Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4660: I broke through again

Ling Han was fighting against three opponents all on his own, yet he was firmly on the upper hand.

Since he had nothing else to do, he was tempering his technique.

In a situation when power was completely not on the upper hand, and without even using martial arts techniques, merely relying on his basic skills and meticulous control of power, he easily gained the upper hand.

This was a little like how the Great Emperor had suppressed his cultivation level. Even if his cultivation level had dropped to the Venerate Tier, he would still be able to put up a fight against a Saint.

Ling Han actually gained a sliver of enlightenment. That was because even in a battle on the level of Saints, Regulations was the main force and real power, but it was not that power was completely useless.

Sometimes, it may be this slight difference that would allow him to defeat his opponent.

On the other hand, the three black-robed men became more and more panicked as they fought.

What was going on?

They were clearly Mystery Realm Tiers, and had entered into this cultivation level much earlier than Ling Han, so why were they still at a disadvantage in a three-on-one battle?

What kind of freak was this?

Pu!

Just as they were distracted, a black-robed man had his saber snatched away by Ling Han. He turned it around and swiped out at his neck. Immediately, blood poured out madly. Even if he tried his best to cover the wound on his neck, it was useless.

Ling Han slashed again, and after a few slashes, another person was cut down.

The remaining person was scared to death, and did not have any fighting spirit left. Immediately, he fled in a panic.

Ling Han didnʼt give chase. This was a good opportunity for him to return and deliver a message to Zhu Yangzhou, scaring that guy.

He slowly returned to the Martial Hall. At this time, the news that he had broken through to the Mystery Realm Tier had already spread out, which naturally caused another commotion.

How many days had it been since he entered the Martial Hall?

It had only been ten days, but what about it? His cultivation level had already soared from the Meridian Opening Tier to the Mystery Realm Tier. Every two days or so, he would advance another cultivation level. Who wouldnʼt go crazy with jealousy?

—Zhao Jian broke another four cups in outrage.

Yan Yanʼs interest in Ling Han was growing more and more. She would come to look for him every few days, which naturally caused Zhu Yangzhou to feel even more jealous. However, the fact that he had sent someone to kill Ling Han, but they had failed made him feel uneasy.

Because with Ling Hanʼs present relationship with Yan Yan, he was completely capable of asking the City Lordʼs Residence to make a move, and begin an investigation.

What made him feel slightly at ease was the fact that the black-clad man who had fled back had already been silenced by him. There would be no witnesses now that he was dead. It was impossible for Ling Hanʼs one-sided story to cement the accusation. After all, he was already a Celestial, and furthermore, the son of the Martial Hallʼs Master. Without complete proof, even the city lordʼs residence couldnʼt do anything to him.

He was like a poisonous snake, searching for the next chance to make a move.

He had to hurry, because Ling Hanʼs ”Spirit Devouring Physique” was too terrifying. Who knows, after a while, he would step onto the Celestial Path.

Right at this moment, the Martial Hall Competition was about to begin.

Every three years, there would be a disciple competition among the Martial Halls of the various ordinary cities. The victor would be able to represent the B-level city in the high-level competition, and could even charge all the way to the capital.

If he could reach this step, that would be reaching the heavens in a single step.

Every three years, there would be such prodigies and lucky people that would rise above the rest, and soar through the ranks.

This kind of prodigy had appeared in the Fortune Dragon City before. Now, he was already esteemed as one of the four great War God Guardian Deities, and was an elite of Sect Master-level! 𝘙𝒶ℕỗβĚș

Thus, when the time for the tournament drew near, all the disciples rubbed their fists in anticipation.

However, the number of participants was limited, and there were only a mere three spots. Thus, they would definitely only be able to send out the most outstanding disciples.

However, Ling Han definitely wouldnʼt settle for that.

Wasnʼt this a good opportunity for him to quickly enter the Pond of Life?

In Fortune Dragon Cityʼs Martial Hall, there just happened to be three Celestial Path-level disciples. Thus, there was no need for trouble at all. It was just these three, and there was no need to pick and choose.

—Once one had stepped onto the Celestial Path, that was a completely different level of being. It was not something that the Mystery Realm Tier could aspire to at all.

However, Ling Han definitely wouldnʼt settle for that.

