Chapter 1338: Well Ahead

confirmed that there were no cheating mechanisms inside before nodding.Scenery then started his refined process quickly, making Fang Sheng feel amazed from the side. At least he could not perform such...Chapter 1338: Far ahead

Throughout the entire process, Shen Xiang had outperformed all the alchemists. Now, he was far ahead of them. He already had 180 points, and even if the next alchemist coming up to exchange points was him, there would still be a gap. Because his output of pills from each batch of ingredients was triple others, he was extremely vicious.

Liu Meng’er watched from the VIP booth with a puzzled expression. She saw Shen Xiang’s shadow in that person, and in her memory, Shen Xiang always exhibited extraordinary alchemy techniques during multiple alchemy competitions. He stunned everyone with the brilliance of his techniques. Now, this person was also like that and made her doubt whether it was him.

“Purple Orchid, I remember you told me many times that my younger brother was also in the limelight during alchemy competitions. Isn’t it true” Long Huishan looked at Yan Zilan who was in deep thought.

“Um Shen Xiang Yes, I watched the competition back then and his alchemy techniques were very refined. The output of pills, alchemy speed, and quality are all at their limit when he’s alchemizing. He always tries to pursue the ultimate peak in his alchemy, making it seem like he’s competing with others when he’s actually competing against himself.” Yan Zilan said softly, “This person here seems to be the same, unaffected by his surroundings and enjoying competing against himself.”

“That’s a realm! A competition with others, you only need to win the other person by just doing better than them. But when competing against yourself, you have to defeat your previous self and surpass your limits. If you can do that, then it’s not just winning by a little bit. This person might not win first place in the end, but they are still triumphant anyway.” The senior elder said. This made Long Huishan and Yan Zilan nod in agreement.

“Is this person like Shen Xiang Could it be that troublemaker” Long Huishan widened her eyes and looked at Shen Xiang’s back. She seemed to wish she could rush over immediately, grab him by the hair and ask him everything.

“Surely it’s him. If you’ve watched his competitions several times, you’d understand that he’s fully displaying his strength at the moment. There’s no way to hide this state,” said Yan Zilan as she let out a sigh, “He has many signature alchemy techniques. If he were forced to use them, his identity would definitely be revealed.”

“I’ll surely protect him. He’s my brother and a great benefactor of mine, no matter what happens to him.” Long Huishan said.

The senior elder nodded, “It’s just that the Dragon Emperor is hard to deal with. He’s here now and might do anything for the Green Dragon Devil Slayer Sword.”

Shen Xiang received ten more batches of Five-element Supreme Elixir ingredients and finished processing them. He then poured all the ingredients into the pill furnace, as if he would do this even if there were a hundred batches. This way, the speed could be faster.

Some of the alchemists secretly worried about Shen Xiang’s speed, as it was too fast. They were afraid that the ingredients would be used up.

Heptu Qi was watching Shen Xiang all the time, not missing any details. He deeply suspected that this person might be the alchemist who entered the palace and killed the demons, just like the one they found that day. If this was true, the Heavenly Mountain Holy Fruit might also be connected to him.

“Father King, how can we secretly investigate this person After the competition ends, there’s an hour break. Should we act then” Hetu Feng sent a message to Heptu Qi.

“I can’t agree. It’ll affect our reputation. Let’s wait until the competition ends and we have evidence. Right now, he has no identity and might be supported by a powerful force which could make us lose our fight. We’ve just gained power, and we’re in the middle of regaining strength. So it’s best if we avoid conflicts with other forces during this period,” Heptu Qi responded.

Shen Xiang’s pill furnace quickly turned red, and everyone was afraid of any doubts now. Shen Xiang’s success earlier already overturned the norms and stunned all the audience. Many alchemists who were watching from afar focused their eyes on Shen Xiang, ignoring the famous alchemists around them as they wanted to learn something from him. However, until now, they didn’t have any收穫.

“Little ghost, watch out for the Dragon Emperor. Be careful.” Huang Jinian sent a message to Shen Xiang from afar, as he was also frightened by Shen Xiang’s alchemy techniques earlier. He truly suspected that the person who taught him alchemy might have been from the Demon Slayer Peak.

“Who cares, I’m the headmaster of the Dragon Gate.” Shen Xiang replied with a smile.

“Good boy. If this happens, just blame the Dragon Emperor and run away. It sounds exciting.” Huang Jinian grinned.

The old woman from the Dragon Clan completed ten batches too, and she wasn’t bad. She refined twenty-five pills from each batch of ingredients and got seventy-five points, ranking second in the competition. However, she was far behind Shen Xiang and her expression wasn’t good at all as the young ghost had beaten her. She felt immense pressure too.

Not only did she feel this way, but all the alchemists felt the same. When Li Tianjun and the Fire Temple’s Myriad Rainbow Alchemist went up to submit their pills, they ranked third and fourth respectively. Li Tianjun got seventy-two points, surpassing the Myriad Rainbow Alchemist by more than three points.

Next was Shao Xuanyun and the Myriad Rainbow Alchemist got sixty-nine points each. About ten alchemists also got sixty-six points, showing the similar strength of these alchemists.

However, compared to Shen Xiang’s 180 points, they were not worth mentioning. They couldn’t even reach half of his points. The scores of the second and third place were still surpassed by Shen Xiang’s score, leaving those alchemists with a slightly green face. They were famous alchemists and the headmasters of powerful forces, but now they were stepped on by Shen Xiang with his high姿態.

“Most of the alchemists finished their first batch of ten ingredients, but I didn’t expect there to be such a difference in scores. That person is truly powerful. If his second furnace succeeds too, the gap will widen even more. This is only the beginning,” Wang Weiquan said as he watched Shao Xuanyun smiling. “Yun’er being a new participant can still rank so high, it’s not bad actually. She managed to tie with the Myriad Rainbow Alchemist.”

“Old Wang, where’s Xiangyue She’s your disciple. Even if she doesn’t compete, she should come here to watch.” Liu Zongyu asked.

Just then, he heard someone knocking on their booth door.

“Here we are. This must be Xiangyue, this little girl always goes wild and only comes back now,” Wang Weiquan immediately went to open the door, revealing Xiangyue Huasang who was there.

“Master!” Xiaolangyu shouted happily when she entered.

After entering, Xiangyue Huasang hurriedly bowed to Wu Chaosong, Liu Zongyu and Song Ying. They were all seniors despite looking the same age as her.

“Little girl, why are you being polite to us Where’s Qianqian Why isn’t she here” Song Ying asked with a smile.

“She’s in seclusion. She’s very diligent.” Xiangyue Huasang said as she walked to Liu Meng’er and stood beside the window by the balcony where one could clearly see the venue below.

Xiangyue Huasang frowned, “I forgot about this person when I was mesmerized by their alchemy techniques earlier.”

“Xiangyue, you’re an alchemist. What do you think of this person” Wang Weiquan asked.

After a moment’s silence, Xiangyue Huasang said softly, “He looks like my junior master!”r was sky-high, as someone dared to curse them openly. This had never happened before.The young men were also shocked and horrified, as those old people were high up. Now they were offended by others!...
