carry the "cheating" prop with him in front of the teacher, it had just been verified that this magic weapon that could improve his elemental sensing ability was really as undetectable as the mysterious man said last night.

Although he had just been presumptuous in front of the teacher, he felt very relieved to think about Najib's expression, and the eyes of several apprentices like him, who were not taken seriously, regarded it as a hero, were also very enjoyable.

So I secretly made up my mind to make persistent efforts in the next games, especially to take a good hit on the bastards who thought they were geniuses.

He turned back to his room, his young and tall back blushing in the dim light.

At the same time, not far away, in the inner courtyard of the Mainke Hotel, Noah was also meeting the "old man".

"It's worthy of being known as the first day of the mainland in the past hundred years, and your performance is really perfect, but you didn't use the magic weapon I gave you before, otherwise it would definitely be even more amazing!"

"I think I will use it when I should use it, can't you believe my ability!"

"Hehe, I naturally didn't mean that, but I heard that something very interesting happened during the competition in the afternoon, and your fellow Maiink player Pochi suddenly passed the test like a god possessed by a god in the case of frequent mistakes, which is very similar to the effect of magic weapons!"

"What do you mean, I naturally need to see how effective it is on others, you don't think I'm not at all wary of such things of unknown origin, do you?"

"Don't worry, I didn't question the meaning of your decision, but I was surprised to know that the hottest genius in the alchemy world turned out to be a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, in order to take care of his fellow countrymen with limited talents, he would give such a good opportunity to others, I really didn't expect it!"

The playful smile seemed to make Noah very unhappy: "Are you coming to me to talk about this? I still have to prepare for tomorrow's game, and I don't have time to talk without you!"

"Of course not, we know that you gave someone else the magic weapon before, so we specially sent a more powerful one for you to use!"

As he spoke, he reached for it, and an obsidian-like bracelet appeared.

"You should have seen the effect of the magic weapon before, it is enough for your fellow countryman, and this one is only worthy of being used by a genius like you, and it will definitely help you win the championship in this conference.

He's yours!"

"I don't need to, you can go!" Noah refused without hesitation, leaving the visitor very stunned.

"A kindness, you shouldn't refuse, besides, no one can guarantee foolproof, it's always good to have an extra layer of protection!"

"No, it's not possible for me!" Looking at the determined look on the young face, it definitely didn't look like a joke, and the face of the man in black also turned cold.

"Don't be too ignorant of current affairs, I can't force you to return the magic weapon I gave you before, but you can expose your fellow countryman to the referee of the conference, and his reputation and future will be ruined, don't you care?"

Noah, who turned around to leave, stopped, only turned around and sneered: "Then what if I tell Aishin's army and guild about your private contact with the conference players and interference in the game!

After speaking, he left without looking back, and the man in black who was sunburned in place was not annoyed, but showed a weird smile: "Hmph, it's too late, you just wait to become a victim!"
