Chapter 690: 690

“Did you not take your medicine, or did you take too much? Or do you just like to spout nonsense? I really want to know just where your confidence comes from,” said Long Chen indifferently .

His divine sense had been constantly paying attention to Huo Wufang . Although his Pill Flame blocked Long Chen’s divine sense so that he couldn’t see the situation inside the furnace, Long Chen could tell from the fluctuations that at best, the final pill would only have three rings . That would be the absolute limit .

Long Chen turned his nose up in disdain toward a three-ring pill . Although he hadn’t reached the final step, he was confident his pill would have at least five rings, and perhaps even six .

So Huo Wufang’s crazy laughter made him extremely curious .

“Long Chen, I admit that my Spiritual Strength is weaker than yours . In terms of alchemy skill, you also might be a level higher than me . Even in terms of Pill Flame, you can rely on your Spiritual Strength to just barely stand on the same level as me .

“In that kind of situation, it really might be difficult for us to say who would win . But, you’re looking down on me too much . I will show you all a divine alchemy art that you’ve never seen before! Nine Revolution Blood Soul Upgrade Art!”

Following Huo Wufang’s shout, people were startled to see his eyes turn scarlet . His forehead split open, and blood slowly trickled out .

That line of blood seemed to possess its own life . It crawled down according to a set pattern, creating a strange mark .

“What?! He’s actually willing to do this?!”

Long Chen was startled . He hadn’t expected Huo Wufang to use this move . This Nine Revolution Blood Soul Upgrade Art was something that came at a steep price . It was something that exhausted a person’s lifespan and essence blood in order to forcibly increase the quality of a pill .

This was something not transmitted in the outside world . The main reason was that this technique was not advocated by alchemists . Using this technique posed a great deal of harm to a person’s soul, and that damage was permanent . There was no way to heal it .

“How vicious!” Fang Mingyuan and Chai Gaoyang’s hearts pounded . Looking at Huo Changsheng, they sighed emotionally .

This kind of secret art was something they didn’t know how to use, but it was something they had heard of . They hadn’t expected the Huo family to be so vicious . This was basically forfeiting Huo Wufang’s life .

“Huo Wufang, once you use the Nine Revolution Blood Soul Upgrade Art, you’ll also be crippled . Your Spiritual Strength will never advance again, and you’ll never be able to reach the Sea Expansion realm,” said Long Chen .

“Hahaha, Long San, you’re just a mountain b.u.mpkin! I’ll not only take the first place, but I also won’t take any damage!” sneered Huo Wufang .

As the blood mark on his forehead brightened, people could sense a strange energy surging within his furnace . His pill furnace was trembling incessantly .

Long Chen’s expression finally changed because he sensed a pill in Huo Wufang’s furnace rapidly absorbing energy .

He had truly underestimated Huo Wufang . He had never expected him to have this move, and he also sensed that when he used the Blood Soul Upgrade Art, the Spiritual Strength he was using was not his own . It was an extremely odd feeling . Could it be…?

BOOM!

The golden flames scattered, revealing Huo Wufang’s arrogant smile . He opened the furnace, displaying a medicinal pill s.h.i.+ning with light . Even in the daylight, it was still so dazzling .

“Heavens, a nine-ring pill!” Startled cries rang out . It was actually the peak of high grade pills .

But Long Chen wasn’t looking at the pill . Instead, he was looking at Huo Wufang . He suddenly said, “It’s no wonder you dare to use this move . The blood was yours, but the soul energy was someone else’s . How vicious!”

Long Chen’s words startled everyone . If his words were true, then wouldn’t that mean Huo Wufang’s body contained two souls, and one of them had been the sacrifice?

“Long San, it doesn’t matter what you say . I didn’t break any rules . Now you should believe that the first place is mine, right? Hahahaha!” laughed Huo Wufang .

Chai Liehuo and Fang Chang couldn’t help but sigh . They already had no further hopes for Long Chen to win . Originally, it would have been difficult to say which one of them would win . But now, the ending was set in stone .

“Tower Ancestor, what exactly are we using to determine the rankings?” asked Long Chen .

“The medicinal pill’s effect,” answered the Tower Ancestor .

Long Chen suddenly smiled . “Hehe, many thanks, Tower Ancestor . Then I still have a chance . ”

“A chance? Keep dreaming . You’ve already begun to condense the pill, and its effect is essentially set . What can you possibly bring out to defeat me?” sneered Huo Wufang .

He didn’t believe Long Chen would use the same move as him . Even if he knew how to use it, he wouldn’t dare to mutilate himself like that . If he did, then even if he took first place, Pill Valley wouldn’t take in someone who would never advance again .

Suddenly, cracking sounds came from Long Chen’s furnace . Those sounds were very light, but in the silent arena, everyone heard it clearly .

“What?! He destroyed the pills that had just been about to form?”

Everyone was shocked . What was Long San doing? Had he completely given up and no longer even wanted second place?”

The tower administrator’s pupils shrunk . “Is he actually…?”

The Tower Ancestor nodded in praise . “It really is nice to be young . You dare to do anything you want, without being so overcautious about the consequences . ”

BOOM!
