Perspective Medical Genius Young Master-Chapter 1702 - 1693: Arrangements Begin

After announcing the contest results, Master Lu stood up and said, "Since the challenge match is over, let’s start the ranking...!"

"Wait a minute!"

Before Master Lu could finish his sentence, Ao Cangsheng suddenly interrupted, "Master Lu, it seems you’ve forgotten that I haven’t used my challenge qualification yet. So this challenge match is not over!"

"You? You still want to challenge?"

Seeing Ao Cangsheng interrupt his words, Master Lu’s face darkened immediately.

Ao Cangsheng snorted coldly, "Master Lu, your words are truly amusing. Why can’t I challenge?"

Seeing Ao Cangsheng again, the faces of the Judgement Department turned gloomy once more.

They had intended to directly start the ranking match and then find any opportunity afterward to kick Ao Cangsheng out of the top twenty.

However, unexpectedly, Ao Cangsheng jumped out and demanded the continuation of the challenge matches.

According to previous rules, Ao Cangsheng indeed still had the opportunity to challenge. Therefore, Master Lu couldn’t refuse Ao Cangsheng’s challenge.

After thinking for a while, Master Lu sneered, "You can challenge, but since you’re in the top three, your challenge qualification must be at the end!"

"Moreover, after discussions in the Judgement Department, three people will be randomly selected from the top twenty and given one challenge qualification each."

"You have to wait until these three have finished their challenges before you can proceed."

Hearing this, many of Ao Cangsheng’s supporters couldn’t help but show anger on their faces.

It was obvious to anyone with eyesight that the Judgement Department was using public office to retaliate against Ao Cangsheng.

However, Ao Cangsheng seemed indifferent to the Judgement Department’s scheming.

"That’s fine, as long as my challenge qualification is preserved, waiting a while is no problem!"

Ao Cangsheng smiled lightly, saying unconcernedly.

"That’s for the best!"

Master Lu nodded, a cold smile on his lips.

After speaking, he motioned for the top twenty refiners to gather at the Judgement Department.

Then, he took out a large box and drew three bamboo sticks from it.

"This box contains twenty bamboo sticks. Each bamboo stick has the name of a refiner inscribed on it."

"I just randomly drew three sticks, and I’ll announce them in front of you! Whoever is chosen will have one challenge qualification!"

Master Lu spoke seriously, holding up three bamboo sticks.

"Zhan Yufei, Luo Su, You Hai, each of you has the opportunity for one challenge. According to this order, you can challenge any opponent in front of you!"

Master Lu’s gaze swept over everyone in front of him, finally landing on the three people on the far left.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bearded man in black clothes stepped forward and pointed at Ao Cangsheng, saying, "I challenge him!"

This man was none other than Zhan Yufei, who ranked twentieth.

Seeing this person, Ao Cangsheng couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, thinking, "This guy, with a face like that, should be slaughtering pigs instead of refining artifacts. Such a waste of talent!"

"Alright! You two get ready for the match!"

Master Lu said happily, looking at Zhan Yufei with a somewhat eerie look.

Ao Cangsheng, of course, understood Master Lu’s intentions—he wanted to use Zhan Yufei to push him out of the top nine.

However, Ao Cangsheng was aware of this but did not expose it.

From now on, he intended to give everyone a surprise, including Master Lu.

Soon, Ao Cangsheng and Zhan Yufei appeared beside the seventh path.

Like before, they decided the duel mode by drawing lots.

And just like before, Ao Cangsheng’s luck was still unfavorable; he drew a red bamboo stick, while Zhan Yufei got a green one.

Looking at Ao Cangsheng, who remained expressionless, Zhan Yufei’s lips curled into a cold smile, "Daring to confront Master Lu, old man, you’re courting death!"

The contest once again took a turn, and Baili Chuanqiong’s face darkened to the extreme.

In the last match, Ao Cangsheng didn’t even forge a soldier and was utterly defeated.

