The Battle Through Heaven
Competition Topic: Dragon Strength Pill
Under the countless gazes in the audience, the two human figures in the arena stood up and raised their heads proudly. They straightened their bodies as they lit up different auras. It was clear that/it both of them had an impressive presence. The eyes of a number of women from the Inner Academy in the audience flickered slightly.
Elder Hao wore plain clothes as he stood between Xiao Yan and Han Xian. Although his hair was white, the other aspect had strength that was not inferior to young people. He might have a smile on his face due to the atmosphere today, on the face with a few wrinkles, but from the faint sharpness look in his eyes, he was, This Elder Hao completely released the impartial feeling that Lin Yan had mentioned.
As Elder Hao coughed softly once more, his voice which contained a powerful Dou Qi suppressed the sounds throughout the stadium. His gaze turned to the entire stadium before he took out a slightly yellow ancient scroll from his storage ring in a slow but orderly manner. He smiled faintly and said, ” I who used to be always very interested in pill refining. However, due to the harsh conditions of an alchemist, I can only remain silent. Today, I am very happy to come and become the judge of this extremely rare pill refining competition that has appeared in this Inner Academy. However, everyone also knew about this old reputation of mine. Therefore, you can cast doubt about the fairness of this competition. ’
Everyone in the stadium immediately emitted waves responding to the sound after hearing Elder Hao's voice. Clearly, the impartial reputation he had in the Inner Academy was something everyone knew.
’Topic for today's competition was personally selected by this old me. Until now, Xiao Yan and Han Xian were still unclear what they needed to fix. ” The response from the stadium caused the smile on Elder Hao's face to increase slightly. His hand gently patted the scroll. After which, he turned his head and smiled as he said to Xiao Yan and Han Xian, ’’ I will say this before. This test question is a bit difficult .. I wonder if you two dare to accept it? ’
Xiao Yan and Han Xian were slightly surprised when they heard this. They exchanged glances with each other before Han Xian took the lead in cupping his head. He smiled and said, ” I will definitely do my best no matter what test question Elder Hao has chosen. ” He believed that/that he, as a tier four alchemist, could hardly and forcefully refine five medicinal pills when he was at peak condition. Of course, his chances of success were a little too low. Moreover, even if the test question that Elder Hao had chosen included a very difficult level, he believed that/it even if he lost, he would definitely be better than Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan to the side smiled slightly. He also nodded without any objections.
”Good. You both have a pretty strong self-esteem. As the storage manager of the Inner Academy medicinal formula, I am also entitled to take the medicinal formula. Today, to thank the two of you in displaying the refining skills that will be an eye-opener for all of us, this medicinal formula will be given to the both of you as a gift. ” Elder Hao stroked his beard and smiled . He waved the scroll to the two of them and smiled as he asked, ’’ Who will be the first to read? ’
” I will allow Han Xian Senior to be first. ” Xiao Yan smiled and said.
” Since that's the case, thank you very much, Junior Xiao Yan. ” Han Xian smiled faintly and did not reject the offer. He received the scroll from Elder Hao and slowly opened it. His eyes gradually closed as his Spiritual Strength shot out from his body and stormed the scroll, obtaining extremely complicated medicinal refining information.
Under everyone's gazes, the smile on Han Xian's face was gradually withdrawn as information about the medicinal formula was imprinted into his mind. In the end, there was even an ugly look in it.
A wave of private whispers instantly rang out within the stadium after seeing the change in Han Xian's expression. Many gazes were filled with doubt. Obviously, they are not clear what happened.
” It seems that something is wrong .. ’’Hu Jia, who was in the stadium, frowned as she spoke to Xun Er and the others by her side.
’’Let's watch first ..’ ’Some uncertainties also appear in Xun Er's heart. However, he still remained calm as he retorted and smiled.
In the arena, Xiao Yan also knitted his brows together upon seeing Han Xian's expression. Looking at the situation, it turned out that there was some problem with the medicinal formula ... was the medicinal herb really as difficult as Elder Hao had said? Moreover, it was extremely difficult to the point where even Han Xian, this tier four alchemist, would reach the point where his expression became so bad?
Under the countless number of hesitant gazes on the open ground, Han Xian finally withdrew his Spiritual Strength from the medicinal formula after a while. He returned the medicinal formula to Elder Hao as he forcefully smiled and said, ” The test question that Elder has chosen is indeed difficult. Han Xian could only do his best. ’
’’ Young people always need to challenge their limits. ’’ Elder Hao smiled. There was a faint ingenuity in his smile. He held onto the medicinal formula before turning around and passing it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan received the medicinal formula. He did not hesitate to open it. His Spiritual Strength swiftly penetrated him.
Seeing Xiao Yan pick up the medicinal formula, an involuntary cold smile flashed across Han Xian's eyes at the side. This medicinal formula was something that he could only smile helplessly, let alone just you, Xiao Yan.
Han Xian looked at Xiao Yan rather grimly. He anticipated the scene of his expression becoming ugly. However, after two minutes had passed, an ugly expression similar to the one before did not appear on Xiao Yan's face. There is only one extra solitude and surprise.
