Chapter 2642


    Benedict’s words sessfully consoled ude and calmed him down.


    Jackie raised an eyebrow after he heard Benedict’s words. He retorted, “The two of you are just annoying clowns


    in my eyes. You’re right, the tournament is about to start. The truth will be revealed soon, just don’t cry then.”


    After saying that, ude and Benedict’s eyes widened, unable to believe what they heard. Was that guy crazy?


    He actually thought they would cry?


    Even Benedict, who had a good temper, was almost unable to take it anymore and about to rush forward to fight


    Jackie. However, he was held back by Elder Maurice.


    Elder Maurice frowned and started berating the three of them, “All three of you, shut up! Don’t you know where you


    are? Why are you trying to start a fight and embarrass yourselves?

    “You should be focused on yourselves and your thoughts should all be about the tournament. I don’t


    care who’s bragging or not. I won’t let anyone off if they drag us down!”


    Right after he said that Master Forrest’s voice was heard on the other side, “Time’s up, contestants,


    prepare to start.”


    Master Forrest snapped them out of that tense atmosphere. ude and Benedict red at Jackie


    before they turned around and headed toward the center.


    Sky Peak Pavilion’s stewards gave each of them a condensing card. All three of them got the same


    condensing card.


    In order to ensure fairness, the three cards had just been made by Elder Maurice and Master Forrest


    earlier. After epting the card, Jackie looked it over once.


    Elder Maurice announced thest rule,


    “You only have six hours! Once the six hours are over, we’ll keep your condensing cards even if you


    haven’t finished. Everyone heard me?”


    The six of them nodded at the same time. After looking at their nod, Master Forrest suddenly had a


    glint in his eyes, as if he thought of something.


    “That’s right, the condensing card in your hands was made with a special array. It has a few additional


    functionspared to the cards you’ve gotten before,” After saying that, Master Forrest deliberately


    paused for a moment.


    Everyone looked at him strangely. Master Forrest seemed to be trying to bait everyone in. When he


    saw how everyone was looking at him, Master Forrest let out a smile as he continued, “The condensing


    card has a very special function. If the runes youpleted don’t reach sixty percent refinement, the


    moment youplete them, the runes will crumble by themselves.


    “That means that the runes that you canplete will all have a sixty percent refinement. The moment you


    The moment they heard that everyone’s eyes widened. Why was such an important piece of news left to thest


    moment to be announced?


    Jackie frowned as he turned to look at Elder Maurice. Elder Maurice merely looked forward without a change in


    expression. It was obvious that he already knew about that piece of news. If he already did, then why did he not let


    them know before?


    When Master Forrest saw everyone’s curious reactions, he smiled and exined, “We did so deliberately. The


    reason is simple, we want to test your adaptability.


    “Announcing this at the veryst moment will allow us to see what your mind is capable of when you’re facing


    unpredictable dangers.


    A sessful alchemist requires not only talent and ability butposure to face danger as well. There’s no need


    for any more talking, we will start now!”
