Myriad Dragon Divine Sovereign

Everyone was shocked. They never imagined Wang Jie would attack a newcomer directly. After all, during the competition for the Flame Spirit Gold Water, the senior students usually showed mercy to the newcomers in front of the academy’s upper echelons. It was an unspoken tradition.

Wen Qingye exchanged a blow and immediately knew the Wang Jie before him was powerful, no less so than Yux Yang. He instantly became wary.

SPLASH!

Just then, a series of sputtering splashes echoed from the water’s surface. A figure was flailing wildly—it was Wang Chong.

Wang Jie was overjoyed at the sight. He rushed over, pulled Wang Chong onto the bank, and took out a pill for him to swallow.

Wang Chong’s face was deathly pale. He said weakly, ”Brother, you have to get revenge for me.”

”Okay, okay. Heal yourself first. Healing is the priority,” Wang Jie said hurriedly, his tone tinged with anxiety.

The two brothers, Wang Chong and Wang Jie, had been extremely close since childhood. Seeing Wang Chong injured, Wang Jie seemed to lose some of his reason.

After calming Wang Chong down, Wang Jie stared coldly at Wen Qingye, a frigid light glinting in his eyes. ”Don’t even think about getting a single drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water from here. Even though you’re a newcomer, I won’t show you any mercy.”

After speaking, Wang Jie helped Wang Chong walk to the other side.

Wen Qingye paid Wang Jie’s words no mind, but he sneered inwardly. He walked over to Wei Qiutong and took out a healing Fourth-Grade Pill.

”His injuries shouldn’t be a big deal. He’ll be fine after some rest,” Wen Qingye said after glancing at Wei Qiutong’s condition.

”Mm,” Ren Hua nodded.

At that moment, Guu Lei also walked over, but the sword in his hand was already broken.

”Looks like I’ll have to get a new sword when I get back,” Guu Lei said with a calm expression.

”A Third-Grade Sword definitely needs replacing,” Ren Hua nodded, then looked at Wen Qingye with concern. ”What Wang Jie said just now...”

”It’s nothing!” Wen Qingye said, waving his hand. ”Just give me some time.”

As he spoke, Wen Qingye slowly sat down cross-legged and took out the Flame Spirit Gold Water, as well as the Star Cold Water.

Combining Flame Spirit Gold Water and Star Cold Water would maximize the effects of both liquids, and it would also greatly reduce the time needed to refine the Flame Spirit Gold Water.

Wen Qingye slowly consumed one drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water and one drop of Star Cold Water.

The two liquids of opposing natures entered Wen Qingye’s abdomen together. Instantly, he felt a scorching heat, followed by an extreme cold. The two sensations alternated continuously.

The surrounding Primordial Qi surged madly toward Wen Qingye. His body was like a black hole, endlessly absorbing the Primordial Qi from his surroundings.

Searing heat!

Freezing cold!

It was an ordeal of ice and fire. The Flame Spirit Gold Water and Star Cold Water continuously converged with each other.

BOOM!

Wen Qingye’s body trembled violently, as if a volcano were erupting inside him.

Wen Qingye’s face grew pale. Although fusing Flame Spirit Gold Water and Star Cold Water could speed up refinement and cultivation, the pain was not something an ordinary person could endure.

”Wh-what’s happening?” Guu Lei watched Wen Qingye, his brows tightly furrowed.

Ren Hua pondered for a moment before saying slowly, ”He must be refining the Flame Spirit Gold Water. We should just watch over him carefully. With Wen Qingye’s strength, refining a single drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water shouldn’t be a problem.”

.......

The others were all focused intently on the Flame Spirit Pool, so naturally, none of them noticed the change in Wen Qingye.

Shen Yanxing’s eyes grew icy as he seethed with hatred. ’Good. Very good. Yann Chuxue, Wang Jie, you two colluded against me. Excellent. You actually made sure I didn’t get a single drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water. Just wait until my cultivation breaks through again. I’ll make you two damned lovers pay.’

Yann Chuxue looked at the drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water in her hand and passed it to Yann Xiangyang, saying, ”You take it.”

”Sis, this...” Yann Xiangyang hesitated.

Yann Chuxue explained, ”Take it. If I refine it now, I won’t be able to fight for the next batch of Flame Spirit Gold Water.”

Hearing Yann Chuxue’s words, Yann Xiangyang couldn’t help but nod. He took the drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water and sat down to the side to begin refining it.

On the distant stone bridge, the upper echelons of Qig Mountain Academy watched the crowd with unblinking eyes.

Wang Tianming pointed at Wen Qingye and said, ”That new student’s strength is quite impressive!”

His tone was full of admiration, showing no resentment that Wen Qingye had injured Wang Chong. Instead, he seemed to find it a pity. If only this person had arrived two or three years earlier, it would have been perfect.

Nie Qinglan said with profound meaning, ”Yes, his strength is indeed impressive, and his talent is remarkable as well.”

Yann Shanjun watched the earlier fight between Wen Qingye and Wang Chong, growing more and more delighted. ’This kid’s strength is impressive, and his progress is incredibly fast. No, I absolutely cannot let him get away.’

Time passed, drop by drop. In the blink of an eye, half a double-hour had gone by.

SIZZLE!

Suddenly, the Flame Spirit Pool erupted once more, spewing out several jets of golden light. The entire surface of the pool became incredibly hot. It looked like there were at least seven or eight drops of Flame Spirit Gold Water.

Everyone’s eyes burned with greed, especially those who had failed to obtain any Flame Spirit Gold Water earlier. At this moment, their eyes were red with envy, their hearts burning with impatience.

BOOM!

The silent night was shattered once again as water from the pool’s surface splashed continuously.

”Yann Chuxue! Wang Jie!” Shen Yanxing roared, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at the two people before him.

He had been so close—so close to getting that drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water. But then Yann Chuxue had appeared out of nowhere to stop him, and in the end, Wang Jie had snatched it. How could Shen Yanxing not be furious?

Yann Chuxue said coolly, ”I told you. You won’t be getting a single drop of Flame Spirit Gold Water this year.”

”ARGH!”

Shen Yanxing let out a great shout. His palm, carrying a violent gale, shot toward Yann Chuxue. Wherever the force of his palm passed, the surface of the water exploded upward.

”Wind Palm!”

Seeing Shen Yanxing fly directly at her, Yann Chuxue gave a sharp cry. The silver-white sword in her hand flickered with specks of silver light and, as fast as a shooting star, thrust toward Shen Yanxing.

”Star Chasing Moon!”

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Sword Qi and Palm Qi collided violently in mid-air, causing the surrounding pool water to erupt.

At that moment, Wang Jie strode to Yann Chuxue’s side and laughed wildly. ”Shen Yanxing, let’s you and I have a go!”

As he finished speaking, Wang Jie leaped into the air. The power erupting from his palm surged like a clap of thunder, carrying an astonishing might.

”Hah!”

Shen Yanxing had no choice but to extend his own palm and meet Wang Jie’s attack head-on.

A sound like muffled thunder echoed out. Shen Yanxing’s face instantly turned pale. Although he had experienced Wang Jie’s strength before, he was still deeply shocked.

The sound of booming clashes rose and fell all around, the chaos unceasing. Some of the Flame Spirit Gold Water had already been claimed by others. Seeing this, Shen Yanxing’s expression became so dark it looked like it could drip water.

Soon, the Flame Spirit Gold Water had been more or less divided up.

A semblance of calm returned, but it felt like the quiet before a storm.
