Evil Holy Soul - C225

“Oh? Ruffian brat, your bragging skills are getting better and better! Even though your cultivation is higher than mine now. However, he still had to make a rough draft. Alchemists didn’t level up just because they wanted to. It’s better if you take it easy! ” Listening to Han Ming’s confidence, Ouyang Bo felt that Han Ming’s blind confidence came from the increase in his cultivation.

“Haha, Little Ouyang, how about this? How about we make a bet? ” Han Ming smiled and said half-jokingly.

“Great!” Your true alchemy skills, until now, I really don’t know. I wanted to have a true fight with you, kid! I wonder how you want to bet? ” Ouyang Bo said with great interest.

“Hehe, actually this bet is very simple. It is between the two of us. Let’s see who can win the Alchemist Competition!” If you win, I’ll give your Ouyang Family a great gift! If I win by a fluke, you need to do me a favor! What do you think? ” With this thought in mind, Han Ming said with a smile.

“Oh? Big gift? Or was it to give it to my Ouyang Family? Kid, you really know how to brag! Good! This bro will bet with you! “If I lose, no matter what happens, as long as you say the word, I, Ouyang Bo, will definitely do it!” Ouyang Bo laughed loudly as he listened to Han Ming’s words.

“Good!” It was a deal! “Come, cheers!” Han Ming raised the wine jug in his hand and downed it in one gulp.

In fact, this bet between Han Ming and Ouyang Bo was entirely a whim. Earlier, he hadn’t considered this matter at all. Just now, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He had found a safe way to participate in the Alchemist Competition. After all, this was a gathering of the top alchemists in the entire Purple Clouds Continent. At that time, there would definitely be a large number of alchemists attending. Putting everything else aside, just those level five alchemists would probably make up more than half of them. After all, the reputation of the Ouyang Family was unrivalled in the world of alchemy. Entering the Ouyang Family was equivalent to gaining the space to continue improving. This was a great temptation for every alchemist!

As for Han Ming, although he was very confident, he wasn’t sure if he would win. After all, he did not have much time to truly refine medicinal pills. Most of the time, he would refine some because of his own needs. Compared to those who were born from specialization in alchemy, there was still a small gap. However, the main purpose of his visit was to discuss the matter of the Han Clan allying with the Ouyang Clan. As for the bet he had with Ouyang Bo, it was to see the Ouyang Family’s Patriarch and elders directly and to make a plan that would be perfect.

As for the big gift, it was not nonsense, even though Han Ming did not know what it was. However, he had heard from Han Yu that his father had indeed asked her to give him a heaven-defying gift when he paid a visit to the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. At least, that’s what I said.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. In these three days, Han Ming only had the morning of the first day to ask Ouyang Bo about the preliminaries. The rest of the time was spent in the refining space. For others, three days was equivalent to nine days. During these nine days, Han Ming constantly practiced his alchemy skills. From the initial refinement of a tier 1 medicinal pill to the refinement of a tier 5 medicinal pill that he could refine, Han Ming refined the medicinal pill again and again, trying out all kinds of pill recipes. He would try his best to familiarize himself with more medicinal herbs and grasp the attributes of more medicinal herbs.

After all, according to his understanding, the final deciding factor in the Alchemist Competition was the grade of the medicinal pill, the degree of refinement, and the length of time needed to refine the medicinal pill. In other words, the conditions for him to win were: the person with the shortest refining time, the highest crafting grade, and the best crafting fire.

In other words, if he wanted to obtain a placing in this competition, he would have to continuously increase his alchemy speed and also temper his alchemy flames. In addition, he would also have to continuously improve the quality of the medicinal pills he could refine during this process. This was indeed a great challenge for Han Ming. Previously, he was only refining pills when necessary, and most of them were for his own consumption. As for the specific grades of these pills, they were basically randomly chosen and had no requirements.

But this time, he wanted to compete with the other party. The grade of the pill would directly determine his result. At the same time, it also determined whether he would be able to become famous in the future on the Violet Dust Continent. He would be able to attract heroes from all over to help him fight against the enemies hidden in the darkness. This time’s competition was very critical!

“Kid, do you really want to participate in the Alchemist Competition?” In his Sea of Consciousness, the Sky Fire’s lazy voice came out again.

