Lin Qi knew in his heart that evidently, this time Elder Wang and several alchemist elders shared the same thoughts as him. After all, the strength Ding Lin demonstrated was unmatched by ordinary alchemists, and evidently, no matter what unexpected events or surprises appeared in this Great Alchemy Competition, they wouldn't affect Ding Lin potentially winning the championship. However, Lin Qi had a headache thinking about the points raised by Sun Long and others, which indeed had valid concerns.
By doing this, Lin Qi had already violated the procedures of the Great Alchemy Competition. He indeed felt powerless to refute their arguments. But Lin Qi knew that even if he breached the procedures of this year's competition, in comparison, a Grade Nine alchemist was extremely significant. Even if not for the sake of the City Lord Mansion, Lin Qi still considered it crucial to build a good relationship with Ding Lin.
