Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 170, Champion of the Dan Tournament

"This old guy's alchemy skills have improved quite a bit."

Seeing that Qinghua Old Monster had successfully refined the eighth-grade pill of the Three-Colored Thunder Pill, Xuan Kongzi nodded slightly.

He knew, of course, that the Old Monster Qinghua had come for the strange fire.

Otherwise, even ordinary rewards wouldn't be enough to make the old monster Qinghua swallow his pride and compete with these juniors.

"Now there are only two players left on the field."

All three of them turned their gazes toward the two people on the field—Xiao Yan and Ning Su.

They are the only two still in the Core Formation stage, but judging from the aura emanating from their cauldrons, they shouldn't be producing low-grade pills.

"It seems that Xiao Yan has truly inherited Yao Chen's teachings; he has the same demeanor as Yao Chen back then," Tian Lei Zi laughed.

"Back then, Yao Chen also overwhelmed all the competitors at the Pill Gathering and won the championship. I wonder if his disciple has the same ability this time."

Xuan Yi didn't speak, but his attention was always focused on Xiao Yan.

Xuan Kongzi, however, noticed Ning Su: "I've never seen this person before. Where is this alchemist from?"

Those who can wait until the end are either eighth-rank or seventh-rank alchemists.

If it's an old guy, then forget it.

But Ning Su looked very young. It was impossible for such a young seventh or eighth-grade alchemist to be without a master.

"This person is called Ning Su. He is not from Zhongzhou. He only appeared in Zhongzhou in recent years."

"Moreover, he has quite a reputation in the Northern Region of Central Continent. The Ice Venerable of Ice River Valley was killed some time ago, and it was he who did it," Tian Leizi said.

"Is he Ning Su?" Xuan Kongzi asked, somewhat surprised.

The killing of Ice Venerable a while ago caused a huge uproar throughout the Central Continent.

"It's him. I heard that he helped Valley Master Tang of Burning Flame Valley refine Fire Bodhi Pills not long ago. His alchemy skills should be around the advanced seventh rank, and he may be able to refine eighth-rank pills."

In Zhongzhou, someone who can cause such a commotion is bound to be known.

The Dan Tower wasn't just about alchemy; they were also aware of the major events happening in the Central Plains.

"I wonder who his teacher is, that he could produce such an outstanding student."

"And I reckon in the end it will be a battle between him and Xiao Yan for first place."

As a master alchemist, one can judge the quality of a pill by the aura it exudes as it nears completion.

The aura emanating from the pills in Ning Su's and Xiao Yan's medicine cauldrons was almost identical.

"Bang!"

Finally, almost simultaneously, the two struck the medicine cauldron, causing the lid to fly off and transform into a towering pillar of energy that shot straight into the sky.

boom!

Two beams of light pierced the sky simultaneously, turning the heavens upside down and thunder ripped through the air.

Two thunderclouds gathered simultaneously and then began to show color.

One color!

Two colors!

Three colors!

Without any difficulty, both of their Danleis appeared in three colors at the same speed.

Everyone held their breath, watching what was happening before them.

Finally, the fourth color appeared!

Four-Colored Thunderclap!

Moreover, there were two four-colored thunderbolts!

At this moment, everyone knew that the champion would be one of these two!

Xiao Yan's thunderclouds stopped at four colors. A fifth color was faintly about to emerge, but ultimately failed to form.

But after the fourth color appeared in Ning Su's thundercloud, a fifth color slowly began to appear!

"The fifth color has appeared... it's a five-colored thundercloud!"

"My God! It's a five-colored thundercloud!"

"That's insane!"

The five-colored thunderclouds would be considered top-grade even among eighth-grade pills.

Even the three giants couldn't help but show surprise.

Although their alchemy skills can also produce pills that can create five-colored thunderclouds, and even six- or seven-colored thunderclouds.

But how many years of accumulated alchemy skills do they possess?

Now, a young man has actually refined an eighth-grade pill with five-colored thunder!

Their talent far surpasses theirs!

Give Ning some more time, and he will surely surpass them!

"I didn't expect this year's Dan Conference to have so many surprises."

At this moment, everyone was extremely excited.

"Five-Colored Pill Lightning... Has this guy's alchemy skill improved this quickly too?"

The one who was most affected was Xiao Yan.

Back in the world of alchemy, he had told Ning that they would settle the score in this final round using alchemy techniques.

In the end, he still lost.

This scene was just like the alchemist conference in the Gama Empire. Even though he was already very strong, Ning Su still managed to outdo him!

"Is it really true that I can't beat him even once in my life?"

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly felt a sense of helplessness and bitterness.

The latest novel is first published here!

……

Attracting the Dan Lei (a type of lightning bolt) will naturally lead to the extraction of the Dan.

Countless bolts of lightning struck the sky, and only after everyone used their skills to catch them did the sky regain its clarity.

The pills in the medicine cauldron were also taken out.

Elixirs of grade seven and below, no matter how high their quality, lack spirituality.

However, eighth-grade pills already possess a rudimentary spirituality and can condense spiritual energy.

Different eighth-grade elixirs have different appearances.

Dan Chen's elixir is made of rabbit, and Cao Ying's elixir is made of rabbit.

The old monster Qinghua's elixir was made of a bear, while Xiao Yan's elixir was made of a tiger.

Only Ning Su's elixir was depicted as a fiery python.

Because his pills were of the highest quality, the aura emitted by the fire python was also the strongest. Others' eighth-grade pills could only guard their own places and dared not be the slightest bit presumptuous.

The meeting has progressed to this point, and we can now announce the results.

Xuan Kongzi stood atop the tower and announced loudly,

"Everyone has witnessed the results of this round of competition, and since the eighth-grade pills are based on spiritual essence, the most precious pill has now been created."

"I hereby declare that the champion of this year's Dan Games is—Ning Su!"

As Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, the entire arena erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

Today they witnessed the birth of five Grade 8 pills!

This scene will be unforgettable for all alchemists, and they can tell their descendants about this magnificent sight even decades later.

"Dan won the championship... This feels pretty good."

Enjoying the admiring gazes of countless people around her, Ning Su also felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Xuan Kongzi flew down and said to him, "Ning Su, you are the champion of the Pill Gathering, and you will become one of the candidates for the Pill Tower giant in the future."

Although he didn't know much about Ning Su.

But as the champion of the Dan Games, Ning Su has the qualifications.

At the same time, Xuan Kongzi also gave Ning Su a scroll of soul fighting skills as a prize for winning the championship.

"The champion has been crowned. The Star Domain will open in two days. The top ten from the Pill Gathering will be able to enter the Star Domain and attempt to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames!"

Xuan Kongzi's words excited everyone.

They have no chance of winning the championship.

But there's still a chance with the strange fire!

If they could obtain the strange fire, they would have no regrets in this life!
