Chapter 551 From Victory to Humiliation

A sharp tremor ran through Mu Linyueʼs cauldron.

Buzz-

A low, resonant hum spread outward, far deeper than anything heard before.

And then, a surge of Qi exploded outward.

”...”

Several onlookers straightened instantly.

Their expressions changed.

”That... this aura...”

”Somethingʼs wrong-”

The lid of the cauldron trembled.

Clang!

The lid lifted.

A wave of medicinal fragrance spread outward.

The surrounding Qi surged toward it instinctively.

”...Could it be... a Grade-4 pill?”

Someone muttered in disbelief. After all, the Qi they sensed was obviously much more powerful than that of a Grade-3 pill.

”Grade-4?! At her age?!”

”Sheʼs only eighteen!”

”Damn... a Grade-4 alchemist at eighteen?”

”Isnʼt that even more monstrous than Huo Shenyuʼs talent?!”

Looking at how powerful the Qi emitted was, everyone took it as a sign that Mu Linyue had refined a Grade-4 pill.

The reaction wouldnʼt have been so intense if it were any other participant, but because it was Mu Linyue-someone still in her teens-it became a major shock.

That would mean she had shattered Huo Shenyuʼs previous record and replaced him as the youngest Grade-4 alchemist.

Excitement erupted among the Desolate Heaven Empire.

”Hmph! Give her a few more years, and she might surpass Huo Shenyu!” ”Then letʼs see whoʼs arrogant!”

For a moment, their earlier despair cracked, replaced by anticipation.

Previously, they had felt humiliated, looked down upon for lacking a genius comparable to Huo Shenyu.

But now?

Everything had changed.

But not everyone was celebrating.

Among the higher-grade alchemists-

Silence!

Their brows furrowed.

Their eyes narrowed.

Because what they sensed... didnʼt match the conclusion others had reached.

”This... this Qi...”

”Itʼs too dense...”

”Even that Grade-5 pill that Huo Shenyu refined wasnʼt this powerful-”

A chill crept into their hearts.

An impossible thought surfaced-

Then was immediately suppressed.

ʼImpossible...ʼ

”Thereʼs no way...ʼ

ʼSheʼs too young...ʼ

ʼNo one at her age could possibly refine a Grade-5 pill...ʼ

One by one, they dismissed it, unwilling to accept such a terrifying possibility.

It was already shocking enough that Mu Linyue could refine a Grade-4 pill. If it were anything higher...

They didnʼt even know what to call such talent.

Some speculated that it was simply a particularly violent or unstable pill, which explained the overwhelming Qi and fragrance.

Huo Shenyuʼs expression also changed.

It wasnʼt that he believed Mu Linyue had refined a Grade-5 pill-but even the thought of her reaching Grade-4 Alchemist at such age filled him with fury.

His gaze locked onto Mu Linyueʼs cauldron.

Still, he consoled himself.

He would still win this competition and just because she reached grade-4 doesnʼt automatically mean that she would be able to reach Grade-5 faster.

Slowly, the light within the cauldron stabilized.

The aura condensed.

Then Mu Linyue raised her hand.

And from within the cauldron, a pill rose.

Floating gently into the air.

It was flawless.

Soft light pulsed across it, layer upon layer, like breathing.

Mu Linyue caught it lightly.

Then turned and displayed it openly, for everyone to see.

Silence!

The alchemists-

The other cultivators-

Even Huo Zhouchen-

All widened their eyes.

Shock!

Disbelief!

Horror!

Meanwhile, those unable to discern its grade frowned in confusion.

”What... what is it?”

”Why is everyone reacting like that?”

”I canʼt tell... what grade that pill is...”

The silence stretched.

No one dared to speak until a trembling voice finally broke it.

”...Top-tier...”

Gulp!

As if he couldnʼt believe it even while seeing it clearly-

”Top tier Grade-5 pill.”

BOOM!

It was as if thunder exploded in every mind.

”What?!”

”How is that possible?!”

”It isnʼt Grade-4... but Grade-5?!”

Shock spread like wildfire.

Those who couldnʼt sense it earlier finally understood.

No wonder the high-grade alchemists had looked as if they had seen something

impossible.

Because they had.

All eyes turned toward Mu Linyue.

She stood calmly, as if nothing extraordinary had happened.

Then, in a steady voice, she spoke.

