Immortal God of War-Chapter 102: Luo Xiong’s Fury_1

As soon as Qin Feiyang entered the alchemy room, Cheng Yi also entered Alchemy Room Number One. The stone door was left open.

Lin Chen stood between the two alchemy rooms, looking at Qin Feiyang and smirking to himself. I’d like to see what grade of elixir you can concoct.

Luo Xiong and his two companions, however, sat on chairs, eyes closed, recuperating from their injuries. The outcome was already decided; there was no need to watch.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how about we place a bet?"

"Ten to one odds on Jian Haotian!"

"Two to one odds on Cheng Yi!"

Fatty suddenly shouted, his face full of a sly grin.

"Not in the mood!"

"Get lost!"

The surrounding disciples glared angrily.

It wasn’t that Fatty was unpopular. It was because they all desperately wanted to enter the Elixir King Palace. But it was clear there were no reserved spots for them among the pre-selected candidates. For the remaining two spots, more than a hundred disciples were scrambling. The odds were simply too slim; no one had any confidence. Thus, they couldn’t help but feel agitated.

In the two alchemy rooms, the alchemy process had already begun. Both alchemists moved with great skill; ’smooth as flowing water’ would not be an overstatement to describe their actions.

"This is incredible!"

"Jian Haotian has only been in the Elixir Palace for just over two months, and he can already keep up with Senior Brother Cheng Yi?" a few disciples whispered.

Lin Chen paused, stunned, and asked in surprise, "What did you say? He’s only been here for two months?"

"Yes!" the disciples nodded.

Then, another disciple suddenly interjected, "No, that’s not quite right. He was away for this entire month, so strictly speaking, he has only practiced alchemy for a total of one month."

His movements are this proficient after only a month? Lin Chen was dumbstruck. Could this man really be an alchemy genius? No! Although he could match the speed, the quality of the elixir he refined would definitely not be up to par.

He wore an affable smile, but his heart was icy cold.

However, what none of them knew was that Qin Feiyang had only truly spent a few days refining elixirs; the rest of his time had been dedicated to copying the Counter Curse Manual.

A hundred breaths passed.

With a wave of Cheng Yi’s hand, a red elixir flew out of the Pill Furnace. He caught it, didn’t even glance at it, and walked straight out of the alchemy room. He approached Lin Chen and presented the elixir with a confident expression.

Lin Chen took the elixir, glanced at it briefly, and nodded. "Not bad. This Healing Elixir can definitely be considered an Upper Grade Elixir."

Receiving Lin Chen’s affirmation, Cheng Yi’s confidence swelled. He laughed and said, "Sir, Jian Haotian will probably still be a while. You are a man of great importance; perhaps you should go and sit outside and wait."

"I admit, I lost."

But at that very moment, a resigned voice sounded.

"Haha..." Cheng Yi immediately burst out laughing. He turned to see Qin Feiyang walking out of the alchemy room.

Arms crossed, Cheng Yi looked at Qin Feiyang sarcastically and said, "Even if you admit defeat now, you still have to present the elixir you concocted. Let everyone see just how pitiful it is."

"Huh?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback. Is this man an idiot?

"Hehe," he chuckled lightly. "I think you misunderstood my meaning. I was actually saying that your bootlicking skills are truly first-class. In that, I admit defeat."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi’s expression stiffened, and his face instantly darkened.

"This is the elixir I concocted." Qin Feiyang casually tossed a Healing Elixir toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen subtly raised an eyebrow, a flicker of annoyance unseen by others. Clearly, accustomed as he was to flattery, Qin Feiyang’s current attitude displeased him greatly.

But the smile on his face remained. He caught the elixir, gave it a cursory glance, and announced with a laugh, "This Healing Elixir is, at best, a Lower Grade Elixir, far inferior to the Upper Grade Healing Elixir Cheng Yi concocted. Therefore, I now declare that the reserved spot belongs to Cheng Yi."

"Phew!" Cheng Yi exhaled a long breath of relief and cupped his fists. "I, Disciple Cheng Yi, pledge my life to the Elixir King Palace and vow to defend the dignity of the Elixir King Palace unto death!"

