Chapter 938: Huang Xiaolong Challenges Sun Yi
Seeing Huang Xiaolong withstand the Ninth Tribulation Thunder, the entire Alchemy Square was in an uproar.
Nine Tribulation Divine Pill!
It's known that every Nine Tribulation Divine Pill is a priceless treasure, not something money can buy.
And now, since Huang Xiaolong has survived the Ninth Tribulation Thunder, when the pill is formed, it will definitely be the Nine Tribulation Divine Pill, and generally, each furnace yields more than ten pills, sometimes over twenty!
Of course, after the initial shock, some speculated whether Huang Xiaolong might trigger the Tenth Tribulation Thunder.
However, Huang Xiaolong stopped.
The Ninth Tribulation Thunder, each bolt, is enough to severely injure a normal Divine Level Tenth Rank Early Stage expert. Even with Huang Xiaolong transformed into the Ancient Divine Dragon, he could not fully guarantee to withstand the Tenth Tribulation Thunder.
Anyway, his Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill easily secures the first place in this Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance competition.
Huang Xiaolong's target is just the first place for this session.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong stop without triggering the Tenth Tribulation Thunder, everyone let out a sigh.
At this moment, having absorbed the thunder power of the Ninth Tribulation, the fused Divine Beast materials emitted increasingly dazzling rings of brilliance, releasing waves of Elixir Fragrance continuously.
A melody infused with the truth of Heaven and Earth echoed throughout heaven and earth.
Then, golden Elixir Pills flashing with crystal brilliance slowly flew out from the light.
No more, no less, a total of twenty-six pills!
Seeing the twenty-six Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pills hovering in mid-air, Sun Yi's face turned extremely grim. He hadn't expected to underestimate Huang Xiaolong.
He not only underestimated Huang Xiaolong's Alchemy Skill but also underestimated Huang Xiaolong's power!
For Huang Xiaolong to withstand the Ninth Tribulation Thunder, his strength was no weaker than his!
He was at the Divine-level Tenth Rank Early Stage Peak!
How long has Huang Xiaolong been cultivating?
During the God Promotion Competition, Huang Xiaolong's bone age was just over two hundred, and now, not even three hundred years!
Seeing Huang Xiaolong produce the Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill, Mo Su's face turned ashen, his previous pride and exuberance vanished without a trace, his eyes dull.
In terms of strength, you are not as strong as me, and in alchemy, you have no qualifications to compete with me!
Mo Su felt an intense sense of humiliation recalling Huang Xiaolong's earlier words!
Mo Su's alchemy skills were unmatched even among the Ancient Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan Patriarch Mo Dingtian considered himself inferior. Yet, his once-prided alchemy skills were nothing before Huang Xiaolong!
Wangu Ye and Li Lu were both shocked upon seeing Huang Xiaolong produce the Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill.
At this point, some elders from the Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance Headquarters carefully placed one of Huang Xiaolong's Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pills in a Jade Bottle and sent it to the podium for all the elders to appraise.
The other Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pills were personally kept by Huang Xiaolong.
In fact, there was no need for the elders to appraise it.
After all, this was an onsite concoction. Everyone saw Huang Xiaolong trigger the Ninth Tribulation Thunder and withstand its power.
Looking at the Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill before them, the elders were full of praise and admiration.
Soon, the elders completed the appraisal and publicly announced the results.
"Huang Xiaolong, Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill, time taken: three hours, thirty-six minutes, and twenty-nine seconds!" Wangu Biran's voice echoed throughout the square.
Sun Yi was indignant but unable to change this outcome.
Upon hearing Wangu Biran announce the result, Huang Xiaolong sat down, waiting quietly for this competition to conclude.
According to the competition rules, no matter who the contestant is, after completing their alchemy, they must remain in place until the competition is over.
Three days passed quickly.
The Alchemy Grandmaster Alliance competition finally ended.
Ultimately, Huang Xiaolong won first place without any suspense!
Wangu Ye ranked second, having concocted the Seven Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill in two days and over three hours!
Li Lu unexpectedly came in third, having concocted the Five Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill in over two days!
It was an eye-opener for everyone, as the initially favored first place contender, Devil Son Mo Su, only came in fourth! Despite concocting the Five Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill like Li Lu, he took more than four additional hours.
Originally, with Mo Su's strength and alchemy skills, concocting the Seven Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill was not difficult, but Huang Xiaolong's prior success with the Nine Tribulations Wan Ling Divine Pill greatly affected his mental state, preventing him from showcasing his true alchemy level, resulting in only a five-tribulation pill.
Though ranking fourth, it's still an honor.
But for Mo Su, this was a disgrace!
The accompanying Supreme Elder from the Demon Clan, Mo Zhenru, looked displeased.
During the rewards presentation, Huang Xiaolong received a Space Ring from Wangu Biran containing one hundred Nine Tribulation Divine Pills, one hundred Ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines, one hundred Holy-level Divine Stones, and one hundred Flame Green Spirit Stones.
After the top ten rewards were given out, Wangu Biran kindly asked Huang Xiaolong, "According to the rules, each competition's first place can not only enter the Elixir River for cultivation but also challenge any elder to a refinement duel. Which elder would you like to challenge?"
Huang Xiaolong suddenly pointed at Sun Yi, speaking coldly, "Sun Yi, as an Alliance Headquarters elder, do you dare to compete with me?"
Do you dare to compete with me!
Infused with Huang Xiaolong's Divine Power, this phrase exploded like Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, echoing in waves.
Everyone looked at Sun Yi on the podium.
During the initial alchemist assessment and preliminary round, Sun Yi repeatedly made things difficult for Huang Xiaolong. Huang Xiaolong's enmity with the Creation Gate was no secret, and everyone watched Sun Yi with anticipation.
Sun Yi sneered, "Huang Xiaolong, what is your status! As an ordinary alchemist, what qualifies you to compete in alchemy with me!"
As Sun Yi's words fell, there was an uproar among the crowd.
Although Sun Yi didn't explicitly state it, the implication was clear—he rejected Huang Xiaolong's challenge!
Nobody expected Sun Yi to be so shameless!
Not only did he refuse Huang Xiaolong's challenge, but he did so in such a righteous manner!
Huang Xiaolong is the competition's first place, challenging an elder is part of the rules, yet Sun Yi claimed Huang Xiaolong was unqualified!
Wangu Biran frowned and spoke to Sun Yi, "Elder Sun Yi, as an Alliance Headquarters elder, you should know the competition rules. Huang Xiaolong can challenge any elder in alchemy."
Sun Yi sarcastically replied, "Wangu Biran, does the competition rule state that the challenged elders cannot refuse?"
Wangu Biran, You Wushang, and others were stunned.
Indeed, while the rules allowed the competition's first place to challenge any elder in alchemy, they did not state the challenged elder could not refuse!
Wangu Biran found himself in a difficult position.
He was not the Union President and lacked the authority to force Sun Yi to accept Huang Xiaolong's challenge.
At this point, Sun Yi tauntingly said to Huang Xiaolong, "I understand what you want. I won against your teacher with my alchemy skills back then, and your teacher died miserably as a result. You hope to defeat me now in alchemy and avenge your teacher's death! Yet, I do not accept your challenge now; what can you do? Of course, if you manage to pass the five challenges in Pill God Palace and become the Union President of the Alliance Headquarters, then you would have the authority to command me to compete in alchemy with you!"
Sun Yi continued mockingly, "However, no one been able to pass Pill God Palace for over a million years. Do you think you can?" (To be continued.
