Chapter 154: Hard Fight with Dan Lei
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the calamity cloud, aiming directly at the medicine cauldron in front of Xu Haoyu, trying to destroy the eighth-grade elixir that was about to be born.
There were cries of surprise from all around. Not everyone could block the thunder brought about by the eighth-grade elixir.
Of course Xu Haoyu couldn't let it do what it wanted. He took the initiative to step forward, flew into the air, and blocked the path of the thunder.
"Five Elements Divine Light!"
A beam of colorful light quickly penetrated his body and collided with the thunder, and the two sides immediately became entangled.
This is the elixir thunder brought about by an eighth-grade elixir. Its terrifying power would even make a Dou Zun feel troubled.
The decomposition ability of the Five Elements Divine Light was not able to completely decompose it in the first place, so that part of the thunder spread to Xu Haoyu's body.
With crackling sounds, his clothes were torn to pieces by the raging thunder, but his strong bones and muscles prevented him from suffering too much damage.
Xu Haoyu's long hair was flying and his eyes were as fast as lightning. He looked up at the calamity cloud without any fear. You know, his body was also terrifyingly strong. The thunder that was weakened by the Five Elements Divine Light could not cause any harm to him.
"Come on, is this the only power you have?"
As if provoked, the calamity clouds in the sky became increasingly dense, and bolts of lightning struck down one after another, like dragons and snakes, with flashes of lightning piercing the void.
Xu Haoyu accepted it all. He used all his strength to activate the Five Elements Divine Light and decompose the thunder energy to the greatest extent. If it was impossible to decompose it, he would just let the thunder fall on himself.
A burning and stinging pain came from all over his body. Xu Haoyu gritted his teeth and persevered, treating it as a tempering of his body.
Soon, the thunder energy decomposed by the Five Elements Divine Light finally fed back and circulated in his meridians. He quickly practiced his skills to refine it. These energies also brought a hint of numbness, and were refined into pure Dou Qi, which was added to his own Dou Qi.
Relying on the Dou Qi refined from these energies, Xu Haoyu's own Dou Qi increased rapidly, his momentum soared, and he launched an attack towards the two-star Dou Zong.
The other people around were all stunned. They didn't expect Xu Haoyu to be so tough. He was obviously an alchemist, but his fighting power was so strong that he could even fight against Dan Lei, who represented the power of heaven.
This directly broke everyone's inherent impression, that is, alchemists, because they have to spend a lot of time improving their alchemy skills, their general combat effectiveness is weaker.
But now, an eighth-grade alchemist at the Dou Zong level was fighting against Dan Lei, which even Dou Zun found difficult to deal with. This level of ferocity made countless people feel ashamed.
The pill thunder that came down from the calamity cloud was not endless. After blasting out seventy or eighty pill thunders in succession, it finally ran out of power and dissipated unwillingly.
In the sky, Xu Haoyu was still surrounded by thunder. The thunder was being rapidly decomposed into energy, which was then refined and absorbed by Xu Haoyu. His aura continued to rise, and at a certain moment, it seemed to surpass a certain limit, and finally broke through from a one-star Dou Zong to a two-star Dou Zong.
By this time, the thunder had been almost consumed, and his momentum had almost risen.
Xu Haoyu took a deep breath. The pain from the pill thunder was not pleasant, but the result was good. It helped him break through a star level. He looked down and found that there were only a few pieces of cloth left to cover his important parts. The rest of his clothes were almost torn.
Then, he pointed with one finger, and the five elements divine light around him quickly gathered on his body.
Strong men above the Dou Ling level can condense Dou Qi into objects, not to mention that Xu Haoyu is now a Dou Zong. He directly used the Five Elements Divine Light to condense a long robe for himself. The whole robe is white, with lines embroidered on it, as if the Five Elements Divine Light was imprinted on the robe.
At this time, in the medicine cauldron, the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill, which was refined into an eighth-grade pill, noticed that the pill thunder had dissipated, and immediately shot out, wanting to gain freedom.
But Xu Haoyu would never let it escape. He quickly chased after it and grabbed it. The pill was still trembling slightly, as if trying to break free. It was obviously unwilling to be eaten as it had spirituality.
Then Xu Haoyu took out a jade bottle from the ring, put the pill into it, and used strange fire to set a seal to completely cut off the possibility of its escape.
After doing all this, Xu Haoyu glanced around, then turned around and faced Xuan Kongzi. He would surely become famous by refining the eighth-grade elixir this time, and said in a clear voice:
"Senior, the elixir has been refined. Do you want to personally examine it?"
Xuan Kongzi let out a long sigh. Even he had not expected that an eighth-grade alchemist would appear at the three-yearly Alchemy Appraisal Conference. He must treat this person seriously.
"Haha, that's not necessary. The pill thunder will never go wrong. Congratulations, Xu Haoyu, for refining an eighth-grade pill. You will undoubtedly be the champion of this pill appraisal conference. As the champion, how do you feel now?"
Hearing this, Xu Haoyu turned around and faced everyone, wrapped his voice in fighting spirit, and spread it to the entire arena:
"I, Xu Haoyu, solemnly state here that if you want me to refine an eighth-grade elixir, you can prepare a technique or fighting skill above the Earth Rank, regardless of the attribute. As long as I like it, I am willing to refine the elixir for you. This condition is valid for a long time."
Now is his highlight moment. If he doesn't take the opportunity to advertise himself, it would be a waste of this opportunity.
As expected, after he finished speaking, it quickly caused a sensation. Although martial arts or fighting skills above the earth level are rare, all large forces in Zhongzhou have one or two earth-level martial arts and fighting skills.
And the eighth-grade alchemists are much rarer than the earth-level alchemists. If you can hire an eighth-grade alchemist to refine pills, it is still worthwhile to pay the earth-level alchemists' expenses.
At this time, Xuan Kongzi was also stunned. He did not expect Xu Haoyu to say that. Then he smiled and thought that this was to use their Alchemy Appraisal Conference to become famous.
But these are all good things. Everything has two sides. High-level alchemists can use the Alchemy Appraisal Conference to become famous, and the Alchemy Appraisal Conference can also use high-level alchemists to expand their influence. This is a disguised way to enhance the status of alchemists, which is of great benefit to all alchemists.
Then, Xuan Kongzi said gently:
"Also, Xu Haoyu, since you are the champion, you can obtain a scroll of soul skills from our Dan Tower. You can come and get it anytime after the Dan Appraisal Conference is over."
Upon hearing this, Xu Haoyu was excited but also felt a little regretful. This was only a soul skill, not a soul technique. The "Induction Chapter" he was practicing now was, after all, only a fragment of a complete soul technique.
It seems that if I want to obtain the complete soul skills, I have to think of some other ways.
Then he responded:
"Thank you, senior. I understand."
