Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1815: Chapter 1814: Can’t Hide It, Really Can’t Hide It!

Wang Xiuxin’s face at this moment had turned incredibly ugly—he genuinely hadn’t expected Dong Lin’s test results to actually reach eight stars.

His own four-star score, in comparison to the eight stars, was truly a difference as vast as cloud and mud, not worth mentioning.

Beside him, Qin Yitian was also deeply shocked.

”Eight stars, actually eight stars! The same talent as my brother, so incredible, so incredible.”

Looking at the person she admired and supported, recommended to come here, achieving such fantastic results, one could only imagine how proud and delighted she felt.

An Lan was similarly overwhelmed with excitement, clenching his fist and saying to Wang Xiuxin, ”Hypocritical Wang Xiuxin, still arrogant now?”

”Just a four-star score earlier, and you were already so cocky. Now my Brother Dong Lin directly tested out an eight-star score. Straight up crushed you!”

Wang Xiuxin’s face turned even uglier as he retorted stubbornly, ”This is only the first round!”

”If his second test doesn’t reach three stars, then the first round’s eight stars would mean nothing.”

”I don’t believe his fire-control ability can meet the standard! Let alone surpass mine!”

Upon hearing these words, their excitement and joy momentarily cooled down.

As Wang Xiuxin had said, this test required passing both rounds with scores of three stars or higher.

If one round failed, then even an eight-star score in the other round would result in elimination.

Elder Qingfeng also calmed himself down at this moment, nodding and saying, ”An eight-star score in the first round demonstrates your extraordinary sensitivity to herbs—truly a genius among geniuses.”

”But the question remains—can you control fire? Do you possess fire-control talent?”

”If so, even a three-star score would qualify you to bypass one year of evaluation at the Preparation Camp and directly be recruited into the Alchemy Hall.”

Upon hearing Elder Qingfeng’s words, Wang Xiuxin’s complexion grew even darker.

At the same time, he began desperately praying in his heart: ”Please, let Dong Lin fail fire control! Let him not have any fire-control talent!”

”I am willing to sacrifice Lin Tiance’s lifelong bachelorhood in exchange for his failure in the assessment!”

”Please, grant my wish!”

One wonders if Lin Tiance would kill him if he knew about this ’poisonous vow’ made on his behalf.

At this moment, Lin Dong was already walking toward the testing station for fire control.

His examination process was identical to Wang Xiuxin’s.

Both involved controlling flames to refine five medicine pots.

Lin Dong now began refining herbs by controlling the flame under the first medicine pot.

Earlier, during the first round of testing, he had deliberately held back. Had he not done so, his completion time would have been faster and his performance even more flawless.

At that time, his score would likely surpass eight stars, reaching a terrifying nine stars.

However, if he were to truly score nine stars in the test, it would exceed even the Dan Alliance Leader Qin Feng’s record. That would make him stand out far too much, which for someone with a hidden identity like his would bring more harm than benefit.

Fortunately, he had held back, scoring just the same as Qin Feng’s eight stars in the past.

But even then, Lin Dong believed it was still too conspicuous.

Now, for fire control, he needed to hold back even more.

He absolutely couldn’t draw too much attention.

At this moment, he deliberately refined the first medicine pot’s herbs in an unhurried and slow manner.

Moreover, he intentionally made one mistake.

Even so, he only took three minutes to complete the refinement of that pot.

This pace was five times faster than Wang Xiuxin’s fifteen minutes!

”Wha... How is this possible? He’s actually this skilled at fire control too.” Wang Xiuxin was completely stupefied.

As for Elder Qingfeng, his eyes burst forth with radiant brilliance. His gaze was akin to discovering an unparalleled, flawless jade!

”Amazing! He truly can control fire. And his fire-control talent is extraordinary!”

”This is an unparalleled genius in alchemy!”

As he spoke, Lin Dong continued controlling the flame to refine the remaining four pots of herbs.

For each pot, he deliberately made one mistake, slowing down by half the time intentionally.

Eventually, he finished refining all five pots of herbs.

