Limitless - Chapter 186: True Soul Pill

Bi Yueyue looked surprised as she smiled at the teenager, "So your name is Yan Xiaoyu?"

Everyone who heard this was in chaos.

You don’t even know her name, yet you drag her away?

The key was, you were successful in abducting her!

No one knew how she did it… but everyone was extremely curious. Is this Yan Xiaoyu’s own intention.

After being chided by the lady, Yan Xiaoyu kept her head down, silent.

The lady was on the verge of going crazy, What the f*ck is going on?

She had brought a large number of people to avenge her dead fiance. She had thought that this would be an easy win.

In the end...

Her entire army was annihilated in all three rounds!

To be honest, the fact that there was Pill Spirit could not be said. Even if she said it, no one would believe her.

How could a teenaged boy with abilities of an elementary advanced level pill refiner be able to do something pill masters find difficult to do?

As such, in the eyes of many, Yuwen Xiaoxiao had won the final round against Song Binbin!

64 against 24. Even without considering the quality, she had smashed him with sheer quantity noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

However, she tried to be noble and admit defeat to give the Wafting Fragrance School face… even though it was rather immature of her because the screen clearly showed the pills from the two competitors.

The color and quantity were clear for all to see.

However, what Yuwen Xiaoxiao did was unforgivable. Afterall, she was still a kid and would not think so much.

At least her intentions were correct and she was prepared to concede the round to the Wafting Fragrance School.

They had been smashed in all three rounds.

Even before the competition between teachers, two of their students had defected!

The lady could even imagine the kind of backlash she would face when she returned.

The fact that her father was an elder in the school may not even be sufficient to save her.

And now, she couldn’t even find it in herself to hate!

Who can she hate?

Could she hate Sensei Song Hong?

He was just trying to cure his student’s mother! He was doing his job as a medical practitioner!

After their plot to assassinate the wife was revealed, the concubine’s family had tried to assassinate Song Hong for revenge, but was killed instead.

Regardless who had killed him, Lu Tianxiang and the Lu Clan were clearly in the wrong.

As such, right now, she did not even have the right to hate anyone!

If only she could be an unfeeling ice queen, but she could not!

She had lived a righteous, peaceful and caring life for the past 20 years. She owned up to her own mistakes.

But she had never felt like this before.

Shame, embarrassment, fury, sadness… countless emotions amalgamated in her brain and she was on the verge of crumbling.

To be honest, it was no big deal even if Song Binbin defected.

Afterall, other than her, no one knew of his talent.

However, Yan Xiaoyu was different!

She came from an extremely influential family in the Qi Country.

She belonged to a family that even the royal family had to respect!

And the Qi Country was many times larger than the Song Country!

How else would they have such a powerful school?

Yan Xiaoyu was also an astonishingly talented girl.

Without considering her talents in pill refining, she was extremely powerful in battle as well.

Furthermore, she was adept with magical formations and had quite a few achievements in that field.

It was no exaggeration to say that Yan Xiaoyu was a top class talent.

If she lost such a talented individual, even her father… would not spare her!

The lady wished that this was all a dream and that it would all disappear once she woke up.

How good would that be?

At this point, Yan Xiaoyu bravely raised her head and said with conviction, "I want to stay here!"

It wasn’t an ‘I think’, but an ‘I want’...

This was a fresh way of expressing her opinion.

The lady looked at Yan Xiaoyu and used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Did someone threaten you? Don’t be afraid! I am here for you!"

"Teacher, I really wasn’t threatened. I am doing this out of my own will." Yan Xiaoyu looked at the lady sincerely, "I really love pill refining and I hope that I can become a guru in the future."

There’s a better chance of you becoming a guru in the Wafting Fragrance School!

The lady felt like she was going crazy as she looked at Yan Xiaoyu, lost for words, "Think about it carefully, this does not just concern you. It concerns your family and many others, I hope you do not make a rash decision."

Yan Xiaoyu nodded and maintained her sweet smile as she whispered, "Teacher, rest assured, I have communicated my intentions to my family and they are supportive."

"..." The lady was at a loss and she felt like she was going to crumble.

She wanted to call Yan Xiaoyu a liar, but… how long could you perpetrate such a lie?

If this was a lie, it would be so easy to tear apart!

All the Purple Cloud School students present were incredibly excited, they had never felt this good before.

Never in their wildest dreams did they expect to see such an entertaining competition.

Liu Yuyan, as well as the royal family, were all wide eyed and in disbelief at what they were seeing.

Princess Song Yu looked at Chu Yu with admiration. Then she looked at Liu Yuyan seriously, "Are you sure… that you don’t mind if I pursue him?"

Liu Yuyan stiffened slightly, her expression conflicted as she bit her lower lip lightly.

Song Yu saw that and rolled her eyes. She knew her childhood friend too well. This meant that she was interested in him but did not want to admit it.

"Aish…" Song Yu sighed and leaned back in exasperation, "Damn it, there are so little great guys in the world. But when I find one, my younger sister already likes him…"

"..." Liu Yuyan was shy, but she suppressed it and didn’t explain further.

Song Yu suddenly sprung up and stood up straight. She shifted next to Liu Yuyan and whispered, "How about, we both go after him?"

"..." Everyone else on the scene could not believe their ears.

Song Qi kept coughing by the side.

Song Yu glared at him, "What are you coughing at? Can’t I do that?"

Song Qi threw his hands in the air in exasperation, "Sister, you’re a princess!"

"So what if I’m a princess? Can’t a princess pursue her happiness?" Song Yu’s eyes rolled then she sighed, "A pity, we don’t know if he will like us… aish, how saddening."

By this time, things on the ground began to change and their focus turned back to it.

Since the lady could not convince Yan Xiaoyu, she turned her attention to Chu Yu.

"Sensei Song, I must say that you’re really good at teaching. Previously, I heard that the Purple Cloud School did not even have a Pill Refining Section. I also heard that the section was made up of expelled students from other sections. The school couldn’t bear to expel them so they posted them here to fend for themselves…"

The Principal of the Purple Cloud School saw his face flush, but he could not deny any of these.

The attractive lady continued, "Everyone, external and internal, thought the same way!"

Then, she looked towards the leadership of the Purple Cloud School. All of them avoided her gaze.

"This can only prove one thing, you’re too good!" The attractive lady laughed bitterly, "You have managed to make these disobedient kids into advanced level pill refiners… and even pill masters!"

She did not continue for fear that it would raise questions about how Chu Yu actually trained these kids.

If he could cultivate such great pill refiners and even pill masters whilst his own cultivation level was not high meant only one thing!

He had an unbelievably powerful set of teachings on hand!

It could be a Divine Lord level set, or even… a Legendary Emperor Realm set!

She did not even dare think about a saint’s legacy.

In the entire Mirror World, people who owned a saint’s legacy… were few and far between.

It was only possible to find it in the top 10 schools.

How could you find one in such a place?

In the entire Qi Country, with a land mass many times that of the Song Country, not a single saint’s legacy was passed down.

At this point, the attractive lady looked deeply into Chu Yu’s eyes, "I really do admire your ability to teach. However, I do not know how powerful you are. As such, I still want to challenge you!"

Chu Yu sighed and nodded, "Since you want to challenge, then let’s go."

"Actually, take it as a request, because I do not have the confidence to refine this pill." This lady said hesitantly, using the Voice Transmission Technique.

"If Sensei refines this pill successfully, you would win. Then, I would like to buy three pills from you. Rest assured that I will offer you a fair price for all of them…"

"Are you hiring me to refine pills?" Chu Yu finally understood her plan. He squinted and thought to himself, What a great plan!

The lady did not panic even though her plan was revealed. She smiled bitterly, "Sensei, what do you think will be the result when I return back to the Wafting Fragrance School?"

Chu Yu stiffened slightly, then sighed and shook his head.

The attractive lady said, "I don’t blame sensei, this entire chain of events started as a result of my immaturity and recklessness. However, I hope to have something that will be able to lessen my punishment when I return."

Chu Yu looked at this lady. Even though they were using the Voice Transmission Technique, he admired her honesty.

She had laid it all out to him.

"Okay, I promise you, if I can refine the pill you want, I will sell it to you!" Chu Yu nodded.

"Thank you!" The lady thanked him sincerely.

Then, she looked at the crowd and said, "The pill I’m asking for is the True Soul Pill!"

True Jerk? [1]

Chu Yu was rather speechless, but he felt a shiver in his heart.

He had seen this pill in the Immortal Crane Pill Scripture before.

The issue was, these pills were to give to cultivators at the pinnacle of the True Lord Realm to break through to the Divine Lord Realm!

Wouldn’t he be creating a Divine Lord for the Mirror World?

