The moment that Liu Feng saw this message, he turned around to look at Han Dingsun. So did he.
They turned at the same time, and looked at each other carefully. But Liu Feng could see something in the edge of Han Dingsun's eyes. He was looking at something else completely.
He was looking at what Liu Feng was looking at.
"You-"
"Shhh" Han Dingsun put his index finger on his mouth.
"Do you want everyone to know about it?" he asked.
"You are also a host? I should have known. You probably have an alchemy system. Genius my foot." Liu Feng said.
"If you put it like that, then yeah. But then again, who are geniuses? They are the people who are blessed by the heavens and are given an easier time understanding certain things. Some of them have heavenly physiques that make them invincible. Aren't those also cheats? I am a genius because I have been blessed by a system, and so have you. But I did not think there would be another alchemy system." Han Dingsun said.
"Another alchemy system? Have you met a few system users elsewhere?" Liu Feng took a step forward so that their conversation remained a little private.
Still, he was on full alert, because even a single move by Han Dingsun would injure him.
"Do not think that I would attack you. After all, I have a mission to complete, don't I? I need to defeat you in a pill battle. It will be quite the showdown. A battle between systems." Han Dingsun chuckled.
"You haven't answered my first question. Did you meet any system users elsewhere? How many are there?" Liu Feng asked.
"I met a few here and there. I was sent to this place, I think you were too. But it was doable. I could survive and get out. It seems like all of this is quite the show, keeping the fighting bulls well shaped and fed." Han Dingsun said.
"If there are so many system users here, then I have no doubt that there will be more outside, probably in these ancient realms." Liu Feng said.
"I am sure there will be. Oh! It looks like Handu wins the first round!" Han Dingsun said as he looked down upon the arena.
Gu Hua looked at her opponent with shock. She was utterly defeated in this round, even though she was completely sure of herself.
But she collected herself together and went back to where she sat.
"I lost because of that damned Liu Tian. He distracted me that day, and the internal injuries have persisted since." she said.
Even though she was so far away, everyone here was a cultivator, and could hear her clearly. They knew that these were mere excuses, and she was trying to save a little face.
"It seems like you have your fair share of enemies already. I think you were a little unlucky when you came here?" Han Dingsun laughed.
"A little unlucky? You were reincarnated as a prince. The seventh prince of Handu. You had a lavish life. Me, I was reincarnated as an idiot son who was crippled." Liu Feng gnashed his teeth when he thought about how bad his circumstances of reincarnation were."
"And the first battle will go to Handu! It was a spectacular battle, and every alchemist here knows that the two contestants have given their best. But our very own has inched by." the middle aged man announced with fervor.
Why wouldn't he be happy when Handu was in an upper leg?
"And as for the next battle of pill fire formations, please come forward from both teams." he said.
Liu Feng still had no idea what all these tests were. He just controlled the flame like the system told him to. He did not know what else was there. And he certainly did not understand what pill fire formations entailed.
This time around, Bai Zhiqui stepped forward while another young man from Handu stepped up.
"It seems like your kingdom is full of beauties in the alchemy field. You are so lucky compared to me. Every lady in alchemy who happens to be beautiful is rare found, and has a terrible temperament." Han Dingsun sighed.
"So is the case here." Liu Feng shook his head. "So is the case here."
The two took out there furnaces which laid bare open. The trial had started and Liu Feng looked keenly as to what was happening.
The pill fire within the furnace started expanding, and it started splitting. One pill fire became two. Two became four. And soon, the entire arena was lit up with pill fires.
"So they are literally making pill fires? What kind of stupid ideology is this? If there is a pill battle, it is supposed to be a simple pill battle. It should be one pill and whoever can make it better should win." Liu Feng muttered.
"I agree. All these are completely unnecessary, but time is of the essence. We need to get back to the kingdom by tomorrow." Han Dingsun said.
"Really? Why?" Liu Feng asked.
"That must remain a secret for now." Han Dingsun smiled knowingly.
Liu Feng shook his head and looked at the arena once more. The number of pill fires was frightening. While there were thirty two on the side of Handu, Bai Zhiqui had a mind boggling ninety six!
"It looks like we win this round." Liu Feng smiled.
"How can you be so sure? The battle is not over yet. It is only over once they are able to create a pill on all the fires simulaneusly. They will probably make a Qi Supplement Pill of the lowest grade as it is the easiest to make." Han Dingsun said.
"It is not over yet? Then why did she make so many pill fires? She could just do a few more than her opponent right?" Liu Feng was surprised.
