The Battle Through Heaven
Test, Mysterious Man with Grey Cloak.
Xiao Yan's face calmed down as he looked at the pill that came out of the cauldron. His palm released a suction force that pulled him into his palm.
As soon as the pill entered his hands, the remaining bit of sand finally fell. In the large open ground, hundreds of red lights, behind the alchemists who were still not finished refining pills, lit up.
Disappointedly looking at the flashing red light, the alchemists smiled bitterly and took back their respective cauldrons, their faces despairing as they exited the square.
Standing behind the green table, Xiao Yan watched the contestants retreat one after another. His eyes looked around, somewhat shocked at his discovery. This was only a first round assessment, yet unexpectedly a third of the participants had been eliminated. He sighed as he thought about the tightness and rigor of the Grand Meeting.
Playing the pill in his hand, Xiao Yan turned his head towards the nearby Liu Ling. This person smiled at the pill in his hand, his entire face was full of proud colors. He looked at Xiao Yan, his pill continued to be grasped in his hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. Yan Xiao, ah you are really lucky. Unexpectedly you managed to refine the pill at the very last moment. You have the best score for the internal test, so if you fail to pass even this round, it will be a big joke. "
Looking at Liu Ling's victorious appearance, Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said, "Anyway, someone will be considered to have passed all this time smooth. Whether it was completed at the first or last moment made no difference at all. "
"Sir. Yan Xiao seemed to be deceiving himself and others. In this Grand Meeting, attended by innumerable incredible Alchemists, refining at the fastest speed in an undeniable skill. " Liu Ling laughed. He was naturally unwilling to let Xiao Yan reduce his achievements.
"Ha-ha, maybe .." Xiao Yan shrugged because he no longer wasted his words on Liu Ling. He turned to look at the Little Princess and smiled. Looking at the VIP seats, he looked at Fa Ma, waiting for his turn to speak.
"Hu."
In the VIP seat, Ao Tuo exhaled heavily. He used his sleeves to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead. He faced Frank on the side whose face was also filled with cold sweat and said with a bitter smile, "No matter what this person does, he likes to continue doing it in a very thrilling way. Does he not know how to consider us parents? We don't have the kind of strong heart he has for soul-stirring things like this. "
Frank also had a face with a bitter smile. Of course, on top of that bitter smile was a hint of relief and excitement, "But fortunately, he managed to clear the test at the last moment. Otherwise, it would be a great shame if the person with the best result in the internal test turned out to have failed to get past the first half "
Hearing this, Ao Tuo felt the same way as he nodded his head. If it really happened, then it wouldn't be fun. He would instantly pack up and return to Black Rock City …
Fa Ma stood in place in front of the platform. He looked down from above and saw the whole field open. His gaze swept over, staring at the place where a third of the competitors had been eliminated. Nodding with a faint smile, Fa Ma's hand pressed down on something imaginary. Immediately, the noisy ground began to slowly calm down.
"Congratulations to all of you who are still standing in the square. You more or less managed to pass the test for the first round; however, it has not completely ended "Fa Ma said with a smile," I think everyone should also know that there are some sneaky little friends who like to make things weird. It might seem that they have managed to purify the medicinal pill that looked round on the outside but they might not have the slightest healing properties. In essence, such creations do not even have a little connection with the word ‘pil penat’ Therefore, it is, the next thing we need to do is test the ‘Pil Bone’ that you have all perfected and see if it has already reached the required level stated on the drug formula "
Fa Ma's slightly hoarse voice slowly rang out in everyone's years, "Now, can all the competitors look for the green-colored button located in the lower left corner of your green stone table and press it."
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's gaze swept across the stone table and finally stopped at the lower left corner that was not very visible. He was somewhat stunned to realize that there were several small, different colored buttons scattered there. His finger followed the instructions and stopped at the green-colored button before gently pressing it.
The moment the button was pressed, the bright and clean stone table suddenly shook slightly. On its surface, a slate slowly protruded out. After being raised about half a foot, it slightly sunk and finally gave rise to a small black hole.
