Chapter 951: Pill Prodigy, Kent
"Just who are you?"
The Pill Emperor asked, staring at Kent with widened eyes.
Kent merely smiled and handed over the Ascension Token. "Tell big sister I will be back in three months for the Pill Ascension competition."
"Big sister, as in..."
Kent smiled again, "Pill Monarch Nefeli."
The Pill Emperor remained silent. He stored away the Pill Ascension Token and then retrieved a jade-like crystal. However, this one looked different from the ones for communications. When Kent’s eyes landed on it, he felt the extraordinary nature of the crystal.
So he scanned it using his Enchanted Eyes.
’Long Range Space Teleporter, huh. This must cost a fortune,’ Kent said inwardly, seeing as the Pill Emperor, who could sense the hidden eyes locking on him and Kent.
"So where will you be going?" he asked.
"I will be heading to Planet Nictus, specifically, the Heaven’s Eye sect. But I will be back before the competition."
"Okay." After a brief nod, the crystal glowed, and he vanished from sight.
Kent smiled, seeing most of the people who were keeping eyes on them start to retreat. They saw him hand the token to the man who just teleported away, so there was no need to keep waiting around.
Of course, a few stayed because they were more interested in Kent than the Pill Ascension Token. However, with the token gone, Kent was now more than ready to roam the many worlds waiting for him.
"We should get moving." Kent took Lady Azela’s hand, and they started moving toward a Transfer Channel that would take them to Planet Nictus.

[Yanki Great Pill House]
Meanwhile, Pill Saint had just arrived at the main branch of the Yanki Great Pill House.
There were many Great Pill Houses scattered across the ten Pill Worlds. These families were powerful alchemy families, with many possessing Pill Sovereigns and even a few from the top two Pill Worlds having someone who had reached the Pill Legend stage, the pinnacle rank an Alchemist could attain in the High Worlds.
The Yanki Great Pill House is one of the powerful Pill families in Aerithyne.
The current patriarch is Pill Saint Flura’s father, and she is considered one of his most loved children. This was largely due to her brilliance in alchemy.
At the moment, she just walked into a large hall where her father and a few family heads were having a meeting.
When she entered, some frowned, but her father smiled, looking at her like she was the only thing that mattered.
"Flura, why are you back so soon?" her father asked. "I thought your little challenge still had two weeks before it’s over."
Her father studied her expression and frowned slightly, "Don’t tell me you’ve lost."
Flura smiled weakly, "As a matter of fact, Father, I was defeated by a Pill Grandmaster, no less."
"WHAT!"
Even the elders, who were frowning, couldn’t help but exclaim in shock upon hearing Pill Saint Flura’s response.
"Tell me this is one of your mischievous jokes."
"I am being serious, Father. I lost to a Pill Grandmaster, but I am happy I lost because I learned a lot and gained more than I could ever wish for."
"Unbelievable, to think a genius such as you would lose to a Pill Grandmaster. Just what kind of talent would have the means to defeat you?"
"The kind that can form a low-grade grey pill ring as a Pill Grandmaster."
"WHAT!"
If Pill Saint Flura doesn’t stop, she might just cause her father and the elders to have a heart attack.
"This time, I think you are playing with us, kid." An elder glared at Pill Saint Flura, "Just who do you think we are, to think you can deceive us to cover up your failure?"
Pill Saint Flura smiled, "I am not deceiving anyone, Elder Grant. I was indeed defeated because my opponent was able to form a grey Pill Ring.
I mean, think about it, if both of us concocted a Perfect Pill, then how come I lost? Naturally, I completed first, so even if we both had the same purity, because I completed first, I was meant to be the winner.
But since I am not the winner, it means my opponent’s pill purity was higher than mine, and the only way to achieve that is through Pill Rings.
If you don’t believe me, you can go to the Alliance. The three old monsters were there and witnessed the whole thing. It was also the reason why I accepted the results, for I wouldn’t have believed that kid was a Pill Grandmaster."
"Unbelievable. Just where did this kid come from?" Elder Alban asked.
"Pyris Pill Alliance."
They were left stunned yet again. However, the patriarch was staring at his daughter, looking at the smile on her face. He could tell she wasn’t angry for losing; this only made him want to find out why.
"You said you have gained so much from your duel with this kid, care to tell us what these gains are?" he asked.
Pill Saint Flura smiled, "After the duel, Pill Grandmaster Kent gave me the pill. However, because the three old monsters were interested in it, they took it in exchange for a two-week comprehension period with the Celestial Cloud Feather."
"WHAT!"
This time, Pill Saint Flura giggled, "I wouldn’t have come back here and would have simply entered the cave right after the duel. However, since I have two weeks’ worth of time to spend comprehending my techniques using the power of the Celestial Cloud Feather, I came to ask that you allow me to learn the Nine Flame Pill Art.
With the power of the Celestial Cloud Feather, I believe I will be able to comprehend it fully, and with the Pill Ascension Realm opening, my chances of getting Primordial Flame Spirits will be high.
If I manage to add even just one Primordial Flame Spirit to my Soul Flame, with the two flames that will be at my disposal, I believe my talent will skyrocket."
"There is no doubt about that." All the elders nodded to her words. Having that much time with the Celestial Cloud Feather was like gaining the mind of a Pill Immortal.
"I will allow you to comprehend the Nine Flame Pill Art. However, you must promise me one thing."
"Anything, Father."
"The next time you meet this kid who defeated you, you must defeat him. Can you do that?"
Pill Saint Flura smiled, "I will try my best, Father."
She couldn’t say yes, for she knew Kent was no simple person. He was a prodigy among prodigies.
"You can leave now. I will get you a new Pill Ascension Token, so do well to comprehend the Nine Flame Pill Art."
Within a day, words of the Pill Prodigy called Kent had reached every Pill World, causing many to start doubting themselves.
The idea that a mere Pill Grandmaster was able to form a Pill ring was more than they could take in.
Many who were in doubt after hearing about Kent’s feat and watching the recorded videos started heading to the Yanki Great Pill House to find out if indeed the daughter had been defeated by this unknown Kent.
Of course, after the patriarch himself announced to everyone that his daughter indeed was defeated by Kent and that she lost because her opponent formed a grey Pill Ring, the name Kent went wide-reaching, even words outside the ten Pill Worlds.
And the Pyris Pill Alliance had yet again become a sensation that caused many to start wondering just how a rank 7 Pill Alliance was able to obtain a genius like Kent.
