Chapter 139 – Alchemy Competition 27
"Before I announce the top ten Young Alchemists of the 102nd Alchemy Competition, let me explain the scoring criteria used to give the audience some context." Elder Godari left the audience on a cliffhanger.
"The first criterion is the product tier. Tier-1 products will receive 50 points, tier-2 products will receive 150 points and tier-3 products will receive 300 points."
"The second criterion is the quality. Low grades receive zero points, middle grades receive 50 points, high grades receive 100 points and top grades receive 150 points."
"The last criterion is the alchemy process difficulties relative to each tier. The sum of the first and second criteria will be multiplied by the last criteria. The difficulties have been rated ranging from 1 to 10, where 1 is the easiest and 10 is the hardest. If the product was rated as difficulty 1, the multiplier is 0.1. If it was rated difficulty 9, the multiplier is 0.9."
"Let me refresh your memory again of the rewards our Alchemy Association had prepared for the top ten winners. Also, thanks to our South Region Seven Alchemy Giants for sponsoring some of the rewards." Elder Godari continued talking at his normal pace.
"Alchemists who reached the top ten will receive an opportunity to pick a Tier-4 Alchemy Formula and an Alchemy Technique of their choice from the list provided by the Alchemy Association."
"Furthermore, they will receive ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones and a lifetime of free transport to any of the Alchemy Association's branches in the entire continent."
"Finally, the greatest reward for the 102nd Alchemy Competition is the spots to the Mystic Realm, which would open 7 years from now! 5 spots to the third place, 10 spots to the second place, and 15 spots for the Champion!"
Elder Godari looked at the results in his hand for a few seconds and then raised his head, facing the audience with a smile.
"We started with 5642 contestants. However, something disappointing happened, leaving us with 5636 contestants. It has been a very eventful 2 weeks, and we finally reached the end of the Alchemy Competition."
"Without further ado, the tenth placer had successfully made a high-grade difficulty-7 tier-3 product, earning 280 points in the final round. With a total points of 797.4, congratulations, Lars Vomil!"
Lars Vomil's supporters and the members of the Pill Palace immediately cheered for him and celebrated.
He finally was able to relax as he exhaled a long breath. The thought of being pushed out of the top ten had been tormenting him.
After letting them celebrate, Elder Godari continued the winner announcement.
"The ninth placer had successfully made a top-grade, difficulty-6, tier-3 product, earning 270 points in the final round. With a total point of 799.9, big clap to Amelina from the Pill Ascension Sect!"
Cheers erupted even more than Lars Vomil because Amelina was a very beautiful girl without a strong family background, resulting in many families eyeing her. She teared up from joy and was relieved at the same time. After all, her points were very close to Lars Vomil. She might have easily been out of the top ten if she had slacked even a bit.
After the cheers subsided, Elder Godari continued.
"Successfully making a middle-grade, difficulty-8, tier-3 product, the eighth place winner received 280 points in the final round. With a total points of 802, congratulations to Sarah Goldstone!"
The crowd erupted with cheers again.
"Woohooooooo!! Congratulations!!" Leyvi stood up and cheered together with the Goldstone Family even though he didn't know her. Selene giggled seeing Leyvi's action as she cheered together. After all, Sarah was her cousin.
"Continuing with the seventh place winner, scoring 320 points in the final round with a high-grade, difficulty-8, tier-3 product, he forced his way to the top ten with a total point of 843.5, Dante May!"
As usual, cheers and applause filled the Grand Stadium.
"Hahahaa! Remember me, I am Dante! I entered the top ten like a storm!" The white-haired Dante screamed at the crowd while raising both his hands.
"The sixth-place winner gained 315 points in the final round by making a top-grade, difficulty-7, tier-3 product. With overall points of 848.1, congratulations to Natalie Clover!"
Cheers erupted again, but Natalie's expression remained the same.
