Elder Wang remained silent, which made things very difficult.
After all, Elder Wang is the chief judge, clearly in charge of everything concerning the Great Alchemy Competition. The other judges trust and respect Elder Wang greatly, and they know he would certainly not overlook such matters. Yet, the reason behind Elder Wang's hesitance was a subject of wild speculation among the observers.
At this time, Elder Wang noticed Ding Fan entering. Previously, the affair with Zhang Hao had made Elder Wang somewhat displeased, but upon seeing Ding Fan, his mood lifted instantly. Clearly, Elder Wang had great confidence in Ding Lin, though it wasn't absolute. Elder Wang knew Ding Fan's alchemy level was beyond doubt, but undoubtedly, his youth put him at a disadvantage in this third round of the competition, which aims to assess the overall strength of participating alchemists. Given Ding Lin's young age, his cultivation was definitely at a disadvantage.
