Chapter 726: Not Worthy Even to Carry Shoes
Li Tai felt a surge of secret joy in his heart; he believed he had already secured the victory.
At this moment, he even thought that proposing a best-of-three contest was being overly cautious. He should have settled everything in a single match, decisively crushing Jing Yan beneath his feet, tormenting him thoroughly.
However, this strategy had been set within his family before. Oh well, three matches it would be then! Win the first one and go from there!
Moreover, a best-of-three contest had its advantages; it allowed a more comprehensive defeat for Jing Yan. If the outcome were decided in just one match, perhaps some might think luck played a part. But if Jing Yan lost all three, who could then make excuses for his failure?
Even Hu Donghe, backing Jing Yan, could only keep his mouth shut.
"Fine, Alchemist Li Tai, as you say," Jing Yan replied with half-closed eyes, his expression utterly indifferent.
"Patriarch, how can you let Li Tai seize control?" In the outer circle, an elder from the Yan Family spoke anxiously.
The Yan Family Patriarch and several Yan elders were also present.
This Yan Family elder was clearly also under the impression that Jing Yan was at a disadvantage. Although Hall Master Jing Yan could even refine miraculous elixirs like the Longevity Pill, his skill at Identifying Pills was surely inferior.
Everyone knew that, generally speaking, greater age came with broader experience. In terms of the Alchemy Dao, older Pill Masters had encountered a wider variety of elixirs. It would be one thing if it were an ordinary pill master, but Li Tai was an eighth-level Alchemist from the Alchemy Dao Family, the Li Family!
At over thirty years of age, how many different elixirs could Jing Yan possibly know?
The Yan Family Patriarch gently shook his head; he was equally anxious but saw no solution. They all stood outside the inner circle; it was hard to remind Hall Master Jing Yan of this risk. Moreover, even those like the Yan Family Ancestor, currently inside the inner circle, found it inconvenient to approach Jing Yan. To raise their voices in warning would clearly be even more inappropriate.
