Shi Hao had good reason not to step forward.
Before this, he didn't know how powerful the Explosive Fire Pills he refined were, but now that the results were out, even he was taken aback.
Keep in mind, this was his first attempt at refining, and there were many minor flaws; it was far from perfect.
Yet the power was so formidable.
Why?
Because during the alchemy process, he incorporated the Fire Element from nature—an ordinary procedure for Explosive Fire Pills—but what was different was that the Fire Element he summoned seemed to be of a much higher grade.
Theoretically, even a three-star Pill Master shouldn't be able to do this, because even if their spirit strength was sufficient, they were still constrained by the raw materials.
That's why the Explosive Fire Pill is classified as a two-star elixir.
Now Shi Hao had casually refined an Explosive Fire Pill of such badass power. If he were a little more serious, a little more perfect, the power might even break a hundred.
