After listening to Liu Zhihuan and Qi Jinyao’s discussion, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
He found that the points mentioned by these two people were all extremely small details, such as preheating the elixir furnace to extend the two-breath time, and when putting in a certain elixir, it should be spread out, rather than thrown in all at once, and the spirit-charging technique should be used.
When you are ready, you should take another half step to the left of the alchemy furnace and so on.
Such fine and minute details are really difficult for him, an instant alchemist.
First of all, due to the existence of the power of momentum, his alchemy method tends to be rough, because some details are covered by the power of momentum, and he does not need to pay attention to them at all.
Secondly, when the old beggar taught him, perhaps because of time constraints, what he taught him were simplified techniques and were not too refined.
This test question is indeed too difficult for alchemists who have not been taught by Master Yan for a long time and have laid a solid and solid foundation.
…
"This kid..."
In the marking room, Yan Mingchao looked at Zhang Xiaozu's answer sheet and couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he was looking forward to Zhang Xiaozu's answer, but he never expected that Zhang Xiaozu would give such an answer.
Shang Susu sat opposite, her face slightly red, her head lowered, pretending to be grading the papers seriously, and did not dare to answer.
Because she felt ashamed in her heart and did not dare to look into Yan Mingchao's eyes.
In fact, there were originally five games in the main match, and the plan was to use a knockout format, but Zhang Xiaozu's surprise appearance forced them to change the format to ensure that Liu Zhihuan could win first place.
It is also because of the temporary changes in the competition system that this game does not look so grand.
The test question for today's second game was not among the original five test questions. It was a question that Shang Susu and Zhao Dongqing came up with after a temporary discussion, specifically to embarrass Zhang Xiaopou.
Because Shang Susu noticed that Zhang Xiaozhu's method of alchemy was streamlined, he concluded that he should be weak in handling fine details, so he asked this question in a targeted manner.
The results proved that her judgment was correct. Zhang Xiaozu was not weak in handling fine details, but simply not at all, otherwise he would not have handed in the paper in vain.
She knew it was disgraceful to do so, but for the sake of the overall situation, she had to be despicable.
She felt that Yan Mingchao must have seen through their despicable tricks long ago, but he did not expose them outright, so she did not dare to look at Yan Mingchao.
Yan Mingchao held Zhang Xiaopeng's paper and frowned for a long time.
He had indeed seen through Shang Susu's trick a long time ago, and the reason why he did not stop it was firstly because of the overall situation, and secondly because he felt that this test question was actually quite good, and it could be used to test Zhang Xiaopou's basic skills.
The answer is very bad.
He frowned at the answer sheet for a long time, thinking that if Zhang Xiaozu agreed to his terms of exchange, then he would have to start teaching from the basics. If so, it would be better to just accept Zhang Xiaozu as his apprentice.
The uninformed Shang Susu noticed that Yan Mingchao had been staring at Zhang Xiaozhu's answer sheet and frowned, thinking that he was angry, so he did not dare to say anything until Yan Mingchao put down Zhang Xiaozhu's answer sheet and turned to the next answer sheet.
Then I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The results were posted early the next morning.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Xiaopou got a zero score.
Ryu Ji-hwan topped the list with 130 points.
The second place is Qi Jinyao, with 100 points.
The third one is named Hua Chenfeng, seventy points.
It gets miserable further down.
There were more than 400 people, and more than half had zero marks in the test.
After reading the report card, there was a lot of joy and laughter, because there were too many people who scored zero points in the test, and even Zhang Xiaozu, the dark horse to win the championship, failed, so the zero points did not cause them any psychological pressure.
"Brother Zhang, don't be sad. The last game must be alchemy. With brother Zhang's alchemy skills, he will definitely be able to catch up." Liu Zhihuan patted Zhang Xiaopou's shoulder and comforted him.
His mood at the moment was a bit contradictory. He felt sorry that Zhang Xiaopou failed to do well in the exam, and he was secretly happy that he left Zhang Xiaopou far behind.
Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said with a smile: "Unless I can refine the elixir."
"Hey, Brother Zhang, what's wrong with your face?" Liu Zhihuan suddenly stared at Zhang Xiaozu's face and asked.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaozu raised his hand and touched it. He didn't feel anything abnormal. Then he observed it with a subtle attitude and found that the tiger pattern on his face had become mottled. He was slightly surprised and said, "It seems that the paint has faded.
, I'm going to wash my face."
"Haha, I can finally see Brother Zhang's true face. It's not easy." Liu Zhihuan said happily after hearing this.
Zhang Xiaozu returned to his room, took out a basin and water, took the water and scrubbed his face. He found that the paint had indeed begun to fade over time, so he washed away all the mottled patterns.
Just while scrubbing, he kneaded the facial muscles and slightly changed the outline of the facial features.
Qi Yu had seen his true appearance in the Jingnan Mountains. Although Qi Yu was not here, he had most likely told Qi'ar about his appearance, so he had to be on guard against Qi'ar.
At the same time, we must guard against Liu Xiangrong.
Because Liu Xiangrong took away an original body, Zhang Xiaopou didn't know who he took away. If the person Liu Xiangrong took away knew him, he might be recognized by Liu Xiangrong if he appeared in front of Liu Xiangrong with his true appearance.
So it's better to be careful.
"Oh, just as I imagined, Brother Zhang is really handsome and talented."
When Liu Zhihuan saw Zhang Xiaopou approaching, he immediately took a few steps forward to greet him and praised him.
When the people around him heard this, they all looked at Zhang Xiaozu, and then they all politely praised him.
Zhang Xiaozu did not use his eyes to look at Qi'er who was accompanying Qi Jinyao not far away, but observed in secret with a subtle state of mind. When he saw Qi'er's eyes only paused on his face for two or three breaths and then moved away, he felt in his heart
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The last game is scheduled for March 15th.
Liu Xingye allowed them to freely arrange their time in the intervening days without restricting their scope of activities. He allowed them to visit and play around, but reminded them not to wander into some places.
, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.
Zhang Xiaozu wanted to trick Liu Zhihuan into going to Qingyun Peak, but he learned from Liu Zhihuan that Qingyun Peak can only be seen but cannot be reached because Qingyun Peak is in the Danxia Fairyland of the Liu family. Without the permission of the ancestor, he went to Qingyun Peak.
Even Liu family disciples are not allowed to trespass.
You can't break in without trespassing, because the Danxia Fairyland is guarded by a very powerful forbidden circle.
After Zhang Xiaozu learned that it was difficult for even the core disciples of the Liu family to enter Danxia Immortal Land, he couldn't help but feel desperate. He felt that not only was the chance of taking Qingyun Peak this time slim, but there would also be no chance in the future.
Four days passed in a blink of an eye.
Early morning on the 15th.
Liu Xingye came very early and told them to wear the best clothes and show the best spirit, because they would be summoned by the three gods later.
After hearing this, everyone cheered and couldn't control themselves with excitement.
Although they have long heard that Tianzun will be the referee in the finals of this competition, they all feel that the credibility is not high, because Tianzun is the god in heaven in their hearts, how could a god come down to earth to watch their game.
Zhang Xiaozu also found his best clothes and tidied himself up very energetically.
When he met Daozu for the first time, he couldn't help but feel nervous because he didn't know Daozu's attitude towards Jiuzhou Continent.
However, when the white crane carried them and flew straight in the direction of Qingyun Peak, his attention immediately shifted from Daozu to Qingyun Peak. Looking at Qingyun Peak that was quickly approaching, he felt even more excited and nervous than when he saw Daozu.