Wasnʼt this a good opportunity for him to quickly enter the Pond of Life?

Thus, he immediately went to find the Master of the Martial Hall. Oh, right, the Masterʼs name was Zhu Tai, and he was a Core Formation Tier cultivator.

Because he was a prodigy of the Martial Hall, Zhu Tai also gave him face. When he found out that Ling Han wanted to see him, he very quickly allowed him to come in.

”I want to participate in the Martial Hall tournament,” Ling Han said directly.

Zhu Tai immediately shook his head, ”Hehe, though your physique is heaven-defying, you joined too late after all, and havenʼt stepped into Celestial Path yet. Donʼt be anxious, three years later, it will be your world.”

Ling Han cracked a smile, ”I ate a Celestial medicine yesterday, and have just broken through to Foundation Building Tier.”

”Pu!” Zhu Tai immediately spluttered out a mouthful of tea, then coughed uncontrollably.

What kind of joke was this? You broke through again?

Hold on, could advancing in the mortal level compare to setting foot on the Celestial Path?

From mortal to Celestial, how much energy was needed to breach this step?

This was the accumulation of many, many things, and was definitely not something that could be accomplished overnight.

He revealed an expression of displeasure. Even if Ling Hanʼs physique was so awesome, it was still impossible for him to rush up to Celestial Path in just a few days. After all, he knew that Ling Han had just broken through to Mystery Realm Tier a few days ago.

”Zhang Hanjun, do you know that deceiving an elder is a serious crime!”

Ling Han looked surprised, ”I have indeed broken through.”

He released a wisp of aura, which was shockingly Foundation Building Tier-level.

Zhu Tai was instantly dumbfounded, speechless.

He really was a Foundation Building Tier cultivator!

F***.

He didnʼt know how to react at all. Could it be that this was the terror of the Spirit Devouring Physique?

This was too shocking. From mortal to Celestial, this step was actually so simple.

”This!” Aside from being stunned, he was slightly troubled.

In the first place, there were only three Celestial Path-level disciples, so there was no need to choose at all. It was just these three disciples.

But now?

There was now Ling Han added into the equation.

What could they do?

One person had to be eliminated.

”You can leave first. I will consider for a while.”

Although Zhu Tai was the Master, the Martial Hall wasnʼt his private property. Rather, it had been established by the Buddhist Race. Thus, he couldnʼt do as he liked.

Thus, he convened a meeting, and after a discussion with a few deputy masters, he came up with a solution.

Then letʼs have a competition.

One out of the four people would be chosen, and the weakest one would be eliminated, which would be fair and just.

When the news spread out, it shook the Martial Hall.

Who would have thought that there would be a person like Ling Han?

As long as there was need, his cultivation level could be increased. It was really too amazing.

When Zhao Jian found out, who knew how many things he had broken.

He knew that Ling Han was a ”Spirit Devouring Physique”, so his cultivation speed was fast, but no matter how fast, it couldnʼt possibly be so fast, right? He hadnʼt even advanced half a minor level, and you have already become a Celestial!

Celestials were extremely valuable. If it was in the village, they could definitely be worshipped on a longevity plaque.

Because time was tight, only a day later, the knockout tournament began.

Ling Han and the others stepped out respectively.

Aside from himself and Zhu Yangzhou, the other two Foundation Building Tier disciples were a man and a woman respectively. Their names were Liu Jia and Li Mingyue.

They drew lots first, then battled in pairs. There was no need for the victors to compete again. The two losers would battle again, and the one who lost would be eliminated.

This was still quite fair. As long as oneʼs abilities werenʼt at the bottom, they would definitely be able to win.

Thus, the four of them drew lots first. The result was Ling Han against Liu Jia, and Zhu Yangzhou against Ling Han.

The two battles began at the same time.

”Junior Brother Zhang, arenʼt you a little too arrogant!” Liu Jia shook his head. ”Though your physique is astonishingly strong, you have only just broken through to the Foundation Building Tier, after all. What battle prowess could you possibly have? You really donʼt care about the big picture!”

Meanwhile, Ling Han smiled, ”How do you know that when I go to White River City to participate, I would not have already eaten my way to Cauldron Forging Tier?”

So logical!

Liu Jia was instantly rendered speechless, and could not refute him.
