I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 209 - 207: Xi Yuan Tournament (Part 33)

Live broadcast scene.

The Tianyi Team and the Defiant Team are the two most watched teams in this match, and now that the two teams are working together to deal with the Red Fierce Ants, the viewership has already broken historical records.

The host magnified the General Fierce Ant on the ground, tangled into a mass by the Thousand Threads Pill, and asked Zou Huali:

"Master Zou, how exactly is this sticky Thousand Threads Pill made?"

A fire, a cauldron, why can they produce so many kinds of preparations? While modern medicine-making techniques with dozens of different tools can only make liquid medicine? Although Zhou Jun does not understand Alchemy, he can tell that this is not scientific!

Zou Huali shook his head: "I don’t know either. I think this should be one of the exquisite aspects of Ancient Alchemy compared to modern Alchemy."

After this match, Zou Huali really needs to have a good talk with Elder Shentu.

The two teams were able to escape thanks to their joint cooperation. But if you only have ideas without means to realize them, no matter how observant you are, you can’t break free from the entanglement of the Red Fierce Ants. Ultimately, Li Xing is the biggest hero of this incident.

Host: "Ice Wings is an advanced Martial Art, part of the fourth-year curriculum of the reserve school. Unexpectedly, Ye Qingting, only in the second year, has already been able to use it. Although the flight is not very stable, it’s clear that he has a pretty good grasp of the essentials of Ice Wings."

Lin Zhian nodded: "Indeed. Similarly, the Golden Winged Roc flight skill is slightly more difficult, but for An Qing, who is already in the fifth year, she should be able to use it proficiently. However... ha. I think in future matches, contestant An Qing should practice more. The way of Martial Arts, if not used, will decline. Always relying on Chu Yunyi to carry them, her own advanced Martial Art skills have become rusty."

Lin Zhian was insinuating that the warriors of the Golden Elemental Spirit have their own flight skills, but An Qing is overly reliant on Chu Yunyi’s Wind Rolling Dust Formation, causing her mandatory skill, the Golden Winged Roc, to become rusty, which is really inappropriate.

In the stands, Yuan Kai’s face grew long. He was dissatisfied with Lin Zhian criticizing the students of the Tianyi Academy in public, yet he couldn’t deny that what was said was true. The members of the Tianyi Team are indeed too reliant on Chu Yunyi.

It is really strange; why did he not notice it before?

With the four members of the Tianyi Team about to graduate, habits have already formed. As the principal, it is too late to supervise and educate them now. Yuan Kai can only pray that no similar problems will arise in subsequent matches.

The power of public opinion is enormous. Even though the official website of the Tianyi Academy has skilled administrators, they can’t withstand the deluge of angry comments from passionate fans. There are too many derogatory words to delete, simply too many to delete completely.

The effect of the Thousand Threads Pill is excellent. As more General Fierce Ants fall prey, everyone feels less aerial resistance.

After the last few General Fierce Ants were wrapped into bundles by the Thousand Threads, all the Big Red Fierce Ants on the ground seemed to have their pause button pressed by an invisible hand. Their antennae were still twitching rapidly, but they couldn’t receive any information.

The world of the Big Red Fierce Ants suddenly quieted; they didn’t know what to do.

The Three Thousand Lotus devoured the last Flying Fierce Ant, yet there was still no sign of transformation among the Big Red Fierce Ants on the ground.

At this point, the Red Fierce Ant Army lost all fighting capability, posing no further threat to the Elemental Spirits.

The crisis of the Red Fierce Ant is lifted, and it’s time for the alliance to dissolve. It depends on who seizes the opportunity to make a move first.

Jiang Yuesheng glanced at An Qing not far away. As soon as their eyes met, they quickly averted them. With years of tacit understanding, they knew what the other was thinking.

Jiang Yuesheng spread his palm facing Ye Qingting, who was flying to his left-front, while An Qing slowly approached Qi Ming. Elemental Power from both gathered into their palms, emitting a dim light.

"Attack—!" Jiang Yuesheng shouted violently, raising his right hand towards Ye Qingting, and at the same time, An Qing struck a palm towards Qi Ming.

"Boom—!"

"Splash—!"

The anticipated Elemental Attack did not occur. The explosion sound came from the pouch at the waists of Jiang Yuesheng, An Qing, and Lin Caier.

The pills that Li Xing promised and personally verified not to explode casually blew up without warning, instantly wrapping Jiang Yuesheng, An Qing, and Lin Caier in ultra-sticky spider silk, causing them to fall from the air.

The three were wrapped like mummies from the shoulders down, with their heads and faces also covered in a lot of sticky silk. Fortunately, the silk wasn’t thick around their mouth and nose, not affecting their breathing, but they still looked quite miserable.

Lin Caier’s long hair was stuck in a mess, black hair and white sticky silk randomly plastered on her face, making her unrecognizable.

Considering the stickiness of the Thousand Threads Pill, Lin Caier predicted her hair couldn’t be saved, and couldn’t help but scream, but her mouth was blocked, only able to let out low whimpering sounds.

Jiang Yuesheng, both angry and frustrated, circulated his Elemental Power, releasing Elemental Fire from both hands simultaneously.

He knew he couldn’t break free from the sticky silk with strength, so he placed his hope on the Elemental Fire. Unfortunately, these sticky silk strands melted very slowly under the scorching of Elemental Fire. Instead, his battle armor burned quickly, with several large holes appearing.

Li Xing’s clear voice came from above: "I added Yellow Spring Soil to the Thousand Threads Pill, weakening Elemental Attacks. If you don’t want to be reported for borderline content in the live broadcast, better behave."

Jiang Yuesheng cursed: "Li Xing! You actually backstabbed the alliance, despicable, shameless!"

Li Xing was speechless: "You guys tried to sneak attack first, and then got caught in my trap. It’s like the pot calling the kettle black, isn’t it?"

An Qing also shouted with a stiff neck: "Let me go, and let’s have a real fight!"

"Tch, it’s not like we haven’t fought before; who are you to challenge me when you’re a defeated opponent? Just lie there obediently."

"You—!"

Li Xing’s hand gestures changed, and Wind Rolling Dust slowly lifted her to the same height as Chu Yunyi.

Looking at this only opponent who didn’t fall for the trap, Li Xing chuckled.

"Brother Chu, are you surprised?"

With his teammates controlled and the Free Breeze Fan entangled by sticky silk, Chu Yunyi should be angry, but his eyes glimmered with excitement.

Compared to previous years, this annual military academy competition truly ignited his fighting spirit. It had been a while since he encountered an opponent as interesting as Li Xing.

Hearing Li Xing’s tease, Chu Yunyi laughed: "With your personality, it would be a surprise if you didn’t pull a trick on us."

Li Xing was displeased: "Listen to you, it’s like I’m not trustworthy."

Chu Yunyi laughed: "Apologies, it was rude of me."

From the beginning, Chu Yunyi suspected that Li Xing would definitely leave some backup plan, and she most likely tampered with the medicine. Yet, he never let his guard down, and he even checked the Elixir carefully, truly not knowing how Li Xing detonated them.

However, in this current situation, Chu Yunyi felt his long-held tension finally ease, even feeling a sense of "just as expected" relaxation. Li Xing’s fox tail finally showed itself; he no longer had to guard against her as a thief.

Chu Yunyi found Li Xing to be a rare opponent, and Li Xing felt the same.

But speaking of it, during the Tianyi competition, she had been chased by Chu Yunyi for over ten kilometers, which was quite embarrassing. So in this match, she was determined to regain her dignity.
