"Cao Clan Leader, I am late. I wonder if you can do me a favor and allow me to participate in the last round of the competition?"
A clear laughter suddenly rang out. Although it sounded gentle, it contained a kind of arrogance, causing everyone present to frown.
The gathering of the alchemists was a competition of the highest caliber for the younger generation in Yuezhou. Naturally, the rules were very strict. If one didn't register in time, then they cannot participate in the middle of the competition.
Yet the owner of this voice asked the Cao Clan Leader to do him a favor. This alone was enough to prove how arrogant this person was.
It seemed like this person had the right to be arrogant. After those words were spoken, he used some unknown method to walk into the Realm of Alchemy without the permission of the five clan leaders.
His brows were straight like swords, his face was like jade, and his robe was white like snow. His entire being was like an immortal descending into the mortal world. His demeanor was imposing and his temperament was out of this world.
Instantly, everyone's gaze was attracted to him. It was as if this person was the only one in the world.
When the Cao Clan Leader saw this person, he frowned and asked hesitantly, "Dan Tong Sheng?"
"It seems like Cao Clan Leader still remembers me. What an honor." The man in white grinned. Like a real immortal, he was above everyone else.
In terms of temperament alone, he was on par with Ling Xian. Compared to Yun Jian, who was nicknamed the Banished Immortal, it was hard to tell who was better.
However, this person's temperament was somewhat arrogant, unlike Ling Xian and Yun Jian who were easy-going and natural.
"Dan Tong Sheng, it really is you!"
Shock flashed across Cao Clan Leader's eyes. Hearing this, other than Ling Xian, everyone else fell into a state of shock.
To the alchemists of the City of Dan, the name Dan Tong Sheng was not unfamiliar. He was once like a mountain that suppressed all the alchemists of the City of Dan.
Yes, this person was the genius alchemist who defeated 127 alchemists of the eighth realm all by himself 10 years ago!
Back then, he appeared out of nowhere in a dazzling manner and beat up all the alchemists of the City of Dan until they couldn't even lift their heads. He was extremely dominating!
This made him famous and deeply imprinted himself in the hearts of everyone in the City of Dan. Now that this person had reappeared, why wouldn't everyone be shocked?
"I didn't expect that after ten years, everyone still has such a deep impression of me."
Sensing everyone's shocked stares, Dan Tong Sheng's lips curled up. Though he appeared calm, he was actually very satisfied.
Obviously, he enjoyed the crowd's reaction.
"Your battle record is too impressive. It's hard not to remember it." Clan Leader Cao stared deeply at him and said, "Are you here to participate in this year's gathering?"
"That's right. I didn't make it ten years ago. Naturally, I want to make up for it." Dan Tong Sheng nodded softly. His handsome face was full of confidence and his words were arrogant.
"I like the title of champion of the Elixir Gathering very much. Hence, today, I have come to take it away."
Everyone frowned again. They felt that this person was arrogant. However, because of his battle record 10 years ago, no one said anything.
The way they looked at Dan Tong Sheng was a little unfriendly.
"No wonder he's the monster who defeated all the Eighth Realm Alchemists in the City of Dan 10 years ago. He's so arrogant when he talks." Cao Clan Leader's expression was cold, "Do you think the gathering of alchemists is a place you can participate whenever you want?"
"Cao Clan Leader, please do me a favor. After all, it doesn't matter to me whether or not I participate in the first two rounds. "
Dan Tong Sheng's face turned arrogant, "I also remember that there is a rule for the gathering of alchemists. As long as an alchemist has made a name for himself in the City of Dan, he or she can participate in the last round."
"In other words, it doesn't matter if I sign up or not. With my name, Dan Tong Sheng, I can participate in the last round."
Dan Tong Sheng was arrogant and his face was full of arrogance.
"I cannot believe you know about this rule." Cao Clan Leader softly sighed. He didn't think this person would bring up this rule.
It was true. During the last gathering of alchemists, this rule was set. The goal was to provide convenience for the famous alchemists in the City of Dan. This way, they could skip the first round and directly enter the last round.
With Dan Tong Sheng's famous name and his battle record, he completely fit this rule.
"So, Cao Clan Leader, please do me a favor." Dan Tong Sheng spoke softly, his face revealing that he was certain of victory.
"Let him participate. The rules of our ancestors cannot be disobeyed."
A calm but slightly angry voice arose. It was the leader of the four clans. The way they looked at Dan Tong Sheng was not friendly.
This rule has always existed. But after all these years, nobody dared to break it. That was the same as looking down on the five clans. Yet before their eyes, Dan Tong Sheng had done what he did. Naturally, the Clan Leaders were angry.
"Oh well, I will allow you to participate in the last round." Cao Clan Leader nodded and agreed.
Hearing this, Dan Tong Sheng became even more arrogant. To be able to make the five clans submit was something to be proud of.
Hong Zhuang Luo and everyone else's expression changed. They couldn't help but think. The Dan Tong Sheng from 10 years ago was already terrifying. Now that 10 years had passed, just how terrifying was his alchemy skills?
The only person whose expression didn't change was probably Ling Xian.
Though he was shocked at Dan Tong Sheng's battle record, this didn't affect his confidence at all.
What surprised him, however, was that Dan Tong Sheng was slowly walking towards him. The moment he walked up, he was provoking him.
"I have watched the first two rounds. In this year's gathering, only you barely qualify to be my opponent."
"Barely?" Ling Xian raised an eyebrow. He didn't like this person's arrogant attitude.
"That's right. You barely qualify to be my opponent. In the end, you cannot compete against me." Dan Tong Sheng's expression was arrogant and he didn't think anything of Ling Xian.
"You are that confident that you can step on me?"
Ling Xian's expression turned cold. He had never met this person before and he had no hatred against him. Yet before his eyes, this person was speaking so rudely and provoking him. Who wouldn't be angry?
"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that you have the Essence of Herbalism and the Godly Fire, you wouldn't even qualify to be my opponent." Dan Tong Sheng smiled arrogantly.
Ling Xian's eyes turned cold, "What an arrogant person. I sure want to see what kind of capabilities you have to make you so cocky."
"You will see. I will make you understand that the Godly Fire and the Essence of Herbalism are a waste in your hands."
Dan Tong Sheng's expression was arrogant and there was jealousy in his eyes, "I will also make you understand what it means to be a true monster alchemist. Even though you have the Essence of Herbalism and the Godly Fire, you will still be stepped on by me!"
"Oh really?"
Ling Xian glared at him as the anger in his chest boiled, "I will wait and see how you step on me."
"Haha, I can't wait to see the expression on your face when I step on you." Dan Tong Sheng laughed out loud and left.
Then, the Cao Clan Leader's voice rose, indicating that a real battle between tigers and dragons was about to begin.
"I hereby announce that the third round of the test officially begins!"
