Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts

Chapter 687

In front of the Seven Treasure Jewel Tower, Long Chen was still a bit befuddled . How had time passed so quickly? There had still been several days, but they had passed in an instant .

He had only just figured out the correct merger process for the Enlightenment Palace Pill, and he hadn't even had a chance to refine it when he was pulled into the finals .

It was still the same arena, but the feeling was different . It felt much more expansive, as the thousand stages had been mostly taken away . Only eighty-nine remained .

There was still a sea of people outside . Because it was the finals, even more people had come . Even martial artists had come to gain experience .

"Hey, what are you pushing for?! Are you blind!?" A white-robed man cursed at a man from the Corrupt path .

Currently, Pill Yang City was filled with countless experts . They had all come to watch the fun, and there were members from both the Righteous and Corrupt paths .

"Do you want to die?!" raged the Corrupt man . If it wasn't forbidden to fight here, he would have already killed this idiot .

"You're the one who wants to die! Do you want to try touching a hair on my head? Tch . " The white-robed man spat on the ground and sneered disdainfully .

"You… just wait! Don't let me see you on the battlefield!" raged the Corrupt man . He found a different place to watch from .

"AHH!"

Suddenly, a woman's sharp cry rang out in the crowd . Everyone turned to see it had come from a Corrupt woman with a drawing of a fiend's head on her chest .

But on that sinister fiend image were two large handprints . Those handprints were extremely clear .

"Bastard, you dare touch me?! I'll kill you!" The Corrupt woman's fury soared, and her sword came out of its sheath . She glared at the man in front of her .

That man had a wronged expression . "You can't blame me! There are too many people and it's too crowded . I was pushed in the chaos, and I just grabbed whatever I could . Speaking of which, I really have to thank you . If it weren't for your large chest, I really would have fallen! Thank you, truly thank you!"

That man hastily bowed, but he still had a lecherous expression on his face . Furthermore, his hands were gesturing as if he were reliving that feeling .

"You… your Righteous path really is a bunch of idiots! All you know how to do is play your stupid plots! Just wait, one day I'll kill you all!" she raged . But she couldn't attack here .

She left, rousing a burst of heckling from the Righteous path . At the same time, many flirtatious calls rang out .

Suddenly, one man was sent flying by a slap in the face . Everyone hastily turned to see a large man cursing at him . "You little fucker, are you blind?! Can you not see that I'm a man? What are you touching my butt for?!"

Long Chen was standing on his stage, looking at the chaotic crowd . He couldn't help shaking his head . The Righteous path really only knew how to play these stupid games . All day, all they did was talk, but when it came to fighting the Corrupt path, they all turned into weaklings .

"Long San, first place is mine . "

The competition hadn't started yet, but everyone had arrived at their positions . Huo Wufang was talking to Long Chen .

Long Chen glanced at him and said, "First place from the bottom? I don't have any interest in that, so you can take it . Speaking of which, that girl Biluo really is not bad . Thank you very much . Do you see her cheering for me over there?"

Huo Wufang followed his gaze and did see Hua Biluo . She was smiling in the crowd . In truth, she wasn't doing anything, but in Huo Wufang's eyes, she had come to cheer for Long Chen .

"That slut! Sooner or later, I'll make you all live a life worse than death!"

"When it comes to sluttiness, can anyone in the world compare to you? You know, yesterday I watched the photographic jade of Long Chen breaking all your bones in the Jiuli secret realm . I really have to admire you! How did you endure all that pain without making a sound? What kind of feeling was that?" asked Long Chen curiously .

Hearing this, Huo Wufang immediately felt a chill in his bones . That pain that Long Chen had given him was forever ingrained in his soul .

As for how he hadn't made a sound back then, that was because he hadn't been able to . That level of pain was something that made a person unable to make a sound .

"Long San, you are looking to die!"

"You're right here, so why would I be looking for more shit? Your words don't have any logic . "

Huo Wufang took a deep breath . He felt like his lungs were about to burst . When it came to playing the game of tongues, Huo Wufang could not be compared to Long Chen . From just a few words, he was about to go berserk .

"The Tower Ancestor has arrived!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out . The crowd split apart as a group of people walked in .

The person at the front was the Tower Ancestor . Behind him was the tower administrator . Other than the two of them, there were also more than ten elders .

