Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 149
Chapter 0149 He Lost Two Matches!
“Of course, Lord Xiang’s personality has offended quite a few people. Almost everyone in the headquarters hates him very much. They are afraid to get along with him. Only the president thinks highly of him. He wants to transfer him to the headquarters several times, but he is opposed by other elders. He has been in the capital for almost ten years and has not moved up.”
“And he was very strict with his family, He had an only son, He took a fancy to a young girl in the prefecture city, He wanted to marry home, but the girl refused. The young man had a temper, so he forcefully pulled the girl home. After Lord Xiang found out, he righteously exterminated his family and personally broke one of his only son’s legs. Then, he personally brought his only son to the City Lord’s Mansion to plead for guilt. As a result, his only son was sentenced to ten years in prison, and he is still serving his sentence in the mine! And he took that girl as his goddaughter and gave her all the protection she needed! ”
Old man Chen talked endlessly about Xiang Zhong’s past, and his tone was filled with respect for this upright and upright person.
Qin Fei said solemnly. This loyalty was an unselfish person! It is indeed worthy of respect.
The competition began very quickly. It was located in a small square in front of the pill tower. All the members of the Southern Mountain Branch had arrived.
This Southern Mountain Branch had a few more pill refiners than Xuan City. There were a total of more than three hundred pill refiners.
Although this might seem like a lot, it was pitifully small in terms of geography and population. Pill refiners were simply too rare!
For example, the Southern Mountain Prefecture had a total of two prefecture cities under its jurisdiction. The prefecture cities managed a dozen or so of the lowest grade cities like Northern Mysterious City, and there were nearly 20 more. The two prefectures combined had nearly 30 cities like Northern Mysterious City, with a combined population of more than five million people.
According to the records of the Pill Masters Association, there weren’t even a thousand pill masters in the three branches. Even if some of the pill masters didn’t register with the association, the total number wouldn’t exceed a thousand.
Compared to two thousand people, five million people were like the difference between an ocean and a drop of water.
There were simply too few alchemists, making any alchemist incomparably precious. Most alchemists were arrogant and respected existences. No matter where they went, they were respected existences.
The mages gathered on the plaza looked at Ruan Ming and the others eagerly, while they looked at Qin Fei and the others with disdain. There was nothing they could do, this was their home ground, they would support outsiders to see the ghost!
“Let all the idle people leave! All you need to do is leave the people who are participating in the compet.i.tion behind!” Xiang Zhong frowned as he looked at the hundreds of people around him.
Deng Yue was puzzled. He bowed and said, “Sir, everyone wants to learn.”
Xiang Zhong snorted coldly, “Stupid! Don’t you know what kind of competition this time is? Call away all the unrelated people! No one is allowed to approach.”
Deng Yue suddenly woke up and remembered the key point. This competition was to determine who possessed unique abilities. Although everyone on his side knew what abilities they possessed, Xiang Zhong wasn’t sure. He was sure that if he had the ability to keep a secret, he couldn’t let others know!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly apologized and told the rest of the members of the branch to evacuate. No one was allowed to approach!
“Let’s begin!” Only then did Xiang Zhong solemnly announce the start of the competition.
The first to appear were Ao Tian and Ruan Ming.
Ruan Ming displayed his miraculous pill refining speed and obtained Xiang Zhong’s approval. Finally, a trace of warmth appeared on his face.
Ao Tian displayed the combination of his wine and pill refining techniques. The pills he refined had indeed had extraordinary effects after being tested on the spot.
‘”Ruan Ming’s pill refining technique can refine twice as many pills in the same amount of time. This kind of ability is indeed rare, and Ao Tian’s wine and pill refining technique can double the energy of the pills. In this way, your results can be considered to be even. Now, let’s switch to another person!” Xiang Zhong coldly announced the result, but the two of them drew.
Ruan Ming’s eyes revealed a trace of ruthlessness. He was very unwilling to draw, but he did not dare to refute.
Immediately after, Second Senior Brother clashed with the other party’s thieving brows and mouse eyes. The peculiar pill refining technique displayed by the thieving brows and mouse eyes also shone brightly. He was actually able to refine a high-grade pill with a lower-grade spirit medicine.
Second Senior Brother displayed his research results. The alcohol aura accumulated in his body over the years caused a qualitative change in his profound energy. When refining pills, he was able to simultaneously refine pills with both fire and water energy, causing a sensation.
