Fight to break the sky

Walking into the Alchemist Guild, a faint scent of medicine rushes towards you, making you feel relaxed and happy.

There were not many people inside the hall, only a few people were doing their own things quietly. It seemed that they heard footsteps. Some people raised their heads and glanced at the huge black ruler that was almost dragged to the ground. After a flash of doubt in the eyes of the young man, he immersed himself in doing his own thing again. They didn't think anyone would have the courage to cause trouble in the Alchemist Guild.

Standing in the slightly deserted hall, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to find someone to ask about the procedures for obtaining the alchemist level badge, a woman wearing a light blue dress hurriedly came from behind. He walked out of Taichung and walked quickly towards Xiao Yan.

"This...sir, judging from the look on your face, this must be the first time you come to our Alchemist Guild in Black Rock City, right?" She came to Xiao Yan with a smile. After scanning her beautiful eyes around, she asked with a smile. .

"Yes." He looked at the woman in green in front of him. Her bright eyes and white teeth were quite endearing. Xiao Yan smiled and said, "This is indeed my first time here. I came here to get an alchemist level badge. .”

"Oh? Are you also an alchemist?" Hearing this, the woman in green clothes was obviously startled, her beautiful eyes swept over Xiao Yan's body, and she said in astonishment.

"Well, can you tell me what the procedure is?" Xiao Yan didn't care about the surprise in the woman's eyes, and nodded with a smile.

"This way, please." When Xiao Yan nodded to confirm, the woman in green was slightly startled, and her pretty face was obviously more respectful. She stepped back a few steps, came to the counter, and smiled at Xiao Yan.

Taking out a piece of yellowed ancient parchment from the counter, the woman in Tsing Yi held the pen elegantly with her bare hands, raised her head and smiled at Xiao Yan Yingying: "Sir, please tell me your name, age, mentor's name, Ya Han needs to register for you."

"Xiao Yan, age nineteen, mentor... Yao Lao." Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, then smiled.

"Sir, you are really young and promising."

Hearing Xiao Yan's age, Yahan couldn't help but exclaimed softly in her heart, smiled and flattered her slightly, her eyebrows suddenly furrowed, she paused the pen in her hand, and after thinking for a moment, she said awkwardly: "Mr. Your mentor’s name does not seem to be in the records of our Alchemist Guild.”

"He likes to live in seclusion, so he has never recorded it. What's wrong? He must record it before he can claim it? In this case, I think it's better to forget it." He frowned, Xiao Yan shook his head, and then turned to leave. I didn't expect this thing to be so troublesome.

"Sir, please wait." Seeing Xiao Yan about to leave, Yahan said hurriedly: "Although there is no record of your mentor, as long as you can pass the assessment, you can still receive the level badge."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan paused, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and looked at Yahan with a smile.

Quickly putting away the things on the table, Yahan took the registration form in her hand, then pointed her hand towards Xiao Yan and said: "Sir, please come with me. If you can pass the level assessment, you will be able to receive it smoothly. Level badge, um... Sir, you are testing a first-grade alchemist, right?" Yahan looked at the information with her hands and asked casually with a smile.

"No, second grade." Xiao Yan shook his head and chuckled.

The walking steps suddenly stopped, and the body that stopped suddenly almost made Xiao Yan hit him. Fortunately, he braked in time, and he looked at the slim Yahan in front of him with confusion.

"You said...you want to test a second-grade alchemist?" Yahan turned her head and opened her red mouth slightly, staring at Xiao Yan in shock. At the age of nineteen, you want to test a second-grade alchemist? This is the first of its kind among the Alchemists Guild of the Jiama Empire!

"Well, is there any problem?" Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said calmly.

"No...no." After coming back to her senses, Yahan hurriedly shook her head, looked at Xiao Yan with more respect, and said softly: "Mr. Xiao Yan..."

"Just call me Xiao Yan." Xiao Yan shook his head and interrupted with a smile.

"Haha, okay." Yahan had spent some time in the Alchemist Guild after all, and met quite a few big shots, so when she heard Xiao Yan say this, she also skipped those convoluted names and smiled. Said: "You haven't received a professional badge before, right?"

"Um."

"In this case, you must first start the assessment as a first-level alchemist. If you are successfully promoted, you can continue to assess the second-level alchemist." Yahan smiled and explained the assessment procedures to Xiao Yan.

"Hey, let's do it one by one." Hearing this, Xiao Yan was startled and then nodded helplessly.

With a slight smile, Yahan's walking speed slowly slowed down. After a while, she stopped in front of a gate. Outside the gate, four powerful men were guarding here in full armor.

His eyes swept over the chests of the four big men, and Xiao Yan felt slightly awe-inspiring. He discovered that these four people were actually Nine-Star Fighters, and judging from the steady and long breath of one of them, it was obvious that he had already stayed at this level for a long time. It had been a long time, but judging from the occasional glint in his eyes, it seemed that he was just around the corner to enter the Dou Master level.

"Uncle Teya, has the internal assessment begun?" Yahan handed Xiao Yan's information to the strongest man and asked with a smile.

"Haha, not yet, but soon. Have you brought new people in again? It seems pretty good." The big man named Teya glanced at Xiao Yan, and a feeling rose in his heart. He was surprised that with his strength, he could not see the true identity of the young man in front of him.

