My cousin is becoming a legend.

Is Chapter 120 a sure loss?

In the stands, Rhodes and his group also noticed something amiss in the arena.

Why haven't you announced the prescription for the second round of the competition yet?

Most of the audience members had come to watch the excitement, but now they were unusually aroused and became somewhat anxious.

Finally, the referee announced the prescription for the second round of the competition.

"With the unanimous agreement of the two contestants, the prescription for this competition is a Tier 2, 2-star Deer Hoof Jumping Stone Potion. The alchemy materials are on their way, please wait patiently."

The referee put down his megaphone and sat back down in his original position.

The room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a cacophony of discussion.

"A two-star potion? Are you kidding me? That's a huge leap!"

A second-year alchemy student was somewhat on edge.

The reason is simple: even among second-year students, those who can refine a second-tier, two-star potion are considered to be students with an average ranking in the grade.

He was clearly not among them.

"That's unlikely. Jeremy isn't just a one-star talent, why would he choose a two-star talent as his competition prescription?"

"It would be a laughing stock if neither of them could master it."

Some people made malicious comments.

There were many different opinions among the people present.

Rhodes, Monica, and Talon were also somewhat confused as to why they were using a two-star prescription.

"Neither of these two seems to be skilled enough to refine a two-star potion, so why...?"

Rhodes' face was full of confusion.

He looked at the other two.

Monica shrugged helplessly, indicating that she had no clue.

Talon, however, frowned deeply, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Seeing this, Rod gave him a shove in annoyance.

"Don't hold it in, just say it."

Monica laughed and said, "Yeah, Talon, don't be so serious all the time. Just say what you want to say. If you can't guess, it's just a way to pass the time."

"Um......"

Talon pondered for a moment.

"This is just my guess. I don't think Jeremy would stoop so low. Never mind, I'd better not say anything more."

Talon fell silent again, much to the frustration of Rod and Monica.

After much persuasion, Talon reluctantly revealed his guess.

"Didn't you notice the special features of this two-star potion?"

Rhodes was taken aback by what he heard.

"It's just a deer hoof stepping stone, what's so special about it?"

Monica was also puzzled.

Talon explained, "This potion is indeed just a regular two-star potion, but what I mean by special is the special brewing process. I think you all remember the importance of the quality of the jumping stone in this potion, right?"

Monica promptly added, "Talon's reminder reminds me of something else. If Jeremy chooses to use the already prepared high-quality stepping stones, the difficulty of this potion will be further reduced. If Lynn is given low-quality stepping stones, then it can be said that he can win this match without a doubt."

Talon nodded.

Rhodes frowned and said, "If that's the case, then Jeremy is truly despicable, cheating in a competition against a commoner... Humph!"

Rhodes' expression clearly showed some disdain.

Talon sighed.

"Who told Jeremy to be so flamboyant, betting a Tier 5 device? If he really loses it, his family will definitely punish him severely. Maybe this is the price of arrogance."

As the three were talking, the materials for the two-star potion were brought up from the arena.

Monica made a shushing gesture and stared intently at the materials being taken out of the wooden crate.

She is an alchemist, but also a superhuman with special abilities.

With concentration, she can achieve the effect of seeing a thousand miles in a short time.

As the materials were distributed to Lynn and Jeremy's lab benches, Monica finally recovered from her farsightedness.

She let out a long sigh and said, "Unfortunately, we were all right. Jeremy did tamper with the stepping stones. He's rotten to the core."

Rhodes and Talon remained silent.

Besides these three people, some teachers on the podium also noticed the anomaly in the materials.

However, they did not make a fuss about it.

Since you've taken their money, it's best not to be too clear-headed about things.

Is it wrong for the organizer to want to win?

On the field, Jeremy breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems his clever trick went unnoticed.

That's fine.

Let's make a final decision.

He admitted that he had underestimated Lynn before.

However, it's not too late now.

As long as I can defeat him, that's enough.

Jeremy's arrogant expression had completely vanished.

After all, he himself felt somewhat ashamed.

The materials were placed on the table.

Lynn flipped through the prescription as usual.

After familiarizing himself with the sights, Lynn immediately used the skill "Divine Assistance".

It remains an absolute testament to skill, and an absolute success.

Lynn's speed increased rapidly, startling Jeremy, who was focused on concocting medicine.

He turned his head and looked over, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Dude, how did you get here so fast!

This is a prescription I chose myself; there's absolutely no way Lynn could have prepared it in advance.

Could it be that his strength is only at the second tier, second star?

For a moment, Jeremy was somewhat bewildered.

His carelessness almost caused the materials to be ruined.

Jeremy gritted his teeth and ignored him.

Anyway, he had already tampered with Lynn's boulder, so he had absolutely no chance of succeeding!

Just do your best as usual!

Jeremy buried himself in rigorous training.

Lynn quickly processed all the materials.

He put the medicinal herbs into the refining pot in batches.

Intense firepower, elemental collision.

Lynn handled everything with ease using her mental power.

Until he threw the boulder into the pot.

This is the most crucial step in preparing this medicine.

This stone is called the Jumping Stone not because it can jump.

It was named after the behavior observed in the alchemy cauldron.

White deer hooves, after being processed in a secret way, have extremely potent medicinal properties.

The properties of the jumping stone are exactly the opposite of those of the white deer antler.

So when you put a boulder in, the stone will bounce around on the surface of the medicine pot.

The essence of this medicine lies in neutralizing two completely opposite medicinal properties the moment the stepping stone touches the water's surface, ultimately allowing the entire stone to merge into the water.

If the alchemist fails to catch the moment the stone bounces and allows it to release its energy, the stone will quickly fall into the water and ruin the entire potion.

The most perfect effect is achieved when, just before the potion is finished, the few remaining jumping stones leap into the water one last time, completely merging into the medicinal liquid.

This is also one of the signs that this medicine has been refined into a superior product.

In contrast, after Lynn threw the boulder into the pot, it did not bounce back up from the water as usual.

Instead, after bouncing up for the first time, it shattered into many tiny fragments in mid-air!

Monica, who had been watching Lynn's alchemy cauldron closely, shook her head regretfully.

From the very beginning, this was not a fair game.

The stepping stones Lynn used were not only of the lowest quality, but they were also likely tampered with, such as by deliberately chipping small cracks into them, or by soaking them in water and then drying them in the sun beforehand.

Lynn is doomed to lose.
