Seeing that some of the alchemists had not yet set fire to the candle, Mrs. Li shouted, "When the sand in this hourglass is completely drained, this round is over. If you do not compete, it will be considered as automatic forfeiture, and you will be eliminated."
Shen Xiang looked at the hourglass, it would take about half an hour for the sand to completely drain. Time was very tight, because the candle was very difficult to burn. One had to be very careful when burning it, otherwise the ice inside would be completely burned away.
Among the three arenas, only the alchemists of the high-rank arena had completely released their flames. Some of the alchemists of the other two arenas were hesitating, however, they did not want to be eliminated without even competing.
With so many alchemists releasing their True Qi flames at the same time, the entire arena was like a steamer. Many people were unable to bear it, and their whole body was soaked in sweat. Only a few strong martial artists were able to withstand it with their True Qi.
Everyone was cautiously burning the candle. Some were burning it little by little from the top, some were burning it little by little from the side. All of them only released a little flame and carefully roasted it.
Only Shen Xiang's method of burning was very amazing. He actually released a flame that wrapped the entire candle. Moreover, the flame was very powerful. The alchemists on the same arena as Shen Xiang were somewhat unable to bear it. At the same time, they were also amazed by Shen Xiang's terrifying flame. However, they believed that Shen Xiang's method of burning would only lead to nothing in the end.
Shen Xiang looked at the other two arenas, and saw that the candle of the three arenas had different degrees of heating. The high-rank arena had the highest degree of heating.
Hua Xiangyue was watching from the 20th floor of the Danxiang Tower. She was sitting in front of a short window, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand, looking very leisurely. She looked at Shen Xiang's flame and muttered, "This brat is always so reckless. He still dares to burn the Fire Spirit like this. He won't lose like this, right?"
Liu Meng'er walked in and also sat next to the short window. She took a sip of the fragrant tea and said with a smile, "How about we have a bet?"
"No, this brat has too many variables." Hua Xiangyue charmingly smiled and touched Liu Meng'er's face, "Sister Meng'er, you will definitely bet on your little lover to win, right?"
The noble and dignified Liu Menger also became like a young girl in front of Hua Xiangyue. She blushed and tenderly snorted, "You must be jealous!"
Liu Meng'er lied to Shen Xiang that she had returned to the Divine Weapons Heavenly Country in order to avoid Shen Xiang. She knew that if she were to get close to Shen Xiang now, the feelings between the two of them would be even deeper. Maybe one day, they would do something that would go too far. What's more, she couldn't be distracted now. Shen Xiang was the man of her two beloved disciples. She had always been very tangled about this matter.
She had to first cross the Nirvana Tribulation before she could deal with this complicated emotional matter. Because she might fail to cross the tribulation, she didn't want Shen Xiang to be sad for her! Moreover, it would also leave a shadow on Shen Xiang, especially when he was crossing the Nirvana Tribulation.
"How long are you going to hide this from him?" Liu Menger asked. She obviously knew some of Hua Xiangyue's secrets, and it was something Shen Xiang wanted to know.
"Wait until he is more powerful than me, then I will tell him! Menger, maybe we can become sisters at that time. This brat's charm is really too big. My heart is a little shaken, hee hee... "Hua Xiangyue tenderly laughed and said.
During the competition, Shen Xiang naturally didn't know that two beauties were talking about him. Although his face was serious, he would occasionally sweep a glance at those sweaty beauties on the stage, especially those with good figures. He would always take a few more glances at them, this made him even more excited.
This made him even more excited to compete.
Each and every one of the participating alchemists were completely engrossed in burning the wax pillars. Only Chen Xiang was so half-hearted. He did this because this competition was not the slightest challenge to him, because when refining dans, the degree of flame control was much higher than this. In his eyes, this competition was just like a game.
The red ice grains inside the wax pillar were locked by his divine sense. He freely controlled the flames that had fused with him. These flames were just like a part of his body, he could freely control them as he pleased.
Among the three stages, Shen Xiang was the most eye-catching, because the flames he released were very vigorous. Moreover, the entire wax pillar was wrapped up. At a glance, it was very conspicuous.
Suddenly, the flames in front of Shen Xiang disappeared. Immediately, the entire audience burst into a commotion. At the same time, bursts of exclamations burst out, because the wax pillar was gone. In front of Shen Xiang, many rice grain-sized red ice grains were suspended. Under the control of Shen Xiang, these ice grains all fell into the special ice box.
After the wax pillar was wrapped in Shen Xiang's flames for a period of time, it suddenly disappeared, just like a magic trick. Then, many red ice grains appeared, which made everyone gasp in amazement.
"One hundred grains!" This was personally counted by Mrs. Li. With a sweep of her divine sense, she was able to confirm the number. Her face was also filled with astonishment.
Shen Xiang was the fastest to complete the tournament. Moreover, he had perfectly passed the first round. This made the other alchemists feel a lot of pressure. Before, they thought Shen Xiang was mentally ill, but now they found out that they were the idiots. They actually looked down on others!
Shen Xiang was still sitting on the stage. He was looking at the middle-rank tournament stage, where his apprentice Yao Haisheng and his good friend Wu Qianqian were. Both of them were pretty good alchemists in the Taiwu Gate. Especially Wu Qianqian, her progress was very astonishing. Although she was only a Level-3 Alchemist, she was already able to refine the True Elemental Dan. Shen Xiang guessed that she might advance to Level-4 in one or two years.
After Wu Qianqian and Elder Dan had learned how to conceal the color of her flame, they did not expose her blue flame. At this time, her flame made the hundreds of young and old alchemists in the middle-rank tournament stage blush with shame. A flame with a soul was the nobility of flames. That was why the flame released by Wu Qianqian had a distinctive aura.
And Shen Xiang's Heavenly Sun Flame was much higher than Wu Qianqian's. It was not a noble aura, but the domineering aura of a king.
"Worthy of being the number one beauty in the Taiwu Gate. Her figure is on the same level as Sister Menger, Hua Xiangyue, Sister Youyou, and Sister Meiyao. Moreover, she is now more than thirty years old, and has even more mature charm..." Shen Xiang looked at Wu Qianqian's exquisite and tender body, his imagination was running wild.
What was surprising was that not long after Shen Xiang finished, Wu Qianqian, just like Shen Xiang, made the entire wax column disappear, and took out one hundred red ice grains, perfectly clearing the stage. Both of them were disciples of the Taiwu Gate!
As soon as Wu Qianqian finished, she looked towards Shen Xiang. She naughtily stuck out her tongue towards Shen Xiang, then revealed a sweet smile, which was very beautiful.
Seeing Wu Qianqian and Chen Xiang flirting with each other, Lian Changyun's heart was dripping with blood. Although he had played with many beautiful women, those women only had looks and figures, and did not have any status. They were all aiming for his wealth, which made him feel no sense of conquest.
And for Xue Xianxian and Wu Qianqian, these high and mighty jade girls, they were the most attractive to these young masters.
