Battle Through the Heavens: I'm Just an Alchemist

Chapter 45 Not Good at Fighting

"There are fifty bamboo sticks in total, twenty-five red and twenty-five blue. The person whose red and blue bamboo sticks have the same number is the opponent."

"Now, let's begin the lottery."

It's worth mentioning that, since this ranking competition doesn't determine the spots for the Heartfire Tempering event, but is merely a ranking battle, these people were quite modest.

Everyone who saw Nangong Wuxin greeted him with a smile and was very polite.

If this were the Strong Ranking Competition two and a half years from now, to determine the spots for the Heartfire Tempering Competition, things would be very different...

However, when the fight actually begins, both sides are quite serious. They won't concede defeat unless the skill gap between them is too large.

Elder Su Qian drew out a bamboo stick and looked at the number on it: "Number 18. Number 18, red and blue bamboo sticks, stay. The rest of you, leave."

No sooner had the words been spoken than a powerful voice suddenly rang out from the room:

"I give up!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Lin Xiuya!

He's a prominent figure in the inner court, how could he surrender so easily? Who is his opponent? Could it be that lord?

"Damn it! You coward, I'm going to beat you up!"

Zi Yan angrily threw a punch at Lin Xiuya, the terrifying force compressing the air into a ball, which flew over with a terrifying momentum.

Those near Lin Xiuya felt the terror of the punch and quickly dodged.

However, they were not far apart, so they were still inevitably affected, and a group of people were sent flying.

Fortunately, these were all top-tier fighters, they just looked a bit disheveled, but were not injured.

After they stood up, they looked at the seemingly harmless little girl with fear. Was she a monster?

He's practically a brute force king!

"Ahem, Zi Yan advances to the next round. Also, a warning: once your opponent concedes, you are not allowed to continue attacking."

The elder sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "This girl is getting more and more mischievous..."

"Next group, number five."

Just as Nangong Wuxin was about to leave with Ziyan, he glanced at the bamboo stick in his hand and couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Isn't he the main character?

Why are you here so early?

Everyone present was taken aback when they saw Nangong Wuxin return to the field.

Many people then realized what had happened and sighed inwardly, "It's the academy after all; there's no shady dealing here." If this were anywhere else, a sixth-grade alchemist's battle would definitely have been scheduled as the last one.

"Mr. Wuxin, I am about to offend you. Please forgive me."

The opponent also came up, and was quite polite, greeting Nangong Wuxin first.

"It's alright, I'm also a student of the inner academy, how could you say I'm offending you?"

Nangong Wuxin waved his hand, and blue beast fire enveloped his hands.

Seeing this, the opponent also prepared himself, drawing a sword. In less than a breath, he had already adjusted himself to his peak condition.

The heavy saber, wielded with the force of a thunderbolt, slashed down at Nangong Wuxin.

As the blade drew ever closer, Nangong Wuxin simply extended two fingers and caught the descending blade.

No matter how hard he tried, the horse-slaying sword did not move at all, as if it were clamped by a powerful iron clamp and could not move.

Blue flames spread along the blade, and the opponent quickly released his weapon, advancing instead of retreating, wanting to engage Nangong Wuxin in close combat.

However, Nangong Wuxin seemed to have already guessed his move and threw a punch directly.

Bang!

That punch, with its irresistible force, sent Zhang Yong flying.

His horse-slaying sword also fell to the ground.

"I lost."

Once Zhang Yong came to his senses, he immediately understood that Nangong Wuxin had already held back against him.

"Nangong Wuxin advances to the next round."

"Next match, number 13!"

Countless eyes were watching Nangong Wuxin, and many were speculating about his strength.

Zhang Yong is a six-star Dou Ling, ranked thirty-eighth on the strength list. To defeat Zhang Yong so easily, Nangong Wuxin's strength must be at least around an eight-star Dou Ling.

"Furthermore, this kid's physical strength must be terrifying..."

On the stands, several elders were discussing Nangong Wuxin's performance just now. Details that others missed were crystal clear to them.

That punch wasn't empowered by any battle qi; it was pure physical strength.

"Who do you think is stronger, Wuxin or that little devil?"

"Of course... well, I really can't say right now."

Elder Huo hesitated for a moment. He only knew that Nangong Wuxin had exceptional talent in alchemy, but he didn't really know much else about him.

The latest novel is first published here!

Especially considering Nangong Wuxin's seemingly effortless demeanor just now, it was clear that he wasn't using his full strength.

"I think that girl is stronger. After all, magical beasts are quite powerful in terms of physical strength. Wuxin is just an ordinary human. Even if he has cultivated some kind of physical technique, he is only at the Dou Ling realm now, while that girl is already a Dou Wang..."

Tu Yuanlao has the authority to speak on this matter, as he practiced it a little when he was young.

Humans are skilled at cultivating battle qi and the soul, which has led to the emergence of noble professions such as alchemists.

Compared to humans, monsters only have the advantage of physical strength, which is naturally a unique advantage.

On the other side, Nangong Wuxin, who had just returned to his seat, was stared at by Zi Yan's curious eyes, as if she wanted to see the answer in his face.

Anyway, the girl didn't ask, and Nangong Wuxin pretended not to see anything, saying nothing and quietly watching the battle below.

Nangong Wuxin takes everything very seriously when it comes to matters concerning his own life and safety.

The battles between these top-ranked players are well worth watching. You can learn from their strengths and also take their mistakes as a warning.

With the perception of a sixth-grade alchemist, the combat skills of the people below were displayed very clearly in front of him, even appearing in his mind frame by frame, as if in slow motion.

Nangong Jing's opponent surrendered immediately upon seeing her stand up, given the overwhelming momentum of the female swordswoman during this period.

"The first round is over. There are 25 people in the second round. There is one blank bamboo stick and 24 bamboo sticks, 12 red and 12 blue."

The first round was over before the sun reached noon.

The Grand Elder's voice rang out, and those who had advanced to the second round began to draw lots.

"Red and Blue Number Three, stay; everyone else, leave."

Nangong Wuxin glanced at the bamboo skewer in his hand and twitched the corner of his mouth.

This luck is just unbelievable.

Nangong Wuxin's opponent this time is a Seven-Star Battle Spirit Yan Hao, who seems to be a minor character with a name, and whose weapon is a giant hammer.

He was quite strong, but unfortunately he encountered Nangong Wuxin.

Although she claimed to be bad at combat, that was only in comparison to Nangong Jing. Moreover, she had the advantage in cultivation level and stats:

[Precision: 400]

Gas: 293

God: 400

? : 0】