"Mm," Lin Chen nodded.

Cheng Yi turned to Qin Feiyang and sneered, "Do you remember the bet we made earlier?"

"I remember," Qin Feiyang nodded.

A cold glint flashed in Cheng Yi’s eyes. He said, "Then it’s time to honor your promise. Considering our shared discipleship, if you sever both your arms, I will let bygones be bygones."

Sever my own arms? Qin Feiyang’s eyes narrowed slightly. This man tried to kill him at every opportunity. Since that’s the case, let’s see whose methods are more ruthless!

He looked up at Lin Chen and said with a faint smile, "Take a closer look."

Lin Chen laughed. "A Lower Grade Elixir is a Lower Grade Elixir. The result will be the same no matter how many times you look. Is there really a need?"

Qin Feiyang had genuinely wanted to maintain a polite relationship with this man. After all, for the Elixir King Palace to send him to oversee the assessment meant his status there was undoubtedly high. Yet, this man showed him no regard whatsoever. He was arrogant and self-important. Does he really think he’s someone special?

A murderous intent surged in Qin Feiyang. He quickly drew Blue Snow and swung it like lightning toward Cheng Yi’s neck.

"AH!" A pained scream instantly echoed through the Elixir Fire Palace!

BOOM!

The next moment, Cheng Yi clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground. Blood spurted wildly from his throat!

The surrounding disciples were dumbfounded. Lu Hong, in particular, turned deathly pale! Even Fatty was dumbstruck! This scoundrel, he’s too daring! To actually kill Cheng Yi right here in the Elixir Fire Palace!

"Move aside!" Elder Mo’s furious roar cut through the stunned silence.

The crowd jolted and hurriedly retreated.

The three leading figures rushed over. Looking at Cheng Yi lying dead on the ground, their faces became as grim as gathering storm clouds. The usual smile on Lin Chen’s face had vanished completely, replaced only by fury!

"Jian Haotian!" he snapped his head up to glare at Qin Feiyang, a chilling aura radiating from him. The temperature in the area plummeted, as if winter had suddenly descended! Everyone’s pupils contracted, and they instinctively began to back away.

But Qin Feiyang was not the least bit intimidated. He met Lin Chen’s gaze and sneered, "If the Elixir King Palace is filled with mediocrities like you, then I see no point in going to such an Elixir King Palace!"

With that, he turned and strode out of the hall without a backward glance.

"How dare you!" Lin Chen was enraged and lunged, his hand shooting out to grab Qin Feiyang.

"You are the one who dares!"

At that instant, however, Luo Xiong let out a fierce roar and slapped him squarely across the face.

SLAP!

With a crisp sound, Lin Chen was sent flying, crashing into the wall behind him and spewing blood. A vivid red palm print now adorned his face, which was already beginning to swell. The elixir flew from his grasp and fell to the ground.

"You... you dare hit me?" Lin Chen was utterly dazed by the slap.

"Considering you are from the Elixir King Palace, this Hall Master has been showing you courtesy for the past two days.

"But what about you? You spend all day acting high and mighty, throwing your weight around. Who do you think you are?

"A beating is too light for you! This Hall Master will slaughter you right now!" Luo Xiong stepped forward, his killing intent blazing.

"Hall Master, don’t be impulsive!"

"Let’s talk this over, let’s talk this over."

Upon seeing this, Feng Cheng and Elder Mo’s expressions changed drastically. They rushed forward, grabbing Luo Xiong’s arms and anxiously trying to dissuade him.

"Let go of me, now!" Luo Xiong roared.

Although he usually appeared amiable, once enraged, not even Feng Cheng and Elder Mo dared to cross him. They hastily released his arms.

Luo Xiong strode to Lin Chen, looking down at him with cold eyes. As soon as Lin Chen met Luo Xiong’s gaze, an uncontrollable shiver ran down his spine!

"Did you think this Hall Master is blind? That I couldn’t see you’ve been deliberately targeting Jian Haotian?