"Sigh, look at my daughter. She always had that puppet-like face. No emotion at all. Patriarch, how's the discussion?" The Clover Family Elder asked because Vitali's younger sister, Ava, wasn't here anymore.
"Look at my face. Do you think she agreed?" Vitali's face was swollen badly from getting punched. Since he failed to convince her, his suffering was for nothing!
"Morning on to the fifth place winner. He received the same score of 315 points in the final round after making the same alchemy product as Natalie Clover. However, his total points were 942.6, almost a hundred points higher, placing him comfortably in fifth place, a few rounds of applause to Victor Goldstone, the oldest participant of this Alchemy Competition!"
The Grand Stadium was filled with cheers again, but it was the tamest cheers so far.
"Husband, look at our poor son. He was the most unpopular one among the top ten so far. How is he going to bring me a nice daughter-in-law like this? What is so wrong with being short?" Madam Goldstone complained to Magnus.
"What do you mean not popular? Can't you hear the loud scream behind us?" Magnus referred to Leyvi and Selene, who were cheering loudly for Victor.
"Hmph, how is that the same? They are family." She pouted.
"Oh, so you approved of them now?" Magnus chuckled. It didn't take long for her opinion of Leyvi to change.
"At the fourth place, obtaining the second highest point in the final round with 405 points after making a top-grade, difficulty-9, tier-3 product. Amassing a total of 1041.1 points throughout the competition, a big round of applause to our youngest alchemist in the competition, Ori Oregano!"
The Grand Stadium eruption with loud cheers and claps. While the majority of the audience celebrated, some of them were sad and disappointed because the youngest alchemy prodigy missed the top three.
Anda, who was near Mia and Norin, instantly sensed the gross smell again and it was much stronger than previously. From second to fourth, Anda didn't doubt at all that he wanted to torture and kill the three of them so badly.
Mia let out a relieved sigh and smiled widely. Her final round wasn't as impressive as the fourth round, after all. "Doesn't this mean we are in the top three? Yay!" She hugged Anda and Norin together.
"Make sure to bring Lin Wei to the bedroom as a reward for your hard work," Anda whispered.
Mia instantly let them go and stomped her leg. "Anda, what are you saying?" She and Norin both blushed.
Anda smiled mischievously. She found that teasing innocent girls was really amusing.
On the other side, Ori Oregano didn't celebrate at all. He was looking down at the ground all this time, trying to control his emotions. If he lost control, everything would be over.
The three women who keep humiliating him in the competition, he would make sure they suffer in the future. Not just the three women, he would let the entire continent experience his fury!
"Now, the top three of the Alchemy Competition, are the three alchemists who will receive the Mystic Realm spots. Let me warn everyone. If you think you can kill or rob them for the spots, you can keep dreaming because the Alchemy Association has the last say." Elder Godari's expression turned serious.
"The top three winners have the right to allocate the spots to anyone they want to. If we discover any party using foul play to obtain a spot from them, get ready to face our wrath."
"And a reminder to the top three, only Core Formation cultivators and the realms below could enter the Mystic Realm. So, make sure not to bring a Nascent Soul or higher because they will die in there."
"The third place winner received 320 points in the final round for making a high-grade, difficulty-8, tier-3 product. Only 11 points higher than the fourth place, big congratulations to Mia Fafifa!"
Woohooooooooo!!! Cheers for Mia Fafifa shook the Grand Stadium.
However, Elder Godari didn't stop this time and continued while the cheers were still ongoing.
"The second place winner. Scoring 405 points in the final round, same as Ori Oregano. With a total points of 1066.7, congratulations to Norin Homun! A big congratulation also to her for having enlightenment the other day."
The cheers grew even louder, as Mia's supporters and Norin's supporters shouted together, competing to which side was louder.
"And finally, the winner, the first place, the champion of the 102nd Alchemy Competition, give the biggest, loudest, and longest cheers to ANDA LEYAN, the Alchemist Panda!!" Elder Godari announced while showing the overall ranking at the same time.
