Chapter 420: On the eve of the decisive battle
Despite this, Reyes failed to make it to the final round. He is just a small regret about this, after all, from the perspective of ranking, it is a little difficult to rely on a round of counterattack.
Lonnie's promotion path is a little twists and turns, and the opponent assigned to is one of the dark horses of this competition, Ernie from the Heron Empire, compared with the other few who received the gift of the mysterious magic weapon of the man in black that night, he has been lacking in stamina since the preliminaries, if the previous few theoretical tests are because his usual basic skills are not very solid, but with the magic weapon's ability to sense the elements, the appearance of the stage of application operation after the application operation is still unsatisfactory, it has to be said that it is a bit like a dou who can't be helped.
After you came and went back and forth a few times, Lonnie completely suppressed the opponent, prejudged the destruction that the opponent might do, and prevented it in advance in the process of potion preparation.
In the end, Lonnie, with his absolute mastery of the recipe and his deep enough expertise, won a perfect score and jumped to 14th place in the instant rankings, but he still could not finalize a place in the final on the spot.
Because it just so happened that some of the players who were ahead of him didn't start the tournament now, he could still theoretically be rejected from the finals, and it was not easy to return to the team and continue to watch his competitors play in this tense atmosphere.
And when several people showed stable performance in succession and continued to lead the list, seeing that he had gradually surpassed and dropped to the twentieth place, the others who were waiting for the results with him were so nervous that they held their breath, and although his personality has undergone a qualitative transformation through the tempering of the internship, after all, it is not a demon like Xiao Yi, and his heart still mentions his throat.
Now waiting for the last player in the round to finish the match, if he can also get a perfect score, he will beat Lonnie in the last minute to get the only outstanding spot.
Watching the duel on the playing field, Lonnie suddenly had a wonderful feeling, the nagging and whispering of his companions around him to relieve tension seemed to have disappeared, everyone's movements seemed to have been suddenly pressed the slow play button, and all the operations that the opponent on the field had previously made him very jealous of became extremely clear, and the prediction of the next action kept appearing in his mind, and it was verified one by one in reality.
Lonnie, who was in a daze because of his concentration, seemed to be chaotic because of concern in the eyes of his companions, but Link and Xiao Yi both showed surprise when they noticed the abnormality, turned their heads and smiled.
Naturally, the alchemist also has an epiphany, whether Lonnie makes it to the finals or not, he will probably become one of the most rewarding people in this competition, as long as he recovers from meditation, he will definitely usher in a surge in skills.
There is an unwritten law on this continent, although the appearance of the state of epiphany does not mean that you will definitely be able to enter the ranks of transcendent sainthood, but all the top professional peak powerhouses in history who have achieved outstanding achievements must have experienced at least one epiphany.
This stay is likely to create a future top alchemist for Aishin, which is of course something that the two of them are very willing to see, and in the end, Lonnie got his wish and kept his twentieth place.
Since then, today's competition has all ended, and the jury has directly announced the list of finalists, among which Ai Xin has taken the lead with five people, and even the alchemical powerhouses such as the Principality of the Woodland have only three people selected, and the other few empires are only one or two, plus one or two geniuses from other regions to divide up this small number of places.
The atmosphere in the guest seat was extremely warm, although the finals had not yet begun, it had already indicated that the future pattern of the alchemy world on the continent might have to change somewhat.
Of course, another very eye-catching new force in the territory is Maiink, although only two people were selected for the finals in the end, but the most dazzling player Noah has maintained the top ranking with an absolute advantage.
If you have to come up with a person who has the most hope and strength in your mind to win the fruits of the final victory, as long as you don't talk nonsense with your conscience, you should not be the second choice.
Tomorrow's competition time was simply announced, and the work of the jury for the day was over, but the arena did not disappear in a period of time as it did yesterday.
Watching the adults compliment each other and politely talk about tomorrow's competition, all the apprentices seem to have their own ideas regardless of their grades, and many of them sometimes imagine that one day they can be among them, and that may be the pinnacle of their lives.
As for others, some of them may not be here, but whether you agree with it or not, all this will always be played out as scheduled, and it will not change forever.
Under the interweaving of these fame and fortune, the night continues to fall.
It seems that because of the previous night's actions, the uninvited guests did not visit again, but the hotel in Mainke had not been able to maintain peace for the third night in a row.
"Noah, I can't stand it anymore, this thing is like a devil's curse, my head is about to blow up!" The voice of complaining came from another finalist, according to the published list, this person is the Pochi mentioned by the man in black before, and in the face of this fellow villager who he takes care of very much, Noah is no longer the cold and arrogant face in front of ordinary people.
"Hold on a little longer! Wait until tomorrow is over, and by then as long as you have achieved considerable results, no one will look down on you again!"
"But what's the use, Noah! I'm not a genius like you at all, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't even be selected for this list, I can't hide it from others for a lifetime by relying on external forces, it's better to give up now than to be embarrassed later, right?"
"What stupid things are you talking about, have you forgotten why you are fighting for status and fame?"
was stunned on the spot by Noah's scolding, and tears filled his eyes in an instant, and he immediately hid his face and cried in grief.
Noah felt a pain in his heart when he saw his companion collapse, he knew that his playmate since he was a child was definitely not a cowardly person, but life and fate seemed to have put the most cruel situation on him, and it would take more courage to fight against it.
So he stepped forward and gave him a hug, pressed his friend's head lightly on his not very strong shoulder, and said in an unusually firm voice: "Trust me, everything will be fine! You don't have to cheat for long, as long as you can show a little bit in the final, the prestige and status you will get when you return home will be enough to keep your sister away from the coveted bastard."
There is only this last bit of distance left, no matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere!"
