Ryu's expression was indifferent and unmoved. He could tell what the others were thinking, but he seemed to care even less.

The reality was that because the percentage purity of the pill wasn't how the pills would be judged, if Ryu really wanted to create a Soul Nourishment Pill, even if he by some miracle took first place in the combat stream, his ranking in the alchemy stream would be so low that it would make his first place almost entirely irrelevant.

The final rankings would be decided on a combination of one's alchemy score and one's combat score, and by virtue of that, the pills concocted had to directly help with the combat stream. If not, wouldn't it entirely ruin the purpose of this tag team event?

The alchemy score wouldn't be decided until the use of the pill was measured after the combat stream. Only then would the skill of the alchemist and their warrior be measured and parsed apart.