"This is a testing machine. Place the ‘Bone Growing Pill’ that you have perfected into it. If you have met those requirements, the green light will flash on the jade mirror in front of the table. If you fail to meet the requirements, it will flash a red light: it indicates a failure. The result of the failure is that you have to exit the competition In addition, the brighter the green light, the closer the effectiveness of your ‘Bone Growing Pill’ to the original one described in the medicinal formula. On the other hand, the brighter the red light Well, on the contrary the further away your pill is from the actual ‘Bone Growing Pill’. It also implies that what you made was Danwan who did not have the slightest effect. Of course, if it could be used to satisfy hunger, it would at least be a little useful "
Hearing the funny jokes that sounded in the air above the open ground, laughter came out from the audience seats and VIP seats. However, within the open ground, there were quite a number of alchemists whose expressions suddenly changed …
"Haha, okay. Everyone, start "
As he stroked the round medicinal pill gently with his fingers, Xiao Yan calmly stared at the dark black-colored hole of the test machine. He did not rush to put the pill in. Instead, his gaze swept around him.
At this moment, there were already some alchemists who had started disposing of their medicinal pills to the testing machine. Not long after that happened, the open square suddenly became very colorful. Strong and weak green and red lights intertwined as they glittered. Each one represents joy or gloom
"A nonsense testing machine ..." A second-rate alchemist with a dark expression furiously glared at the flickering red light from the jade mirror. The red light there was the densest among the entire open ground. Hence, countless stunned gazes were thrown at this gloomy-faced young man.
After smashing his fists violently onto the stone table, the alchemist returned the medicinal cauldron into his storage ring and descended from the platform while cursing under the observation of countless gazes. With a green face, he gritted his teeth as he walked out of the open ground.
"Continue doing this messy absurd examination Will the serious refining of medicinal pills kill people? A group of old men who will not die I used all my efforts to combine those medicinal herbs together. However, you actually gave me another test. You provide a medicinal formula that has no information whatsoever other than its name, strain what … "
Xiao Yan stared at the tier two alchemist who had come out from a place in front of him. When he heard an extremely furious curse from his mouth, Xiao Yan could not help but feel unable to laugh or cry. He had not expected this kind of clown to actually pass the soul-shaking test earlier.
After this round of tests, there were at least nearly a hundred alchemists who left the ground open with green or red faces.
"Ke Ke, Mister Yan Xiao, why don't we do it together" Little Princess threw the medicinal pill in her hand and suddenly spoke with a smile to Xiao Yan.
"Anything will be done ..." Xiao Yan indifferently shrugged his shoulders. He looked at Liu Ling whose eyes were fixed on him. Right now the scent of the contest from the other party was extremely concentrated …
Xiao Yan smiled. The medicinal pills from the three were thrown into the dark black hole of the test machine at about the same time.
The moment the three of them inserted their medicinal pills, countless gazes were immediately thrown into this most eye-catching place. Everyone wanted to know who among the three, who were clearly considered top-tier competitors, who could refine medicinal pills better than the others.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The jade mirror was rather silent. A moment later, a slightly muffled sound erupted and three brightly colored green light pillars suddenly shot out from the stone table in front of the three of them. The density of one of the green-colored lights was clearly much denser than the green light that had appeared in the open field earlier.
Among the three green lights, the left is slightly pale, the right is slightly better while the central green light pillar is already green like an emerald. The color is very attractive.
"Wow a very thick color." As they looked at the emerald like a pillar of light, many surprised sounds from the audience were emitted endlessly.
"Haha, Mister Yan Xiao really has a well thought out plan. Even though you use the most time, the effects of this Pill of Your Medicine are the best. Yue-er admitted defeat. " The Little Princess watched the emerald light pillar in front of Xiao Yan with beautiful eyes that were shocked. He then shook his head and sighed.
I'm just lucky.
Xiao Yan smiled recklessly and turned his head around. When he saw Liu Ling's somewhat dark expression, he shrugged with a smile and said, "Sorry, Master Liu Ling."
The corner of Liu Ling's mouth twitched. He took a deep breath, turned his head and stared intently at the jade mirror that was emitting a green light. His heart suddenly had the urge to smash him to pieces.
"Ke Ke, Yan Xiao is indeed at the top level." Fa Ma said with a smile as he looked at the three pillars of bright light.
"If it wasn't for the little guy's purple flames suddenly disappearing right now, I thought he would refine a medicinal pill before Liu Ling. Hee hee, I have already said that the purification abilities of these little ones are not something that these children can compare with. " Hi Bo Dong proudly laughed.
Fa Ma smiled. He was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. A soft cry came out from his mouth. His gaze swept across the vast open ground and finally stopped at a far corner. The human figure that was entirely wrapped in a long gray robe slowly dropped the medicinal pill in his hand onto the testing machine.
"That person ..." Fa Ma's old eyes narrowed. A glint shone in those murky eyes. His finger gently tapped on the guardrail as he softly said, "That guy seems a little strong …"
Oh? Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong and Jia Lao were slightly surprised. Their gazes were instantly fixed on the gray-robed person. Immediately, they frowned and hesitantly asked, "What's with him are you finding?"