"Just because this Hall Master said nothing doesn’t mean you can act as you please!

"Now, open your eyes wide and see clearly for this Hall Master what grade of elixir he has concocted!" Luo Xiong shouted.

Lin Chen’s body trembled. He quickly reached to check, only to realize the elixir was missing.

"It’s next to your foot!" Luo Xiong barked.

Lin Chen shivered again, hastily grabbed the elixir, and examined it closely.

"What! This is..." When he saw the Elixir Pattern on the elixir, he trembled as if struck by a bolt from the blue. It’s actually a Top Grade Elixir with an Elixir Pattern!

"Now do you see it clearly? If you do, then shout it out for this Hall Master! Quickly!" Luo Xiong bellowed, on the verge of exploding.

"This Healing Elixir is..." Lin Chen’s face was etched with disbelief; he found it impossible to accept this horrifying truth.

"Does this Hall Master need to repeat himself?" Luo Xiong growled, his eyes glinting coldly.

Lin Chen jolted and roared, "This is a Top Grade Elixir!"

As these words fell, a deathly silence descended upon the hall, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.

But the very next moment, the entire crowd erupted in an uproar!

"Jian Haotian can actually concoct Top Grade Elixirs?"

"How long has he even been in the Elixir Palace?"

"Does this mean the Top Grade Elixirs Fatty was selling some time ago were actually concocted by Jian Haotian?"

"That’s incredible!"

"He’s a prodigy in the world of alchemy! No, only ’monster’ is a fitting enough term to describe him."

"No wonder the Hall Master and both Great Elders cherish him so much."

"Looking at it now, Cheng Yi truly overestimated himself!"

The shock in everyone’s hearts was beyond words. freewёbnoνel.com

This was especially true for Lu Hong. She kept muttering "Top Grade Elixir, Top Grade Elixir" to herself.

Suddenly, she felt as if she, Cheng Yi, Ling Yan, and Ji Jin were just a troupe of jumping clowns. They had thought themselves so remarkable, spending their days mocking others and calling them ’connected.’ In reality, that person hadn’t spared them a single thought. How utterly comical!

Luo Xiong scanned the crowd and sneered, "The ’connected disciple’ you all look down on can concoct Top Grade Elixirs. Isn’t that laughable? This Hall Master certainly finds it so. But the most laughable one of all is you..."

Luo Xiong turned back to Lin Chen, sneering, "You jumped to conclusions without even looking carefully. This Hall Master simply cannot comprehend why the Elixir King Palace would send a worthless cur like you to oversee the assessment!"

Cur? A furious rage surged within Lin Chen, and he roared, "Even if he can concoct Top Grade Elixirs, his murder of Cheng Yi is an undeniable fact!"

"How dare you shout at me!

"If you hadn’t been constantly targeting him, would he have killed Cheng Yi in a rage?

"We are not deaf.

"Just now, he asked you to take a closer look. But because of your arrogance and conceit, not only did you not look, you even spoke insolently and with malicious intent to harm!

"Now, you tell this Hall Master, whose fault is this?" Luo Xiong thundered.

Lin Chen instantly lost all his bluster.

"The significance to the Elixir Palace of someone who can concoct Top Grade Elixirs—especially someone who has just begun learning alchemy and can already achieve this—should be perfectly clear to you, even without this Hall Master needing to spell it out.

"This Hall Master still remembers how, back then, to persuade him to join the Elixir Palace, Old Feng, Old Mo, and I could be said to have exhausted all our efforts.

"But now, because of you, he doesn’t want to go to the Elixir King Palace anymore.

"What do you propose we do?

"Let me tell you, if you cannot make him change his mind, then this Hall Master will have no choice but to report this matter truthfully to the Chief Hall Master! At that time, this Hall Master would like to see what fate awaits you!" Luo Xiong scoffed and turned to leave, but then added, "In the future, you’d best not smile. It’s repulsive to others. As for the upcoming assessments, Old Feng, Old Mo, you two will remain and supervise."

"Understood," Feng Cheng and Elder Mo nodded.

Subsequently, Luo Xiong strode away.
