Chapter 935: Li Lu, is that you?
Huang Xiaolong withdrew his gaze from the host's platform and scanned the surroundings.
Soon, he spotted Devil Son Mo Su among the contestants.
However, when Huang Xiaolong saw the graceful figure in a snow-white dress beside Devil Son Mo Su, he couldn't help but tremble all over, his eyes filled with excitement.
Li Lu!
Is it Li Lu?!
Yes, it's Li Lu!
Although Li Lu was wearing a veil, Huang Xiaolong still recognized at a glance that this graceful figure was definitely Li Lu.
Huang Xiaolong quickly walked towards Li Lu.
Li Lu also clearly saw Huang Xiaolong approaching and her beautiful eyes were momentarily flustered.
Within two or three breaths, Huang Xiaolong rushed to stand before Li Lu, his eyes burning, staring intently at Li Lu: "Li Lu, is it you?"
Over the years, Huang Xiaolong had thought that the past with Li Lu had become a piece of memory, sealed away, but seeing Li Lu now, he realized she had always been deep in his heart.
"I'm sorry, you've got the wrong person." Li Lu suddenly said to Huang Xiaolong with an indifferent expression: "I don't know you."
Huang Xiaolong was stunned.
However, although Li Lu hid it well, the trace of fleeting excitement in her eyes did not escape Huang Xiaolong's notice, indicating that Li Lu did recognize him.
Li Lu is lying!
Back then, when he killed the Divine Hall Master, Li Lu's mind should have recovered.
At this point, Devil Son Mo Su coldly said to Huang Xiaolong: "Huang Xiaolong, did you hear that? Miss Li Lu doesn't know you! Leave at once!"
After seeing Li Lu, Mo Su was amazed by her beauty. Although the hundred or so concubines he had collected were beautiful, none could compare to Li Lu. In his heart, Mo Su already considered Li Lu as his own, intending to recruit her to oversee his harem.
Now seeing Huang Xiaolong dare to approach his woman, Mo Su was naturally very displeased.
Of course, if it were any other disciple, he would have punched them dead long ago.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong turned his head abruptly, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent, looking at Mo Su, his voice low: "Get lost!"
Get lost!
The sound waves rolled, filled with shocking murderous intent.
All the disciples around couldn't help but look over.
Mo Su was extremely angry. He had always been the one telling others to get lost, and now Huang Xiaolong dared to tell him to get lost in public?! He clenched his fists, his eyes flowing with demonic qi, but then he recalled the scene two days ago when Huang Xiaolong had sent him flying with one palm.
Mo Su felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured from head to toe, instantly extinguishing the flames of rage in his heart.
"Fine, fine!" Mo Su took a deep breath, looking at Huang Xiaolong coldly: "Huang Xiaolong, I admit that your strength is greater than mine, but do you dare to compete with me in alchemy skills? Later, we'll see who ranks higher in the semifinals!"
Huang Xiaolong said indifferently: "In terms of strength, you're no match for me, and as for alchemy, you don't even qualify to compete with me."
Mo Su, extremely angry, laughed: "You say I don't qualify to compete with you in alchemy? I was first in the preliminary round, and you were only second. Your boastful words claim I don't have the right to compete with you in alchemy? Is it you who doesn't qualify, or me?"
Huang Xiaolong sneered: "If you're so eager to compete, then let's bet our lives!"
Bet our lives!
Mo Su was stunned.
"Bet your life and mine. Whoever loses shall publicly explode their divine status!" Huang Xiaolong said indifferently.
Publicly explode their divine status!
Mo Su's face became unsightly.
Although he was confident his alchemy skills surpassed Huang Xiaolong's, he didn't dare to wager his life.
"What? Afraid? If you don't dare, then stop barking here and get lost!" Huang Xiaolong shouted coldly.
Mo Su's face turned extremely unsightly, but in the end, he said nothing, turned, and left. His eyes were brimming with murderous intent, having decided to show Huang Xiaolong and everyone else later who truly had the qualifications!
Huang Xiaolong turned back, looking at Li Lu, slowly saying: "I don't know what happened back then, but for all these years, I've never stopped looking for you, Li Lu, I won't give up on you."
After speaking, Huang Xiaolong turned and left.
The semifinals of the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance tournament were about to begin, everything would have to wait until the competition ended.
Although he wasn't clear about what happened back then, or how Li Lu lived over these years, Huang Xiaolong could tell that Li Lu was still a maiden, which meant that these years, Li Lu hadn't sought another man to be her cultivation partner. Li Lu hadn't forgotten him!
Li Lu watched Huang Xiaolong's departing figure, her beautiful eyes reddening slightly, but since she wore a veil and quickly regained her composure, no one noticed.
On the host's platform, Sun Yi had a gloomy expression as well.
The relationship between Huang Xiaolong and Li Lu seemed to be?
Since Li Lu was taken as a disciple by the Creation Ancestor when passing through a remote Star River years ago, and as Li Lu had never explained her past, no one at the Creation Gate knew about her previous matters.
Sun Yi's eyes flickered, pondering something.
As time passed, about forty minutes later, the semifinals began.
Huang Xiaolong and the ten thousand Galaxy disciples who had made it to the semifinals stepped forward to draw lots, then stood in their respective space areas according to their drawn numbers.
On the Alchemy Square, prohibitions were set up to divide the square into ten thousand equally sized spaces, each a hundred square meters, and once the prohibitions were activated, each person's alchemy wouldn't affect another's.
Of course, these space prohibitions were transparent, and all contestants could see the alchemy processes of others.
The semifinals had a total of twelve rules.
The twelve elders on the host's platform each took turns briefly explaining one rule.
Then, Wangu Biran announced the start of the competition!
As soon as Wangu Biran's voice fell, various flames sprang into the air from the Alchemy Square below.
Although this semifinal had twelve rules, it was actually quite simple. Within each prohibited space, alchemy materials and a tripod furnace prepared in advance by the Alliance Headquarters were already available.
They just needed to use these alchemy materials and furnaces to refine the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Pill within three days.
Ranking would be based on quality!
If quality was indistinguishable, rankings would then be based on the forming pill time duration.
The Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Pill was a healing elixir, graded as a top-level Holy Pill, and was the highest grade across countless Star Rivers, also the most difficult to refine.
Previously, before Huang Xiaolong participated in the Divine Promotion tournament, he had spent over a trillion at the Wangu Clan Chamber of Commerce buying Undying Divine Pills, Absolute Divine Pills, and Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Pills, so he was no stranger to the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Pill.
"Thousand Beast Refining Diagram!" Just as Huang Xiaolong was about to start alchemy, some strong spectators outside the Square exclaimed.
Huang Xiaolong looked and saw that under Mo Su's control, the materials not far away flew up one by one, transforming into material divine beasts, exactly one thousand of them!
Next, in the space where Mo Su stood, a series of black and shiny gases glimmering with crystal stone light surged down.
"Hell Demon Power!"
The crowd was in a commotion once again.
Seeing Mo Su being able to control Hell Demon Power, the elders on the host's platform also reacted one after another.
