The Rise of a Master It Starts With Rejection novel Chapter 993

Aside from Ezra and Dickson, many others were waiting. All were accomplished martial artists who could easily wait for several days.

Among them were the Brennan brothers, Colin and Johnny. Their cousin, Josie, was participating in the assessment.

"Johnny, could there be problems? Isn't this too risky?" Colin fidgeted nervously, his eyes darting like a thief's toward Ezra. His voice trembled even through the telepathic communication.

"Shut up! Is this something we can control? Who knew Mr. Whitwell would make such a promise? Every risk is worth it."

Colin fell silent, though his heart remained unsettled.

Harmony Clinic provided herbs to alchemists, but that came with limitations. While most pills used commonly available ingredients, the particularly precious herbs were typically distributed based on merit or other ranking systems.

Thus, Ezra's sudden announcement of such a reward needed no elaboration on its value.

Three days passed, and the previously bored crowd grew alert.

The required pill for this assessment was the Phantom Mist Pill. When used during escape, it could generate a fog covering nearly two miles. It would not only block vision but also conceal one's presence from getting detected.

Everyone's attention peaked because even veteran alchemists needed at least two and a half days to create the Phantom Mist Pill. For these candidates, three days would be the absolute limit, and that was only for those with exceptional talent.

Johnny remained silent. No matter how impossible it seemed, it was reality. They had not expected this wildcard to appear. Hopefully, he wouldn't disrupt their plans.

As they walked toward the center, Felix remained unbothered. After all, it was simply wrong to think that he should be the only outstanding person in the world.

Josie, however, was less accepting. Her eyes filled with doubt and disdain, nearly spelling out "unworthy" on her face. How dare someone match her pace, especially this nobody she had seen with Barry yesterday?

"Excellent! Two people have managed to finish at such speed. It's truly a blessing for Harmony Clinic." Ezra stood up, beaming.

As the chief of the clinic, he naturally hoped for the organization's prosperity. The more talented alchemists there were, the better.