After all, a person had never seen two types of profound energy at the same time. Even if he could only use them when refining pills, this was a rare ability. Moreover, the pills he refined could be used by both fire profound energy and water profound energy martial practitioners at the same time. This way, the medicinal pills would be even more useful.
“Who can refine a high-grade pill from a low-grade spirit medicine? It can save spirit medicine. The effect is not bad, but the pill refined is ordinary. There is nothing unusual about it. And the pill refined from fire and water is extraordinary. Jie Wei won!” Xiang Zhong said loudly. When he looked at Xie Wei, who was also Qin Fei’s Second Senior Brother Alcohol, he smiled and nodded in admiration.
It was rare to see a smile on Xiang Zhong’s face. This was the first time he had been here for nearly two hours.
Lawrence glared at Xiaowei in dissatisfaction and returned to his team in anger.
Next up was Third Senior Brother competing with a person named Wang Wu.
Third Senior Brother’s name was Shen Ying, a feminine name.
Wang Wu was an ordinary looking youth. His pill concocting techniques were also very unique, but they did not have any miraculous effects.
When Shen Ying’s pills were placed in front of everyone, Ruan Ming snorted coldly and said disdainfully, “Is he outstanding? His pill refining techniques are simple, and the pills he refined are only a Mortal Martial Second Grade pill. President Chen actually treated such a person as a treasure and used them to compete with our Junior Brother Wang. This is simply humiliating this competition!”
Ordinary alchemists could only refine pills at the same level as their own, To refine a higher grade pill, it would require a lot of time, energy, and special materials. Moreover, the success rate would be very low. For example, Old Man Chen had spent a long time refining a fourth grade Mortal Martial Pill but failed. In the end, he still needed special materials, that is, the blood of the Golden Lion, to refine it.
Normally, Qin Fei would be able to refine higher-grade pills at will, but ordinary pill refiners would not be able to do so.
“Haha, it’s not over yet!” Old Man Chen sneered and signaled for Shen Ying to peel the pill away.
When Shen Ying’s Pill in the Pill appeared in front of everyone, the people from the Southern Mountain Branch were all shocked and stared at the Pill in the Pill with their mouths wide open!
No one had thought that there would be more in the pill. This was simply beyond the common sense of the pill refining world.
After being appraised by Xiang Zhong, Deng Yue, and Old Man Chen, the effects of Shen Ying’s two pills added together were even more outstanding than Wang Wu’s.
Shen Ying won!
Everyone on the side of the Southern Mountain Prefecture revealed nervous expressions. The other party had already won two matches. This was not a good sign!
Ruan Ming whispered to Deng Yue, “Master, what should we do? We’ve already lost two matches!”
Deng Yue said confidently, “What are you afraid of? You can’t be so calm! Look at how many people Old Man Chen has brought? It’s only five, but we have ten. Losing two matches is nothing!”
In the fourth match, Rabbit Head appeared, and the other party sent out a tall young man to fight.
The radish head’s name was Feng Cheng, but his head was as big as a white radish, so he got this nickname.
He took out a leather ball and continuously infused his profound energy into it, causing the leather ball to jump up with his heart’s fire.
“Haha, is this big-headed guy showing us how to play with toys? What’s with a leather ball?” The people of the Southern Mountain Prefecture laughed. They couldn’t understand what the radish head was doing. Pill concocting wasn’t pill concocting. What was the competition for?
However, when Radish opened the ball and a medicinal pill popped out, everyone shut their mouths and revealed expressions of disbelief.
Old Man Chen explained to Xiang Zhong with a smile on his face, “Feng Cheng is different from the others in refining pills. He designed this leather ball-shaped thing himself, but it is actually a different type of cauldron!”
Xiang Zhong nodded and said, “This is a kind of innovation, but its popularity isn’t that great!”
He wasn’t too satisfied.
When the people of the Southern Mountain Prefecture heard his words, they immediately revealed expressions of joy. It seemed that they were certain of winning this competition!
However, Radish did not stop. He suddenly drooled and took out another leather ball. He peeled it off and walked in front of Xiang Zhong, asking him to take a look.
Xiang Zhong didn’t understand what he meant. He looked at it and frowned, “Why are you showing me an empty ball?”
Old man Chen smiled and said, “Lord Xiang, the real peculiarity is here! Please wait and see!”
Rabbit ran to the side of the square with the ball that Xiang Zhong had seen. The distance was about a hundred meters. Then, he ran back to his original location and put the pill between his fingers for everyone to see.