Each of those elders had deep wrinkles, their faces almost looking like tree bark . If a mosquito landed on their face, then once they smiled, that mosquito would probably suffocate .

Long Chen had heard from Fang Chang that other than the Tower Ancestor, other proctors from Pill Valley had come for this competition . These proctors were similar to patrolmen . They were old alchemists who had retired, and most likely didn't have much lifespan left . Unable to refine pills anymore, they were sent out to do whatever they wanted until they died .

But these old fellows had followed the Pill Dao their whole lives . Even if they had grown old, their vision was still sharp . If they had come to proctor the competition, then no one could cheat .

The Tower Ancestor and the others stood at the top stage . The entire crowd had gone silent the instant they had arrived, the atmosphere immediately becoming tense . The Tower Ancestor looked over the crowd and nodded .

"The Pill Emperor Competition occurs but once a century . Its goal is to select the finest talent for Pill Valley . In all the previous times, the top ten would all be given the opportunity to continue their studies at Pill Valley .

"But this year is different . That's because in the past few years, Pill Valley has entered a flourishing period, and many geniuses are rising . This time, only the top five will have the qualifications to join Pill Valley . As for the prizes for first, second, and third place, they're distributed the same as always . As for what the prizes are? Hehe, to tell the truth, even I don't know . "

An exquisite golden case appeared in his hand . He placed it on the table before him and said, "The prizes for the top three are right here . " He opened the case, revealing three spatial rings . One was golden, one was silver, and one was bronze .

"I can tell you that the treasures inside these three spatial rings even cause me to be moved . So everyone, do your best!"

After the Tower Ancestor finished speaking, he looked at the tower administrator . The tower administrator pressed a button beside him .

"The pill you'll be refining today is this . "

Long Chen hastily looked down on his platform and saw a line of words appear .

"Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill . "

Long Chen's heart shook . It was actually a sixth tier pill . This was something to be consumed by someone in the Sea Expansion realm .

The Sea Expansion realm's goal was to increase the size of the qi sea, the bigger the better . But a person's ability was limited . Once you reached the Sea Expansion realm, your qi sea would reach a kind of limit, and it would become impossible to further increase its size through your own power .

But this Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill could use medicinal energy to once more expand the qi sea . A Sea Expansion expert could consume nine of them in their lifetime .

These nine times corresponded to once with every Heavenstage . Each time they advanced, they could borrow the medicinal energy to expand their qi sea .

"This… this is impossible!" Some of the competitors were completely dumbfounded . They were only at the Xiantian realm, but they wanted them to refine a sixth tier pill? That was too much . Normally, only Sea Expansion alchemists could refine sixth tier pills .

Most importantly, refining a sixth tier pill was extremely difficult and had harsh requirements toward a person's Spiritual Strength and flame energy . This was something they couldn't possibly achieve .

Even the spectators were stunned . To have Pill Emperors refine sixth tier pills, were they intentionally making it difficult for them?

Long Chen stealthily looked around . Fang Chang and Chai Liehuo both had helpless expressions .

The only woman amongst them, Duan Tianqiao, appeared quite calm . That was a bit unexpected to Long Chen .

As for Huo Wufang, he icily looked over the others . When he saw Long San looking at him, he extended a hand, but then seeming to have thought of something, he quickly pulled it back .

"Hahaha . " This action of Huo Wufang's caused laughter amongst the crowd . They recalled how Long San and Huo Wufang had fought silently before .

Obviously, Huo Wufang had thought of provoking Long San, and then having thought of what had happened last time, he had immediately stopped .

"As Pill Emperors, having you refine sixth tier pills truly is difficult . But don't forget, this is a competition amongst yourselves . We aren't requiring you to refine it to any level . As long as you can condense the pill, you'll have a chance of getting first place, even if you refine a garbage pill," said the Tower Ancestor .

His words caused a wave of relief to spread amongst the competitors . That was very true . The thought going through their minds was: if I can't refine it, the others can't either .

If everyone else failed, then perhaps a garbage pill really might take the first place . They all recovered from their despair .

The Tower Ancestor smiled and then took out a large hourglass . He flipped it over, and the sand began to slowly trickle down .

"You have seventy-two hours to refine the Overflowing Sea Expanding Pill . Let the finals of the Pill Emperor Competition begin!"

Shit sounds similar to die .
