The Second Round, Part II
After everyone who was participating made it to the arena, Sao Yong stepped forward. Wu Jian had been told only a little about this man. He was the head of the Zhou Kingdom’s Alchemist Association and a Gold rank alchemist. That made him one of the best alchemists in the entire world.
The man spread his hands out in a grand gesture. “Welcome, everyone, to this year’s Young Alchemist Competition! This is where young men and women who have chosen to study the Dao of Alchemy compete to show their talent! This is where talent is recognized! The winner shall receive more than just fame and glory! The one who wins this tournament shall be granted the greatest reward an alchemist can ever want!”
Wu Jian felt it before he saw it. Power. Raw and undiluted. It made his skin feel like it was blistering. A sweltering heat unlike anything he’d felt before. Even the desert of the Qing Province had not made him feel like this.
