Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Saint Heir of the Divine Temple (2)_1

"I concede. Referee, why haven’t you made the call yet?" Fang Tian urged impatiently.

Snapped back to attention by Fang Tian’s prodding, the referee confirmed, "Are you sure you want to withdraw?"

Fang Tian nodded.

"Very well," the referee said, then announced, "On platform 8, Baili Xie wins!"

The spectators in the stands were puzzled as to why the competition had started a little while ago, yet no one on platform 8 had begun, when suddenly the referee declared the result.

"It seems one party from an empire conceded voluntarily upon encountering another."

"Look, that Dugu Qianye doesn’t have any Phantom Power fluctuations!"

"Eh? Really!"

"If he’s not a dud, then he must be wearing a Spiritual Artifact that hides Phantom Power. But even a Spiritual Artifact can’t hide it so thoroughly, right?"

"Could he really be a dud? Someone who got here through connections to participate in the competition?"

The people in the stands speculated wildly. Dugu Qianye didn’t pay them any attention and left the platform together with Fang Tian.

After returning to the resting area, Dugu Qianye began observing the competitors on each platform. Some of them would become her opponents.

The first platform featured Mo Ziqing, whose opponent was from the Gabina Empire. There was no suspense, and she moved on without a second glance.

The second platform showcased the fourth prince of the Glei Empire, a level 5 Phantom King, up against the second prodigy of the Cangqiong Empire, a 23-year-old level 5 Phantom King. Being second for a reason, as the first talent was Cang Jin. They battled for a while, evenly matched, until they summoned their Phantom Beasts. Lin Yu’s Phantom Beast was a level 1 Divine Beast, while his opponent’s was merely a level 9 Holy Beast, so the outcome was soon clear.

The third platform was a face-off between the Glei Empire and the Gabina Empire, a level 5 Phantom King against a level 3. The result was obvious.

Dugu Qianye looked over them one by one, until the last platform.

On the platform were Cang Jin and a competitor from the Glei Empire. Both were level 6 Phantom Kings, but the latter was clearly being overpowered. Their Phantom Beasts were nearly on par.

"This Cang Jin’s combat strength is indeed quite formidable," Dugu Qianye thought.

"Ah!"

Cang Jin thrust his sword, stopping just a centimeter from his opponent’s heart.

"I concede," came a weak voice, barely audible, but the referee heard it.

"On platform 10, Cang Jin wins!" the referee declared.

"Thump."

Cang Jin pulled his sword out, and blood sprayed on his face. The physicians below hurriedly came up to carry the unconscious person away for treatment. Cang Jin suddenly turned to look at Dugu Qianye, and seeing her watching him, he licked the blood off his lips and gave her a bloodthirsty smile.

Dugu Qianye glanced at him indifferently and then shifted her gaze elsewhere.

The first set of matches was quickly over, and after a 10-minute break, those with numbers 11 to 20 continued to compete. Dan Jingtian, Ye Canglan, He Yan, and Long Xiang were all in this group. Like Dugu Qianye, Dan Jingtian’s opponent was from the Mors Empire, and they forfeited as soon as they took the stage, making him the first to advance to the top 20.

Soon, Dan Jingtian, Ye Canglan, and a few others finished their battles, all with resounding victories. As such, the Mors Empire had Dugu Qianye, Mo Ziqing, Dan Jingtian, Ye Canglan, Long Xiang, and He Yan, 6 in total, advancing to the top 20.

"I’m going to check out the other competition areas, what about you?" asked Dugu Qianye.

"Yeah, yeah, let’s go. We’re not exactly tired from just now," said Dan Jingtian, the first to respond upon hearing Dugu Qianye’s suggestion.

The others nodded in agreement, as it wasn’t interesting to stay here. They might as well go watch Mo Feng and the others compete.

When the group arrived at the Alchemy Zone, the alchemists on stage were each concocting elixirs. Today’s competition involved making a second-grade Returning Power Pill, an elixir that helps fighters recover their strength. Although it was only second-grade, the concoction process was quite complex, and it was reasonable to use as a competition subject.

As time went by, competitors on stage successively completed their elixirs, placing them in Jade Bottles and waiting on stage for the others to finish. Once the final person was done, the judge came up to inspect the results. Out of 15 people, Mo Feng’s was top-grade, with 4 others at advance level, 6 at intermediate level, and 4 at basic level. The 4 at the basic level were directly eliminated, and the 6 at the intermediate level were ranked based on finishing time and the number of pills made, with the last one eliminated.

After the judge finished his evaluation, the competitors could leave. Mo Feng and He Lian and several others were stopped by a tall and thin man on their way down.

"You’re Mo Feng?" asked the man.

"Yes."

"I know you can concoct top-grade third-grade elixirs. But I can already concoct fourth-grade, so just wait to be defeated by me!" After making his declaration, the man turned and left, leaving a bewildered crowd behind.

"Do you have a grudge with him?" Dugu Qianye asked as she walked over.

"I know he is Liu Shang from the Gabina Empire, but we’ve never dealt with each other," Mo Feng shook his head.

"Liu Shang? It’s said that at 24, he can already concoct a fourth-grade basic level elixir. Brother, he has declared war on you. How about it, are you confident you can defeat him?" Dan Jingtian flung an arm around Mo Feng’s neck as he spoke.

Mo Feng removed his arm, not saying anything. He didn’t want to disclose that he had been a fourth-grade alchemist for half a year already; that would discourage him.

On the second day of competition, Dugu Qianye went straight to the Alchemy Zone. Today, the alchemist competition might come to an end, so many came to watch.

The judge went up to the stage and addressed the ready competitors, "Today is the last showdown of the alchemist competition. The top 10 can participate. This competition requires your own Pill Furnace and ingredients, with no time limit, you are free to exert your skills to concoct the highest-grade elixir you can. Each person only gets one chance. Alright, kids, start now!"

The previous matches had uniform Pill Furnaces provided by the organizer, using the same ingredients to concoct identical elixirs. The advantage of this was to test your basic skills. Now with self-provided Pill Furnaces and ingredients, the test was not only on alchemy skills but also on your financial resources, luck, and other aspects, as the higher the elixir you aimed to concoct, the higher grade the required ingredients.

Liu Shang was diagonally above Mo Feng. As soon as the judge’s voice fell, he turned and gave Mo Feng a provocative glance, then took out an all-black Pill Furnace from his ring, ignited the fire beneath it, and pulled out more than 40 types of ingredients, placing them on the table. Dugu Qianye noticed his provocation aimed at Mo Feng and paid special attention until he took out all his ingredients, after which she was relieved. He intended to concoct a fourth-grade Great Strength Pill designed to increase a Sword Master’s strength by 1 to 3 levels, but the effect only lasted 10 minutes.

As if he hadn’t seen the other’s provocation, Mo Feng glanced at his opponent in front of him, pondered for a moment, then took out his Pill Furnace and ingredients, readying them. Dugu Qianye glanced at the ingredients, aware that he was about to concoct a fourth-grade elixir. Given Mo Feng was now easily able to concoct fourth-grade elixirs, she wasn’t concerned.

She then looked at the other four competitors. He Lian was also preparing to concoct a fourth-grade elixir, but because his time as a fourth-grade alchemist was short, it was uncertain what level of elixir he would actually concoct. The remaining three were working on third-grade elixirs. She had once promised to raise their grade by one, and now she had fulfilled it.
