The Strongest Dandy in the City Chapter 2401 - 2390: Second Floor at the Highest Difficulty

Outside the Medicine Tower.

The crowd gazed at the scene that appeared.

The atmosphere was eerily silent.

From the past to the present, the first layer of the Medicine Tower has always been focused on testing fire control abilities, while the trials of the second and third layers change each time, so everyone outside the Medicine Tower knows that as long as you can control five flames, you can pass the first layer.

Controlling flames is extremely important for an Alchemist, but to control multiple flames simultaneously is very difficult. Three hundred years ago, Li Wunian could only control seven flames on the first layer!

As for the ancestors of the Medicine Saint Hall, Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong, their fire control abilities could only handle a dozen or so flames at most.

But the youngster who just walked into the Medicine Tower controlled one hundred flames simultaneously!

This is legitimately controlling a hundred flames!

If the images from inside the Medicine Tower weren’t shown outside, no one would believe such an absurd event.

Someone can control a hundred flames? It’s simply a joke.

But now that they have seen it with their own eyes, they had to believe it. Their gazes were fixed, unblinking, on the image displayed outside the Medicine Tower.

Ye Chenfeng’s fire control ability left them utterly astounded; even the ancestor of the Medicine Saint Hall could only control a dozen different flames simultaneously!

One hundred flames controlled at once, such a scene is incredibly shocking.

"Who exactly is this kid? And what’s up with the Medicine Tower today, why does the staircase to the second layer not appear?"

"Looks like we all missed it. Back then, Li Wunian controlling just seven flames was already remarkable. Now, this kid is controlling a hundred flames at once. Li Wunian’s fire control can’t even compare to a toenail of this kid. Are we witnessing the rise of a new Alchemy genius?"

"Is such a person still called a genius? He should be called an Alchemy prodigy that’s hard to come by even in ten thousand years. For the staircase to the second layer to be delayed, could it be intentionally done by the Medicine Saint Hall?"

...

Discussion in front of the Medicine Tower became fervent; almost everyone was intrigued.

Ghost Venerable, hidden in a corner of the crowd, had his face concealed under a hood, eyes emitting a green glow while evil qi swirled around him. An ant who he dismissed without care suddenly controlled a hundred flames on the first layer? This inexplicably angered him.

When Ghost Venerable challenged the Medicine Tower, he only barely controlled five flames on the first layer. Regarding fire control ability, he was nothing compared to Ye Chenfeng.

This feeling made Ghost Venerable grow more and more enraged, with his Divine Venerable Realm aura continuously rising.

Cheng Yuanmu, Cheng Yiyao, the old steward, Cheng Meizhen, Zhang Chengwen, and Zhang Zhixing were all equally shocked, unable to close their mouths upon seeing Ye Chenfeng control a hundred flames. They could have never anticipated such a scene appearing.

This is controlling a hundred flames!

Cheng Yuanmu and the others had also heard the story from three hundred years ago about the exceptional talent, Li Wunian, who controlled seven flames on the first layer. As for the ancestor of the Medicine Saint Hall’s ability to control a dozen flames, they knew it too.

But these people’s fire control abilities simply couldn’t be compared to Ye Chenfeng’s.

Zhang Chengwen, who had always wanted to embark on the path of Alchemy, stammered, "Control, control a hundred flames? How, how did he do it? Could it be, could he already be an Alchemist of exceptionally high grade? That’s impossible, right? He’s so young, how could his Alchemy rank be so high already!"

Cheng Yuanmu and Cheng Yiyao were finding Ye Chenfeng increasingly unfathomable. Every time they thought they were about to see through Ye Chenfeng, he would reveal another layer, and all they seemed to grasp was the tip of the iceberg.

Zhang Zhixing, the old ancestor of the Zhang family, suppressed his inner shock, eyes gleaming, and muttered to himself, "The Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan is truly the Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan. How could the abilities of our Dragon Clan Leader be something you common folk could comment on, it’s simply ludicrous."

Zhang Zhixing felt an inexplicable sense of pride, possibly due to the trace of Dragon Clan blood in his body!

However, Zhang Zhixing was also unsure about Ye Chenfeng’s Alchemy abilities until now, and suddenly became full of confidence in Ye Chenfeng.

At this moment.

Ye Chenfeng, situated in the first layer of the Medicine Tower.

He maintained his aura at the Earth God Realm, continuously controlling a hundred flames.

No more flames emerged from the walls around the first layer, and the staircase to the second layer still hadn’t appeared.

Ye Chenfeng was one hundred percent sure that the people of the Medicine Saint Hall were causing trouble, and he shouted, "Is this how the Medicine Saint Hall treats those who come to challenge the Medicine Tower? You clearly only need to control five flames to pass, yet here I am controlling a hundred flames, and still no staircase to the second layer?"

Inside the Medicine Saint Hall.

In that deep stone chamber.

Chang Baiwu, Yu Mingsong, and Li Wunian, watching the scene displayed before them, clearly heard Ye Chenfeng’s words.

At this point.

Chang Baiwu and Yu Mingsong finally came back to their senses. However, upon hearing Ye Chenfeng’s words, both of their brows furrowed tightly, unconsciously feeling Ye Chenfeng was too arrogant, as if the Medicine Saint Hall meant nothing to him.

"Controlling a hundred flames, what a feat that even I can’t match. We’ve already maxed out the difficulty of the first layer in the Medicine Tower, and his tone was clearly mocking. If he continues to show competence in other aspects of Alchemy, he’ll almost certainly pass through the Medicine Tower."

"But allowing him to pass like this might be detrimental to the prestige of our Medicine Saint Hall. We will also increase the difficulty of the second layer to the maximum. If he fails to pass the Medicine Tower, we’ll then appear, making an excuse that there were issues and compensate him generously, possibly even accepting him as a disciple. At that time, he won’t complain we targeted him."

"After all these years, a genius has finally appeared again. Let’s hope that he isn’t just outrageously talented in fire control alone."

Chang Baiwu spoke slowly, his Spiritual Energy fluctuating as he re-established a connection with the Medicine Tower, making the staircase to the second layer appear.

"Chang, that’s a great idea. This kid controlled a hundred flames on the first layer. If he successfully passes the Medicine Tower and then joins our Medicine Saint Hall, would he be able to disrespect anyone in the Hall?" Yu Mingsong also nodded in agreement.

Li Wunian remained silent from beginning to end.

And within the Medicine Tower.

The staircase to the second layer finally appeared, though Ye Chenfeng did not know that the difficulty of the second layer’s trial had been deliberately increased to the maximum.

The flames on the first layer gradually disappeared one by one as Ye Chenfeng stepped onto the staircase to the second layer.
