Chapter 354 - Battle of the Titans

The crowd was seething, all eyes turned towards the stone platform.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m sure I don’t need to tell you who the champion of the second round is, right?” President Meng Chuan said with a chuckle.

“Lin Xuan!

Lin Xuan!”

Across the entire plaza, a unified chant arose.

The sound surged like waves, incessantly pounding in all directions.

The faces of the Medicine Emperor Institute members were somber.

Although they were unwilling to admit it, Lin Xuan’s performance was beyond their expectations.

It was stunning!

“Ah, we lost!” Song Yunxing sighed, his body leaning weakly against the back of the chair.

Beside him, Elder Hei Xin gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with reluctance.

“Lin Xuan, it’s always Lin Xuan!” From the very first round, this mysterious young man had started to ruin his plans!

Now, the Dan King Hall had secured victories in two rounds.

It seemed the championship of the Pill King Competition was destined for Dan King Hall.

“No, they absolutely cannot get the White Dragon Ascending Pill!” A murderous intent flickered in Elder Hei Xin’s eyes.

The competition ended, and all the contestants returned to the stands.

Lin Xuan and the others rested, but the surrounding martial artists didn’t leave.

Because what was coming up next would be the most thrilling contest, a battle of the titans.

It was the third round of the Pill King Competition.

At that time, the true Pill King power would be determined.

Phew!

Lin Xuan drank a cup of Spiritual Wine, and under the protection of Old Man Di Que, he recovered most of his Soul Power and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“The next is the final round,” Lin Xuan slowly said, “Elder, what are your thoughts?”

“I’ve decided, I will refine the White Flower Marrow Cleansing Pill you gifted me,” Old Man Di Que said with a smile, “It’s an Ancient Fourth Grade Elixir, even more valuable than a Fifth-grade Elixir.”

“Then I wish you success,” Lin Xuan replied with a smile.

“Don’t worry, my young friend Lin, I still have some confidence,” the old man assured him.

An hour later, President Meng Chuan stood up again.

“I assume everyone has rested enough, now let’s proceed to the final round, the battle of the titans!”

“The rules are the same as the last round of the second round, whoever can refine the highest-grade Elixir within the allotted time will be the winner!”

“Let’s begin now!”

President Meng Chuan said with a smile, the issue with the Demon Clan was resolved, and his heart was at ease.

Now, as long as the final round smoothly concluded, this Pill King Competition would be considered a success.

“Come on, the final battle!”

Song Yunxing’s eyes shone with a fierce light, his entire being exuded a terrifying aura as he stepped onto the stone platform.

Following him, other forces sent out their strongest Inscription Masters.

However, in comparison to Song Yunxing, they were clearly lacking.

In the entire Heavenly Mountain Country, only Old Man Di Que could rival Song Yunxing.

The next moment, all eyes turned towards the Dan King Hall.

“Shall I go?” the Third Hall Master asked eagerly.

Lin Xuan had been too stunning in the previous rounds, and he had been brought in by the Great Hall Master.

Now in Dan King Hall, over sixty percent of the people were leaning towards the Great Hall Master.

This irritated him immensely, as over the years, he had managed to bribe many elders through various means.

Moreover, with the Great Hall Master often neglecting his duties, he had once controlled the Dan King Hall.

But these days, he felt that Dan King Hall was slipping from his control.

If he could demonstrate his strength in the third round, perhaps he could sway some elders back to his side.

By then, he would be able to keep contending with the Great Hall Master.

“No need,” Old Man Di Que said in a deep voice, “I will go up personally this time!”

“Going up personally?” The people of Dan King Hall boiled with excitement.

How many years had it been since the Great Hall Master had refined Elixir Pills in front of others?

“It’s a small matter; just let the third go,” the Second Hall Master said from the side, “Why bother you with it?”

“This is no small matter; we cannot lose this battle!” Old Man Di Que’s eyes burst with astonishing light, and a powerful aura surged from him.

As everyone watched, he slowly stood up.

“What?”

Everyone was stunned, followed by countless exclamations.

“Isn’t Old Man Di Que crippled?

How can he stand up again?”

“My god, the Great Hall Master has actually recovered, Dan King Hall can finally shine again!” Elder Jin laughed loudly.

President Meng Chuan was also surprised; he knew that Old Man Di Que was stricken with a strange poison.

Even he, as a Fifth-grade Inscription Master, could do nothing about this poison.

And now, Old Man Di Que had recovered; how could he not be shocked?

“Could it be because of him?” President Meng Chuan looked towards Lin Xuan.

“This…

how is this possible!” The Third Hall Master’s eyes widened, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

“When did he recover?” The Second Hall Master also became anxious.

Old Man Di Que’s performance left everyone dumbfounded.

On the Stone Platform, Song Yunxing looked down with a very solemn expression.

“Ha ha ha ha!

It feels so good to be able to walk!” Old Man Di Que laughed.

From now on, he would no longer need a wheelchair.

This time, instead of flying, he walked towards the Stone Platform step by step.

No wonder Old Man Di Que was excited, after all, he hadn’t walked for decades.

The feeling of stepping solidly on the ground was too wonderful!

“Hmph, recovered or not, I will not lose to you!” Song Yunxing snorted coldly.

He had the Spiritual Grade Treasure Furnace, and also the Elixir Recipe given to him by Elder Hei Xin.

Even if facing Meng Chuan, he was confident, let alone Old Man Di Que.

With a sweep of his robe, the Red Cloud Spirit Furnace appeared in mid-air, emitting dazzling light.

Half the sky turned red.

In his hands, the Spiritual Grade Treasure Furnace unleashed its true power.

“Ha ha ha ha!

Dean Song, when I was reigning over Heavenly Mountain Country, you were probably still learning Engraving!”

Old Man Di Que laughed, flipping his palm, a black Pill Furnace appeared in mid-air.

“Dan King Furnace!”

People were shocked; they looked with envious eyes at the black Pill Furnace in the sky.

The Dan King Furnace was the prize of the previous Pill King competition, also a Spiritual Grade Treasure Furnace, and its grade was even higher than the Red Cloud Spirit Furnace.

With this Treasure Furnace, Old Man Di Que did not lag behind Song Yunxing in terms of support.

As for the Elixir Recipe, he had an Ancient Elixir Recipe.

Looking at the Dan King Furnace, Song Yunxing’s face darkened; he snorted and began to refine Elixir Pills.

Old Man Di Que grinned widely and began to refine as well.

Below, the crowd was astounded to see the black Pill Furnace floating in the sky.

The elders of the Dan King Hall cheered wildly, only a very few were still standing next to the two Hall Masters.

At that moment, everyone was cheering for Old Man Di Que.

Not far away, Elder Hei Xin looked serious.

Although he had given Dean Song a precious Elixir Recipe, Old Man Di Que was not to be underestimated.

Moreover, his aura today was extraordinarily strong, making him extremely confident.

Such a state could greatly increase the success rate of Alchemy.

“Clearing Poison Pill, this is the Elixir I obtained inside the Four-Star Sect, I hope it can defeat Dan King Hall!” Elder Hei Xin prayed internally.
