Chapter 115: Explosive Medicine

That night in Northface City, Su Chen’s final problem was burned away.

Lin Yemao had died.

Died to a criminal organization.

Rumor was that Lin Yemao had colluded with some criminal organization. He had taken some of their benefits and was unwilling to give them up, which caused him to receive such a retaliation.

The truth of the situation was not very important. More importantly, the Lin Clan had expended all their manpower yet were unable to find the black-clothed individuals who had carried out the raid.

This matter eventually became an inconclusive, unsolved case. In the beginning, there was quite a commotion surrounding it, but interest began to die down and in the end it had merely become a topic for conversation on the streets.

It was already the peak of midsummer. The greatly-anticipated Hidden Dragon Battle was also drawing near.

The institute envoys from Long Coiling City had already entered Northface City. Next, they began to mobilize forces to lay down a giant formation and lock down the entire Red Peak Range. Outsiders were not allowed to enter or leave. There were even higher-ups who used their soul to scan the sealed mountain range to prevent any existences outside of the specifications from affecting the Hidden Dragon Battle.

Of course, creating such a large formation was not just for the selection of Northface City’s four most talented individuals.

This place was the location for the Hidden Dragon Institute’s entrance exam for the entire Three-Mountain Region.

The Hidden Dragon Battle was split into two portions. One was competition within the same city, and victors would obtain an invitation to enroll in the Hidden Dragon Institute. Secondly, the victors would then participate in another competition to determine their ranking in the institute.

Because of this, there were many subregions in the Red Peak Range, and the Spirit Burying Terrace was not located in the Northface City subregion, but rather in the Flowing Cloud City region.

This implied that if Su Chen wanted to enter the Spirit Burying Terrace, he would need to cross into a different subregion. That was very bad for his attempts to obtain a spot in his own region.

According to the agreement that Su Chen had made with the Immortal Temple, he needed to take out everything inside of the Spirit Burying Terrace when he entered before returning to participate in his own region’s battle to ensure that he would put in the necessary effort.

In reality, with this prerequisite in front of him, the difficulty of Su Chen obtaining a spot had greatly increased. The Immortal Temple had already prepared comforting words for Su Chen after he failed in the Hidden Dragon Battle. Only Su Chen himself was unwilling to give in.

Thus, in the days before the Hidden Dragon Battle, Su Chen was also making his last preparations.

However, while others were furiously cultivating their Origin Skills, Su Chen was practicing in front of a research bench.

After killing Master Feng, Su Chen had obtained his workbench and experimental recordings. After reading them, he received great enlightenment, and began to open up many different avenues of thought when performing experiments.

Thus, Su Chen decided to continue his own research, but this time he was not researching the Soaring Serpent Bloodline but rather another item.

Within the stone room in the Dustsift Courtyard.

Su Chen carefully held a beaker in his hand.

The beaker had been split by a thin partition into two. A red and blue liquid were stored separately in it.

Su Chen carefully pulled out the partition and sealed the beaker’s opening. The two liquids began to mix and bubble.

The beaker began to shake. As the bubbles increased, it shook more and more violently until it finally exploded with a “BANG!”.

The shards from the explosions flew everywhere, landing on Su Chen. However, Su Chen had made preparations beforehand, and a Meg’s Guardian easily blocked these flying fragments.

“I’ve finally succeeded!” As he gazed at the shards on the ground, Su Chen laughed with satisfaction.
