When this news spread, the entire Sacred Institute was in an uproar.
"What? Someone's challenging Lin Xuan again? Is that for real?"
"Lin Xuan is incredibly strong; most senior students are no match for him. I wonder who can withstand his Sword Intent?"
"I heard this challenge isn't about martial arts, but alchemy."
"What? An Alchemy Duel!"
Everyone was stunned. Soon, they learned the full story. Apparently, Zhao Yue from the Star Alliance wanted to compete with Lin Xuan in alchemy.
"Why an alchemy contest?"
"Isn't Lin Xuan not an Alchemy Master?"
"I heard Lin Xuan is a fourth-grade Alchemy Master."
"What? Really?"
"That's impossible! How could he be a fourth-grade Alchemy Master?"
Almost no one believed it. Lin Xuan's talent was indeed outstanding, but it had always been demonstrated in the Martial Dao. He had never shown any talent for alchemy, and in their view, he wouldn't have had the time to cultivate the Alchemy Dao anyway.
