Reincarnation of the Hero
Ch.193 - Alchemy Tournament Winner
The participants and the spectators were shocked to hear the rules in this final round. The requirements to be a winner are very difficult.
But given that the winner of the tournament would be a disciple of Master Kong Guan, they felt that this was the thing that should be. If they could not meet the requirements then they were simply not worthy of being a disciple of Master Kong Guan.
Now their determination is burning to become winners. They want to prove they deserve it.
Xiang Yang himself did not care who would become Master Kong Guan's student, either, all he wanted was to become a winner and then meet Master Kong Guan and see who exactly Master Kong Guan's student surnamed Xiang was.
4 Young girls walked up the arena with a tray containing the ingredients of the Energy Change Pill.
"You have only one chance, if you fail then you will be eliminated immediately!" after saying that, the referee immediately started the match.
The participants immediately started the refining, none of them wanted to waste time, including Xiang Yang because he wanted to end this boring tournament as soon as possible.
Xiang Yang took all the herbal ingredients provided and immediately put all the herbal ingredients into the burning furnace.
The young girl who brought the herbal ingredients to Xiang Yang, was shocked by the young man's action.
"Would he really be able to make the Energy Change Pill in this way like he did before?" thought the young girl.
The young girl did not underestimate Xiang Yang at all because from the beginning she had been an assistant to the young man, so she was very sure that what Xiang Yang had done before was not a fraud.
As Xiang Yang began the refining process, Master Kong Guan who was on the special podium widened his eyes.
Despite their distance, Master Kong Guan could sense how Xiang Yang refined pills.
"The pill refining technique that young man used.is the same as my technique, but the technique he used is more perfect and profound, who exactly is he?" muttered Master Kong Guan inwardly.
Master Kong Guan continued to pay attention to how Xiang Yang refined pills, stage by stage was done quickly and efficiently making Master Kong Guan amazed.
"The young man.. is he really as young as he looks? His skill in refining pills was likely above mine. What purpose does an alchemy master seem to have for the Alchemy Tournament, there is no way he would want to become my disciple?" Master Kong Guan laughed in his heart thinking about that.
"Whatever the purpose, I want to meet the young man in person. It's likely that he and my students have a relationship because their faces are so similar, I'm like looking at the faces of my students in the younger version."
Within a minute, Xiang Yang had already finished refining the Energy Change Pill.
Master Kong Guan shook his head softly while sighing lightly "The winner has indeed been determined from the beginning."
"Is there a problem, Master Kong?" ask Master Kong Guan's assistant who is standing next to him.
"The young man had already finished refining the Energy Change Pill."
"What, that fast!" The assistant Master Kong Guan named Xing Ping immediately turned to look at Xiang Yang.
"By the way, what's the young man's name?" ask Master Kong Guan.
"If his name is not wrong Xiang Yang, I just realized that the young man has the same clan as Master Kong's student."

In the arena, Xiang Yang opened the furnace then took out the finished Energy Change Pill.
"Miss, you can check it out yourself." Xiang Yang handed the pill to the young lady nearby.
The young lady just stared as she did not expect Xiang Yang would be this fast refining the Energy Change Pill.
"Miss!"
"Eh, huh?" The young woman also woke up from her daydream.
The other participants who had been focusing on refining pills, were surprised to hear that Xiang Yang had finished refining pills.
*booommm!
*booommm!
*booommm!
Due to their scorching concentration, their furnace finally exploded, emitting black smoke with a faint fragrance of herbs, but the scorching scent was even more concentrated.
"NOT POSSIBLE!" Ran Wang walked quickly towards Xiang Yang, intending to snatch the Energy Change Pill in his hand.
Xiang Yang was able to youngly avoid Ran Wang.
"What do you want?"
"Give me the pill! I'll check it myself!" Ran Wang looked sharply at Xiang Yang.
"Really! Hand over the pills."
"We believe you must have cheated!"
The other two participants were also suspicious of Xiang Yang, they began to corner the young man.
"You guys are participants, so you don't have the right to judge my pill. After all you alone cannot refine the Energy Change Pill, how will you judge my pill?"
"Mr Ran Wang, this is the Alchemy Tournament, there should be no violence in the arena!" The young girl who became Xiang Yang's assistant, warned Ran Wang.
"You better shut up!" Ran Wang looked intently at the young girl.
Amidst the commotion, an old voice sounded.
"Stop!"
Everyone's gaze was directed towards the source of the sound, they saw the figure of Master Kong Guan flying slowly towards the arena with Xing Ping.
"Master Kong Guan!" everything in the arena except Xiang Yang cupped his hands respectfully.
"Master Kong Guan, you certainly know that it is impossible to refine the Energy Change Pill within a minute right." Ran Wang then pointed at Xiang Yang "So I'm sure that he's cheating!"
"You're wrong Ran Wang." Master Kong Guan walked up to Xiang Yang then patted the young man on the shoulder "Xiang Yang did not commit any cheating at all, I can see for himself he did indeed refine the Energy Change Pill within a minute."
Hearing Master Kong Guan's statement, the spectators who initially also agreed with Ran Wang, now became believers with Xiang Yang.
"But still it's impossible to refine a pill that fast."
"Ran Wang, do you want to say that if I lie, you assume I have no eyes to be unable to judge right and wrong?"
"S-I don't dare Sect Master Kong Guan!" Ran Wang looked down.
"Alright, because in this final round 3 participants detonate a furnace which they are automatically eliminated. Only one participant managed to refine the Energy Change Pill, and surprisingly he was able to refine the pill in just one minute!" Xing Ping announced the winner of the tournament then turned to Xiang Yang "Xiang Yang, congratulations on having obtained the first rank in this year's Alchemy Tournament!"
Xiang Yang nodded with a simple smile in response.
Yes, Xiang Yang wasn't too happy about getting first rank, because all he was fighting were tier 2 to 3 alchemists.
