Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 93 The Final Round

"Elder Jiang, how long have I been cultivating? How many days do I have left?" Xiao Li asked.

Venerable Tianhe: "We still have more than two days, so there shouldn't be any major problems. We can go back to the Ten Thousand Medicines Mountain Range for a while. Of course, we can also retreat now that we have collected all the medicinal herbs."

Xiao Li nodded: "Then the boy went out. Although the Pill Realm has good opportunities, my cultivation is still too shallow, so I won't go and join in the fun."

Venerable Heavenly Crane: "Suit yourself. I'll go take another stroll. But you, brat, possess a Dou Zun-level puppet, what do you have to fear?"

Xiao Li stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Farewell, Elder Jiang. We'll meet again for the final match!"

Venerable Heavenly Crane: "Hehe, I have high hopes for you. Give me some pressure and let me see how good your alchemy skills are!"

. . . . . .

Xiao Li headed towards the exit of the Pill Realm, while Venerable Tianhe wanted to linger in the Pill Realm for a while longer.

After traveling for a long time, Xiao Li finally came into view a huge plaza built of white giant rocks, and on the plaza, he could vaguely see some figures.

Xiao Li found a spot, lay down, and waited for the second match to end.

Just as Xiao Li had settled down, a Dou Zong walked towards him, his gaze cold and sharp, a greedy smile playing on his lips.

"Boy, hand over your storage ring, and I might spare your life!"

Peng—

No sooner had this Dou Zong finished speaking than a golden and silver fist slammed into his face. This six-star Dou Zong was quite strong; he could be considered an elder in any major power in Zhongzhou, not to mention he was also an alchemist.

As a result, he was instantly killed with a single punch, his soul shattered.

"Hiss—a Dou Zun-level puppet? Isn't this the unlucky guy who was driven away by old man Huang Yan before? So he was hiding his true strength!"

"Hmm, these young people nowadays are really good at enduring hardship. That old man Huang Yan is probably in grave danger."

"Yeah yeah."

The people around weren't fools. Many people remembered the scene of Xiao Li being driven away by Huang Yan. Many people secretly mocked this audacious Dou Huang. But what happened? You're telling me that this Dou Huang had a Dou Zun-level puppet next to him?

Xiao Li sat up and shouted at the people around him, "Who else?!"

The people around immediately moved away, each sticking together and chatting amongst themselves.

Xiao Li then lay down, and with the Earth Demon Puppet protecting him, there shouldn't be any major problems.

In the center of the plaza, where the space was slightly distorted, stood an old man dressed in the robes of the Danta. On his chest was a Danta emblem, its emblem a dazzling purple-gold color.

One of the elders of the Pill Tower was also keeping an eye on Xiao Li.

At such a young age, he's already reached the Spirit Realm Soul stage? Plus, he has a puppet equivalent to a two-star Dou Zun? Interesting. This Pill Gathering is getting more and more interesting.

As time went by, more and more contestants came to this square, and most of them were not weaklings. But thinking about it, how could they not have some skills to persist in such a fiercely competitive arena as the Pill Realm?

Elder Danta slowly spoke, "The time has come. Hand over your prescriptions and the medicinal herbs for your mission to me, and then leave here to participate in the final alchemy competition."

One by one, the contestants stepped forward and handed in their items. Of course, some tried to pass off inferior goods as genuine, but they were slapped to the ground by Elder Danta and lost face.

When it was Xiao Li's turn, he handed the item to the old man. The old man opened his eyes, carefully examined Xiao Li, and then nodded: "Hmm, not bad, little guy, keep up the good work. Go in."

Xiao Li bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the old man before entering the spatial gate.

. . . . .

Outside, the plaza was once again filled with a deafening clamor as the Dan Realm opened. As the contestants emerged one after another, the stone platform suspended in mid-air became the focus of the entire event.

"Li'er, why isn't he coming out yet? I'm so worried!" Su Wanyin paced back and forth. She didn't want Xiao Li to die inside. How could she face Wang Ming if that happened?

Bu Tianchi sat there cross-legged, but his hands gripped his robes tightly, clearly indicating that he was also nervous.

As more contestants appeared, Xiao Li also came out. Su Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Xiao Li, and Mang Tianchi loosened his grip on his robe.

"Hmm? This kid's soul has reached the Spirit Realm!" Mang Tianchi stood up, his face full of joy.

"Really?" Su Wanyin looked over as well, and she also noticed the difference in Xiao Li.

Xiao Li's soul power has now reached the Spirit Realm, and his perception has been greatly enhanced. He quickly noticed Su Wanyin and Bu Tianchi's gazes and waved his hand towards that direction.

"Hmm?" Xiao Li sensed several unfamiliar gazes again, and then looked towards the source, only to find that they were the three giants of the Pill Tower on the high platform.

On the high platform, "Oh dear, this little guy has discovered me. Sure enough, his soul power has reached the Spirit Realm. I've won this bet, Tian Lei Zi. Don't forget your promise."

Xuan Kongzi said with a smile that he had just made a bet with Tian Leizi about whether Xiao Li could break through to the Spirit Realm in the Pill Realm.

Tian Leizi initially didn't gamble, but after being slightly provoked by Xuan Kongzi, he got carried away and lost this round.

"Damn it, Xuan Kongzi, I know, I'll give it to you!" Tian Leizi said angrily.

The woman in black, standing to the side, covered her mouth and chuckled. She had seen from the beginning that Xuan Kongzi was setting a trap for Tian Leizi, but she just hadn't pointed it out.

In the square, the spatial gate lasted for nearly half an hour. More and more participants joined in. Those who made it to the final round were almost all the most outstanding alchemists from all over the Dou Qi Continent. If they wanted to get a good ranking, they had to step on other people's heads and climb up!

As the portal closed, the noisy plaza gradually quieted down, because the real highlight was about to begin.

Xuan Kongzi stood up and scanned the entire audience before saying loudly, "First of all, congratulations! You have passed the second round of selection and are qualified to stand here to participate in the final competition!"

As you all know, the next round of alchemy is the most important event in the Alchemy Competition. The one who stands at the end of this round will be the champion of this year's Alchemy Competition!

The stone platform in the sky is your stage for performance. I hope you can shine with the most brilliant moments of your lives there!

Glory will be born from among you!

These few words brought the conference to a climax! The grandest conference for alchemists is about to begin!
