I Regenerate 10,000 Times Faster

Tyrion's and Donnie's bet ended like a farce. Kayla did not continue to pester Tyrion, especially since she didn't know how to respond, having never been rejected before.

Soon, the third round of the certification examination was about to start. But first, a few more preparations were needed. This was because an F-grade Chemist must be able to control at least three kinds of F-grade serum simultaneously, while upholding a success rate of more than 1%.

In the past, the F-grade serums that were used in the third round of certification were chosen by the apprentices themselves, as long as all three kinds of F-grade serums reached a success rate of at least 1%.

"We have decided to change some of the rules for this certification examination," Aaron announced, having received the order from upper management. "According to the requirements of the upper management, out of the three required F-grade serums, two will be chosen by the apprentices, while the third must be a Atomic Serum," Aaron explained.

The announcement caused consternation among the apprentices.

"Why is the Atomic Serum needed?"

"I am not familiar with the Atomic Serum. What do I do?"

"Ha ha, the Atomic Serum is one of the most common serums. Fortunately, I have am familiar with it."

The abrupt rule change left most of them feeling grossly unprepared, especially since the difficulty level of refining the Atomic Serum was well above average. Of course, some of the apprentices were not too bothered by the new rule, as the Atomic Serum was already familiar to them.

"Atomic Serum?! How can there be such a beneficial coincidence?!" Tyrion smiled.

He immediately understood the intention of the Alchemy Guild, which was to lure him out via the Atomic Serum. Fortunately, Tyrion had been on his guard and was careful to conceal his identity, since he knew that the enhanced Atomic Serum would cause a stir! Also, he had to be extra cautious, as at this time, the upper management of the Alchemy Guild were watching the apprentices' every move.

"Is it really useful to include the Atomic Serum as an examination serum?" Marie inquired.

"Miss Marie, rest assured. I have seen Mr. Fiend refine the fantasy serum. Should I see it again, I am sure that I can recognize him. As such, he will surely give himself away during the refinement process, "Groode said with a serious and confident tone.

This would be the last resort of the top management. If Groode was unable to recognize Mr. Fiend among the apprentices, they would have to make a guess based on their feelings alone.

"I hope you can find Mr. Fiend," Gaffrite said to Groode. Hearing this, Groode felt a sense of unspoken pressure.

...

Meanwhile, the props and pharmaceutical materials at the venue were being prepared...

"Lickeden, even if you can earn a perfect score on the basic knowledge questions, with your limited talent, you surely cannot pass the final round," Donnie said to Tyrion in a harsh tone.

Tyrion let out a laugh and said, "Why, do you still want to bet on it? How about… This time, whoever loses will run naked for ten laps around the Alchemy Guild?"

Hearing this, Donnie's facial expression changed drastically. After all, he had just lost a bet to Tyrion and become a laughing stock. If Donnie was to lose this bet also, his story would definitely be broadcast on the newspaper headlines, thus making him the biggest laughing stock in all of Stanlos base!

"Lickeden, I will not fall for any more of your tricks!" Donnie said.

"Ha ha ha, Donnie! You are not afraid, are you? The young master from the Haus family is afraid to take up a challenge!" Taergarien said with a laugh.

After Taergarien said that to provoke Donnie, he asked Tyrion secretly, "Brother, are you really sure you can beat Donnie? If you lose, you would have to run naked in public!"

"You can rest assured that, if he dares to take the bet, I will make sure he will be the one running around naked," Tyrion responded softly.

After seeing Tyrion's unusual performance in the previous round, Taergarien and others chose to believe Tyrion, as he had also been confident in the last round, which he did win in the end.

"Donnie, you are right. With Lickeden's small talent, the chances of him succeeding are one out of tens of thousands! Why are you not taking betting, since you are so confident of being able to beat him? "Prince asked with a laugh.

"Ha ha, the young master of the Haus family is a coward, who doesn't even have the courage to accept a challenge! So, this what the Haus family is!" Vonn continued to provoke Donnie further, while looking at the noble apprentices with disdain in his eyes. "You nobles are all cowards!"

These words not only agitated Donnie, but they also angered the noble apprentices, who started shouting back.

"Stop being arrogant! How dare you insult us? We will sue you for libel!"

"Master Donnie, take their challenge! This is a great opportunity for you to salvage your reputation. With Tyrion's limited talent, why are afraid of losing?"

Taergarien and several other noble apprentices encouraged Donnie to take the challenge. Donnie looked gloomy, while he pondered this for a while.

If Tyrion was someone with a superb memory, it would be natural to lose to him. But, in the third round, theoretical knowledge would not be sufficient. Instead, it would be a competition based on hands-on experience. In addition to proficiency, the sense for the elements would also be very important.

Comparing Tyrion's five points to Donnie's hundred points in elemental sensing, it would seem nPrincey impossible for Donnie to lose to Tyrion. And, as what others had said, this could be the best chance for Donnie to salvage his reputation.

"Okay! I accept your challenge!" Donnie said with an insidious smile. "The loser will run ten laps around the Alchemy Guild, completely naked!"

Tyrion shook his head and sighed, then said, "Since you are agreeable to the bet, let's sign the agreement. The Alchemy Guild will be our witness and executor for the agreement.

Tyrion then drafted two agreements, which Donnie signed readily.

"Ha ha ha, Lickeden! This time I will win back everything that I lost, and you will be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!" Donnie said with a laugh.
