102: C102 End of First Round

C102 End of First Round

"What's going on?!" Hsiao Yan, who was originally very arrogant, suddenly turned around when he felt the ten lights light up at the same time.

Everyone's gaze returned to the machine, but they saw Nie Zhen calmly placing his hand on the Spiritual Array.

"Excuse me..." Nie Zhen looked at the deacon in charge of score with an 'innocent' look, "Have you calculated my results?"

"Puchi!"

It was unknown who laughed out loud, but it was followed by a chain reaction. The crowd burst into laughter.

Just now, Hsiao Yan was arrogantly declaring war, threatening that as long as there was someone who could light ten lanterns, they would be able to defeat him. The faceslappers had arrived!

"Hahaha!" Weren't you acting cool just now!? What? You think you are invincible in this world! "

"So stupid! Nine lights is great? One of us can immediately light ten of them! "

"Bro, well done!" Let those people from Origin Sect know that our Duobao Sect are not easy to bully! "

In a moment, everyone was cheering for Nie Zhen, although this disciple was a little unfamiliar, and most people did not recognize him, it was enough that he was a Duobao Sect disciple, it was enough as long as he could slap a Origin Sect disciple's face!

Hsiao Yan's face was ashen. At this moment, he felt like his face was burning. He felt extremely humiliated even without being humiliated.

"Humph!" Ye Zichen glared at Nie Zhen fiercely. If he could, he would have personally smashed Nie Zhen's head.

However, Hsiao Yan quickly recovered. It was just a test of Spiritual Sense, and it didn't mean that this person's alchemy skills were impressive.

Originally, if he was just dissatisfied with Nie Zhen, then at this moment, he was truly afraid. The sight and soul of the medicinal ingredients were both excellent, even if this person couldn't concoct pills, as long as he worked hard in the area of alchemy, it would not be difficult for him to achieve anything, especially when he saw the glint in Nie Zhen's eyes when he saw Yun Ling's expression.

"Stinking brat, I'll make you suffer in the second round of the Pill Dao duel!" Gu Faang cursed in his heart.

Nie Zhen's double score was basically guaranteed to reach the second round of the finals.

"Second Sect Master, this Nie Zhen is your direct disciple?! Do you have any interest in letting him cultivate with me? In three years time, I'll definitely train a genius in the Dao of alchemy for the sect! " Elder Tianhuo looked at Nie Zhen's shining eyes and quickly asked Duan Rong for the person.

"Die!" I've gone through so much trouble to get such a talented disciple, how can I give him to you! Furthermore, Nie Zhen's martial talent was extremely outstanding; how could he let him waste his time on alchemy! "You better give up on that idea!" He also knew that Elder Tianhuo couldn't bear to see this talent go, but it was impossible for him to let go of him.

"Sigh... "What a pity..." In Elder Tianhuo's eyes, Nie Zhen was like a priceless gem. With a little carving, he could shock the world.

Great Sect Master comforted him, "Tianhuo, we understand you. If Nie Zhen was good at alchemy, we wouldn't reject your request. But we can't let go of Nie Zhen's martial talent, not to mention he has the potential to concoct pills."

Up until now, Nie Zhen had displayed the talent in the alchemy field. However, these talents were also common in the martial way, so it didn't mean that Nie Zhen definitely knew how to refine pills.

The second round of the exam ended in such a dramatic way. That round made all the disciples remember Nie Zhen.

The third round began immediately. The Duobao Sect disciples gave out two Pill Cauldron to the participants until each person had a cauldron.

"Now, I announce the official commencement of the third round! "Fire!" Elder Tianhuo announced loudly.

Unless you had some sort of natural fire, you would usually use your own spiritual energy to transform it into true fire to refine pills. Forget about alchemists, even normal cultivators would have this ability, however, it wasn't as skillful as alchemists.

Nie Zhen and the others caught on fire at the same time, channeled their spirit energy and released their true flame outside their body, and then wrapped it around the Pill Cauldron with Duobao Sect.

"Bam!"

Less than two minutes after the third round began, the sound of an explosion immediately sounded out.

The disciple with the cauldron looked at his hands in a daze. He never thought that the Pill Cauldron would explode just because he was distracted.

This cauldron was not that important, but a few disciples were distracted by the sound of the cauldron explosion. The True Fire in their hands was not stable, and cracks immediately appeared on the surrounding of the Pill Cauldron, but it was too late, as they could not endure for three minutes, and the Pill Cauldron in their hands also exploded.

No one dared to lower their guard. They hurriedly controlled the primordial flame as if no one else was present.

"Bang bang bang …"

As time passed, the Pill Cauldron s exploded one by one, and those disciples left the competition grounds dejectedly.

"Humph!" They are all trash! " Hsiao Yan sneered. The flame in his hand didn't fluctuate at all.

The Duobao Sect disciples present were all furious, and because of the change in their state of mind, the two of them had exploded.

In the blink of an eye, seventy minutes had passed. All of the remaining Duobao Sect disciples had already been eliminated, only Nie Zhen, Hsiao Yan, Gu Faang, and Yun Ling remained.

