Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Newcomer Challenge Match

Now Peter Brown understood that this newcomer challenge, also known as the newcomer clearance match, was an exam set by the Alchemist of the Alchemy Hospital. The exam also had a gambling element, where if they failed even one part, they would essentially be attacked by the other alchemists, making it a very difficult entry-level challenge.

At that moment, Peter received a notice from Elder Lucas Armstrong to meet him.

Turning to the five women, Peter smiled and said, "Although you’ve made a pledge, if you want to back out now, I can cancel the pledge myself, so you’ll have other opportunities."

After making the pledge, as long as the other party agreed within a certain time, the pledge could still be voided. Peter wanted to see their thoughts on the matter.

Sighing, Lotus Spencer said, "It took me a long time to make a decision, and even if you fail, I won’t regret it. I’ll just accept my fate!"

Isabella Turner laughed, "I feel the same way; even if you become a mortal, I am willing to follow you, admitting that I’m unlucky and never break the oath."

Afterwards, the others expressed their intention not to break the oath.

After coming out of the pool and changing clothes, Peter smiled at everyone and said, "You guys continue to relax; I’ve paid the money. I’m going to see Elder Armstrong now."

As he finished speaking, Peter hurried away.

Watching Peter’s departing figure, Summer Miller turned to the women and asked, "How much hope do you think Peter has?"

Maureen Martin smiled faintly and said, "Have you noticed that Peter has always remained calm? Even after hearing about this match, he didn’t show any emotions."

"You mean?"

"Exactly, I think Peter still has some hidden cards. He doesn’t take this matter to heart!"

"Is he really that awesome?"

"Just watch, sisters, I think we’ve found ourselves a great supporter. The more inscrutable Peter is, the more cards he has up his sleeve. Perhaps he will become a remarkable figure, and being with him would be worth it!"

"This is certainly no trivial matter. We should each use our power to help him with this. It’s about our future."

Cassi Mills got up and hurriedly changed her clothes after saying her piece.

Everyone realized the situation and changed their clothes before leaving.

Peter wasn’t concerned about the thoughts of these five women; he genuinely didn’t care about this matter. Competing in alchemy?

Whenever Peter thought about it, he couldn’t help but laugh. There really wasn’t anyone in this Shire who was better at alchemy than him.

Of course, even if he failed, the worst that could happen to Peter was returning to Earth; there was no need to think too much about it.

Lucas Armstrong appeared as a middle-aged man with a very imposing appearance, not at all like an alchemist.

When Peter was led to him, Armstrong met Peter in a very simple room.

"Greetings, Elder."

Seeing Peter salute, Armstrong nodded slightly and said, "I know about your situation, and I didn’t find out about this challenger match until after the fact."

There was a lot of information within these words. After some careful consideration, Peter realized that the Alchemy Hospital was not completely controlled by Armstrong, and that there were other forces at play.

After sitting down, Armstrong said, "Maxine Nelson is also one of the Elders, and her power is not small; the challenger match cannot be avoided. I asked you here to find out how confident you are."

"I don’t know anything about this; I don’t even know how the match is conducted," Peter replied truthfully.

Armstrong said, "I want to change the content of the match, breaking the rule of Alchemist from the Alchemy Hospital setting the questions. Instead, you will have direct battles. If you are confident, cripple every single one of them!"

"What?" Peter looked at Armstrong in astonishment, not expecting such words from him. If it were true, Armstrong would want him to cripple all the alchemists in the Shire!

Looking at Armstrong, Peter didn’t know what to say.

Seeing Peter’s expression, Armstrong said, "The Alchemy Hospital has long been corrupted, and those who challenge you are unlearned individuals."

Although he said that, Peter still couldn’t understand the meaning behind it.

At that moment, Armstrong made a hand seal and an image appeared, showing several alchemists practicing alchemy.

As each alchemist appeared, Armstrong would introduce their situation in alchemy.

After playing the entire clip, Armstrong said, "Originally, there were thirty-six alchemists in the Alchemy Hospital, but recently, thirty of them were dispatched to the frontline due to the intense battles. The remaining six alchemists have connections and don’t belong to me."

At this point, Peter understood that Armstrong wanted to use him to deal with those alchemists.

Peter had already seen the alchemy situation of the six people, and after seeing it, his confidence in himself increased even more. He really looked down on these six people.

"What’s the current situation with the challenger match?" Peter asked.

Laughing, Armstrong said, "It seems you’ve guessed it. Yes, they want to have a one-on-one match with you. Each match will be a gamble, with the stakes being all the Elixirs each party owns. They don’t want you to complete the task."

"It looks like there’s no way to avoid it!"

"Indeed, you can’t avoid this match. If you don’t have confidence, I can send you to Danxin Cave for closed-door cultivation. However, that would mean being stuck there for at least a hundred years, and I don’t think you can agree to that. So, there’s only one way, and that’s to compete with them."

"Of course, there’s another way. You could convert your wealth into secular gold and silver. I could still keep you safe in the secular world for a long time."

Peter simply replied with a smile, "Actually, I only have one way, and that is to compete with them."

Armstrong said, "That’s up to you. If you do well, it can be your future; if you don’t do well, you might really be out of luck. Think about it carefully!"

Peter knew he owed Armstrong a favor.

"Whatever happens, it doesn’t matter to me." Peter appeared very calm, saying just this one sentence.

Looking at Peter, Armstrong said, "It was worthwhile for me to bring you in from the county; you haven’t disappointed me."

"Peter Brown, if you need any items, just mention them; I’ll support you to the fullest."

Peter shook his head, "It’s not a big deal, it’s just a few alchemists. I can handle this matter."

Armstrong smiled, "No wonder you still have a lot of hidden cards; good thing!"
