Fighting Against the Wind begins with the Dragon Flame

Chapter 37 Furukawa Gut
Lin Yang walked out of the hotel, onto the street, and headed towards the venue where the Alchemist Conference was being held.

At noon, the sun is shining brightly in the sky.

The sun was scorching the earth and the temperature was extremely hot, but it did not suppress people's enthusiasm.

As we got closer to the venue, more and more people gathered around us. These were people who were preparing to go to the venue as spectators.

From time to time, you can see a few alchemists, with their heads held high and chests puffed out, walking slowly in the same direction under the awe and curiosity of the people around them.

Most of the alchemists who were rarely seen in the Gama Empire in the past gathered in the Holy City of Gama at this time. It is said that there are as many as two thousand alchemists participating in the conference alone.

Although due to age restrictions, most of them are first- or second-grade alchemists who are just here for fun, it also shows the appeal of this conference.

When we arrived at the venue, there was already a long queue of people who wanted to enter and watch the conference, and it was extremely crowded.

Looking at the almost completely blocked entrance in front of him, Lin Yang shook his head, looked around, looking for something, and after a moment, walked in one direction.

"Mr. Zhuang, I'm here."

Patting the figure with his back to him, Lin Yang chuckled.

"Lin Yang, you're here. It's time to enter. I went to see you just now and saw a sign on your door, so I didn't call you."

Zhuang Lei turned around and said with a smile.

"I have made some progress in my cultivation, and I was immersed in it for a while."

Lin Yang shrugged and continued:
"Mr. Zhuang, let's go in together."

"Okay, so you really don't plan to attend the conference? It's not impossible to register now, but there are many people who want to see you, the youngest alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire."

"Haha, there are only a few people who know my specific information. Those people might be suspicious. Besides, Master Zhuang, you know my level. I'm just a half-baked second-grade alchemist. If I participate, I won't cause any waves. It's boring."

The two chatted as they entered the venue through the passage reserved for alchemists.

Arriving at the VIP area, Lin Yang looked down and saw that many alchemists had already arrived at the center of the venue and were looking for their own alchemy tables according to their number plates.

There are also rules for sorting the numbers. Generally, they are sorted according to the reported alchemist's grade. The higher the grade, the closer the position is to the center of the venue, and the position becomes the focus of the whole audience.

Lin Yang's eyes kept moving in the conference hall, looking for some shadow. After a while, his eyes looked towards two figures.

Near the center of the venue, two men who looked quite similar were talking to each other.

"Guhe, and the one across from you, is that Gutt?"

Looking at the faces of the two people, Lin Yang murmured softly.

According to the information he had looked up in the Alchemist Guild, Gu He and Gu Te were both third-grade alchemists at this time.

Moreover, from the information that Lin Yang could find, there seemed to be no fourth-grade alchemists participating in this Alchemist Conference, so the positions of the two were very close to the middle.

The original novel says that Gu He won the championship of this Alchemist Conference as a fourth-grade alchemist. It seems that Gu He is the exception.

After winning the championship, he was recruited by the Yunlan Sect. With the support of a large amount of medicinal herb resources, he became a sixth-rank alchemist in more than ten years. His talent as an alchemist was already excellent in the Jia Ma Empire.

However, more than a decade later, when Xiao Yan participated in the Alchemist Conference, many people had talents that surpassed Gu He. This could only be attributed to the appearance of the protagonist Xiao Yan, whose luck was spreading and blessing everyone. Shaking his head, Lin Yang sat in the VIP seat and watched the conference quietly. Today was just the preliminary round of the conference, mainly to select the people who would participate in the finals.

It has to be said that the sight of more than two thousand alchemy furnaces firing at the same time was truly spectacular. As the conference officially began, the alchemy fires ignited, blazing heat waves swept across the venue, and cheers rang out from the audience.

Half a day passed quickly, and the conference had already finished two rounds of competition. There were only eleven alchemists with the ability to refine third-grade elixirs left in the venue.

Lin Yang looked towards the position of Gu He and Gu Te, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

Relying on his keen perception, even in the noisy conference room, Lin Yang could vaguely distinguish some of the conversation between the two.

"Brother, I will definitely be the champion of this Alchemist Conference!"

In the sight, Gu Te was smiling and talking proudly to Gu He.

Although the information registered in the Alchemist Guild is still a third-grade alchemist, he already has the ability to refine some fourth-grade pills.

There were no other fourth-grade alchemists participating in this conference, so he was confident that he would win the championship.

When he thought of the glory of winning the championship and the fame spreading throughout Gama, Gut's face couldn't help but turn red.

Alchemists are also human beings, and naturally they also need vanity and recognition, and this Alchemist Conference is their best stage.

After all, although there are few fourth-grade alchemists, there are still a dozen of them in the Gama Empire, and there has only been one fourth-grade alchemist who won the Alchemist Conference in eight years!
Compared to the extremely excited Gut, Gu He reacted very calmly and just nodded lightly.

His elder brother was competitive, and the two of them started to make pills together. No matter what, Gu Te would compete to become a first-class alchemist, then a second-class, and a third-class.
Gu He had always given in to him, so even though he had the ability to refine fourth-grade elixirs, Gu He had no intention of competing with his brother for the championship.

"So the reason why Gutt hated Gu He in the original novel was because Gu He stole his championship in the Alchemist Conference?"

"He didn't win the championship this time. After more than a decade, he has become an old man. It seems that being defeated by his own brother is a huge blow to him."

Lin Yang in the distance had a strange expression on his face, and recalling the image of the old man Gutt in the original novel, he couldn't help but smile.

"This conference is not very interesting. There are no young fourth-grade alchemists participating. Lin Yang, who do you think will win?"

Zhuang Lei beside him suddenly asked, with a somewhat bored expression on his face.

The competition is restricted to those under 30 years old, but in previous years, alchemists who have just entered the fourth level have participated.

With the genius alchemist as a highlight, the competition was naturally very exciting, but I didn't expect that all the finalists this year were third-grade alchemists.

"I'm optimistic about that Furukawa."

Hearing this, Lin Yang chuckled and said that it would be faster to do the questions if you have the answers. In fact, Lin Yang was planning to bet on Gu He to win the championship as soon as he left the venue.

Although this evenly matched conference has lost a lot of attractions, it has also made the gambling business outside much better, and it should be able to withstand my large bet.

"There's nothing special about this Gu He. Why do you think he will win?"

Zhuang Lei looked at Gu He who was slowly leaving the venue for a long time, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Master Zhuang, the secret cannot be revealed!"

　Suddenly I thought of the story of Guhe and Gute in the original work, and wanted to insert a small plot here. I will post it first and modify it after 0 o'clock. Sorry
