When the words "tied for first place" came out, everyone was dumbfounded.
What was this? Two champions?
Everyone knew that this was a wager between the four empires. If the Southern Cloud Empire and the Yang Rong Empire were both champions, wouldn't they be able to claim the territories of the two empires?
However, after hearing the judge's announcement, Lu An heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't care if they were tied or not. At least this way, the Southern Cloud Empire would not be invaded by others and they wouldn't be asked to hand over anyone. However, Lu An turned to look at Li Han. He didn't think that this girl's alchemy skills would be so strong.
However, when Lu An looked at Li Han, he realized that Li Han's expression was a little surprised. It was as if she was very surprised by this result. It wasn't that she didn't become the champion, but she was surprised that they were tied for first place. It was obvious that she thought that she might lose.
Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this. He turned to look at the judge's platform. Could it be that there was a problem?
That's right, there was a problem.
Among the six judges, although each of them came from different sects, for the sake of balance, each sect had to have a judge. Among them, the Yang Rong Empire and the Southern Cloud Empire would send one judge each. The Heavenly Dragon Empire and the Montenegrin Empire would send two judges each. There was a total of six judges.
After all, this matter was related to the empire. Although it didn't have anything to do with the sects, it was related to their reputation. It was understandable that the Yang Rong Empire's judges would vote for Li Han. What made Liang Song angry were the two judges from the Montenegrin Empire!
Whether it was the degree of completion or the quality of Lu An's pills, they were obviously a level higher than Li Han's pills. This was something that any eighth-grade alchemist could easily tell. However, these two alchemists had voted for Li Han against their will. It was obvious that they had ulterior motives!
That's right, they had ulterior motives. This matter was suggested by the Montenegrin Empire and they were the ones who started it. Their target was the Southern Cloud Empire. They could let anyone win the championship except for the people from the Southern Cloud Empire. Therefore, they voted for Li Han from the Yang Rong Empire.
However, since things had already come to this point, Liang Song couldn't pursue the matter any further. Lu An also wouldn't offend the various large sects for the sake of a champion's position. He prepared to leave amidst the cheers that filled the sky.
However, just as he was about to turn around, Li Han suddenly spoke up.
"What about our bet?"
Lu An was startled. He turned around and looked at Li Han. Amidst the cheers that filled the air, he calmly said, "You and I are tied. Since there is no winner or loser, it is naturally invalid."
"That won't do." Li Han raised her head and said seriously, "Since you and I have already made a bet, we must determine the winner."
Lu An frowned and said, "Miss, what do you want?"
"It's simple." Li Han smiled and said, "Either you continue to compete with me, or we'll settle this as a win-win situation. At that time, I'll spare your life, and you'll spare mine. How about it?"
Lu An frowned when he heard this. He didn't know why this woman always talked about this condition with him. Could it be that this woman was certain that there would be a conflict between them?
All 200,000 people were looking at the two of them. Lu An also didn't want to stay any longer. He directly said, "Alright, we'll settle this as a win-win situation. I'll spare your life!"
Li Han's smile deepened and said, "Deal!"
After the competition ended, Lu An was also very tired. He didn't delay any longer. He turned around and flew towards the Southern Cloud Empire's VIP room. At this moment, the six women had already come out from the VIP room and stood in the air waiting for him.
Lu An came in front of the six women. Yao asked worriedly, "Husband, are you very tired?"
"I'm fine." Lu An smiled and said, "Let's go back first."
The six women nodded and prepared to fly towards the transfer array in the air. But under the eyes of the crowd, when the seven of them were halfway to the transfer array, a figure suddenly shot out from the crowd of the Heavenly Dragon Empire and chased after the seven of them at an extremely fast speed!
This person's face was anxious. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with the seven of them, he anxiously shouted, "Lu An!!"
"Lu An … …"
"Lu An … …"
The voice was incomparably loud. It directly suppressed the loud cheers and even produced an echo in the entire competition field.
This shout instantly made Lu An and the six women's bodies tremble. They even became stiff as they looked at the source of the voice in disbelief.
In the distant sky, the person who shouted was none other than the daughter of the Reverent Heaven Sect's Zhang Yun, Zhang Yutong.
Lu An's eyes widened. A few months ago, when they were looking for the Dragon Bone in the Northern Three Seas, the two of them met once. He didn't expect to see her again here.
In fact, Zhang Yutong was already here during the second round of the competition. After hearing about the Pharmacist Conference, she knew that this was a conference that would attract the attention of the whole world. It was very likely that Lu An would also come. After looking around, she found that Lu An was actually among the contestants in the second round. She was so excited that she wanted to talk to Lu An after the competition, but she didn't know what to say. She was afraid that she would say something wrong and let Lu An escape again. In that case, she wouldn't be able to see him again.
