"What's going on?"
Lu Yuan was shocked.
His vision blurred, and all the elemental runes and alchemy matrix disappeared.
Only that ordinary silver necklace lay quietly in his hand.
"What did you just see?"
The little old man rubbed his claw-like hands, eyes gleaming with excitement as he asked.
"Some rune circuits, and the alchemy matrix."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, carefully recalling what he saw.
"Are you sure you really saw that?"
Though over eighty years old, the little old man's heart was pure.
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, he even jumped up excitedly, like a child praised by a kindergarten teacher.
Stooped, he paced excitedly in the yard, completely possessed, muttering strange words about alchemy prodigies and innate spiritual power.
At his excitement's peak, he gesticulated wildly, spitting saliva.
"Is this old man having a fit?"
Seeing this, Lu Yuan was a little scared.
"Don't say nonsense, Master Wu has always been like this."
Zhao Shiqi glared fiercely at him, paused, then said awkwardly.
Wu Changgeng muttered to himself in the yard for a long time, then suddenly walked up to Lu Yuan, grabbing his arm tightly with his claw-like, thin hands.
His eyes shone like light bulbs, staring as if at an unparalleled beauty.
"From today on, you will learn Alchemy from me. With your talent, within ten years—no, five years—I guarantee you'll become a Level 6 Alchemist!"
"No."
Without hesitation, Lu Yuan refused outright.
Seeing the old man's face change drastically, he hastily explained, "I still have to go to school and take the martial exam."
"Forget that martial exam nonsense. Alchemy is the deepest knowledge in this world."
The little old man thought Lu Yuan had some hidden difficulty.
When he learned Lu Yuan was giving up Alchemy for some lousy college entrance exam, he angrily scolded, "Do you know what your alchemical talent means?"
"No."
Lu Yuan shook his head.
In fact, he understood better than anyone but pretended to be dumb just to hear Wu Changgeng praise him.
"You were born with strong spiritual power, possessing an innate control over the alchemy matrix. With proper training, you will overturn the entire alchemy world!"
"If you study diligently, you might become the supreme Level 9 Alchemist in your lifetime!"
"Now you tell me you want to go to school and take that damn college exam—you are defiling your own talent, defiling the entire alchemy world!"
The old man lamented deeply, his face full of frustration.
Lu Yuan felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
So his talent was actually this strong.
Zhao Shiqi stood dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes full of disbelief.
This scene was truly surreal.
Wu Changgeng was usually irritable and even rude to Grandmaster Experts, often cursing.
But now he kept praising Lu Yuan, looking as if afraid Lu Yuan didn't realize how talented he was.
Especially when she heard Wu Changgeng say Lu Yuan might become a Level 9 Alchemist, her blood surged wildly, heart pounding fiercely.
A Level 9 Alchemist was even stronger than a True King Expert!
Such a being stood above all worldly royal power; even rulers of nations had to bow!
This bastard Lu Yuan had such terrifying potential?
She stared at Lu Yuan's profile, suddenly flustered.
She felt emptiness in her heart, as if afraid to lose something important.
"Master Wu, I have no intention of focusing on Alchemy. I truly cannot give up martial arts."
Lu Yuan's expression was serious and solemn.
Perhaps to a fanatic Alchemist like Wu Changgeng, willing to sacrifice everything for Alchemy, Lu Yuan's choice seemed a waste of talent.
But Lu Yuan understood that whether Alchemy or anything else, all were fleeting.
In this dog-eat-dog world, only strength truly matters!
The little old man grew anxious seeing Lu Yuan's insistence, not knowing what else to say.
Forced things don't turn out well; if Lu Yuan refused to learn Alchemy, no amount of urging would help.
He had studied Alchemy for decades and finally found a prodigy; how could he let him go so easily?
He was like an ant on a hot pan, nervously pacing.
Suddenly, he had a bright idea, slapped his head hard.
"What school do you attend? Who is the principal? I want to talk to him personally!"
