Chapter 807

People thought it was because Jiang Chen had no idea where to start that he let the fire burn .

“It’ll be good enough if you can get even one flaming lotus . Maybe none of those from the Elixir Fire Union will make it . ” Someone said in a sarcastic tone . People burst out laughing .

Jiang Chen walked ahead with his hands open, as if he had heard all the vicious comments . As he walked, the ten fire pillars started to flicker, as if they were in a strong wind .

“What is he up to?”

People were both surprised and puzzled to see what he was doing . Although they had some assumptions, it was too crazy an idea for them to believe .

“Is he going to work on the ten flaming lotuses at the same time?!”

Not until they found everyone else was having the same ideas did they burst out exclaiming . Those from the Elixir Fire Union and the Elixir Association all held their breaths, staring at Jiang Chen .

Those from the Elixir Divine Valley also noticed what he was doing out of the corners of their eyes . They had butterflies in their stomachs . However, it was not time to get distracted . They hurried to concentrate on their own tasks .

“Will he really make it?” Gazing at Jiang Chen, Chen Xi was also shocked .

It was extremely difficult to make a flaming lotus appear in the fire . When she was designing the second test, she even thought about the possibility that none of these participants would pass .

However, Jiang Chen was so bold that she felt that all the things she had believed would be shaken . Soon, noticing the Holy Lotus Elixir dregs in the fire pillars were following a certain pattern to change, Chen Xi was shocked .

“Who on Earth is his master?!”

“He can’t succeed . ”

The other people were standing farther away . Neither were their eyes as sharp as Chen Xi’s . After the surprise, they still could hardly believe Jiang Chen would make it .

“He is riding ten horses at once . If he succeeds, it almost means the alchemists from the Three Upper Realms aren’t even one-tenth as good as he is . ”

That was it . Jiang Chen was great, but he could not be so great .

At the moment, Jiang Chen was super-concentrated . The talents he had in his previous life were unquestionable . The key to this success, however, was his current status . He felt lucky that he had used God of Fire Descends to the World twice so that the consumed Fire Meteorite had improved his lore of fire greatly . And thanks to the Fire God Scripture, he managed to do what he was doing . Otherwise, even though he was the Elixir Saint in his previous life, he would have been hugely limited by his current strength .

Soon, some from the Elixir Fire Union failed, while others succeeded . Those who failed were almost all disciples of the Elixir Fire Union from the Three Middle Realms, while those who had succeeded were the five from the Elixir Divine Valley . Those from the Elixir Fire Union did not look good . After their trick had been disclosed, people would just keep talking about their results and never let it go .

However, at the thought of the Ten Techniques, which they would get once they won, they swallowed it and pretended all of this was normal . Good news came before long . The short-haired woman also made it . Extending her hand into the fire pillar, she fetched out a burning flaming lotus . Although it was made of fire, the lotus had perfect details, as if it had been carved by a master .

In a very short time, three people from the Elixir Fire Union succeeded, and two were still working . The other five were eliminated .

Soon, exclamations came from the Elixir Fire Union, since their remaining two members had got their flaming lotuses too . In this way, they had five people who were successful, better than the first round, in which four people were successful . And this time disciples from the Elixir Fire Union were also among the successful ones . No matter what the Elixir Association argued, it would be useless .

“The Elixir Association will suffer a huge loss this time . They won’t be paramount anymore . ”

“What a pity . If they had taken action against the Elixir Fire Union for those foreign helpers and had been more thick-skinned, they wouldn’t have to give away their techniques . ”

“Hey, I know you . You just scorned the Elixir Association . You said they were shameless and not respecting the rules . And now you’re hitting them when they are down . ”

“Ha, ha, ha . I’m free to do that . It’s none of your business!”

There were all kinds of people on the scene . The Elixir Association was always in a high position, and many people had to look up to them . What was happening on this day actually made many people vent their dissatisfactions .

“My master is still working . You sound like he has already lost . Stop doing that . ” Ji Ruxue was young, but she was quite hot-tempered . She could not help but scream at those who were gloating .

The crowd went silent for a moment . Then they burst out laughing .

“Did you hear that? This Jiang Chen is already a master . ”

“How old is he? Is he good enough to be a master? He is wasting this young girl’s time . ”

“I guess he just talked her into it, like today . ”

These harsh comments made Ji Ruxue feel falsely accused . Tears sprang to her eyes .

“Sis, don’t let yourself bothered by these people . Believe your master,” Ji Yinyi said .

“Okay . ” Ji Ruxue nodded . She looked toward the square again .

Jiang Chen was doing ten people’s work alone . It was natural that it would take him a long time . However, the fire would not keep burning for him . The flames were getting weaker, and the fire pillars were shorter . This process would accelerate until the fire completely died out .

“Tut . Tut . Tut . The alchemist master said he would challenge us ten alone . ” A guy from the Elixir Divine Valley said sarcastically, but at the thought of Chen Xi’s words, he shut up immediately after an embarrassed grin .

Chen Xi did not bother to warn him again . She was focusing on Jiang Chen’s progress .

When the fire pillars were only three meters high, Jiang Chen suddenly raised his hands . The fire started to burn fiercely again . The fire pillars soared to 30 meters . That was quite impressive .

“How come? He shouldn’t be able to control the fire . ”

Those from the Elixir Divine Valley were dumbfounded . They had no idea how Jiang Chen had done it .

“It’s the holy lotus’s dregs . He is about to succeed!” Someone shouted in a high-pitched voice .

“What? He is about to succeed? In getting just one lotus or…all of them?!”

This was a question that no one could answer . Those who had scorned Jiang Chen were all petrified .

In the ten fire pillars, those sparkling dots finally gathered together to form one flaming lotus and another, which could be clearly seen .

Jiang Chen did not have to fetch them, since they had flown out of the top of the fire pillars into the air .

The ten glittering flaming lotuses were beyond compare . They totally outshone the five flaming lotuses of the Elixir Fire Union .

The flaming lotuses were whirling around the square with Jiang Che at the center .

“One, two, three… . ”

“Stop counting . There are ten!”

“Then it’s ten to five, twice as many as what his rivals have gotten!”

In the first round, the result was four to two . The Elixir Fire Union’s result was also twice as many as the Elixir Association’s result . However, it was not the same thing as what happened at that moment .

Jiang Chen fetched ten flaming lotuses from the fire alone, and each of his flaming lotuses was stronger than the Elixir Fire Union’s .

“What a freak!”

Those from the Elixir Divine Valley was completely speechless . They were frustrated . It was a hard blow for them . If they had another chance, they might not have allowed the Elixir Fire Union to say yes to this suggestion .

“Now, one to one . ” Chen Xi announced the result of this round . She was surprised too, but she managed to hold back her emotions .

“The third round, also the last round, will be the deciding round! Now let’s take a rest,” Chen Xi continued .

Those flaming lotuses would turn back into dregs over time . However, the time it would take them to disappear depended on their level .

When the Elixir Fire Union’s five flaming lotuses had disappeared a long time, Jiang Chen’s had just started to vanish .

“Jiang Chen, apologies for what I said . I was too ignorant . ” Coming up to Jiang Chen during the break, Yan Ruyu said this to him sincerely .

Everyone from the Elixir Association was shocked . The whole world knew what a proud person Yan Ruyu was . However, she had apologized to Jiang Chen so sincerely . They had to admit Jiang Chen was really great .