"The two of you are not alchemists, therefore your Spiritual Perception is not very clear. But from what I felt, that person's Spiritual Strength was probably much stronger than Liu Ling, Yue-er and even Yan Xiao. Among those in the open ground below, his Spiritual Strength should be the strongest. I remember that when Gu He participated in the Grand Meeting Alchemist back then, his Spiritual Strength was not even this strong "Fa Ma shook his head. He knit his brows gently and stared intently at the ground below. A moment later, a bright green-colored pillar of light suddenly shot out from the stone table in front of the gray-robed person. The intensity of the faint light had surpassed Xiao Yan's green light.
The sudden appearance of a strong light almost instantly attracted all the gazes in the open field. When everyone saw that the person who had created this pillar of light was a gray-robed person who was reduced to a far corner, their faces could not help but be filled with shock.
The powerful green light that suddenly appeared also simultaneously attracted the gaze of Xiao Yan's group. When he saw a light pillar that was even denser than his own light, Xiao Yan was momentarily confused. He immediately frowned slightly as he looked at the mysterious person whose body was wrapped in a gray robe. He had not expected that such a powerful person would actually appear at this moment. Moreover, by looking at his body size and the position he occupied, it was clear that this person was not among the people who had taken the internal tests back then …
"Don't tell me he's a free alchemist?" Xiao Yan muttered softly. He pursed his lips as his gaze looked at the gray-robed person. From his perception, he felt that this grey-robed mysterious person would likely be his most troublesome opponent during this Grand Meeting.
Seemingly having sensed the gaze that Xiao Yan shot, the gray-robed person slightly raised his head.expressing half of his pale gentle face. Hidden behind his bamboo hat, the pair of eyes where the flashing blue light carried a hint of coldness as they stared at the former nonchalantly.
Who is this guy? Upon seeing the strong opponent who suddenly appeared with a stunned look, Little Princess and Liu Ling exchanged glances with shocked faces that were completely confused.
"Qie Er Si, give me the information" In front of the VIP seat, Fa Ma suddenly turned his head and said in a deep voice to Qie Er Si. TL: New character, though not important
Ever since Fa Ma let out a startled voice just a moment ago, Qie Er Si felt something was amiss. He quickly identified the place of the gray-robed person. After which, he took out a stack of documents and quickly flipped through them. Moments later, the reversal stopped and a thin paper recording the information appeared. The image on it was the mysterious gray-robed man. It also had a clear picture of people up close. His face was an icy young man, pale-faced with a pair of blue-colored eyes. From her appearance, she looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old, strangely still young …
After Qie Er Si gave the information to Fa Ma, Fa Ma clenched his eyebrows and read it carefully. A moment later, his expression changed as he said, "This is an alchemist from the Chu Yun Empire?"
Strictly speaking, the Chu Yun Empire and the Jia Ma Empire were enemy countries that fought frequently. As the Chu Yun Empire holds the occupation that is the deadly enemy of alchemists, ‘Poison Masters’, with respect. This resulted in the orthodox alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire looking at them badly. Of course, the most important reason was that every time the two countries fought, that ‘Poison Masters’ would use that underhanded method to release poisonous drugs, poison powders, poison liquids in many different places. Therefore, in every major fight, the number of soldiers of the Jia Ma Empire that were killed was a staggering number.
Moreover, the alchemists within the Chu Yun empire did not oppose ‘Master Poison’. Some of them even work together. This resulted in the alchemists within the Jia Ma Empire feeling angry and belittling of the people who had betrayed the goals of this alchemist world.
It was also for this reason that Fa Ma's expression was extremely ugly when he saw that the gray-robed mysterious person was actually from the Chu Yun Kingdom.
"Why is it written that he is only a tier two alchemist on this paper? From the Spiritual Strength I felt just now, that person should at least be a tier four alchemist! " Fa Ma's eyes glanced at the entire recorded layer as he said with a frown.
"A seventeen-year-old tier four alchemist? Chief, do you think that's possible? Regardless of how much talent he had, alchemy skills required time and experience to accumulate. " Qie Er Si smiled bitterly and said.
"My feelings shouldn't be wrong .." Fa Ma shook his head. His gaze stared intently at that gentle face. For some unknown reason, he felt this face was a bit strange.
"Don't tell me he changed his appearance and came here? Looking at his well-trained technique as he refined medicinal pills, it did not look like anything a teenage teenager could have. " Fa Ma muttered softly.
