Hearing the cry of the supreme leader of the Alchemist Association the atmosphere in the entire audience stands suddenly became silent. Quite a long silence and not made up.
Everyone's shock was completely gone as the sound of thunderous laughter rang out from three different directions. First from the direction of the judges, second from the direction of the guests of honor and the third from the stands of spectators. The three were none other than Elder Zhong En, Young Master Li Shin and the last one was Ling We.
"Haha.. Old grandpa! I won! I won! Ahaha.." Ling We laughed very loudly because of his victory in the bet. But his laughter suddenly stopped when he saw the old man fall from his seat while holding his left chest.
"Eh? Grandpa! You really have a heart attack?" ling We asked as he tried to help the old man and tried to sit him on the chair.
"Look? You're okay, right?" Ling We asked again.
The old grandfather who was trying to regulate his breathing as well as his irregular heartbeat relapsed upon hearing Ling We's question. How not? It was clear he was having a heart attack, still asked if he was okay? What a silly question!
As if not caring about the grandfather, Ling We inserted the five hundred gold coins belonging to the grandfather with a smile that could no longer be covered up. According to him, he had told and asked whether the grandfather had heart disease or not, it should have been enough for the grandfather to anticipate not to have a heart attack. So Ling We looked so cute. The most important thing was five hundred free gold coins!
Aligning the guests of honor, Elder Feng and Elder Lim of the Sacred Sword Sect and the Strength Sect stared intently at Ling Tian then turned to Young Master Li Shin.
"Young Master Li Shin! Do you know that masked young man? Was that young man also what you meant earlier?" ask Elder Feng.
"Haha.. That's right Elder Feng! That masked young man is the person I mean! And to get to know him, isn't that not the business of the Elders?" Young Master Li Shin replied calmly and evasively to answer one other question.
"That's.. Sorry was too rude! I was just too surprised to see the action!" said Elder Feng feeling that his question slightly offended the privacy of the Young Master of the Hell Sect. He cupped his hands respectfully to apologize.
"Haha.. Elder Feng can calm down! I'm just kidding! Elder Feng need not apologize, and right! We from the Hell Sect know clearly the young man! You could say he was part of us!" young Master Li Shin said proudly.
"Whata! The Hell Sect has such an alchemist? Since when?" Elder Lim of the Strength Sect reacted.
"Hehe.. That's.. I can't answer that Elder Lim! I'm sorry!" said Young Master Li Shin. He could not go too long on the matter about Ling Tian or himself being able to be mispronounced and would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Hm.. Alright if indeed Young Master Li Shin would not answer him! I won't force it!" elder Lim said.
While from the judges' seats, Elder Zhong En was showered with countless questions by the supreme leader of the Alchemist Association due to his attention-grabbing laughter.
"Elder En! Do you know who that masked young man is?" ask the leader of the Alchemist Association, Patriarch Zhong Lin.
"Know? Of course I know him Patriarch! Even I was the one who gave him the recommendation to be able to enter this tournament!" elder Zhong En replied proudly.
"Recommendation from you? Who is that?" Patriarch Zhong Lin asked again.
"He is Young Master Ling Tian from the eastern mainland!" replied Elder Zhong En casually.
"The ling? Eastern mainland?" Patriarch Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows.
"Really! Young Master Ling Tian was from the Ling Clan who had recently electrified the Sky Continent!" elder Zhong En replied.
"Haha.. Elder En! Did you make a good relationship with him?" patriarch Zhong Lin asked with a face that had interest as well as hope.
"Haha.. You always move one step ahead of us! It is very natural and no wonder for you to obtain the title of the Supreme Elder in our Zhong Clan even though your strength has only reached the Intermediate Platinum Swordsman!" patriarch Zhong Lin said as he patted Elder Zhong En on the shoulder.

On the stage, Ling Tian stood quietly and then raised his hand.
"Done!" yells.
After Ling Tian called out his voice and gave his homemade pill to the grand jury, an even bigger voice sounded and echoed.
Bomm!
The sound was none other than the sound of an explosion caused by the furnace of another participant exploding.
Bomm! Bomm!
Another explosion was heard. The explosion happened because those who were refining cultivation spirit pills were unfocused due to the dazzling light that was heaped from Ling Tian's spirit pill.
In the end, the first round tournament was completed by being ended by one of the representative participants of the Xiao Clan. The other participants continued refining the pills to completion because they did not want to waste precious ingredients.
Elder Zhong Mingzi flew over the stage giving an announcement.
"Participants! The first round is over! To the participants who finished after the first sixteen are welcome to step off the stage! While the others remain in place!"
All the participants who felt they had failed, slowly started to step off the stage. Ling Tian who had managed to make a surprise remained standing quietly despite the current being the center of everyone's attention.
The whispers and the cries of the spectators were heard echoing. Those who had originally criticized and insulted Ling Tian now unknowingly voiced their support. Yes, that is how human nature nicknamed netizens.
Ling Tian glanced at Ling We who was putting on a happy face. He cursed his brother and clucked inwardly for taking advantage of him then shook his head.
"Congratulations to all the participants who have qualified and continue to the next round! You are the choice of the chosen ones! You are given fifteen minutes to rest to restore soul power! Take this pill!" elder Zhong Mingzi exclaimed then waved his hand.
Sixteen pills that were useful for recovering soul power drifted into each of the participants. Ling Tian caught the pill and looked at the pill in his hand.
'Not bad!' muttered Ling Tian who managed to research the quality of the pill in one look.
