Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 2256 Pride and Mockery

After carefully inspecting all the medicinal materials and determining their approximate age and potency, Matthew began his preparations.

He started by setting up the two pill furnaces provided by the CAUMP. Next, he followed the steps of pill refining and gradually put all the medicinal pills into the furnace.

"Is that it?"

"I think I made the wrong bet."

"Should we ask for a refund?"

Watching Matthew's slow pills refining technique and comparing him to the other participants with medicinal materials flying everywhere, the audience at the scene and those watching the live broadcast were instantly taken aback.

The bettors who had placed heavy bets on Matthew were especially shocked as they watched anxiously.

As for the eliminated participants from Emsgate, they were filled with pride and disdain.

"No wonder he took so long to arrive here. He's probably afraid of embarrassing himself."

"If it were me, I wouldn't want to come either. With this technique, I would even look up to him if he could produce one pill per furnace."

After all, pill refining was not just about showing off skills.

Having a masterful pills refining technique would allow for better extraction of essence from the medicinal materials and ensure a perfect fusion between different herbs. That was why some people could only refine one pill with the same amount of herbs, while others could refine several.

This was the key.

Meanwhile, the crown prince of Mightwater was sitting among the audience and heard the mockery from the Emsgate crowd. Feeling indignant, he spoke up directly. "What's the use of a flashy display? This is pill refining, not acrobatics."

His words caused the crowd to erupt in laughter.

"What do you know, you ignorant fool? Hahaha, you crack me up."

"I can't take this anymore. Hey, buddy, you must be Matthew's friend, right? Birds of a feather flock together. It seems that Matthew's pill-refining skills aren't that special."

At that moment, Easton couldn't help but tug at the crown prince's sleeve. This situation was indeed a bit embarrassing.

The crown prince also realized this and rolled up his sleeves in anger. "I'll show them who's the fool!"

He was about to charge forward and beat up everyone who had mocked him, but Easton quickly stopped him and pointed to the Martial League guards not far away. "Hey, you're being impulsive. If you beat them up now, they will immediately come to arrest you."

Hearing this, the crown prince of Mightwater looked toward the Emsgate audience and then at the guards. "D*mn it. This is so frustrating."

After cursing under his breath, he could only sit down helplessly while looking at those smug faces.

Meanwhile, Matthew was unaware of everything happening outside the arena. At this point, he had placed all the medicinal materials into the pill furnace. When he closed the furnace lid, he suddenly closed his eyes.

In the palm of his hand, his nimbus transformed into countless thick strands and flew toward the medicinal materials like thousands of arms, instantly decomposing the herbs inside. Once their essences were completely extracted, the remaining medicinal residues were formed into a black pill. As for the essences, they began to rapidly fuse together.

Of course, all of that happened inside the pill furnace, so outsiders were unaware of what was happening.

As time passed, Kamilah was the first to complete his pill, and the other participants also gradually stopped one after another.

After a quick evaluation by the judging panel, the results of the first half of the competition were announced.

"Sky Palace's Matilda Minster refined seven Revitalizing Pills and seven Chamber Opening Pills with excellent medicinal effects and quality." Upon seeing this result, cheers erupted from the audience.

"Wow, no wonder she's the Young Master of Sky Palace. With such results, even those veteran pill refiners would replace it hard to match." "Congratulations! It seems that Sky Palace is in the running to win the competition."

Listening to the compliments from everyone, the elder of Sky Palace couldn't help but stroke his long beard with pride.