Therefore, she decided to wait for Lu An to lose the competition before looking for him. But she didn't expect that Lu An would keep winning. She was very happy, but because of this, she didn't want to let Lu An disappear from her sight again. Otherwise, she didn't know when she would see him again. So in a hurry, she shouted out Lu An's name.
She wasn't a member of the Purple Lake Lu Clan, so she didn't know about Lu An's background and troubles. As the saying goes, the ignorant are innocent. But in an instant, Lu An was put to death.
In order to select talents and to entertain themselves, every sect sent at least ten people to watch the competition. Especially in the last round, every sect sent about fifteen people. In other words, there were more than four hundred people in the competition. And Lu An's name was known throughout the entire sect. Everyone in the sect knew that they had to catch a person called Lu An, even if they didn't know why. But this was an order from the sect. They had to catch him no matter what the situation was!
Thus, in an instant, all the people from the 15 sects and 16 factions stood up. What was even more frightening was that in order to select talents, the spectators were all elders of the various sects. Their strength was outstanding, and each of them was an Eighth Level Heavenly Master. Their strength was not inferior to Yang Zhentian's.
"Run!"
Lu An immediately shouted. Beauty Yang's reaction was even faster. She immediately used her strength to control the other six people. She didn't even care if the sudden acceleration would hurt the other six people. She forced herself to run at full speed and rushed towards the Teleportation Portal!
However, the people from the 15 sects and 16 clans were all over the place. There was a sect that happened to be not far away. This group of people immediately shouted and took action. Fourteen of them performed Heaven Skills and suppressed Lu An together!
Fourteen powerful Heavenly Arts shot out at the same time, roaring through the air! This was a Level Eight Heavenly Master's attack. Immediately, the sky darkened and the earth shook!
Wherever the fourteen Heaven Skills passed, the Heavenly Masters in the air couldn't dodge in time and died on the spot! And the people from the sect didn't care about these people's lives at all. They only had eyes for this person called Lu An!
Beauty Yang shouted angrily when she saw this. Her eyes turned red and her aura soared! At the same time, she unleashed all her strength. She shouted hysterically like never before. The Soul-guiding Purple Chain, which was thousands of feet long, shot out and faced the fourteen Heaven Skills descending from the sky.
Unfortunately, although Beauty Yang's aura was not inferior, her strength was worlds apart. Even if Beauty Yang had a powerful Fate Wheel, the 14 people were also from the same sect and had extremely powerful Fate Wheels. The Soul-guiding Purple Chain didn't have any advantage.
Boom!!
The Soul-guiding Purple Chain was knocked away. The fourteen Heaven Skills attacked the seven people as if doomsday had arrived, as if they were going to swallow the seven people directly.
However, just as the 14 heavenly arts were about to reach within a thousand feet of the seven women, the six women's bodies suddenly lit up. Six dazzling rays of light appeared and instantly enveloped the seven women in a thousand feet radius, forming six layers of gigantic protective barriers!
Boom!!!
The two forces collided and the sky changed color! The explosion instantly spread in the air and spread toward the 200,000 spectators in all directions!
The other sects frowned when they saw this. Many people still had a conscience and immediately performed defensive Heaven Skills to block the explosion in the air! Although the people closest to the explosion couldn't avoid death, at least four-fifths of the people were saved!
"Ah!!!!"
These people panicked and immediately activated the Teleportation Portal to escape, including the royal families of the four empires. Princess Yan Yi screamed and wanted to rush out to find Lu An, but she was knocked unconscious by Wang Yan and taken away by force!
In just ten breaths of time, the 200,000 spectators disappeared without a trace. Only the sects' experts and the seven people who were surrounded by more than 400 sect experts were left.
Lu An and the six women stood in the air. The six layers of protective shields actually blocked the fourteen Heaven Skills, but because of this, they were damaged and obviously couldn't withstand the next attack. The six layers of protective shields were none other than the eighth-rank armor that the women had obtained from the Sky Robbers' treasure.
After one defense, it would take a long time to recover. Looking at the hundreds of people around him, Lu An's face was extremely ugly!
He could die, but the six women couldn't be harmed!
Therefore, he shouted without hesitation. The ring flashed and a black plate escaped from it!
The people in the sky were stunned when they saw Lu An smash the black plate into pieces with their own eyes.
The Black Dragon was destroyed and the Four Heavenly Dragons appeared!
In an instant, a horrifying black aura rushed to the sky and a long-awaited roar exploded in the sky!
"Roar!!!"
This roar made the sky lose its color!
