Chapter 2510 The Most Difficult Recipe Yet
Chapter 2510 The Most Difficult Recipe YetAlex waited for his opponent's number to appear on the large display. His opponent, if he remembered the name Greenbow correctly, was a woman with quite an incredible alchemy ability.
She was no doubt a great alchemist whose name was meant to be known by everyone in the world she stayed in. And yet, here at the stage of her life where the greatest alchemists of the younger generation came head to head against each other, she was just another name on the list to be disqualified.
She managed to make an incredible 98% pill, and even that was just not enough. She lost to Alex's 100%.
Alex wondered how the woman felt. He wondered if she blamed herself for not trying harder. Such thoughts couldn't help him now.
He looked at the brackets and sought out the other names. He was interested to know who was knocked out and who had stayed behind.
"OH!" He was surprised to see that both Palesilver and Leafheart had managed to make a 100% pill this time around. That was in addition to Aethersage and Faithseeker, both of whom had also done it.
There were two other names that had done it, one of which was Eightsnow and the other one was Treegold. Both of them had ranked above Alex in the first phase of the competition.
'Interesting,' he thought.
Eightsnow was his next opponent in the bracket.
'This might be fun,' Alex thought.
He had the recipe for the Sound Pill ready to be made, so Alex was certain he wouldn't lose. Still, things might get a little more serious this time around.
For now, it was time to continue with his task of finding the next recipe.
Alex had cultivated for some time, but even when he did so, he still ended up thinking only about the next recipe. While his body was well-rested thanks to that, his mind still hadn't been rested enough.
He had made decent progress by now, so he needed to continue along that path.
The next pill Alex wanted to make was perhaps one of the best ones he had made throughout the competition. It might even be one of the best ones anyone had made in the entire competition yet.
Although, that would remain to be seen afterward.
The idea behind Alex's pill was a follow-up to an earlier idea he had. He had gone through every major ingredient combination that empowered each other, and when he had gone through everything, he looked to do more with it. Instead of empowering each other, however, he found ingredients that were against each other.
He found ingredient combinations that directly opposed each other, like Fire and Metal, Metal and Wood, or Earth and Water, etc. He
The rest of the work was mostly tedious, which Alex did as he tried to find out the recipe that could work. As each hour passed, he got closer and closer to finding the best combination of all, and yet still, he was still quite far away.
It was difficult to find the right way to get the entire energy to balance each other, as without balance, it would destroy the whole thing.
'I could just turn this into an exploding pill if I wanted to,' Alex thought, but he did not want to do that.
As an alchemist, he didn't feel it right to make a pill that was not meant to be consumed by a living being. So, he continued on his task to complete this recipe.
But as hours passed and time moved on, Alex couldn't find what he was looking for before the round ended. There were only six more hours left for this round, so it was time to make the pill for this round, lest he get disqualified while he wasn't paying attention.
So, Alex prepared Memory once again and brought out all the ingredients for the Sound Pill. He went through the recipe one more time, familiarizing himself with the ingredients, and then began making the pill.
And as was expected of Alex by this point, the sky above him rumbled as clouds gathered to judge him for his perfect pill.