’’This guy is very ingenious. He could actually hide cleverly under this shocking situation. Huh. However, this kind of illusory action would naturally break without the need for an attack when it came to refining pills. ” The calmness that Xiao Yan showed caused Han Xian to frown slightly. He could only mock with a cold smile on his heart.
At his side, Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and Lin Yan spread their hands. There was no point in saying anything more, since the pill refinement had yet to reach the end.
Under the focus of all the gazes in the stadium, Xiao Yan also withdrew his Spiritual Strength from the medicinal formula after a few minutes. He rubbed his slightly swollen head as it was filled with a large amount of information before returning the medicinal formula to Elder Hao. He smiled and softly spoke, ’’ Elder Hao has really made things difficult for us. This five-tier medicinal pill was something that even an ordinary tier alchemist would not have such a high success rate. ’
’Tier five medicinal pills?’ ’
All the spectators in the stadium involuntarily let out a shocked ‘wow’ when they heard the words from Xiao Yan's mouth. Only at this moment did they understand why Han Xian's expression had turned so bad earlier. A set of five medicinal pills. It was a tier that only a tier five tier alchemist could perform. Even though he was a tier four alchemist, he would definitely have a failure rate of over seventy to eighty percent when refining this type of medicinal pill.
” Ke Ke, since you are going to compete, it is only natural that you want to compete with something bigger .. This tier five medicine is indeed a bit difficult to refine. However, if it is truly impossible, you will greatly fail in your refinement. ” Elder Hao smiled and replied.
Xiao Yan was silent. The medicinal pill recorded in the medicinal formula was a five medicinal pill named ‘Dragon Strength Pill.’ This type of medicinal pill could allow the person who ate it to have immense strength for a short period of time. This kind of strength had nothing to do with the increase in Dou Qi. Rather, it was an extremely pure physical strength. Therefore, ‘Dragon Power Pill’ belongs to the type of medicinal pill that can be used to increase one's strength. As such, it was a bit more difficult to refine compared to ordinary tier five medicinal pills. Forget about Hao Xian, even Xiao Yan felt that/it was a little troublesome to refine this type of medicinal pill. He didn't expect that/that this Elder Hao would actually pick a difficult test question. The chances of people who could refine medicinal pills of this tier were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns even in the entire Alchemist Department.
Elder Hao smiled faintly. He ignored the expressions of the two people and opened the scroll. Afterwards, he read out some introductions on the ‘Dragon Strength Pill’ tier as well as some brief information about him. Everyone's eyes in the stadium involuntarily shone when they heard that/it's this medicinal pill actually has the ability to increase one's strength. They were silently speaking in their hearts. It is indeed worthy of being a five-tier medicinal pill. It really has a unique effect.
’’This old man, is he really here to ensure justice or is here to create trouble? He actually asked two people from the younger generation to refine five medicinal pills .. ” Some Elders in the stadium, who had come to watch the competition, were, subconsciously muttered softly when they heard the test question for the competition .
” Since you two already know about the test for the competition, please continue. ” Elder Hao saved the scroll properly and waved his hand. A wild wind swept past the two black cloths within the arena, which were sent flying. They revealed two stone tables below them as well as various medicinal ingredients placed on them.
’’ Three sets of medicinal ingredients have been prepared for each of you. Therefore, each of you has three chances. In these three occasions, whoever managed to refine the first pill would be the winner. ’Elder Hao slowly speaking. He pointed at the stone platform and said.
’’ What if we both fail? Don't tell me we're gonna end up with a raffle? ” Han Xian knitted his brows slightly when he heard this. He also did not believe too much in the so-called ‘Dragon Strength Pill.’ However, if he were to fail in refinement, wouldn't that be the case where he and Xiao Yan would be on the same level? This is undoubtedly unfair to him. Even though it was only his own assumption …
’If both of you fail to perfect it, there will at least be a failed product, right? From there, we were also able to see some clues about the skills of both sides. ’’ Elder Hao says. Since he was very interested in refining skills, he was also very clear about the steps of refining medicines.
Han Xian only sighed in relief when he heard Elder Hao say this. He believed that/that even if he was unable to refine the correct pill, his failed product would definitely be more outstanding than Xiao Yan's.
” Xiao Yan, do you have any objections? ” Elder Hao asked Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head. He turned his head and glanced at Han Xian. He could see a faint cold smile from the latter's eyes. Immediately, he raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his body towards the stone table in the arena and walked over.
Behind him, Han Xian bowed slightly and handsomely towards the entire stadium before he turned around and walked to another stone table. When he passed by Xiao Yan, he halted his steps and softly spoke with a smile, ’’ Brat who was pretending to be calm. I'm waiting for your failure. ’
’’ Likewise. ’’ Xiao Yan smiled and stepped onto the back of the stone table.
The calmness of Xiao Yan caused the cold smile on Han Xian's face to become slightly denser. He curled up in his mouth and did not continue to speak. His body flashed behind the stone table.
Seeing that/that both parties prepared, the smile on Elder Hao's face also became much richer. He twisted his body, facing the black mass in the stadium as his clear voice echoed throughout the stadium.
