Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: I Forfeit
Boom...
A wisp of flame instantly gathered in Xiao Yi’s hand.
Beside him, an alchemy furnace appeared out of thin air.
One by one, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were constantly thrown out from Xiao Yi’s hand.
"Refining?" Qing Lin frowned slightly.
The academic elders reacted, "Do you want to now refine a large quantity of Charming Heart detoxification pills to forcibly eliminate the poison in Qin Yi’s body?"
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded.
"Can you make it in time?" Elder Yun Yuan asked in a deep voice.
This was the first time he spoke since the first round of the contest began.
Xiao Yi nodded, understanding Elder Yun Yuan’s meaning.
If he couldn’t make it in time, Elder Yun Yuan would rather borrow medicine from Heavenly Medicine Peak, at worst, owing a favor.
"Tong Ye, come over." Xiao Yi called out loudly.
Tong Ye came over quickly, saying, "Me, refine? Although I am a Fire Control Warrior, I’m not good at alchemy, this..."
"No need." Xiao Yi interrupted, "Just lend me your fire, that’s enough."
"Alright." Tong Ye nodded, and a stream of flames gathered in his hand.
The astonishing temperature filled the surroundings immediately.
Tong Ye is not only the Sub Hall Master of Flame Hall, but also a Fire Control Demon by nature.
The flame he possesses is one of the top flames, second only to the most powerful flames in the world.
Xiao Yi concentrated at his fingertips, guiding Tong Ye’s flame into the alchemy furnace.
Inside the alchemy furnace, the temperature instantly shot up, greatly increasing the burning speed of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Fire Guiding?" Tong Ye’s expression changed in surprise, "This is an extremely high-level fire control technique, I can’t even do it, Xiao Yi, you..."
Xiao Yi remained silent, only rapidly refining the elixir.
Just a few minutes later.
Elixirs leapt out from the alchemy furnace.
Xiao Yi grabbed them and fed Qin Yi.
Then, he used his fingertips on Qin Yi’s body again, quickly neutralizing the medicinal power.
A few minutes later, Qin Yi’s dark face gradually returned to normal.
The academic elders sensed it and breathed a sigh of relief, "The Charming Heart Poison is resolved, next is just to recover from the injuries."
The surrounding academic disciples also sighed in relief upon hearing this.
"Phew." Xiao Yi exhaled lightly, withdrawing his fingers.
Qin Yi was fine now, and the original commotion at the Black Cloud Academy’s seats returned to normal.
Xiao Yi glanced at the martial arts arena.
On the martial arts arena, the red-clothed woman had already left the stage.
"Heavenly Stacked Peak, Mo Youh." Xiao Yi muttered to himself, his gaze grew cold.
Although the red-clothed woman’s name wasn’t well-known.
After the contest, she returned to the seat of the Heavenly Hidden Academy, to the Heavenly Stacked Peak seat, proving she is a disciple of Heavenly Stacked Peak.
Among the Heavenly Hidden Twelve Peaks, Heavenly Stacked Peak and Heavenly Sound Peak, almost all disciples are female.
Xiao Yi coldly looked at the position of Heavenly Stacked Peak.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed.
"What’s up?" Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, but found surrounding elders and disciples staring at him strangely.
"Xiao Yi," an academic elder said, looking quirky, "where did you learn your alchemy skills?"
"The Charming Heart detoxification pill’s refining requires extraordinarily complex Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"Yet you directly threw everything into the furnace, refining dozens of materials simultaneously, skipping heat activation, separation, liquid fusion, and other steps, directly solidifying the pill for the fastest refining speed."
Right, to save time, Xiao Yi directly skipped a series of refining steps.
After directly refining the materials, he proceeded to solidify the pill immediately.
This wasn’t impossible, but it required incredibly high control and mastery over various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and extraordinarily high demands on the refinement technique itself.
"Heh." Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, "As Qing Lin said earlier, I love to roam around."
"If I don’t practice some refining skills, venturing outside requires a lot of elixirs, and I don’t have enough money to hire an Alchemist to refine them for me."
"You don’t have money?" The academic elder’s face twitched.
"I noticed just now, you casually used a large quantity of high-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."
"Even for the rare Charming Heart detoxification pill materials you have plenty, how much normal high-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures do you have?"
"I even suspect you are carrying a treasure vault with you."
"Heh." Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly.
"Your fire guiding technique just now..." Tong Ye, seeing Qin Yi was fine, questioned further.
Xiao Yi shrugged, "You all should know how weak my control is with the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul."
"Since my Martial Soul itself is lacking, I can only spend a lot of time mastering fire control skill."
"After all, refining requires fire control techniques."
"Naturally, I spent lots of time honing it, and my fire control techniques are not weak."
"I see." Tong Ye was finally enlightened.
An academic elder beside shook his head, "It’s a pity, if it weren’t for your Fire Control Beast Martial Soul limiting you."
"With your potential, you’d be an extraordinary alchemy demon."
"That’s regrettable?" Qing Lin’s eyes widened.
"He’s already scary strong right now."
"If even his refining and fire control were extremely strong, how terrifying would he become?"
Xiao Yi gave Qing Lin a glare, then went back to his seat, pretending to nap as usual.
The contests on the martial arts arena never stopped.
As the three judges announced again and again, contests proceeded nonstop.
Some were relatively dull.
Some were brilliantly executed.
Like the Chiefs of the Five Great Academies, Linghu Wang, Golden Dawn, and the remaining three who also took the stage for contests.
No doubt, the stage appearance of these three stirred continuous cheers from the surrounding audience seats.
The Five Great Academies, five Chiefs, the five supreme geniuses that earned everyone’s admiration.
Strength, talent, potential, the forces behind them, all create the aura that distinguishes them from everyone else.
They are recognized as the strongest five within the Hundred Schools.
In the Black Cloud Academy’s seats, Qing Lin muttered to himself, "This first round is almost ending, isn’t it?"
"Still a few dozen rounds." Xiao Yi nodded.
Until now, the contests on the martial arts arena had already exceeded two thousand.
At this moment, the three judges’ voices raised again.
"Number 4921, Black Cloud Academy, Mo Youh, come to the stage."
Swish...
Mo Youh flashed and leaped onto the martial arts arena.
Almost the instant Mo Youh stood on the arena, the entire audience seats went silent.
No exclamations, no comments.
Only one after another, reverent gazes and wary faces.
The eyes of disciples from all schools almost instantly focused on Mo Youh.
This situation hadn’t occurred even for the five Chiefs.
"Forget Sorrow Sword, Mo Youh." Linghu Wang first whispered.
The next second, including Golden Dawn and the other Chiefs, their eyes filled with fighting spirit, all focused on Mo Youh.
Many years ago, the name Mo Youh had already resounded everywhere, shocking the academies.
"Forget Sorrow Sword," those three words are akin to a Divine Sword that can only be admired from afar, firmly pressing on the heads of all Heavenly Talents, including the Five Chiefs.
Facing countless gazes, Mo Youh merely smiled lightly and asked the judges, "Where’s my opponent?"
The three judges furrowed their brows and loudly called, "Number 4922, Beili Academy, Liao Tao, why aren’t you on stage yet?"
The three judges frowned and looked toward the seats of Beili Academy.
They had already called Liao Tao’s name several times.
Beili Academy is ranked below the top 50 schools.
At this moment, a young man slowly stood up from Beili Academy’s seats, "I... I... I forfeit."
The young man struggled to utter the words.
...