Chu Yu regretted this slightly now.

However, he immediately thought of something and heaved a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, If we are never enemies, then all will be well. However, if you become my enemy one day… all I can say is sorry!

Between my reputation and my home… I definitely value my home more!

[1] this is a play on the tone. True Jerk and True Soul Pill have similar Mandarin pronunciations.

Limitless - Chapter 185: Chaos

Not only was it unlikely, it was quite impossible!

He is a student of the Wafting Fragrance School and it could be seen that the lady knew him and could call him by his name. She also trusted him enough to send him for the final round, despite all the pressure.

How is it possible… to have someone like that leave their school and the people they trust to come over to a foreign and much less qualified school?

But he had to give it a go!

Chu Yu thought to himself.

In the entire arena, only two people truly understood what the energy that exited from the pill furnace entailed.

They were Chu Yu and the lady.

Chu Yu saw it with his own eyes!

The lady had deduced it.

The others could only feel the energy flying out, but they didn’t know what it meant.

The lady’s expression was aghast and she unconsciously glanced at Chu Yu.

Chu Yu’s expression had already returned to normal.

Did he see any problem?

The lady observed Chu Yu as she thought to herself and hesitated… should she admit defeat!

From sheer numbers, Song Binbin had only refined 24 pills, an advanced level pill refiner.

Even though his pill engravings were beautiful and the sizes were identical, they were miles off from Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s pills.

If not for the fact that there was Pill Spirit, he would have lost handedly.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao hesitated. Even though she did not really know what had happened, she came from a pill refining family and had an idea of what happened by relating it to the legends she knew!

Sensei’s look of shock had not escaped her eyes. It wasn’t because she knew what was going on, but at that time, she was looking to Chu Yu for approval...

"If this boy’s pills are really what we hear of in the legends… then no matter how perfect my pills are, I have lost!"

Yuwen Xiaoxiao was not someone who couldn’t accept defeat, and she had no qualms about admitting someone was better than her.

However, now, she felt especially depressed.

It was like a slap to her face. Her opponent’s pills had Pill Spirit, meaning that they were of much better quality than her!

It would take a long time for her to reach that standard.

Pill Spirit!

Where did this young man… get his talent and skill from?

Pills with Pill Spirit were of astronomical value!

Even though the Pill Spirit disappeared the moment the lid was lifted, these pills were still far superior to normal pills.

For example, 10000 thoughtless robots were not as valuable as a single, thinking worker.

Pill Spirits occur only after one has attained the advanced levels of Pill Master.

And the occurrences were rare!

Even when one attained the level of Guru, the chances of Pill Spirits only increased slightly.

And the Pill Spirit was likely… to disappear.

Even the Gurus could not guarantee that every batch would have Pill Spirit, as for every pill… even a pill saint could not guarantee it.

However, when one attained the level of Guru, they will have the technique to seal in the Pill Spirit.

Any pill with a sealed Pill Spirit was priceless!

When one attained the level of saint, it would be a lot easier to refine pills with Pill Spirit, furthermore, the Pill Spirit was unlikely to escape.

As such, any pill refined by a saint, even if it is just a Spiritual Concentration Pill, was of unthinkable value.

An ordinary person may not even be able to see one in his entire life!

As such, where did this boy’s talent come from? He could refine pills with Pill Spirit at the tender age of seventeen!

Anyone who vaguely knew about this man’s talent would never let him go.

The girl made her decision, even if she was going to lose face, she must keep Song Binbin and not let her enemy know!

Yes, even if her fiance was in the wrong, he was still her fiance!

Even though she had agreed to bury the hatchet after this competition, the fact that Song Hong is her enemy would never change.

As such, she was extremely afraid that Song Binbin’s talent would be discovered and he would be poached away.

She was aware that Song Binbin was not valued by the Wafting Fragrance School, and… he was frequently bullied.

Based on a child’s mentality, he would follow whoever treats him well.

As such… she had to admit defeat first, then try to compensate him after! Then, when they returned, she would tell her father about his talent. This will definitely excite him!

However, just as the lady was about to speak, Yuwen Xiaoxiao said softly and conflictedly, "I have lost!"

OMG!

The entire arena went silent.

Everyone stared at her, mouths agape.

There was a huge screen behind the stage and her 64 pills with exquisite engravings could be seen clearly.

Everyone saw her pills!

And were shocked by it!

The fact that she could refine 64 pills at such a young age meant that her potential was immeasurable!

On the other hand, Song Binbin’s 24 pills, although acceptable, were a far cry from Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s in terms of appearance. This made the teachers and students from the Wafting Cloud School want to dig a hole to hide their faces.

There was simply no comparison between the two!

Even though there was a wave of energy that burst out when Song Binbin opened his lit, who knew if it was just residual energy from the medicine?

Then, they looked at Song Binbin’s ashen face and look of despair. It was clear that he knew his pills were nowhere near his opponents!

His pills were inferior both in quality and quantity!

How embarrassing!

All the teachers and students from the Wafting Fragrance School hated Song Binbin.

They had not wanted to compete in this third round, but he had insisted on it!

In the end?

He was handedly beaten!

Is he happy now?

Song Binbin stood rooted to the ground, his head lowered, not even daring to open his eyes.

He did not understand how terrifying the pills he had refined were. Previously, he was unwilling to accept defeat and his bones burnt with determination, he was not going to give up!

Even if he was going to lose, he was going to lose with honor!

Yes, he would rather lose than give up!

However, in the end, he still lost handedly. He had thought that he would be able to handle victory or defeat, however, with all eyes on him, he felt completely lost and out of sorts.

He felt like he was floating in the air, lost.

However, under such a circumstance, Yuwen Xiaoxiao… she had… admitted defeat?

Song Binbin, who had his head drooped in shame and sadness, looked up, his eyes revealing his disbelief as he stared at Yuwen Xiaoxiao.

Is she crazy?

Insane?

Stupid?

Or...

"Noble and honest!"

A teacher from the Wafting Fragrance School said emotionally, eyes reddened.

He was convinced!

Completely convinced!

His eyes revealed his sincerity as he looked at Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "Child, it is a waste for someone like you to stay here. Furthermore, your character and behavior is exemplary! Are you willing to come over to the Wafting Fragrance School?"

What the f*ck?

You’re trying to poach my student even before I poach yours?

Chu Yu stared at the teacher.

This Wafting Fragrance School teacher ignored Chu Yu’s gaze.

He continued to tell Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "It would be a waste of your talent to remain here. Come with us and see the world. I believe that your potential is limitless!"

"Mm, I know." Yuwen Xiaoxiao nodded.

This teacher was speechless. He suddenly felt that this beautiful lady was just like her sensei.

They were all so shameless… and unpredictable.

The lady did not want to hesitate any longer. She looked at Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "This student is too humble, the screen clearly shows the result and no one will say that you’ve lost. This round is won by you. But it’s okay, these students of ours are no pill refiners. They are battle trained, when we return, naturally…"

Before she could finish, the skinny boy Song Binbin fell to his knees in front of her and bowed thrice.

Hmm?

What is this?

Everyone was stupefied.

No one knew what this boy, who had lost, was trying to do.

The lady had a bad feeling about this. She thought to herself, Silly boy, when we return, I will definitely send you to the PIll Refining Section.

She used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Song Binbin not to say anything foolishly. When they returned, she will definitely send him to the Pill Refining Section and cultivate him properly.

However, Song Binbin did not seem to hear her.

After he bowed three times, he said seriously, "I have been in the Wafting Fragrance School for two years. I had signed up for the Pill Refining Section initially, but I was rejected because the section head thought that I wasn’t talented enough. In the end, I was posted to the Battle Section, but I never gave up on pill refining. My only wish is to be the best in pill refining."

"You…" The lady looked at him with vigor, "You’re a talent, when we return, I will definitely let you enrol in the Pill Refining Section."

"It’s okay teacher, thank you. You’re my only source of warmth in the entire Wafting Fragrance School. Teacher, last year, whilst doing an experiment, I accidentally used a memory crystal to record a scene. I was afraid and did not know you well then, so I kept it. Now I am giving it to you, after you’re done watching it, you will understand many things."

As Song Binbin spoke, he retrieved a memory crystal and handed it over to the lady.

With a look of doubt, the lady took the memory crystal in her hand and used her mental energy to see what was inside.

In that instant, her expression changed.

Blood drained from her face instantly!

Her body and hands… trembled immensely.

Two of the Wafting Fragrance School teachers rushed over and glared at Song Binbin, "What did you let her see?"

At this point, tears formed in the lady’s eyes and she said, "It’s nothing to do with him."

Then, she took a deep breath and looked at Song Binbin, "Tell me, what is your request?"

