The rules of the competition had put an end to all of their opportunistic thoughts.
They could only hope that the first-year student would be stumped in the first round. If that happened, then they would have an opportunity to win.
They were quite confident about that aspect. After all, they had studied the medicinal ingredients far longer than a first-year student, and they should know more potions than Shen Yanxiao too. Even without trickery, they were sure that they could still defeat Shen Yanxiao.
After the rules and regulations were announced, a blanket of silence enveloped the whole arena.
The content of the competition might have seemed dreadful, but it did cover all the important aspects of herbalism.
It was an excellent opportunity to assess a student's abilities.
