Chapter 1376: Justified Victory

Agalon doesn’t seem to be doing this to insult me on purpose. He looks as surprised as I. Damn it, he’s eclipsed me his entire life, and his disciple is eclipsing mine too. Is Sven so stupid that he doesn’t realize that Agalon is trying to save my face?

Does he have to throw his own face to the ground and step on it?

Alonzo didn’t want to explain how Lin Yun won, but Sven and the other alchemists all asked. They wanted to know the truth.

Those alchemists wouldn’t mind if they were criticized about alchemy, but they represented the top forces of Noscent, and they wouldn’t admit an unreasonable failure.

The atmosphere became tenser and tenser. Many people looked at Lin Yun with nothing but fury, and yet Lin Yun was still squatting on the ground, as if something on the ground had attracted all of his attention.

The Lionheart Prince frowned, and finally asked, “Alonzo, what’s going on?”

The forest elves’ king was suddenly surprised, as if he had realized something. He glanced at Lin Yun with a smile of astonishment.

“We’re holding this contest because we’re short of a Saint Alchemist, but the contest is unnecessary now. What a remarkable young man.”

Lin Yun heaved a sigh and stood up in disappointment. He shook his head and stood behind Agalon.

Seeing Lin Yun back, Sven couldn’t hold any longer, and pointed at him excitedly.

“Mafa Merlin, do you really feel comfortable winning in such a way? Are you not ashamed as an alchemist? Sordid methods are not allowed on the path of pursuing the truth.

“Where’s your product? You don’t even have your product. Do you really think you deserve to win?”

After Sven stepped up, everybody else asked questions too.

“Four sirs, we cannot accept this. Why is he the winner even though he hasn’t made anything?”

“Exactly. Why does the last spot belong to him? He hasn’t done anything. It’s so unfair. It’s an insult to alchemy…”

Seeing that those people were not giving up, Agalon was still wearing a casual smile, but didn’t say anything. Alonzo, however, became ominous and furious.

“Idiots! You idiots! Are your brains as flawed as the products that you made?

“Damn it, when I say Mafa Merlin is the winner, he is the winner. Are you questioning my judgment? You idiots who know nothing but returns, you’re blessed by fate to have grown up to where you are, and you want to make further progress?

“Never mind. Even if you idiots don’t understand me, did you not hear what the elf king said? Jerks, if you would rather know the hard truth, I’ll let you know!”

Alonzo burst into a rage, and everybody fell silent.

The forest elves’ king shook his head, and extended his fingers. He snapped them. Instantly, all the grass within a radius of hundreds of meters withered and sprayed on the ground as ashes. The remaining materials where Lin Yun was standing were all incinerated.

The area within hundreds of meters turned into a desolate desert, and in the center of the desert, there was a shimmer of light.

In the center of all the ashes, a grass that was only three centimeters tall was still standing. The grass was not green, but had four colors. Its four hues were constantly replacing each other. Thanks to the feeble around it, the grass seemed to be wearing a tiny rainbow.

Upon seeing the grass, Sven became pale and shocked. He looked at the vulnerable colorful grass, astounded.

“That’s impossible… It’s impossible. How could he have done that in only a couple of hours?”

A few knowledgeable Artisans also looked at the vulnerable grass in shock. One of them was so shocked that he dropped his own magic tool, and exclaimed, “Making out of nothing! Oh my God, he… he is a Saint Alchemist!”

Immediately, everybody realized why Alonzo changed the winner in the end, even though he was angry, and why the forest elves’ king said that the contest was held because they were short of a Saint Alchemist…

Now that there was already a Saint Alchemist, the contest was meaningless. No competition was needed. Even if Lin Yun didn’t make anything, he would still have the last spot.

Then, all the Artisans became completely pale. It was not until this moment that they realized what they had done.

Agalon hadn’t said anything, because he had been saving Alonzo’s face in front of so many people. However, they had forced him to confess the truth.

Alonzo and Agalon had been competing for years. Their main field of competition was alchemy. Unfortunately, neither of them could prove themselves better.

Naturally, the competition was extended to their disciples. If Lin Yun had won by a slight edge, then it would’ve been nothing. After all, a disciple couldn’t fully represent his master.

However, one of the disciples turned out to be a Saint Alchemist, and the other wasn’t. Everybody was fully aware of the difference.

They were in completely two different levels, even though they seemed close. They were as different
