Chapter 123: The Reappearance of Strange Fire
As soon as Liu Ling finished speaking, a dark hurricane blew up in the field, accompanied by Holden's sarcastic voice, "Haha... You useless alchemists from the Gama Empire, I'm going to take the championship."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Holden summoning a dark red flame. The moment he summoned the flame, the flame in Liu Ling's hand seemed to be faintly weaker. It was obvious that even though the flame in his hand was far inferior to the strange fire, it was still slightly stronger than the flame in Liu Ling's hand.
"Haha, it seems like it's my turn to perform." Looking at the colorful flames around him, Xiao Se smiled indifferently. He clenched his right fist and raised it high, then slowly opened it. The dancing green flame suddenly rose. All of a sudden, the temperature of the entire square soared, and it was so hot that ordinary people could hardly bear it, as if they were in the Tagor Desert.
Wisps of green flames slowly rose from Xiao Se's palm, quietly spreading to the sky above Xiao Se's head, gathering into a huge green crystal-like translucent lotus.
The green lotus continued to spin, and the flames in the hands of Liu Ling, Holden, and others, who were originally cheering and jumping, suddenly wilted. All the flames bowed their heads towards the green fire lotus above Xiao Se's head as if they were subjects worshiping the monarch.
Strange Fire Appears, All Fires Subdue!
"Is this... Strange Fire?" Looking at the huge blue fire lotus above Xiao Se's head, Hai Bodong, Fama, Jia Xingtian, Yun Yun, and Gu He, the five giants standing at the top of the Jiama Empire, stood up at the same time on the VIP platform, staring at the strange scene in astonishment. Each of them showed solemnity and amazement.
Gu He took a deep breath, looked at Yun Yun beside him with a complicated look, and said with a wry smile: "Master Yun, could he be the masked boy who possessed the strange fire last year?"
Yun Yun nodded slowly.
"Haha, since he is so familiar with Hai Lao, I should have thought it was him earlier. But I didn't expect him to be so young. I remember his registered age was only seventeen. The new generation indeed pushes the old generation forward." Gu He sighed and smiled helplessly.
"He is indeed gifted by heaven." Looking at the green flame dancing in Xiao Se's hand, even though Yun Yun was calm, a hint of admiration could not help but flash across her beautiful eyes. Even she would not dare to touch a rare thing like the strange fire.
Fama and Hai Bodong, who were standing by, heard the conversation between Yun Yun and Gu He, their mouths twitched slightly, and they sighed in their hearts: If you knew that this little guy was only fourteen or fifteen years old, you would probably be shocked.
"How many cards does this little fellow have hidden that he hasn't used yet?" Jia Xingtian couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he looked at the famous scene of all the fires surrendering.
"Haha...then let's wait and see. I was a little worried at first, but now it seems that I was worrying too much." Fama stroked his long beard and laughed excitedly. He had seen the scene of the Ten Thousand Fires surrendering once before, but he didn't expect that he would have the chance to see it again here.
Behind the five people of Fama, Yafei, Yaoye and Yaoyue were listening to their conversation with inexplicable horror in their eyes.
"This little guy likes to surprise people." Looking at Xiao Se who was the center of everyone's attention below, Yafei's charming face revealed a gentle smile and she murmured.
"This guy is more powerful than Grandpa Long's Qian Blue Water Flame." Xiao Zui muttered, and Yaoyue felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
I used to comfort myself that I would be able to catch up with Xiao Se after growing up in a few years.
Now that the strange fire has appeared, she knows that she has no hope at all. In terms of age, the latter is "seventeen" years old, and she is fourteen years old. Although there is a three-year difference, whether it is the powerful strength that can kill Mu Zhan in seconds, or the alchemy skills that far exceed Liu Ling, she can't catch up. Now, she will not be stupid enough to think that Xiao Se is just a second-grade alchemist.
"This guy shouldn't be so stingy, right? How about... wait until the game is over and apologize?" This thought flashed through her mind quickly, and Yaoyue was in a dilemma. In
another corner of the VIP seat, Nalan Yanran, who was sitting next to Nalan Jie, also stood up. At this moment, she had not recovered from the shock. Although she knew in advance that Xiao Se had a strange fire, knowing was one thing, and seeing was another. You know, Gu He, who was also like a god in her heart, had asked several Dou Wang masters and her teacher Dou Huang Yun Yun to get a strange fire that they had never obtained. Now it appeared in Xiao Se's hands. How could she not be shocked?
In the square, the scene of thousands of fires surrendering also made Xiao Se. Looking at the astonished glances cast from all around, he shrugged slightly, waved his hand, and poured the strange fire into the medicine cauldron. Only then did the flames of the contestants return to normal.
"Hmph, so what if the flame is good? The gap between the levels of alchemists cannot be made up by strange fire alone." Pouring the black and red flame into the medicine cauldron, Holden sneered.
Compared to Holden's fearlessness, Liu Ling's expression was much uglier. To win first place in the Alchemist Conference and impress Nalan Yanran, he specially asked his teacher, Dan Wang Guhe, to find this fifth-level beast fire for him. He originally wanted to defeat Xiao Se with this, but he ended up being a clown again.
In the square, as the strange scene disappeared, the contestants' minds returned to normal, and they focused their attention on the final round of the competition. Pour the flame into the medicine cauldron, take out the medicinal materials, and extract the liquid medicine, completing the first step.
Xiao Se stared at the medicine cauldron, recalling the prescription in Podocarpus's memory, flipping his hands, occasionally throwing one or two herbs into the cauldron. According to the prescription, he slowly extracted the required liquid medicine.
Although he already knew the recipe in detail, Hai Bodong had only collected two sets of medicinal materials, so Xiao Se could not be careless. If he lost, the embarrassment would be secondary. If the recipe for Rongling Pill was gone, he would be sorry for the drop of blood given by Queen Medusa.
The huge square was completely silent at this moment, and everyone was concentrating on refining the elixir in their hands. The noise in the audience and VIP seats, which were originally a bit noisy, gradually stopped under the influence of this silent atmosphere.
"Sure enough, they all have backup plans, whether it's that weird alchemist from the Izumo Empire or that kid Liu Ling, they all have trump cards. But compared to the spectacular sight of all the fires surrendering to little friend Xiao Huohuo, that is undoubtedly a small thing compared to a big one. It has to be said that being able to meet Xiao Huohuo among the alchemists of the same generation is their fortune, but also their sorrow." In the VIP seats, Nalan Jie looked at Xiao Se who was concentrating on controlling the strange fire to refine the medicine below, and couldn't help but sigh.
