Fighting Against the Wind begins with the Dragon Flame

Chapter 40: Scorpion Rock

Time passed, and half a day went by quickly.

At the venue, flames of various colors rose from the medicine cauldrons, and waves of blazing fire swept out. A dozen or so alchemists were already close to making pills.

The conference hall was completely silent at this moment. The quiet atmosphere had lasted from the beginning of the conference until now.

Everyone's face turned pale, as if they were waiting for judgment, worrying whether the champion's decision would affect the mood of the Douhuang strongman on the stage and cause him to fight.

"Dong~dong~dong"

In the distance, the clock of the holy city of Gama rang on time.

When the bell rang twelve, the eleven alchemists who had been sitting cross-legged for a long time in the conference hall opened their eyes one after another.

"rise!"

Along with low shouts, nine streams of light flew out from the eleven medicine cauldrons placed horizontally. Nine figures stood up and took the pills in their hands.

"Haha, everyone, let's go."

Several people looked at each other, with a slightly bitter expression on their faces, then turned around and slowly walked down the middle platform.

As third-grade alchemists, they were not far from each other when refining medicine, so they could naturally notice that Gu He and Gu Te were both refining fourth-grade pills.

I had thought there might be a glimmer of hope since there were no fourth-grade alchemists participating in this Alchemist Conference, but it turned out to be in vain.

But it’s okay. In the fight between Douhuangs, only fourth-grade alchemists are capable of protecting themselves. They, the third-grade alchemists, should not get involved in this mess.

As the nine people stepped down from the stage, the only two remaining people instantly became the focus of the entire audience. In the two blue and black medicine cauldrons, two flames that had transformed into beasts surged, and round pills were tumbling in them, undergoing the final polishing.

In front of the green medicine cauldron, Gut's face was ashen, his hands were constantly moving, and streams of pure energy poured into the cauldron, using every possible means to improve the quality of the medicine.

He didn't expect that his brother had also reached the fourth level, and he didn't even know what kind of elixir those herbs were made into.

"Gu He, you really are my good brother for playing tricks on me like this."

As he thought about it with gritted teeth in his heart, his mood fluctuated, and the flame in the medicine cauldron suddenly twisted.

Gut quickly came to his senses and slapped the medicine cauldron hard. The lid of the cauldron flew out, and the flame in the cauldron was extinguished instantly. The fragrance of the elixir diffused from the cauldron and turned into a light green cloud, rushing into the sky and covering most of the venue.

"Humph--"

The pill was forced to take out of the cauldron early, and Gut's face became increasingly ugly. He snorted coldly and slapped the cauldron again. A stream of light flew out of the cauldron. After circling for a while, Gut stretched out his hand and caught the stream of light in his hand.

"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be two fourth-grade alchemists at this alchemist conference. This is cause for celebration."

On the high platform, Fa Ma smiled and moved his fingers slightly. The pill in Gut's hand instantly flew out and landed in Fa Ma's palm.

"Yes, a fourth-grade weather pill. Although it is only an entry-level fourth-grade pill, its quality is excellent. You can get the title of a fourth-grade alchemist."

He placed the pill in front of him and observed it for a moment. Then he nodded and said with a chuckle.

"Thank you, President."

Gut forced a smile, responded, and then walked off the stage.

He didn't know what kind of elixir Gu He was refining, but the slight fragrance of the elixir that was wafting through the air was already better than his own Weather Pill, so he had no chance of winning.

On the other side, Gu He watched Gu Te leave and was about to explain, but the pill in the medicine cauldron suddenly shook a few times, drawing his attention back.

The black medicine cauldron began to tremble violently. Gu He had a few beads of sweat on his forehead and hurried to stabilize the flame inside.

Not long after, the medicine cauldron seemed to have reached some kind of limit. With a bang, the lid of the cauldron shot up into the sky. A strong fragrance of elixir burst out instantly, and purple mist completely covered the entire venue.

"A fourth-grade top-level elixir! Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill!"

On the high platform, Fa Ma let out a cry of surprise.

Being able to refine the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill, a top-level fourth-grade elixir, Gu He is not far from becoming a fifth-grade alchemist.

"It's really like the new generation pushes the old generation forward. I'm getting old. It seems that this year's champion has been decided." Coming back to his senses, Fa Ma stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Gu He, are you willing to join my Yunlan Sect?"

"Koga, are you willing to join the royal family of Gama?"

At this moment, two loud and clear voices suddenly rang out. The square, which had been slowly becoming noisy, became quiet again. Everyone turned their eyes to Gu He, waiting for him to make a choice.

"I"

In the center of the venue, Gu He turned his head stiffly, his eyes a little vague, sweeping across the people on the stage, and finally fixed on Yun Yun.

"I want to join the Yunlan Sect."

"Okay! My Yunlan Sect will definitely do our best to train you."

Yunshan said kindly with a smile on his face.

"Jie Jie"

When everyone was watching the scene quietly, a cold laugh suddenly rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Who? Get out!"

On the high platform, Yunshan and Jia Xingtian looked in the same direction at the same time and shouted angrily in unison.

"Everyone from the Jiama Empire, today I will give you a great gift!"

The cold voice sounded again, but this time it was impossible to tell from which direction it came.

As the voice fell, black fog suddenly filled the venue. At the same time, a strong wind blew, carrying the black fog towards the crowd.

"Ah! What the hell?"

"Run!"

The black fog swept across, and when it touched the human body, it was like ice meeting boiling water, and the flesh and blood melted quickly. For a moment, the crowd rushed out, and screams were endless.

"Humph, you are a coward who hides his head and shows his tail. Are these the only despicable means you can use in the Izumo Empire?"

Jia Xingtian snorted coldly and exchanged a glance with Yunshan. Then, he instantly released the overwhelming pressure of a peak Douhuang, covering the entire Royal Square and stopping the rapidly expanding poisonous fog.

"The wind pushes the momentum!"

Yunshan put his hands together and pushed forward. A stronger gust of wind than before appeared and gathered all the poisonous fog together.

Although the Yunlan Sect and the royal family have a bad relationship, they are still able to unite against the common enemy, the Izumo Empire.

"Humph, it's rude not to reciprocate. Jia Xingtian, since you dared to send people to hinder our sect's breakthrough, you should have expected this day to come."

As the voice sounded, the poisonous fog dissipated, and a figure appeared on the square. He was wearing a black robe and a mask shaped like some kind of scorpion beast on his face.

The most important thing is that this figure was actually walking in the air, and there were no fighting wings behind him.

"Xie Biyan, have you broken through to Dou Zong?"

Yunshan and Jia Xingtian exclaimed in unison. Having fought with the Izumo Empire for many years, they naturally knew this figure.

Xie Biyan, the leader of the Wanxie Sect of the Izumo Empire and the strongest man in the Izumo Empire, led the Izumo Empire to fight against the Gama Empire for many years.

Jia Xingtian's eyes were particularly horrified. Clearly, the Dark Sea Dragon Beast had injured Xie Bi Yan who was in the process of breaking through, but he did not expect that he could actually break through to the Dou Zong level.

"Haha, I was thinking about consolidating my cultivation for a few years before coming to your Jia Ma Empire to crush the little bug that attacked me."

"But your Gama Empire is lucky to have such a genius. Don't worry, I won't give your Gama Empire a chance to turn things around."

"Xie Qing, I'll stop these two and kill that kid!"