Hearing the voice of the heavenly fire, Han Ming firmly said, “Of course! I must attend this competition! As long as I am able to achieve good results, I would be able to make a name for myself. Furthermore, I have all kinds of pill formulas. As long as I can make a name for myself in the world of alchemy, then I will be able to attract more and more help. As my alchemy skills continue to improve, I think that there will be more powerhouses surrounding me. At that time, if the Holy Union attacks us, we can also have a helper! After all, you and I, these two souls, are still not enough to deal with them! ”

“Hehe, it’s rare for you to have this kind of heart. Alright, this old man will support you from behind! Alchemy, I don’t really understand. Although I know some, it’s just a third-rate alchemy. It’s up to you to work hard. I hope that one day, you will become what you said you would be. When that day comes, this old man will have his own body and have recovered his former strength. He might not necessarily be afraid of his Holy Union! ” Once he said this, the ‘Sky Fire’ once again entered his training space and continued its retreat.

For Skyfire, the faster Han Ming’s cultivation rose, the happier he would be. However, at the same time, he felt the increasing pressure and danger. After all, if the paper couldn’t contain the fire, sooner or later, Han Ming’s information about being the Holy Spirit would be discovered by the Holy Union. At that time, the two of them would have to face the entire Sacred Alliance, and perhaps even more … Every time he thought of these things, a fire of anger would burn in his heart. Under the urging of his fury, the Heaven Flame continuously urged him to recover his strength as soon as possible. He had to obtain his body before it was discovered.

Fortunately, Han Ming didn’t need to rely on him to defeat the enemy most of the time. His aura was something the Holy Union knew, but they did not know of Han Ming’s aura. As long as he could conceal himself even better, and avoid appearing before Han Ming grows, then they would have more time.

Slowly withdrawing from the alchemy space, Han Ming tidied up his clothes and walked towards the ten thousand feet large plaza of the Alchemist Association with ease. This was because the competition venue for today’s first selection was here.

When they arrived at the site of the first selection, it was already packed full of people. The previously huge square had been surrounded to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through. This caused Han Ming to sigh at the Ouyang Family’s powerful rallying power.

“Yo!” Little friend Han Ming, you really dare to come! Hehe, today’s first round is not much of a contest. There is not much of a challenge for us. However, you must be careful not to lose out in the first round. That way, it will be too easy for us to win! ” The two people who spoke were Tang Bozhong and Zhang Jihu, the two people who had made the bet with Han Ming three days ago.

Looking at Tang Bozhong who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, Han Ming said with a slight smile, “Hehe, then I hope we’ll meet in the second round of the examination. “At that time, let me witness your powerful techniques!” After saying that, Han Ming followed the arrangements for the preliminaries and walked toward his own seat.

In this preliminary competition, there were a total of 1980 participants, almost the highest number in history. However, amongst them, the number of level one or two alchemists was the greatest, almost exceeding a thousand. As for the third rank alchemists, they weren’t small either. There were a total of over 500 people. There were more than five hundred Grade Four Alchemists on this continent, and this time, more than half of them were here. As for the rest, they were left with the level five alchemist.

As tier 6 alchemists were extremely rare, there were basically only a few of them in the entire continent. Therefore, they would not participate in this kind of competition. Moreover, all the rank 6 alchemists were already Grandmasters. There was no need for them to participate in a competition like this.

With the order given, the first round of preliminaries began. The preliminaries were to refine the best pellet out of his current grade. It would take him the shortest amount of time and the highest quality pellet would pass the second round. The rest would be considered as having failed. Therefore, in this selection, all the alchemists at level one or two had basically been eliminated. Only a few tier two alchemists who were about to advance to become a tier three alchemist were able to refine the high quality medicinal pills that they were currently most proficient in. Hence, they stayed behind.

And at this moment, Han Ming’s alchemist rank, according to the association’s statistics, was a level three alchemist. However, since the actual pill he was able to refine was already a high Grade Five Spirit Dan, Han Ming was able to successfully refine a high Grade Three Spirit Dan not long after the competition began. Moreover, its quality could be said to be perfect, without any flaws to be picky about. Thus, without any suspense, Han Ming successfully entered the second round.

As for Tang Bozhong and Zhang Jihu, they weren’t easy to deal with. After an intense battle, the two of them smoothly entered the semifinals stage. As for Ouyang Bo’s tier five alchemist group, not a single alchemist had been eliminated. After all, after becoming a tier 5 alchemist, the preliminaries and semifinals were just a formality. What they really cared about was the finals.

Hearing that Han Ming had successfully advanced to the second round of the examination, Ouyang Bo was not surprised at all. After all, he understood Han Ming very well. Entering the second round was not difficult at all. On the other hand, Tang Bozhong and Zhang Jihu were a bit surprised that Han Ming had entered the semifinals. A moment later, the two of them smiled as they accepted this result. After all, this boy dared to make such a huge bet with him, so he must have a certain level of strength. If they really didn’t enter the semifinals, they could only feel that this child’s brain was flooded with water!