"Well, okay, let's go in."

After carefully checking the information and seal on the registration form, Thea took out a black armband from his arms. On the armband, there was a big five-character painting: "This is your exam number, don't lose it. "

After taking the armband, Xiao Yan put it on his arm and smiled gratefully at Teya.

"Xiao Yan, you can only go in by yourself below. According to the regulations, we can't enter casually." Seeing that the procedures were completed, Yahan chuckled.

"Well, thank you!" Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, bowed his hands to several people, and then stepped behind the door.

…

After entering the door, bright lights illuminated the spacious hall as if it were daytime. At this time, the hall was crowded with many people, and whispering laughter occasionally sounded in the hall.

Xiao Yan's eyes swept across the chests of these people, and he was surprised to find that most of them were real alchemists.

Among the crowd, Xiao Yan actually found two fourth-grade alchemists. One of them happened to be the master named Otto that Xiao Yan had seen before, and the other one was also an old man. Listening to the names of the people around him, Xiao Yan knew that this old man was the president of the Alchemist Guild of Black Rock City, Falklan.

In the center of the hall, there are more than a dozen stone platforms separated from each other carefully. The stone platforms are filled with various medicine-refining equipment. At this time, inside these stone platforms, some people are eager to There were seven young people standing there, and the woman named Lin Fei happened to be among them.

"Falkland, where is Snow Charm? Why haven't you come out yet? The assessment time is coming soon!" Otto glanced at the hourglass on the table, turned his head, and said to Frank, who was laughing with others next to him.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. This is Xuemei's first assessment, so she must be fully prepared." Waving his hand, Frank looked at Otto, who was impatiently waiting, with a smile on his old face.

Hearing this, Otto curled his lips and hummed: "There are still ten minutes left. If you don't come out, even if you are the president, you cannot extend the waiting time for the assessment for no reason."

Smiling, Frank turned his head and swept his eyes across the hall. Finally, he paused slightly and looked at the young man who came in at some unknown time. He glanced at the armband on his arm and said with some surprise: "Little guy, Are you also here to test the alchemist?"

It was the first time in his life that he saw so many colleagues. Xiao Yan was a little excited. Hearing Frank's question, he was slightly startled and then nodded.

Seeing Xiao Yan nod, Frank's old eyes were even more surprised, and he smiled and said: "How old is the little guy?"

"Nineteen." Not sure what this old man, who obviously seemed to have a high status, wanted to do, Xiao Yan could only say it truthfully.

"Oh?" Hearing Xiao Yan's answer, not only Frank was surprised, but also Otto turned his gaze. When he looked at Xiao Yan, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said with a smile: "I said that before. This little guy seems a bit unusual. It turns out that you are also an alchemist, but why didn't I sense it before? It stands to reason that it would be difficult for people whose strength is lower than mine to hide their identity in front of me? "

Hearing Otto's words, Xiao Yan could only shake his head in confusion, pretending not to know. With Yao Lao's protection, how could he discover Xiao Yan's true limit with the strength of the old man's fourth-grade alchemist? Otto did not get to the bottom of it, but stopped asking when he saw Xiao Yan's confused look.

"Tsk, tsk, nineteen? Old Otto, this little guy's age is much younger than our two disciples." Frank tutted in praise.

"It's better to wait until this little guy passes successfully before praising him. Although it's a bit hurtful, didn't Linfei also come for the assessment two years ago when he was nineteen?" Shaking his head, Otto smiled, although he didn't I didn’t mean to look down on Xiao Yan, but at the age of nineteen, he wanted to obtain the Alchemist Badge. This seemed to have never happened before in the Alchemist Guild of Black Rock City.

"That girl of yours was just here to cause trouble, right? At that time, she almost blew up the medicine stove." Frank shook his head and cursed with a smile. Although he said so before, he also It is clear that at the age of nineteen, it is difficult to take the test as an alchemist!

After all, if you want to become a true alchemist, in addition to your innate soul attributes, you must also become a true fighter. And, after becoming a fighter, if you want to become an alchemist, you must at least You also need to learn the art of alchemy initially under the guidance of an instructor, and this learning stage will take at least a year!

Generally speaking, if someone wants to become a first-grade alchemist at the age of nineteen, he must become a fighter before he is eighteen or even seventeen years old. But with this kind of terrifying cultivation talent, in total, But it is even rarer than the unique soul attribute of the alchemist!

Therefore, even though Frank and Otto were well-informed, it was difficult to believe that the young man in front of them could successfully pass the test.

"Come on, don't think I don't know. When you gave Xuemei a small test in private, didn't she also blow up the medicine cauldron?"

Looking at the two people who were talking to each other in front of him, Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. Just when he was about to ask, a faint voice with a hint of coldness suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I'm late."

The sudden cold voice was like the clear and ethereal sound of snow rocks hitting each other on the snow-capped mountains. It was quite pleasant. At least, after this voice sounded, Xiao Yan discovered that at least half of the young people in the hall would be slightly hot. His eyes were cast behind him.

Xiao Yan pursed his lips, and slowly turned his head curiously, looking at the silver-robed woman walking gracefully from the gate, his eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
