Chapter 302 – Deceitful Competition (1)

Shangguan Xiao slowly approached the center of the stadium like a king.

Because of his arrival, all the students participating in the competition moved aside to give him a path to walk.

Whether it was Shangguan Xiao’s title as a top student, or the Master Pharmacist behind him, all the students were far inferior to him.

Shen Yanxiao was standing in front of that path. Her head was bent a little as she leisurely looked at Shangguan Xiao. Looking up slightly, she could see a lot of mentors surrounding that arrogant Pu Lisi.

Pu Lisi also stared at her, and his chin was slightly raised while his old face had a serious expression.

Four eyes were looking opposite each other. Pu Lisi’s eyes were as sharp as a blade.

Shen Yanxiao laughed deep in her heart. For this old guy to run here today, she was afraid that this competition between Shangguan Xiao and her would be more interesting.

It was assumed that he was currently looking forward for his baby disciple to win and humiliate her.

Shangguan Xiao went in front of Shen Yanxiao, and thanks to his height, he was able to look down at this thorn in his side arrogantly.

“Today, I will let you lose face in front of all the students of the entire Pharmaceutical Branch,” Shangguan Xiao said with a dark expression. He had promised Pu Lisi that he would win this competition and let Pu Lisi punish this loathsome brat.

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrow and revealed a faint smile.

“Who’ll be the one humiliated in the end, I wonder…”

The brief contact between the two people made the surrounding atmosphere become tense. The spectators on the sides could only swallow their saliva while watching the two people staring at each other, and their stares were as sharp as a knife.

Everyone was ridiculing that freshman for overestimating his own capabilities.

How difficult was it to win over Shangguan Xiao in pharmaceutics?

The mentors in charge of the competition soon returned to their position, and the pharmacist’s monthly competition officially began.

The number of participants joining in the competition had reached one hundred thirty seven; it was far more than the previous ones.

Soon, each of the one hundred thirty seven people received a token with their own number.

The number on the tokens, which ranged from one to one hundred thirty seven, also represented their ability and power from the mentors’ assessments.

Shangguan Xiao got number one.

And Shen Yanxiao got one hundred and thirty seven.

[TL Rapyon: SYX, 137? These mentors are ridiculously stupid, they aren’t qualified to assess a person. Lol. ]

The difference between the two was conceivable to others.

“There’s only one thing you must remember in this competition, that is you must give your best shot in the limited amount of time given to you to complete the potion. And then, after that, you will be judged by the mentors of the Pharmaceutical Branch.” The mentor in charge of the competition was standing in front of everyone as he announced the content of the competition loudly.

“Although it may look like that simple, this competition is actually divided into three stages.” The teacher had looked at the students in front of him before he single-handedly opened the space behind him. Immediately, a lot of different kinds of medicinal herbs appeared, making the people who saw them be dazzled.

“First, for half an hour, you must find the medicinal herbs that you’ll need within this 3690 herbs.”

3690 medicinal herbs!!!

All the students were dumbfounded as they look at the scattered medicinal herbs. One by one, their faces looked like a bitter melon that wanted to cry.

What a joke! ! !

Joining in the competition, they had at least prepared to concoct an intermediate level potion. But the number of herbs needed for such a potion was roughly ten or more!!!
