"It's over! There's definitely no hope this ti!" Chen Guo's face was a mask of despair.
Song Ruize, on the other hand, was ecstatic. Even he hadn't expected Chuyun Xiong to successfully refine a true Elixir. Though it was the lowest grade of Elixir, it had still summoned a Dan Cloud. In the entire Dragon Country, it seed no one had achieved such a feat, at least not publicly.
How could a re Yang Qi possibly win?
Liu Changsheng also looked miserable. The gap was just too vast. Victory was impossible. Any excuse would seem feeble and powerless.
"What's the panic? It's not over yet!" Yang Qi's voice suddenly rang out, brimming with confidence and pride.
Chen Guo, Liu Changsheng, Lei Qingtian, and the others were all montarily stunned. They watched as Yang Qi continued his alchemy, unhurried and unfazed, as if nothing happening around him mattered. It was as if Chuyun Xiong's Elixir wasn't even worth ntioning. There was no trace of panic or fear on his face, only pure confidence.
"Hmph, just putting on an act!" Chuyun Xiong scoffed.
"You'll find out soon enough if it's an act," Yang Qi said, looking at Chuyun Xiong and pointing a thumb at his own chest. "There can only be one champion today, and that's !"
"Hahaha! Only a third of the ti is left. Do you really think those pathetic little pills you've concocted can compare to my Elixir? People should know their limits. Otherwise, they just make a fool of themselves," Chuyun Xiong taunted maliciously, his eyes filled with derision.
Yang Qi simply smiled disdainfully, ignoring his opponent's mockery.
At that mont, four dicine Pills rested on his Alchemy Platform. All were Tenth-Level dicine Pills. He tossed the remaining materials into the Furnace Tripod, swallowed an Elixir to replenish his Spiritual Power, and resud the refinent process. The golden flas danced energetically.
Chuyun Xiong frowned. He had no idea what trick Yang Qi was pulling. But why do I have such an ominous premonition? What could be the reason? Though his expression was calm, a sliver of unease crept into his heart.
"Master Chen, can he still win?" Liu Changsheng asked nervously.
"I don't know!" Chen Guo shook his head. "To be honest, I have no idea what Mr. Yang is doing. But seeing his confident expression, I feel like he can't possibly fail. In any case, this is shaping up to be a fierce clash between titans. Chuyun Xiong is too exceptional, hailed as the top alchemy genius from Kappa Country in a thousand years. If Mr. Yang can defeat him, it would be a truly incredible feat."
Chuyun Xiong stopped paying attention to Yang Qi and focused entirely on his own alchemy. Although he was confident of success, he knew he had to be more cautious as he approached the final steps. Inside the Pill Furnace, the embryonic form of the Elixir was already visible. He believed that no matter what tricks Yang Qi had up his sleeve, as long as his Elixir was completed successfully, the championship was his.
The red Dan Cloud grew denser and more astonishing. The black Dark Spiritual Fire swirled around the Pill Furnace, its movents accelerating.
Chen Guo and Liu Changsheng's gazes were fixed on Yang Qi. Victory or defeat, honor or disgrace—it all rested on his shoulders. He absolutely could not lose.
"Hmph, it's useless no matter how you struggle! The championship is mine!" Chuyun Xiong snorted coldly.
Yang Qi carried the honor and disgrace of the Dragon Country, but he, too, carried the honor and disgrace of Kappa Country. He was lauded as a once-in-a-millennium genius. If he lost to Yang Qi here, he wouldn't just lose his own face, but that of the entire Hanfang Association and all of Kappa Country.
If he won, he could leverage this victory to make Song Ruize the head of the National dicine Association. This would allow the Hanfang Association's Elixirs to gain recognition in the Dragon Country, opening up their market and suppressing local dicines. Upon returning ho, he would also smoothly beco the primary heir to the Hanfang Association. The importance of this competition to him was imasurable.
"Co forth! My future! My hope!" Chuyun Xiong roared.
He tapped the Pill Furnace lightly, and the lid flew off. A stream of black Dark Spiritual Fire shot into the sky. The next mont, a crimson glow filled the air, bathing the entire venue in a splendid, incomparably brilliant red light. A scarlet Elixir slowly floated up from the Pill Furnace, and Chuyun Xiong gently caught it in a bottle.
"What a dazzling Dan Cloud! What a rich aroma! Is that a real Elixir?"
"That's incredible! Am I watching TV? These aren't special effects, are they?"
"Can soone so miraculous truly exist in this world?"
Even Chen Baixiang had to admit that while Chuyun Xiong was utterly shaless, his skill in alchemy was truly second to none. It was too outstanding, too shocking.
Liu Changsheng's and Chen Guo's hearts sank into an abyss. It felt like there was very little chance for Yang Qi to win.
"Hahahaha!" Chuyun Xiong burst out laughing. He had succeeded! He had really succeeded! Even the heavens were on his side! He had never succeeded in refining this particular Elixir before, yet today, against all odds, he had done it. His luck was simply unparalleled.
"A true Elixir! Who among you can possibly compare to !" Chuyun Xiong yelled in excitent.
"What kind of Elixir is that?" Lei Qingtian couldn't help but ask.
"The Evil Extinguishing Pill!" a referee said, taking a deep breath. "A genuine First-Level Elixir! Legend says that consuming one of these grants immunity to all illnesses and poisons for a full year! Judging by the Dan Cloud, its quality is quite high. The precise effects, however, still need to be verified."
The judges felt sowhat helpless. As citizens of the Dragon Country, they naturally hoped their own competitor would win, but they couldn't deny Chuyun Xiong's exceptional talent. This Chuyun Xiong... even though he's from Kappa Country, he is terrifyingly powerful. And astonishing. The failure rate for refining this kind of Elixir should be extrely high, yet he still dared to try. His guts and courage are both top-notch!
"Aren't you celebrating a bit too early?" Yang Qi's voice rang out.
In the next instant, the entire audience shot to their feet.
"What is that!"
"This is impossible!"
"It's a miracle!"
All eyes were locked on Yang Qi. Five flas of different colors hovered around him—five different types of Spiritual Fires.
Golden Spiritual Fire!
Wood Spirit Fire!
Fire Spirit Fire!
Water Spirit Fire!
Earth Spirit Fire!
Five different colors and five different temperatures, all burning in unison. The five dicine Pills Yang Qi had previously refined were all thrown back into the Pill Furnace.
"How is this possible! How could anyone control five types of Spiritual Fire!" Chuyun Xiong stared, dumbfounded.
Mastering a single type of Spiritual Fire is difficult enough, let alone five. I have an advantage over most alchemists because I possess an Innate Spiritual Fire. So how on earth did Yang Qi manage it?
Song Ruize looked as if he had seen a ghost. He was completely stupefied, too shocked to utter a word.
Chen Guo, Liu Changsheng, and Lei Qingtian, however, were ecstatic.
"Indeed, that's Mr. Yang for you! So powerful, wielding five Spiritual Fires at once!"