Song Binbin said, "I hope that I can leave the Wafting Fragrance School. I would like to enrol in the Purple Cloud School’s Pill Refining Section and learn from Sensei Song!"

He said this readily and without hesitation.

The lady looked at Song Binbin solemnly, "I can teach you myself!"

"I would like to learn from Sensei Song." Song Binbin was determined.

Just as the teachers from the Wafting Fragrance School were about to scold Song Binbin, the lady nodded, "Okay, I can grant you your wish, but… will they accept you?"

Chu Yu had a lot of interest in Song Binbin initially, but now he hesitated!

He did not know what Song Binbin handed to the lady, but from her reaction, it was likely to be related to Lu Tianxiang.

A student had kept an accidental recording for so long, not destroying it, just waiting for a day like this to use it.

What a masterstroke!

His plan and cunningness… did not match his age.

He seemed like someone who would use any means to get to his goal!

Chu Yu squinted as he looked at Song Binbin.

At this point, the lady used the Voice Transmission Technique to speak to Chu Yu, "He showed me a scene where Lu Tianxiang was passionately kissing another lady. He did record this accidentally, that I can assure you. But the fact that he kept it till today and brought it out at such a time, his planning… decide for yourself! Song Hong, our feud is over! But we must continue with the competition! It’s okay even if I lose to you, at least I can help your reputation."

After hearing this, Chu Yu contemplated silently.

The development of events had far exceeded anything predictable.

Many of the people from the Wafting Fragrance School felt that Song Binbin was a traitor. Even with his talent, he did not think about the favors that were given to him. Even after the lady promised him the world, he was unmoved.

Good riddance!

It would be a sore sight to see him in school!

As for the side of the Purple Cloud, many were completely stunned by what was going on.

What is happening here?

Are you submitting to the power of the Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section?

In fact, after the competition, many students in the Purple Cloud School contemplated enrolling in the Pill Refining Section and learning from Sensei Song.

Song Binbin hesitated, then fell to his knees in front of Chu Yu, "Please sensei, accept me and teach me the art of pill refining!"

He looked extremely innocent and sincere as he begged CHu Yu.

Chu Yu used the Voice Transmission Technique, "Answer a few questions, then I’ll decide whether or not to accept you."

Song Binbin looked at Chu Yu and nodded.

"That thing, why did you keep it on yourself for so long and take it out now? Were you trying to use it as leverage so she will let you go? Do you have similar items on you?" Chu Yu asked.

Song Binbin replied without hesitation, also using the Voice Transmission Technique, "I thought that it could be used one day. Indeed, I used it today so that she would let me go. At the same time, I wanted her to know that it was not worth her effort to find trouble with you over scum like that. I do not have anything similar on me. Sensei, I am not a bad person, but I am also not dumb."

After he finished, Song Binbin put his head to the ground and said, "I’m begging you Sensei, trust me, I will not let you down!"

"Okay!"

Chu Yu nodded, "Rise, I’ll accept you!"

　

"Thank you Sensei! Thank you Sensei!" Song Binbin said repeatedly, choking slightly.

At this point, a distant voice could be heard, "Hang on hang on, Sensei, she wants to join us too!"

Chu Yu turned around and saw Bi Yueyue walk over with that sweet teenager. The teenager’s expression was sad and bitter and she drooped her head, unwilling to look at anyone.

Chu Yu felt butterflies in his stomach.

God damn, she managed to catch her so quickly?

The Purple Cloud arena was in chaos.

The Principal looked on in exasperation. This, ahem… was completely out of control.

He did not know whether to be surprised or shocked.

The 12 girls were still the same!

Able to create trouble!

Everyone from the Wafting Fragrance School looked on unhappily.

They were all going crazy!

What the f*ck was this?

Not only were they handedly beaten by a lesser school, now, their students are defecting over to this school?

The lady could no longer suppress her fury and she hollered, "No way! Yan Xiaoyu, are you crazy?"

Limitless - Chapter 184: Spiritual Pill

The Principal of the Purple Cloud School could clearly describe the memory of a feeling from many years ago.

"Extremely delighted!"

"Definitely, no other words could better describe the emotions that I had felt," he said.

He had personally ordered the twelve furnaces for the twelve girls. Six across and seven down, there were 42 shiny and smooth pills. The engravings on the pill were exquisite as they lay in neat order at the bottom of the pill furnace.

Will of Heaven Pill!

A real Will of Heaven Pill!

Each one exuded a strong aura of medicine. A sniff would make a person exceptionally happy. Any emotions of angst would be calmed instantly.

Superior quality!

A real superior quality Will of Heaven Pill!

The Principal did not even need to analyze it to confirm it.

He raised his head, trying to look for Bi Yueyue, but couldn’t find her after scanning the surroundings.

However, he was not angry with her, not in the least bit!

Which capable person did not have their quirks?

Exactly, none of them!

He raised his head and puffed his chest as he looked at the attractive lady from the Wafting Fragrance School.

All of a sudden, he felt that he was according them too much respect!

So what if they were the Wafting Fragrance School. If the Vice Principal of their school had come, then it would be courteous for him to receive them. However, they were just a group of teachers and students. To accord them such treatment... seemed to be slightly too much?

Before this, he never felt this way, he only hoped that they would not thrash his students too hard.

But times had changed.

The Pill Refining Section had given him a huge surprise.

In order for someone to keep their head held high, they needed to be capable!

The attractive lady had no interest in seeing the change of emotion in the Principal of the Purple Cloud School. She walked to the pill furnace and looked at the 42 Will of Heaven pills. She smiled bitterly in exasperation.

As for that sweet teenager’s furnace, she did not even have the courage to open it.

That last wave of fire... had clearly burnt all of the pills up!

If she opened it, she would only see a pile of medicinal pulp and add to their humiliation.

"For the third round, we..."

Just as the lady was about to say "Give up", a low but resolute voice could be heard from the Wafting Fragrance School camp.

　

"Teacher, I would like to compete in the third round!"

A slim and seemingly weak boy, about 17 or 18 years old stepped out. He looked extremely young and his dressing showed that he was from a well to do family.

His eyes were clean and bright. The contrast in his eyes were stark and they looked like stars in the sky. His eyes were his most attractive feature.

The lady looked at him and frowned. She whispered, "Song Binbin, we have already lost..."

"Yes, we have lost, but the challenge is not over." The boy looked at the attractive lady resolutely.

Some of the students from the Wafting Fragrance School already felt rather frustrated.

This was supposed to be an easy trip, where they would simply smash their opponents. Yet, now, it was a trip where they got smashed instead.

Amongst them, other than Song Binbin, no one wanted to continue with the challenge. They wanted this nightmare trip to end and return to the Wafting Fragrance School. Then, they would pray that news of this incident did not spread.

Even though they were not from the Wafting Fragrance School’s Pill Refining Section, the key problem here was that not many students in other Pill Refining Sections could match up to their standard!

Yet, they had lost to a group of unknown girls from an unranked school.

This... was such an embarrassment!

Their wish for news of this not to spread would never come true.

The largest social media platform in the Mirror World already had news of this challenge!

However, the Purple Cloud School was unworthy of attention. Also... even though the Wafting Fragrance School was a top 100 school, they were not particularly high ranking.

As such, news of this would not be particularly explosive.

To those from the superior schools, these were just two extremely low schools engaging in pointless competition.

Even if it went completely against all predictions, they would not bother with it.

The attractive lady had already felt the frustration from the teachers and students of the Wafting Fragrance School.

She knew that once they lost the advantage, her people would lose their confidence and their patience.

She looked at Song Binbin, wanting to reject him.

However, when she saw the determination in his eyes, she could not bring herself to reject him.

Actually... why not give it a go?

Since she was already willful, she should just be willful to the end! Either way, she was going to be punished when she returned this time, why not just fulfil the stubbornness of a child?

"Okay, go!"

The attractive lady looked into the boy’s eyes, "No matter the result, you are still a good student!"

"Thank you teacher." Song Binbin bowed.

"Go on!" The lady nodded.

This time, Yuwen Xiaoxiao walked up to the stage, not allowing anyone to take her place.

She placed the pill furnace engraved with a chicken on the stage. The commotion she caused had shocked many people who were not paying much attention.

Yuwen Xiaoxiao looked at Song Binbin haughtily, "Little boy, call me your elder sister!"

"..." Countless people were speechless when they heard that, remembering how terrifying the 12 demonic girls from the Pill Refining Section were.

Song Binbin was shy. He had not much aura to speak of. He drooped his head and looked at Yuwen Xiaoxiao meekly, "Little elder sis..."

