C217 Clearing the pill pagoda
With that, Chen Xiao pointed at the sky and earth. The entire wasteland region collapsed, turning into nothingness, Chen Xiao's figure once again returned to the ninth floor.
The black mist in front of him had long since dispersed, leaving behind a flight of stairs. He walked up the stairs until he reached the end. At this moment, something strange was happening in the Pill Pagoda outside.
On the tower carved with dragons and phoenixes, all nine floors lit up at the same time. The tower shook continuously, emitting a buzzing sound.
"This is …" "We've cleared the level!" As the referee for the pill competition between the five nations, Cao Guo was completely shocked.
As the number one alchemist of DongXun Empire, he was naturally familiar with the phenomenon of the Pill Tower.
At the same time, Chen Xiao's figure was teleported out.
The moment he appeared, countless gazes were fixed on him. The shock in everyone's eyes did not dissipate even after a long time.
"He really did clear it!"
"Oh my god!" How many years has it been since someone has cleared the Pill Tower? "
Facing the heroic achievements of Chen Xiao, everyone was shocked speechless, it was truly shocking, even Li Xu, Zhao Mo and Xu Lai, the three peak six star arcane refiner, were looking at Chen Xiao's figure, with some seriousness.
It was clear that Chen Xiao's performance had already made them feel a complete sense of threat. In this Five Nation Pill Competition, Chen Xiao was definitely a strong opponent, and as for Zhang Yangshen, he was staring straight at Chen Xiao, his face full of anger and hostility.
He had always prided himself as the number one of the younger generation in the five empires in the alchemy dao. Now that he was suddenly overshadowed by a brat, he naturally felt extremely unhappy in his heart.
"Kid, your results are quite good!" "To think that we would be able to clear the Pill Tower. However, the main event is yet to come. The real decisive moment will be when the Pill Competition begins." The Zhang Yangshen sneered and said to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao frowned, he looked at the hostile Zhang Yangshen in front of him: "We'll just win the competition, why waste your breath here."
When the crowd saw how the two heaven's pride level experts competed against each other, they all became excited.
"It's hard to tolerate two tigers in a single mountain. Looks like there's going to be a good show to watch this time."
In the original arcane refiner, whether it was Li Xu, Zhao Mo, Xu Lai, or the others, although they had high attainments in the Pill Dao, they were still a distance away from the Zhang Yangshen, so they were not a threat to him.
Now that Chen Xiao had appeared, it undoubtedly broke this balance, causing the overweeningly proud Zhang Yangshen to feel somewhat guarded.
"Do you think that it is possible for Chen Xiao to defeat the Zhang Yangshen in the Pill Competition as well?"
"In my opinion, it's difficult. In the end, the Pill Pagoda only compares the knowledge of the dao of alchemy and the strength of divine sense. However, in order to concoct a true pill, there are too many factors involved."
"That's true. Although Chen Xiao had cleared the entire Pill Tower and suppressed these people, they might not have such results in the true competition."
A few excited arcane refiner were discussing about the Chen Xiao that suddenly appeared, about whether he would be able to become the champion of this Five Nation Pill Competition, but a lot of rational people still shook their heads. It was as they said, although Chen Xiao's record in the Pill Pagoda was extremely high, but he was still competing in actual combat when it came to refining pills, so Chen Xiao might not be that strong.
But no matter what, in this Pill Tower's trial, Chen Xiao was at the top of the rankings, completely suppressing everyone's light.
"Good seed, looks like there's a chance this time that the Heaven Martial Kingdom will surpass the Pill Competition." As the chief judge of the pill competition, Cao Guo, had been smiling at Chen Xiao ever since he cleared the stage.
Chen Xiao conversed a bit with them for a while and then walked to the center of the crowd, waiting for Cao Guo to announce the results of the first round.
Cao Guo and the rest who were standing below the stage cleared their throats and announced their names: "This time's first place, first place, Chen Xiao, second place, Zhang Yangshen..."
According to the list that Cao Guo had reported, out of the fifty or so arcane refiner s that had participated, only thirty of them had participated in the first round. Only twelve of them had successfully advanced to the Pill Competition, and all of the arcane refiner s that came from Heaven Martial Kingdom, other than Chen Xiao, had participated in the challenge of the Pill Tower.
However, this was not unexpected, after all, the geniuses of the Heaven Martial Kingdom were truly lacking compared to the other four nations, and if not for Chen Xiao suppressing the rest of the heroes, Li Dangxin would probably be laughed at by the representatives of the other four nations.
"The arcane refiner s that have successfully advanced can go back and rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, the final Pill Assembly will be held to decide the rankings and also decide who will be placed within the Eminent Holiness Mountain Secret Realm." Cao Guo said loudly.
After he finished explaining the situation, everyone bowed to him and slowly left.
On the way back to his room, Li Dangxin was in high spirits, smiling all over: "Chen Xiao, oh Chen Xiao, you really gave me a pleasant surprise huh."
He thought that it would be good if Chen Xiao could get into the top five of the Pill Tower, but he never thought that he would be able to suppress all the other heaven's pride experts in the first round and obtain the first place.
This gave him a lot of confidence in the next Dan.
"Perhaps we, the Heaven Martial Kingdom, can even enter the top three in the competition this time." Thinking about it, Li Dangxin was in high spirits. As for the other eight arcane refiner who were eliminated in the first round, he did not have much of a reaction.
All of these were within his expectations. After all, he understood the level of these people, and he knew that in this competition, the main point was to rely on Chen Xiao. These people were just there to accompany the crown prince in his studies, to be eliminated was one thing.
Top three? Hearing Li Dangxin's words, Chen Xiao's brows twitched, he wanted to laugh, but his heart was still too small. Even if Chen Xiao had such a battle record in front of him, his expectations would only be for the top three in the competition.
However, Chen Xiao had never placed his eyes on the top three. Since he had come, he naturally wanted to be first, and the opponents participating in the Five Nation Pill Competition were nothing to worry about.
"Zhang Yangshen right? "Since you want to provoke me, I'll show you tomorrow exactly how big the gap is between us!" Chen Xiao thought of the enmity the man had towards him, as well as the arrogance of the man in front of him, and laughed coldly in his heart.
To half a step into Seven Stars Technique Refiner, this level was indeed an existence that ordinary arcane refiner would have to look up to, but to Chen Xiao, it was nothing more than this.
As a Martial God in his past life, how could he fear someone like this? Even if he was restricted by his martial arts cultivation and was unable to fully display his abilities, it was more than enough to deal with this person.
Let's talk about it tomorrow.
Li Dangxin walked Chen Xiao to his room and gently smiled at him, "Rest well. Whether Heaven Martial Kingdom can move back to the competition tomorrow to lose face all these years, it all depends on you."