”This is a Top-tier Grade-5-Heavenly Verdant Soul Refining Pill.”

The pill rested in her palm, radiating a soft yet overwhelming aura, its presence

far surpassing what most had ever witnessed.

”...Top-tier”

”...Grade-5”

Some repeated the words unconsciously, as if trying to convince themselves it

was real.

Meanwhile, Huo Shenyuʼs expression twisted.

”Thatʼs impossible!”

His voice rang out sharply, breaking the silence.

”Youʼre lying!”

All attention snapped toward him.

The accusation hung in the air.

And for a moment, many actually felt his words made sense.

How could someone so young refine a Grade-5 pill? Even Huo Shenyu had only barely reached Low-tier Grade-5.

And he was already considered a once-in-a-generation genius.

Mu Linyue?

Eighteen years old?

Top-tier Grade-5?

It sounded absurd. Unreal.

Right then-

”Pfft-”

A laugh slipped out.

”Hahahahaha!”

Bai Zihan didnʼt even try to hold it this time. His laughter rang out clearly, filled

with mockery.

Then he looked directly at Huo Shenyu.

”Oh? Young Master Huo, canʼt take a loss?”

A grin spread across his face.

”What a sore loser!”

The words struck like a blade.

Huo Shenyuʼs face flushed with anger.

”You-!”

His aura surged slightly, his voice turning sharp.

”This is impossible! There must be something wrong!”

Huo Shenyu frantically tried to find any justification or explanation, but nothing

came.

He then turned instinctively-

(Father must know!) ”Father-”

”Enough!”

Huo Zhouchenʼs cold voice cut through everything.

”She is-”

But before he could continue-

”Shut up! Didnʼt you disgrace yourself enough?”

Huo Zhouchenʼs voice was cold, carrying unmistakable anger. Huo Shenyu froze.

His words died in his throat.

Never in his life had his father scolded him like this.

Huo Zhouchenʼs gaze fell upon the pill in Mu Linyueʼs hand.

Others might doubt and be uncertain but how could he-a Grade-7 alchemist-

make a mistake in recognizing a Grade-5 pillʼs grade?

That pill was undeniably a Top-tier Grade-5 pill. ”Tsk! Tsk! Where is your arrogance now? Still think youʼve won?”

Bai Zihan continued, rubbing salt into the wound.

Huo Shenyu wanted to refute him, but seeing his fatherʼs reaction, he knew

that it was real.

So what could he even say now? ”Looks like some of you still have your doubts.”

Bai Zihan spoke again, smiling faintly. ”Then how about this?”

He turned toward Huo Zhouchen.

”Grandmaster Huo, do you also think that Mu Linyueʼs pill isnʼt a Top-tier

Grade-5 pill?”

The question was deliberately asked to Huo Zhouchen.

Huo Zhouchen frowned slightly, but he still needed to maintain composure.

His gaze lingered on the pill in Mu Linyueʼs hand.

Then he spoke.

”It is a Top-tier Grade-5 pill.”

Silence!

There was no longer any room for doubt.

Those words came from a Grade-7 alchemist.

From Huo Zhouchen himself. The authority behind them crushed all disbelief.

And in that instant, the last fragile thread of denial shattered. Bai Zihanʼs lips curled upward.

Then he slowly turned, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

Across those who had just praised Huo Shenyu. Across those who had declared the outcome prematurely. His voice rang out, clear and unhurried.

”Now then... do you all still believe Huo Shenyu is the winner?”

The same people who had spoken so confidently just moments ago now stood frozen.

Their faces stiff, burning with embarrassment.

Their earlier words echoed like ridicule in their minds.

Each sentence now felt like a slap-to themselves.

But the one who suffered the most humiliation was Huo Shenyu.

His fists clenched tightly.

The arrogance he displayed earlier...

The certainty.

The declaration of victory.

All of it now felt like a clown proclaiming himself emperor.

That arrogance had turned into the greatest humiliation.

And Bai Zihan wasnʼt letting it go.

”Tsk... tsk...”

He clicked his tongue lightly, his expression filled with amusement.

”What happened? You were so certain just now, saying it was meaningless to continue and that you were the winner!”

His eyes locked onto Huo Shenyu, filled with mockery.

”Do you still have the same delusion?”

Huo Shenyuʼs jaw tightened.

His entire body trembled faintly from rage and humiliation.

When has he ever, in his entire life, been so humiliated?