"It’s elder sis! Not little elder sis! What the hell is little elder sis?" Yuwen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes than looked at Song Binbin, "Tell me, what do you want to compete in? What pill shall we refine?"

Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s behaviour was arrogant beyond belief. It did not seem like she was asking him what he wanted to compete in, but rather asking him how he wanted to die...

Song Binbin said weakly, "Let’s refine the Spiritual Concentration Pill then..."

"Spiritual Concentration Pill? Did I hear you wrongly?" Yuwen Xiaoxiao saw the determination in his eyes and smiled, "Okay, Spiritual Concentration Pill it is!"

Whilst she spoke, Yuwen Xiaoxiao sent the refining fire to its compartment underneath the pill furnace. Then, she quickly grabbed a few medicine and threw them into the furnace.

"..." Everyone was stunned by what the saw.

Mm, it is still the same, they all used the same technique.

All of the girls under Chu Yu’s tutelage used the same disorderly manner to refine pills.

Chu Yu, who was extremely calm, saw the young boy start well, and began to frown.

His gut told him that this boy... was not simple.

When the boy took out his pill furnace, Chu Yu’s vertical eye sprang into action!

Treasure!

True Lord magical equipment? Or Divine Lord magical equipment?

Although it was nowhere near his own Immortal Crane Pill Furnace, his seemingly ordinary pill furnace was extremely powerful, definitely better than a Supreme Realm magical equipment.

Chu Yu also found that this boy was extremely steady in his every action, and his eyes were steely.

All of a sudden, he had a feeling that if his strongest student, Yuwen Xiaoxiao, was careless and took her opponent lightly... then she could very well be defeated!

Should I warn her?

Chu Yu hesitated.

Based on the current situation, he had to remind Yuwen Xiaoxiao not to be too cocky.

However, for Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s growth, Chu Yu felt that letting her lose this... could help her in her future!

Ok... it’s decided then!

In certain aspects, Chu Yu was also rather willful.

If Yuwen Xiaoxiao won this round handedly as well, then the Wafting Fragrance School would lose all of their dignity. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

They had travelled a great distance to smash the weakest section of an unranked school. Even though they were from the battle section, it could be seen that these students were all experts at pill refining for their age.

In the end, they were slapped by the Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section. No, now, it was two slaps.

If Yuwen Xiaoxiao won... it would be three slaps!

But Chu Yu did not warn Yuwen Xiaoxiao in advance.

As such, both sides started this match with no expectations, but the result... shocked everyone!

Yuwen Xiaoxiao had refined pills eight across and eight down for a total of 64 pills. Each one was filled with spiritual energy that would render anyone speechless.

It was no exaggeration to say that Yuwen Xiaoxiao had the skills of a pill master!

Each of her pills was like an art piece!

Even when the attractive lady saw this, despite being from the opposite camp, she could not help but nod. Then, she broke out in a bitter smile.

Who had said that the Purple Cloud Pill Refining Section was horrible?

What a huge joke!

Many of the students and teachers from the Wafting Fragrance School felt like crumbling.

"We have already lost, they have already won two of the three rounds. Haven’t we been slapped enough? Must we still give them our face for them to slap another time? I guess he’s happy now?"

"Really, why is he so determined? Is there a point in being so resilient? Never give up? F*ck me... the truth is out for all to see, what’s the use of not giving up?"

Many people began to chide Song Binbin.

As for the Purple Cloud School, the spectators were relaxed and waiting for a good show.

"Three in a row! How fun!"

"They have been annihilated!"

"People from the battle section should just focus on that, why bother refining pills?"

"Hahahahaha! Exactly, exactly!"

Faced with these voices, the skinny youth Song Binbin did not make a peep as he silently lifted the lid of his pill furnace.

"Aiyo, he actually has the courage to lift the lid..." One of the Wafting Fragrance School students said. All of a sudden, he felt a strong wave of spiritual energy rush into the sky!

In that instant, he swallowed his words and looked on in aghast.

The spiritual energy was invisible and shapeless, but any powerful cultivator could feel that strong wave of spiritual energy.

However, in Chu Yu’s eyes, he saw a dragon made from pure energy... fly out from the furnace!

It twirled three rounds around the furnace, then flew off into the air!

Even though the others couldn’t see it, the higher their cultivation level, the more keenly they felt it. However, they didn’t know what it was.

"Spiritual Pill? How is that possible?" Chu Yu’s expression changed in that instant.

He had only attained this realm two months ago!

And this was the true indication that one had stepped into the pinnacle of the pill master level.

When pills began to form spirits, these would combine to form spiritual beasts. Once the pills were refined, the Pill Spirit will escape!

Could it be that a teenager, who looked slightly haggard... had already attained such a stage?

Is he even stronger than me? And I have a saint’s legacy in hand...

Chu Yu’s eyes were fixated on Song Binbin, waves of emotions building up in his chest, This kid... could he be an incredible pill refining talent? If he is, then regardless of the price... I must get him on my side!

However, when he looked at the attractive lady, Chu Yu realized that she looked at the boy the same way. Chu Yu smiled bitterly to himself.

She knows too!

It doesn’t seem likely that I’ll be able to snatch this boy away from her...

Limitless - Chapter 183: Another Round of Unorthodox Refinement

Watching the teenager refine pills was breathtaking. She controlled the furnace with one hand and stunned the crowd.

All of their eyes were on her.

With so much attention on her, she wasn’t at all nervous.

She extended her hands into the sky and picked out the medicine necessary to refine the Will of Heaven Pill from the long table.

All of the medicine hovered in the air in a neat line.

This technique stunned countless people!

Many of the students, and even teachers, from the Purple Cloud School were stunned. They had their suspicions, Is this really not one of the top students from their Pill Refining Section?

The teenager deliberately and calculatedly placed each medicine into the levitating pill furnace.

Upon closer inspection, beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead as she concentrated.

It was clear that she wasn’t as composed and elegant as she wanted to seem. These techniques were a strain on her.

"Aiya, not bad." Bi Yueyue smiled and praised her. Then, she also extended her hand and a large amount of medicine flew into the air and towards her pill furnace.

With a wave of her hand, she raised the lid and threw all the medicine in like dumplings...

It was just like how Wang Yan had refined her pills!

But with more viciousness!

Even though Bi Yueyue did not use the Furnace Control Technique, her actions revealed that she could do it too!

It was all a matter of choice!

At this point, even the Principal of the Purple Cloud School was stunned.

If he was to report back to Liu Fenghui now, he would tell him that he has finally realized the value of Sensei Song.

Sensei Song… was a miracle worker!

Bi Yueyue also refined her pills in a seemingly messy and unorderly manner, but she was calm and composed.

The teenaged girl on the other hand was breaking out in sweat after using the Furnace Control technique.

To the pill refiners who were Pill Master or better, this seemingly unorderly method was no problem, but it tested one’s fine motor skills.

These skills were not visible to others.

It all happened inside the pill furnace!

Before this, no one would have believed that a student from the Purple Cloud School dared to refine pills using this method.

However, they had no choice but to believe it now!

Bi Yueyue was extremely focused as she refined her pills. Even though she started slightly later than the teenager, she was still very composed.

Her hands formed various shapes in the air as she controlled the fire. The fire burned brighter and gentler with her commands.

At the same time, the pill furnace came to live in her hands, changing its angle and position every now and then.

To put it in crude terms, a pill refiner was quite similar to a chef in some aspects.

A chef needs to have mastery over the stove and his utensils.

By changing the position of the pill furnace, the pill refiner was also perfecting the pills he/she was refining!

Then, when they looked at the beautiful teen, they saw her tiring. Furnace Controlling over an extended period of time had consumed much of her energy. Even though she was in the King’s Realm and was more powerful than Bi Yueyue, it still took a toll on her.

Many from the Wafting Fragrance School began to feel anxious.

They were keenly aware that the girl was doing this to stun her opponent and suffocate her opponent with overwhelming grandeur.

Little did she expect that her opponent was not falling for it!

In the end, the teen was a victim of her own trap and she could not stop now.

No matter how great one was at Furnace Control or Firebending, no matter how beautiful the actions were, what mattered… was still the pills.

The teen felt that she may have bitten off more than she could chew!

Seeing her opponents composure stressed her out quite a bit.

Once such pressure built up, it was difficult to ignore.

She was already struggling slightly, and the pressure caused her to struggle even more.

On the other hand, Bi Yueyue was completely in control!

She looked like a heroine, every move deliberate and steady.

This was something that Chu Yu had emphasized over the past few months!

You can lose, but you cannot be intimidated!

What’s there to panic about pill refining? It’s not like it’s grave robbing?

Who are you shivering for? Is the pill you’re refining a rat pil?

