    "After all that effort, don''t tell me this mudball is just a joke?"


    "Look at it, the surface is even losing its color. Anyone who doesn''t know might think it''s a chunk of coal. But at least coal can burn-what can your mudball do?"


    "Haha..."


    Kairoughed without caring about his image. The crowd around burst intoughter too, teasing and gesturing at him.


    Some even urged the ck-robed elder to quickly check the medicinal properties of this mudball. After all, Frank had been wearing a serious expression since the beginning. Now, many people wanted to see the look of panic and embarrassment on his face once he was exposed.


    Surely this would bring another wave of amusement to everyone.


    "Hmm..."


    This time, Mole was clearly disappointed by the pill that Frank presented.


    He did not even reach out to take it and examine it carefully, perhaps afraid of getting his hands dirty.


    Instead, he let Frank hold it and stood in ce to inspect it closely.


    After staring at it for a while, he could not discern anything special. Then he leaned in to sniff it. Suddenly a pungent smell hit him, causing Mole to sneeze violently.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    When Mole sneezed, the entire crowd burst intoughter again.


    "Hey, Elder Mole, is there really anything to see here?! This kid obviously just whipped up some old mudball to fool us."


    "Exactly! You''re taking it so seriously and making yourself look bad. In my opinion, this is just a mudball. There''s no need to look any further!"


    Listening to the chaotic voices around him, Mole''s expression turned slightly unpleasant.


    Originally, he had a faint hope in his heart regarding Frank''s pill. But after such careful observation, he was disappointed to find that this pill... no, this mudball had nothing remarkable about it.


    Even street kids ying with mud could produce such a ''creation''.


    Finally, after a brief silence, Mole shook his head in disappointment and raised his hand to give Frank a score. "Ahem... I dere zero points for Frank."


    Immediately, the atmosphere in the entire hall reached its climax.


    Laughter echoed incessantly.


    Those who came to participate in


    Kornac''s Keep trial for new apprentices.could not help but exim that they hade to the right ce. Even though they did not advance, at least they had witnessed a spectacle that had not urred in decades.


    Someone actually tried to pass the trial with a mudball. Just the story of Frank''s attempt would ruin his reputation forever!


    Of course, whether Frank would


    have a future was uncertain because in his attempt to show off earlier, he had consumed so much sediment that now his body was almost bursting with toxicity.

    Initially, the people of Kornac''s Keep had beenpassionate and had offered Frank the chance to withdraw, wanting to save his life, but Frank insisted on refining pills himself.


    And now, he produced such a mudball.


    He was truly risking his life to show off!


    "Impressive. I truly admire him."


    Ira looked at Frank at this moment. There was no mockery on his face like others, but rather, genuine admiration.


    Of course, this admiration was not for Frank''s strength or character.


    It was admiration for Frank daring to risk his life to show off.


    Perhaps this was the only time he could ever do it in his life, so Ira sincerely thought Frank had something about him.


    This spirit of daring to court death really impressed him.


    "Zero points?"


    Amid the ridicule and insults from the crowd, Frank raised an eyebrow slightly and narrowed his eyes at the elderly man in the ck robe.


    "Elder Mole, did you really study this pill clearly? Or rather...


    "Are you really qualified to be a judge?"
