The Battle Through Heaven
I'll Be the Champion!
Hearing the ear-piercing muffled sound, Little Princess, Liu Ling, and Yan Li who were very focused on the step of combining the ingredients into pills were also dumbfounded. They immediately turned their heads and gazed towards the direction Xiao Yan entered. When they saw the black-coloured ash flowing out from the medicinal cauldron, each of their expressions was slightly different.
"Ah." Little Princess sighed softly. Xiao Yan was originally the one who had the greatest ability to fight with the gray-robed young man of the Chu Yun Empire during this Grand Meeting. However, looking at this unexpected situation, it seemed
"Because you have retreated, then everything depends on me. I will represent the scene of the Jia Ma Empire's Alchemist and defeat that person. I'll tell everyone that even if you don't do that task, that person won't be able to snatch the champion spot! " Liu Ling tightly clenched her mouth and clenched her fists. Although he felt pity in his heart, most of his feelings were excitement. Ever since Xiao Yan arrived on the stage, he and the gray-robed mysterious young man had undoubtedly been the competitors that received the most attention during this Grand Meeting. Given Liu Ling's arrogant nature, he did feel a little annoyed.
"Hey, it looks like you've run out of energy. Since you have been defeated, there is no longer anyone who can stop me during this Grand Meeting! The champion is mine! " The corner of Yan Li's mouth lifted into a cold smile. He waved his palm and the black-colored flame within the medicinal cauldron once again surged. The different medicinal ingredients gradually began to fuse perfectly under the flame.
He has failed? On the high platform, Hai Bodong's expression changed slightly as he turned his head towards Fa Ma and asked gently.
"Yes." Yeah." Fa Ma nodded and sighed softly. Immediately, he forcefully comforted himself and smiled as he said, "But that doesn't matter. He still has another chance. "
Although Fa Ma spoke in this manner, his emotions were clouded and filled with bitterness. As an alchemist grandmaster who had a lot of experience, he clearly understood how difficult it was for Xiao Yan to obtain victory in such a situation. From the way he had changed the flame just now, it was clear that he was very unfamiliar with the way of changing the flame used with the others. If this was the limit, then the likely outcome of the remaining two trials would not be much better.
Moreover, Xiao Yan had only tried three times, which meant that the pressure he was experiencing was already quite great. After this failure, the pressure he brought would undoubtedly be doubled. Even some of the highly experienced high-level alchemists would have difficulty recovering their composure in such a short period of time when they were under this kind of high-level pressure.
However, this was a competition and not the purification of ordinary medicine. Right now, time is precious. It could not accommodate someone to waste it. Therefore, if Xiao Yan was immersed in this failure for too long, it showed that he who did not have enough time would lose his qualifications to fight for the champion spot.
Therefore, the current Fa Ma could only pray in his heart, hoping that this young man who had performed well enough had an admirable ability to withstand blows. As long as he could quickly pull himself back to his peak state of failure, his chances would not disappear completely. At the very least, with a blessing from heaven, some strange things might happen. The possibility of such a thing happening might be so small, that it made everyone speechless, but at the very least, it was like a wisp of flame light dying within the darkness, giving people a kind of hope and hope. .
"Ah, little boy, right now you can only rely on yourself completely. Moreover, this is your roadblock to refining pills. If you break through it, the benefits to you in the future will exceed what you can imagine, but if you fail, you may be forever stalled at your current level in the future. " Fa Ma softly muttered as he looked at the young man who was staring at the pitch-black ashes on the stone table with a gaze filled with low spirits.
"Break through and change for the better, or sink into the abyss. Heaven or hell is completely dependent on your mind. "
The gazes of everyone present were currently observing the young man in the middle who had done no other actions. After a long while, they discovered that he did not even make the slightest movement. It seemed that this person, who was the greatest hope in everyone's heart to contend with the mysterious alchemist of the current Chu Yun Empire had descended into a stalemate from his failure. Therefore, wave******* was disappointed involuntarily out of the audience seat.
"It seemed like the blow from this failure was quite great for him. Ah, but it was unexpected. He was the youngster "When he heard hissing sounds from around, Nalan Jie shook her head and sighed softly.
Nalan Yanran furrowed his brows slightly. A moment later, he softly said, "From his looks, it doesn't look like he doesn't look like someone who is very impatient. Maybe he has other plans? " Nalan Yanran's words were definitely something that even he was unsure of. Therefore, he stopped a few times while speaking and did not dare to use any firm words.
"I also hope it's true, but .." Nalan Jie stroked her beard and laughed bitterly. However, he did not complete his sentence.
Xiao Yan's body stiffened as he stood in front of the stone table. His dark pupils stared at the black-colored soot flowing out. His originally intelligent and calm eyes at this moment seemed somewhat confused. Ever since he lost Yao Lao, this was the first time he had faced such a difficult problem that left him shocked. He had not expected that the equilibrium point required when changing the flame would be this difficult to comprehend. In the past, he seemed to overestimate his abilities.