These were statements that Chu Yu had used ad nauseum.

Initially, these girls did not like to hear such words, but over time, they’ve come to appreciate its meaning.

Only when they stepped into the arena did these girls truly understand the wisdom behind sensei’s words.

Ignore the challenges of your opponent, and do not fear the strength of your opponent. You are unique, and yourself....

That was it.

Bi Yueyue twisted her arms and the pill furnace, surrounded by fire, kept changing its angle.

Finally, when it was the last step… the pill forming stage, Bi Yueyue harnessed all her concentration and combined sensei’s Pill Combining technique with her Pill Shaping technique.

The Will of Heaven Pill was not easy to refine, and those who could refine this pill in the Song Country were few and far between.

Even though the ingredients to refine such a pill were not expensive, the price for this pill was astronomical. There were simply too little people who could refine this ill.

Chu Yu could feel the passionate gazes of the leadership of the school, not towards him, but towards the girls!

If all of the 12 girls could refine such superior pills, then the Purple Cloud School could use the points accumulated by the Pill Refining Section to climb up the ranks and become a superior institution.

Furthermore… they could reap tangible benefits from this too!

This was a vast cultivation world and almost everyone life form was cultivating.

As such, pills were always in high demand.

These 12 girls could bring in great revenue for the Purple Cloud School!

They could be self-financing!

Right now, they had to depend on a large amount of support from the Purple Cloud Constabulary.

　

This was a business owned by the Purple Cloud Constabulary but they had to finance it every year.

Even though the Principal was an elder in the Purple Cloud School, he still hoped that the Purple Cloud School could be autonomous.

This was not ambition, anyone would wish the same too.

Right now, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.

As for Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan, he had been blinded by his jealousy with regard to Liu Yuyan. However, now that he saw the light, cold sweat broke out all over his forehead.

Liu Yuyan sat in a very unassuming corner. Around her were several youths who kept a low profile but were clearly of high status.

These people were the princes and princesses who had snuck out from the palace!

They were childhood friends and talked about everything.

Surrounding them was a special zone that was created by magical equipment from the royal family. This ensured that they were the only ones who could hear each other and no one could eavesdrop.

Prince Song Qi was shocked, "That handsome, animalistic youth is the Sensei Song who saved you? This man is extremely capable! He managed to get the Pill Refining Section in shape in such a short time? Even if it’s just the two disciples, it is sufficient to stun the world! Their standard… is probably no worse than those advanced level pill refiners?"

Princess Song Yu looked at Chu Yu, captivated, "How charming, and he’s so handsome! Yuyan ah… do you want this man? If you don’t, I’m going after him…"

Liu Yuyan stared at her, "Don’t talk rubbish…"

"Aiyo, our Yuyan’s heart has been moved! Song Qi, are you jealous?" Song Yu chuckled.

Song Qi looked at her in exasperation, "Sister, enough, you know how bad you’ve been as a matchmaker… you’ve been trying to matchmake us since young, but we are like siblings!"

Many of those on scene could not help but laugh out loud, even Liu Yuyan smiled.

Song Yu rolled her eyes, then chuckled. However, when she looked at Chu Yu, sparks could be seen in her eyes.

It was obvious that the attitudes of all the spectators had changed since arriving.

Previously, they had thought that the Purple Cloud School did not stand a chance and had come to see the superiority of the Wafting Fragrance School.

Now, they were admiring the poise of their own school and enjoying how they were wrecking students from a better school...

This feeling was so different!

Many of the students from the Purple Cloud remained silent because pill refining required concentration.

However, their excitement and anticipation was impossible to suppress.

Over in the other camp, the hundred odd Wafting Fragrance School teachers and students were silent.

Their arrogant and confident smiles were gone.

Even though the second round was not over yet, they seemed to have predicted the results.

Is this really the worst section in an unranked school?

This joke… was overboard.

If this wasn’t a joke, all they could say was the leadership of this school… was all blind!

At this point, Bi Yueyue had kept her refining fire and let out a long sigh.

The Will of Heaven Pill was no small challenge for her.

However, thanks to sensei’s teaching, she managed to face any challenge with composure. She could not see what the pills looked like, but she knew she had succeeded!

She pulled a chair and sat down. She rested her chins on her hands and looked at the sweet teenage, unblinking.

Professional etiquette dictated that she could not speak and distract her opponent, but nowhere did it say that she couldn’t look, right?

Afterall, everyone is looking at her, what difference would my stare make?

What she didn’t know was that her stare was giving this teenager lethal pressure!

In the end, even though she was still controlling the furnace, her actions were basically all off.

Furthermore, Bi Yueyue’s stare… made things even worse.

That elegant demeanour suddenly fell apart and the refining fire swallowed the entire pill furnace.

The entire arena was shocked.

Anyone with experience in pill refining knew that this cauldron of pills were gone!

　　

Wa!

The girl had never embarrassed herself in front of so many people and she burst into tears.

　

Bi Yueyue sprinted over and cuddled her, comforting her with choice words and a soothing voice.

No one really knew what she was saying, but she half carried, half supported this beautiful teen off the stage and disappeared!

Disappeared...

Disappeared?

Disappeared!

What is this?

Everyone was stupefied.

Could it be that this girl was serious all along? Is she here to compete or find a girlfriend?

The Principal of the Purple Cloud coughed and said, "Let’s take a look at the result…"

The lady sighed and nodded, "We have lost this round, but I would like to see how perfect the pills refined by a disciple of such a great sensei are."

Her words did not have any trace of condescension, mocking or suspicion. It was filled with a calm acceptance, and slight regret.

The Principal walked to Bi Yueyue’s pill furnace and sighed.

He had thought that this girl had repented, but he didn’t know that he was just being naive.

When he opened the lid… a wave of medicinal aroma gushed out!

The Principal jumped and looked in. When he did so, all the disappointment he felt towards Bi Yueyue vanished in an instant!

Limitless - Chapter 182: Will of Heaven Pill

The veiled lady was rooted to the ground, her expression filled with disbelief.

In her eyes, Lu TIanxiang was a determined and passionate youth, her fiance!

Why would he do such a thing?

He tried to assassinate someone just because his family did something wrong?

No, that was not like him!

This little girl must be lying!

"Are you… telling the truth?" She looked at Bi Yueyue, her eyes cold and her suppressive aura radiating subtly.

This was a youthful Heaven’s Pride talent. Her cultivation level was high, and she was already in the Supreme Realm.

Her suppressive aura was very terrifying for a Xiantian cultivator like Bi Yueyue.

"Heaven is my witness! Every word is true!" Bi Yueyue was extremely alluring, her two ponytails were now one, and her expression was innocent whilst her eyes filled with fury.

No one would think that this obedient girl was lying.

If the lady knew of their past, she would have thought that they were lying.

But, she didn’t know the history!

No matter how much Sun Zhangshan had plotted and planned, he never thought about this.

The veiled lady swayed for a moment and murmured, "Could it be… that I was wrong?"

"Of course you were wrong!" Yuwen Xiaoxiao stood out. She was tall and she stared at the veiled lady, ignoring all the powers around her.

She said coldly, "We had found it strange that a top 100 school would try to humiliate us like that when we had no feud with you. Of course, you can’t humiliate us!"

Yuwen Xiaoxiao’s words had embarrassed many of the Wafting Fragrance members, but they didn’t retaliate.

On one hand, they were stunned at Wang Yan’s ability. This was the first time they had seen such a method for refining pills. On the other hand, they finally understood why they had come to such a lowly school.

It was for a personal vendetta!

If the lady had told them the reason, they may not have felt this bad.

However, they didn’t know!

Yuwen Xiaoxiao looked at the group and said, "Now we understand that it is because of this. Something that you are already in the wrong for, yet you are so bold in your retaliation, how admirable. No wonder you are a top 100 school!"

The lady gasped, then looked at Chu Yu, "Was Lu Tianxiang really not killed by you?"

Chu Yu glanced at her, "So what if he was, so what… if he wasn’t?"

The lady bowed to her own people, "I am sorry, I did not give this situation due consideration and took advantage of you all. I apologize. When we return to the school, I will report this upwards. I will accept any punishment."

Then, she looked at the leadership of the Purple Cloud School and bowed, "My willfulness has also implicated the Purple Cloud School. When I return, I will explain the situation. I owe the Purple Cloud."

Everyone in the arena, countless Purple Cloud School members, as well as the opinionated Wafting Fragrance School members went silent.

The lady looked at Chu Yu and whispered, "No matter what, he was my fiance. Even if he was wrong, as he fiancee, I must avenge him. I hope you can understand."

At this point, Chu Yu’s opinion of this lady changed. No matter what, anyone who is willing to face their emotions deserves respect.

