561 What was Owner Bu doing? (1/2)

White Demon Jiang Ling...

This was a name most of the audience were strangely familiar with; that was because this last name made its last appearance three years earlier.

Back then, White Demon Jiang Ling's level of refinement was already mindblowing, making her one of the top contestants of the Magical Hand Conference at the time. Unfortunately for her, though, that Magical Hand Conference had too many contestants with demonic talents, so the mighty Jiang Ling could only place fourth.

At that time, Mu Bai had yet to reveal his outstanding talent and was not coined the ”Pill King”. In the present, Mu Bai had a very deep impression of White Demon Jiang Ling. This was because he and White Demon Jiang Ling had crossed paths once before, in a match, which he… lost completely.

That was a match he would never forget. This humiliation was etched deep within his memories, and he could completely recall it at any time, despite how much he wanted to forget it. Unfortunately, after White Demon Jiang Ling lost to Mu Bai's senior, she vanished into thin air and didn't appear for three years.

And today, she had finally appeared to compete in the semi-final of the Magical Hand Conference.

There was an emotional expression on Mu Bai's handsome face.

Jiang Ling was still as wild as before. As Mu Bai watched White Demon Jiang Ling run her hands through her hair, the glint of fighting intent in his eyes glowed brighter.

Bu Fang was unconcerned, however, for he did not know who this arrogant lady was. The number of people who acted arrogantly in front of him was just too many, and this lady was just another one of them.

As soon as the woman spoke, the arena became noisy as the crowd conversed amongst themselves, in excitement. They could not wait for the match to begin.

The battleship hovering in the sky emitted a loud sound, and the five alchemy grandmasters emerged from within it.

The head judge gracefully ascended the stage and walked over to the middle of it. He wore a splendid attire today because it was the day of the final match—the most important match of the tournament. Everyone had already turned serious, focusing all their attention on the stage.

The three contestants took their places beside their respective platforms, and the head judge began to read out the rules of the match, with a serious demeanor.

The rules were not many, and the head judge did not take long to read them. Then, Grandmaster Xuan Ming gave a speech in which he encouraged the contestants, and after that, the final match officially kicked off.

As soon as the head judge signaled the start of the match, the atmosphere in the arena changed. The atmosphere was fierce, but the contestants were solemn.

Mu Bai's palm came to rest atop the heavy nine stars alchemy furnace, causing an audible hum to spread across the square. That heavy alchemy furnace gradually began to float, and dense true energy began to revolve around it.

Hu...

Mu Bai exhaled, and then he took control of the true energy orbiting the furnace and used it to smash the furnace repeatedly.

After each strike, the alchemy furnace would emit undulations, and in a short while, the pitch-black alchemy furnace had nine lines of light on it. The nine stars furnace was finally ready to display its full power.

Hong!

Mu Bai briefly glanced at White Demon Jiang Ling before raising his palm, and green flames began to surge out from within his body. Immediately after the flames appeared, the temperature atop the stage soared greatly.

The eyes of the members of the audience lit up at this.

”It's a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame! Lord Mu Bai's Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame!”

”Green Nightmare Devil Flames! It's the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame, Green Nightmare Devil Flames!”

”Too cool! This Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame is cool for sure!”

…

As a talented alchemist from Heavenly Pill City, how could Mu Bai not possess a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame? It was very important for alchemists, after all.

The Heavenly Pill City had already invested so much resources into Mu Bai, so how could they ever neglect to prepare a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame for him?

When the Obsidian Flame appeared, a thousand flames creeped. The heat emanating from the green flames was unnaturally intense.

Bu Fang, on the other hand, waved his hand, and the Black Turtle Constellation Wok landed on his golden platform with a resounding smash.

The Golden Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun in his arm, making the onlookers anticipate his superb knife skills.

Seeing this, the audience was not surprised. They had long since gotten used to it, so it was nothing out of the ordinary for them.

However, when Bu Fang spat out a ball of golden flames, the audience raised an uproar.

Another Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame!

Weng…

When the Ten Thousand Bestial Flames made its appearance, its unique Obsidian Flame energy began to surge. However, Mu Bai's Green Nightmare Devil Flame did not allow itself to be outdone, so it glowed strongly.

It was as though the stage had been separated into heaven and earth; one for the Ten Thousand Bestial Flames, whereas the other belonged to the Green Nightmare Devil Flame.

This made Mu Bai glance at Bu Fang. The two Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flames confronted each other, and the audience felt overwhelmed.

Suddenly, Bu Fang and Mu Bai froze in their tracks and turned their heads.

From behind them, a unique energy wave surged outward; it was like the awakening of a beast that had been lying dormant for a long time. The White Demon Jiang Ling laughed loudly and raised her palms. A wave of dark-green flames burned fiercely. It was quiet, but the air around it was distorted.

Pi li pa la.

The two Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flames already burning on the stage were forcefully ripped out, and a dark-green brilliance joined both flames, all three jostling for dominance.

”Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame… I have it, too!” White Demon Jiang Ling's eyes glowed fiercely.

When her gaze shifted to Bu Fang, the corners of her lips curled upward. Suddenly, her dark-green flames began to burn even more fiercely, and its energy surged, suppressing the Ten Thousand Bestial Flame and the Green Nightmare Devil Flame.

Seeing this, the audience sucked in breaths of cold air. Now, this was interesting. Another contestant also possessed a Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame. This match had now become very exciting.

Neither of the contestants had begun refinement, yet the atmosphere atop the stage had already become really tense. The energies of the three Heaven and Earth Obsidians Flames, which were battling on the stage, surged, and the hearts of everyone watching shuddered.

Mu Bai breathed deeply before taking the lead and placing his Green Nightmare Devil Flame into the alchemy furnace.

Immediately, the alchemy furnace lost its weight and color and began to glow blindingly bright.

Weng weng weng…