"This time, it'll be troublesome. Teacher, what should I do now. " As Xiao Yan's mouth shook, an inaudible soft voice containing confusion was gently emitted from him.
Unfortunately, Yao Lao was currently sound asleep. He did not know the difficult matter and the feeling of loss that Xiao Yan was facing. Therefore, just as Fa Ma had said, Xiao Yan really had to rely on himself for everything.
Change and grow or sink into destruction?
Although Xiao Yan had been speechless, the time for the competition did not stop just because he was so important in the competition.
Not far from there, Yan Li, Little Princess, and Liu Ling gradually advanced to the stairs where they increased the heat. The wisp of pill scent emitted from the medicinal cauldron also attracted the attention of the audience, who were initially focused on Xiao Yan.
When she heard the waves of astonished sounds sounding around her, a proud expression involuntarily appeared on the beautiful face of Little Princess. The medicinal pill in the cauldron was the only tier four medicinal pill he trusted to refine. In addition, it still has some chances of failing. Luckily his luck today was quite good and he actually managed to perfect it on his first attempt. If one were to discuss about luck, he seemed to have more than Xiao Yan.
However, the shocked voice did not last long. The medicinal cauldron on the other hand belonging to Liu Ling quickly followed him and gave off a richer and more attractive medicinal fragrance. Two pill fragrances individually emerged from each medicinal cauldron and ended up being mixed together in the open ground, making it difficult to tell the difference.
Nonetheless, alchemists with strong perceptions would be able to discern these two pill fragrances immediately. The value of the medicinal pill Liu Ling refined was slightly higher than that refined by Little Princess.
This fellow. Little Princess who has a pretty good perception is also able to distinguish the pros and cons of both types of medicinal pills. Immediately, he frowned slightly. With his eyes, he roughly cut off Liu Ling who was smiling at him.
"Haha, Yue-er, I'm sorry. Allow me to lead today. " When faced with Little Princess' depressed eyes, Liu Ling faced her and cupped her hands together as she replied with a smile.
"Two types of tier four medicinal pills. These two little guys are also pretty good. " On the high platform, Fa Ma's heart weight was slightly better as he felt the scent of pills rising from the medicinal cauldron belonging to Little Princess and Liu Ling. He nodded and spoke.
"Ha ha, you two are wet little friends behind their ears. Isn't it too early to really be ready to celebrate this time? " A strange laugh suddenly sounded from the side. It quickly brushed aside the furious eyes of Little Princess and Liu Ling, only for them to discover that the flames were burning intensely within Yan Li's cauldron. After a while, the scent that actually carried a pale purple color slowly rose like smoke.
The smell of colored pills? The moment they saw the scent of the pale purple pill, almost all of the alchemists on the open ground began to shout involuntarily, clearly understanding what this represented.
"He is actually able to refine a medicinal pill that produces the scent of colored pills? This scoundrel. He's really ready. " The smile on Fa Ma's face, which appeared just a moment ago, instantly became cloudy under the scent of the pale purple pill.
What is a colored pill? On the high platform, Hai Bodong hurriedly asked as he saw Fa Ma's expression suddenly become extremely ugly.
"The scent of colored pills is usually only produced by tier five medicinal pills. Of course, some tier four pinnacle medicinal pills could also create such a thing. Looking at the wealth of her pill fragrance, I think the medicinal pill she was refining belonged to the latter. " Fa Ma's face darkened as he said, "Compared to hers, the tier four medicinal pill that Yue-er and Liu Ling refined was undoubtedly inferior."
"This time, I'm afraid we'll lose."
On the open ground, Little Princess and Liu Ling were anxiously staring at the scent of colored pills rising from Yan Li's medicinal cauldron. Their expressions instantly became desperate and pale as they bitterly laughed. In the face of absolute superiority, any excuse would seem extremely weak.
"That's not sure." A clear young faint laugh suddenly sounded.
The sudden faint laughter caused Little Princess and Liu Ling to become stunned. Immediately, they turned around, only to find that Xiao Yan, who was standing like a wooden pillar behind the stone table involuntarily raised his head once more. The face that normally looked extremely cold, currently had a very rare gentle smile.
Little Princess and Liu Ling looked at that smile. For some unknown reason, they were somewhat possessed because they discovered that the current Xiao Yan seemed to have something more compared to the past. There seemed to be some kind of change in his temperament and confidence.
"I'm sorry. Chairman Fa Ma. " Xiao Yan turned his body and bowed towards Fa Ma on the high platform as his lips moved slightly. He knew that with the latter's ability, he must have known what was being said.
"Ke Ke, it's great that you can recover." Fa Ma was momentarily confused as he looked at the gentle smile on the young man's face below. Immediately, he nodded, feeling comforted.
Xiao Yan smiled gently and turned his body around. He tilted his head and looked at Yan Li, who was staring at him in a dark and cold manner. Smiling, he raised his thumb, only to flip it under everyone's gaze.
"I'll be a champion!"