"Okay, since you’ve said so, let’s do this. Take it as your fiance died by my hand. After this, regardless of victory or defeat, we will bury the hatchet." Chu Yu replied.

Bi Yueyue stood by the side, her eyes red. The other girls were also touched by the gesture.

They knew that their Sensei could deny all the way and have all the pressure fall on the Bi Clan.

When facing a monster like the Wafting Cloud Sect, even if it is just one of the elders, was not something they wanted.

Now that Chu Yu took it upon himself, he was effectively putting all the pressure on himself.

Sensei had already saved my mother, now he is also taking the brunt of a feud caused by my family...

"Sensei…" Bi Yueyue could not help but choke slightly.

"It’s okay." Chu Yu comforted her.

The lady looked at Chu Yu deeply, "Okay, I promise you, regardless of victory or defeat, this will end today. No matter what, I will make sure the Lu Clan doesn’t do anything funny."

Chu Yu smiled, "Then, shall we compete? Or should we continue letting the students compete?"

The lady had seen the abilities of the Purple Cloud School Pill Refining Section Students. They were extremely good, both at speaking and at refining pills. Furthermore, she already felt guilty for bringing so many of the teachers and students over.

Now that the truth was out, she did not want the people of the Wafting Fragrance School to have an even worse impression of her.

She sighed inside and wanted to reject.

At this point, a student from the Wafting Fragrance School stepped out.

"I am willing to continue to compete in order to protect the honor of our school!"

"Exactly, I am willing to compete with them!"

The lady hesitated. She thought to herself, Protect the honor of the school? But what if… we continue to lose, won’t it be even more embarrassing?

But she didn’t say it aloud.

Many of the Wafting Fragrance School teachers also suppressed the emotions. It was clear that they wanted to continue competing!

They were not happy with this result!

They were against an insignificant school. Furthermore, their research had told them the Pill Refining Section was the worst of the worst!

They were completely trash!

Everyone had the same expression when talking about the Purple Cloud School Pill Refining Section.

Twitching lips, condescension, surprise… surprise that people actually know of the section?

When they arrived, they could also feel this air of disdain towards the Pill Refining Section.

Even amongst the Purple Cloud students, no one thought that their Pill Refining Section would come out victorious.

Under such circumstances, a handsome, animalistic and manically arrogant sensei had led his 12 disciples to a clean win in the first round! noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

It was a clear victory!

A comprehensive victory!

It was flawless!

Seeing the reactions of the Purple Cloud School teachers and students did not make them feel inferior.

The people from the Wafting Fragrance School felt like they just f*cked a dog.

You don’t even know your own Pill Refining Section.

Everyone from top to bottom… thought that they had no abilities!

Damn, how vicious, did you even lie to yourselves?

As such, they were unwilling to accept the result. They did not believe that the Pill Refining Section was so strong. It could just be that one of them was strong, whilst the others… were all weak.

Else, this would be too ridiculous!

As such, they must continue competing!

The competition must continue!

The Wafting Fragrance School sent a teenage girl to partake in the second round.

This girl was sweet and looked obedient. Her eyes spoke volumes and she smiled at everybody.

After taking the stage, the girl was humble and courteous.

She said that she liked to refine pills and had learnt some skills from her family for a few years.

However, no one from the Purple Cloud School believed her.

Just a few years?

It could be that she was just like Du Zeyu, someone who had a relatively high standard in pill refining.

However, her attitude had won over some of the Purple Cloud School teachers and students.

Whether she was being hypocritical was secondary, at least she seemed humble.

Over on the side of the Pill Refining Section, Yuwen Xiaoxiao glanced at Chu Yu, "Old Song, I think the opponent is not simple…"

Chu Yu said, "Let Yueyue go."

Yuwen Xiaoxiao, "..."

Chu Yu glanced at her, "You are here to hold the fort."

Yuwen Xiaoxiao smiled and turned to Bi Yueyue, "Don’t lose…"

Bi Yueyue’s mouth twitched, "I will guard the honor and reputation of the Pill Refining Section with my life!"

Then, she raised her head and puffed her chest as she walked on stage. She retrieved her pill furnace carved with a rat and looked at the pretty girl, "Hi, lady, what shall we compete in?"

Bi Yueyue looked extremely refined and looked very innocent, but her way of speaking was still crude.

The pretty girl’s face flushed and she said shyly, "You choose…"

"I choose? Then won’t I be bullying you?" Bi Yueyue’s eyes widened, "Don’t procrastinate, miss, how about you leave me your contact? I know a place…"

The Purple Cloud School’s leadership’s faces all turned black, Oh great, there goes our reputation.

On the other hand, Chu Yu was expressionless, completely unmoved by Bi Yueyue’s words.

There wasn’t much a reaction from the Wafting Fragrance School either.

Anyone with sufficient confidence in themselves wouldn’t care about how others looked at them.

The sweet girl said weakly, "Then, let us refine the Will of Heaven Pill, that’s the one I am best at."

　　

Hiss!

Everyone in the arena gasped.

Anyone who had heard of this pill was completely stunned.

They looked at the sweet lady on stage in disbelief.

"She knows how to refine a Will of Heaven Pill at such a young age?"

"Are you for real? Will of Heaven Pill… isn’t that something that only pill masters can refine?"

"Even a powerful advanced level pill refiner does not have a high chance of success."

"What do you mean by ‘not a high chance’, it’s extremely low okay?"

The Will of Heaven Pill is a pill that only people in the Supreme Realm and above used. It was used when breaking through. It could calm the spirits and resist the demons in the heart.

Normally, in order to refine the Will of Heaven Pill, one needed to attain the level of Pill Master.

The fact that this young lady wanted to compete through refining the Will of Heaven Pill was unexpected.

Bi Yueyue stiffened slightly, but nodded, smiling, "Okay, then let’s refine the Will of Heaven Pill!"

She looked at the teenage, "Shall we begin?"

The teenage nodded and retrieved a dainty pill furnace. Then, with the point of her finger… the pill furnace suspended in mid air and a refining fire appeared underneath it.

Furnace Control!

Everyone was shocked once again.

Many looked at Bi Yueyue with sympathy.

How is this someone who has just learnt pill refining for a few years? This was clearly a pill refining talent!

This was a teenager who already possessed the powers of a pill master.

Ordinarily, refining the Will of Heaven Pill and Furnace Control were things that only a Pill Master could do.

Even if Bi Yueyue had similar abilities to Wang Yan… what could she do in the face of such a talented opponent?

Limitless - Chapter 181: Bi Yueyue's Outburst!

Du Zeyu felt as if he had eaten a fly. This slim and beautiful girl is so frustrating!

Her words are enough to choke anyone to death.

"Do you talk to your parents…"

Du Zeyu was interrupted by Wang Yan before he could finish.

"You’re no one to me, stop beating around the bush, are you unwilling to open your lid because you’re afraid to lose?"

Du Zeyu was furious. In his rage, he lifted his lid, revealing 24 pills in neat arrangement.

They were of equal size and each one was round and shiny, filled with engravings.

To be honest, he was a very powerful pill refiner, well into the advanced levels. His pills would draw praise from other advanced level pill refiners.

There were some people of decent pill refining ability in the Purple Cloud School. When they saw this, they turned ashen.

They thought they were bound to lose.

Why is there no judge? If it is truly a competition between advanced level pill refiners, then a pill master or a guru is required for judging.

However, the best of the students were only advanced level pill refiners.

However, they were all cultivators. Even though they do not know how to refine pills, they could tell a pill’s quality just by looking.

As such, there was no need for a judge.

A couple of people from the Wafting Fragrance School walked up.

They glanced at it, smiled, and prepared to walk off the stage.

"Ay…"

One of the elders in the Purple Cloud School sighed and shook his head, ready to admit defeat.

At this point, Wang Yan frowned and said, "Aish, are you all ill?"

She directed this at everyone.

She was also scolding the Purple Cloud elder.

The elder from the Purple Cloud School stiffened and frowned. He knew this girl’s temper and character, so he didn’t think much of it. He said solemnly, "It is good not to admit defeat, but are you sure your pills are better?"

One of the teachers from the Wafting Cloud School smiled, "I think the elder is wise, little girl, don’t be stubborn, if not your embarrassment will be greater."

"Is your brain damaged?" Wang Yan glared at him and puffed her chest. Her eyes glimmered, "How do you know that I am just being stubborn? Do you have the ability to see my pills? Or are you a Pill Master and a saint… and can tell that my pills can’t make it from my technique?"

The Wafting Fragrance School teacher fumed and smiled sinisterly, "Sure, sure, open your lid and show us your incredible pills!"

