The Highest Bounty 24 Sa Ze, the Genius

However, Gu Ding did not participate in either. Nevertheless, he became an F-level pharmacologist. In truth, it was Parma who sent his video to the Hermean Alliance, after which it was directly evaluated by the top management of the Hermean Alliance. It was not actually difficult to become an F-level pharmacologist, as all you needed to do was refine qualified F-grade medicines normally. 'Normal' here meant that they did not accept those who had been producing it by luck.

Although F-grade medicine were the most basic medicines, there were not many F-level pharmacologists who could produce extreme-quality F-grade medicines. Those who could produce it at a perfect quality was practically unheard of. Although F-grade medicines were simple, even the B-level pharmacologist, Parma, dared not say that she could produce perfect quality F-grade medicines. This was why after seeing Gu Ding, she persevered in trying to recruit him into the Hermean Alliance. After seeing the video of Gu Ding refining medicine, Parma's teacher, Modican, commented that Gu Ding was "an ungodly talent that would be hard to come by even over tens of thousands of years." This was an extremely high praise.

There were no shortages of genius pharmacologists in the Hermean Alliance. People like Parma, who had passed the B-level pharmacologist examination at the age of 22, were obviously amongst the geniuses. However, she felt that her talents paled in comparison to Gu Ding's. She was very aware that Gu Ding only needed to understand the medicinal properties well enough to go about his task. With enough time to practice, he could easily surpass her.

At this moment, standing on the arena platform, Sa Ze, who was surrounded by a group of people, was also a genius. He was only sixteen years old this year, and, like Gu Ding, was only a F-level pharmacologist. However, he had been able to produce ultimate quality F-grade medicines. Although the chances of successful refinement were only about 20%, it showed that his refining of F-grade medicines had reached an extremely profound level.

As soon as he came on, the other F-level pharmacologists at the arena looked a little downcast. This was because Sa Ze's refining speed was too fast, as the refining of each tube of medicine took less than ten minutes. On top of this, all the medicines refined were of high quality or above. He even refined ultimate quality medicines.

His presence also attracted Gu Ding's attention. The medicine he refined was an F-grade gene enhancer, which was a genuine gene medicine. Gene medicines were usually the most difficult to make amongst all types of medicines of the same level. This was because it involved the separation and extraction of gene chains, which had to be conducted at a microscopic level.

The reason why Gu Ding was interested was because it was very difficult to refine genetic medicine. He liked these kinds of challenges that he had never tried before. On top of that, he had never operated a microscopic instrument and was curious about how to use it. From his perspective, the other party's refining level was indeed very high. Looking at his steady posture, it was difficult to imagine that the other party was the same age as himself, as the former gave off quite a masterful vibe.

"Master Men Ze's disciple is indeed remarkable." There were many ongoing discussions amongst the onlookers.

Gu Ding naturally heard of the character before—Master Men Ze. He was also an level genetic pharmacologist like Modican. Although he was not from Skyriver Sector, his reputation held its own.

When he was young, he was not considered a genius pharmacologist. However, he liked the challenge of refining medicine in the Medicine King Valley of other star sectors. He did not always win in the beginning; it could even be said that he lost more often than not as there were many geniuses in each star sector. However, he would improve after each failure. After countless matches, he became almost invincible. His name was also widely circulated in many other star sectors. His achievements today had a lot to do with the benefits and lessons that came from the various challenges back then.

This disciple was speculated to have been taught by him, and told to go to the Medicine King Valley in different star sectors for training and challenges. However, the difference was that his disciple was born a genius pharmacologist. He had challenged the Medicine King Valley of more than twenty star sectors, and yet, he had never failed in any of them.

Feeling Gu Ding's heartbeat racing, Neptune knew that the young man, Sa Ze, had already roused Gu Ding's fighting spirit. "Your adrenaline levels are spiking, heartbeat accelerating, and your body is in a state of euphoria. Do you want to challenge him?"

"Yeah, help me prepare a list of F-grade gene enhancer materials." 

Gu Ding had so far only refined one kind of medicine, which was the cell enhancer. However, the cell enhancer was only a basic medicine. The gene enhancer, on the other hand, was a genuine gene medicine. The difficulty of refining was based on many interconnected factors. Although Gu Ding knew this, he wanted to know just how much he could really accomplish. He always felt that challenging things could motivate him into doing a good job. Thus, the pressure from Sa Ze might be able to improve his refinement skills.

After a while, Neptune loaded all kinds of relevant information regarding the F-grade gene enhancer into Gu Ding's brain. Gu Ding read the information in the memory one by one. He did not dare to miss anything.

By comparing the refining method in memory with the Sa Ze's refining method, Gu Ding quickly found the key to the refinement. Sa Ze's prescription was flawed. This was the main reason why he could not produce perfect-grade medicine. Another reason was that he had an error in the treatment of the distillation temperature, as well as his ratio of two pharmaceutical materials.

Of course, the error of the distillation temperature and medicinal ratio might be caused by a defect in the prescription. As such, Gu Ding was very impressed that he could still produce an ultimate quality medicine with the flawed prescription.

On top of that, Sa Ze also calmly dealt with the refinement without paying much attention to the audience. His psyche was also remarkable.

On the Skyriver Sector side, more than a dozen pharmacologists lined up to challenge him, but all of them were defeated. Everyone in the crowd started discussing it.

"Why aren't there any high-grade pharmacologists going up?" A young man was a little uncomfortable, he could not bear watch any longer. After all, he was a member of the Skyriver Sector. He felt uncomfortable as he watched the pharmacologists from his star sector losing like children before this person.

"How can they? This is a test for F-level pharmacologists. The other star sectors would say that our Skyriver Sector is not magnanimous for letting a high-level pharmacologist participate." An old man simply shook his head.

"Actually, that's not exactly the case," a middle-aged pharmacologist with a dignified expression on his face spoke up. He was a C-level pharmacologist. "Although Sa Ze is only a F-level genetic pharmacologist, he has refined this gene enhancer called the White Rhinoceros Enhancer, which is the most difficult thing to refine among all F-grade gene enhancers. Even ordinary B-level pharmacologists are afraid to say that they can produce it with ultimate quality. This is because the prescription itself has a certain defect. Sa Ze chose this prescription not only to challenge us, but also to challenge himself. He wants to use challenges to improve his refining rate of ultimate quality medicine."

At this point, Gu Ding had finally digested all the data in his brain.

Therefore, he grinned and walked toward the stage.
