"A Spiritual Fire from the rankings?" Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "I don’t have one."
The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing this. This kid really was just bragging!
But Lin Xuan’s tone suddenly shifted. "Although I don’t have a Spiritual Fire, I do possess an Anomalous Fire."
What? An Anomalous Fire! Everyone was stunned.
At that mont, Song Xingyun, Yu Huatian, Zhao Feiyan, and Qin Xingchen stared at Lin Xuan as if he were an idiot. The expressions of the great alchemy masters turned grim; they felt Lin Xuan was going too far with his increasingly outrageous claims.
What even is an Anomalous Fire? It’s the King of Ten Thousand Flas! A fla that stands above all Spiritual Fires! Even the Pill King of the Great Xia Country doesn’t possess an Anomalous Fire. Mu Shan, the Tower Master of the Pill Tower, doesn’t have one either. Anomalous Fire only exists in myths and legends; it’s sothing to be longed for but never obtained. How could a young boy like Lin Xuan possibly possess one?
Even the three peerless beauties were dumbfounded.
Bai Qianqian frowned and said, "What nonsense is this guy spouting?"
Feng Qingxue covered her face. "Oh dear, his bragging habit is acting up again."
Yu Shiqie, however, said, "Young Master Lin is so handso even when he’s bragging!"
None of them believed Lin Xuan’s words. Not a single person in the entire venue believed him.
Lin Xuan, however, paid them no mind. He extended his right hand, palm facing the sky. He activated the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire within his body, and a ball of fla suddenly erged from his palm, illuminating everything around him.
It was as if a star had shot forth, unleashing a trendous power that swept out in all directions. The very air seed to boil.
Everyone’s bodies trembled. They stared wide-eyed at the blue light in the sky, each one frozen in place.
"What kind of fla is that?"
"It’s too terrifying."
"I feel like I’m about to lt."
"Even from this far away, I can sense a fatal crisis."
"Look! Quick, look at everyone else’s Spiritual Fire!"
Everyone turned to look and was imdiately dumbfounded. They found that the flas held by Zhao Feiyan, Qin Xingchen, and Bing Qing were all leaning in the sa direction—toward Lin Xuan. From a distance, it looked as though courtiers were paying homage to their king.
Not only their flas, but even the top-grade Spiritual Fires in the hands of Yu Huatian and Song Xingyun were submitting.
When the crowd saw this, they all gasped. The scene was simply too shocking.
On the VIP platform, the great alchemy masters were also stunned. Mu Shan exclaid, "When the Anomalous Fire appears, all other flas submit! This boy really does control the legendary Anomalous Fire!"
Mu Shan’s eyes were wide with shock. Fifty years ago, he had witnessed an Anomalous Fire once before. When it had appeared then, all other flas had bowed in submission. Although five decades had passed, that scene was deeply seared into his mory. He never expected to witness the sa scene again fifty years later. And this ti, the one wielding the Anomalous Fire was just a young boy. It was too unbelievable, too shocking.
"Damn it, why is it submitting to him!?" Song Xingyun roared, frantically trying to regain control of his fla, but he found it impossible. His fla knelt toward Lin Xuan. "Damn it!"
On the other side, Yu Huatian’s eyes had turned red. He discovered he could no longer control his Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire.
"Why? Why do you have an Anomalous Fire? Damn it, I don’t believe it!" Yu Huatian roared again and again, even looking like he was about to charge at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan simply glared at him and uttered a single word: "Submit."
With a soft thud, the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire in the sky instantly obeyed. This, in turn, forced Yu Huatian to his knees. Once again, he was kneeling before Lin Xuan.
"You are rely Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire, while I am Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire," Lin Xuan said coldly. "The very origin of spiritual fire. You want to contend with ? Dream on."
Yu Huatian was completely dumbfounded. Lin Xuan’s fla was the origin of the Nine Heavens Spiritual Fire; no wonder it was so terrifying, no wonder it could force his own fla into submission. He now understood why he had knelt before Lin Xuan back at Xuankong Mountain. It turned out that Lin Xuan had already mastered the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire even then. The fla Lin Xuan controlled was akin to the king of all Nine Heavens Spiritual Fires. In front of him, he was just a subject with no power to resist.
He knelt! The man in the black robe knelt!
The people in the surrounding crowd all cried out in shock when they saw this. This man in black robes was from Liuyun Country, and he had co with the intent to sha their Great Xia Country. He had driven them to nervousness and despair. But now, such a formidable figure was actually kneeling before Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan was truly incredible!
"Young Master Lin is mighty!"
"Young Master Lin, you’re so handso!"
"The Young Pill King! Young Master Lin, you are the true Young Pill King!"
The martial artists in the audience cheered with wild excitent. They realized that a huge crisis had just been resolved. Lin Xuan had single-handedly and effortlessly turned the tide, safeguarding the honor of the Great Xia Country! They chanted Lin Xuan’s na in a wave of excited cheers.
"That kid really has an Anomalous Fire!" Bai Qianqian said, shocked.
Feng Qingxue was astonished.
Yu Shiqie just smiled. "Young Master Lin is certainly handso."
The three of them once again started cheering for Lin Xuan.
He really has mastered an Anomalous Fire, Zhao Feiyan was thunderstruck. Previously, when Lin Xuan had claid to possess one, she hadn’t believed him at all, thinking he was an idiot. Now it seed she was the real idiot. Everything Lin Xuan had said was true.
How could this be? Qin Xingchen was also dumbfounded, his body trembling with fear.
As for the other Pill Masters, their faces were filled with awe. In front of Lin Xuan, they couldn’t even control their own flas, let alone practice alchemy.
In the audience, Sun Tian was also dumbfounded by the scene. Lin Xuan had even mastered the legendary Anomalous Fire. He was far too powerful, a being who stood high above the rest. Sun Tian no longer dared to entertain any thoughts of revenge.
"Hahahaha, excellent!" Mu Shan suddenly burst out laughing. With the crisis averted, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. The more he looked at Lin Xuan, the more delighted he beca. "The third round has already begun. You may all start your alchemy."
Hearing this, no one moved. Lin Xuan, however, took action.
He directed the Anomalous Fire into his Alchemy Furnace, took out nurous Spirit dicines from his Storage Ring, and began refining an elixir. The other contestants could only smile wryly. Their Spiritual Fires were still in a state of submission, making it impossible for them to perform alchemy. It looked like they could only wait for Lin Xuan to finish and retract his fla before they would get their chance.
A strange scene unfolded. Everyone present, whether in the audience, the VIP seats, or the genius alchemists on the field, all stared blankly at Lin Xuan. With a flick of his fingers, he controlled the Anomalous Fire and began his refinent.
He was, of course, refining a third-grade elixir: the Clear Spirit Pill.
This was the most common third-grade elixir. In fact, it was the very elixir required to pass the examination for a third-grade Pill Master. Successfully refining it would prove that one had reached the level of a third-grade Pill Master.
The crowd was in an uproar, shocked that Lin Xuan would attempt to refine a third-grade elixir. The audience mbers were imnsely excited.
In the VIP seats, however, the elder masters frowned. Could he be pushing himself too far? Even though Lin Xuan possesses an Anomalous Fire, he’s still too young, only sixteen years old. And he just beca a second-grade Pill Master. Refining a third-grade elixir under these circumstances is next to impossible.
Song Xingyun, who had all but lost hope, grew excited at this scene. Hahaha, this kid is too arrogant! He actually dares to refine a third-grade elixir! There’s no way he can succeed. If he fails, I’ll have a chance to turn this defeat into a victory! Hmph! Lin Xuan, so what if you have an Anomalous Fire? The final champion will still be !
