1803 Becoming Highly Popular! The Challenges Of Being A Ninth-Level Grandmaster! (3)
âLetâs not dwell on this anymore. Letâs think of how we can remedy the situation now. I disagree with making someone like him our enemy,â Zhulong Hao said. âFortunately, itâs not yet beyond redemption. It hasnât escalated to the point where it canât be salvaged.â
âThen letâs continue with our original plan. However, the price we have to pay now will probably be much higher,â Zhulong Shuang said helplessly. She had great confidence initially, but now, it wasnât necessarily the case.
âWerenât you very confident?â Zhulong Hao sneered.
âIâm still confident,â Zhulong Shuang chuckled.
âThen Iâll wait and see.â Zhulong Haoâs eyes flickered as he left with Zhulong Shan.

Many people from the other factions also stayed behind. It was evident they werenât willing to give up like this
After a while, Wang Teng and the grandmasters arrived at the main hall of an alchemy room. They then sat down and introduced themselves.
âGrandmaster Wang Teng, my name is Dong Yutang. Iâve been in the academy for many years. Iâm a ninth-level grandmaster now,â The middle-aged grandmaster introduced himself.
âA ninth-level grandmaster!â Wang Teng was shocked. He didnât expect this grandmaster to be at the ninth level. That was extraordinary.
âGrandmaster Dongâs profound mastery of alchemy is truly admirable. I will have much to learn from you in the future,â Wang Teng praised.
As the saying goes, respect other people and you will naturally get respected. Moreover, he was a ninth-level grandmaster and had a chance of reaching the divine level in the future. Wang Teng naturally had to pay more attention to him.
âHahaha, to receive praise from Master Wang Teng is an honor for me.â Dong Yutang smiled happily. Then, he pointed at a chubby man beside him and introduced himself, âThis is Grandmaster Pu Yuanzhong. Heâs not bad either. Heâs an eighth-level grandmaster!â
âAh, Old Dong, you flatter me. My skills are much worse than yours.â Grandmaster Pu Yuanzhong smiled at Wang Teng and waved his hand.
âGrandmaster Pu!â Wang Teng smiled at him. Birds of a feather flock together.
Grandmaster Dong was at the ninth level while this person was at the eighth level. Their skills wouldnât be too far off.
âThis isâ¦â
Just as Dong Yutang was about to introduce the third grandmaster, the other party smiled and said, âIâll do it myself. My name is Cecilia. Iâm also an eighth-level grandmaster!â
This bright and beautiful female grandmaster was an eighth-level grandmaster. It was surprising.
âGrandmaster Cecilia!â Wang Teng nodded at her.
Three grandmasters â one ninth-level and two eighth-level. Such a lineup was probably extremely rare and extraordinary amongst the academies.
After the introduction, they started chatting. Grandmaster Dong Yutang and the others were very curious about Wang Tengâs alchemy skills. They couldnât help but interview him.
âGrandmaster Wang Teng, which level are you at?â
âI just reached the grandmaster eighth level,â Wang Teng replied honestly.
âGrandmaster eighth-level!!!â Dong Yutang and the other two exchanged glances. They were unable to hide the surprise in their eyes.
âThis is unbelievable. We thought you were at the peak of the grandmaster level.â Cecilia exclaimed.
âThatâs right. Youâve refined grandmaster-level pills 12 times in three consecutive days. From what we saw, there are even elixirs above the grandmaster seventh-level. Even a peak-level grandmaster might not be able to do that.â Pu Yuanzhong nodded in agreement.
âI have yet to reach the peak of the grandmaster level, but I have some confidence in making a ninth-level grandmaster pill,â Wang Teng said.
The three of them widened their eyes when they heard Wang Tengâs words.
Refining a ninth-level grandmaster pill with the attainments of an eighth-level grandmaster!
They didnât express doubt, but there was no shortage of astonishment in their hearts.
Some alchemists could refine pills beyond their level, but they were few and far between. Only those with exceptionally profound knowledge of alchemy could achieve such feats.
Grandmaster Wang Teng was probably such a person.
He made grandmaster-level pills 12 times in three days without any failures. They had to believe that he could do it.
âThe profound expertise of Grandmaster Wang Teng is truly admirable. We are humbled, truly humbled,â Grandmaster Dong Yutang couldnât help but express his genuine admiration. He was sincerely amazed, even more surprised than when he first heard that Wang Teng was at the peak of the grandmaster level.
âMay I ask how old you are?â Grandmaster Cecilia sized him up with her black eyes. She was very curious and couldnât help but ask.
âLet me think. Iâm probably in my early twenties,â Wang Teng pondered for a while and replied.
The universe did not keep track of the years. Although he hadnât been in the universe for long compared to other martial warriors, he couldnât recall his exact age very well.
Silence.
âPfft!â Grandmaster Pu Yuanzhong spat out his mouthful of tea when he heard Wang Tengâs words.
Both Grandmaster Dong Yutang and Grandmaster Cecil remained silent, exchanging glances with each other.
âGrandmaster Wang Teng, how old did you say you were?â Cecilia asked again.
âIâm in my early twenties. Iâm pretty sure Iâm not more than 25 years old,â Wang Teng touched his chin and replied.
Pu Yuanzhong coughed a few times and said, âGrandmaster Wang Teng, you startled me. Are you truly in your twenties?â
âItâs true. I wonât lie to you about this,â Wang Teng replied.
âUnbelievable.â Cecilia took a deep breath to calm herself down.
âThatâs right. Grandmaster Wang Teng, you are very young. All of us are over a thousand years old.â Dong Yutang sized him up with a strange gaze. It was hard to fathom that the grandmaster before them was actually younger than their descendants.