The total time he spent was twenty minutes.

Compared to Wang Xiuxin’s over fifty minutes, he was nearly three times faster.

By now, Wang Xiuxin was utterly numb.

He had completely lost the words to speak, his jealousy had consumed him to the point where his face had turned purple.

Meanwhile, Elder Qingfeng excitedly strode toward Lin Dong.

”Let me assess your score!” Elder Qingfeng said impatiently, eagerly beginning the evaluation.

After checking thoroughly, Elder Qingfeng froze in place.

”This... These five pots of herbs have all been refined successfully. Perfect, absolutely perfect!”

”With a time of twenty minutes and only five mistakes, all five pots refined successfully... The score is seven stars!”

Elder Qingfeng finally announced Lin Dong’s fire-control score as seven stars!

”A seven-star score—this was only achieved by our Alliance Leader in the past! You actually matched our Alliance Leader again!”

”Heavens, an unparalleled genius, truly an unparalleled genius!”

As he spoke, he hurriedly turned to an Alchemy Hall disciple and said, ”Quick, go and summon the Alliance Leader! Tell him that today, during the Dan Hall test, we’ve discovered an alchemy prodigy with unmatched talent!”

”His two abilities parallel those of the Alliance Leader’s past achievements!”

He spoke with overwhelming excitement.

The disciple, upon hearing these words, immediately dashed toward the Main Hall to report this matter to the Alliance Leader.

During the Dan Hall’s alchemy talent testing, anyone achieving two scores of five stars or higher would warrant the Alliance Leader’s personal attention.

This is because such monstrous talent requires the Alliance Leader himself to bestow membership into the ’Dan Alliance.’

Now, Lin Dong’s first test achieved an eight-star score, while his second test achieved a seven-star score. These terrifying scores were on par with the past record of Alliance Leader Qin Feng.

Such an individual had to be reported to the Alliance Leader!

The Alliance Leader cherished talent deeply; he would undoubtedly be ecstatic upon hearing that such a prodigy emerged in the Dan Alliance today.

Qin Yitian, at this moment, also walked over with a face full of joy. She hadn’t expected her recommendation, Dong Lin, to demonstrate such heaven-defying talent.

”Dong Lin, I knew I didn’t misjudge you. Your talent has actually matched my brother’s past achievements. In the future, you will surely become a great alchemist.” Qin Yitian said with a broad smile.

Elder Qingfeng exclaimed excitedly, ”Miss Yitian, you’ve truly brought a treasure to our Dan Hall and Dan Alliance.”

”This is a once-in-a-century alchemy prodigy, just like our Alliance Leader.”

An Lan and Zhang Feng were equally ecstatic.

”Hahaha, Brother Dong Lin is awesome. First test eight stars, second test seven stars. Hahaha, who was it earlier that scored two four stars and was strutting around?”

”Still cocky now?”

Her words were clearly mocking Wang Xiuxin from before.

At this moment, Zhang Feng, filled with admiration, couldn’t help but say, ”Mr. Dong Lin is incredible. With talent like his, his future accomplishments in the Dan Alliance range from being an elder at the very least to possibly becoming the Deputy Alliance Leader, second only to one person!”

Everyone was thrilled for Lin Dong, their faces beaming with excitement and pride.

Only Wang Xiuxin’s expression resembled that of someone who had eaten dirt—it was unbearably unpleasant.

At this moment, he was trembling with jealousy.

”Damn it, damn it, why couldn’t such results belong to me!”

At this moment, all the joy he had felt from passing his own test was entirely gone!

As for Lin Dong, watching their reactions, he sighed inwardly and couldn’t help but think:

”Sigh, I held back so much already, yet my results still managed to shock them this much.”

He truly had tried his best to be subtle.

Yet, even so, he still scored heaven-defyingly like Qin Feng in the past.

He really wished to keep a low profile, but alas, holding back couldn’t hide anything.

Sigh, his strength simply wouldn’t allow it!

It couldn’t be concealed, truly couldn’t be concealed.