"Ugh …" At this moment, Gu Faang's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was flushed. The flame on his palms started to throb.

"Bam!"

Just 80 minutes ago, the Pill Cauldron in Gu Faang's hand exploded.

Gu Faang's face was ashen. His strength was actually already very strong, even slightly stronger than the other Duobao Sect's disciples. Yet, he just happened to lose to these three perverts in front of him.

It was fine for Yun Ling to be stronger than him since she was someone whom he admired, not to mention that Yun Ling's mastery of the art of dan-making had been obtained through extreme sacrifice.

But Nie Zhen and Hsiao Yan...

Towards the two of them, Gu Faang's heart was burning with jealousy, and it was enough to burn the entire world.

Forget about Hsiao Yan. After all, he was from another sect. Just who was this Nie Zhen …

Gu Faang didn't even know where this Nie Zhen came from. In the past, he had never heard of such a person.

"Bam!"

At the 83rd minute, the Pill Cauldron in Yun Ling's hands also exploded. She was already younger than Gu Faang, and her mastery of alchemy was also on par with Gu Faang. Being able to control fire better than Gu Faang was already a perfect display.

In the Duobao Sect, the Pill Tao Talent of Yun Ling and Gu Faang were already at the peak. If there weren't the other two abnormal beings, their performance should have been considered perfect.

"Just who is this guy, he even stands at the top of the Duobao Sect. I have never heard of him before …" Could it be that this person is Duobao Sect's secret trump card? " Hsiao Yan guessed in his heart. Not long later, he shook his head to deny his guess.

"Impossible, I came here secretly to challenge the Duobao Sect. Before this, there was no news that spread, if the Duobao Sect was secretly groomed as a genius of the alchemy path, it would be impossible for it to be announced in the Sect's Alchemy Dao Grand Ceremony. There is only one possibility, that person only has strong Spiritual Awareness and Fire Control ability, but is not good at refining pills!"

Even the Elder Tianhuo and the three sect masters of Duobao Sect had their own guesses. If a person had talent for the Pill Dao, there was no way he would remain unknown before. At the very least, you should be refining pills for yourself, right?

However, Nie Zhen did not have any reputation in the Dao of alchemy before, and there wasn't even any Duobao Sect to indicate that Nie Zhen knew how to refine pills. There was only one possibility, and that was that Nie Zhen's own consciousness was strong, causing him to have a strong ability to control fire.

The ability to control fire was closely related to one's spiritual awareness. If one's spiritual awareness was powerful, then their ability to control fire would also be understandable.

The Duobao Sect had information on Nie Zhen's soul force. Based on the battle data Nie Zhen obtained from the Yutang Country, Nie Zhen's soul force seemed to be beyond ordinary, something the three sect masters knew.

"Great Sect Master, look at this kid's ability. If he came here to concoct pills, we don't even need to learn from the beginning!" Elder Tianhuo said in heartache.

His heart ached because a talent like Nie Zhen actually cultivated martial arts, not alchemy. In his opinion, this was a complete waste of heaven's resources!

However, the three sect masters were very determined in this aspect. Unless Nie Zhen wanted to involve himself in the area of alchemy, they would not support him!

Seeing how determined these three old fellows were, Elder Tianhuo was helpless. After all, he was only an elder and not Nie Zhen's master.

"Time's up!"

A hundred minutes later, Elder Tianhuo announced it in public. Nie Zhen and Hsiao Yan actually endured it for a hundred minutes, gaining full marks!

"Huff …" Hsiao Yan let out a sigh of relief and put down the Pill Cauldron. On the cauldron, there were already invisible cracks.1

If another three minutes passed, Hsiao Yan was sure that his Pill Cauldron would explode. This made Hsiao Yan more convinced that Nie Zhen only had strong spiritual awareness and did not know how to refine pills.

His own strength in the way of pills within the Origin Sect was already one of the top, even more so than some elders, yet it was still not as strong as Nie Zhen's. He did not think that his own alchemy skills were inferior to Nie Zhen's, and that Nie Zhen's soul force must have become extremely strong for some reason, which was why it was able to suppress him in the second and third rounds.

However, no matter what, the third round still counted as a tie, not to mention Nie Zhen's Pill Cauldron did not have any cracks.

"Good!" At the end of the first round, the top 10 ranking participants will come out. After an hour of rest, we will directly enter the second round of the decisive battle! " Elder Tianhuo announced as he glanced at Nie Zhen reluctantly.

At this moment, Nie Zhen was simply a treasure in the eyes of Elder Tianhuo. Even if Nie Zhen didn't know how to refine pills, Elder Tianhuo was confident that he could cultivate Nie Zhen into a genius alchemist within a year.

Elder Tianhuo had even secretly made up his mind that he would secretly teach Nie Zhen about dan-making while Nie Zhen cultivated, even if it meant being punished by the Second Sect Master. If he missed out on such a talent, Elder Tianhuo felt that he would be punished by the heavens.