Wang Yan laughed icily, "Prepare a resuscitation pill, I’m afraid you’ll die from shock!"

Many in the Purple Cloud School burst out in laughter.

They were all incredibly nervous and did not dare to pin their hopes on Wang Yan, but still, they hoped for a miracle.

Wang Yan waved her hand and the lid of the pill furnace flew into the air.

Many people squinted in disbelief.

Furnace control?

"She’s controlling the furnace!"

"That’s not easy!"

"Maybe we have a chance…"

Furnace control was a technique much harder than fire control.

Usually, only a few advanced level pill refiners could grasp this technique. By doing so, they could levitate the furnace and have it roll in the air, making the pills better and more refined.

Generally, Furnace Control was only seen in pill masters.

One’s pill refining techniques became more and more powerful as they progressed.

When one attained the level of Guru, they need not use the pill furnace. They could use space as the furnace and energy as fire to refine pills.

When they attained the levels of Pill King or even Saint, then they could smelt the entire galaxy!

Even though Wang Yan was not controlling the furnace whilst refining, her ability to use the Furnace Control technique was stunning.

Afterwhich, everyone looked into Wang Yan’s pill furnace.

Audible gasps could be heard.

The Wafting Fragrance School teachers walked over hesitantly.

After they looked into the furnace, they were all stunned.

One of them exclaimed in awe, "How is this possible?"

Du Zeyu, who was immensely confident, could not help but look over. After a single glance, his face turned ashen.

"I lost…"

He said bitterly.

The entire arena went silent!

Then, cheers and whoops echoed out.

This was honor and victory!

Even though they usually mocked their own Pill Refining Section, they did not like it when others mocked one of their own.

As such, most of the Purple Cloud students did not care how Wang Yan won.

As long as she did, they were happy and proud!

Wang Yan’s pills were arranged in a square.

Six by six!

For a total of 36 Burst Pills!

Each one was similar in size, smooth and shiny, and the engravings were like an exquisite painting.

A single glance would tell you that these pills were of better quality than Du Zeyu!

And she had 36 of them!

The ability to refine 36 pills placed her at the pinnacle of the advanced level for pill refining!

A teenager had used such crude techniques, throwing the medicine into the furnace without thought, who would have thought… she had managed to reach the pinnacle of the advanced level for pill refining!

Could anything be more stunning?

Even the Purple Cloud School Principal walked over and studied the pills. Then he smiled at the Wafting Cloud School, "The first round… goes to us, any objection?"

The lady with a veil was solemn as she nodded, "Nope."

He did not need to look, all he needed to do was see the expressions of his own people.

The Principal then said, "One more thing, our Pill Refining Section has always valued quality over quantity."

The people of the Purple Cloud could not help but criticize that statement in their hearts. Principal, is that really what you think?

The Principal could not care less, "We only have 12 people, how many rounds do we need to compete?"

Just as the Wafting Fragrance School youth was about to open his mouth, the lady beside him said flatly, "Three rounds, and one between the sensei."

Chu Yu’s heart leapt. He could feel that the lady had a strong sense of hostility towards him.

Even though there was no clear indication, Chu Yu could feel it.

With his vertical eye, Chu Yu’s senses were far better than his contemporaries.

This should be it!

This girl is probably related to the deceased Lu Tianxiang… somehow!

A couple?

Chu Yu did not think much about it because it was pointless to be so calculative now

The Principal did not expect the lady to be so decisive and request for only three rounds with a loss in the first one.

Could it be that she didn’t even care about the results between the students.

The Principal’s heart leapt and thought about many things in that instant. Then he laughed, "The students should interact, then between the sensei… I think it isn’t necessary?

It must be admitted that the older one gets, the wise he is.

Even though the Principal was not privy to the details, he found that something was amiss.

To be honest, the fact that the Wafting Fragrance School challenged the Purple Cloud was cause for suspicion, their targeting of the Pill Refining Section even more so.

The veiled lady’s voice was icy and even mocking, "You all don’t have to guess, I can tell you the truth. The reply all depends on whether Song Hong is a man or not."

Chu Yu looked at the lady silently.

The Principal frowned and said, "Tell us!"

As an elder in the Purple Cloud Constabulary, as well as the Principal of the Purple Cloud School, he was relatively powerful and could hold his own.

The lady stood up and tore of her veil, revealing her exquisite but definitely not beautiful face.

Her skin was white, her brows thin and her face slim. Her eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Chu Yu, "Did my fiance Lu Tianxiang die in your hands?"

Who is Lu Tianxiang?

Everyone in the arena was lost.

But the faces of Zhao Kai, Chu Yu, and the twelve students changed instantly.

The Wafting Fragrance School, Lu Tianxiang… ah it all makes sense!

All of a sudden, Bi Yueyue rushed out and looked at this lady coldly, "Lu Tianxiang is your fiance? I know him, in fact, I even have to call him my brother. But, no longer!"

Even though one should not air dirty laundry in public, Bi Yueyue could not care anymore now, she could not let her sensei be in any danger.

Regardless whether it was because sensei saved her mother, or because she liked sensei, she would not let anyone bully sensei.

She recounted the entire incident about how the Lu Family had tried to harm her mother. The entire arena fell silent, then exploded into chatter.

The Mirror World was quite reflective of ancient China.

It is very normal for a male to have many wives, but it was rare to see a concubine trying to kill off the wife.

Such news was sensational!

If every concubine in the world did this, won’t there be chaos?

"That’s too much!"

"How can this happen!"

"Is that true? Concubine trying to harm the wife? Is that exaggerated?"

"By the looks of it, this is all true."

Everyone burst out in chatter, many of the Wafting Fragrance students were also stunned, unable to believe that there was such an incident.

They all looked to the veil lady. They felt like they were being used!

Even though she is the daughter of an elder, can she use people like that?

In the end, Bi Yueyue looked icily at the lady, "That night, someone did try to assassinate Sensei, and the experts from my family went to rescue him. Sensei was heavily injured when he returned, and there were many witnesses who saw this! I do not know which jerk told you that my Sensei had killed your fiance. But even if he did, your fiance had it coming! How can it be that he can kill but not be killed? What kind of logic is that? Or do you think that it is just because the Wafting Fragrance School is big and powerful? You’re just ranked 96, not a top 10 ancient school! Do you need to be so arrogant?"

Bi Yueyue’s sudden outburst silenced the entire arena.

Even the extremely arrogant Wafting Fragrance School teachers and students were embarrassed.

This girl makes sense!

As for Vice Principal Sun Zhangshan, his expression was awful.

This girl was so vicious in her chiding!

When he had contacted the Wafting Fragrance School, he had tried to cover up his identity, but it could still be found.

The Principal seemed to have suspected it, but didn’t have enough evidence just yet.

Now that Bi Yueyue had such an outburst, this incident was way out of control.

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 147: Can I Learn From You?

"Ah? Spear... Spear Intent?"

Wang Chong's body swayed and he nearly fainted.

Are you for real?

How can you display Spear Intent? Furthermore, such a pure Spear Intent!

He was astonished. Noticing Zhang Xuan's embarrassed look, he nearly threw up blood.

Embarrassed? Embarrassed your head!

Brother, can you not fool others like that? Didn't you say that you never learned the way of the spear? Didn't you say that you didn't know what spear arts were?

I have started learning the way of the spear since eight and I had spent forty years since then dedicating my life to it. Even so, I am still a long way from achieving Spear Intent... Can you explain to me roughly, what is with that overwhelming Spear Intent of yours?

Didn't you say that you do not know what Spear Intent is? Then what in the world is this?

Tears streamed down Wang Cong’s face.

You shouldn't play with someone like that!

It was laughable that he had reprimanded the other party so brazenly earlier on, saying that he wouldn't understand it even if he explained it noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Where did this self-confidence come from?

Or rather, the one who didn't understand was he himself...

He hated the fact that there wasn't a hole here for him to dive into.

"This is Spear Intent?"

Ouyang Cheng was stunned.

Right after displaying a moment of Spear Intent, his old friend was already sweating profusely and panting for air, as though he had been constipated for a few days straight. Yet, this fellow was able to execute it easily as and when he liked, as though it were merely eating and drinking…

Are you the spear master, or Wang Chong is?

"You... Didn't you say that you have never learned about spears?"

Overwhelmed with shock, Ouyang Cheng asked. Wang Chong also hurriedly shifted his attention to hear how the other party would explain it.

"It is true that I haven't learned it before!" Zhang Xuan replied truthfully.

"If you have never learned it before, how can you have such a powerful Spear Intent?" Wang Chong was about to go mad.

If you were able to display such powerful Spear Intent without any prior experience, given my achievement despite how I have spent my life immersing myself in the art, I must have been spending my time on learning nonsense...

