Upon waking, Carson Flores left the Green Building.
The competition venue was already packed with people. Cultivators surrounded the place completely, and many hovered mid-air, eagerly awaiting the start of the contest.
Today marked the beginning of the most intense and thrilling final rounds of the competition. At this point, the remaining thirty-two alchemists were all top-tier masters, and the battle was about to grow increasingly fierce and ruthless.
All thirty-two participants gathered at the venue, and the rules of the contest were promptly announced.
It wasn't the one-on-one elimination draw Carson had imagined, turning thirty-two into sixteen. Instead, all thirty-two alchemists were competing simultaneously!
This round's rules were relatively difficult. Each alchemist would receive a large chest of preprocessed herbs, with at least a few hundred types of herbs within.
