Chapter 688: 688

Following the Tower Ancestor’s shout, white-robed experts came out and distributed the medicinal ingredients .

It was still the old rules . Each person was given three sets of ingredients . In other words, if you failed three times, you would immediately be eliminated .

Various Pill Flames lit up . This time, the pill formula was extremely detailed . Even the order with which you should merge the powders had been fully explained . There was no need to grope about on your own .

The main thing this pill tested was everyone’s Spiritual Strength and their flame energy . Previously, they had only refined pills that could be finished quickly . To compare, previously they had been cooking stir fry, but now they were simmering stew . They were competing in terms of endurance .

Long Chen was a bit lost in thought . In truth, this Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill was nothing to him . It couldn’t even compare to the Enlightenment Palace Pill .

If he summoned the Earth Flame, Long Chen could refine it with his feet and still beat Huo Wufang .

But the main thing was that Long Chen couldn’t reveal the Earth Flame . If he did, then his status would be completely exposed .

In all the Eastern Wasteland, the only one of his age who controlled an Earth Flame was Long Chen . It would be too obvious .

But if he didn’t use the Earth Flame, he wouldn’t be able to defeat the first ranking beast flame, the Earth Dragon Golden Blaze . Seeing Huo Wufang’s disdainful expression, Long Chen had an urge to take off his shoe and slap him with it .

This test was extremely favorable to Huo Wufang . His powerful Pill Flame gave him an immense advantage here, especially when it came to purifying the ingredients . He was already far ahead of everyone else .

In the distance, Huo Changsheng was looking at Huo Wufang confidently . This test had practically been made for Huo Wufang to win . Although his Spiritual Strength might be weaker than Long Chen's, so what? As long as you had enough to refine the pill, what was the point of having leftover Spiritual Strength?

On the other hand, Chai Gaoyang and Fang Mingyuan’s expressions were a bit uneasy, as this wasn’t favorable to Long Chen . His strongest point was useless here .

Long Chen sighed . “This is forcing me to show off . In truth, I’m a very low-key person . Why must everyone force me?”

A flame burst into existence over Long Chen’s palm . As soon as that flame appeared, startled cries rang out from the crowd .

“What… what flame is that?!”

“There’s red, white, and also green? One, two, three… there’s actually eighteen colors . What’s going on?”

People were shocked to see a multi-colored flame in Long Chen’s hand . Its coloring was extremely complicated .

“It seems to be a legendary merged flame . He merged various beast flames together to release an unprecedented strength!”

“Are you joking? Each person can only use one beast flame . If they tried to use two, the stronger flame would devour the weaker ones . How could you possibly use this many at once?” retorted someone .

“Then tell me, what is that flame?!” Having been criticized, that person was a bit angry . He pointed at Long Chen’s flame .

The criticizer was immediately at a loss for words . A merged flame was like trying to gather a wolf, insect, tiger, leopard, chicken, duck, cat, and dog together . They would definitely fight and kill each other, and couldn’t possibly merge . But other than a merged flame, there was no other way to explain the flame in Long Chen’s hand .

The Tower Ancestor smiled and nodded . “This little one is really interesting . He’s actually able to merge flames . ”

On the other hand, the tower administrator shook his head . “Merging flames is extremely difficult . It exhausts too much Spiritual Strength . He won’t be able to keep up with it . ”

The Tower Ancestor said, “You’re wrong . This little fellow isn’t using any energy to control these flames . With your Spiritual Strength, perhaps you can’t sense it . In truth, there is a terrifying existence in this little fellow’s body that is suppressing those flames . That’s why they don’t dare make a fuss . ”

The tower administrator was startled . Even the first rank Earth Dragon Golden Blaze was unable to suppress that many beast flames . Could it be…?

“That’s why I said the children these days really are interesting . My trip to the Eastern Wasteland wasn’t wasted . Perhaps I’ll be able to bring back a true treasure for those old monsters,” laughed the Tower Ancestor .

The tower administrator’s heart jumped . He naturally knew who those old monsters he mentioned were . Those were figures whose very names could shake the continent . Thinking of that, he sighed . Long San’s future accomplishments would perhaps rise to the point that he could only look up to them .

But then thinking of Long San’s character, he bitterly smiled . If he went to Pill Valley, then the calm they had enjoyed for countless years would be immediately broken!

The merged flame Long Chen had summoned shocked everyone . Despite being so far away, they could still sense a terrifying heat from that flame .

“The power of his merged flame seems to be on the same level as Huo Wufang’s Earth Dragon Golden Blaze!” exclaimed people . Although there was no way to make a detailed comparison, the powerful fluctuations from both flames were similar .
