The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1345

…

Two alchemists, and two combatants, are in the arena.

The expression of one of the combatants looks a bit pale as he looks at his enemy.

He is but a petite man with a medium build, but right in front of him is a tall and bulky man showing a shining muscle and a ferocious appearance.

Right at this moment, he knew that he is already dead. This is not a fair fight and from one look it could soon turn into a one-sided beating.

"Alchemist Xin from the Ao family versus Alchemist Don from the Ki clan… get ready!" without further ado the referee has already called out not waiting or even asking for any complaints from the contestants.

The crowd who sees this battle all could see that the fight is actually rigged. No matter how fair the contest might seem to be, they knew that there are still underhanded means used by those clans to deal a blow against their enemies.

Almost everyone in the city has known of the enmity between the Ao and the Xulo. So when they saw what is happening, they could already deduce that this battle is being manipulated by the Xulo clan. The reason for this is that the Ki clan has a close-knit tie with the Xulo clan.

"This is utterly shameless…" Ao Jixo said with an angry face.

But Ao Meixi stopped her uncle from doing anything as she had seen that Xin Ja is not that worried. The confidence in his eyes made her feel calm and knew that he would be the winner in this bout.

As the contest begins, Xin Ja quickly refined and concocted a potion.

Those alchemists that have seen his way of concoction showed a slight sneer on their faces. This is because Xin Ja is just using 1st tier herbs. Even if they close their eyes they could easily refine those herbs.

But those that are seated in the higher position, showed frowns on their faces.

When he finished refining the 1st tier herbs, they all showed astonishment on their faces.

"That… If I'm not wrong, that is almost 100% purity, right?" an elder with white hair and a white robe suddenly said while he stood from his seat.

"I also can see that the color is different… But no matter how high the purity is, it is still a 1st tier herb. It would not be able to defeat his opponent who is using a 3rd tier potion…" the man seated next to him said.

However, the elderly man snorted and sneered. He did not say anything but his eyes have a glint of interest towards Xin Ja.

…

In the arena, the other party has already drunk the potion and could feel his body full of power. However, the pale-looking petite warrior standing near Xin Ja is listening as Xin Ja is telling him something.

The man just nods his head, but then would show panic in his eyes. However, Xin Ja would glare at him and he would look down and then nod.

It was like he is trying to protest but keep on getting reprimanded by Xin Ja.

"What is happening? Why is that man not taking the potion yet?"

"Haha… No matter what he drinks, this battle is already won by that big fellow. How could they fight against the big clans in the city?"

"Those from the Ao family are fools… They should not have offended the Xulo clan…"

The crowd muttered and as Xulo Peng heard their words a sense of contentment and sneer appears on his smug face.

"Do you think you can fight against our clan? In your dream! I will get you no matter what and that servant of yours I will break his limbs and torture him to death…" he muttered with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Calm down Peng'er… Your revenge will happen sooner than you thought." The old man beside him said.

But then the two's conversation was interrupted when someone whispered something to their ears. Then their eyes landed on the opposite arena where the refining is happening.

They could not help but glare as Master Yo was able to pass his refining test at 78% purity.

They could not help but be baffled as they had already tampered with the herb he is refining. They are sure that the refinement would surely fail due to their tampering.

"Master, it seems that the old man is not that simple. It is said that he divided the herb into 3 parts… When he first refined the 1st part, he failed. Then he refined the 2nd part but still failed… but in the 3rd part, he succeeded. It seems that he even refined the… the poison we put in the herb." The servant whispered.

The Grand Elder of the Xulo clan almost smacks his chair as he glared at Master Yo who is smiling at the people around him.

Many are amazed at his ability to refine at 78% purity.

"They might be lucky, but there are more surprises waiting for them… Hehe…" Xulo Peng suddenly said as his sinister gaze went back to Xin Ja.

Then he almost laughs his ass out when he saw the petite fighter getting pummeled to the ground by his enemy.

Everyone in the ring is also jeering at the scene before their eyes.

Then the petite man was sent flying to the edge of the arena.

The man could tell that he is already heavily wounded. He looks at Xin Ja who has his eyes closed and grits his teeth in annoyance.

He did not believe what that brat is saying. But he has no choice this time as he decides to follow the instruction of that young man.

That big brute wanted to take this potion, but he protected it with all his might suffering heavy wounds on his body.

As he opens the potion, he could smell the aroma which made his body immediately feel refreshed. He could even sense his wounds already closing.

He grits his teeth and just smells the potion 3 times then closes its lid. After keeping the potion in his side pouch, he slowly stood up and then feels his body not aching anymore. Plus, he could sense power erupting from his body.

His footsteps became light and he could sense the movement of his enemy.

He truly feels powerful already with just a smell. So he wanted to drink the potion. But Xin Ja told him not to drink it yet. Every time he gets wounded, he should just smell the potion and that is it. His body would surely recover and the pain would go away.

As the man stands up and began to hop around the arena, the crowd suddenly went quiet. They did not know what is happening, but those that knew are now looking at his side pocket.

With just a whiff of the potion, then man has already recovered, so how much more when he drinks it, right?

As the two fighters once again face each other, the petite man has developed his confidence and began dodging his opponent's attacks.

Then suddenly he got a chance and did not hesitate to punch.

His fist squarely hits his opponent's face.

Bam!

The burly man was stunned as he staggered.

The alchemist from the Ki clan was also stunned as he did not expect that the burly man would suffer a hit.

What he concocted is a Regeneration Potion, which will not make the burly man feel fatigued in a fight. That is why no matter how many punches the burly man gives, he did not feel weak.

"Holy cow! What happened? How did this happen? With just a few whiffs, the petite man is already this strong? If he drinks it, then he would surely become stronger, right?" someone from the crowd commented.

The others began to show disbelief as they did not expect to see such a scene.

This time, the burly man became angry as he suddenly charges at the petite man. However, with a simple step to the side, the petite man has already dodged his opponent.

Then he playfully slaps the back of his opponent's head.

Pa!

The burly man staggered and fell to the ground almost falling down the arena.

"Hahaha…"

"He is now able to toy with his enemy… That potion must be very powerful!"

The voice of admiration made the petite man feel confident in fighting with the strong guy.

He even began to challenge the guy.

In his anger, the burly man suddenly charges once again at the petite guy.

As the petite guy dodges to the side, the burly man sneered and quickly grabs him. The burly guy was able to grab the petite man's hand.

Then without hesitation, he waved his arm, and the petite man was dragged and thrown to the ground.

Thud!

The petite guy almost lost his consciousness in that attack.

He did not hesitate this time and quickly grab the potion from his pocket.

But before he could open it, the burly man suddenly appears and takes the potion away from him.

The petite man did not hesitate to stand up and attack the burly man. His speed is really fast, but the burly man just sent him flying with a punch.

With a sneer, he opened the potion bottle and sniffs it.

With just one sniff he could feel his body becoming stronger.

"Hehe… Hahaha… This thing is now mine!" he shouted as he did not hesitate to quickly drink it.

The petite man showed despair once again upon seeing that even the last drop was even licked by the burly man.