"If he changes his appearance, he will naturally not be able to escape our senses." Jia Lao smiled faintly. As he said these words, the corner of his eyes swept over to the spot on the open ground where Xiao Yan was, without anyone noticing. It seemed that he had discovered Xiao Yan's disguise. It's just that he didn't reveal it for some reason.
"But the man hid himself very well. In this kind of competition, we can't just stop the Grand Meeting and take our hats off, can we? That way, others will say that our Jia Ma Empire Alchemist Association is arrogant and rude. " Looking at the gray-robed person covering his head so well, Fa Ma said helplessly.
"If he won't lift it, then let us help him to do it .." Hai Bo Dong stood up, walked over to Fa Ma's side and gently said with a smile.
"You won't be found, will you?" Fa Ma's expression moved slightly and he immediately asked doubtfully.
"Hee hee, although my strength is slightly weakened, controlling the cold flow and unwittingly freezing that weak headdress until it becomes powder is something I can still do …" Hai Bo Dong smiled and said. He naturally knew how humiliating it was to let the alchemist of the Chu Yun Empire become the champion of the Great Meeting of Alchemists of the Jia Ma Empire.
"This kind of thing that requires refined control is really the most suitable for the ice Dou Qi Old Man Hai to do. My Dou Qi affinity is leaning more towards strength. It was suitable for splitting mountains and rocks but now, it would not work out "Jia Lao shook his head and said.
"Alright ... Then I'll count on you." Fa Ma pondered for a moment, nodded his head and said.
Smiling, Hai Bo Dong gradually narrowed his eyes. His wrinkled hands stretched out from his sleeves and flicked slightly. Following the flick of his finger, a pale strange ripple was quietly emitted.
At the time when Hai Bo Dong was secretly moving, Jia Lao and Fa Ma approached him. It seemed like they were discussing something, but it also coincidentally isolated the surrounding gazes.
"It looks like there's been some unexpected event at the Grand Meeting …" Ya Fei's eyes looked at Hai Bo Dong's not far away group of three with eyes that had a deeper meaning as she softly said. With his eyesight having been trained for so many years, he was naturally able to find that ever since the strong green-colored light appeared, Fa Ma's expression was rather ugly. Qie Er Si's follow-up flipping through the documents also proved a few things.
"Yes ..the mysterious gray-robed man seemed to have broken the order of the Grand Meeting." Yao Ye and Nalan Yanran nodded. It was not a flower vase on display and did not miss the things that Ya Fei could find.
” The ‘Growing Bone Pill’ that had been refined by the gray-robed person seemed to be more outstanding than Yan Xiao's group … At first I thought that only the three of them would fight for this Grand Meeting champion. It was unexpected that such a dark horse suddenly ran out "Ya Fei furrowed her brows slightly and said helplessly in her heart.
A faint stream of ice quietly passed through the air. A moment later, it enveloped the air above the mysterious gray-robed person without leaving a trace. It was like a pair of ice snakes that were invisible to the naked eye that quietly let out a mist.
Right now, the gray-robed person was slowly packing up the items on the stone table. In an instant, his moving hand suddenly became stiff. The blue eyes under the gray robe suddenly shrank as his feet stomped on the ground violently. His body was moving backwards.
"Where can you run?" Seeing that the grey-robed person seemed to have discovered a stream of ice, Hai Bo Dong was somewhat astonished. He immediately laughed coldly and suddenly tightened his fists, "Break!"
"Bang!"
Following the tightening of Hai Bo Dong's fist, the bamboo hat on the head of the gray-robed person who had just moved his body suddenly turned into powder which then scattered.
When the bamboo disappeared, the soft face covered under it immediately appeared in front of countless gazes. Immediately, the spectators in the regular seats and VIPs let out sounds of breathing cold air. None of them thought that the person who had obtained the most outstanding result in this first half would really be a gentle-looking young man …
The youth who had a pair of blue-colored eyes extended his hand and touched the bamboo hat that had disappeared. A moment later, he suddenly raised his head and directed his ice gaze towards the three people of Hai Bo Dong group in front of the VIP seats.
"This person is definitely not a simple person. Not only did he find my ice flow, but he also managed to use it to feel my direction "Hai Bo Dong narrowed his eyes and looked at the gray-robed young man. She stroked her chin slightly and laughed out loud, "Although I don't know why she has such a tender young face, but if she really is seventeen as written in the information, it is not, i, Hai Bo Dong, do not need to continue. I can go straight away and live in isolation for the rest of my life "
Fa Ma and Jia Lao narrowed their eyes and slowly nodded.
