Chapter 2636


    After the six contestants saw the runes that they needed toplete, all of them had concerned expressions


    except for Jackie.


    All of them were really worried and scared that they would not perform well. Other than Jackie, the other five


    contestants were considered quite skilled back at their irrespective forces.


    They were quite confident in their own skills and were always proud of themselves when they went out. However,


    this time they looked like they were in trouble.


    Conrad from Sky Peak Pavilion frowned and said, “Isn’t this test a bit too hard? Two thousand pill runes, it would


    already be amazing if I managed toplete eighty percent of them.


    “If seventy-five percent of those runes Ipleted were passable, then I would have performed beyond any


    expectations. This


    will probably be the worst result I’ve gotten since I became an alchemist.”


    Conrad’s words resonated with everyone around him. All of them nodded, but Jackie was the only one


    who quietly observed the condensing card.


    Jackie was constantly searching for those iplete runes in his memories. He had already shut


    himself out from whatever anyone else was saying.


    At that moment, Master Forrest suddenly said, “This tournament means a lot this time. It would be


    meaningless if we used only easy questions.”


    After that, Master Forrest looked over at Bradly. Bradley merely nodded without much emotion on his


    face. He looked exceptionally calm, which Elder Maurice and Jackie both caught.


    The two of them frowned at the same time, feeling like that expression must mean something. Master


    Forrest let out a cough


    and said, “You’ll have fifteen minutes to prepare yourself. After all, the tournament is an important


    matter this time. All of you have to maintain a calm state.”


    After saying that, Master Forrest turned around and sat on his chair. He sipped on some tea that was


    brought over. Master Forrest seemed incredibly calm and collected to any outsider.


    He had calmly exined the rules and sat back down. He even continued casually sipping his tea. In


    Jackie’s eyes, there was definitely something up. He frowned as he turned to look at Elder Maurice


    next to him.

    Elder Maurice had his eyebrows furrowed and were deep in thought as well. With the two of them behaving like


    that, Jackie immediately knew that something was wrong. Even though there was nothing odd with how Master


    Forrest was acting, he was being far tooposed.


    It was as though the tournament did not seem to matter at all to him. Master Forrest had been in Sky Peak Pavilion


    for so many years. He did not rise to power purely because of his skill, but his scheming ways as well.


    It was a tournament that involved many benefits. Even Elder Maurice was nowhere near as calm as Master


    Forrest. It was as if the results were not that important at all. Thinking about that, Jackie raised an eyebrow as he


    looked over at the three contestants on the other side.


    There did not seem to be anything wrong with them. The one called Bradley had left the most profound impression


    on Jackie. It was not only because of the look Master Forrest had shot Bradley.


    Ever since he saw Bradley, Jackie noticed there was not much emotion on the guy’s face. Even when he was


    introduced to everyone, people were looking at him with a confused gaze, but he maintained a calm expression.