Now the Judgement Department was employing the same trick, would Ao Cangsheng fall into the trap again?

Baili Chuanqiong was both angry and helpless, and along with him, many others were also frustrated and irate.

This blatant scheming against Ao Cangsheng made them feel that the Artifact Refining Holy Scripture had completely lost its flavor.

However, they didn’t want to see Ao Cangsheng fall into the trap and eventually be kicked out of the Artifact Refining Holy Scripture.

So, although they were incredibly angry and frustrated, they still hoped to see this duel, hoping for some kind of miracle.

"Boom, boom, boom—"

After three drumming sounds, the judge announced the start of the match.

Zhan Yufei, who had been arranged to win, naturally had no burden and quickly got into the state.

On the other hand, Ao Cangsheng was still leisurely selecting the Artifact Mold.

"Hmph, no matter how you pretend, old man, I’ll make sure you get kicked out of the Artifact Refining Holy Scripture!"

From a distance, seeing Ao Cangsheng’s sorry state, Master Lu could not help but let out a cold laugh.

Besides Master Lu, Eldest Prince Baili Longyuan’s side also looked pleased and smug.

Without interference from Master Yi, with Ye Xiu’s artifact refining skills, he could undoubtedly win first place in this Artifact Refining Holy Scripture.

"Clang, clang, clang—"

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhan Yufei began forging the Artifact Mold, while Ao Cangsheng was still burning his Artifact Mold.

In this aspect, Zhan Yufei was faster than Ao Cangsheng.

With this advantage, plus the support of the Judgement Department, Zhan Yufei was sure that even if he crafted a defective product, he could surpass Ao Cangsheng.

"What should we do? If things continue like this, Master Yi is sure to lose again!"

Seeing Ao Cangsheng fall significantly behind Zhan Yufei, Chi Ming said anxiously.

"I don’t know either! The Judgement Department targets Master Yi intentionally; without a miracle, the championship might slip away!"

Di Qinglin’s eyes flashed with murderous intent, wishing he could personally kill Master Lu right now.

At the same time, Zhan Tianfu and some other viewers rooting for Ao Cangsheng also felt their hearts tightening with worry.

However, what happened next ignited a flicker of hope in many worried about Ao Cangsheng losing.

Because, after burning the Artifact Mold for a quarter of an hour, Ao Cangsheng began forging quickly.

But his forging speed was something Zhan Yufei couldn’t compare to at all.

To outsiders, what Ao Cangsheng held was not an Artifact Refining Hammer but a rapidly spinning fan.

The fan swept over the Artifact Mold, which rapidly changed amidst the "ding ding dong dong" explosive sounds.

Witnessing this, not only did Zhan Yufei’s face darken, even Master Lu’s expression turned to surprise.

He couldn’t understand how a primary Artifact Fire could successfully burn a top-grade Artifact Mold?

But if it hadn’t been successfully burned, why would Ao Cangsheng begin forging? That would be self-deception!

Unable to understand, Master Lu’s eyebrows furrowed deeply. He was eager to see what trick Ao Cangsheng was trying to pull.

Half an incense stick later, the Artifact Mold in Ao Cangsheng’s hand had already taken the form of a War Soldier—a Longsword.

Meanwhile, Zhan Yufei, who started forging the Artifact Mold first, still held an irregular long strip.

Zhan Yufei could no longer maintain his smile because he suddenly sensed that he might lose this duel.

The more anxious and fearful he became, the less accurate his swings with the Artifact Refining Hammer. Several times, due to his distracted state, Zhan Yufei slammed the Artifact Refining Hammer directly onto the Artifact Furnace.

"Zhan Yufei, what are you doing? If you don’t want to compete, just get out early!"

Seeing Zhan Yufei’s timidness before the fight, Master Lu burned with anger.

For a moment, he even forgot about his relationship with Zhan Yufei and openly reprimanded him.