"Oh, I was just reading the books in the study and an epiphany struck me. I realized that executing spear art in this form felt the most comfortable, so I got into the form. I didn't know that this is Spear Intent!"

Zhang Xuan said after a short moment of contemplation.

Zhang Xuan wasn't trying to feign ignorance. Rather, the books in the study were truly only about the very basics of spearmanship, so there wasn't a single one that detailed Spear Intent. He only happened to grow such a disposition due to the Heaven's Path Spear Art formed through these books.

As for how Spear Intent could be used and how useful it was to a spear wielder, he had no idea at all.

Wang Chong's tears continued streaming down his face.

You described it as though it were as easy as eating and drinking, do you know how much effort I have put into the matter, only to fail time and time again?

For the past decade, I had been building my mental fortitude, entering desolate lands, overcoming the frost and withstanding the heat. Even so, I have yet to succeed. Yet, you simply came to the study, read some books and unintentionally... managed to reach such a level!

My heart! My liver! My youth!

If there were a huge pit before him, he would have definitely jumped in to bury himself alive.

Can you not destroy my confidence like that?

If you said that you had put in a lot of effort, trained daily and simply happened to achieve a breakthrough, I would feel a little better. But you have only spent two hours reading through books, and... and yet you have already achieved a breakthrough...

Furthermore, what you were reading weren't profound secret manuals. They were just elementary books on spearmanship...

If word were to spread out, all spear masters in the capital would definitely die from shame.

"Wang Chong, humans aren't born with equal talents. Perhaps, Apothecary Zhang... may truly be gifted in the way of the spear!" Seeing his despondent old friend who had been struck a heavy blow, Ouyang Cheng tried to console him.

"Alright, I can only take it as that!"

As expected of an expert spear practitioner, he had already forged his will to become as resilient as steel. Even though he was dispirited, he soon readjusted his mental state. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a young man's perplexed voice echo in the air.

"You say that I have comprehended Spear Intent, but what does Spear Intent do?"

Wang Chong's staggered once more. Enduring his crumbling heart, he explained, "Spear Intent refers to one's understanding of the spear; reaching Spear Intent means that the spear has already become an extension of the practitioner’s arms. Under such a state, any movement he makes can be considered as a spear art. This is something that can only be achieved when one reaches the pinnacle of spearmanship!"

"Any movement made can be considered as spear art?" Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up. "Great! If my student can comprehend Spear Intent, he would be able to achieve victory in the Freshmen Tournament!"

Since Spear Intent is that formidable, Zhang Xuan decided to give Zheng Yang a good lesson when he returned. As long as he is able to achieve such a state, even if he didn't possess profound spear arts in his arsenal, it is unlikely for him to lose to his opponent.

"You want to help your student comprehend it as well?" Wang Chong trembled.

Spear Intent is a person's understanding toward the spear. Do you think that everyone is as overpowered as you so as to be able to achieve a breakthrough just by looking at some books?

He wanted to convince the other party to drop the idea, but he didn't know where he should start from.

"Right, I have learned a technique when I was looking through the books earlier back, but I have no idea how powerful it would be. Since Brother Wang is a spear master, can you offer me some pointers?"

Zhang Xuan had no concept of Spear Intent, so he wasn't as shocked as the other party. Recalling the move that the Heaven's Path Library created, he couldn't help but speak up.

The person before him was a renowned spear master in the entire kingdom. He would definitely be able to point out the strengths and weaknesses of the move.

"You even comprehended a technique? Fine, I am also interested to see what kind of move a genius like you is able to comprehend!"

Wang Chong nodded his head and sent a subordinate to fetch a spear over.

Soon, he returned carrying two spears.

"The best way to test the strength of a move is through sparring! Apothecary Zhang, show me the move you have just comprehended!" It was as though Wang Chong had transformed the moment a spear was grasped in his hands. His aura was ferocious, as though a savage ancient beast had awakened from his sleep.

In his view, even though the other party had comprehended Spear Intent, his absolute strength and ability to wield the spear should still be inferior to him. Even if the other party has any special moves, he should be able to handle it with ease.

"Alright!" It just happened that Zhang Xuan wanted to try out his move. Thus, he casually grabbed the other spear.

He had never once grabbed a spear in his life. However, after comprehending Spear Intent, the spear felt like a perfect fit in his hands.

"Let's begin!"

The moment Zhang Xuan felt so, his aura evolved immediately, as though the ordinary young man from before had become a domineering conqueror.

Hu!

Charging forward, his spear shot out explosively from his palms.

This technique was something he created after compiling the essence of thousands of manuals. All of the complexities had been simplified into this one single concise move. The zhenqi in his entire body churned and the spear flew out as though a massive rising from the ocean, soaring into the skies.

"What?"

Initially, he didn't pay much heed to Wang Chong, but upon witnessing the spear piercing straight at him, goosebumps were raised on his body immediately and he was almost scared witless.

The move may look simple, inelegant and even ugly, but it focused all of the cultivator's strength and spirit into a single point. This... This... This was supreme spear art!

Boom!

Without much time to think, Wang Chong's exerted all his strength in one stroke and met Zhang Xuan's blow with one of his own.

Unleashing his full strength, his cultivation realm was also revealed... Fighter 7-dan, Tongxuan realm!

Ding!

The two spears met in the air and a massive shock wave was generated, sending intense gusts to the surroundings.

Deng deng deng deng!

Zhang Xuan retreated seven to eight steps before stopping. On the other hand, Wang Chong was still rooted to his spot.

It was clear who the victor was in the simple face-off.

Zhang Xuan didn't use his full strength. He had limited it to 40 ding and naturally, wouldn't be able to withstand a full strength attack by a Tongxuan realm advanced stage expert.

However, due to the incredible resilience of his body and his pure zhenqi, even though he was forced back, he wasn't injured at all.

"As expected of a spear master, incredible!"

Seeing that the other party had managed to easily deal with a move derived by the Library of Heaven's Path, Zhang Xuan was impressed.

On the other hand, Wang Chong nearly fainted from fear.

The other party's seemingly simple spear art had forced him to execute his trump card. Furthermore... Even though he didn't retreat a single step and it looked as though he had the upper hand, there was a dull pain in his chest and his blood flow had become erratic. He had been wounded considerably in the face-off.

If not for him suppressing forcefully, he would have spurted a mouthful of blood.

No matter what, he was a Tongxuan realm advanced stage expert... For him to be unable to match up to a Pixue realm opponent... It was a difference of an entire cultivation realm between them.

Normally, it would be impossible for one to defeat an opponent who had a higher cultivation realm.

It was hard to tell what he would think if he were to know that the young man before him had only used half of his strength in this face-off.

"This move is truly incredible..."

After taking a long time to adjust his breathing, Wang Chong couldn’t help but compliment.

The move was simply too amazing!

He had always thought that he was a genius, and he had also created quite a few spear techniques. However, compared to this move, they were all trash. The difference between the two was like comparing dirt to gem.

"That's great. I want to impart this move to my student. Can Brother Wang offer me some pointers so that I can improve it?"

Zhang Xuan asked.

"Pointers..." Wang Chong's face flushed.

Apothecary Zhang, are you here to slap my face?

Putting aside the fact that you have achieved Spear Intent and that every single move of yours is a spear art, this move... I can't even comprehend the move, how can I offer you pointers?

Even though he was a spear master, he wasn't able to tell how his opponent executed the move and how the attack came at him... He felt so embarrassed that he could commit suicide.

"This move... has no problems. You can impart it to your student like this!"

After saying those words, Wang Chong's face felt a burning sensation on his face.

An hour ago, he had thought that the young man didn't understand spearmanship, and that he was insulting the way of the spear. But now... He felt that he was the one insulting the way of the spear.

The other party had only read two hours of books, and not only did he comprehend Spear Intent, he had even created such an incredible technique. On the other hand, he had practiced spearmanship for more than forty years, but had only reached such a nonsensical level...

In an instant, he felt blood welling up in his chest, ready to spurt out at any moment.

After the embarrassment, a daring thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

The essence of the other party's technique was to concentrate one's entire strength to one single point. In this aspect, it resembled Spear Intent greatly. If he were to learn the move, he might be able to break through the final barrier obstructing him and achieve Spear Intent.

"Apothecary Zhang, can you... teach me this move?"

After a moment of hesitation, he asked red-faced.

"You wish to learn? Sure, I can teach you!"

After a moment of surprise, Zhang Xuan agreed to his request with a smile.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ouyang Cheng staggered.

Wasn't Zhang Xuan the one who came here today to learn spearmanship from Wang Chong?

How did... their roles... get swapped?
