At the same time Mo Yu discovered Yan Li's identity, the higher-ups of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association naturally noticed something unusual.

After reviewing the gray-robed youth's information, Fa Ma and Qie Mi Er were the first to become suspicious.

"Seventeen years old, an alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire, clearly recorded as a second-tier alchemist, yet he possesses the strength of at least a fourth-tier alchemist. There's definitely something fishy here," Fa Ma said, his gaze fixated on the youthful face in the square, his expression grim.

"A seventeen-year-old fourth-tier alchemist? This brat must have used some kind of disguise technique. Let me see what's really going on," Hai Bodong, who had been silent, suddenly remarked with a smirk.

"You... won't get noticed, will you?" Fa Ma's expression shifted as he hesitated.

As the host of the Alchemist Grand Meeting, he certainly didn't want anything to happen that would damage the reputation of the competition. If Hai Bodong caused a stir, even if the Chu Yun Empire's Alchemist Association suffered, the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association would also lose face.

"Don't worry. Although my strength has declined a bit, I can still control a cold stream well enough to silently turn that fragile hood into powder. This is no big deal," Hai Bodong chuckled.

"Alright then... I'll leave it to you," Fa Ma said in a low voice after pondering briefly, nodding his head.

Hai Bodong smiled, his eyes narrowing slightly as he extended his withered fingers from his sleeve, gently flicking them. As his fingers moved, a faint and strange ripple silently spread outward.

With Hai Bodong's actions, a subtle cold stream began to weave through the air. After a while, it inconspicuously coiled above the head of the mysterious gray-robed man, like a few invisible ice serpents silently flicking their tongues.

At this moment, the gray-robed man was slowly packing up his belongings on the stone platform. Suddenly, his hand paused, and his azure eyes under the hood shrank abruptly. Stamping his foot heavily on the ground, his body was about to retreat rapidly.

However, no matter how powerful his soul force was, it was no match for a genuine Dou Huang expert.

Under Hai Bodong's cold stream attack, the gray-robed man's hood disintegrated into a cloud of powder, scattered by the wind.

As the hood disappeared, the youthful face hidden beneath was instantly revealed to countless eyes. Gasps echoed from both the audience and the VIP seats.

No one had expected that the person who had just achieved the best result in the first round would turn out to be such a young boy...

The boy with blue eyes reached up to touch the now-vanished hood. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, his icy gaze shooting toward Hai Bodong and the others at the VIP platform.

At the same time, sensing Mo Yu's gaze, She Lao's voice echoed in the boy's mind, "Judging by your expression, you've already locked onto your target. If you need me to take action, just say the word."

Looking at the gray-robed boy in the arena with a gloomy face, Mo Yu shook his head slightly in his heart and said, "No need to rush. Let's wait until the Alchemist Grand Meeting's competition is over. I must get the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit from him; he won't escape."

Mo Yu knew that while this person was a pawn sent by the Chu Yun Empire to disrupt the Alchemist Grand Meeting, killing a contestant was something that couldn't be done unless absolutely necessary. If this matter were to spread, the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association's reputation would be ruined across the continent.

Although Mo Yu didn't care about the Jia Ma Empire's reputation, Master Frank of Black Rock City had done him a favor, and attacking Yan Li now would most likely alert Fa Ma and the others. It would be better to wait a little longer.

Once the competition ends, not only would Mo Yu want this person dead, but the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association wouldn't let him leave alive either.

Mo Yu only needed to act before the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist Association did and take the Emperor Origin Blood Essence Fruit from him.

Hearing Mo Yu's response, She Lao, though unclear about the boy's exact plan, trusted his methods after spending so many days together. He lightly hummed in agreement and said no more.

He believed that as long as Mo Yu promised something, it would almost certainly be successful.

With this in mind, Mo Yu's mood gradually calmed down as he quietly watched the competition.

It had to be said that the people sent by the Chu Yun Empire's Alchemist Association truly had some skills.

Their alchemy techniques were so refined that, in Mo Yu's view, it was impossible to possess such mastery without decades of immersion in the craft.

If nothing unexpected happened, with this person's abilities, the champion of this Alchemist Grand Meeting would indeed be taken by the Chu Yun Empire. At that time, the Jia Ma Empire would become a laughingstock.

However, this competition had produced a dark horse.

Thinking this, Mo Yu slowly shifted his gaze to the center of the square, where a resolute, ordinary-looking boy in black stood quietly like a sturdy mountain.

In his hand, a magnificent and ethereal green flame slowly appeared, radiating a dazzling light like the king of all flames.

"This must be Xiao Yan's Green Lotus Core Flame. As expected of Heavenly Flame, its power is truly extraordinary," Mo Yu muttered softly, a gleam flashing in his silver eyes as he gazed at the flame in Xiao Yan's hand.

Compared to the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, which ranked lower, this Green Lotus Core Flame might not rank very high either, but it had already begun to show the aura of a Heavenly Flame.

Thus, when the green flame appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, it immediately stirred up a wave of cheers. Even Fa Ma and the others couldn't help but marvel.

The allure of an Heavenly Flame to an alchemist was indescribable.

After summoning the Heavenly Flame, the rest unfolded naturally.

The only one in the entire arena who could suppress Xiao Yan was the hidden alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire.

However, this was only the second round of the competition, and the troublemaker from the Chu Yun Empire clearly wouldn't reveal his true strength so soon.

Therefore, when the time for the test ended, the next part was another routine assessment. Thanks to the assistance of the Heavenly Flame, the best-performing pill was naturally Xiao Yan's.

Second place went to the gray-robed youth, followed by the little princess, Liu Ling, and a few other skilled third-tier alchemists.

After the test was complete, the sky had already begun to darken. A sliver of crescent moon slowly emerged from the horizon, illuminating the brightly lit imperial capital.

"Everyone, today's meeting will end here. I ask that all participants get a good rest tonight. Tomorrow will be the final round of our competition and the crucial match that will decide the champion," Fa Ma announced with a loud laugh.

Upon hearing Fa Ma declare the end of the day's test, the crowd in the square collectively sighed in relief. After two rounds of testing, not only the alchemists but even the audience felt a bit worn out from watching.

As everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Mo Yu quietly followed the gray-robed youth's figure, trailing him all the way to an inn...
